The method provided by Sun Xiang originated from a method often used by cultivators in the previous era when carving talismans, a special technique called "Chaoshu".

Using this technique, you can multiply the Divine Mind and give the talisman more powerful. For example, the techniques on the Divine Light Sword, forged by the master and forged by the apprentice, are not as powerful as the others.

To describe it as a common saying, it is the difference between the best spirit sword and the mortal spirit sword. Where does the "product" come from, many times it is because of the use of supermagic.

The portrayal of the standard Divine Light type only requires 15 Divine Thoughts, but the master can use 500 Divine Thoughts to give the Divine Light Technique 2 to 3 times the attack power.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the predicament that Sun Xiang is experiencing now, but that's not the point. In the last era, some cultivators further studied the rules of supermagic and made an unexpected discovery.

The spell-type runes that have been superseded can be copied into exactly the same copies through rubbing, but the power is decreasing. Some people believe that this is due to the overflow caused by the oversaturation of the divine thoughts in the form.

In fact, this can be understood as a very special kind of printing technique, in which the practitioner consums a lot of divine thoughts to carve out a template of the technique. Then, using the rubbing technique, several copies of the less powerful type can be copied from this template.

It's just that this method is not real printing, and a supermagic type can be copied forever without adding some ink. A top-level super-technique Divine Light Technique requires almost five hundred divine thoughts, but it can be copied at most eight to ten times. Only Yu Xiaoyue in Binhai City is barely reaching this level now, and most of the others are hovering between one or two hundred thoughts. The Divine Light Technique that they have super-struck can replicate two or three times at most.

When Xu Yishan heard this, her eyes really lit up. Spell runes cannot be drawn by machines, but it is possible to transfer a spell from one object to another.

She is a really smart person, and she knows that the biggest significance of this idea provided by Sun Xiang is not to increase the engraving efficiency of the forging workshop by two or three times.

Instead, he mobilized the cultivators of the coastal area and used his free time to make supermagic runes. The lightning side can spend money to buy it, so that it can get the divine light rune at dozens of times the existing speed.

And Sun Xiang found Xu Yishan to ask her to solve the problem of craftsmanship. He could only provide ideas to get more Divine Light Runes, because this step had to consume Divine Thoughts, and the machine could not replace it. As for how to make the rubbing supertechnique faster, and how to move the rubbing copy to the sword embryo, this is a purely scientific and technical problem.

"It's easy to do. Xu Yishan wiped her mouth clean, "But you shouldn't look for me." ”

She took out her mobile phone and called You Qiao. The ex-demon general is in the process of refitting equipment in another lab, and she says she'll be there soon.

While waiting, Xu Yishan saw that Sun Xiang had been staring at her mobile phone, and said apologetically: There is still some mobile phone stock, Sun Xiang can get it if he wants. However, at present, there are very few communication base stations that can operate in Binhai City, and it is very difficult to use them outside the scope of Binhai University.

"Now that the coastal area is relatively stable, why don't you build a few more base stations?" Sun Xiang asked casually.

"The equipment is insufficient, so I can only save money, how can I be as luxurious as before, and the signal is fully covered. Uncle, after the troubled times, the cutting-edge technology of mankind has completely stopped. Xu Yishan replied seriously, "As far as I know, since five years ago, the entire human race has not produced even a single chip. You should know what that means. ”

Sun Xiang certainly knew what that meant. Don't look at the waterfront can still use mobile phones and computers, but human beings have lost the ability to reproduce. Once the stocks are depleted, society will revert back to the levels of the first industrial revolution.

Cutting-edge technologies such as microelectronics and biotechnology require extremely long and complex production supply chains. More extreme technologies like the original Large Hadron Collider at Marina University require even the cooperation of the entire human race to get started.

After the revival of Reiki, humanity's infrastructure, talent pool, and education system have been severely damaged. It is no longer able to support the development of cutting-edge technology, and it is difficult to even maintain it. This is the fundamental reason why most cities abandon science and go all out to develop Reiki technology.

"Uncle, I heard about the Ancient Xuanmen's Tinder Project from Sister Xiaoyue. I'm not a cultivator, but I can feel the despair of the cultivators of the previous era when the aura was declining. Xu Yishan looked around at the scientific researchers in white coats around her, "The current Binhai University is not the last spark of human scientific and technological civilization." ”

"Don't worry, with me, the light of human science and technology will not be extinguished. Sun Xiang comforted.

As a real overhaul, Sun Da is also very rare and loves natural science. It's not black or blowing, the fluorescent protein labeling technology of human beings, Sun Da has made a contribution at the beginning!

While the two were talking, You Qiao arrived. She hadn't had time to change her overalls and looked like an auto mechanic. Xu Yishan repeated Sun Xiang's super-magic type ideas, and the two girls discussed head-to-head fiercely for less than five minutes.

"No problem, small project. You Qiao raised his head and took over the task quickly, "I'm going to spend a day and a half transforming the Divine Light Saber production line, but the supermagic method requires you to teach the engraver, and I won't." ”

Sun Xiang nodded, and the problem of insufficient manpower in the technique portrayal was partially solved. The Divine Light Sword is not a consumable item, and it will be stopped when it is produced in about 10,000 pieces. When the time comes, you can change to other products and use a new surgical model, or you can do the same.

He said goodbye to the two who were inexplicably good and left the scope of the Institute of Metaphysics of Binhai University. It was already noon, and at the next stop, he planned to go to Xiang Fei's.

Xiang Fei has been doing fieldwork during this time, and it is said that she found a piece of feng shui treasure land and prepared to open up a medicine field. She must have a good understanding of the surrounding plant growing environment.

Sun Xiang promised Xu Weiyue that he would plant the spiritual roots of Lishui in a place where he could see the crowd and the rising sun. This miserable woman wanted nothing more. There are many such places, and the problem is that the spiritual root of Lishui must be rooted in the leylines, and this condition is more harsh.

Therefore, Sun Xiang needs to understand the surrounding feng shui environment first, and it is best to find the outlet for the earth's leyline aura gushing out. If you really don't have it, you can only try the method of leyline transformation.

The transformation of the leylines is a really big project, and it is impossible to do it specifically for Xu Weiyue alone. But the good thing is that the precursor to the construction of a lot of cultivation infrastructure is the transformation of the leylines, so it's just a matter of time.

All in all, there's nothing wrong with exploring the surrounding area first.

The problem is that he doesn't know where Xiang Fei is now. Xiang Fei is out of the city, and there is no communication base station outside the city to provide mobile phone signal. He could only go to the command center of the city defense army first, where there was a communication radio. Each team leaving the city would carry a walkie-talkie, and at a distance of no more than twenty kilometers from the city walls, they could try to make contact.

There is a large residential area between the Coastal University and the command center, and Sun Xiang used to fly around. Now Chizhang handed it over to Lu Ning to go out to hunt for treasures, and the speed of traveling against the wind is not fast. Sun Xiang simply walked through the residential area to see the lives of the civilians on the coast.

After coming back for so long and dealing with high-level people, Sun Xiang has not yet had an in-depth understanding of the lives of ordinary people.

He knew that this was not good, and that it was called detachment from the masses.

Compared with other city lords, Yu Xiaoyue is very attentive to civilians. Because the harvest in the Linggu Valley on the coast was still sufficient, there was no famine. The pedestrians passing by were all healthy in terms of complexion.

However, the proportion of fat people has decreased significantly, indicating that there is no surplus of food.

In terms of water supply, the coastal area is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water system is developed and the rainfall is abundant. Maintenance at several waterworks is relatively normal.

In terms of power supply, we have to thank Xu Yishan, who designed and built the deuterium ion controllable nuclear fusion reactor, which not only meets the needs of the city's defense, but also supplies more than enough electricity for the city's daily life.

By the way, Binhai is the only city in the entire land of China that does not worry about electricity.

The housing is surprisingly spacious.

Before the troubled times, Binhai was notoriously high in the country, and it was difficult to find a house in the commercial housing market. Ordinary people want to buy a house, not to mention the outrageous price. Even if you bring the full amount, a house on the beach is not something you can buy if you want to. Not only to find a relationship, but also to draw numbers, but also to open all kinds of certificates.

After Yu Xiaoyue took control of Binhai, in order to facilitate management, all the commercial houses were confiscated, and then distributed according to the method of one household and one room.

According to her original plan, after the existing houses are divided, as many families as few families do not have houses, they will build as many more houses.

The results were unexpected.

After the distribution of nearly 10 million people, there are still nearly 3 million houses in Binhai that have not been allocated – not counting the suburbs.

It's outrageous.

Sure enough, the real estate developers should be killed.

But apart from food, water, electricity and housing, civilians really have nothing. Even the clothes on their bodies look very old. Even patches on clothes that I haven't seen in years are all over the place.

The textile industry needs basic raw materials, cotton cloth needs cotton, and chemical fiber needs the petroleum industry. Neither cotton nor petrochemical industry has the possibility of starting production in this troubled era.

Although there is still some stock, there will be one less piece of clothing to wear, so the supply is tight.

If civilians want to have a better life, buy a new piece of clothing for themselves or their families, buy canned meat to satisfy their cravings, or even buy special items for cultivation. Then you need to work, and use the credits you earn to exchange them at official supply and marketing cooperatives, or on the black market.

It's just that there are so few jobs available right now. The city defense army will be replenished with combat personnel on a regular basis, and Lightning will also recruit some production technicians in small quantities. Other than that, there are only the out-of-town missions temporarily issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

Non-combat missions, such as searching, gathering, and harvesting, often recruit civilians on an ad hoc basis. Of course, it is not to let civilians go out of the city to die, and the accompanying party will be equipped with a low-level cultivator and a squad of soldiers to provide protection.

Sun Xiang is walking on the most prosperous commercial street in the coastal area in the past, but unfortunately those bright lights and wine are gone.

The once glittering office building has long since been riddled with holes in the glass curtain wall. The brand advertising that was once thunderous has long been torn off and replaced with other uses. The shelves that were once dazzling have long since been empty. Even the once glorious marble floors were pried open and transported away as piles for city defense facilities.

The strange thing is that it is still crowded with people. Perhaps because of nostalgia for yesterday's prosperity, people who have nothing to do will still regard this commercial street as the best place for leisure.

There are more people now than there used to be. Because in the past, there would be a little less people during working hours on weekdays. But now, no one has a job, and they can wander around here all day with nothing to do.

(It will take a few chapters to describe the picture of civilian life in troubled times, which may be a little boring.) But I don't want to use so many civilians as a background board and write a few perfunctory descriptions such as "civilians are so miserable" and "many people have died". I want to explore how an ordinary person thinks and lives in such a troubled world. ）
