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

Indeed, Shen Huang didn't need to hesitate much among the three options; he mainly considered the third one.

The first and biggest benefit is power, but since everyone is cultivating immortality, the allure of power is actually not that great for an individual, especially since there are many restrictions to bear.

Secondly, while it may seem like freedom, it also means rejecting responsibility and refusing to deepen the relationship. Moreover, Shen Huang can currently gain status and influence because of his irreplaceable nature, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. If the two worlds can truly be connected, or even if the spatial channel can be fixed, and he still maintains this distant relationship, then his irreplaceable nature will inevitably be affected.

This means that Shen Huang has no written authority or responsibility towards anyone in the base; he will always be a "stranger" with a special status within the base.

The third option, in Shen Huang's opinion, is the most suitable. Although he is currently in another world and cannot return, it is not easy for him to create a force that truly belongs to him. However, he does not need to rush to create one; he only needs to occupy a nominal position for now.

The document also explains this situation very clearly, which means that before Shen Huang deems the conditions suitable, this option is only a nominal change compared to the second option, and on this basis, it gains some procedural power.

It's not about him immediately creating his own power base, but rather setting a general direction and taking the opportunity to resolve some current regulatory issues.

For example, he could first have some people and resources within the base join the association, and then directly mobilize them in the name of the association. In this way, he would not need to obtain Mr. Li's consent in terms of procedure, and could also avoid the procedural problem of "issuing orders without official authority".

Having made his decision, Shen Huang did not hesitate any longer.

"I choose the third option," he typed in the terminal. "However, I hope to slow down the construction of the association. In the early stages, the base will help me build the basic procedural structure, and I will simply acquire power and fulfill obligations in name only."

"No problem." Old Li smiled. "President Shen, it seems we'll be interacting in a new capacity."

"It's just a slight difference in name and procedure," Shen Huang said with a smile, not caring at all.

As he said, now is not the time to truly establish his own power base.

At the very least, we must wait until he can return to his home planet, when the two worlds are truly connected.

Although he didn't know how long it would take, the thought of that day made even Shen Huang feel a bit more excited.

While venturing, adventuring, cultivating, and becoming stronger in another world can certainly satisfy his pursuit of extraordinary power, returning home in glory, or even personally changing civilization, is equally something to aspire to.

Then, Mr. Li raised another very important matter.

The direction of mobile phone modification.

Currently, the modification plan for Shen Huang's mobile phone has been initially finalized. Essentially, it aims to maximize the performance of the phone under the Qi Ling rules.

However, given the limited weight, this improvement still requires a certain directional choice.

Is it more powerful in terms of computing power, or has a larger capacity?

Is it more memory or a stronger battery?

The programming also requires selection. For example, which programs need to be added, especially in the area of ​​AI? Should we add new AI or enhance the existing AI version?

Relevant experts can offer advice, but only Shen Huang can make a decision when the experts are unclear about the practical application.

Shen Huang didn't hesitate for long.

"Enhancing performance is fine. As for the program, especially the operating system and software, there's no need for major changes. Keep it as familiar as possible. There's no need to add AI either. I've used the built-in AI quite a bit, so it might have some memories. Anyway, if there's a real need, it's not impossible to modify or add to it after activation."

That's right. Judging from the introduction of the Spirit Control Technique, the core purpose of the modifications before Spirit Awakening is not actually to increase power.

Rather, it increases the possibility of improving its quality.

Therefore, even if the original battery has degraded to the point of being unusable, the modification plan will not replace it.

It simply involves adding a solid-state battery produced in a laboratory.

Programs and systems, of course, cannot be changed arbitrarily.

Shen Huang hoped that he would get the phone he was familiar with.

This is the key to awakening the spirit; everything else, while important, is essentially just icing on the cake.

"I understand." Old Li nodded slightly, and a hint of expectation appeared on his not-yet-old face. "For this renovation, we mobilized hundreds of top industry experts and nearly a thousand engineers to provide support. We gathered the world's best components and achieved perfection in just three days. I don't know if it can understand our efforts."

"I believe it can," Shen Huang typed, not as a polite remark, but out of genuine feeling.

Now, neither Shen Huang nor Old Li regard their cell phones as inanimate objects anymore.

It's not even comparable to ordinary pets.

This was entirely a subconscious act, which is enough to show that they are rapidly adapting to the new rules of the supernatural realm.

Afterwards, Shen Huang, carrying the necessary equipment, withdrew his consciousness back into his body.

For the next few days, Shen Huang stayed in his room and did not step out.

But they did actually do a lot of things.

He basically memorized the process of the Spirit Control Technique and also gained some experience in cultivating the technique. At the same time, he also verified the safety of the Spirit Rice from He Ye's guards and from the experiments on the home planet, and made some attempts.

He can consume more than three hundred grains of spirit rice a day, which far exceeds the limits of ordinary mortals.

But because of this, he felt a sense of "spiritual satiety".

It was as if his body was completely filled with spiritual energy, but even though this pure spiritual energy was constantly improving his body, the efficiency was far from enough.

It can be said that he was fully prepared to become an extraordinary person!

On the third day, he returned to his home planet with his cell phone, preparing to take the final step.

—Transformation!

The modification plan had already been finalized, the internal programs had been modified, and the tests had been conducted on twenty other mobile phones of the same model, all of which were adjusted to their optimal state.

After discussion and analysis by experts, everyone agreed that the final assembly should be completed by Shen Huang himself.

This is also mentioned in the jade slip.

If a cultivator possesses the skills and talent for refining artifacts, there is a certain probability that they will improve the quality of the spiritual objects they have personally modified.

Now, all the designs are complete; it's just a matter of assembling them.

With expert guidance and Shen Huang's control being a conscious entity, the difficulty is even lower, and there are basically no problems.

So, after a full hour and a half, Shen Huang carefully assembled and modified his phone, one component after another.

At this point, all preparations for the spirit awakening are complete!
