Chapter 31 Chen Hong's Inscription Technology! [Please read on! Please vote!]

In the Baiyun mining area, Chen Hong finally compensated Hu Liena with his Ironclad Soul Truck, and at the same time sold himself for a good price.

The Soul Engine is still the same first-generation Soul Engine. Although it overturned the wooden cart a few days ago, it is made of metal and was carefully protected by Chen Lin, so there were no problems.

Hu Liena decided to drive the armored soul-powered freight car, equipped with the first soul-powered machine on the mainland, back to Wuhun City. She also took some high-quality ores temporarily mined from Baiyun Mine back with her as a perfect ending to her 'gilded' journey.

However, to Hu Liena's slight regret, Chen Hong did not agree to return to Wuhun City with her.

The reason? This bastard said:

"While parents are alive, one should not travel far." His mother was still waiting for him to come home for dinner.

It's not like everyone doesn't have a mother. I do! ...! I do!! I do!!

"Are you sure you don't want to come back with us?" Hu Liena, sitting in the armored Soul-Motion truck on the main road outside Soto City, asked Chen Hong beside her again.

Several Spirit Hall Soul Masters remained at the Baiyun mining area, and more will be sent there later. Hu Liena, now packing her things and escorted by Spirit Hall elders, is heading back to Spirit City with her spoils.

They came secretly this time just to see if the news about the mine was true. Now that it has been confirmed, and with their Spirit Hall having the advantage of striking first, the Heaven Dou Empire, as the most powerful violent institution in the world, has no reason or courage to cause trouble for their Spirit Hall. They can only try their best to cooperate, hoping to get a share of the pie.

The Baiyun Mining Area is, after all, within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Spirit Hall never intended to completely monopolize it; they simply wanted to take the lion's share. When it comes to making money, it's more harmonious if everyone makes money together.

"No, no, I'm too young to be in the public eye. If you insist on choosing a lucky one, then take my old man away."

Chen Hong jumped off the truck and turned around to prepare to sell his father.

Chen Lin: "."

Hu Liena looked at Chen Hong and sighed slightly: "Alright then, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just go to Bishop Soto. I've already spoken to him."

"Regarding the Soul Engine transaction, we will discuss it with Vice President Chen Lin later. See you next time, Chen Hong."

"Until fate allows, Your Majesty."

Chen Hong and Chen Lin stood by the roadside, waving goodbye to the departing Spirit Hall convoy.

Although Chen Hong had sold himself to the Spirit Hall for a good price, he did not want to cause too much trouble, so he declined Hu Liena's invitation to go to Spirit City.

Sometimes being too high-profile isn't a good thing, especially at his age. There are too many violent elements in Martial Soul City, and the more extraordinary Chen Hong is, the less safe he is.

On the contrary, Chen Hong's personal influence, which is positioned as a supplier of production equipment, is integrated with Chen Linninglu. Even if others know that Chen Hong is a smart kid, they will not feel the shock and intensity of him going to Wuhun City alone and stirring up trouble there, becoming the center of the storm.

There are many equipment suppliers in this world; basically, every blacksmith shop is also an equipment production point. Chen Lin's Chen Family Blacksmith Shop used to supply various metal equipment to Soto City, but now they've simply added a new gadget called Soul Motion.

Moreover, the technological barrier for the first-generation soul engine wasn't particularly high. With enough blacksmithing departments from major powers experimenting and using soul-guiding materials, they could even produce a pirated soul engine. However, their pirated soul engines might be less than one-tenth the quality and energy conversion efficiency of the original. With some effort, they could probably reach 50%. As for completely catching up with the original, Chen Hong believed that unless blacksmiths worldwide united and brainstormed together, it would be difficult for at least five years.

Moreover, even if they had a flash of inspiration and successfully grasped the basic knowledge of Chen Hong's soul motivation five years later, by then Chen Hong would have already been leading for another five years, and the gap might have widened even further.

Technological advancement is not achieved overnight; it requires gradual accumulation and continuous trial and error. A slight misstep could render half a lifetime of effort futile.

Chen Hong's most terrifying advantage over this world is that he knows the future of a qualified technological civilization's technological development. He may need to constantly try and fail, and constantly practice, but his direction will basically not be wrong.

Chen Hong now possesses a wealth of interstellar civilization technology knowledge, but lacks a 'computer language' to translate his knowledge into the world's supercomputer.

Technological advancement requires a certain degree of romantic fantasy, but Chen Hong doesn't have that. The things in his mind have all existed before. He doesn't need to fantasize; he only needs to practice a "completely new programming language" and then localize the knowledge in his mind into this world. In this process, he will form a completely new technological logic and surpass his past self.

Chen Hong decided to adapt to local customs and called this language:

Soul-guided inscription technology.

"Come on, Dad, it's time to lie down and count your money. Let's go home."

Chen Hong stood on the green grass on both sides of the road, watching the strangely shaped convoy slowly disappear at the end of the road. He then turned and headed towards Soto City, with Chen Lin following behind.

The Soul Engine is Chen Hong's first product of localizing soul-guided technology after spending two or three years on it. More soul-guided technology products will be born in the future. With this start, the development of soul-guided technology will be much simpler, especially since Chen Hong currently has a super project that has not yet been revealed—Inscription Technology.

Inscriptions are marks on metal; patterns are the overall layout of marks on a metal surface. Soul power is energy flowing in a certain way on a carrier, resonating with the unknown rules of heaven and earth, and then producing powerful "soul skills" effects.

Chen Hong's inscription technology is just beginning. The soul-guided engraving knife in his hand is only the simplest attempt. As the research deepens, the era of inscription technology can be truly laid with a solid foundation by Chen Hong, and only then can it be truly opened up.

Right now, everything is still in the exploratory stage, everything is unknown, everything is mysterious, but everything is also so interesting.

When Chen Hong and Chen Lin finally returned to Soto City after more than a week, they arrived at the entrance of the Xuanhu Medical Clinic just in time for lunch.

It just so happened that Ye Lingling was still at the clinic, so the four of them were finally able to get together and have a proper meal.

The two generations enjoyed a harmonious meal together. Chen Lin was increasingly pleased with the quiet and gentle Ye Lingling, admiring his wife's "aristocratic connections."

Thank you to [Book Friend 6325], [Worker Ant], and [Tree Master] for the monthly tickets!

I'll move the time forward by an hour from now on; posting at midnight is a bit late.
