I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 249 Why do we need to know each other before we meet?
The next day.

Except for some technicians who stayed to carry out exploration work, everyone else left.

The same is true for Minister Xie.

The content he is currently responsible for is actually mainly related to Xia Yuan.

Now that the matter has been completed, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

For him, the most important thing now is to embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.

During this period, he needs to bring his body to its peak condition and familiarize himself with the awakening method in his mind.

As for Li Qingxuan and others.

After seeing the strength Xia Yuan displayed yesterday, he felt even more urgent.

It’s a pity that they were so complacent about their cultivation speed before.

Unexpectedly, even though they were five kilometers apart, they couldn't even stand steadily under the aftermath of Xia Yuan's power.

It now seems that the gap is still too big.

If you can't improve your strength as soon as possible, it will be of no use in the future.

So these people immediately devoted themselves to cultivation as soon as they returned.

"Master, have you broken through to the sixth level?"

Li Qingxuan nodded.

There was no smug look on his face this time.

"Well, from now on, I will not practice with you."

After the sixth level, if three people still practice together, the speed will be greatly reduced.

The reduction in speed was not the main reason why he made this choice.

Rather, he would feel that his motivation was a little lacking when he was practicing.

Once this happens, it is very likely to stall midway, resulting in the inability to complete a round of tempering.

At his current level, the source energy required for tempering once is much more than at the beginning.

So he needs a higher source energy concentration.

After Li Qingxuan's practice during this period and discussions with Feng Yuanshan and others.

He has almost figured out a more suitable environment for cultivation.

When practicing at the first and second stages, four to five people practicing together will not be affected.

At the third stage, if there are still five people, they will be affected.

Now Feng Yuanshan and his companions have had this feeling, so they have divided into two groups to practice.

Feng Yuanshan and Wang Hai are in a group of two, and the rest are in a group of three.

As for the fifth level, there can be at most three people.

But at the sixth level where Li Qingxuan is now, there can only be two people at most.

According to his estimation, when he reaches the eighth level of cultivation, he will have to practice alone.

Otherwise it is easy to practice speed.

In a word, the source energy concentration can be high, but not too low.

If it is higher, it will just mean more pain.

As long as you have the willpower to endure the pain, the benefits you gain will definitely be greater.

For example, it is more helpful in improving mental strength.

Of course, the speed of cultivation will also be accelerated, but for them now, speed is of no use.

The main reason is that their spirit is not strong enough to withstand more training.

It could even be tempered three times, but due to excessive mental consumption, it could only be tempered twice.

Even for Li Qingxuan, his cultivation speed would definitely be affected during this period.

At least it is absolutely impossible to temper it three times a day.

This is partly because the difficulty of tempering is increasing.

It was also caused by a sudden shift to a higher concentration energy source environment.

Perhaps once the mental strength is improved, the speed will be increased again.

He was mentally prepared for this.

Little did he know that when he first started, it took him three full days to recover after tempering himself twice.

"With the current progress of your cultivation, sharing a source crystal is no longer a problem."

"But this will require a bit more of your willpower, so you must be careful when practicing."

This is indeed a big test for both of them.

So Li Qingxuan was still a little worried.

"Remember, don't be stubborn when you can't bear it."

"Don't worry, Master. If you can't even bear this, then what's the point of awakening?"

"You kid, you're just getting started. First, cultivate to the Xiantian level. Is awakening something you should be thinking about right now?"

Li Qingxuan's face darkened and he couldn't help but scold.

This traitor is even more crazy than him.

He wanted to awaken before even tempering his heart.

"Alright, start practicing!"

……

Just as a group of people began to practice again, Xia Yuan also went to see the academy's design drawings.

All in all, it was almost the same as he expected.

The entire college covers an area of ​​about 15,000 acres.

What does 15,000 acres mean?

You have to know that the university that Xia Yuan attended at that time was only a little over 2,000 acres, and it took nearly fifteen minutes to walk from the north gate to the south gate of this 2,000-acre college.

You can imagine how big these 15,000 acres are.

Most importantly, these 15,000 acres will only accommodate a few hundred people.

For quite a long time, the number of people inside it would not exceed fifty.

However, such a large area is certainly not fully planned, and there is still a large amount of blank area left.

There are about 7,000 acres of blank space, which is reserved for future use.

As for the planned areas, the largest area is undoubtedly the physical testing area.

It's about two thousand acres.

This is because the physical fitness of the extraordinary people is taken into consideration, so the range is a little larger.

The second is the dormitory area, which is about 800 acres.

Although it occupies a relatively large area.

But in fact, the house is not as big as imagined, about half an acre.

It's just that the distance between them will be a little further.

Apart from these two, all other facilities together occupy a total of 5,000 acres.

"Mr. Wang, how much do you estimate it will cost to build this academy? Just give me a range."

This Mr. Wang is the chief engineer responsible for the design of Xiayuan College.

He also knew the purpose of Xia Yuanjian's establishment of this academy.

"Well, if it's just the infrastructure construction, considering the difficulty of construction in that area and the cost of materials, I estimate it to be between 50 billion and 60 billion."

"Sixty billion, why is it so little?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang almost couldn't breathe.

Are you talking humanly?

Damn, 60 billion is not enough?
"That's not what I meant. Didn't Minister Xie tell me before that it would cost at least 100 billion?"

Seeing the old man like this, Xia Yuan hurriedly explained.

"That's because I just calculated the cost of these buildings for you."

"Although I don't know what your Extraordinary Academy specifically does, you can't just build an empty shell academy, right?"

"of course not."

"That's right, but if other equipment is added, then I don't know!"

He is only responsible for building the college, and other matters are not his responsibility, so he has no idea how much money it will cost.

In fact, the bulk of the money spent by ordinary colleges is not spent on building the colleges.

The real big expense is land acquisition, operating costs, and various other facilities.

The most important thing is the teaching staff.

For example, Kyoto University, according to Minister Xie, has an annual operating fund of no less than 30 billion.

Of course, it depends on the specific situation of each school.

It would cost about 5 billion to build an ordinary university.

As for top universities, hundreds of billions are definitely required.

The academy Xia Yuan had built had actually saved a lot of money. If he had followed the established procedures and wanted to build a 15,000-acre academy near Death Valley, it would have cost far more than 100 billion.

It can be said that he almost only needs to pay for construction materials, equipment, and personnel costs.

The rest are almost entirely official.

In this matter, if you really count it, the money paid by the government is even no less than Xia Yuan.

But Xia Yuan had no idea at all.

He had no idea how many shortcuts he had taken.

Of course, the official said that it would definitely not be a loss.

It can almost be said that the source crystal is cheap, and cultivating five extraordinary people is worth it.

Not to mention that if the laboratory produces research results later, it will definitely be of greater benefit to Jiuzhou.

As the director of the Jiuzhou Management Department, they will not do business at a loss.

Little did people know that Longcheng Group paid at least 100 billion just for the two places.

So in this matter, there is no such thing as loss or no loss.

Rather, it depends on whether this matter is beneficial to you and whether it is worth it.

As for Xia Yuan, he also didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.

As the owner of the panel, everything he does is a zero-cost business.

All he had to pay was a few days.

These few days will give him another possibility in the future.

why not?

Shao Longcheng also looks to the future. As long as he is alive, it is worth spending any amount of money.

What's the point of all this money once he dies?

The same is true for Jiuzhou, they hope to achieve rapid development in the future.

At their level, what they care about is not the immediate gains and losses, but the long-term plans.

After saying goodbye to Old Wang, Xia Yuan rushed towards Shuwang City.

There was one last little thing he needed to do.

After this matter is over, you can focus on cultivation.

As for the construction of the college, Xie Xuan has already started arranging help to purchase materials during this period.

After all the costs are calculated there, we can notify Shao Longcheng to prepare the funds, and then we can officially start construction.

As for the location, he had already chosen it.

It is located in a valley one hundred kilometers away from Death Valley.

The reason for choosing this place is that it is surrounded by mountains and there are almost no people within a hundred miles.

It’s actually not easy to get in.

This kind of place is more suitable as the location of the Extraordinary Academy.

But there are also disadvantages, such as the low temperature, which is almost below zero all year round.

It is extremely difficult to start construction in such a place.

For this reason, if you want to attract people, you have to increase their wages.

The construction workers officially only helped with the search, but Xia Yuan had to pay for it himself.

No, it was from Longcheng Group.

Xia Yuanding's salary is also five times higher.

I don’t know what Shao Longcheng’s expression will be when he finds out.

But I guess he will be happier. The more money he spends, the higher the contribution points Xia Yuan will give him.

This is more profitable than buying and selling.

The city of King Shu.

Xia Yuan came to where Hua Changfeng lived according to the address.

Before he even entered the house, he discovered that there were three people in the house.

One of the characteristics is very obvious, and it goes without saying that it is Professor Mays.

Xia Yuan also made some special inquiries about this person.

You know what, he is really a big shot.

It is well-known in the physics community.

Xia Yuan really didn't think that Hua Changfeng could find this person.

This was an unexpected surprise.

As for the other one, he is a little younger.

However, when he saw this person's face, Xia Yuan seemed to feel a little familiar.

With his current memory, there is almost no one he hasn't met before.

But although this person is familiar, there is no one who matches the one in my mind.

But Xia Yuan didn't think much about it.

Maybe I just saw it by chance.

And it doesn’t matter even if it’s someone he knows. As long as they are not familiar friends, he doesn’t care what happens to other people.

The purpose of coming here this time is not to meet acquaintances.

"You lunatic! We've all agreed to join, but we haven't even seen a single person yet."

"Besides, we can't do any experiments here. Isn't it a complete waste of time?"

"Why don't you go and ask again, when will that immortal you mentioned arrive?"

Just when Hua Changfeng was about to answer.

Suddenly, another voice was heard in the room.

"No need to ask!"

"Who is speaking?"

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound.

Then several people looked towards the door.

I saw an extremely handsome young man slowly walking in.

"Mr. Xia"

When Hua Changfeng saw the person coming, his face lit up with joy and he quickly stood up and walked over to greet him.

To be honest, he didn't expect Xia Yuan to come so soon.

"Crazy, what is this?"

Xiao Wen asked curiously. He did not connect the excessively handsome young man in front of him with the immortal that Hua Changfeng mentioned.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to see me?"

Xia Yuan responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Mays and Xiao Wen were both stunned.

Before they could ask, Hua Changfeng told them directly.

"Mr. Xia is the immortal I told you about."

Then, he introduced Xia Yuan beside him:

"Mr. Xia, this is Professor Mays, and this is his student Xiao Wen."

It took Hua Changfeng a few minutes to briefly introduce the two people.

But after hearing the name Xiao Wen and the introduction of him, Xia Yuan instantly remembered him.

No wonder he looked so familiar, it turned out to be someone I used to know.

Isn’t this the genius from their town who was admitted to Kyoto University?

I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way.

I have to say, fate is really something amazing.

Only more than a decade has passed, and the other person's appearance has changed a lot.

If Xia Yuan didn’t have a good memory, he probably wouldn’t be able to remember it.

And judging from Xiao Wen's appearance, he probably couldn't recognize himself at all.

Come to think of it, my changes are undoubtedly greater than Xiao Wen's.

It would be strange if you could still remember someone you hadn't seen for more than ten years.

However, Xia Yuan had no intention of recognizing him.

Recognizing each other at this time will only add to the awkwardness!

What would he think deep down when he saw that an ordinary classmate suddenly became a so-called immortal?

So it's best to pretend to be a stranger.

Why do you have to know each other!

Let everything in the past go with the wind!
