I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 1: Transmigrator's Diary

Azure Cloud Sect, Cloud Sun Peak, inside a Cave Mansion.

The moonlight shone down gently, reflecting off a bright spirit lamp next to a window.

Inside the window was a sandalwood desk, on which lay a slightly yellowed book.

At this moment, a pair of fair hands opened the book, and densely written Chinese characters filled its pages:

"First year of transmigration, January 3rd. The good news is: I have transmigrated, and it is to an Immortal Cultivation World.

The bad news is: I died suddenly as Agent 007, and my browser history hasn't been cleared, and the study materials in the confidential cabinet are still there..."

"Ah!!! Why couldn't I have died in a car accident? At least I could have formatted my phone with my last breath. What am I supposed to do now?!"

"...Forget it, forget it. Don't think about those things. If this world has cultivation, it means we are no longer in the same universe. What is there to fear?"

"But speaking of which, when others transmigrate, they usually arrive in the new world with just a blink of an eye. Why did I have to experience endless darkness and almost lose myself? Fortunately, I managed to hold on..."

"But since I'm here, I should just accept it and think about what to do in the future. It's a coincidence that my name is the same in both my past and present lives, Lin Chen..."

"First year of transmigration, January 7th. System Lord? Portable Ancestor? Spiritual Treasure Immortal Weapon? Proficiency panel?... Whatever it is, I'll accept being a little follower of a demoness!

But what's the situation now? I've been waiting for days and there's no response at all. Where's my Goldfinger?!

What does the Transmigrator Association even do? How can they send people over without delivering the Goldfinger?! Did they forget because there are too many transmigrators?!"

"...Stay calm, stay calm. What did my high school teacher say? The more urgent the situation, the more we need to learn to be calm. Maybe my Goldfinger is the protagonist's luck?"

"First year of transmigration, January 30th... I've been to so many markets, but there's nothing worth picking up. No peerless techniques, no heaven-defying treasures, and no favor from experts. The so-called great luck is all fake!

On the contrary, I've become an orphan. Is there anything more outrageous than this?!"

"First year of transmigration, February 12th... It's true, there are actually fellow clan members coveting the Spirit Field inheritance left by the original body's parents.

Damn it, the original body's parents died for this family, and their inheritance was actually seized?! How does this family even exist?! Luckily, I'm smart. Taking advantage of Azure Cloud Sect's recruitment, I sold the Spirit Field and entered the lower courtyard of Azure Cloud Sect to cultivate..."

"I have to say, the atmosphere of this sect is not bad. Although unfair phenomena still exist, it is relatively fair on the surface.

At least there are no disciples extorting protection fees like in novels, or bullying others relying on their powerful backgrounds. So the spirit stones I obtained from selling the Spirit Field won't be taken away by others..."

"But these spirit stones are limited, and they will soon be exhausted if I just sit and consume them. I must find a way to generate more resources. But as an ordinary disciple with no talent or background, what should I do..."

"First year of transmigration, February 13th. After thinking for a day and a night, I finally understand that in order to surpass others and step onto the path of immortality, I must have my own unique advantage that others don't have..."

"And what is my biggest advantage compared to other cultivators?

That is, I am a transmigrator, a transmigrator from modern civilization."

"The scientific education I received in my previous life for more than ten years has shaped my scientific thinking, which is unique to me on the path of cultivation!"

"After all, the Immortal Cultivation World has a heritage of countless thousands of years, which has led many cultivators to form inertia in their thinking.

Coupled with the busy competition for resources, following the routine can allow one to cultivate to higher levels. The fundamental difference in thinking means that few people can systematically and logically summarize the essence of cultivation with scientific thinking, and thus better plan for the future!"

"To have something that others don't have, and even develop it into a unique advantage, this is what I, Lin Chen, will chase after and even surpass those cultivators who rely on abundant cultivation resources, heaven-defying techniques, and the luck of a genius!"

"Science thinking, it turns out, is the greatest Goldfinger we transmigrators have!"

"Alright, I've made up my mind. I, Lin Chen, a transmigrator, will embark on the path of scientific cultivation!"

...

"First year of transmigration, February 15th. I remember reading in a novel that when transmigrating to another world, one can conduct experiments on gravity acceleration to determine the world they are in."

"I found a sealed container, removed the gas inside, and put a feather and a stone in it at the same time to measure their gravity acceleration."

"But what I didn't expect was that the falling time of the feather and the stone was completely different! If there was some margin of error, it would be fine, but the time difference can reach more than three times, which is simply unbelievable!"

"At first, I thought it was because the gas inside the container wasn't completely removed, but after multiple experiments, I ruled out this possibility..."

"In other words, I might have really transmigrated to another universe, to the point where even gravity doesn't exist? Then why can I stand on this earth? Could it be that this world... is really flat?"

"No, if there were no gravity, objects leaping in the air would not be able to fall back to the ground. However, it is undeniable that the basic physical constants have undergone certain changes. In other words, I am now in a different universe..."

"So, it turns out I have really gone so far away from home, and maybe, I can never go back..."

"Transmigrate, the first year, March 25th. Gunpowder experiment failed."

"According to the classic gunpowder formula from Blue Star's experience, as well as various modified versions based on it, none of them worked!"

"There is simply no finished product that can produce rapid combustion, explosion, or similar effects. The finished product of the classic formula is not flammable at all..."

"The finished product of Modified Formula No. 1 can burn quietly in the air, but the flame is dim and weak, not as good as burning wood; the finished product of Formula No. 2 produces white smoke with a pungent smell..."

"Continuing the tests, perhaps a usable version of immortal cultivation gunpowder formula will be discovered, but I have vaguely realized that this path is probably not the best choice."

"Because it is gradually deviating from the path of 'spiritual energy' in this world, and its power is not something to be expected. It's not as good as a fireball talisman. Forget it, let's give up research in this area..."

"Transmigrate, the first year, April 4th. Confirmed that electromagnetic induction is ineffective, at least the process of 'magnetism generating electricity' is ineffective, as no current is generated in the coil."

"The coil meets the requirements despite being rough, and there is no problem with the nature of the magnet itself. So, the problem can only lie in electromagnetic induction itself."

"Is there no electromagnetic effect, or is it being interfered by some factor?"

"It is still impossible to verify whether the process of 'electricity generating magnetism' is also ineffective, but I have a vague feeling that all of this seems to be related to 'spiritual energy'..."

"Just as my experimental equipment is completed, I can use the 'double-slit experiment' to observe what exactly 'spiritual energy' is?"

"Transmigrate, the first year, April 7th. What the hell?! Why did I obtain a result that I cannot understand from the experiment?"

"Could it be that 'spiritual energy' is really a kind of 'energy' rather than a particle or wave? Or is it because of the difference in the world that the observation method has deviated, resulting in this strange result?!"

"...Oh my god, not only that, I also found that mercury is solid at room temperature, and pure gold is not conductive... This is unscientific!"

"I originally wanted to come up with the entire periodic table... or at least sort out the properties of all common substances. But now it seems like I was daydreaming."

"Forget it, forget it. Since I can't observe or utilize the microscopic world, then I'll just study phenomena in the macroscopic world."

"Year one of transmigration, May 2nd. I was originally attempting to create a steam engine, but the experimental results were simply mind-boggling."

"The process of boiling water in this world seems similar to that on Earth, but the driving force generated by steam is pitifully small. Perhaps the expansion coefficient of water during its transformation into steam is much smaller here than on Earth."

"I suspect that the 'water' here is not water at all, and it's possible that the ubiquitous 'spiritual energy' in this world is causing mischief, altering the specific behavior of water during its phase transition..."

"...Although I drink water, use it to cleanse my body, and cultivate spiritual plants, it doesn't prove anything..."

"My body is already composed of the spiritual energy of this world, and my senses operate according to the rules of this world. Apart from the consciousness from the Blue Star in my head, I have no part that can step outside this world's 'worldview' for observation... Are the stars and bright moon I see really the celestial bodies I understand?"

"...Regardless, I have finally realized a problem: two different worlds have different fundamental laws."

"If I continue to apply the knowledge from my previous life to this life and use the knowledge of the materialistic world of technology to explain everything in the spiritual world of cultivation, is this a kind of arrogance, a kind of arrogance unique to transmigrators?"

"What is science? Science is the study and exploration of the essence and natural laws of the world. It refers to a systematic and formalized knowledge system that establishes testable explanations and predicts the form and organization of objective things. Therefore, the nature of the world's laws determines the nature of its science..."

"Science should be a worldview for understanding the world, not just referring to atoms and machines."

"Year one of transmigration, May 5th. I have thought for a long time and finally understood. Existence is reasonable. The various unscientific phenomena in this world, in my view, must have an inherent logic. It's just that I have been researching in the wrong direction..."

"I cannot judge the phenomena of this life based on the knowledge of my previous life..."

"Now the question arises, why do worlds that appear similar on a macroscopic level differ so greatly on a microscopic level? Based on previous experimental findings, I believe the most crucial factor is this 'spiritual energy'..."

"Although current means cannot observe its essence, I can still observe its phenomena and summarize the patterns..."

"However, any theory or experiment must have a basic principle or law in order to establish a complete system. In this regard, perhaps I can follow in the footsteps of that Dr. Bull who was hit by an apple and independently research and summarize a theory about spiritual energy..."

"Let's call it Lin's Law, or perhaps... the Law of Spiritual Energy?"
