Section 298 Development of science and technology
Everything was done according to Xin Daqiang's vision, after all, the cultivation realm of Xin Yu and Xin Kong could not even be perceived by the soul, and it was naturally impossible to have the ability to help Pan Guihua's soul prolong life. Moreover, the characteristics of the World Stone also cut off the connection between the small world and the cosmic world, even if Xin Yu and Xin Kong can help anything, they can't directly act on Pan Guihua's soul at present.
Therefore, although Xin Daqiang's vision has various flaws, it may not be successful. However, because of other than that, Xin Yu and Xin Kong had no other way, and they only waited for a while to see if Xin Daqiang could make rapid progress in the first step and have obvious control over the law of time.
In addition, it is hoped that Pan Guihua can make significant progress in the cultivation of faith in the past ten years, and can have a larger reserve of soul energy, so as to cope with the situation that Xin Daqiang cannot master the law of time and cause time in the small world to stagnate, and can support it for a while longer, so that Xin Yu or Xin Kong can think of other solutions.
Speaking of which, even Xin Yu, whose cultivation speed was extremely against the sky, could not guarantee that he would be able to find a solution to the soul problem in such a short period of more than ten years. At present, Xin Yu and Xin Kong seem to have nothing to do, and although Xin Kong's grand wish has caused a response from Heavenly Dao, he still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the point where human civilization can develop rapidly. Whether it is in terms of cultivation or scientific research, if you want to reach the point of being recognized by the Heavenly Dao, it will take at least tens of thousands of years...... Moreover, this is based on the fact that he can research a cultivation method that is more suitable for ordinary people who do not have astral qualifications, or the great development of scientific and technological civilization in human society in the entire universe.
Judging from the current situation, Xin Kong himself has no talent for cultivation, not that he looks down on him, but only with the guidance of Xin Yu, a cultivation "master", and the unlimited supply of various pills, he can enter the Jindan stage when he is in his eighties, although his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary astral magicians who have practiced for seventy or eighty years, but in essence, the cultivation of the Jindan stage is only in its infancy in the entire cultivation journey.
As for the cultivation after the Jindan period, Xin Yu could not give Xin Kong more guidance, and in the absence of researching a more advanced and efficient elixir, Xin Kong wanted to make faster progress, and also to study a cultivation method that was more suitable for ordinary people's cultivation, which was almost an absolutely impossible thing to achieve...... If he is given hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, there may still be a little hope, but before Pan Guihua's soul disappears, he wants to improve the height of human civilization through universal cultivation, and also reach the point of being recognized by the Heavenly Dao, basically, the hope is very slim.
No matter from which point of view, there should be no good way for Xinkong to practice, so he can only hope that scientific research can promote the progress of human civilization in this way. In fact, because scientific research itself concentrates the wisdom of many ordinary people, it can achieve a faster development rate than the cultivation of civilization.
Although from an individual point of view, it is impossible for ordinary people to study various natural laws as well as cultivators with cultivation, if on the whole, although the strength that each ordinary person can contribute is very humble, the so-called high flame of people picking up materials, when the base of people engaged in scientific research is large, the power that scientific civilization can burst out is definitely much greater than that of any cultivation...... At least in terms of the speed of development of civilization, scientific civilization is far faster than that of spiritual civilization.
It's like the current Ocean Country, it has only taken more than 70 years, counting the construction of three generations, but the achievements have made the entire astral world feel threatened. If the strategic deterrence of nuclear weapons is concerned, there are many ways for astromagicians to resist or even suppress it, but for ordinary people, the "temptation" of practicing astrology It has gradually disappeared, after all, although the expectation of a longer lifespan is a common luxury for all living beings, but for those ordinary people who have certain astral qualifications, but are not sure that they can reach the height of high-level astromagicians, devoting all their time to astrological cultivation will ultimately fail to achieve the desired effect, that is, they cannot achieve the purpose of forging a golden body to prolong their own lifespan.
In that case, for such people, practicing astrology is nothing more than realizing the feeling of having power, but it is all the time of life. In this way, it doesn't seem like a very cost-effective option.
After all, if strength was needed, it was not much stronger than what science could do before forging the golden body. Like the thousand-ton crane that the Ocean Country already has, it can lift thousands of tons of heavy objects vertically at a time, and with the strength of the star magician, at least it needs to reach the realm of moving mountains or even above to do it. As for the destructive power, although the astral magicians before the Void Breaking Realm were powerful in terms of individual destructive power, they were not worth mentioning at all compared to the powerful destructive power possessed by scientifically made weapons, especially thermonuclear weapons.
Although the various weapons that ordinary people can master are definitely not comparable to those of astral magicians, the cultivation is immortality, not the cultivation for the sake of destruction. The astral magician's increase in attack power is just to have the power of self-preservation in the chaotic astral world, not to regard destruction as the purpose of cultivation.
There may be many people who yearn for the feeling of being able to be above others, but if they are not qualified enough, they are just a small person struggling at the bottom in the astral world. In such a situation, as long as the thinking is quite normal, he will definitely consider his cultivation speed, whether he can successfully forge a golden body and jump his life level before his life reaches the limit of his lifespan. If you can't do it, then it's better to devote all your life to ordinary life, with an increasingly rich material society like the Ocean Country, to provide ordinary people with a stage to display their talents, and to be able to give ordinary people enjoyment, which is far more than the benefits that can be brought by practicing astrology, in addition to not having the powerful attack power of an astrologist, ordinary people's lives can be very exciting.
Speaking of which, if you don't mention the destructive power that individuals have, and the extremely low probability of being able to successfully forge alchemy, you can extend your own lifespan, just in terms of life, in a developed scientific and technological civilized society, there is no worse than an astrology, and even because of the short and wonderful life, it seems to attract ordinary people to participate in social activities.
Astrologists who have reached the realm of flying can fly, if in the past, it may make many ordinary people yearn for this, or they may have a sense of awe for the ability of astrologists to fly freely, but now the ocean country has a large number of flying machines, as long as they are citizens of the ocean country, if they really need it, they can rely on their social credit points or personal accumulated wealth to experience the feeling of "trapeze". The astrologist of the Sky Breaking Realm may be able to leave the atmosphere for a short time, but the scientific and technological civilization of the Ocean Country can also launch a spacecraft in a low-altitude orbit with a rocket under certain conditions...... Although because of the huge size of this planet, the gravitational force is correspondingly very strong, so the Ocean Country has not yet succeeded in launching a spacecraft that escapes the gravity of the planet, but it is because there are many high-level astrologers in the Ocean Country, and there is no urgent need for this aspect, so it is caused by not focusing on the research of aerospace science and technology.
Seriously speaking, since the maritime states are capable of producing various types of cruise missiles and intercontinental missiles, it will not be too difficult to achieve the goal of flying out of the atmosphere if they increase the size of the missiles and increase the amount of solid or liquid fuel. It's just that this is just that compared to using a sorcerer to transport various satellites, the cost is very high, and it seems very uneconomical.
In other words, what an astrologist can do, can basically be done with the methods of technology, but what can be done by technology, astrology may not be able to do. For example, the World Wide Web, which was born out of Xin Yu's memory, has entered the ocean country of the information age, and any ordinary person can use a satellite phone to communicate with the people they want to communicate with in real time, which is difficult for an astrologist to do...... Perhaps for some astromagicians, they can use the telecommunication star treasure to achieve the purpose of instant communication, but the "cost" and rarity of the communication star treasure are definitely not accessible to ordinary astromagicians.
In a comprehensive comparison, as long as they are more rational people, if they are sure that they are not very talented in cultivation, and the hope of achieving the alchemy body is very slim, the vast majority of ordinary people will give up their efforts in cultivation and choose to devote their lives to a more exciting ordinary life.
Under such circumstances, the "talents" engaged in scientific research and industrial production will not wither due to the "temptation" of astrology. Although ordinary people are engaged in scientific research and can achieve very limited results, the number of ordinary people is almost tens of thousands of times the base number compared to those special people with astral talents, or a small number of human beings.
With such a large number of human beings pushing forward, the speed of the laws of scientific civilization is definitely much faster than that of cultivating civilization. Although in terms of theoretical research, it is not that the more people there are, the more results can be achieved, but after all, most of the methods of scientific research are completed through experiments and experiments, even if the most stupid methods are used, after accumulating countless experimental data, we can find laws closer to reality.
Therefore, what Xin Kong wanted was to use the rapid characteristics of scientific development to fulfill the oath he had made to Heaven as soon as possible. If all goes well, maybe a century...... There is no such thing as a century or a few years in this world, in fact, it is a thousand years, and the ocean country and even this continent will achieve the purpose of promoting the progress of the entire human civilization and even supplementing the laws of the universe because of the extreme development of scientific civilization.
However, that is when everything goes well, and the so-called demand will have a market. On the earth of Xin Yu's previous life, because of the two world wars, many science and technology were born, especially scientific achievements based on nuclear energy technology, which were catalyzed by wars. In addition, the development of aerospace and information technology also started from the Cold War between the two superpowers, and the science and technology competition was born.
Although because of the limited resources on the earth, almost all countries are vigorously developing aerospace science and technology, hoping to obtain more resources and energy from outer space, but compared with the catalyst of war, in an environment where peaceful development is at most only capital competition, the speed of progress of scientific and technological civilization has suddenly slowed down.
And looking at the environment in which the Ocean Country is located, because the scientific and technological level of the Ocean Country itself has far surpassed that of other countries in this world, and it can even wrestle with the top forces in the astral world, plus Xin Yu and Chen Linqiang are already super powerhouses like Qin Liyang, the possibility of war under normal circumstances is almost impossible.
Without the catalyst of war, and the land area of this world is so vast, the number of human beings who need to be supported is so "scarce...... Proportionally speaking, in this way, there is no urgent existential crisis, and there is no serious energy and resource crisis, and it is debatable whether the scientific and technological level of the maritime countries can still maintain the rapid development of the previous decades.
If you want to develop into a super civilization within a thousand years, even Xinkong himself is not very sure. After all, although after being the lord of the ocean country for more than ten or twenty years, Xin Kong also has a relatively clear understanding of the development of scientific and technological civilization, but he is not a traveler after all...... In fact, it is a traverser like Xin Yu who has memories of his previous life that can be used for reference, and when the scientific and technological level of the Ocean Country has been on par with his previous life, he has also lost his foresight in this regard, not to mention a layman like Xin Kong who does not have a deep understanding of science.
In addition, if Xin Kong, Chen Linqiang and Qin Liyang and other super powerhouses leave this world, maybe the Ocean Country does need the danger of war, but at that time, what the Ocean Country needs to challenge is definitely not those worldly countries that are still in the chaotic use of hot and cold weapons, but the power of the astral world with many strong people, in that case, it would be good for the Ocean Country to be able to protect itself, and want to promote the development of science and technology...... Hehe, it's still more difficult
