Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 177 The Effects of Infrasound
After seeing Fang Yuhe off, Zhou Qing began to enthusiastically test his ideas.

He used a magnetic field to vibrate this metal sheet called firecore iron, causing it to emit sound waves of different frequencies.

These sound waves are imperceptible to the human ear, so Zhou Qing could only sense the vibration of the metal plate using the magnetic field, but could not perceive any other phenomena.

It seems that he has no way of observing this sound wave unless he first creates an infrasound receiver.

He didn't even know if such a thing existed.

Of course, theoretically, this must exist, but human perception cannot detect it.

If he catches a dolphin, it will be able to detect it.

Zhou Qing was about to stop the experiment and try to create an infrasound receiver when he suddenly felt dizzy and had a strong urge to vomit.

He was startled at first.

With his physical condition, he had long since gotten rid of the entanglement of natural illnesses, and he had not felt unwell for the past two and a half years.

Therefore, when he suddenly felt this discomfort, he was a little confused, but then he realized what had happened.

It must be the infrasound waves that are working in his body.

Infrasound at certain frequencies can cause harm to the human body, including hallucinations, dizziness, suffocation, and liver rupture.

Zhou Qing stopped vibrating the metal plate.

He was worried that he might accidentally hurt himself, which would be ridiculous.

This reminded him that sonic attacks are indiscriminate, and if he wanted to use this as a regular method, he first needed to invent a way to defend against sonic attacks.

This is somewhat like the idea that if you want to attack, you must first learn how to defend.

In any case, the initial test can be considered a success.

Zhou Qing began to arrange his next tasks.

First, he invented a device to receive and decipher infrasound signals. Then, he invented a code that could transmit information using infrasound, so that he could communicate freely with Wu Tao when the formation conference began.

Zhou Qing was busy when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door and found a woman dressed in mourning clothes standing outside.

The woman looked somewhat familiar. Zhou Qing thought for a moment before remembering that he had seen her at Elder Jin Mang's house before. She should be Wei Kuang's aunt.

Zhou Qing glanced to the side and, seeing that she was the only one there, asked in confusion, "How should I address you, Madam?"

The aunt said, "This young woman, Ji Qian, is the mistress of the second branch of the Wei family."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Now she is also the mistress of the Wei family."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Did Madam need something from me?"

Ji Qian said, "Mr. Zhou said that the Wei family should come to you to discuss the cooperation between the Wei family and you. I have come for this reason."

Zhou Qing stared at her for a moment and said, "Can you make the decisions for the Wei family?"

Ji Qian said, "My master has entrusted this matter to me."

Zhou Qing knew that the "master" she was referring to was her husband, Wei Huan.

After Wei Xing's death, Wei Huan took over the Wei family, so he could be called the master.

Zhou Qing understood immediately and asked, "Why doesn't he come himself?"

Ji Qian forced a smile and said, "Master has other matters to attend to and cannot leave, so he entrusted me to handle this."

Zhou Qing said, "I'm afraid it's not that you can't get away, but rather that you harbor resentment towards me, so you dare not face me?" Ji Qian quickly replied, "Sir, you are overthinking it..."

Zhou Qing waved his hand to interrupt her, saying, "Whether I'm overthinking it or not, you know yourself."

"Old Master Wei died suddenly, and the Wei family is in a period of turmoil. Cooperating with me can help you get through the current crisis quickly. This should be the most important thing for the Wei family right now. But Wei Huan said he can't get away. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Ji Qian said awkwardly, "It's the same whether I, a humble woman, talk to you, sir."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "It's different. As long as Wei Huan doesn't come in person, it means that your Wei family hasn't adopted the right attitude."

Ji Qian said, "The old man ultimately died at your hands. What you're saying, sir, about adjusting your attitude, isn't that asking the impossible?"

Zhou Qing said, "If this is your attitude, then we have nothing to talk about."

"Please come back."

Ji Qian was caught off guard by Zhou Qing's resolute refusal. She was caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward, and stood frozen in place for a moment.

Seeing her troubled expression, Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of Wei Kuang. He sighed and said, "I saw you back when I was with Elder Jinmang."

Ji Qian said, "I didn't expect that you would still remember me, sir."

Zhou Qing said, "Since you were here, you must be aware of how things have developed to this point."

“I had no intention of attacking your Wei family. It was your Wei family that first harbored murderous intent towards me, and then I suffered the backlash.”

“I have done nothing wrong to the Wei family; on the contrary, it is the Wei family that has wronged me.”

Zhou Qing paused slightly, stared at Ji Qian, and said, "If it weren't for Wei Kuang's sake, and my desire to prevent his family from declining and falling into ruin, no one in your Wei family would be qualified to speak to me as an equal."

“I’ve given you the chance. If you want peace, put this matter aside completely and let Wei Huan come and talk to me personally. If you don’t want peace, you can do whatever you want in the future. I’ve already issued an ultimatum, and I won’t let Wei Kuang down then.”

Ji Qian stood there for a while, then nodded and said, "I understand your intentions, sir. I will go back and discuss it with my master now."

After saying that, she turned and walked back.

Zhou Qing didn't take the matter to heart and continued his cultivation and research as usual.

Two days later, Wei Huan personally came to Ziyun Mountain and knocked on Zhou Qing's courtyard door.

Also accompanying them was Fang Zheng, the head of the Fang family.

The two met at the foot of Ziyun Mountain. After learning that they had the same goal, they went to Zhou Qing's house together.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Wei Huan still felt somewhat uneasy, but he still politely bowed to him, without becoming arrogant because he had become the head of the Wei family.

Fang Zheng was much more enthusiastic, saying, "I already know what you asked Yuhe to convey, sir. We are grateful for your kindness and the Fang family is willing to stand with you through thick and thin."

Zhou Qing smiled and gestured to the two men, inviting them into the house. They spent half a day discussing all the details of their future cooperation, including the monthly stock to be distributed to the two families' shops, the share that the shops would have to pay to Zhou Qing, and the personnel Zhou Qing would send to the two families.

Finally, Zhou Qing personally drafted the contract and handed it to the two family heads, who left their respective auras behind, thus officially concluding the cooperation between the two parties.

Zhou Qing kept the contract and saw the two family heads off.

Just as he was about to go back to writing code, Cheng Feipeng came to find him again.

His small workshop suddenly expanded, with the number of employees increasing two or three times, and naturally, miscellaneous tasks also increased accordingly.

Cheng Feipeng could handle some of these miscellaneous tasks himself, but there were many others that he had to consult Zhou Qing for instructions.

After Zhou Qing finished his business and sent Cheng Feipeng away, it was already evening.

He couldn't help but feel troubled. He seemed to have too many miscellaneous tasks on his mind, and if this continued, it would eventually affect his normal cultivation.
