I studied abroad in modern times

Night in the nursing home.

Zheng Fa sat on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand.

The tea was the Forgetful Tea cultivated in the nursing home, which suited Zheng Fa's mood at this time.

Recently, under the threat of the Demon Ancestor of the Xuanwei Realm, Zheng Fa was actually under a lot of pressure.

But now he is the master of the Jiushan Realm and the backbone of the Jiushan Sect. This pressure can only be borne alone and not revealed to outsiders.

It is in the nursing home that he can temporarily find some comfort.

There is a clear breeze and bright moon in the mountains, a starry sky above his head, and good teachers and friends around him.

His mood also relaxed unconsciously.

The old man was talking to Teacher Tian with his head tilted. Teacher Tian was amused and patted him gently.

Tang Lingwu was lying on the chair, stretching out his hand, as if stroking the wind.

Tang Mudao looked up at the sky, as if sighing.

Zheng Fa looked at him curiously.

"In fact, DNA is a miracle, and the universe is also a miracle." As if he noticed Zheng Fa's gaze, Tang Mudao said, "In cosmology, there is a very controversial theory called fine-tuning cosmology."

"Fine-tuning cosmology?"

Hearing him say this, the old man Bai and others also looked over.

"You also know that there are some constants in the universe that determine the structure and evolution of the universe, such as the gravitational constant, the electromagnetic force constant, the mass of protons, the ratio of dark matter and dark energy..."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, did not speak, just listened to Professor Tang's continued explanation.

"On the other hand, if these constants change a little bit, then the universe will not be what it is now." Thinking of this, Tang Mudao turned his head and looked at Zheng Fa.

"For example, if the gravitational constant is large, all stars will collapse. If the gravitational constant is small, the stars will scatter, and planets cannot be formed at all."

"If the electromagnetic force constant is large, chemical reactions will be very difficult, and complex molecules such as DNA cannot be formed at all."

"If it is small, then no elements can be produced."

Tang Lingwu was very interested and asked softly: "What is the range?"

"If the electromagnetic force constant changes by more than 4%, the sun will explode immediately. And the mass of the proton must be accurate to 32 decimal places before elements other than hydrogen atoms can be produced in the universe."

The old man frowned and said, "The probability is too small."

Tang Mudao looked at the stars, not knowing what he was thinking, but just said: "We now know about 32 independent cosmological constants like this. If every cosmological constant is accidental and happens to be within this range..."

"Well, it's almost impossible."

Zheng Fa roughly understood what Tang Mudao was saying.

"Professor Tang, you mean..."

Tang Mudao shook his head, his tone vague: "There are roughly two explanations for this problem - the multiverse hypothesis and the intelligent design theory."

"The multiverse is easy to understand. The cosmological constant is indeed not fixed, but the number of universes is infinite, and we just happen to be in such a universe."

Tang Lingwu understood: "It's just like the number of planets is almost infinite, but we just happen to be on a habitable planet?"

"That's about it."

"Intelligent design theory..." Tang Mudao paused for a while, and there was some uncertainty in his words: "It's just thinking, is our universe designed?"

"..."

Zheng Fa understood why Tang Mudao said this - the correspondence between the five elements magic and reality, perhaps, is man-made?

The similarity between DNA and wood magic is a deliberate design?

"If I said before, I supported the multiverse hypothesis...but now, there are immortals."

Everyone stopped talking, just looked up and looked at the galaxy above their heads. The starry sky was silent, but it hid thousands of words.

…

"So, we have probably figured out the five elements of spiritual materials." The old man shook his head, as if he wanted to put these unclear things behind him, and said: "Then how do you consider your life magic weapon?"

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said slowly:

"From the perspective of material, each spiritual material has its own characteristics. For example, the gold spiritual material is similar to metal, with toughness and sharpness, and is often the most suitable for killing magic weapons."

This is what he summed up from Xiao Yuying's treasure house.

"And I want to make a magic weapon similar to a server. The most important parts are actually three:"

"Information transmission."

"Storage."

"Calculation."

Everyone can understand this.

"Calculation, I can rely on the aura circuit. In the future, as my cultivation level improves, the more perfect the aura circuit is, the stronger the computing power should be."

"That's right, didn't they design many corresponding circuit diagrams for you before?"

The old man also remembered.

"Information transmission, I plan to use the communication talisman to achieve it."

The analysis of the communication talisman is the source of Zheng Fa's desire to transform into a server.

"It's just storage..." Zheng Fa said slowly, "It probably needs the help of spiritual materials."

"What spiritual materials?"

The old man asked curiously.

"Jade!" Zheng Fa explained, "Many secret manuals of cultivating immortals are stored in jade tubes... This is based on the characteristics of jade, a spiritual material."

"What characteristics?"

"Jade is an earth-based spiritual material, which is mainly used to contain everything, and is very suitable for storing information."

Jade spiritual materials are relatively common in the Xuanwei world. As Zheng Fa said, jade tubes are an application of jade spiritual materials - this kind of spiritual material has extremely strong information storage capacity and is used as a server. “Hard drive” couldn’t be more appropriate.

After hearing his words, everyone knew that he indeed had a plan.

"Server," Old Man Bai fell back and muttered, "can our research and other things be stored in your magic weapon in the future?"

"I can't believe that your thing will really be able to store three thousand avenues in the future..."

Having said this, Old Man Bai suddenly frowned and said, "Why do I feel that this thing sounds familiar?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the old man had thought of.

"Three thousand avenues, jade..." Old Man Bai thought hard for a while, then suddenly took out his mobile phone, opened an online novel, slapped his thigh and said, "I'll just say it!"

"Um?"

"Isn't this thing of yours just a jade ultimatum of good fortune?"

"..."

Old Man Bai looked at Zheng Fa with an "I've seen through you" expression.

Zheng Fa: ...This old man’s reading is a bit too complicated!

But he thought for a long time and then said: "If there is really a magic weapon that can carry three thousand avenues...then, why not?"

Old Man Bai was stunned and suddenly understood that Zheng Fa really had great expectations for his own magic weapon.

Zheng Fa was caught up in his own thoughts. He did not dare to say that he understood what the Dao was. Just like he named the journal "Immortal Dao", all he could do was actually use the wisdom of other people to pursue the Dao. .

After a few conversations, they each went back to their rooms to practice.

But early the next morning, there was a knock on Zheng Fa's door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Lingwu standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Go out for a walk~"

Tang Lingwu didn't say anything, just took Zheng Fa's arm and walked outside the nursing home.

Old Man Bai and the other three were watching the two young men in the yard, but they didn't come to join in. They smiled as they walked out of the nursing home.

Zheng Fa didn't know what Tang Lingwu was going to do. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse and took a taxi with Tang Lingwu.

As the car drove from Hongshan to the capital, Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu, but Tang Lingwu kept looking out the window, as if deliberately not looking at Zheng Fa... mysteriously.

Seeing Tang Lingwu's appearance, Zheng Fa simply stopped asking and let her do whatever she wanted.

After getting out of the car, he discovered that the two of them had arrived at a school.

Judging from the height of the students, this school should be an elementary school.

Tang Lingwu and Zheng Fa stood outside the school railing, as if waiting for something.

It was morning at this time, the bell rang during recess, and groups of students poured out of the classroom and walked to the playground, standing in rows.

The music for radio gymnastics plays.

Zheng Fa had some guesses in his mind, and sure enough...these gymnastics students were doing the same set of radio gymnastics compiled by Jiushan Martial Arts School before.

Their movements were a bit unfamiliar, but each of them was very serious.

Under the morning sun, their uneven movements gave Zheng Fa a feeling called hope.

"I don't know what you are worried about..."

At this time, Tang Lingwu finally spoke.

Zheng Fa turned to look at her and saw that she was also looking at the students with a smile on her face: "But whether it's radio gymnastics or Jiushan No. 1, you've done a good job..."

After Tang Lingwu said this, she said nothing more. The two looked side by side at the students in the playground, speechless but worth a thousand words.

…

Zheng Fa's good mood lasted for many days.

"Junior brother Zheng, why do I think you have been smiling today?"

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly looked at Zheng Fa and asked curiously.

"Shouldn't I laugh?"

"A few days ago you...tsk tsk."

"Do you think I can't tell you're unhappy?"

Senior Sister Yuan said proudly.

"...I'm sure you can't tell, Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister Zhang said that!"

Senior Sister Yuan's smile fell and she said honestly.

Tang Lingwu made Zheng Fa realize one thing - maybe the Jiushan world will die, but he has also changed many things, whether it is radio gymnastics or Jiushan No. 1, they are all affecting modern times.

That's why I'm so happy.

When the two of them talked about Senior Sister Zhang, they saw Senior Sister Zhang coming from outside the door and handed Zheng Fa a jade tube: "These are jade spiritual materials common in the Xuanwei world."

"There are also some common jade artifacts."

"This," Senior Sister Zhang took out another jade tube and said, "This is the spiritual energy circuit I drew based on your drawings."

Zheng Fa made some corresponding circuit drawings in modern times - much simpler than the previous ones. After all, he wanted to realize artificial intelligence before, but this time, he just wanted to build a server...

Real technology downgrade.

Just upgrade slowly in the future.

Senior Sister Zhang sat next to Zheng Fa and said with some uncertainty: "Are you really planning to make a magic weapon that has no offensive power at all and cannot protect yourself?"

"...Senior Sister, didn't you already know that?"

"This was the other, and now the situation is different after all."

Senior Sister Zhang said after being silent for a while.

Zheng Fa knew what she meant. Now that the threat from the Demon Ancestor was outside, the value of the killing and defensive magic weapons had increased again.

but……

"Senior sister, this is where my path lies, junior brother..." Zheng Fa was silent for a while and said, "The threat of the Demon Ancestor will not make me change."

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head, stopped trying to persuade her, and said, "Mrs. Xuanhua has made several samples, waiting for you to take a look."

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang came to the University Island.

There were several samples on the table in Madam Xuanhua's laboratory. She saw Zheng Fa coming and pointed at the samples with a little pride on her face.

"According to your naming method - this is prototype No. 1. The storage capacity is not enough. I later found out that it was a material problem. This kind of jade is not suitable for storing information."

"The problem with prototype No. 2 is that it is not easy to form an aura circuit, that is, the aura is insufficient."

"The problem with prototype No. 3 is that it is not easy to integrate with other spiritual materials..."

Zheng Fa nodded while listening, and was quite grateful in his heart - Madam Xuanhua was definitely attentive.

The drawings and concepts of his own life treasure all came from modern times, but the manufacturing relied on Madam Xuanhua and Senior Sister Zhang:

Senior Sister Zhang was responsible for designing the aura circuit.

Madam Xuanhua was responsible for the actual manufacturing experiment.

"In the end, prototype No. 4 was the most perfect one we tested. The soul jade performed well in information storage, aura affinity and integration with other spiritual materials..."

Madam Xuanhua waved her hand, not caring much about Zheng Fa's gratitude, but pointed to the last prototype.

Zheng Fa looked at the prototype No. 4. It was a magical instrument that looked like a jade tablet. It was obvious that the appearance of this product was rather sloppy... After all, it was just an experiment.

"The best thing about the soul jade is that it is cheap!"

Madam Xuanhua said again.

"I have seen your design. If you want your soul treasure to work, you have to cooperate with your so-called... mobile phone?"

When she mentioned the word mobile phone, her expression was a little puzzled, and she didn't seem to understand why Zheng Fa chose such a strange name.

"It's just a random code name. It's not impossible to change it." Zheng Fa said with a little embarrassment.

Madam Xuanhua didn't care, but just said: "Although this mobile phone is simpler than your soul treasure, it also needs a lot of soul jade."

Zheng Fa nodded gently.

It's naturally not enough to have a server alone...

Mobile phones, or personal terminals, must be promoted.

Otherwise, the meaning of Zheng Fa's transformation into a server will be lost.

Even according to the words of Tianhe Venerable, it is best not to use external spiritual materials to cast soul treasures-that is to say, Zheng Fa actually only needs to simulate the soul jade, not really need the soul jade.

But the soul jade is not unimportant - just as Madam Xuanhua said, this thing can be used to make a mobile phone.

The "mobile phone" in Zheng Fa's plan is a terminal with relatively weak computing power but can receive and send messages.

In other words, Zheng Fa is equivalent to a "cloud server", which can also reduce the cost of the "mobile phone" and promote it better.

At this point, Madam Xuanhua suddenly sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the communication talisman would be played by you..."

Zheng Fa smiled slightly and wanted to say something, but suddenly shut up and stretched out his hand.

A communication talisman appeared in his hand.

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but look at him, and heard Zheng Fa laugh: "News about Yan Wushuang."

"Huh?"

"He came to Chenjun with his senior sister..."

"He came pretty fast."

Senior Sister Zhang also laughed.

Tianhe sent it so quickly, I'm afraid... it's more urgent than they thought.

It's better to be in a hurry...
