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

Chapter 85 The Core Advantages of a Nation (Seeking First Subscriptions)

However, while most people were excited about this possibility, some people stepped forward and pointed out areas that should be paid special attention to.

This person is in charge of a branch project under the strategic analysis department, called the interpersonal relationship analysis department.

This branch team was only recently created after being refined, and its purpose is to help Shen Huang handle various interpersonal relationships in the other world.

This is also very important.

Shen Huang's current situation is closely related to Yin Kongtian. Moreover, in order to establish himself in the Immortal Dynasty, the management of various interpersonal relationships and even interest relationships is very important.

This is something that must be taken seriously when dealing with powerful forces.

At this moment, Xu Hui, the person in charge of the relevant field, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, stood up and said with a smile: "President Shen, this is our first meeting. Normally, I should leave a good impression on you, after all, you will be my important leader in the future. But unfortunately, due to my duties, I can only cool things down for everyone first."

Xu Hui's temperament was clearly different from Zhou Yu's. Although his hair was already gray, his clothes were always impeccably groomed.

Moreover, it's clear that he was absolutely handsome and refined in his youth, and even now, he still possesses a remarkable presence.

It makes people feel close to it.

Although they talked about cooling down, it didn't make people feel disgusted at all; instead, it made them even more expectant.

"Please speak," Shen Huang typed.

"First of all, we should reach a consensus." Xu Hui spoke slowly but methodically. "The various weapons that Chairman Shen has shown in the other world actually have considerable value in that world. They are weapons that allow people to easily achieve a counterattack against a higher level. This should break the common understanding of the other world society."

indeed so!

Shen Huang couldn't help but agree.

The reaction of the demonic villain at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, whom he killed in front of him, showed that the villain did not think that a mere first-level Transcendent Realm cultivator could pose any threat to him.

Even the most talented individuals who successfully cultivate the "True Scripture of the Myriad Transformations Star Pivot" are not exempt.

Furthermore, the extremely strict hierarchical system in this other world also fully illustrates this point.

One can become a pavilion chief at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, a township chief at the fourth level, and a town chief at the seventh level.

There are even very distinct differences in status between the second and first floors, and between the third and second floors.

One's level of spiritual cultivation determines one's social standing! It directly impacts every aspect of life.

If cultivators could freely commit rebellion, then such a strict hierarchical system could not have formed in this other world.

However, Shen Huang did it, and not by virtue of his own strength, realm, or talent, but by using some weapons that seemed to be usable by ordinary people!

"That's true," Shen Huang typed back. "However, the origin of these weapons can actually be explained. After all, I am a special outsider with a special identity. Even when I was just an ordinary person, I had already shown extraordinary qualities."

"Yes, the origin of the weapon itself can be explained." Xu Hui nodded in agreement, then smiled slightly and said in his usual slow tone, "However, being able to explain it doesn't mean it's worthless or won't attract the attention of powerful individuals."

"6

Shen Huang fell silent and pondered.

Xu Hui continued, "The reason we haven't been targeted yet is simply because the strongest person you've come into contact with right now, Chairman Shen, is Yin Kongtian, and Yin Kongtian is actually quite special."

At this, many people nodded slightly.

Yin Kongtian is indeed different.

"First, Yin Kongtian doesn't have much desire or ambition to develop the sanctuary. He doesn't believe he can establish an advantage in this area, which means he doesn't have a high demand for these weapons." Xu Hui practically broke down the logic before explaining it. "Second, Yin Kongtian needs your help. He hopes that when you reach a higher level, you can repay him. So, although he is more powerful, he is actually subordinate to you, Chairman Shen. Under these two conditions, he can ignore and not delve into the benefits represented by these weapons."

Shen Huang did understand.

And he had to admit that Xu Hui was absolutely right.

Although Yin Kongtian was stronger, he was actually somewhat "humble" in front of him.

They not only provided cultivation techniques and elixirs, but also went to great lengths in some details.

For example, he was always concerned about Shen Huang's safety, and even when he was about to face the enemy, he did not forget to leave behind a magical artifact to protect Shen Huang's safety.

For example, not only did they help him check for any potential dangers in the Qiankun Bag, but they also didn't touch anything inside.

Even when the village was in danger, he still answered his questions about the Qiankun Bag in detail.

All these actions have actually placed her own status below Shen Huang's.

This is a manifestation of needing something from someone.

However, it's impossible for every powerful opponent you encounter later to be like Yin Kongtian.

And the value of these weapons speaks for itself.

"Then what should I do?" Shen Huang frowned slightly, already sensing a potential crisis.

"President Shen, there's no need to worry too much."

Xu Hui smiled slightly, first offering a word of comfort, and then explaining his reasoning: "So far, the weapons that Chairman Shen has shown are only useful to those in the Transcendent Realm. They certainly have some value, but not that much. Under these circumstances, even if we were to reveal the manufacturing principles of some weapons, it wouldn't matter much. They're just technology from the last century, not our core advantage. Besides, even if we don't reveal them, the principles behind those bombs and firearms are actually very simple. The reason why other worlds don't have them is simply because their social system and cultivation power suppress the wisdom of mortals. But if we had the means to study them, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain them."

Show us the technology?

Shen Huang was taken aback at first, clearly surprised, but he quickly came to his senses after hearing Xu Hui's words.

Indeed!

Whether it's firearms or bombs, their core technology is simply gunpowder.

It already existed in the last century, so it's really not that difficult.

The reason why there are no cultivation-themed fantasy worlds at present is, as Xu Hui said, that the powerful cultivation forces and the strict hierarchical social system, where mortals have no status or dignity, together suppress the wisdom of mortals.

Let alone explosives, not even some production tools that existed in ancient times on our home planet were seen in this other world, at least in this village.

This is not surprising.

Our home planet's civilization developed for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the modern era that its technology began to develop explosively.

However, once inspired, it might not be so difficult for cultivators who have lived for countless years to obtain it after a little research.

In this situation, exchanging some technology for peace of mind, or even for substantial profits, is not considered a loss.

"We've discussed this before," Zhou Yu said, raising his hand. "In the face of the cultivation fantasy world, the core advantages of our civilization are mainly concentrated in four aspects. First, a powerful and complete industrial capability."

Second, we possess numerous cutting-edge technologies, including information technology, that truly have high barriers to entry; third, we have strong research capabilities; and fourth, the presence of Chairman Shen allows us to take the initiative in the process of technological complementarity with the other world.

Shen Huang noticed that Zhou Yu's expression remained calm from the moment Xu Hui spoke.

Clearly, they have probably already discussed this internally.

However, these things are indeed very important.

It is essential to clearly define one's core strengths and core interests, knowing what must be held onto and what can be used to divert attention and gain benefits.

Moreover, Shen Huang had already understood why Xu Hui stood up and said those things when they were discussing nuclear weapons.

"So, nuclear weapons shouldn't be used lightly?" he typed.

"That's right." Xu Hui nodded slightly, emphasizing, "Nuclear weapons, as the ultimate weapon of human civilization, should not be considered something that can be traded. Moreover, their power is not merely comparable to the Transcendent Realm. Under such circumstances, easy use might incite even higher levels of greed, leading to interpersonal crises. We cannot simply hand over nuclear technology like we could with gunpowder technology; that would be a huge technological loss."

This is what Xu Hui wanted to say.

From an interpersonal perspective, the exposure of nuclear weapons would likely have serious consequences.

With all that groundwork laid, everyone can accept this.

This includes Shen Huang.

"In that case, nuclear weapons can only serve as the ultimate safety trump card." Although Shen Huang was somewhat disappointed, he quickly cheered up. "It doesn't mean that they can't be used openly, but that doesn't mean they can't be used covertly. As long as we can erase the traces as much as possible, it will be fine. Moreover, in any case, with this trump card, our security will have an ultimate guarantee."

"Yes," Xu Hui said with a smile, "No matter what the consequences are, nothing is more important than life, so if you can bring it, you should definitely bring it."

Moreover, everyone understands.

The reason we can't use him easily right now is simply because Shen Huang's realm, strength, status, and influence are too low.

That may not be the case in the future.

"Then let's leave the nuclear weapons issue at that for now." Old Li stood up and continued to chair the meeting. "Once Chairman Shen has recovered his composure, we'll go and try to see if he can carry them. Now let's move on to the next topic. Since we've decided to focus on offensive defense as the main defensive strategy, conventional weapons are also a key area."

He paused, glancing at the large screen, before continuing, a slight sigh in his voice: "I don't know if you felt any surprise looking at these battle results, thinking our weapons could crush the cultivators of the other world, that even talismans couldn't withstand them. But when I saw them, I felt terrified. Xiao Yuan used large-caliber armor-piercing rounds. Although technically classified as micro-weapons, their actual power is close to anti-material weaponry. Tell me, how many more powerful individual weapons do we have? And what about the other world, where are there even more powerful Spirit Masters?"

Everyone present fell silent for a moment, especially the weapons experts and military experts.

This is indeed a thought-provoking question, and even one that can evoke a sense of dread.

After all, the Transcendent Realm is most likely just the lowest level in the cultivation system.

The talisman was pierced by the armor-piercing bullet, but it should also be noted that the armor-piercing bullet, which should have easily shattered the head like popping a balloon, did not actually achieve that effect.

This is more like a barely penetrating kill.

If the power of the bullet is accurately calculated based on the video content, the effect of such a thin amulet would likely be astonishing.

However, Mr. Li's words were not intended to increase anxiety.

Rather, it was to raise the question and find a solution.

Soon, a weapons expert stood up and said, "I believe that weapons technology must be developed as soon as possible. I have two ideas in this regard. First, we should integrate our existing technologies to make them more suitable for Xiaoyuan. Second, we should start from the cultivation system, such as Qi cultivation, talismans, and spiritual objects, to achieve the effect of rapidly enhancing the power and variety of weapons through another system."

""

Many people subsequently joined the discussion.

It's not just the weapons department, but also includes other related research departments.

For example, the Department of Reiki Research, the Department of Otherworldly Creatures Research, the Department of Otherworldly Plants Research, and so on.

Shen Huang didn't interrupt, but he listened with great interest, becoming more and more expectant as he listened.

For example, some experts have pointed out that Xiao Yuan can precisely control other military drones that are not spirit objects, and achieve flexible and versatile drone matrix operations with a single spirit object.

For example, based on Xiao Yuan's wind attribute characteristics, a brand-new mechanical model was designed to maximize the bullet's power.

The core idea is to combine the cultivation system to achieve rapid improvement.

Many of his ideas broadened Shen Huang's horizons.

I just felt that those evil bastards from the demonic sects didn't seem so scary after all.

However, all of these weapon upgrade options are related to one important point—carrying weight!

Therefore, after realizing that his mind had recovered, Shen Huang told Elder Li and immediately returned to the biochemical laboratory.

Many researchers wearing white lab coats had already gathered there.

And all sorts of instruments and equipment were prepared.

The most numerous items were not space-related research equipment, since that area is still largely unexplored, and no one expected that Shen Huang would be able to bring back a space storage device this time.

Those gathered here at this moment are mostly researchers from biological research departments.

After hearing that a Spirit Master's corpse had arrived, and that it was a third-level Spirit Master's corpse at that, they couldn't wait any longer and came here to wait.

Even between them, it seemed as if sparks were flying.

Even within the same department, there are different research projects!

One mortal sample might not even be enough to divide among.

Seeing this, Shen Huang smiled slightly and typed on his personal terminal fixed to the observation room, "This one is just to test whether we can bring it back. I still have the corpse of a villain from the Demonic Sect at the fourth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm."

In an instant, Shen Huang could clearly hear the researchers breathing faster and heavier!
