Chapter 113 External Circulation Ancient Dragon Current System

Rose had already conceived the idea of ​​a nutrient pod in his mind; the next step was to verify the feasibility of this idea.

First, is his idea of ​​absorbing nutrients through external Gu Long electric current feasible?

Rose leaned back in the chair on the ground and entered a state of deep ancient dragon meditation, after which she lost consciousness.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness and floating washed over her, accompanied by faint thunder and roars in her ears, and Rose's consciousness once again descended into that pure white space.

The stone tablet, which was transformed from the fifteenth Gu Long, still stands there quietly.

Rose walked confidently toward the enormous dream library and arrived at the table used for "learning" and "retrieval".

He placed his fingers on the table, and with a thought, began searching through the vast knowledge base of Gu Long believers.

Keywords: "in vitro absorption", "conversion of high-energy nutrient solution", "utilization of Gulong current".

As the search command was issued, several thick, ancient, and fantastical books materialized on the table.

Rose skillfully turned the time acceleration knob to the optimal rate her body could currently withstand, 3.4 times, and, enduring the dizziness caused by the momentary dislocation of her soul and body, began to flip through the pages at lightning speed.

With ten times the learning efficiency, Ross quickly extracted what he needed from these ancient books.

For example, there is a book called "Internal and External Circulation: The External Extension and Energy Absorption Mechanism of Gulong Current".

This book almost perfectly met Rose's requirements, as it contained the theoretical basis Rose needed on how to release the ancient dragon current into the body and absorb nutrients.

However, when Rossel excitedly opened the book to look through it, he found that he couldn't understand it.

Although the achievements and techniques in this book are indeed within the scope of knowledge of "The Shining Ancient Dragon Believer".

However, the problem is that it requires some knowledge and theory from the "Ancient Dragon Believers of Glimmering Light" as a prerequisite.

Rose had absolutely no knowledge of the ancient dragon followers.

When he was a follower of the Ancient Dragon, the prayers he mastered were all directly learned by the Ancient Dragon through the power of the gods, allowing his body to directly learn these prayers.

That is to say, these divine arts and prayers were directly engraved into his body.

Then, utilizing the affinity brought by the wisp of real ancient dragon current with a rank of six within Rose's soul, it can be unleashed once the body learns it.

Because, in essence, the divine prayers of the ancient dragon believers are an imitation of the ancient dragon as a creature.

Now, the Ancient Dragon is dead. Part of its body has become the path of Rose, while another part of its body resides above the gods, assisting in suppressing them without the knowledge of the mages.

No one will pray for him to have the magic of the Ancient Dragon Cult imprinted on his body anymore; he will have to learn it himself.

Because the system of Ancient Dragon followers is similar to that of the magic side, it is not a system where power is directly bestowed by gods, but rather one that requires people to learn and can be passed down from generation to generation.

This is both the advantage and the disadvantage of this replicable superpower system.

Therefore, if Rose wants to continue on the path of being a follower of Gu Long, he needs to fill in this gap in his foundation.

Rose fell silent for a moment. Having run out of options, she decided to learn.

Since Rose is essentially a believer, improving his stats requires focusing on matters related to faith.

This can be considered a price to pay. While he is immune to the Magic Federation's systematic attacks, he is also unable to advance using conventional magical methods, such as meditation or brain development surgery that Rose knows about.

In this world where magic reigns supreme, Rose must find a different path to grow.

For the next two weeks, Rose began to live a regular life.

Aside from picking up and dropping off Tiana, cooking, and doing some necessary interactions and getting to know her, he spends his days studying in the basement.

Two full weeks later, Rose finally completed the theoretical foundation of the "Ancient Dragon Followers of the Glimmering Light".

Fortunately, Rose had already mastered most of the divine spells and prayers of the Ancient Dragon Followers of Glimmer, which was equivalent to working backward from "knowing what" to "why," making it much easier than learning from scratch.

He roughly understood the methods of the Ancient Dragon believers' faith, and how the Ancient Dragon currents within his body circulated.

Ancient Dragon devotees refer to this current circulating and flowing within the body as the "internal circulation of Ancient Dragon current."

It's a bit like the spiritual energy flowing and permeating the meridians in cultivation novels.

However, the spiritual power was replaced with electric current.

The "Ancient Dragon Meditation" is essentially the cultivation method for Ancient Dragon believers, the most fundamental of all cultivation methods.

【Vitality Inner Flow】 stimulates the ancient dragon current in the body to the extreme, temporarily improving physical fitness and creating a burst effect.

The method that Rose wanted to achieve—drawing energy from outside the body and then using it for his own purposes—required the establishment of an "external circulation of the Ancient Dragon Current."

This external circulation is precisely the power that Rose is now beginning to master as the [Shining Ancient Dragon Follower].

Many of the divine spells and prayers in the 【Radiant Ancient Dragon Follower】are designed for external circulation, such as 【Dragon Thunder Blessing】.

He pulled out the book "Internal and External Circulation: The External Extension and Energy Absorption Mechanism of Gu Long Current" and opened it again.

This time, thanks to his prior knowledge, he was able to understand it.

Rose spent a day, or three and a half days in the dream, to have almost finished studying the book.

The method Rose imagined for nutrient absorption using external electrical currents is a relatively advanced technique in external circulation.

A relatively simple technique is [Dragon Thunder Protection], which directly applies electric current to the body as if [transforming into a cloud shape]. By utilizing this current surrounding the body, one can improve physical fitness and enhance other ancient dragon believer's divine prayers.

This also shows the fundamental difference between the magic system and the belief system.

Although both are extraordinary systems that can be replicated and learned by everyone, the magic system originates from the outside, such as "transforming into a cloud shape," which gathers external wind power and enhances the body.

A belief system originates from within; for example, the "Dragon Thunder Blessing" allows the ancient dragon currents existing within the body to circulate and be controlled externally.

Rose exited the dream space and opened her eyes in the dimly lit basement, her gilded vertical pupils radiating light.

He stretched out a hand and, using the external circulation control method recorded in the book, summoned the current existing in his body. Fine, pale golden arcs of electricity instantly overflowed from his body surface, like a layer of light lightning veil clinging to his skin, resonating with the ancient dragon current within his body to form an internal and external circulation.

"?"

Rose was somewhat surprised. This was it?

Once you understand the principle, you can simply reach out and do it, based on that principle.

Rose remembered what the Ancient Dragon had told him before: the Ancient Dragon current within his soul had a strong enhancing effect on the use and study of divine magic and prayer related to Ancient Dragon faith.

But I didn't expect the blessing effect to be so strong.

Could it be that I really am a genius?

A small fortune doesn't count as a fortune; he certainly didn't die from electrocution in his past life.

Then, Rose opened a can, placed his hand on it, and carefully extended the ancient dragon current attached to his palm into the can.

Golden arcs of electricity danced across the surface of the meat, emitting a soft "sizzling" sound.

He began experimenting with using external circulation to break down these foods.

The electric current penetrates the fibers of the meat, breaking down the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into the most basic energy units.

The decomposed energy is captured by the external circulation, flows back to Rose's palm along the path of the electric current, and then seeps into her body through the skin.

The whole process lasted about 2 minutes.

The meat chunks in the can had shrunk, and their surfaces had become dry and grayish, as if they had been dried for a long time.

Rose withdrew her hand, feeling the new energy flowing into her body.

Minimal.

The energy released in those two minutes is roughly equivalent to one-tenth of the energy he would have used to eat the meat.

Well, first of all, it can be confirmed that this method of using electric current to decompose food does not conform to the physics of my previous life.

According to the accounts of ancient dragon devotees, this was likely achieved by utilizing the extraordinary properties of the ancient dragon's electric current.

Rose wrote down the data on a piece of scrap paper, then took another can and tried it again in the same way.

This time, he adjusted the path of the external circulation, allowing the current to form a tighter mesh structure in the palm.

One minute later, the meat in the can had shrunk by almost half.

The absorption efficiency has doubled.

Rose wrote down the new data in her notebook, then picked up the third can.

An hour later, there were more than a dozen empty cans piled on the table in front of Rose.

In that hour, he repeatedly tested, recorded, and adjusted, optimizing the outer loop path more than a dozen times.

The current efficiency is nearly five times higher than before, and it only takes about 30 seconds to break down a can of food, absorbing about one-third of the energy that would be consumed directly.

The losses were still significant, but at least it proved the feasibility of this direction.

Currently, absorption efficiency has reached its limit. We can improve absorption efficiency by increasing the nutrient density of food, such as by preparing high-energy nutrient solutions.

This necessitates a nutrient tank, which Rose envisions should have at least three basic functions:

1. Nutrient solution circulation: The nutrient solution must be flowing.

Still liquids can cause a low-concentration zone to form after nutrients close to the skin are absorbed.

The circulatory system ensures that Rose's body surface is always in contact with the highest concentration of nutrient solution.

This ensures that Rose always maintains maximum absorption efficiency.

2. It can prevent the energy in the nutrient tank from dissipating.

3. It has the functions of supplying and detecting nutrients, and monitoring the nutrient concentration in the nutrient chamber.

However, the problem is that Rose currently lacks the technical capabilities to meet the standards.

In the Dream Library, Gu Long's followers did indeed make related attempts and designs.

However, the nutrient chambers they designed were very characteristic of their time.

It is almost entirely based on the industrial system of the Gu Long believers.

It was made using machines powered by the ancient dragon's electric current, somewhat similar to the industrial system of the electrical age in my previous life.

The problem is, in this age where magic reigns supreme, Rose simply can't conjure this thing.

Therefore, Rose needs to use magician methods to achieve this, and this nutrient capsule involves Rose's core secrets, which means that it is almost impossible for Rose to outsource the design and production.

Therefore, Rose also needs to learn some magical knowledge, such as alchemical engineering, rune machine manufacturing, and so on.

Rose turned her gaze to the two second-hand alchemy machines on the worktable, which she had bought from an illegal clinic.

The magical technology in this world is actually quite advanced.

Just like Joel's memory metal car that can be driven by reason, and this alchemy machine whose speed can be finely adjusted by reason.

Therefore, it is certain that the mage's rune system is more than enough for Rose to create a nutrient tank.

However, Rose still needs to learn. For example, he knows how to use the machines bought from the illegal clinic, but he doesn't know how to disassemble and reassemble them, let alone how to inscribe the underlying runes that control the circulation of the liquid.

"It seems I need to pursue further studies."

Rose thought to himself that although his idea was good, it actually seemed that making the nutrient capsule would be a long process and he still needed to do a lot of preparation.

But thinking about it another way, I'm only six years old now, so I have plenty of time.

Actually, at the moment, Rose isn't in a hurry to immediately create the nutrient capsule; she can take it one step at a time.

First, knead out a high-energy concentrated nutrient paste, and use this to prolong your time in the dream state.

Then, by utilizing the extended dream time, they developed a nutrient pod.

Actually, Rose doesn't really need this right now.

Because the faith side and the magic side are similar, growth is related to age.

The schools in the Magic Federation almost never offer magic courses below high school level, because they want to wait until the brain has developed naturally and the mind is fully formed before developing the brain.

Similarly, on the faith side, generally speaking, one only begins physical development and strengthens one's faith when one's body begins to develop rapidly.

Therefore, Rose only needs to create this nutrient capsule during puberty, when the body's development is fastest.

Then, by utilizing the nutrient capsule for rapid development, their physical fitness and faith can be quickly raised to a high level within a few years.

Rose rubbed his temples. He decided to first prepare the 20 bottles of [Silent Thunder] needed for the next gathering.

These 20 bottles may seem like a lot, but they are actually very simple for Rose.

Rose's biggest advantage over other magicians is that he has a lot of focus and a very fast recovery speed.

A good night's sleep will restore your focus.

It took about a day to neatly arrange 20 bottles of "Silent Thunder" on the table.

With more than a month to go before the gathering, Rose decided not to rush to borrow books on magic, as they were quite expensive.

Rose doesn't have much money left. These days, Rose's research and development have involved almost unrestrained consumption of food, with little regard for the cost of money.

Although she could manage for another two months without any problem, Rose still needed to keep some money for emergencies, and with winter approaching, she needed to buy some firewood to keep warm.

I don't care about myself, but Tiana can't.

Once the money from selling [Silent Thunder] at the next gathering arrives, I'll learn new magic-related knowledge.

So, for the next month or so, Rose spent her time in the Dream Library studying the knowledge related to the [Shining Ancient Dragon Faith].

And learn about the application of some wonderful ancient dragon beliefs.

Time flies, and soon it was time for the next gathering.

Rose will not be able to go to the party with the medicine this time.

He prepared a box, packed the medicine into it, asked Tiana for leave in advance, and then carried the box to the party.
