Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

Chapter 130 Major Research Findings: The Upgrade Potential of Spiritual Objects!

Xiao Chi's appearance has indeed greatly improved Shenhuang's transportation convenience.

The distance of sixty kilometers would take about an hour for someone at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm to travel back and forth. Even with the Lightness Talisman and traveling at full speed, it would still take thirty to forty minutes.

And what about Xiao Chi?

It only took five minutes from departure to arrival!

It can basically run at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour in the jungle.

It was even faster than Xiao Yuan's flight speed when she had just undergone the first stage of mortal transformation.

Shen Huang was even starting to worry about energy issues.

After all, Xiao Chi is no longer using fuel at this moment, and at this speed, the energy consumption is undoubtedly very high.

But this still didn't cause many problems. Xiao Chi had six spirit-gathering arrays of various sizes integrated into her body. These spirit-gathering arrays had become a part of her, and they were constantly absorbing and refining spiritual energy during her journey.

Shen Huang was already looking forward to her performance after she grew up.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to check out the newly acquired Qiankun Bag.

"Master." Xiao Yin stretched out her mechanical hand and shook the Qiankun bag. "Reddish-purple, this looks like it was used by a girl."

of. "

"But they gave me a discount," Shen Huang said with a shrug and a smile. "They also said there was a small gift. Let's see what it is?"

"It's a magic weapon!" Xiao Yin took out a silver-white chain from inside. "It has spiritual energy, but it's not a spiritual object; it's just a simple magic weapon."

"The Yin family is a family of cultivators belonging to the Wanbao Immortal Sect, and they are indeed more skilled in crafting magical artifacts." Shen Huang's eyes brightened slightly; this was the first time he had ever seen magical artifacts in this world.

"This magic item is used to reduce the weight of the Qiankun Bag." Xiao Yin realized its use after only a brief study, and was overjoyed. "It can apply an upward force to the Qiankun Bag, so that it won't become too bulky after being filled with too many things."

Although the Qiankun Bag can only show about one-tenth of the weight of the items placed inside.

However, if it's a larger Qiankun bag and contains a lot of things, it will still be quite heavy.

For those who have transcended to the mortal realm, this weight is nothing, but it looks quite unsightly when worn.

Soft clothing is easily pulled down.

Clearly, this chain was prepared for this purpose; by carefully wrapping it around the Qiankun Bag, it can make the bag very, very light.

Unfortunately, this did not help Shen Huang much when he brought it to his home planet.

After all, the restriction on the items Shen Huang carries is said to be "weight," but it should actually be "mass."

The former fluctuates due to the influence of gravity, while the latter refers to the inherent properties of the object itself.

This chain only counteracts gravity to a certain extent.

Shen Huang didn't know why Xiao Yin was so happy, as if she had seen some incredible treasure.

Seeing that his owner hadn't reacted yet, Xiao Yin couldn't help but remind him: "The concept of reducing gravity, or rather this whole solution, is described in scientific terms as an anti-gravity system."

With a bang, Shen Huang's mouth dropped open.

Yup!

Flying is perfectly normal in the world of cultivation; any spiritual being can fly once it gains magical power.

So much so that he didn't even realize it.

However, when placed within the context of a technological system, specifically an anti-gravity system, the importance of this technology is simply unparalleled!

It represents the ability for human creations to truly escape the limitations of gravity, rather than relying solely on airflow and propulsion to achieve flight.

Its applications are so wide that it frequently appears in various science fiction works.

Flying cars, man-made spaceships, and even aircraft carriers!

Of course, the most important application scenario is not these new things, but the comprehensive and significant enhancement of existing flying objects.

Imagine if an airplane could break free from the constraints of gravity; it could instantly become a space shuttle!

The gate to the universe will be fully opened.

Traveling to the universe, to the moon, or even Mars and more distant places will become just like flying on our home planet, only with increased distance, without any limitations in difficulty!

It is no exaggeration to say that if the anti-gravity system could be used on a large scale, the impact on the human civilization of the home planet would be far greater than that of a mere humanoid AI robot.

However, after his initial anticipation, Shen Huang also considered a problem.

"If this is a system that requires the use of spiritual energy to operate, then it won't be easy to use."

Based on his current observations, many of the mysteries within the cultivation system are closely related to spiritual energy.

It could even be said that spiritual energy is the most fundamental source of rules for extraordinary power.

The reason why the mother planet is not extraordinary is because its spiritual energy is too thin.

"That depends on whether you need spiritual energy or magical power. From what I've observed so far, it should be possible to do either." Xiao Yin smiled broadly on the screen. "If it's just spiritual energy, it's not difficult at all. After all, we've already found a way to address the most difficult aspect: storing spiritual energy. This world should already have this technology."

In this world, although many things contain spiritual energy, there are actually not many "spirit stones" that appear most often in fantasy works.

Or rather, there are many kinds of spirit stones. All types of stone materials that contain spiritual energy are spirit stones, but they are not spirit stones specifically used to store spiritual energy in the conventional sense.

However, not having it doesn't mean it can't be made.

It can be created as long as the spiritual energy can be confined to a material that has a high capacity for spiritual energy.

It is equivalent to a "spiritual energy battery".

Even materials like spiritual rice, which can slowly release spiritual energy, can be used to make "bio-spiritual energy batteries".

With a stable energy output and an equally stable system, as Xiao Yin said, it's really not difficult to use this kind of thing efficiently.

Moreover, it's highly likely that it already exists in this world.

Since we have flying swords, it wouldn't be difficult to realize flying shuttles, spaceships, and the like.

However, even if the technology is not difficult, the home planet still has an advantage that is hard for this world to match in terms of application.

Moreover, the home planet is not as dangerous as the high altitude of this world.

Shen Huang then thought of another very important question.

"The Spirit Control Technique states that the difficulty of awakening a magical artifact's spirit is significantly increased because its own spiritual energy interferes with the invasion of the gray mist. However, even mortal objects can be continuously modified using refining techniques after the spirit awakening is complete."

"Upgrades—could we add formations like these, or even the spirit-gathering formation Xiao Chi used, to your formations?"

That's right, upgrading and modifying spirit creatures is a big problem.

This is why, although magical artifacts exist in this world, a significant number of spirit masters still use ordinary objects to awaken their spirits.

Even those scions of noble families and the pride of their clans only choose certain special spiritual materials and do not carry out too much forging and processing at the beginning.

Like Yin Yueshu's emerald green short sword, it was made of extraordinary materials.

However, after being awakened, it can be forged in the same way as when crafting magical artifacts.

Instead of refining spiritual materials like consuming elixirs, the process involves integrating the materials into the body and inscribing talismans and formations during the process.

If you have the capability, use superior materials, and it might even improve the quality!

This is why the status of weapon refiners has skyrocketed in this era.

It was time for Shen Huang to start thinking about this issue.

It cannot be that newly awakened spirits become more and more powerful, while the original spirits are gradually eliminated in terms of function and ability.

However, Shen Huang did not expect that as soon as the topic was brought up, Xiao Yin immediately gave him a big surprise.

"In this regard, Master, I've actually been experimenting ever since I received the weapon-refining inheritance," Xiao Yin said with a grin. "We've already achieved some very significant initial results, and we're close to success!"

"What kind of experiment?" Shen Huang's attention was immediately drawn to it.

If Xiao Yin describes a research result as "extremely significant," then it truly is "extremely significant"!

"Master, please take a look at my parameters." Xiao Yin directly opened her management interface and displayed all the performance parameters.

Shen Huang only glanced at it briefly before immediately noticing the problem.

"Xiao Yin... your hard drive capacity has increased by 8TB?" Shen Huang's eyes widened. "You added another hard drive for yourself?"

"It's a permanent addition," Xiao Yin replied affirmatively. "Initially, it was just a temporary addition, like connecting an external hard drive. The newly added hard drive was still just an ordinary object. However, I began to try to establish a deeper connection, using spiritual energy..."

My soul, and even my magical power, have been constantly imbued with this essence—this part belongs to the art of weapon crafting—and now, I am close to success. This hard drive is about to become a part of me!

"This is amazing!" Shen Huang was immediately excited.

He naturally understood what this meant.

This means that Xiao Yin and the others can enhance their abilities not only in the realm of cultivation but also through magical artifacts.

This means that various formations, talismans, and spiritual materials can be continuously added.

Furthermore, it can also be rapidly enhanced at the technological level!

It's important to understand that even after undergoing the most extensive modifications, Xiao Yin's computing power is still far from reaching the pinnacle of human civilization.

After all, no matter how many features are added, it's still just a personal computer.

Even if it can surpass the supercomputers of ten years ago, it is still far inferior to the supercomputers of today.

The difference in size is obvious.

Especially nowadays, AI training servers are made up of countless chips stacked together to form a matrix!

For example, the supercomputers deployed and used for research in the new base, even if they only contain Xiao Yin's data clones, have computing power that far exceeds Xiao Yin's by many orders of magnitude.

For complex calculations that do not involve supernatural powers, Xiao Yin would transfer the task to the clone on the home planet through Shen Huang.

In this situation, once the transportation capacity improves, won't we still need to activate the supercomputer?

Just like how Xiao Wan initially conducted some research, but now Xiao Yin has basically replaced her in this area, what if we replace Xiao Yin's current researcher status with an even more powerful supercomputer spirit?

Shen Huang was unwilling emotionally, but in reality, he might have to accept it because of his needs.

It's not just Xiao Yin.

After the flying car appeared, will the awakened spirit be stronger than Xiao Chi at that time?

Like some 2D anime games, should you be a power player, constantly eliminating characters that aren't strong enough, or a bond player, going to great lengths to strengthen your initial cards that are inherently weak?

Shen Huang didn't want to think about this problem, but he knew in his heart that if it couldn't be solved, he would have to face it sooner or later.

But now, according to Xiao Yin, she is able to continuously add "hardware" to herself!

That solves everything!

"That's great, Xiao Yin." Shen Huang gripped Xiao Yin's mechanical hand tightly. At this moment, he felt incredibly relaxed, as if a large stone that he could temporarily ignore but could not put down had been lifted.

A high degree of alignment between emotions and interests is obviously much easier than having disagreements.

Xiao Yin understood her master's feelings, and a relaxed and happy smile appeared on her face.

"Right now, the available space is a problem, since our bodies can't hold too much. However, thanks to the spatial abilities bestowed upon us by our master, this should be the biggest problem, but it's no longer a problem," Xiao Yin continued to explain. "I'm researching how to separate a portion of the storage space and integrate it with the body to expand it. This way, we can fit as many additional hardware items as we need. The only downside is that the process of refining and fusing them one by one will consume a lot of spiritual materials and essence."

With Xiao Yin's explanation, Shen Huang gained a general understanding of the matter.

First, there's the issue of consumption.

Adding new hardware and integrating it into the body—there are only two key points.

One aspect is enhancement, which requires ensuring that the essence contained in the new hardware keeps pace with the main body.

This is like giving a superhuman an organ transplanted from a mortal; it works, but that part definitely needs to be retrained.

The second key point is integration.

This part is relatively more troublesome. It's not so easy to do for normal spiritual objects; otherwise, weapon refiners wouldn't be so rare.

Even if Xiao Yin has the talent of a weapon refiner, not all spiritual objects possess it.

However, if the added hardware is something that could have been added as an external hardware device in the first place, then it is much simpler.

First, treat it as an external physical entity and introduce it into the application of thought, then slowly integrate it with the soul, essence, and the visualization of the weapon refiner.

The only limitation is that it must be usable.

In other words, Xiaowan, as a mobile phone, cannot directly incorporate chips that belong to computers because of their different architectures.

Computer chips use the 86 architecture, which is a complex instruction set CISC, while mobile phone chips use the ARM architecture, which is a reduced instruction set RISC. The underlying languages ​​of the two are completely different, and the program ecosystems are even more so. They cannot be directly recognized and executed unless the calling program is changed and a translation layer is added, but that would bring a huge performance loss.
