Give Douluo a technological shock

"Hehe." Amu, who was tanned a bit dark from the previous infiltration of farmers, smiled honestly at Chen Fu's question. He was used to being an ordinary person, and he found it really hard to do what it was like to be a high-ranking official and manage others.

Over the years, he has often mingled among the ordinary management at the grassroots level, sometimes responsible for guiding the thoughts of new employees, or working silently on the front line, serving as the vanguard to infiltrate the border people of neighboring countries, and also as the secret agent who conveyed the internal situation of Xingdou to the Xingluo Empire.

"Governor Amu believes that the unification of the world is an inevitable trend. Whether it is us or others who succeed, the Pandora's box of thought has been opened, and the general trend of world development will no longer be swayed by the personal will of any one person. Therefore, I have had a few questions over the years, and I hope to get the answers from the governor this time."

Amu looked at Chen Fu quietly and attentively. He was a pure person, which could be seen from the fact that he had participated in many of Xingdou's hidden experiments but still chose to work silently on the front line as a grassroots administrator.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Xingdou faction, Amu's life might have been spent quietly and uneventfully in the Xu family's fiefdom within the Xingluo Empire, without any regrets.

But reality is different from Shang Ruo's. Chen Fu never underestimated the mature-looking young man before her, whose martial spirit had degenerated into Blue Silver Grass. Although this person was ordinary in many technical and combat fields, even arguably lacking in talent, aren't most people like that? Often, they remain unknown and ordinary, doing ordinary things in ordinary places, yet achieving extraordinary things from those ordinary things.

Does Amu have any special skills? Definitely, and they're quite impressive. Chen Fu often sees Amu as a representative of "ordinary people." He's always able to promptly address problems at the grassroots level and offer suggestions for improvement. Moreover, many of the current middle managers have received Amu's help, demonstrating his strong influence at the grassroots level.

"Yes, go ahead." Chen Fu looked at Amu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and whose eyes were shining with seriousness, and nodded gently.

Amu is a good friend, which is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to be promoted.

"All schools are saying the same thing: energy is conserved. So I don't doubt that Star Dou will be the ultimate victor with its vast energy resources. But I want to ask: after we win, with limited resources, will we, like in Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, refuse to let ordinary people awaken their martial souls nationwide in order to protect a minority of people from having sufficient cultivation resources?"

Martial Soul Awakening is an activity with almost no loss. In the early years, Star Dou could build large-scale Martial Soul Awakening Arrays to awaken the Martial Souls of hundreds or thousands of people at once, and the consumption was only the Soul Power that Soul Masters would normally recover.

But history tells future generations in a new way that the fewer people who wield power, the better; ideally, you should be the only one.

"Let me tell you a story." Chen Fu looked at Amu, whose eyes were very serious, thought for a moment, and then said:

"In a certain world, people believe that knowledge is power and can change one's destiny. However, human greed is insatiable; it both keeps humanity striving for progress and makes those at the top prone to complacency."

"The educated can rule over the uneducated; those deprived of their right to education cannot understand the law, nor do they understand the value of the products of their own labor."

"Why do they want to monopolize education? Because they are afraid—afraid that a genius might emerge from among generations of illiterate farmers, afraid that their unbreakable knowledge barriers, built up over hundreds or thousands of years, will be broken."

"In your opinion, which is more important: knowledge that doesn't change the distribution density of the world's energy, or the cultivation of soul power?"

Amu frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Soul power cultivation."

Hundreds of millions of intellectuals will not affect the distribution of energy in the world, but hundreds of millions of soul masters can bring the Douluo world close to an era without soul power!

"..." Chen Fu looked at Amu in silence, and as Amu's expression grew increasingly tense, she said softly, "People's right to receive education can be taken away, let alone the opportunity to master extraordinary powers, right?"

“However,” Chen Fu paused slightly, looking at Amu seriously, “soul power is only one answer to this world, while knowledge is the foundation for exploring more answers.”

Amu fell silent. If he wasn't mistaken, the world of ordinary people that Governor Chen Fu had described to him should be the governor's own past life. Although Chen Fu himself did not publicize it, he did not keep it a secret either. Therefore, Amu understood that the first governor of Xingdou had an extraordinary background.

"The second question." Amu didn't remain silent for long before asking the second question.

Chen Fu's answer to the first question was very conservative, so much so that it had two completely opposite solutions: if Xingdou could not find "new answers to new knowledge exploration," then Chen Fu would not guarantee what would happen in the future.

"Okay, go ahead," Chen Fu gestured with her hand.

Then Amu stared intently at Chen Fu for a long time before finally speaking softly:

"How much longer can we hold out?"

Chen Fu narrowed her eyes and silently looked at Amu, her fingers rhythmically tapping on the table in front of her.

Da da da.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Fu quietly asked, "How many people are 'we'?"

"At least fifty million!" Amu said firmly.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Fu suddenly laughed, "Hehe, I thought you were going to include the people from the Kunlun Continent too."

“Different cultures, different races!” Amu glanced at Chen Fu, whose eyes held an interesting look, and continued, “The backward are attacked, and the wrongdoers are punished. This is an unchanging truth. How can someone who joins halfway and enjoys prosperity?”

Chen Fu looked at Amu with interest, only now realizing that Amu's "great love" was actually something else.

Just like the Buddhist saying: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." This is actually a very cruel thing for "other Buddhas".

Because your persistent and arduous practice cannot compare to the sincerity and joy of someone else's so-called "letting go".

Therefore, in Amu's view, only the five nations currently existing on the Douluo Continent can be considered a civilization; the rest are alien races. And even if the more powerful Star Dou Empire were to grant those alien races the same equal rights as its own citizens, it would still be a trampling on the hard work and sacrifices of its own people!

"If it's fifty million," Chen Fu's eyes flashed with a pale blue fluorescence, and the vast Heavenly Dao Spirit Network in the void began to activate silently.

"At most five hundred years. Five hundred years is a red line. If Xingdou does not find a new path after five hundred years, then most people will die."

"..." Amu frowned, looking at Chen Fu, whose expression remained unchanged, and couldn't help but ask, "Most people will die? What exactly are you doing?"

He initially just felt that Xingdou's current development speed was too fast, and the consumption of resources was terrifying. So he wanted to ask Chen Fu how he made trade-offs between resources and population. But what did he hear? The vast majority of people will die? Is that something a human being could say?

"You don't need to worry about it. This is a deal, and everything will be as it is."

Chen Fu casually traced lines in the air with her fingers, while simultaneously signaling to Amu not to be too nervous.

The fact that Xingdou could develop so smoothly naturally came at a price.

Otherwise, Chen Fu might not be allowed to extract the soul power factor from the core of Pandora, and forced extraction could invite hostility from the world.

"Any question?"

Seeing that Amu remained silent, Chen Fu kindly inquired.

"...It's gone."

"Alright, you may leave if you have something to do." Chen Fu waved to Amu, indicating that Amu could leave.

Amu's role this time was to establish contact with the Star Luo Empire, letting them know that the Star Dou Empire was currently disciplining the natives on another continent and would not be making any moves in the short term. Furthermore, the upcoming Third Douluo Conference was a clear indication that the Star Dou Empire had absolutely no interest in interfering in their affairs; they could do whatever they wanted. As for the Sun Moon Empire, it was its own fault for being restless; they simply didn't want to disrupt the superficial balance.

Moreover, as the titled Douluo from other countries return from their overseas explorations, this information will gradually be confirmed, and then the whole continent will begin to know that the Star Dou Empire is now bullying children on the Kunlun Continent. Even Jin Lin, the bodyguard of Chen Fu, the first governor of the Star Dou Empire, has gone there to wreak havoc. Therefore, the dynamics within the Star Dou Empire are trending towards a defensive posture.

The Douluo Three Kingdoms were naturally happy to see this kind of verifiable information. They were also secretly working hard to produce battle armor, and their strength was constantly increasing, while the Star Dou Empire was fighting a primitive indigenous country with a population of over ten million and the power of the Sea God, which should have depleted its strength.

Between this addition and subtraction, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douluo Empire naturally felt that waiting a little longer would give them a better chance. Moreover, given the Star Luo Empire's current stance of almost clearly not intending to act together with their two countries, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douluo Empire were quite happy to see what would happen between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

As for defeating the Star Dou Empire? That's the Sea God's business. Their mission is simply to destroy the Star Dou Empire's internal defenses in the mortal realm. As for those powerful individuals that are difficult to defeat, they are the Sea God's own prey, and they don't need to get involved.

What they didn't know was that the Star Empire's attack on the Behemoth Tribal Alliance didn't even require the use of its own forces. The two thousand troops, plus the Golden Scales that joined them later, nearly breached the vast Behemoth Tribal Alliance in just one month.

Even with several escort ships produced afterward and the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan following behind, the Dawn Ship was already roaming the waters near the capital of the Heavenly Fox Tribe Alliance, giving the Kunlun Continent no chance to change its situation.

The reason why Chen Fu didn't care much about the Star Luo Empire's reaction was that he would create a safe external environment for the Star Luo Empire. This is also why he not only didn't interfere with the Behemoth Tribe Alliance, which had started to show signs of rebellion in previous years, but could even be said to have been somewhat indulgent.

Although the outcome may seem to have resulted in the tragic deaths of an engaged couple, it saved millions of ordinary people who could have lost their lives in an earlier war.

All I can say is that you should avoid going to dangerous places unless absolutely necessary.

Watching Amu leave from the corner of her eye, Chen Fu pondered for a moment, then gently waved her hand. The entire empty government hall was instantly transformed. Rows of tall, imposing, and solemn soul-guided chairs began to appear in sequence, eventually turning the entire government hall into a solemn and dignified conference hall.

"Hong, have the results of the food-type Soul Master's soul power conversion into life energy come out yet?"

While admiring her masterpiece, Chen Fu contacted Chen Hong through the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Network.

"Stop rushing me! It'll be done soon!"

"You spoke too quickly yesterday too."

"My God! You yourself know that was yesterday? Anyone who didn't know would think it was last year! You keep nagging and nagging, but you don't help at all. How could you be so unreasonable!"

Chen Hong's complaints and rants kept coming to my ears.

"I'm just protecting your independent intellectual property rights, hehe." Chen Fu chuckled and let go of Chen Hong, whom she had forced to do hard labor.

Soul power is indeed one answer to this world, especially food-based martial souls.

Soul power is all the energy required to transform into life. In other words, all Soul Masters can be seen as undefined "energy bodies" that can survive simply by consuming energy.

If this world had to point to a single answer, then Chen Fu would first recommend: Food Soul Master.

Sorry guys, I went to meet up with someone yesterday and didn't have time to write.

Chapter 232: Fourth Generation Energy Technology [Heart of God]! [Please Subscribe]

Chen Fu, who was originally a researcher of energy technology, had been very curious about the food-type soul masters of this world ever since she broke the mystery of her birth and awakened her own will.

If we exclude the strange and unusual effects of food-type Soul Masters' Soul Power, from the perspective of simply satisfying hunger, food-type Soul Masters are a kind of existence that is closest to the Dao.

In the armies of all nations on this continent, there are high-level food-type Soul Masters, because a single food-type Soul Saint can be responsible for the food and logistics of tens of thousands of people. It's simply outrageous, ridiculously absurd.

In the eyes of people in this world, food-type Soul Masters, though rare, are generally considered to be all show and no substance, merely versatile add-ons. However, in Chen Fu's view, the process by which food-type Soul Masters use Soul Power to create food can almost be described as that of a god of energy.

Soul power is transformed into food, energy is transformed into matter, and it can even be said that soul power food itself is energy food with a material form. To put it more simply, food-type soul masters are making others use energy to satisfy their hunger!

All the trace elements needed by the human body can be replaced by soul power in the hands of food-type soul masters. In Chen Fu’s view, this is a god-level energy technology that is even more bug-like than a weightless spatial soul tool.

If the Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent could shift their research focus to food-type Soul Masters, then Chen Fu was almost certain that these Soul Masters would obtain a technological route that led directly to the root of the Great Dao.

Previously, due to the immaturity of many technologies, Chen Fu had not been able to devote his energy to the production principle of "soul power food". However, now that conditions are gradually maturing and he has the help of a qualified worker, Chen Fu has begun to conduct in-depth research on the "energy replenishment" phenomenon behind "soul power food".

Without going so far as to turn all Soul Masters into "energy bodies" that can survive simply by replenishing their energy, we should at least imitate the principles of Soul Power Food used by Food-type Soul Masters to develop a completely new supply system.

In the world of technology, this technology has a relatively easy-to-understand name: life support capsule.

Furthermore, Chen Fu's most core energy technology masterpiece, the Energy Ark, is also developing towards a higher level of technology after three consecutive generations of iteration.

On the third-generation energy ark, Chen Fu has achieved miniaturization that can maintain the normal use of the soul tool armor, and what is consumed is only some high-density high-energy material.

Furthermore, based on the different output limits, Chen Fu developed the Martial Soul Armor model and the Energy Ark, such as the core engine of a large warship, to serve large creations, based on the third-generation Energy Ark.

Although in terms of energy output capacity, the individual version of the third-generation energy ark is far inferior to the energy ark that is equipped with the Martial Soul Armor and the Dawn Ship, which is already called a "reactor".

However, based on the operational logic of these energy arks of varying sizes, Chen Fu still collectively refers to them as the third-generation energy ark technology.

why?

Because the operating logic of these energy arks is the same: fill material - burn - release energy - fill material, so even though their effects seem to be very different, they still fall under the scope of third-generation energy technology.
