Chapter 44 Undercurrent

This is bound to be a sleepless night.

After Liang Siguang left, Liu Jingming kept looking at the sky, lost in thought. It was not until the bright moon rose in the east that he finally let out a leisurely sigh.

He had to admit that what Liang Siguang said today was correct.

But that kind of "shouldn't it?" made City Lord Liu a little inexplicably angry-shouldn't you be humble in front of me!

Don't take the city lord as a cadre!

But City Lord Liu put his anger on Zhang Shengde. Who made your Zhang family so active recently, and you, Zhang Shengde, are also the chairman of this black iron guild.

…………

That night, Zhang Hao was also looking up at the sky.

Zhang Hao was lying on a hill near the sea, holding a piece of thatch in his mouth, looking at the brilliant starry sky leisurely.

Until today, Zhang Hao was in the mood to observe the starry sky carefully. Before, Zhang Hao had to look down to find a foothold and stand firm.

Practice, improve technology, guide industrial development, and find a way out for the Zhang family, worry about the country of Qixia, and pay attention to the Eastern Expedition...

Fortunately, finally on the right track. With the establishment of the guild, Zhang Hao already has the capital to gain a foothold in this world.

So, tonight, Zhang Hao finally had the mood to take a good look at the starry sky here. I also think about my own future, my future in this world.

There is also a moon here, but it is not that moon anymore. The moon and sun in this world are obviously different in size, not as magical as the other world.

The starry sky in this world is also full of stars; there is also the Polaris here, but it is obviously not the Polaris; the starry sky here also has Sanyuan and Xingxiu, but it can only be said that the division rules of the starry sky are similar, and the stars are no longer the stars they used to be.

This is a strange world.

But at least, this is not a so-called flat world, nor is it a plane world.

Moreover, this world can break the limit of natural lifespan!

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth.

In the past world, even if medical treatment was extremely developed, a hundred years old was still a hurdle. But in this world, as long as one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one will have a lifespan of thousands of years.

Lifespan is crucial to the development of science and technology.

Because of the limitation of lifespan, no one can inherit the mantle left by many great and ancient scientists.

Because of the limitation of lifespan, human beings have to stay on the earth. In the process of exploring the solar system, what restricts human beings is not spacecraft technology, cost, radiation, or weightlessness, but... lifespan!

Lifespan has become the biggest bottleneck that plagues the development of science and technology in the other world, and it is also the biggest shortcoming in the age of science and technology.

It takes people twenty years or even longer to learn, during which society continues to progress and new knowledge emerges.

An outstanding talent with scientific research ability will be in his thirties when he graduates. Then there is less than two decades of peak research time.

During this period, you have to eat, sleep, rest, take care of your family, and possibly sickness. Calculated roughly, a person has at most seven or eight years of scientific research time, or even less.

It's a heart-wrenching number.

Lifespan seriously restricts the development of science and technology in another world.

But in this world, longevity will not be a shortcoming. Moreover, practitioners not only live longer, but also have stronger minds.

Even though Zhang Hao only has the seventh level of Qi Refining now, he is still very clear-headed, and already has the ability to remember with a certain degree of photographic memory.

Looking at the bright starry sky, Zhang Hao was full of imagination. Maybe it won't be long before I can touch space by myself!

I want to go and see what space in this world looks like! Is the space in the practice world also empty? Will there be cosmic monsters in science fiction novels and movies?

Under the extremely relaxed mood, Zhang Hao's mind gradually merged into the starry sky.

Xiao Zhou Tiangong began to operate spontaneously.

Zhou Tian Zhou Tian imitates the movement of the stars; this is the most suitable exercise for Zhang Hao. Because Zhang Hao knows how the stars work—it’s not the theory of the center of the earth! It's not the so-called planar theory either!

Sunday, that is a vast universe. It has no boundaries.

Wisps of starlight fell from the sky, and strands of starlight that others could not see poured into Zhang Hao's body. Zhang Hao's true essence seemed to become thicker and brighter, faintly like the sky... Tianhe!

Gradually, Zhang Hao actually entered a state of ecstasy.

He just lay there quietly, but every breath caused a surge of spiritual energy around him.

Zhang Shengye appeared quietly, looking in front of him in shock.

He couldn't see the starlight because the starlight was too subtle; he could see a cloud of aura hovering around Zhang Hao, and the miscellaneous aura was swept away, and only the purest aura would enter Zhang Hao's body.

Breathe in and breathe in, inhale the pure spiritual energy, and expel the chaotic essence from the body.

"Epiphany!" Zhang Shengde quietly appeared.

Then, the two brothers quietly guarded by the side.

The night is quiet, the waves are rolling, the salty and cool sea breeze sweeps slowly;

"The starry sky tonight seems extraordinarily clear." Zhang Shengye murmured softly.

…………

At this time, the imperial capital of Qixia Kingdom was full of troops mobilizing everywhere. The lighting spells converged into rivers of light, flowing inside and outside the imperial capital.

The imperial capital at this time seems to be a heart, a heart of war; what is in the heart is not blood, but the flames of war.

The legion is like a torrent, and from time to time there is the breath of the Nascent Soul, which is revealed in the legion.

Some ferocious and huge weapons of war were dragged by some horses with horns on their heads. These healthy horses are real demon horses, which can easily drag tens of tons of behemoths.

Decades of accumulation, once awakened; the magnificent atmosphere stirs in the air. There is also a kind of unwillingness, a kind of anger brewing.

The army is silent, that is silent rage, that rage will erupt on the battlefield.

In the imperial palace, the same lights were shining brightly, and the god of the main hall, Wang Xiong, looked at all the officials and generals; everyone returned their firm gazes.

After everyone had finished reporting, a servant came to report, saying that the princess had returned and brought countless supplies.

The emperor's face suddenly became unhappy; the atmosphere in the hall also froze instantly.

Not a moment later, the princess came to pay her respects in a dignified princess court dress. Of course, it is impossible to wear a veil at this time.

However, before the princess could open her mouth, the emperor spoke, but it was a severe reprimand:

"Let you go out to relax, that's how you relax!

As a princess, go to Ninghe County and Anling County to collect donations.

Who gave you the right! "

The princess was still a little excited, but instantly stiffened.

She just wanted to do her part for the country, but she got reprimanded for why.

She brought back nearly 30% of the national treasury's wealth and supplies, and she went to various places to arouse people's patriotism, and received widespread response. But why, what he got was the scolding from his father?

She is very strong and reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eighteen.

She understands the crisis facing the country better, so when she left the imperial capital for the first time, she wanted to do her part for the country and her father.

Could it be that I did something wrong?

The corners of the eyes suddenly became a little moist.

After all, this is just an eighteen-year-old girl, a girl who longs for her father's approval.

Biting her lower lip hard, the princess tried her best to speak in a calm voice: "Father, my daughter has two important things to say..."

Next to him, the prince said: "Little sister, court hall is not the place for you. We are discussing state affairs.

You should be tired too, go back and rest.

If you have something to say, can't you talk to Father alone later? "

The princess turned her head suddenly, and what she saw was her elder brother's gloomy gaze: No matter how good you are, you are still a princess, don't come to the court to be an eyesore!

(Note: After comprehensive consideration, for the sake of the overall plot, the lifespan of the cultivators in this book will be relatively stingy (^.^).)
