Chapter 697 Spatial Ecology, Zhang Yu Gains Attention (6650+ words)
Unlike the hasty display of the large and small Ruyi Rings last time, this time Zhang Yu and the Magnetic God were both at ease, able to make plans more leisurely, setting up companies in advance, stockpiling materials, establishing production lines, opening factories, and opening up sales channels...
Unlike the Space Technology Research Association, which receives investment from ten universities for technological research and development, the company jointly funded by Magnet God, Green Wood God, and Zhang Yu is solely for the production and sales of their upcoming new products.
For this reason, Zhang Yu also invested all his spirit coins into the company, and with the technical contribution calculated for him by the Magnetic Extreme God, he became the company's major shareholder.
Of course, the company also accepted investment from Anzhen, Qiyun, and Qingming, the three Divine Lords of the Myriad Laws.
Zhang Yu's original civil engineering company also made preparations in advance under his guidance, making full preparations for the upcoming market changes.
Although Zhang Yu only had a few dozen spirit coins left in his account and seemed to have returned to his previous state of poverty, he was full of expectations because he had strong confidence in the products he and Magnet Design had created.
But as the day of the press conference approached, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
When his consciousness arrived at the press conference venue in the spirit world, he saw the invited audience staring at the various spirit world projections, already waiting there.
At the very front of the audience, beams of divine light representing the deities of each school floated silently like natural wonders that have existed since time immemorial.
The Thousand Puppet God of Immortal Soldier University thought to himself, "What is Magnetism up to this time? Anyway, whatever it is, I'll just copy it."
“Magnetic Pole, since you have accepted the massive investment from the other nine schools, you must open source the various technologies of the research association… No matter what product you release, it will only be copied by us in the end.”
"Given similar levels of technology, our school will undoubtedly emerge victorious by achieving the highest cost-effectiveness and maximizing cost reduction."
Just then, the press conference venue in the spirit world suddenly went dark, and all the light focused on the stage and on the Magnetic Extreme God who was gradually emerging.
Today, the Magnetic God no longer wears a rudimentary projection of the spirit world as he did in the past; instead, he projects his complete appearance in reality.
She smiled slightly and looked at everyone, saying, "I am very excited today because after countless days and nights of hard work by our entire team, we have brought you a revolutionary product that is enough to change the lifestyle of all cultivators."
As the Magnetic God spoke, a projection from the material world appeared on the stage.
It was a small, palm-sized bag that looked black and gold.
Magnetism God Lord explained from the side, "The Void Cloud Treasury, I call it a personal space platform."
"The previous Ruyi Rings of different sizes were able to shrink items for storage."
"Now, we have sealed a fixed scaling space and used space compression technology to allow this palm-sized area to store a large amount of supplies."
In the scene, various items are shrunk down and placed inside, and a large number of items can be stored in a space that is only the size of a palm.
As he spoke, rows of data appeared behind Magnetism God, representing different parameters from different versions of the Taixu Cloud Treasury.
The three versions are the standard version (30 cubic meters), the deluxe version (150 cubic meters), and the ultimate version (500 cubic meters).
The three parameters represent the ability to shrink 30 cubic meters of matter, 150 cubic meters of matter, and 500 cubic meters of matter into the Taixu Cloud Treasury, respectively.
"But it's not just for storing things; it's a small world that belongs entirely to the user, a personal space that can also be used to protect oneself from harm."
In the visual presentation, the scaling space of Taixu Yunzang is unfolded, resembling a shield. Combined with the space-distorting technology of Kunlun in the palm, it deflects various attacks through spatial distortion.
The so-called "small world" concept is, of course, an exaggerated marketing tactic, but the effect it has shown at this moment has indeed captivated countless people.
"By designing and operating this space differently, we can accomplish all sorts of amazing spatial applications."
"By warping or scaling space, we can achieve applications such as accelerated movement and spatial locking."
"In the future, based on this personal space platform, all sorts of space applications will be developed, affecting every aspect of everyone's life..."
In addition to Taixu Yunzang, Magnet God also introduced flying boats that utilize Taixu Yunzang technology, as well as intelligent construction products that incorporate Taixu Yunzang technology.
As the Magnetic God introduced each product, the Evil Lotus God, who was watching the press conference, grew increasingly solemn.
He muttered to himself, "That guy, Magnet... he's developed so many new products in such a short time?"
Especially after hearing Taixu Yunzang's various introductions, Nie Lian Shenjun's gaze became even more fixed on this product.
"A personal space platform?" Lord Nie Lian sighed. "This guy wants to build an entire spatial ecosystem and include us all in it."
The Impermanent God, who was also from the Heavenly Demon University, asked in confusion, "Spatial ecology?"
Lord Nielian pointed to his eye skeleton and said, "This personal space in Taixu Cloud Repository is like an eye skeleton that everyone has. The eye skeleton contains all kinds of applications and services, and it has become an indispensable product for every cultivator."
"And what Magnetism aims to create is precisely this kind of thing, giving every cultivator their own personal space, and developing countless spatial applications on this platform to create an entire ecosystem..."
The Impermanent God nodded, immediately understanding: "However, the research institute's space technology is all open to us. If you want to design a similar product, we should be able to do it too, right?"
At this point, Lord Nielian said seriously, "Magnetic Pole is not an idiot, so she did not intend to use all the power of the myriad laws to monopolize the benefits and then be besieged by everyone. So... although she gave herself an early advantage, she also gave all the schools the opportunity to continue to participate in the competition."
"Through the technologies shared by the research association, all capable individuals will try to participate in this competition and attempt to create a complete space ecosystem."
"The market will likely see a proliferation of products, with various personal space-like products mimicking magnetic poles emerging, all vying for market share, leading to fierce competition."
Ultimately, the winner will dominate the entire market...
Lord Nie Lian estimated: "Ultimately, it is estimated that 2 to 3 spatial ecosystems will monopolize the entire market. Most people in the market will only buy these 2 or 3 types of personal spaces, giving rise to 2 or 3 behemoth companies."
"Failed schools can only cater to these two or three types of personal spaces, and develop space applications based on the space technology shared by the research association, making a living off the meager resources."
The Evil Lotus God thought to himself, "Magnetic Pole... You truly are my formidable rival. You always manage to surprise me. Since becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, every step you take has stirred up a storm that changes the world."
"Your views on space technology are far superior to those financial scumbags in the Righteous Alliance."
"But I... will catch up with you."
Having made up his mind, Lord Nielian made up his mind and sent a message toward the Heavenly Demon University.
"Tianmo University must establish its own personal space ecosystem and become one of the final victors."
"Immediately halt the existing R&D projects and fully commit to the personal space ecosystem."
As an advisor to the Evil Lotus God, Kuang Tianqing also attended the press conference in the Spirit Realm.
Looking at the new products introduced by the magnetic pole, his mind was in turmoil: "Is this... something that the technology contained in the Palm Kunlun can achieve? And in such a short time?"
Recalling the various memories in his mind, Kuang Tianqing felt somewhat uncertain.
"Did the magnetic poles figure it out and create themselves?"
"Or... did Zhang Yu awaken more memories, helping the Magnetic Pole achieve this?"
Judging from various clues, Kuang Tianqing has concluded that Zhang Yu is an existence with the memories of an immortal, just like Dao Qiankun.
At this moment, his gaze fell on Zhang Yu, who was also at the press conference, and he was even more inclined to believe that Zhang Yu had helped the magnetic pole achieve this step.
"If Zhang Yu is the one assisting the magnetic pole, then that means... Zhang Yu supports the Ten Major faction?"
"Perhaps I should get closer to him."
"After all, if he rises to prominence in the future, I might be able to leverage his influence... to return to the sect more quickly."
Just then, Kuang Tianqing received a message from the Divine Lord of the Evil Lotus, urging him to hurry back to work.
Kuang Tianqing replied: I want to get to know Zhang Yu better.
Kuang Tianqing: After all, he is a disciple of Magnetism and still works at the research institute. Maintaining contact with him might allow us to obtain a lot of information about Magnetism.
After saying that, Kuang Tianqing's spiritual projection walked forward, wanting to get close to Zhang Yu and find an opportunity to talk to him.
But the next moment, a notification appeared in front of him.
"The area ahead is a Nascent Soul realm; entry is prohibited for those at the Golden Core realm."
"Would you like to pay spirit coins to enter the Nascent Soul realm?"
Kuang Tianqing's face darkened. He glanced at the pricing and silently took a step back, thinking, "There's no need to waste money."
So he started sending messages to Zhang Yu.
...
The University of the Underworld.
Inside a laboratory, a giant shipping container is shrinking and storing items inside.
The crowd cheered at the sight.
As his assistant, Wang Yin also stood among the cheering crowd, thinking to himself, "All the tests were successful, and I heard that many companies have already placed orders."
"Once this product is launched on the market, it will likely completely change the landscape of the transportation industry."
Just then, someone said, "Wanfa's press conference has started."
Then a projection appeared in the laboratory, and everyone began to watch its contents.
As the magnetic poles were explained, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the laboratory gradually dissipated, and Wang Yin became increasingly alarmed.
"Tai Xu Yun Zang? Personal space?"
Wang Yin's heart sank even more when he saw that the Taixu Cloud Treasury was being used on the flying boat, simply because it conflicted with their product.
But seeing how Taixu Yunzang could provide various spatial services, Wang Yin knew that they had already failed miserably. They had not even gone public, yet they had already failed.
The projection of Yin Quan Shen Jun suddenly appeared, looking at everyone and saying, "You should have all seen the press conference for Wan Fa."
"Everyone, we are very different from the magnetic poles."
Seeing everyone's dejected look, Yin Quan Shenjun encouraged them, "But it's not too late. The efforts you've made over the past period haven't been in vain. You've accumulated a lot of experience in space technology."
"Next, the school will invest heavily in creating a spatial ecosystem belonging to the Netherworld University..."
After encouraging everyone, Yin Quan Shenjun felt immense pressure.
"Those on the magnetic pole side have already started selling their products, while we here still have to start designing our products from scratch..."
Yin Quan Shenjun seemed to already see the market being frantically seized by the magnetic poles, especially in a state of war. The demand for space products and the impetus for technological change would inevitably far exceed that of Kunxu in normal times.
"We need to seize the time, because every minute and every second from now on will determine the future landscape of the personal space market."
Spiritual encouragement, material rewards, threats to the future... After giving instructions on various tasks to the experimental group, Yin Quan Shenjun began to fully promote product development, but a thought also drifted towards Wang Yin.
Yin Quan Shenjun: Go and make contact with Zhang Yu.
Wang Yin was slightly taken aback: Zhang Yu? He's just using the research institute's funds to cultivate, right? Why would I contact him?
Yin Quan Shen Jun: This shows how much the magnetic poles value him.
Yin Quan Shenjun: If you spend more time with him, you might be able to get more information about the magnetic poles from him.
Wang Yin couldn't help but say, "I'm at the Golden Core stage, he's at the Nascent Soul stage... I'm afraid he won't pay any attention to me."
Yin Quan Shen Jun: Then sell your dignity.
Yin Quan Shenjun: You must believe in yourself. You are my son, and Zhang Yu's former formidable rival. Your dignity is valuable; you can definitely fetch a good price from Zhang Yu.
Wang Yin sighed inwardly, "Alas, my mother is far inferior to the magnetic pole. Zhang Yu's potential for immortality has unknowingly surpassed mine."
After the press conference that day, more attention was focused on the magnetic pole. All the Nascent Soul cultivators from various schools began to keep an eye on the magnetic pole and collect relevant information about it, making it a long-term task.
As a disciple of the Magnetic Pole, Zhang Yu attracted considerable attention, and various cultivators, both familiar and unfamiliar, approached him at the behest of different individuals.
...
Immortal Soldier University.
Although Tian Shenggong had broken through to the Golden Core stage more than a year ago, he could only be considered a member at the lowest level in this elite experimental group.
Despite this, Tian Shenggong still felt incredibly fulfilled, because he was learning every day here and could feel his own progress.
In particular, every product released by various schools in the past month is sent to their labs for cracking on the first day of release.
Each time a problem was solved, Tian Shenggong felt the power of the school.
"Our Xianbing University's research on space technology should be among the top ten universities."
The only pity was that the entire experimental group was in a closed environment and could not contact the outside world without special reasons, which made Tian Shenggong feel that he had a lot to say but could not tell the outside world.
Just then, the projection of the Thousand Puppet God descended, his face grim as he looked at everyone and said, "I have something to tell you all. Starting today, our research and development direction has changed..."
Originally, by constantly copying other schools' products, trying to reduce costs, and squeezing factories, workers, and suppliers, Qiankui Shenjun thought he had made all the preparations to face the fierce competition from other schools' products.
However, the launch event by Magnet caught him off guard, causing his previous efforts to be almost wasted and resulting in huge losses.
Especially considering that the magnetic poles had begun to dominate the market, the Thousand Puppet God was even more anxious.
"She was at least one to two months ahead of us."
Meanwhile, Tian Shenggong below also sensed Qian Kui Shenjun's displeasure. The other party sat in the laboratory like a giant dragon, and the low pressure emanating from his body made everyone feel like they couldn't breathe, which also made the atmosphere of the entire experimental group extremely oppressive.
A day later, Tian Shenggong finally understood why Qiankui Shenjun was in such a hurry.
A magical treasure bag called Taixu Yunzang was delivered to their laboratory, and it is said to be the latest product developed by the Magnetic Extreme God.
"It can store up to 500 cubic meters of material? How is that possible?"
"This scalable space can deform? That's like combining several spatial magic treasures together, right?"
"Maintaining the stability of the scaling space while opening up all the interfaces is incredible..."
Hearing the gasps of amazement from the crowd, Thousand Puppet God-King's expression grew increasingly grim. He said, "Alright, enough talk, let's get started on cracking it. No matter how excellent Wanfa's product is, we can make something even better."
He encouraged them again: "Everyone, you are participating in a world-class project with me, an opportunity that could change the world. If you can complete this project, your future will be limitless, and your names will shine in the relevant industries..."
Tian Shenggong thought to himself, "It seems that the Divine Lord said the same thing last time."
...
Just as various schools and companies were making different reactions to the press conference of Magnet God.
Taixu Yunzang has also generated a huge response in the market.
A large number of Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators placed orders almost immediately.
The flagship store in the spirit world sold out in just over two hours after it opened.
Magnetism God had to repeatedly urge the expansion of the factory, and even joined forces with Green Wood God to use the vast magical power of the God of Transformation to accelerate the construction of the factory.
Meanwhile, thanks to advance preparation, Zhang Yu's construction company has taken on a series of intelligent space construction projects.
Seeing all this, Zhang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems like it was a success."
"However, currently only those at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages can afford to purchase the Taixu Cloud Treasury."
"In the future, we will need to reduce costs and launch a simplified version so that even basic housing can be afforded."
At the same time, more and more information appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.
Zhao Tianxing: Mr. Zhang! Congratulations on the great success of your company!
Zhao Tianxing was genuinely happy to see the company's business boom once again, because he knew that Zhang Yu would never keep the glory to himself after each increase in company performance; he would always give a raise.
Yingxin: Mr. Zhang, we're short-staffed. Should we hire another batch of new employees?
Shi Huaiyu: Mr. Zhang! When are we going public? I think our company is ready to go public!
Yan Qianji: True Lord, I want to come back and work under you at the research institute. It doesn't matter if you don't pay me a salary; I'm willing to work for you.
Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu, are we really going to make it big this time? It feels like a dream.
Bai Zhenzhen: Yu Zi, I also bought the Taixu Cloud Collection. Your teacher is amazing! I feel like this thing will become as indispensable as the Eye Skeleton in the future.
After replying to each message, Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen's message and replied: "Zhenzhen, could you come to the research institute in the Great Hollow area sometime?"
Zhang Yu: We haven't seen each other for a long time.
At the same time, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I can put aside what I'm doing for now. It's perfect time for me to help A-Zhen improve the level of her Dao Seed."
At the same time, Zhang Yu discovered that people he hadn't contacted in a long time had also sent him messages.
Kuang Tianqing: After a hasty farewell following the Top Ten Leagues, I never imagined that when we met again, Zhang Zhenjun, you would have already soared to great heights.
Kuang Tianqing: At that time, I was under the control of the aging gods of the Four Heavenly Demon Schools and had no choice but to speak harshly to them. In truth, I have always admired you, Zhang Zhenjun.
Wang Yin: True Lord, I was ignorant on the first floor, and I've come to apologize to you.
Wang Yin: I don't know if you have time recently, but I would like to express my apologies to you in person. [100 Spirit Coins]
Looking at these messages, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "In Kunxu, it's not just that your treatment changes after you become stronger; the environment also changes after you help your teacher become stronger."
...
Just as the appearance of Taixu Yunzang caused a huge stir among the top ten universities.
Within the Dark Spirit Realm, many powerful members of the Righteous Alliance are also discussing related matters.
Xi Shen said, "Once the top ten universities start to use this Taixu Cloud Treasure on a large scale, the battle situation will be unfavorable to us."
"Once the user base expands and various space applications develop, this thing will gradually improve its functions in transportation, storage, defense, mobility... It's a complete revolution!"
A demon god known as the God of Music pondered, "This is a groundbreaking product. Why have we invested so much in space technology but failed to create such a product?"
The many evil gods present all looked at the former finance majors from the top ten universities.
The resurrected Lord Chain Pivot coldly said, "I bought and examined the Taixu Cloud Treasury created by Magnetism, and I also checked it with my subordinates."
The Chain Pivot Divine Lord solemnly said, "Some of the techniques here are similar to those in 'The Great Void Barrier of the Three Realms and Ten Directions.' I suspect that someone has leaked our technical information."
"I suggest a thorough investigation of the Righteous Alliance to prevent any technology leaks."
Baotong God, who once fought against Qingmu God and whose spatial seal was broken by the Boundary-Breaking Cone, said: "Xi God, if Magnetism hadn't taken the initiative to hold a press conference, would we have ever known what she had done? I think your evil gods' intelligence work is very problematic."
Xi Shen said calmly, "Hmph, are you saying that someone leaked your technology to the Magnetic Pole, which is why they were able to develop this product that could change the course of the war?"
As the two sides began to argue fiercely, the God of News said loudly, "Everyone, now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong."
"Although the Taixu Cloud Repository will increase the strength of the top ten universities, it is still far from enough to close the gap between them and us. The battle will still be dominated by us."
"But indeed, our internal security system needs to be upgraded, and we also need to increase our infiltration efforts on the magnetic pole side."
Following the meeting, a massive search was launched targeting the entire Righteous Alliance.
At the same time, the bounties for missions related to the Magnetic God Lord have increased dramatically, and the bounties for missions related to Zhang Yu have also skyrocketed.
The auspicious god also received a message from the reporting god.
Reporting God: Auspicious God, you've been keeping an eye on Zhang Yu, haven't you?
Reporting to the God: The Alliance Leader has always wanted to recruit Zhang Yu into the Righteous Qi Alliance, and since Zhang Yu is a disciple of Magnetic Extremes, he should know quite a bit of inside information.
Report God: Do you have any ideas on how to infiltrate Zhang Yu?
After the conversation, Xiang Shen immediately felt that his work, which he had been doing all along, was finally being valued.
Xiang Shen immediately replied: "People have always said that Zhang Yu is a sentimental person. Judging from his care for his classmates and fellow villagers, and his rescue of Le Mulan when he emerged from seclusion last time, that's certainly true."
Xiang Shen: According to the information I currently have, he has an extremely good relationship with Bai Zhenzhen from Tianjian University.
Xiang Shen: It's just that Bai Zhenzhen is good at hiding, and her whereabouts have always been a mystery. I only recently found some clues.
Xiang Shen: If we can convert Bai Zhenzhen to a believer, we'll have a chance to convert Zhang Yu as well. That way, we can not only fulfill the Alliance Leader's request but also plant a seed of support near the Magnetic Pole.
God of News: Okay, tell me what you need, and I will fully support you.
Auspicious God: Isn't the Goddess of Fortune very familiar with Wanfa University? I haven't been able to contact her before. I wonder if you could ask her to help me with this matter?
