Chapter 1744 - 1746: Mad Scientist
"Xiaobu!"
Xiao Zhi saw Lu Xiaobu inside the receiving station and immediately shouted.
However, the thick, soundproof receiving station walls couldn’t transmit sound, and one could only see it from his lip movements.
Lu Xiaobu smiled and walked inside from the side entrance.
Like a space capsule’s entry mode, the entrance here is not just a single door, but a full three doors.
In fact, rather than calling it a door, it’s more of a passage.
After stepping through the first door, the door behind him slowly closed, sealing the environment from the outside completely.
Subsequently, Shi Yi took on the role of a guide, pointing to several outfits resembling spacesuits and said, "These are what people wear when they usually go out."
Lu Xiaobu nodded to indicate his understanding.
At this moment, a vent suddenly appeared underfoot, and a huge suction came, rapidly drawing out the surrounding air, making the space become thin.
Until finally, it almost reached a vacuum state.
Lu Xiaobu nodded; this bit of vacuum didn’t affect them much now.
When the vacuum state was about right, new gases were introduced.
Pure air.
This was artificial.
To modern people who have thoroughly researched the basic components of air, creating some air is too easy.
Once the replaced air filled the room, the second door in front of Lu Xiaobu opened.
They entered once again.
Following the same process.
Throughout this process, Lu Xiaobu was constantly feeling the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Indeed, this method is effective.
Although it wasn’t completely eradicated, most of the blood-colored spiritual energy from the Blood Continent was removed.
And after this remaining part mixed with the large amount of spiritual energy from the Heavenly Dynasty within the receiving station, it gradually became diluted, eventually losing any mind-altering effects.
Not bad.
Lu Xiaobu secretly praised.
But it took too long; from entering the door to officially entering the receiving station, Lu Xiaobu had waited almost half an hour.
Upon entering the receiving station, Xiao Zhi and the others were already waiting.
"Xiaobu." Xiao Zhi called again.
"Hmm. How’s it going?" Lu Xiaobu smiled.
"Just completed, haven’t tested it yet." Xiao Zhi said, but his face was full of confidence, obviously indicating no problem!
"Let’s go have a look." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
Then the group arrived near the Spiritual Pressure Room.
Xiao Zhi explained the structure of the Spiritual Pressure Room and its operating principles, among other things.
Lu Xiaobu nodded.
Finally, Xiao Zhi started to mention some issues: "Currently, the biggest issue is that even solid materials can’t block the penetration of spiritual energy, only that the speed is very slow."
"But if on Water Blue Planet, achieving this level of spiritual pressure would consume a lot of resources."
"So, the number of times a Spiritual Pressure Room can be used is limited, and after reaching a certain point, it can only be scrapped!"
After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he was somewhat unwilling, clearly feeling it wasn’t perfected.
"That’s normal." Lu Xiaobu laughed, "If everything were perfect, we might as well go conquer the Cultivation World."
Lu Xiaobu understood Xiao Zhi’s point, as spiritual energy does not only exist in the air but also in liquids and solids.
Otherwise, where did things like spiritual liquid and spiritual wood come from?
Of course, just like sound, different mediums have different penetration speeds.
And when the shell of this Spiritual Pressure Room gets permeated with spiritual energy to a certain extent, it obviously can’t generate the needed spiritual pressure accurately, which means it’s scrapped!
"That’s true." Xiao Zhi scratched his head and said.
As they spoke, the Spiritual Pressure Room was ready to begin testing.
The first guinea pig wasn’t anyone else but the Horse from the Twelve Zodiac Warriors; he had healing abilities, and the chance of injury was much lower than others.
What followed next was a series of experimental data.
"Inject spiritual energy, test spiritual pressure!"
"Spiritual Pressure Level: 1!"
"How’s Old Horse’s condition?"
"Perfect!"
"Continue pressurizing!"
"Inject spiritual energy again, testing spiritual pressure."
"Spiritual Pressure Level: 1.8! Old Horse’s skin is starting to permeate spiritual energy!"
"Good, maintain the pressure and observe!"
"Old Horse signaled to increase pressure."
"Increase pressure again, increase to 2.0! Remember not to rush; we’re not creating anything, just recording data!"
"Old Horse’s skin penetration efficiency has increased, condition is good!"
"..."
A large group of people was busy, while Lu Xiaobu was watching and listening to Xiao Zhi’s explanation: "We took Shimen’s spiritual pressure as a basic unit, defining it as 1, the unit is Bu!"
"That is to say, Shimen’s spiritual pressure is 1 Bu."
"After testing, most of Heavenly Dynasty’s spiritual pressure is around 1 Bu, while Medicine King Valley’s spiritual pressure is the largest, with the outermost pressure being around 3 Bu, and the innermost reaching 5 Bu, a full five-fold increase."
Lu Xiaobu listened to Xiao Zhi’s explanation and suddenly wanted to laugh.
Bu?
Must be short for 1 Lu Xiaobu?
How do you say this?
I often saw famous people’s names become units before, like Newton, Pascal, and now there’s a Lu Xiaobu?
Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought.
But he didn’t interrupt Xiao Zhi’s speech.
"And we’ve measured the Blood Continent’s spiritual pressure at about 8 Bu, but we’ve also communicated with Shi Yi and his people, and they’ve said that from their perspective, it’s quite barren compared to the outside world."
"Based on his description, we speculate that the outside world’s spiritual pressure is about fifty Bu!"
"Explaining from this angle, people from the small world practice rapidly in the big world because of the imbalance of spiritual pressure inside and outside the body, and the external pressure keeps pressing spiritual energy into the body until the internal and external pressures are balanced."
"During this process, if not controlled well, or if the body can’t withstand such high spiritual pressure, it would result in burst body death!"
"And based on speculation, those so-called spiritual energy holy lands that cultivators talk about are places with higher spiritual pressure, and a Spirit Gathering Array also works to enhance spiritual pressure!"
"Recently, we have been researching the Spirit Guiding Rate of the human body and trying to study the differences. In this way, we might be able to mass-produce Golden Core Stage in the future!"
Xiao Zhi continued to talk with the demeanor of a scholar.
However, when he mentioned mass-producing Golden Core Stage, the gleam in his eyes startled even Lu Xiaobu—this kid is heading toward the path of a mad scientist with no return!
