Chapter 471 |
Regarding the “special medicine” for Foundation Establishment cultivators, Su Hao had seen it in the list of medicines uploaded by Yashan before. It should be a product of Yashan’s research on spiritual power enhancement drugs.
Since Feng Yan had a need for it, Su Hao didn’t mind satisfying her.
As for what Feng Hua thought…
One was a sister, the other was a master of his master. Su Hao naturally stood on his sister’s side.
However, even though the medicine was given, whether Feng Yan would successfully administer it was another question.
According to Su Hao’s estimate, even if Feng Yan had the medicine, there weren’t many opportunities for her to successfully administer it to Feng Hua. It could be seen that Feng Hua was somewhat wary of Feng Yan…
Could it be that Feng Yan had done something like this before?
Su Hao handed a square piece of rock to Feng Yan and said, “Test this new gadget I made, called ‘Wanliyin.'”
Feng Yan took it, held it in her hand and played with it. The rock was square, grey all over, with two buttons on it, one round and one triangular. She couldn’t help but ask, “What is Wanliyin?”
Feng Yan asked, “Should I press it now?”
Su Hao replied, “You can press it anytime.”
Then, after flying to a very distant place overseas and being out of sight of each other, Su Hao pressed the triangular button, activated the spiritual power inside it, and then pressed the round button.
The next moment, the small rock in his hand made a ‘ding ding ding’ sound.
At the same time, the rock in Feng Yan’s hand also made a ‘beep beep beep’ sound. Feng Yan turned it over and saw that the sound was coming from several small holes on the rock. She murmured to herself, “Next, press this round one…”
She reached out and pressed it!
“Click!”
The ‘beep’ sound immediately disappeared, just as she was wondering, a familiar voice came out from another small hole.
“Sister, can you hear me?”
Feng Yan widened her eyes in surprise, “Feng Wei, is that you? How did your voice come out?”
Su Hao chuckled, “Otherwise, why would it be called Wanliyin? It seems to have succeeded!”
Feng Yan squinted and looked out to the distant sea, but couldn’t see Su Hao’s figure, “Where are you now? Can you hear me no matter how far away you are?”
At this moment, Su Hao was on the distant sea, “I don’t know yet. I’m testing the distance. Can you hear me clearly now?”
Feng Yan’s voice immediately came out, “I can hear you clearly. This is amazing! How did you do it?”
Almost no delay was perceptible.
Su Hao continued to fly farther away, talking as he flew. When the distance between Su Hao and Feng Yan reached two hundred thousand meters, the signal severely attenuated, and finally lost connection completely.
After trying several places and finding no signal, Su Hao teleported back to Star Bay and flew back to Feng Yan. He said, “Alright, the test is over. Thanks for cooperating, Sister Feng Yan.”
With that, Su Hao casually grabbed a small bottle that appeared in his hand and handed it to Feng Yan, saying, “This is your reward.”
Feng Yan happily accepted it and uncontrollably imagined scenes of successfully administering the medicine, letting out a silly laugh.
Su Hao reached out and said, “Okay, give me the Wanliyin back!”
Reluctantly, Feng Yan returned the small rock to Su Hao, saying, “Brother, can you make a pair for me? I’ll give one to that old Feng Hua guy, then I can talk to him every day.”
Su Hao replied, “It should be possible in a few years.”
Feng Yan then asked, “How was Wanliyin made, using formations?”
Feng Yan was quite knowledgeable in formations, and Su Hao had been learning formations with her from the beginning. Now that she discovered Su Hao had made something new, she couldn’t help but be curious and itching to try making one herself.
Su Hao answered, “It involves knowledge of formations, but it’s not all formations.”
Afterwards, Su Hao stayed behind and patiently explained the principles of Wanliyin to Feng Yan, as well as how to achieve two-way communication.
However, Su Hao couldn’t finish his explanation because Feng Yan’s face gradually showed confusion, and her eyes eventually lost focus.
Helplessly, Su Hao said, “Sister, if you want to make one too, just follow Yue Ying to learn for a while!”
Feng Yan immediately shook her head, “Forget it, those things don’t suit me.”
Su Hao could only sigh at this.
Almost everyone has heard the phrase “you’re never too old to learn,” but very few people actually live up to it.
Not only Feng Yan, but even Feng Hua and Feng Ling were the same, unable to focus on learning a new set of knowledge to understand the world.
They looked young, but they were already quite old. Feng Hua and Feng Yan were both over a hundred years old, and Feng Ling was also in her tens. It was difficult for them to persist every day after the initial curiosity stage, so they eventually gave up.
Continuing their previous way of life made them feel more comfortable.
Su Hao realized something from Feng Ling and the others: to truly revolutionize spiritual technology, it’s necessary to start from childhood. With just a few decades, when the new generation grows up and replaces the old generation, the entire world will naturally change.
He also introspected, “Will I, over time, refuse to learn and gradually become as rigid as my masters? Can I always maintain my enthusiasm for learning and not fade away? Can I ensure that I won’t become complacent because of current small gains and stop striving for improvement?”
Then, Su Hao wrote down his doubts in the most conspicuous place in the pinball space, ensuring that he would see these sentences every time he entered the pinball space.
He still hopes to humbly learn knowledge and explore the unknown.
“My curiosity! I hope you never fade! I hope time will never erode your desire for exploration.”
…
Su Hao bid farewell to Feng Yan and returned to his own laboratory. He recorded the information of the two ‘Wanliyin’ devices into the pinball space, then checked the spiritual power consumption inside.
After a moment, he needed to be satisfied, saying, “The energy consumption is extremely low, almost negligible.”
Su Hao placed the two ‘Wanliyin’ devices properly and entered the pinball space to begin the communication equipment upgrade plan.
“The point-to-point voice signal propagation test is complete. The signal range is effective within two hundred thousand meters. In other words, once the spiritual power wave radiation exceeds two hundred thousand meters, it will severely attenuate and normal communication cannot be achieved. However, if the spiritual power intensity is increased, this range can be further extended. In other words, if the power is sufficient, satellite signals five million meters away can completely radiate to the ground.”
To cover the entire planet with spiritual power signals, Su Hao had two plans: one was to establish numerous signal base stations on the continent, interconnected to cover the entire continent, and the other was to send a large number of satellites into space, synchronous rotation, providing stable signals.
After a simple calculation, Su Hao immediately decided: both satellite and base stations were needed.
However, this gave rise to new problems: a large number of personnel were needed for daily maintenance.
Involving manpower meant involving money. Here, the ‘money’ mentioned was not gold, silver, or spiritual stones, but ‘productive forces’.
In simple terms, increasing productivity produces more value, which allows many people to be freed from frontline production and engage in other labor.
After productivity increases, the surplus value produced is the ‘money’ Su Hao uses for daily maintenance!
After going around in circles, he returned to productivity.
However, these were not the problems Su Hao needed to think about at the moment. Right now, he just needed to design the base stations, satellites, and personal terminals.
But, this was easier said than done!
Signal processors, signal exchangers, spiritual power displays, information storage disks, etc., all needed to be slowly made by Su Hao using various spiritual power materials.
And this was just the hardware, there was still matching software to be built.
Su Hao took a long breath, “Next, is the long research and development time.”
The ‘long’ Su Hao referred to was estimated to be around fifty years. If suitable talents could be cultivated to assist, then this time would be shortened.
For the future gains, fifty years of investment was worth it. Moreover, during these fifty years, he wouldn’t only focus on this one thing; the main line was always to find a method for spiritual power to carry consciousness.
Su Hao had never had an easy journey. He understood that to obtain what he wanted, he had to invest time and effort, there were no shortcuts.
“I will definitely soar into space! This worldly body will absolutely not perish on this planet!”
