Reincarnated as a True Person, Watch Me Control the Tiger Emperor

Yuujin Itadori knew that there was a cursed spirit born from the negative emotions humans felt towards each other.

She is incredibly beautiful, cunning, and extremely dangerous. Her technique, "Transformation of Nothingness," can easily attack the souls of others.

She loved to play around, turning Fushiguro Megumi into a woman, turning Toudou Aoi's left hand into a ticker timer... She had basically messed with everyone in the entire sorcery world, and everyone hated her to the bone. But in the end, including Itadori, no one could truly hate her.

Because, in the face of that terrible disaster, it was she who stepped forward and saved everyone with her own sacrifice.

"Haha... Don't be sad... A cursed spirit born from humans... naturally loves humans the most..."

whee.

I was just kidding.

All of this was simply because a guy who transmigrated into a real person didn't want to be blocked at his resurrection point by the Tiger Emperor.

Chapter 180 Technology Relies on Archaeology (4K)

Midsummer Night.

The lights of Xiayi Comprehensive Research and Higher Education Institution were on full display.

It is usually referred to as a "university" and represents the academic pinnacle of the entire Great Qian Empire. Although several batches of university projects have been approved over the years, it is still number one.

Especially since the principal is former Prime Minister Ho Wan, this political legacy will continue for a long time.

Feng Tianyin paused slightly as she looked at the statue in front of the school gate.

With the passing of He Huang and Bayar's generation, the temple's upper echelons are now entirely dominated by the third-generation team; times have changed.

A new generation replaces the old.

"So you can be sentimental too? That's so unlike you."

"Stop being so glib. You're the most sentimental one. You cried your eyes out when Bayar left." Hearing his colleague's words, the Great Prophet sighed with deep sorrow.

The departure of her closest student reminded her that she had fully entered the realm of immortality, and from then on, she could watch the world change.

Nowadays, the term "chief disciple" in the inner sanctuary is more of a title and status.

But everyone knows that Bayar was Gegentana's first student, and her forever good girl.

"Let's go."

Feng Tianyin took the initiative to break the silence.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengshu, who had been keeping a low profile in the corner, quickly led the way. Today's itinerary was to conduct a trial of a new technology project in Xiayi, which might cause pollution, hence the two of them were brought together.

Of course, this was a tradition, and the high priest was never absent whenever a major invention became widespread.

She used public attention to endorse her new invention, so there was basically no argument in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty that "technology destroyed tradition".

Who is more traditional than the high priest who has lived to this day?

The strongest elder.

If this person is actively embracing new things, then there's not much else to say; let's all welcome the new era together.

The group headed straight for the test area.

"To me, the college has always had an atmosphere of tradition. My last official meeting with Yu Xue and Dean Xue was also at the college... Perhaps everyone likes the youthful feeling brought by the students."

No one knew how to respond, because the high priest rarely expressed his remembrance.

She has changed.

In the past, Feng Tianyin would have completely omitted her sentimental remarks from the "nonsense" section, but now she is willing to share them, which is unprecedented. Has she been influenced by the Heavenly Dao?

It remains extraordinary, yet it is also full of the warmth of everyday life.

"Your Majesty, history will not forget the contributions of your important ministers, and you are the best proof of their achievements."

"The same goes for His Excellency the Great Prophet; every outstanding priest in the inner sanctuary will be celebrated."

Lu Zhengshu answered sincerely.

He then led the two into the testing area. As soon as they entered, they heard a roaring sound, and the air was filled with a sticky and pungent smell.

rumble!

Gedentana waved her hand. "Is this what you call the smell of diesel fuel?"

Over the years, she had long since forgiven those academically discriminatory individuals from her college days; after all, they were all dead, while she herself had become one of the older generation with a high level of education. But their constant use of strange inventions was really noisy, yet she was still curious and wanted to come and see for herself.

"There's more than one type of oil, but that's not the point. The important thing is that we've finally built an internal combustion engine—"

The intricate steel heart unveiled its secrets.

Feng Tianyin's eyes lit up as she instantly scanned the structure, understanding everything inside and out; it was indeed quite well-designed.

not bad.

I didn't interfere with the blueprints myself, I just told them some basic principles to speed up the research. I didn't expect them to make such rapid progress, it really exceeded my expectations. There are so many geniuses in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Lu Zhengshu excitedly introduced, "Moreover, we have manufactured more than one model. Please take a look."

"Currently, there are reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, rotary piston engines, and free piston engines, which can drive cars, trains, ships, or generate electricity, ultimately achieving an unprecedented power source."

Feng Tian nodded repeatedly.

However, as always, he remained expressionless, as if he had expected it.

As for Gegentana, she was clearly dozing off and couldn't listen at all. She was a philosophy and theology major and couldn't understand what science and engineering people were saying.

The two of them showed absolutely no emotional value feedback.

The speaker, Lu Zhengshu, scratched his head and suddenly had a brilliant idea, asking, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you fly?"

"can."

Their answer was very decisive. In fact, in this day and age, some powerful psychics can even briefly levitate and glide. For those who have ascended to higher levels, flight is not a difficult task either.

It's just that they haven't been on the battlefield for too long, which has made people gradually forget their strength.

Besides, the monsters they usually beat up are from the subspace, and the material universe can't withstand any more of this.

"We have already manufactured a rotary impeller jet engine, and in time, this big iron bird will also take to the sky."

Lu Zhengshu pointed to the primitive-looking airplane.

It's very rudimentary.

But it was already taking shape, and ordinary people could ride in aircraft and soar through the sky. Hot air balloons were no match for its flexibility, and a completely new mode of transportation was being born.

"The research direction is correct; let's continue along this trend."

Feng Tianyin gave an affirmative answer.

In a fleeting moment, she swiftly cleaned up the pollution that permeated the scene; it was the authority of the evil god of knowledge that resonated.

Even the seemingly nonchalant Gergentana joined in, both of them having anticipated that the warp would seize any opportunity to attack – a kind of technological constraint, after all. However, they couldn't cause any trouble in front of them.

Now it's time for today's real highlight:

Power generation.

Several researchers started the diesel generators and then pulled the switches, resulting in a loud bang.

In an instant, the light from the light bulbs extended from the campus, quickly illuminating the entire Xiayi. It was no longer the light from kerosene, whale oil, or mermaid oil, but the light from electricity.

The wiring has been laid long ago, and we can finally start it up today.

The night sky was also illuminated.

In the light that was as bright as day, the residents of Xiayi were stunned and spread the news, unable to believe that the experiment was so shocking.

"It is not light from the universe, nor light from the Heavenly Ritual, but light from the earth!"

They were amazed by the city's vibrant nightlife.

The world will be cleansed, and the hunger, cold, killing, and fear that darkness represents will gradually dissipate, replaced by a scene of prosperity. The new era of electricity will arrive 120 years after the Enlightenment.

Lu Zhengshu gazed at the shimmering horizon and laughed heartily. At this moment, Feng Tianyin and Gegentana also applauded.

A historic moment.

Together they witnessed countless important moments for the empire, but conquering the night is something that is meaningful for all mankind and is destined to overturn the way of life. What will that be like?

Xiayi became the first city to have a night economy.

"Pass down the order: lay electrical circuits throughout the empire according to this standard, the sooner the better."

The age of electricity has begun.

New World colonies.

Wu Tong, who had gotten up early in the upscale residential area adjacent to the branch office, stepped out of his detached villa, faced the sea, and took a deep breath that was refreshing and invigorating.

She took the coffee the maid had just brewed and went to the fence. The soil under her feet still felt damp from the rain.

Take the newspaper from the mailbox amidst the sound of the ocean waves.

"Pfft!"

Upon seeing the headline, Wu Tong suddenly coughed, causing her delicate body to tremble.

Nanwei, who had gotten up even earlier and was already reading the newspaper on her recliner next door, looked over and immediately guessed her senior's worries: "Is it because of the news that the High Priest is coming?"

The schedule has been announced on the front page; it is expected to arrive at Xinxiang Port in about a month.

Although they would stay on Lost Island for a while, no one really cared about those details.

The highlight is my visit to Xinxiang.

“That’s right, the City Lord’s Mansion will definitely host a welcome party with the company. I need to prepare well. We must showcase the achievements of the Great Qian merchants in exploring the New World, and we need to bring out the best products.”
