Who told him to make the cards!

And disassembled it completely.

Then compare it with ancient books.

Ultimately, a crucial and highly likely correct conclusion was reached.

Depending on the type of source, tidal structures exhibit five completely different forms.

The first is "liquid tides".

From rainwater to oceans, and even the blood in the human body.

Almost anything that is a liquid will be affected.

Second, "energy tides".

It can regulate energy and be applied to urban energy systems. It uses a de-storage method, relying on the periodic ebb and flow of tides, to rationally allocate the energy needed during the city's nighttime off-peak hours and daytime peak hours, saving a lot of resources.

Third is the "tide of life".

It affects a person's heartbeat, breathing, sleep, etc.

And the menstrual period he had previously mentioned to Chen Zhi.

The growth and dormancy of plants and animals also fall within this range.

As for whether legal life will be affected...

This is open to discussion.

Fourth is the "spiritual tide".

It is associated with emotions, memories, and dreams.

The Qingshijing should be able to serve as a carrier for these nodes.

Fifth is the "legal tide".

This is very dangerous.

It played a part in the mineral washing that Chen Zhi and Shen Qinglian experienced in Mine No. 13.

At night, legal arguments are at their peak, exceptionally active, and easily provoked.

Conversely, when the legal tide is low during the day, it is relatively safe and there will not be too many problems.

Old Man Meng didn't know much about these five types of tides.

After all, we've only just obtained the complete structure and haven't had time to study it in depth yet.

The only certainty is that the upper limit of the "tidal" principle is extremely high, so high that it can be described as terrifying.

Once applied to combat, its destructive power will be devastating.

It may even disrupt the existing card player landscape.

Old Man Meng has already begun setting up a special research team.

The specific direction has not yet been decided.

He first had to compare multiple tidal structures to identify the characteristics of each type of manifestation at the nodes.

In the tidal structure that Chen Zhi drew last time, the "tidal boundary" part accounted for a large proportion.

This time, "tide Huan" is in charge.

"Tide boundary" represents a range that can be used for all five types of tides.

“tide Huan” represents direction.

Then the problem is coming.

Which type of tide requires more detailed guidance?

Old Man Meng frowned as he pondered.

A voice suddenly came from beside my ear.

I think it's liquid.

"why?"

Old Man Meng asked instinctively.

Chen Zhidao said, "Because energy, life, spirit, and legal principles are all very abstract things, without a clear 'form'."

"At the same time, their coverage is extremely wide, and it is difficult to find a place in the world that is not affected."

"Perhaps we can see the moon not only on our planet, but also on other celestial bodies."

"It's difficult to control the details of something so large and intangible; you can only grasp the general direction."

"On the contrary, the effects of liquid tides are very clear."

"Blood and rivers go without saying, but even the largest oceans and tsunamis are as small as ants on the scale of the universe, and are much easier to guide."

"That's my opinion."

"Hmm, that makes sense..."

Old Man Meng nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, I felt something was wrong.

He suddenly looked up at Chen Zhi, who was standing next to him and peeking at his draft paper, and glared at him: "You brat, when did you get here!"

"It's been a while," Chen Zhi said, glancing sideways. "About two hours?"

Two hours?

"Keep watching!"

Swish!

Old Man Meng grabbed the draft paper and hid it in his clothes, like an old cat guarding its food.

Chen Zhizheng, still engrossed in the story, said, "Why are you being so stingy?"

"Me, stingy?" Old Man Meng laughed in anger. "You won't even let me call you 'teacher,' and you have the nerve to call me stingy?"

"You're stealing my skills!"

Chen Zhi didn't reply: "Let me take another look."

"You should call me teacher first," said Old Man Meng.

"I won't call it."

"Then I won't give it to you either, hmph."

"Fine, don't give it to me then."

Chen Zhi snorted softly, turned around, and walked back to his workbench to sit down.

Anyway, he remembered most of it, except for the last two types of tides which he hadn't had time to examine in detail.

At worst, I can push it myself slowly.

He's not in a hurry.

Life is long, he has plenty of time.

Now he needs to prepare for the assessment at Qinggong Academy.

Don't worry about what you haven't learned yet.

Put what you've already learned into practice!

Chen Zhi mentally reviewed the nodes that Old Man Meng had broken down.

Then I put aside the card I had half-finished, picked up a blank card, and started to depict a tide.

……

Chapter 33 Jade Disc

Leaving aside tidal structures.

Old Man Meng's scathing rebuke of Chen Zhi for stifling his talent tonight can be seen as pointing Chen Zhi in the right direction.

He cannot learn modern structures; he can only learn ancient structures.

The translation means you have to read the classical Chinese text.

Skip the process of returning to simplicity in the future and start living like the ancients right now.

Chen Zhi compared the claw nail card with several first-level chess piece cards and also discovered the difference in his own brushstrokes.

Later, he used the same technique he used to make claw-shaped cards to make chess pieces.

The most core simplified structure was replaced with the ancient structure, while the rest remained unchanged, with only minor adjustments made to the pattern based on the actual situation.

Because the pattern became more complex after the replacement, Chen Zhi's final card-making speed was significantly slower.

But it was completed anyway, without exploding.

This proves that it is feasible.
