When Mu Qingsi came to Yang Chen's side, Yang Chen was explaining something to the mad Taoist.

On the side, there were also Gao Zhou, Zhou Xuzheng, and Genghua Daoren.

"What?" the mad man was shouting, "Yang Chen, your kid asked me to cultivate a spirit plant that can grow quickly and adjust the growth rate in no more than two months, and only need to use carbon-containing materials, whether coal or ordinary wood straw, as cultivation soil, and then you can produce a large area of high-purity graphene?

After coming to Lingwu Villa, he was infected by the overall atmosphere of Lingwu Villa, and the mad people also began to learn traditional scientific knowledge.

So far, I can't say how good his level is, but some common sense still knows. Moreover, there is a lot of scientific knowledge that can even be used as inspiration for the mad people to develop spiritual plants, and the only weakness is in mathematics.

After all, other things are fine, as long as they don't involve too advanced knowledge and don't engage in in-depth research, they often only need to memorize and memorize the content. Whether it's materials science, biology, or physical chemistry, it's pretty much the same. For a monk who has cultivated well, it is not difficult to memorize these things, or even absorb and digest them.

There are only two things that are most difficult: one is to change the way of thinking, and change the original extensive, mysterious, empirical rather than theoretical way of thinking into a scientific way of thinking -- no matter whether the specific thing studied is traditional science or psionic technology, only with this thing can you be a real scientist, otherwise it is already very face-saving to call a civil science, and to put it mildly, it must be called pseudoscience.

The other one is mathematics.

Ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are easy to learn, but advanced mathematics is really not something that ordinary people can play, even monks.

But in any case, as far as the current madman is concerned, he has a preliminary scientific literacy -- that is, a scientific way of thinking and researching -- and he is also quite good in terms of scientific knowledge. And the one in the history of later generations who was only good at spirit plants, but lackluster in other aspects, so after researching the Golden Yang Spirit Grass and being very generous - or a pity to disclose the technology, his name disappeared from history.

In the great development of psionic technology in the future, there is no trace of him, and since then, he has been obscured from everyone.

This is the reason for the lack of foundation.

I haven't mastered the scientific way of thinking and research, and I'm still doing research in the way of the traditional metaphysical cultivation system. If it weren't for the cataclysm and the energy particle theory that led to the scientific metaphysical research, that is, the tide of psionic technology research, he would have been able to continue to make achievements. But when psionic technology began to dominate the research of the entire metaphysical world, he could no longer keep up.

This kind of backwardness, if the mad people can clearly recognize their own shortcomings, can actually be avoided.

However, the development of psionic technology in later generations is not like Yang Chen, who has a clear positioning and self-awareness of psionic technology from the beginning, and the development of psionic technology in the history of later generations is also full of various directions and possibilities, and it looks so beautiful that it is enough to confuse many people. It was only in the end that the scientific psionic technology research finally triumphed.

Just like the development of traditional science, at the beginning, it was still a process in which alchemy and chemistry were mixed, the mystic and the righteous were intertwined with the experimental master and righteousness, and astronomy and astrology were contended. Even Newton, who started a generation of scientific development, still considered himself an alchemist, and in his later years turned to theological research, hoping that God would save the "first impulse".

In the eyes of later generations, the direction of scientific development is certainly clear. What is right and what is not is of course clear. But people in that era may not be able to have such an understanding, and even if they do, it may not be clear enough - therefore, in the eyes of later generations, the previous path of scientific development from barbarism to truth will be so full of all kinds of legends and regrets.

Although psionic technology is based on the metaphysics of occultism, it belongs to the field of science because of its way of thinking and research.

Therefore, the early stage of the development of psionic technology, just like the early stage of science, was full of colorful and dazzling directions, but in the end there was only one way, and it was not so beautiful, not so flat and wide, to reach the other side of the truth.

In the eyes of people in later generations, there is no doubt about the choice, but in the eyes of people in the deep era, it is not so reasonable and has no choice.

I don't know how many researchers in the metaphysical world have embarked on the road of no return far from the path of truth.

And the price paid by these people, their hard work and achievements (failure is also an alternative achievement), suffering and joy, all became the stepping stone and the soil for the growth of a new psionic science that leads to the truth.

Although it is also an asset for psionic science. But for the person concerned, this is great sorrow and pain.

I don't know how many people who have been disillusioned and finally choose to end their lives after confirming that the path they have chosen has failed, because their ideals have been shattered and there is no point in surviving. As a researcher who is more pure than ordinary people and ordinary monks, the ideal is their life. The ideals are shattered, even if the life of this physical body is still very long, there is still no meaning to live.

Therefore, when the era of true psionic science comes, as a new product with an infinite future and infinite vitality, its placenta naturally contains the blood of countless idealists!

These people were sacrificed as sacrifices of failure and presented to the altar of science. Their exploration and research have not been ignored by people in later generations, and people have recognized their value, but they are probably not happy to see this value: because it is recognized as a totem of the spirit of exploration and adventure, and as a case of failure, in other words, the value of their research and exploration is recognized. And what they are studying is itself a given goal.

The madman is not so extreme, but he is also one of the losers of the old era. After the amazing research on the cultivation method of Jinyang Spirit Grass, it was short-lived and silent ever since. There is little historical information in later generations, and there is only one cold record of his life after that: thirty-five years after the cataclysm, Shouyuan was exhausted and died. No second result has been published until the death, and even the research materials left behind have been assessed as "worthless and wasted time".

For the mad people, this can be said to be a great sorrow.

The pace of progress was too fast for him to keep up. If the times hadn't moved so fast, maybe he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Of course, this is the madman of later history. Now, with Yang Chen helping him point out the direction and make up for his shortcomings, and not to mention being so naïve that he didn't have any requirements to disclose all the Jinyang Lingcao materials for free, just the income from the Jinyang Lingcao was enough to support him to go deeper on the road of research - the reason why he was depressed later in his later history and couldn't keep up with the times was also because of the lack of sufficient research funds.

After all, he naively disclosed the information of the Golden Yang Spirit Grass for free, and as a result, the cultivation of the Golden Yang Spirit Grass, which can be called a huge profit, actually did not bring him income, but because he used his life savings to study the Golden Yang Spirit Grass, he was destitute after that. If not, he is a pioneer on this road after all, and even if he smashes it with money, he can smash out a leading position in the industry.

It's a pity to say.

But then again, it is precisely because he is such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune that he was able to study Jinyang Lingcao for decades, and finally successfully completed the research on the cultivation technology of Jinyang Lingcao. If you are interested in fame and fortune, where can you endure loneliness so much? Naturally, it is impossible to have achievements.

Many scientists are actually similar personalities. They have a genius for scientific research, but they are not good at experience, and the result is often that they are short-lived in scientific research: because there is no money to continue their research.

The defeat of scientists to capital is really one of the saddest things in the world.

Fortunately, this will not happen to the mad people now. Although he is not good at experience, but with Yang Chen here, no matter how he is, he will not fall like in his previous life.

All in all, the current mad Dao person, even if he put aside his research level of Jinyang Spirit Grass and other spirit plants, he can barely be regarded as a qualified researcher.

He knows a lot about scientific knowledge.

For example, Yang Chen asked him to study the target product, the high-purity graphene.

In the field of materials science, graphene belongs to a futuristic advanced material that is close to science fiction.

Prior to the discovery of borene in late 2015, graphene was the thinnest and hardest nanomaterial known in the world. It is almost completely transparent, absorbs only 2.3% of light, has a much higher thermal conductivity than carbon nanotubes and diamonds, and has a much higher electron mobility than carbon nanotubes or silicon crystals at room temperature. Its resistivity is lower than that of copper or silver, making it the smallest resistivity material in the world. Therefore, it is expected to be used to develop a new generation of electronic components or transistors that are thinner and faster to conduct electricity. Since graphene is essentially a transparent, good conductor, it is also suitable for making transparent touch screens, light panels, and even solar cells.

It is extremely meaningful even for basic research in physics. Because it will make it possible to verify some quantum effects that were previously only on paper through experiments. Its extreme physical properties also have a wide range of value, which can be used to develop new materials that are light, thin, good stretch and super tough, which can be used in the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft, satellites, and can also be used as a catalyst for photosynthesis, and can also play a huge role in aerospace military industry, biopharmaceuticals, etc.
