metaverse evolution.

[It’s 2024. I wish you all peace, happiness, good health, good fortune, and smiles in 2024]

As the saying goes, one person thinks about shortcomings and three people think about strengths. Even if you already have mature experience, asking others will not make any difference.

What if someone else’s opinion is better? That's not earned. After all, as long as there is progress and improvement in practice, you will always benefit.

It was with this consideration in mind that Chu Fei took a short rest and allowed himself to completely calm down, especially after suppressing the agitation after the breakthrough and regaining his calm and calm posture before leaving the underground secret room.

By this time, it was already afternoon. It was already the tenth day since Chu Fei entered the secret room. There are only 13 days left before the autumn solstice.

Chu Fei slowly walked to the ground floor, and suddenly discovered a serious problem - he had no office here!

I originally moved here to the Jinhua Business Group, but had to relocate due to an accident. But after moving here, he entered the Wei family. Even if he came back later, he would go to the underground secret room or the bedroom to rest.

So much so that there are no arrangements at all for offices such as receiving guests.

This is not good because it does not fit the identity.

Since he didn't have an office, after thinking about it, Chu Fei could only walk to Qin Shuya's office.

Qin Shuya is here, but busy. Seeing Chu Fei, Qin Shuya smiled and said: "All the five hundred walnut trees in the first phase have grown to a height of two meters, and the tallest one has reached a height of three meters.

At present, more than half of the walnuts have bloomed. At the current rate, the first batch of 'genetically modified fruits of life' will be harvested in another twenty days. "

Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, "It's only been more than half a month, right? How come it's so fast?"

"It was 18 days." Qin Shuya remembered clearly, "Growing so fast is probably the result of soilless cultivation technology, plant hormones, life energy, and genetic modification. The growth rate is comparable to bamboo. "

Chu Fei nodded, "I'll take a look later, don't worry. Our goal is to grow fruit trees for the next three hundred years. If they grow too fast, their lifespan may not last ten years."

Qin Shuya also responded, "Okay, I'll invite you to come over and take a look later. How was the result of the retreat?"

“It’s not bad, it should be at the limit of 9.0, only half a step away from 10.0.

I just find that my physical fitness can't keep up with the speed of cultivation. Do you know of any methods of physical training? "

Qin Shuya glanced at Chu Fei, scanning up and down, and nodded slightly, "Master Chu is 16 years old and has accomplished what others have accomplished at 60 years old."

Chu Fei smiled, dragged a chair and sat down, and said casually: "Is there any room here? Prepare an office for me."

"Yes." Qin Shuya didn't hesitate at all. Even if you don't have one, you can pour one out.

Then Qin Shuya added: "When it comes to exercising, in the high-walled Black Mountain City attached to Red Pine City, there is a 'lava cave', which is a sleeping crater. Many people in Red Pine City come here to exercise."

"Lava cave?" Chu Fei blinked, "Can this also be used for exercise?"

Qin Shuya smiled, "Do you know how Sun Wukong was made?"

"..."

Qin Shuya smiled even more happily, "This is the slogan of the Lava Caves. What a coincidence, this Black Mountain City is controlled by the Wei family, and the Lava Caves are also the property of the Lan family."

Chu Fei nodded, "Besides this, is there anything else?"

"There is a Yaohe Falls in Yaohe City, with a drop of more than 200 meters. It is also a good place. However, Yaohe City is under the control of the Zhao family."

"Okay, I get it. Let's go look at the walnuts first."

Not far from the Jinhua Business Group is the newly renovated super greenhouse.

Because it was renovated from an old warehouse, the outside looks a bit shabby, but the inside has been updated.

When you first enter the warehouse, the first thing you see is the specially isolated energy production area.

This is a life energy generating device that converts electricity. There are actually five such energy generating devices. With sharp eyes, Chu Fei saw the power on the energy generating device: 6000 calories per hour.

While Chu Fei was observing, Qin Shuya began to explain:

“Where we are now is an energy production area, including electrical energy and life energy.

For the time being, we do not have technology that can directly generate life energy, it is all through electricity conversion. The current conversion rate can reach over 80%, which is very good.

Of these five conversion equipment, three currently maintain 80% power operation. At this time, it is most efficient and causes less wear and tear on the equipment.

The other two are on standby and under maintenance.

As for the power supply equipment, it is this, a small helium III reactor. Approximately 1.2 grams of helium three are consumed daily.

As trees grow, energy consumption slowly increases. "

Chu Fei looked at it and saw that it was said to be a small helium-III reactor, but it was actually about ten meters long.

This type of helium III reactor is also found in ruins and cannot be manufactured with current technology. But because there are so many discovered and they cannot be used directly for practice, the market price is not high.

In addition, the maintenance of this small reactor is not a big problem. Because it is a mature modular technology, it means that if you need to repair it, you only need to replace the faulty module. There are too many of these things in the ruins.

It is nuclear fuel such as helium 3, but there is not much of it.

Today, the helium-3200 here in Hongsong City has increased to 50 million/% purity per kilogram.

But one kilogram is 1000 grams, and this base can be used for more than days. Even if the walnut tree is growing and absorbing more and more energy, one kilogram can last for a year.

Calculated, it’s not very expensive.

Qin Shuya briefly introduced the price of the equipment. Small helium fusion reactor, worth 17 billion. Cheap is also relative. The rest of the equipment adds up to million.

The construction cost of the entire factory is as high as 27 billion. The foundation of Jinhua Business Group is basically invested.

That's it, as well as Chu Fei's investment - Qin Shuya has not given Chu Fei a lot of her share of the potions that should be given to her. I really have no money.

Even though Chu Fei spent 70 billion to buy a high-end source core, for small businesses, business groups, mercenary groups, etc., a net profit of 10 billion a year would be a big deal, and he could lose money if he is not careful.

Just like the Jinhua Business Group when Chu Fei first came to Red Pine City, without Chu Fei's help, the Jinhua Business Group would have been doomed - a large number of goods disappeared, the experts suffered heavy losses, and the consequence was: disbandment on the spot.

The fact that the Jinhua Business Group can invest so much money in one go is really a bit of a gamble.

But Chu Fei just nodded and said nothing.

In the end of the world, no one is gambling. Along the way, am I just lying down and waiting for pie to fall from the sky?

Of course, Qin Shuya's decision still made Chu Feigao take a look. Qin Shuya's investment can be regarded as a kind of trust, and the entire Jinhua business group's past and future are bets on it.

After walking forward for more than fifty meters, I opened a soundproof door and saw the real training ground.

Saplings as thick as eggs are growing vigorously. Some are thicker, reaching three meters in length, and some are thinner, only about two meters long.

Perhaps they have not experienced wind and rain, and they are using soilless cultivation technology. All of them grow straight, with green leaves, and half of them have bloomed. Walnut flowers are not pretty, but the flowers here symbolize a good harvest, and Chu Fei couldn't help but take a second look.

There is a strong breath of life flowing on all the plants, and there is a faint brilliance flowing on the surface of the plants in the haze.

The elites of the Jinhua business group guard here day and night. At this time, someone was meditating next to him.

Chu Fei looked around, then unfolded his spiritual sense and inspected it carefully.

This is the important purpose of Chu Fei's observation.

After checking it carefully again, Chu Fei finally nodded, "It's overall good, and nothing bad has been found yet. But we still have to pay attention, the growth rate is a bit fast, and I feel a bit uneasy."

"Don't worry, I have to come here more than three times a day. And plants are different from animals. Animals have growth limits, but plants don't.

As long as the nutrition is sufficient, the hormones keep up, and the energy keeps up, the speed can be increased. This is already slowing down for the sake of stability.

In addition, the half that bloomed actually accelerated ripening, and no problems were found for the time being. "

Chu Fei nodded again. Qin Shuya said the truth.

If animals are ripened, many problems will arise. But plants don't have these problems.

Ripening of ordinary plants is prone to problems. The root cause is nutritional imbalance and insufficient energy.

But here, these problems are all solved.

Chu Fei felt relieved after confirming that everything was normal here.

Although Chu Fei is developing well now, and tens of billions of funds can be readily available, it is not a long-term solution.

People have perseverance only if they have perseverance. From a long-term perspective, we still need to have some industry.

In the last days, money is illusory, but wealth is real.

Refining pharmaceuticals relies heavily on external medicinal materials, but now this industry can take the source into its own hands.

With this kind of thinking, Chu Fei came to the Wei family again and came to the Advanced Computer Research Center. I found that there are more researchers here. Needless to say, they are researchers from the City Lord's Mansion.

When Wei Weiya saw Chu Fei, he smiled and said, "The retreat time is quite long."

"The Tianlong Secret Realm is about to open, and so many things have happened, so I have to consolidate my practice."

With that said, Chu Fei took out the elementary magic weapon and the extended machete he had photographed, "Do you have time to study this now?"

"You are so willing." Wei Weiya took the extended machete and stroked it gently, especially observing the edge of the blade most carefully. But after watching for a while, Wei Weiya pushed the machete to Chu Fei again.

"What's wrong?" Chu Fei was puzzled.

"I've been studying advanced source cores recently, and I can't be distracted in a short time. It just so happens that the Tianlong Secret Realm is opening, and you can use cold weapons. You can use it first."

Chu Fei didn't say anything and put it away again. In fact, Chu Fei didn't know how to use this weapon at all. Ren Qingyun has been entrusted with customizing weapons.

The more powerful the weapon, the better. The right one is the best.

The most important feature of this machete is that it is 80% sharper. Chu Fei tried it, and it had some effect, but that was it.

Whether a weapon is useful or not, its sharpness attribute only accounts for one-third.

Besides, as for the sharpness issue, Chu Fei has ultrasonic scalpel skills.

When it comes to weapon convenience, this machete is a negative.

Chu Fei's current fighting style is completely different from ordinary people. In today's battles, the whole process involves ultra-high speed movement, and whether the weapon is in hand or not has a great impact.

A weapon that doesn't take advantage of you may even make your attacks less precise and your defenses more vulnerable.

However, this machete is not without any effect. What if it's just chopping?

Let’s wait until we come out of the Tianlong Secret Realm.

After putting away the machete, Chu Fei found Lan Wenchuan and asked about the lava cave. Wei Fanghua said that Lan Wenchuan was from Heishan City.

When Lan Wenchuan heard Chu Fei ask this, he laughed, "Are you going to be a Monkey King?"

Chu Fei:......

Lan Wenchuan laughed and said, "Let's go outside and talk. Don't disturb everyone's research."

When they came to the door, the two leaned against the wall, and Lan Wenchuan explained: "This lava cave is good for tempering the body.

But first, you must have a concept. The lava cave itself has no tempering ability. This is reality, not fiction.

And before explaining the effects of lava caves, we need to analyze the aspects of physical strengthening of practitioners.

The first is the flesh and blood body, the second is the total amount of life energy in the body, and the third is the ‘energy level’ of life energy.

Because of the harsh environment of the lava cave, it can oppress the human body. What is directly oppressed is the 'energy level'.

As the energy level increases, it will in turn temper the body and increase its ability to contain life energy.

In short, this is the order.

The lava cave provides a kind of pressure, and you have to rely on yourself to break through. "

Chu Fei nodded. It goes without saying that the body is fundamental. The total amount of life energy is an important indicator. But the concept of energy level is rarely used.

At least Chu Fei didn't have much contact with him in the past. Because for most awakened people, it is still a little early to talk about the concept of energy levels.

But just because he hasn’t had much contact with him doesn’t mean that Chu Fei doesn’t know. Energy level can be understood as voltage. When the current remains constant, the voltage exceeds the power.

Life energy has a similar situation, or almost all energies and fluids have similar characteristics.

Lan Wenchuan continued: "But in the lava cave, the environment is harsh. Even if the awakened person can not breathe, such an environment will still be harmful to the body. You need to bring enough primary resurrection potions. It would be better if you have intermediate resurrection potions. .

In addition, there is also some special energy in lava, which is usually called evil energy. It should be a kind of metamorphic life energy. This evil spirit will pollute the purity of life energy.

Generally, after practicing in the cave for a few hours, you should come out to rest for a while. Be sure not to stay in the cave for a long time.

Finally, although the catacombs are jointly run by the Wei family and our Lan family, entering the underground environment is complicated, and murders are common, so pay attention to safety. "

After Chu Fei asked for more details in detail, he finally added "Lan Haitao" through Lan Wenchuan, who was one of the people in charge of the cave. (End of chapter)
