There's something wrong with me

Chapter 159 Global Changes

On that day, words like "divine arts" and "spiritual energy" became the subject of a nationwide frenzy.

after one day.

Dazhou.

Zhang Feng and a group of foreign officials arrived by car at this largest medicinal herb plantation in the West.

"Number 1635 is normal..."

"Temperature of No. 315 is normal..."

"This medicinal herb requires the injection of these elements at regular intervals to cultivate..."

now.

Within the seemingly endless greenhouse planting area, there are nearly 30,000 workers.

A small portion of them were people from Bactria who came to guide the West in cultivating medicinal herbs.

They explained things to the best of their ability, without holding anything back.

They also hoped that the herbs from the enhanced formula could be planted in the sparsely populated West.

Similarly, the West holds an absolute advantage in the widespread use of medicinal herbs.

Because they have too few people and too much land.

This is an indisputable fact.

If things develop further, the West might even surpass Great Xia at an unprecedented speed, becoming a major exporter of medicinal materials.

At that time, Great Xia will become a country that imports medicinal materials.

Previously, it was the Great Xia that was exporting finished products of the "Power-Dissolving Medicine".

The medicine for neutralizing internal energy is also a basic medicine for cultivation by all people.

And now.

When the convoy arrived at a 100-meter-high man-made hill in the distance.

As Zhang Feng got out of the car, he looked down at the entire park below.

Crash-

The elders of the Chan Dynasty, including Genard, also got out of the car and followed behind Zhang Feng, looking out over their largest 'medicinal herb project'.

And at this moment, looking out from a high place.

This scene, resembling the entire earth covered in white greenhouses, creates a truly stunning visual effect.

"I need element 6 here, transfer to shed 6433..."

Within the gaps of the greenhouses, the 30,000 staff members, like a colony of ants with a clear division of labor, diligently performed their duties and coordinated every link.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner, contributing to the greater well-being of the entire population.

To put it very bluntly.

When they saw such a massive medicinal herb project, Genard and his colleagues were very proud.

Because the early stages of this project took nearly four years to move mountains and fill pits.

Then comes land reclamation and fertilization, which involves an enormous amount of work.

Just like the 100-meter-high man-made hill under Zhang Feng's feet, it used to be a small hill in the park, which was 'moved' here.

"According to the data, this place is about 2.1 times larger than our largest planting base..."

At the same time, some officials and reporters from Great Xia also made no attempt to hide their amazement.

This project was also reported in the newspapers and was called the 'Century Medicinal Materials Project' by the West.

Although the name is somewhat exaggerated, it does provide data stating that this medicinal herb project can meet the medication needs of one million people!
They have 16 more medicinal herb bases in the preliminary stages, and three more in the process of selecting land.

If all of these measures are implemented, they will solve the problem of supplying the medicinal formulas for 20 million people worldwide!

In addition to the second-tier base areas of the Great Xia and other dynasties, the medicine supply for 50 million people can be met within the next five years!
The most obvious thing then will be that the price of medicinal herbs will drop indefinitely.

If the scale is even larger and the optimization is even greater, the formula for dissolving internal energy might be able to replace grain, making it truly available to everyone.

As for cost, theoretically, it is possible to achieve the cost price of wheat cultivation once planting technology and related technologies advance further.

The widespread adoption of the Z1 has fundamentally solved the biggest problem: energy costs.

Now, only the transportation issue remains.

This is a headache for the whole world.

It wasn't just Zhang Feng.

But at this moment, we are much closer to the 'fantasy utopia' that Zhang Feng envisioned.

now.

Zhang Feng also realized that the utopia he envisioned, if described in a more specific way, was a 'celestial realm where everyone could live a long life'.

This is indeed a major problem.

Simultaneously.

After inspecting the plantation area, Zhang Feng turned his gaze to Gernard and the others behind him.
"good."

……

The two words "not bad" represent Zhang Feng's affirmation of Western planting practices and also signify the temporary end of this Western visit.

But on the way back.

Zhang Feng also saw that new 'computing power buildings' were being built on most of the open land in the west.

The computing power building currently boasts the world's largest computing power.

The more the better, of course.

Of course, it is also currently the largest energy monster.

Its specifications are 'half-step extraordinary level', which is even higher than world-class.

The only truly extraordinary technology currently available is the Z1.

The Z1 now holds a dominant position in global technology.

Other than that.

Zhang Feng did not focus on discussing the 'Federation' with Grenard and the others.

I only had a brief chat with Bai Gongli and a group of governors last night.

now.

On the plane back to Daxia.

Zhang Feng also sent the questions they raised to the planning department, asking them to focus on the calculations.

Furthermore, Lao Liu and others also held an online meeting with Grenard and a group of foreign North Korean officials, which lasted for several hours.

The results came out about three hours later.

The answer is no.

There are too many problems inside.

First, should the currency be unified or mixed?

Hybridization, which follows the existing path, is essentially the same as not having a federation.

However, if unification were achieved, there would be a great benefit: global economic flows would increase, and risks such as inflation and exchange rates would decrease significantly.

But after unification, will the accounts be managed separately or centrally? And how will the autonomy of each dynasty be calculated?
It is difficult to reach a consensus on this in a short period of time.

The claim of "making way for the evolution of the entire population" is not enough to cause major chaos in the entire livelihood and economy.

Because it seems like economic mobility is improving.

However, before the rise, it may cause the underlying logic of foreign exchange and local large enterprises to collapse, leading to bankruptcy, causing millions of people to lose their jobs and causing chaos, as well as a major reshuffle of the global economy.

Of course, some people have proposed a gradual phase-out approach, which might be feasible. At least it would allow many people to struggle and adapt, and perhaps they would survive.

While the economic problems seem to have been solved, the military aspects remain a major issue.

Should the core be managed separately or entrusted to a third party?
In terms of military strength, should it be divided or unified?

Indeed, when faced with the challenge of nationwide progress, and with tangible results already achieved, everyone is eager to work together. However, this is not something that can be decided by a single statement from them.

As the leaders, they are responsible for the people behind them.

Zhang Feng believed this statement wholeheartedly.

Because they now have everything and lack nothing, the spirit stones have extended their lives by at least 5 to 10 years.

If they don't take responsibility for the people, what else can they do?
All that's left is to leave your name.

This is the last thing they'll do, and it's the only thing they're after.

Zhang Feng believed it, absolutely believed it.

Because in reality, apart from learning knowledge, my life is already pretty much the same as theirs.

They wanted to leave their mark on the history of 'building utopia' and be imprinted within a new civilization.

He also wanted to create a 'celestial realm'.

Everyone's thoughts are pretty much the same, except maybe they want immortality even more.

Furthermore, to achieve immortality, one must unite the power of the entire world.

This is inevitable.

The nationwide computing power initiatives of the past few years have already shown everyone the great progress of global collaborative civilization.

And now, everyone's in a bind.

After all, it seems difficult to achieve uniformity in form.

Coordination among all parties is not something that can be achieved in a single sentence.

To put it simply, even married couples argue about money, let alone the billions of people on a planet.

Everyone is feeling their way across the river, there's really no clue what to expect.

It would be better to be like the current situation of couples who are in a long-distance relationship: when they want to meet (because of a new topic), they can be together, and when the matter is settled (after the research is completed), they can separate.

However, some people have put forward a very outrageous claim.

Now, the focus is on directly targeting businesses and individuals that may be affected, encouraging them to begin transformation.

……

three days later.

Within the base.

Zhang Feng stopped caring about this matter.

Although the idea of unification was proposed by myself, I just need to get a general understanding of it and then hand it over to professionals to implement.

And through this incident, there was also a trip to the West.

Zhang Feng also learned about the current global situation.

This can be considered a practical investigation.

This gave them a more intuitive understanding of the foundation of their own rear base.

In the following days, Zhang Feng also wrote down various unified training methods for tempering the body with spiritual energy.

Although there are many martial arts techniques in the ocean world.

However, they can all be integrated together, like martial arts, to achieve 'integrated' teaching.

Furthermore, there is the ancient martial arts practice for body training.

Zhang Feng also carefully broke them down, and then used the method of checking for omissions and filling in the gaps to improve some of the boxing techniques and methods of neutralizing force.

To further improve the physical fitness of the entire population and to achieve the replenishment of high-end data.

As for the Corpse Refining Technique, and the 'Beast Breeding Technique' similar to that of the Big and Small Crows, let's leave those aside.

The animal breeding technique involves infusing animals with spiritual energy daily according to certain methods to help them cultivate.

They cultivate methods such as Qi cultivation and foundation building.

Over time, if you force them to reach the level of 'qi' (vital energy), you might be able to open your mind.

This "qi" refers to the state of being before one practices qi cultivation.

Only when you can sense the Qi can you begin cultivation.

Of course, to a greater extent, it's because these two crows are inherently exceptionally talented.

Otherwise, an ordinary animal would need to be fed normal spiritual energy for at least several decades before it can slowly cultivate on its own.

These were all deduced by Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng also concluded that if crows had talent, their innate talent would be around 0.7. However, their talent was far inferior to that of rats that could 'cultivate spiritual thought'.

The rat's bone structure should be in the range of 1.8 to 2, and it has an exceptionally high level of intelligence.

As for raising mice, it's about storing one's spiritual thoughts in them, constantly influencing them, and gradually awakening their spiritual thoughts as well.

Then Zhang Feng also had an idea: if the next world is longer than 50 years, then he would try raising a small pet.

This is to examine the different functional architectures.

Secondly, it is also a way to cultivate spiritual awareness.

Zhang Feng had never tried it before, so he wanted to see what the difference was.

By comparing and contrasting in this way, one might be able to optimize their own cultivation path.

……

More than half a month later.

The secret manual on spiritual energy tempering has been released globally, allowing the general public to familiarize themselves with its training methods.

The cultivation of spiritual fruits and flowers was then successfully completed.

Furthermore, after a series of optimizations, it is about 5% more effective than Ocean World.

This is an improved variety.

Through eating and cultivation, Zhang Feng also increased his physique by an additional 0.6. He will make up the remaining 3.5 physique within half a year.

The next step is how to achieve widespread deployment.

Then the root cause came back to optimizing the spirit stones.

After Zhang Feng's trip to the West, all the officials adopted the appropriate attitude, which was to further expand the manufacturing scale of Z1 and the computing power building.

Improve computing power, and then turn around to optimize the spirit stone scheme.

In recent years, in particular, a huge wave known as the 'engineering craze' has swept the world.

Engineering colleges across the country have seven times more students than in previous years.

Furthermore, young martial artists are gradually emerging among the current students.

Times are moving forward, and civilization is evolving.

Children who used to start practicing martial arts at the age of twelve or thirteen have now become adult martial artists of eighteen or nineteen.

In particular, the experimental primary schools in various regions, whose "first batch of flowers began their formal training," have also ushered in the second semester of fourth grade this year.

Their numbers number 100,000.

They are currently 10 to 11 years old.

The physical constitution is 10-16.

The instructors were the first batch of students from the original Chaofan Academy, as well as occasional lectures from the martial arts department, the military and police, and the owners of various martial arts schools.

Their teaching resources are incredibly abundant.

However, in terms of management, it is also extremely strict.

In terms of psychological guidance, there is basically one psychological counselor for every 10 people.

Strictly in accordance with the 10:1 ratio stipulated by the Ministry of War.

甚至在某些问题学生上，更是到达5：1与4：1、更或者是1：1的‘心理矫正’。

After all, a 10-year-old kid has the physique of a 10-16-year-old and is proficient in some one-hit-kill techniques.

If this isn't handled properly, it could be very frightening.

It could be said that it was on a certain street.

An adult on a bicycle bumped into him, and seeing that he was a child, cursed, "You little brat, don't you know your place?"

Then, the child's temper flared up, and with a single chop to the throat, he choked the child to death, leaving no chance for rescue.

This is what Takebe was worried about.

While it's good to cultivate character from a young age, we also need to pay more attention to psychological education.

Especially during adolescence, things get even more stressful.

Zhang Feng has already deduced that, given the current teaching resources and the fact that spiritual flowers and fruits will be used for them in the second tier, by the time they reach around 12 to 18 years old...

At age 12, physical fitness can reach a maximum of 30.

18 years old, 70.

At 70 years old, they are already capable of lifting a small car, and a pistol would not be able to damage their internal organs or bones; at most, it would get stuck in their muscles.

It is estimated that there will be 100,000 such people in 8 years.

Then every year there is an additional 100,000.

This put immense pressure on the armed forces and the military police.

However, after they turn 18, if they don't get into the Extraordinary General School, they will most likely end up in the military.

There are still four years of training left in the military.

After four years, if you don't want to stay and want to change careers, you can be assigned to local martial arts departments, police forces, or go to official martial arts schools.

Of course, their final choice depends on their personal preferences.

Even after they turn 18, if they don't want to join the military, they can choose to attend a regular university.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng had also made his own guesses.

If they really want to go to a regular university, then those universities would certainly be very happy to accept them.

……

A few days later.

Zhang Feng also heard an interesting story.

That is, many official bodies abroad are researching 'magic theory'.

There's even something called a 'Magic Grand Association'.

Although it sounds abstract, let them figure it out.

If some kind of technique for riding a broomstick into the sky were to actually emerge, it would be a breakthrough in the integration of spiritual energy and aerodynamics.

In a roundabout way, the Great Xia region could also abstractly represent 'stepping on a wooden sword'.

Zhang Feng liked this atmosphere where everyone was engaged in research.

Especially in the past three years, 34 new networks have emerged.

It's equivalent to a 'high-level martial arts manual'.

There is also some information about internal strength skills, as well as information about the small blood vessels of internal energy.

This also greatly benefited Zhang Feng.

The data on internal energy is now also beginning to yield benefits.

Some people developed internal energy and opened up some small blood vessels that Zhang Feng had never opened before.

Zhang Feng can use this as a reference to accelerate the expansion of blood vessels.

In other words, it accelerates the process of internal energy circulation.

Currently, apart from spiritual energy which is just being rolled out, everything else is generating profits.

This includes research on Z1 and research on the recombination of medicinal materials and elements.

Zhang Feng is also studying.

……

Before we knew it, the last day of our return had arrived.

morning.

Inside the office.

Zhang Feng was looking at the report that Lao Liu handed him.

The above shows all the challenges that have currently led to a bottleneck.

The key optimizations focus on the Spirit Stones and the Computing Power Building.

The key challenge that remains unresolved is superconductivity.

Zhang Feng glanced at it and got a clear idea of what it meant.

There are just a lot of problems.

But think about the rewards given by the entire nation.

This seems to be more.

Then, I also have my own research project: I'll try raising spirit beasts, explore new methods of cultivating spiritual thought, and then integrate them into the normal spiritual thought system.

Waiting for a smooth and good idea.

As Zhang Feng handed the report to Lao Liu, he asked, "What is the current spiritual energy level of the entire data center?"

"It's reached level 1." Old Liu took the report. "Now, while maintaining the spiritual energy of the base, we are trying to allocate as many planting bases as possible to start cultivating spiritual flowers and fruits."

"What is the current output of spirit stones?" Zhang Feng didn't want to ask the production department anymore, so he asked Lao Liu directly.

"The base produces 510 to 515 per day." Old Liu looked at his wristwatch, which displayed specific data. "The total number produced by the rest of our country's bases is 220 to 240."

Excluding China, the total from all other parties is between 1900 and 2100.

"The failure rate is still too high." Zhang Feng nodded, knowing that the fluctuating value was affected by the failure rate.

While the base appears to have 510-515 daily productions, the actual production volume is 750, resulting in a failure rate of nearly one-third.

As for the West, the production volume was 4000, and the failure rate was 50/50.

The synthesis of elements is a very precise process; it's not like two elements simply come into contact and a new element is formed.

On the contrary, more than ninety elements, in a very peculiar arrangement, form a magical structure that is 'relatively stable'.

The magical architecture is also dynamic. When combined, it will 'shake' irregularly for 10 to 20 seconds, similar to a kind of repulsion.

It will only become truly stable after the rejection process is complete.

During the rejection period, it is necessary to use a scientific research microscope and some precision instruments to help stabilize it.

Now, it's all done by hand, and it all depends on the researchers' skill level.

They, too, are waiting for the mass production machine for spirit stones.

Theoretically speaking, the future 'integrated spirit stone machine production line' has already recorded all possible element fluctuations in the calculations of the computing power building.

If everything goes well, the cost of crafting spirit stones will decrease by 50% as the success rate increases.

At that time, just like the price data Zhang Feng obtained a month ago, a spirit stone will be worth around 3 to 4 million.

Although it's impossible for everyone to cultivate, if we grit our teeth, we can make it possible for the heads of various martial arts schools and the first batch of students to benefit.

Zhang Feng had no good solution to this.

But it is precisely the change in the structure of the spirit stone.

It also taught Zhang Feng about the 'diversity of changes in material elements'.

What's even more absurd is that Zhang Fengqian's ever-changing strength became even more specialized after learning this diversity.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that knowledge seems to be interconnected and can be applied in various ways.

……

night.

Zhang Feng chose to go for a run in the small park near his home.

Consider it a relaxation before the next adventure.

Because this countdown is too long, a full three years.

You always need to adjust your mindset and be in your best fighting condition.

Then, as usual.
