The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 499: Science Assistance, Volcano Cannon (6K)

Ronald nodded when he heard it, tapping his fingers on the keyboard, and following the instructions of the "old immortal" step by step. After passing a series of complex encryption verification processes, he entered the "Personal Status" page.

The page is simple and technological, and the blue and white tones make people feel calm. There is a blank area in the center, and several eye-catching buttons next to it: "Import Data", "Start Modeling", and "View Report".

He clicked "Import Data" without hesitation, and then selected the file carefully prepared by the "old immortal" from the encrypted USB flash drive he carried with him. The file name was "Ronald_Tang_Physiological_Data".

The speed of uploading the file was unexpectedly fast. After a few seconds, the screen showed lines of complex data streams and a slowly rotating three-dimensional human body model. As the data was analyzed, it became clearer: "Uploading... Data verification... Model construction started..."

"Modeling will take some time. You can take this opportunity to browse the information on the forum. You may find something interesting." In the headphones, the voice of the "old immortal" sounded leisurely, as if he already knew everything.

Ronald followed his instructions, turned off the heat of the hot pot, and turned his eyes to the forum homepage. There were a wide variety of posts, ranging from ancient cultivation secrets to cutting-edge scientific exploration.

He was first attracted by a post titled "Lancelot Family Sincerely Invites: Explore the Mystery of King Arthur and Avalon Together."

When I clicked on the link, I saw that the poster claimed to be a descendant of the Lancelot family. He said that his family had ancient documents about King Arthur and his mysterious kingdom of Avalon, and he was willing to share the information with like-minded explorers to jointly uncover the veil of history.

Just as he was about to read further, another post caught his eye - "On the commonalities and verification plans between the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth and dark matter", which detailed a VIP user with the ID of Elizabeth, who claimed that she was about to cooperate with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

It is said that she has obtained relevant detection data from the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) over the years, and tried to use modern scientific and technological means to verify the potential connection between the ancient theory of qi and the concept of dark matter in modern physics based on a related paper written privately by a friend.

Next, Elizabeth plans to use cutting-edge equipment such as the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, underground xenon detectors, and the Solar Axion Telescope to explore the interaction mechanism between the vital energy of heaven and earth and microscopic particles such as dark matter, Higgs particles, positrons and electrons, and neutrino oscillations.

Although Ronald is not an expert in physics, he can feel the profound significance of this research. It seems to indicate that the seemingly insurmountable gap between spiritual practice and science is being filled bit by bit.

Continuing to browse, he saw for the first time a new post by one of the forum administrators, a user with the ID Zhao Qing, and was attracted by her theory of "transcranial magnetic stimulator-assisted meditation to treat brain aging."

In the post, the other party elaborated in detail that the real reason for brain aging is not simply the death of nerve cells, but the abnormal function of some nerve cells, which leads to abnormal discharges or chronic inflammation, thereby affecting the overall brain function.

This is also the reason why those who have achieved a high level of spiritual cultivation do not experience brain aging. Although their neurons will still die, they are able to control the abnormal discharge of neurons, thereby maximizing the ideal state of the brain.

This view made Ronald's eyes light up. He remembered that he had encountered similar problems during his practice. Adjusting his own aura through specific meditation methods can indeed effectively relieve brain discomfort.

Then, he browsed through the discussion posts on the forum about exoskeleton equipment assisting semi-automatic yoga practice with the help of special medicines, the fasting effect of compressed energy pills, and the Dantian massager optimizing the warming and nourishing effect of true qi, which made Ronald dazzled.

"Speaking of which, I have always dreamed of becoming an explorer like Indiana Jones, traveling to every corner of the world, looking for lost treasures and unknown civilizations. However, now it seems that my path is going to be broader..."

"Old Immortal, do you think I can try to combine these technologies with my practice?" Ronald" Ronald chewed beef and asked vaguely to the "old immortal" in the headset.

"This is natural. The 'Diversified Extraordinary Mutual Aid Exchange Official Website' is not only a communication platform, but also a comprehensive system integrating technology, medicine, and spiritual practice."

The hearty laughter of the "old immortal" came from the headphones, "The path of cultivation should not be limited to one style. As long as there is a way in my heart, everything can be used for my benefit. However, remember to do it within your ability... Speaking of which, your comprehensive modeling should have been completed."

When Ronald switched back to the original page, a highly realistic 3D human model had appeared on the screen.

Not only does it look identical to Ronald, but the vascular network, muscle texture, and even bone structure beneath the skin are all clearly visible. Even the subtle and hard-to-detect meridian acupoints in his body are presented in astonishing detail.

Even more surprising is that as the data is further analyzed, different colored halos begin to emerge on the surface of the model, corresponding to different physiological states - green represents health and activity, yellow indicates potential imbalance, and the occasional flash of red warns of areas that need special attention.

"How amazing! Is this really me? I only knew about the twenty main meridians before, but I didn't expect there were so many tiny branches." Ronald widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at himself who was spinning and zooming on the screen as if he were alive.

He seemed to be able to see every subtle change inside his body through the screen. That kind of intuitive and profound understanding was an experience he had never had before, as if life itself was being dissected so delicately.

"Yes, this is your digital twin. It can not only reflect your physical condition in real time, but also provide the most accurate practice guidance based on your physical characteristics." In the headset, the voice of the "old immortal" was full of praise, "Next, I will guide you to conduct a deeper exploration."

Following the guidance of the "old immortal", Ronald clicked on the "Practice Guidance" option on the interface.

Suddenly, the screen split into two, with the left side displaying a detailed physical analysis report, covering everything from the circulation of qi and blood to the degree of smoothness of the meridians, to the strength of the internal organs;

On the right side is a personalized practice plan, which not only includes the breathing method suitable for his current physical condition, but also thoughtfully marks the daily practice schedule and precautions.

"Your physique is more masculine, which is suitable for practicing strong and domineering internal skills, but there are several nodes in your meridians that are slightly congested, affecting the smooth flow of qi and blood. At the same time, your nervous system reacts quickly, but your emotions fluctuate greatly. You need to learn to control your mind in order to achieve the state of unity between the inside and the outside."

The system interpreted the report in a mechanical yet gentle voice: "Your 'Xinshu' acupoint is relatively sensitive, so it is suitable to be stimulated with gentle techniques to promote the improvement of heart function... Finally, you also need to pay attention to harmonizing yin and yang to avoid excessive internal heat causing retrograde flow of qi and blood."

"Great! What's next?" Ronald asked impatiently.

"Next, you can use the advanced equipment in the car to monitor your brain function, nervous system and cardiovascular status in real time." In the headphones, the voice of the "old immortal" was full of expectation:
“This will help the website program further optimize your practice plan and ensure that your body and mind are in the best condition during the practice.”

Following the instructions of the "old immortal", Ronald began to wear the near-infrared functional brain imaging (fNIRS) device in the car. Several beams of soft infrared light gently shone on his scalp, silently capturing the hemodynamic changes under the cerebral cortex.

At the same time, electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes were placed on his forehead and temples, recording the subtle fluctuations of electrical signals; and electrocardiogram (ECG) leads were connected to his chest, monitoring every beat of his heart.

The data from these devices are transmitted to a computer in real time and closely synchronized with the digital twin to form a complete physiological monitoring system, and the 3D model on the screen seems to come alive.

With every breath and heartbeat of Ronald, the light and shadow in his body fluctuated accordingly. The data stream on the side exported reports in real time, showing the most real physiological state of his body.

"Now, let's experience the magical effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)."

As the "old immortal" finished speaking, a portable transcranial magnetic stimulator was gently placed on Ronald's head. This is a high-tech device that uses electromagnetic fields to regulate the excitability of the cerebral cortex.

Under the remote control of the "old immortal", the electrodes of the instrument emitted weak electric currents, penetrating the scalp and acting precisely on specific areas of his brain, effectively reducing the meaningless noise in neural activity, making his thinking clearer and his mind gradually empty.

Of course, an ordinary transcranial magnetic stimulation device cannot achieve this, but after Zhao Qing's special regulation and brain activity data modeling, and the incorporation of many profound healing techniques, it is enough to achieve this.

At first, Ronald only felt a slight tingling sensation, but soon he found that his mind became unusually clear. The chaotic thoughts in his mind seemed to be swept away by an invisible force, and his heart gradually entered a state of emptiness.

He tried to follow the breathing method taught by the "old immortal", breathing in and out slowly. Every breath was accompanied by the flow of spiritual energy in his body, as if the whole world became peaceful and harmonious.

"Is this the state of mind emptiness?" Ronald secretly marveled in his heart. In this state, his practice efficiency was significantly improved. Every time he breathed in and out, he could feel more spiritual energy pouring into his body, flowing slowly along the meridians and acupoints, nourishing his body and soul.

At the same time, the environment inside the car is also adjusted to the best state for cultivation by the intelligent system. Soft lighting, appropriate temperature, and gentle classical music together create a nearly perfect environment for cultivation.

……

As Ronald Tang's practice went more and more smoothly, Zhao Qing, who was thousands of miles away on the island of Hawaii, right above the Mauna Loa volcano, also received relevant brain nerve detection information. He thought deeply and concluded that Lao Tang's amnesia should have nothing to do with the synaptic connection state of the brain nerves.

Generally speaking, Old Tang is just a form of Norton with amnesia and without awakening the Dragon King bloodline, so the personality and soul are the same. After all, amnesia is just the forgetting of memory or the failure to retrieve it, and it itself will not produce a new personality, unless the reason for the amnesia is unusual.

But according to Zhao Qing's current test, although Ronald Tang's talent for cultivation is good, it is obviously still far from the complete state. He does not have a special physique as she predicted, and cannot directly practice high-level true fire techniques. This makes her think a lot.

In addition, Zhao Qing had sensed it earlier, but her telepathy failed to read the other party's potential memory. This was quite interesting. It helped her rule out some hypotheses about the principle of high-level dragon cocooning ability, narrowing the scope to a very small extent. As for the other hypothesis, the possibility of the neuronal gene memory mechanism involved, that is, the memory that Old Tang lost was stored at the molecular level in the neurons, was also surprisingly small.

Let me explain in detail here. A complex network of activity-dependent genes is activated inside neurons, and their gene expression mechanism also changes at the epigenetics level, thus giving them independent memory storage capabilities.

Modern brain science research points out that neurons have already responded 1.5 seconds before a person's consciousness makes a decision. In other words, consciousness based on neural networks always shows a delay, which makes many researchers doubt the existence of free will.

Different from the consciousness under this concept, in Zhao Qing's speculation, manas is a high-dimensional quantum field with real-time feedback, similar to Roger Penrose's quantum soul theory, which may involve microscopic quantum gravitational effects.

When manas develops to a certain level, by directional manipulation of its self-observation and collapse process, it is possible to completely take over the neural network where consciousness is located, and even act autonomously without the brain.

His telepathy targets the manas and alaya consciousness. When the other person's spiritual realm is not high, he can predict his next behavior in advance and know what he is thinking earlier than his consciousness. Even if he cannot read it due to mental protection, he can still find out a lot of information.

As for the consciousness and neuronal memory in the brain nerves, although they are at a lower level, they cannot be analyzed by "telepathy" and require the use of scientific and technological means. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the "cocoon" stores memory information when it is first created.

Originally, Zhao Qing speculated that Ronald Tang's amnesia was due to the fact that Norton was severely traumatized when he died two thousand years ago. The planned cocooning resurrection program went wrong, and the reincarnation memory stored in the Alaya consciousness was not downloaded to the shallow soul and brain.

Specifying a goal after reincarnation is not an extremely difficult task. The evil dragon living in the lake of the Temple of War in the previous world was the result of Chi You's repeated reincarnations in the same body. There are precedents to follow and it is completely understandable.

However, as the carrier of reincarnation memory, Alaya consciousness should carry the marks of reincarnation for countless lifetimes and have the characteristic of eternity and immortality.

However, under attacks with special properties such as the Sun's True Fire that are powerful enough to destroy the soul, the Alaya Consciousness located at the core of the soul, the information stored in it will still be disturbed or cleared, thus losing the possibility of reincarnation and all traces of the individual will be completely eliminated.

Logically speaking, many super spirits should also have such ability, especially the spirits of destruction among the Dragon Kings. Therefore, high-level dragons cannot be truly killed if they leave cocoons. This may mean that this is not a regular reincarnation and memory awakening, but another reason.

In fact, when Zhao Qing was sensing Ronald Tang's "telepathy", he did not encounter any strong mental protection, but successfully penetrated into it and only read the other party's life experience since he was seven or eight years old. Before that, there was nothing at all.

In other words, this seemed to be a brand new Alaya consciousness, a "soul container" that Norton had created using advanced alchemy when he was making the cocoon for his resurrection. It was pure and flawless, without any mark of reincarnation, which made Zhao Qing vaguely guess something.

At the same time, she also knew that although she seemed to have a deep understanding of deep consciousness, the gap between her and ordinary people was almost like that between humans and microorganisms. She had cultivated pure and immaculate consciousness, celestial spirit, and the realm of chaos and darkness, but most of it was just the performance of the "instinct" level.

Although they can use it freely and display all kinds of magical powers, it is just like the brain of ordinary people. They use the wisdom in it every day, but their understanding of it is quite limited. There is still huge room for improvement.

"It seems that a deeper study of Old Tang's peculiarities may reveal the true secret of the cocooning method..." Her heart moved slightly. Relying on her in-depth research on the brain, thinking memory, and personality, she was quite confident that Old Tang would take the dominant position after Norton awakened.

As for Lu Mingfei, the protagonist of "Dragon Tribe", it is difficult to say what the relationship between him and Lu Mingze is. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be much more complicated and involves the "supreme" power above the first generation.

……

While thinking about this question, Zhao Qing looked up at the azure blue sky at a very high altitude. His eyes penetrated through the layers of clouds and locked onto a US reconnaissance satellite, the KH-260 "Keyhole", which was worth billions of dollars and was in low-Earth orbit at an altitude of about 11 kilometers.

Although she had intentionally acted as bait to attract the enemy's attention, she naturally could not have a good attitude towards a guy who was specifically targeting her. She had long planned to target KH-11 and give a serious warning to the forces behind the satellite, demonstrating her own powerful military force.

As Zhao Qing gently waved his hands, an invisible force descended from the sky and reached the depths of the volcano. In an instant, the edge of the originally calm crater began to wriggle, and streams of hot lava roared like an awakened dragon, breaking through its restraints and spraying into the sky.

These lava did not erupt randomly, but were carefully guided by Zhao Qing to form a spectacular lava fountain. The moment each stream of lava left the crater and came into contact with the cold air and wind outside, it instantly cooled and solidified, turning into thousands of fine filaments.

Then, the sulfur elements hidden in the lava filaments that looked like long black hair floating in the wind seemed to be given life. They gathered together and gradually built a huge fire element alchemy array around her, which slowly sank and merged into the wide crater.

Sulfur, as an excellent conductor of fire energy, showed its amazing power in Zhao Qing's hands at this moment. With the volcano as the base, lava as the guide, and sulfur element as the medium, the surrounding fire energy was continuously gathered here, forming a majestic torrent of energy.

With the help of the fire element alchemy array, Zhao Qing not only guided the volcano to erupt on a small scale, but also created an unprecedented "volcanic cannon" in the crater. Its caliber and length were so huge that they far exceeded any man-made cannon in history.

Even the famous Barbados Cannon, which is 36 meters long, 424 mm in diameter and can fire 90 kg shells to an altitude of 180 kilometers, seems dwarfed by it and has a far different power.

Mauna Loa volcano covers an area of ​​more than 5180 square kilometers and has a volume of 7.5 cubic kilometers. It is the largest mountain in the world. Its total energy is not inferior to the famous Yellowstone volcano, but its eruptions are too frequent and the power of a single eruption is relatively weak.

After several minutes of energy storage and extremely precise analysis and calculation, the volcanic cannon suddenly let out a dull roar, and a ball of high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor was ejected into the orbit of the satellite under the precise control of Zhao Qing and the alchemy matrix.

Water vapor, a seemingly gentle and harmless natural substance, turns into a deadly weapon in the low-pressure space.

They quickly spread and condensed, forming large pieces of ice crystals that were pre-controlled and arranged in a line, flashing a light silver light, forming a short-lived suspended cloud in space, which happened to intercept in front of the orbit of the KH-11 "Keyhole" satellite, which was completely unaware that it had entered a desperate situation.

When the ice crystal cloud collided with the satellite at a relative speed of about 7.9 kilometers per second, everything exploded in an instant. Those seemingly fragile tiny ice crystals showed incredible destructive power at this moment.

They were like countless sharp blades, cutting the satellite's expensive and extremely precise optical lenses into pieces in an instant. Then, like a violent storm, they mercilessly bombarded the satellite's outer shell, leaving it riddled with holes. All kinds of precision instruments failed in the chaos.

Eventually, the communication and control systems of the KH-11 Keyhole reconnaissance satellite were paralyzed one by one, and it lost contact with the ground. It turned into a ball of scrap metal with a significantly reduced speed, became part of space junk, and slowly fell into the atmosphere below under the influence of the Earth's gravity.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I can do nothing to you?"

Zhao Qing was pleased to see that the target satellite had been destroyed, knowing that it would not be easy for the enemy to replenish such a spy satellite. This thing weighs about 20 tons, and its optical lens is even better than that of the Hubble Telescope, and its manufacturing process is extremely complicated.

If the military of Country M is not completely controlled by the mastermind behind issuing the surveillance order, and is aware of it and believes that the latter is actually an illegal call, it will certainly investigate further, which may very likely trigger a series of internal riots and cause far greater losses than a single satellite.

Finally, there were no eyes in the sky anymore, so she could naturally go home.

On the way back, Zhao Qing's thoughts couldn't help but drift to farther places.

During this use of the volcano's tremendous energy, he discovered that the theoretical authority of the King of Bronze and Fire was beyond his imagination. He decided to continue researching various methods involving volcanoes and fire energy to increase his adaptability to the environment.

Few people have noticed that from the perspective of the entire planet, the dominant element on Earth is actually the fire element. The reason is very simple. Although the global average temperature near the surface is around 15 degrees Celsius, the average temperature is much higher when the mantle and core below the surface are included.

Since the mass of the atmosphere and crust is insignificant compared to the mantle and core, in general, the average temperature of the earth is as high as over two thousand degrees. The temperature of the core is between 4000 and 6800 degrees Celsius, which is the location of the earth's main energy. It is mainly composed of iron and nickel elements. The concentration of fire and gold elements can reach extremely high levels.

Taking into account that a considerable part of the mantle and core is solid, the reserves of earth element energy should be second only to fire and metal, followed by water element energy which plays a dominant role in the ocean. The least is wood element energy which represents wind and thunder, which is basically linked to the atmosphere.

Of course, if we look at it mainly from the perspective of humans on the surface, the ranking of the five elements and the four elements would be reversed.

The wind element is the number one. It is omnipresent and pervasive, and can easily affect every corner of the earth. Therefore, the god of wind and the god of thunder also have the highest status in the ancient myths of many civilizations and are deeply revered and worshipped.

In comparison, also analyzing from the range of the entire planet, Mercury has the most gold element energy, Mars has the most earth element energy, the gas giants may have more wood element energy, and the ice giants have more water element energy. It can be said that there are differences and similarities.

In order to make the best use of the earth's overall energy environment, we must start with the fire and metal energies.

A magnitude 6 eruption of the Tonga volcano could spray water vapor into outer space. Under special control, other large volcanoes can theoretically reach this level of local eruption intensity.
