A few days later, Zhang Shanhai took Du Haiping to his secret research room. Naturally, it is in Zhang Shanhai's cave. Now it's a big change inside. Zang Liming and his disciples led a large number of people to build several imposing palaces in the cave. All of them are built with fine timber and painted with homemade natural paint, which is not much worse than the Forbidden City.

However, Zhang Shanhai's research laboratory naturally could not use a wooden house, so a blue brick house was built, but the inside was a concrete structure. It looks like it goes well with those palace complexes. Zhang Shanhai was naturally quite satisfied with it. He didn't really care about the living conditions, but it would be nice to be able to be a little more comfortable.

Du Haiping was a little worried that the equipment in the laboratory could not meet the demand.

"Shanhai, the experimental conditions here are okay, but what about the experimental equipment? You must know that we can't buy experimental instruments in China at all, and Yanda's experimental instruments are all brought back from abroad with a lot of effort. Now that the developed countries of Europe and the United States are restricting our country, we cannot buy a lot of high-tech equipment that we continue to have. Du Haiping said.

"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own way. The conditions in this are definitely better than Yan Da, not worse than Yan Da. Scientific experimental instruments, for Zhang Shanhai, is really not a problem, the Hyuga family has slowly gained a firm foothold in Japan with the support of Zhang Shanhai, and can slowly compete with the Maoming family, the Ampere family and other onmyoji families. Naturally, the sphere of influence continued to expand.

Advanced scientific equipment is hard to come by in China, but it is extremely easy for the Japanese to buy it. Then, through some means, these instruments were slowly reduced to zero, and finally they were made to China. Zhang Shanhai didn't spend a penny, so he prepared the experimental equipment he needed.

Therefore, when Zhang Shanhai took Du Haiping into the laboratory, Du Haiping was very excited, most of the instruments, Du Haiping knew their use, but he was rarely able to operate them by himself. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shanhai was able to get almost all the experimental instruments in his hands.

"Great, great! I didn't expect you to have such a complete set of experimental equipment here. I don't think we'll have any problems with the rest of the experiments. Du Haiping said.

Zhang Shanhai nodded, "So, I'm going to continue the experiment in the near future." First of all, the various metals are purified to see what kind of properties these metals will have in absolute purity. I've designed my metal refining automation device and it's just right for experiments. ”

"Have you already automated the metal refining? So if we extract a single metal, can we produce it on a large scale? Du Haiping asked.

Zhang Shanhai nodded: "That's right." However, the yield is not very high, and there are still many problems that have not been solved. Further research is needed. ”

Each particular metal has its own distinct personality just like a person. Zhang Shanhaicai purified the copper to obtain absolute purity oxygen-free copper, and when testing the properties, Du Haiping was ecstatic.

"For so many years, the world has been studying superconducting metals, I didn't expect superconducting metals to come so easily, although I know that copper is a very good conductor, but no one thought that absolute purity of oxygen-free copper is a superconductor! Mountains and seas, do you know what that means? Du Haiping asked.

"A lot. Such as super electric motors, maglev trains, supercomputers, and so on. Zhang Shanhai said.

"You're right. Superconductivity means zero resistance, and there is no need to think about heat dissipation. Many technical problems can be solved. We can make faster flying machines, we can make super-fast electromagnetically powered ships. So far, the only thing that has a superconducting interest at room temperature is the absolute purity oxygen-free copper that we have just obtained. I'm really looking forward to what strange properties would be if none of the elements were purified. Du Haiping said.

"However, Mr. Du, don't be too happy, it's still the laboratory stage, and there is still a long way to go before it can be truly industrialized." Zhang Shanhai said.

"I understand, I understand, but your purification work has been basically automated, and it should not be a very difficult thing to carry out industrial production in the future." Du Haiping said.

"Mr. Du, in fact, the core of the automatic purification device is the small device in my hand, in fact, this small device needs to consume energy, but the energy it consumes is not the energy system we usually see, but a new energy, some strange phenomena in our lives have a lot to do with this kind of energy. For example, the phenomenon of superpowers, many phenomena that are difficult to explain scientifically, are actually due to the existence of this kind of energy. However, this energy is very small in nature, and it is extremely difficult to collect, so it is very difficult to achieve large-scale industrial production. Zhang Shanhai said.

"New energy?" Du Haiping asked.

Zhang Shanhai nodded: "Teacher Du should have heard of monks, right?" ”

Du Haiping said, "Could it be that you are saying that the energy is related to the monk's mana?" ”

Zhang Shanhai said: "That's true. Monks are able to cast spells precisely because they have learned to use the same mysterious energy. The human body is the best reservoir of this mysterious energy, and the more energy is stored in the body, the more proficient his Dao skills become. Able to perform earth-destroying techniques. ”

"Shanhai, do you know the monk?" Du Haiping asked.

"Teacher Du, I won't tell you. I'm a monk. Otherwise, how could I have taken the samples back from those spies? Zhang Shanhai didn't hide anything from Du Haiping, because Du Haiping was a pure scientist, and Taoism might be the most interesting to him about this mysterious energy.

"Can you show me a taste of this mystical energy?" Du Haiping asked.

"Naturally." After Zhang Shanhai finished speaking, he performed the simplest fire technique, and a ball of fire appeared out of thin air above Zhang Shanhai's right hand, and was suspended in the air under Zhang Shanhai's control.

"It's amazing." Du Haiping stretched out his hand, wanting to try it, what was the difference between this flame and ordinary flames. It turned out that this fire was no different from ordinary fire, and before it touched the fire, it already felt a boiling heat.

Zhang Shanhai removed the fire technique, and the fire was immediately and quietly extinguished.

"Huh? Mountains and seas, that is, this energy can be converted into various other energies. Du Haiping suddenly thought of a question.

Zhang Shanhai nodded: "That's true." It seems to be able to be converted into various energies. ”

"So can the transformation process be reversible?" Du Haiping asked.

"Huh? This, however, was not noticed, and there seemed to be no way to convert other energies into this kind of psionic energy. Zhang Shanhai said.

"Psionics?" Du Haiping is very sensitive to this new term.

"Yes, I call this energy psionic energy. The monk uses the ability of this energy to form in the body as spiritual power, and in nature, the monk calls it aura. That's why I call this energy psionic energy. Medicinal herbs with spiritual powers are called elixirs. When it comes to the spiritual energy of various attributes of the elixir, it can refine the elixir with very peculiar effectiveness. In some places, there is an abundance of aura, which is called a spiritual vein. Zhang Shanhai said.

"Well, that's a fitting name. Mountains and seas, do you know, the discovery of a new energy has triggered great progress in the world's science and technology. The discovery of psionic energy will inevitably lead to great changes in the world's science and technology. You have set a great milestone in the development of technology. If this energy is the most in the hands of human beings, the impact will be very great. Du Haiping said.

"But in order to effectively apply this kind of energy, we must solve the problem of transforming this energy. If we can convert other energies and psionic energy into each other, then all problems will be solved. However, I believe that this problem is not so easy to solve. According to the legend of the monks, in ancient times, the aura of the earth was extremely strong, so there were many people with extraordinary abilities at that time. For example, the legendary Chiyou, Xuanyuan, etc., those legendary characters are real in the eyes of the monks. However, the aura gradually lacked, and now the aura has become extremely thin, and the survival of the monks is becoming more and more difficult. If this problem is solved, the monks will also usher in an era of Taoist flourishing. Zhang Shanhai said.

"The monks are free and loose people. If that era really happens, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing. Weak and strong food. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to predict. Du Haiping said.

Zhang Shanhai frowned, "Well, so, even if you find a way, you have to be cautious." However, in the future, it may be possible to combine Taoism with technology. There is a situation in which modern technology and Taoism go hand in hand. Since psionic energy is a kind of energy, the application of psionic energy should be a way to use energy, which can naturally be perfectly combined with modern technology. ”

"Well, it's possible." Du Haiping thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Du, in fact, this situation may have become a reality. But not us earthlings. This time, I was in a secret base of the Mi people, where the Mi people hid alien technology. As far as I know, that civilization should be an alien civilization with a high degree of integration of monasticism and technology. Whether it is in science and technology, but also in the application of Taoism, they are much more than the earth. Zhang Shanhai said.

"What you said is true?" Du Haiping asked.

Zhang Shanhai nodded.

Du Haiping suddenly grabbed Zhang Shanhai's hand, "Shanhai, Mr. Du is a pure scientist. I don't have any ambitions, I just want to see the technology that represents the future. I know, it's your most secret thing. Maybe I shouldn't have asked for it, but I'd like to see it. Even if I was asked to die at a glance, I would be willing. So even if you want to trap me in your institute in the future, I will have no complaints. Just let me research what I'm interested in. ”

Zhang Shanhai looked at Du Haiping, Du Haiping's expression was full of fortitude, thought about it, nodded and said, "Teacher Du, don't worry, I will open these things to you, but whether it is something from my research institute or something from alien technology, I hope that Teacher Du will not say it." Because in my current situation, it is not enough to compete with one of the most developed countries in the world. After all, this time, I was pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. ”

Du Haiping made a poisonous oath: "Shanhai, don't worry, I will stay in your research institute in the future and will not go out." The environment here is so good, and the conditions are so good. As for me, I don't have any relatives. After that, I devoted myself to research here until I closed my eyes and did it. I just hope you don't use what you've researched to exploit the Chinese. ”

Zhang Shanhai said, "At this point, Mr. Du, please rest assured. But we really don't have enough people here. But you can't just bring people in. That's a real nuisance. ”

Zhang Shanhai only made a batch of jade talisman magic weapons to automatically purify various elements. Then I found some clever ones in my own people, learned some basic operations, and then replaced my own work, and finally released myself.

One of the questions that Zhang Shanhai thinks about the most is how to produce the aura between heaven and earth. To solve the problem of lack of Reiki, the first thing to solve is to know how Reiki is generated. Knowing how Reiki is generated, one can find ways to create it.

Zhang Shanhai first had an epiphany at Tsing Yi Pagoda, and introduced the qi of heaven and earth to cultivate, and found that the qi of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the stars can be like aura to improve people's cultivation. So is psionic energy, like other energies, its main source being the sun, moon and stars? The solar energy provided by the sun is the main source of energy for the earth. Is there psionic energy in addition to heat?

Slowly, Zhang Shanhai seems to have found the crux of the problem. The source of spiritual energy may be even the breath of the sun, moon, stars, heaven and earth. When this energy reaches the Earth, it transforms into a variety of forms. In the heyday of the ancient Dao method, it mainly existed in the form of aura, which was the easiest form for human beings to use. Therefore, in those times, great powers came out one after another. However, with the evolution of heaven and earth, spiritual energy is slowly transformed into various energy forms, which are difficult for human beings to use, and between heaven and earth, there are fewer and fewer spiritual energy in the form of spiritual energy. Those fixed forms of psionic energy are too stable to be harnessed. So the monks gradually decreased, and the heights they could reach became worse and worse.

If you want to use psionic energy, you must first solve the problem of creating aura. How to convert the energy of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars into aura. Zhang Shanhai has a lot of experience in this point. Whether it is in Tsing Yi Pagoda or in Zhangjiashan, Zhang Shanhai has obtained contact with the stars through formations. If the formation can attract the qi of heaven and earth, sun, moon and stars, then the generation of aura will naturally be endless.

It is very difficult to construct a formation that attracts the qi of heaven and earth, and even if a formation is constructed, it is still a very difficult problem to connect any formation with the sun, moon and stars.

Fortunately, Zhang Shanhai is a person who has come from the past and has mastered a set of methods to channel the qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, in establishing a qi induction array that can change with the celestial phenomena on its own, although it took a lot of Zhang Shanhai's brain meridians, he finally found a suitable method.

Zhang Shanhai picked a clear night, and waited until the night covered the earth, and the sky was full of stars. Zhang Shanhai activated the formation, and the entire large array automatically changed according to the changes in the stars. After the formation was running, Zhang Shanhai actually saw a wisp of pure white light pouring down from the sky. Of course, this phenomenon is invisible to ordinary people. Only the monks were able to see this phenomenon.

After Zhang Shanhai shone on the eye of the formation, he felt the dots of aura fly out of the formation. Then a large part is scattered with the wind, while the other part escapes. But not all psionic powers are gone. Some of them stayed, and Zhang Shanhai saw that some of the spiritual energy directly drilled into his body. Spiritual fluid that melts into your own meridians.

Although the production of aura still needs to be improved, it has already provided a reference for Zhang Shanhai's research.

Just when Zhang Shanhai was secretly happy, and was even ready to celebrate, the array eye jade talisman that carried the large array made a huge sound, and then it fell apart and turned into pieces.

Zhang Shanhai frowned, although he had long known that the jade talisman would not be able to meet his needs one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so easily. Zhang Shanhai needed to find the best material to carry spiritual energy.

"Shanhai, since you are purifying the materials everywhere, why don't you purify the jade beforehand? Also, don't always limit yourself to jade, absolute purity of a single element, in fact, you can try to use alloys. There are certainly some limitations to a single metallic property. But if you combine several absolute purity metallic organic ones, perhaps, you'll make a huge discovery. Du Haiping said.

Although Du Haiping didn't know much about psionic energy, his understanding of materials was obviously much deeper than Zhang Shanhai's. After all, the spirit rune carrier is still a material. As a veteran scientist who has been studying materials for decades, Du Haiping naturally knows how to find a suitable material.

Zhang Shanhai's eyes lit up, "Teacher Du, you're right." That's how it should be done. ”

In the end, it was the materials of the Great Xia Empire that gave Zhang Shanhai a lot of inspiration, but unfortunately the materials on the mysterious ship found the existence of a variety of elements that did not exist on the earth, so Zhang Shanhai could not make the materials exactly the same as those used in the mysterious spaceship of the Great Xia Empire. In the end, it is necessary to combine and synthesize all the metals and non-metals on the earth one by one. One after another properties surpass the discovery of jade materials. But none of them could reach the level that Zhang Shanhai was satisfied with. Although there has been a great improvement in the conduction of psionic energy, as well as the toughness of the material. But it still did not reach the level of Zhang Shanhai's ideals. Because of the large array made, the aura produced is still a little rare.

"A scientific experiment is one that requires 10,000 failures and the only one that succeeds. The number of combinations in your experiment is almost endless, so you must be mentally prepared to face failure. Du Haiping said.
