Chapter 142-143 [Energy-saving mode, development of productivity]
Starting from Lin Zhibai's original intention.
Of course, he hoped that while maintaining full speed in the next years, he would study the birth mechanism of the heaven and earth qi, and artificially reproduce this mechanism to obtain an unlimited supply of heaven and earth qi to practice.
In this way, Lin Zhibai will not be cut off from the road ahead, and his practice speed will not be slowed down.
If one can artificially create the essence of heaven and earth, one can even popularize his practice, so that every Dahua Immortal Dynasty's people can move onto the path of extraordinaryness and become a true Immortal Dynasty.
But in reality, it is very likely that the heaven and earth energy will be exhausted. Even Lin Zhibai's life span of 620 years is exhausted at this moment, and he cannot find a way to artificially create the heaven and earth energy.
After all, with Lin Zhibai's cultivation and wisdom at this moment, he did not make it very fast to explore and collect data from the entire Shui Lanxing.
In fact, it has taken Lin Zhibai almost three years to have some basic understanding of the heaven and earth energy in the future. I don’t know how long it will take to truly replicate the existence of the heaven and earth energy in the future.
It is not surprising that there is no progress in a hundred years, three hundred years, or even a thousand years.
Considering this worst possibility, on the safe side, we need to retain the essence of heaven and earth, supply future state breakthroughs, and obtain a longer life span to study the essence of heaven and earth.
At that time, the future will not be completely cut off due to the exhaustion of the essence of heaven and earth.
Having thought about this, Lin Zhibai began to silently calculate two possibilities.
"If I practice with all my strength at this moment, when the speed of my practice will not continue to increase, the heavenly essence and earth energy between heaven and earth will be completely exhausted in about one hundred and fifty years.
"In these 150 years, I can get 400 units of mana growth every year, and more than 600,000 Star Abyss Guards can produce 6,770 units of mana for me every year.
"In general, before the Dharma-Ending Age is fully arrived, I can accumulate about 1.07 million units of mana, which can be converted into 107 million years of skill."
"If according to the previous rules, the strength of the body's body increases by one level and obtains a certain level of life level jump, then I will have at least two chances of life level jumps in the years to come.
"A life jump will cause a significant increase in combat power. After two times, my main combat power can probably reach the real level of natural disasters, and destroy the world through thoughts. However, without the blessing of the heavenly essence and earth energy, I am afraid that the actual destructive power will not be much stronger than mine now.
"Every time breakthrough does not increase much life span. One increase is about 200 to 300 years. Theoretically, after three life spans, my life span will reach about 1,000-1,500 years.
"Due to the limitation of the overall concentration of the heaven and earth energy on the water blue star, even if my life essence changes to three levels, my cultivation speed increases by a factor of twice, if I cannot break the mechanism of the birth of the heaven and earth energy, this is the ultimate achievement.
"Once the essence of heaven and earth energy is completely exhausted, most of the skills I practice at this moment will even fail."
First, we calculated the results that will be achieved through full efforts.
It is not optimistic. If you continue to practice at this pace, Lin Zhibai will not be able to achieve immortal sacredness, nor can he guarantee that he can definitely study the birth mechanism of the essence of heaven and earth.
Then, Lin Zhibai began to calculate the results of his practice in the energy-saving mode.
"If it is in the energy-saving mode, all Xingyuanwei can no longer continue to use the heavenly essence and earth energy to practice. Then many foods and medicines must be needed to supplement the energy and spirit consumption to ensure the progress of the practice.
"If I want to maintain the current theoretical maximum practice speed, I must equip each Xingyuanwei with a one-year practice material budget of 150,000 taels of silver. It will cost about 650,000 Star Yuanwei, which will cost about 97.5 billion taels of silver.
"The huge amount of cultivation resources represented by this money can not be supplied even if the entire Dahua national strength is devoted to the current moment, and all the productivity is mobilized. Even if the number of consumption of this resource is reduced by a hundred times, it will be difficult."
Now, Dahua has grown from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the grassland, and some islands obtained outside Shanghai. The combined arable land area has been reclaimed to about 1.8 billion mu.
The land tax, coupled with the tax provided by some pastures outside the subway, can provide about 250 million taels of agricultural tax revenue each year.
More income comes from commercial taxation, which has reached 650 million taels per year. The combined result of the treasury's annual income has almost reached 900 million taels per year.
In fact, the annual salary of Xingyuanwei is now almost 500 million taels.
Fortunately, Xingyuan Guard has now replaced the border army and bears the burden of guarding Dahua, so a large part of their salary is subsidized by the military expenditure of the state treasury, and only a small part is paid by the treasury, which Lin Zhibai still bears.
If they were equipped with top-rated practice supplies every year, Lin Zhibai would really not be able to stand it.
Lin Zhibai conquered the Wu Shen Dynasty and obtained the other party's accumulated money and supplies worth about 40 billion taels of money and materials for countless years, and became rich.
Coupled with the treasury income of the Dahua Immortal Dynasty and the various industrial incomes under its name, Lin Zhibai originally thought that he would no longer be troubled by insufficient money. As a result, after no longer having the convenient natural resources of heaven and earth energy, Lin Zhibai found that he was still short of money.
Without further entanglement in this conclusion, Lin Zhibai began to calculate within the scope he could bear: "If you do not allocate sufficient amount of practice materials and only let these Xingyuanwei eat to practice on a daily basis.
"Under the daily meal quota of one or two taels of silver per person, it takes about 240 million taels of expenditure a year, including the salary expenses of about 750 million taels, the treasury military expenditure plus my industrial income can still be barely supplied.
"In this case, Xingyuan Guards can train me for about three years to create an inner interest seed. On average, it is 255 units of mana profit per year. In addition, my own practice is 655 units of internal interest income per year.
"Compared to absorbing the essence of heaven and earth energy to practice, although this speed is ten times slower and you will spend an extra amount of money every year, the advantage is that you will not consume the essence of heaven and earth energy too much.
"If I maintain this energy-saving form of practice, I want to obtain the 1.07 million years of magic power equivalent to the 150 years of full-speed practice, which will take about 1633 years, but the advantage is that the following many transformations of life will not lack the essence of heaven and earth.
"If productivity develops in the future and more food and medicine resources can be provided for Xingyuanwei to use, then their practice will be accelerated.
"If I can give all Xingyuan Guards a full amount of 150,000 taels of cultivation resources, then it is absolutely OK to achieve the current speed of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth energy.
"In this case, before my life span is exhausted, I have at least 1,500 years to study and explore the mystery of the essence of heaven and earth.
"If the time is approaching, we have not found a solution to the birth mechanism of the heaven and earth qi, and we can also find ways to prolong our life and continue our practice."
After calculating here, Lin Zhibai's next choice is already very obvious.
He chose a relatively safe strategy and left himself a way out.
I gave up the plan to practice at full speed and began to change my mind and enter the energy-saving mode.
All Xingyuan Guards have been notified that they will no longer use them to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to practice from now on.
In addition to the believers praying to deworm and rain to clear floods and other wars, Xingyuan Guards are no longer allowed to use the essence of heaven and earth energy at will.
It also determined that relevant regulations were allowed to supervise many Xingyuanwei and established corresponding punishment regulations.
Fortunately, Xingyuanwei has received education on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Thanks to the existence of the Taoist scriptures, it has a lifespan and strength far beyond ordinary people. He has received great favors from Lin Zhibai and is loyal. They all unconditionally executed Lin Zhibai's orders.
In the years to come, although these Star Abyss Guards will consume some of the heavenly essence and earth energy when using spells, the heavenly essence and earth energy naturally generated between heaven and earth every year can be compensated.
In general, the concentration of the heaven and earth energy on the water blue star will be maintained at the current concentration and storage amount for a long time.
In addition to controlling the Xingyuan Guards that have already integrated the heaven and earth, Lin Zhibai no longer passed on the "Tao Sutra" to quickly reach the realm of Shenmeng Tian and earth, and began to strictly control it.
When the heaven and earth are integrated, we will absorb the essence of heaven and earth to make a life leap. It doesn’t matter if one or two people are too many. The consumption of heaven and earth energy will be terrifying if the number of people is too large.
At least until all the Xingyuan Guards die in their old age, Lin Zhibai does not intend to pass on the Taoist sutra.
Before, he had ambitiously expanded the scale of Xingyuan Guard, reaching 650,000 people. He wanted to maximize his cultivation speed, complete the continuous leap of the life level in the shortest time, and eventually become an immortal sacred.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes. If you continue to practice like this, the heavenly essence and earth energy will not be enough, and you will not know how many years it will take to recover, and the road ahead will be cut off.
After dealing with Xingyuanwei, Lin Zhibai continued to study the essence of heaven and earth, while focusing more on handling the government affairs of the Dahua Immortal Dynasty.
After changing to the energy-saving mode, Xingyuanwei can actually provide maximum training bonus, but unfortunately, the productivity is insufficient at the moment and cannot provide so much practice materials to Xingyuanwei.
In order to solve this problem, Lin Zhibai issued many preferential policies and estimated that more people immigrated to the Shenjuanzhou and Tiancizhou for cultivation.
A policy of tax exemption for additional children was also issued to encourage people to have more children and increase their population. This era represents productivity and the will of sentient beings, and also represents the luck of civilization.
Lin Zhibai wished that the population of Dahua Immortal Dynasty would increase at least ten times on the current basis.
After many immigrants arrived at Tiancizhou and Shenjuanzhou, in addition to planting food to maintain their survival and carrying out certain livestock breeding, they devoted more energy to the cultivation of medicinal materials.
More than one million indigenous people from Tiancizhou were also mobilized by Lin Zhibai, allowing immigrants from the land of China to help them master advanced agricultural technology and get rid of the life of hunting in the past.
There are also a small number of immigrants who are carried by long-distance fleets towards the Golden Continent. Although this place is not suitable for farming, it has many minerals that can make up for the growing demand for metal minerals in various places.
After Lin Zhibai sorted out these things, his unexpected luck in civilization increased a lot.
Lin Zhibai paid a little attention to this and then focused on the Academy of Jujube.
It has been almost thirty years since the establishment of the Geju Academy. At the beginning, their attention was focused on the manufacturing of steam engines and the improvement of cement.
Later, based on the basic knowledge of chemical physics and mathematics provided by Lin Zhibai, he explored the world and tried to breed and improve crops.
In the past years, the biggest achievement of the entire Geju Academy may be the production of various steam engines, which are now widely used in the textile and shipbuilding industries.
Today, under the supervision of Lin Zhibai, the Geju Academy has finally brought out the fruits that are enough to change the world - fertilizers and improved seeds.
The existence of chemical fertilizers can increase crop yields, which is another huge factor affecting crop yields in addition to the natural environment.
After testing by the Gewu Academy, the yield of acre of fields using chemical fertilizers has doubled directly from the current 300 kilograms per mu of land, while the existence of improved seeds has doubled the yield again on this basis.
In the latest experiment, the rice fields that used fertilizers and improved seeds had the highest yield per mu reached 1,200 kilograms.
Such output is terrifying in today's era.
Based on the current 18 acres of land in Dahua, the tax on farming alone can be increased four times from the previous 250 million taels, directly reaching a level of one billion taels.
In addition, these fertilizers can also be used in the planting and cultivation of medicinal materials. If the grain output per unit area increases, a lot of arable land can be freed up for medicinal materials.
If medicinal materials are planted on a large scale, the current high prices of medicinal materials can be reduced, taxes will increase, and spiritual resources will decline. This means that Lin Zhibai has more resources to invest in Xingyuanwei.
These benefits prompted Lin Zhibai to urge the entire Dahua court system to operate as soon as possible and promote fertilizers and improved seeds.
Although these achievements have not been directly converted into actual productivity, they were immediately reflected on Lin Zhibai's human fortune, and Lin Zhibai's purple human fortune directly increased by more than twice.
It can be seen from this that the existence of fertilizers and improved seeds has a great potential for the development of the entire civilization.
Even so, Lin Zhibai was still not satisfied and despised the study of the law school to be too slow.
While practicing, he began to focus more on exploring natural sciences, and his research direction was computers. When exploring the essence of heaven and earth, he deeply felt that his brain was not enough.
