28-year-old Zhang Feng, together with Chen Genius, who is about the same age, went to Highland Province.
At this moment, on a suspended train about twelve meters long.
Zhang Feng ordered the guards around them to step back, while looking at the pale-faced Chen Genius,
"Once Z1 is completed, we’ll allocate some material and human resources to start the construction of the ’Spiritual Energy Planting Base’."
Zhang Feng pulled his arm over and checked his pulse,
"You’re researching yourself into a state where regular medicine can no longer heal you.
Because what you’ve lost is ’spirit.’
I need to plant some Spirit Fruit and Spirit Flower to help you regulate your energy and nurture your spirit.
Otherwise, I’m really afraid you might suddenly die one day."
"Hmm..." Chen Genius seemed a bit dispirited, "Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang, now that Z1 is perfected, I’ll have time to rest.
Last time when I was researching superconductors, it was the same. A bit of rest will do."
"The problem is you don’t rest." Zhang Feng shook his head and threw his hand back, "To be blunt, you may look 28, but your bodily functions are immensely close to 35.
If you continue researching , your body won’t hold up."
As Zhang Feng spoke, he saw him trying to argue with some patriotic excuse, but he pointed a finger at his chest through the air. Overclocking his Spiritual Qi temporarily, he made his vocal cords tremble, disabling speech.
In other words, he pointed out the ’mute point.’
"Listen to me first." Zhang Feng picked up his teacup, "I finally understand why you’re so formidable.
Besides having ’technological talent’ far above normal people, you truly push yourself beyond limits.
Four and a half hours of sleep a day, 19 and a half hours of research, you even wear headphones while eating and bathing to listen to scientific papers and research reports.
No matter if it’s you, even if it’s the ’immortal type’ you mentioned, I couldn’t handle such continuous operation."
"..." Chen Genius couldn’t speak, he could only keep blinking, with an eager urgency to speak.
Zhang Feng noticed he seemed to have an important issue, he waved his hand again, sending a wave of Spiritual Qi, restoring his vocal cords.
Then Chen Genius said solemnly to Zhang Feng, "You can handle continuous operation.
Because your constitution has already surpassed normal humans, given what I know about you and your past statements.
I surmise you need only three hours of sleep per day to ensure full energy."
"Alright, nothing more to chat with you." Zhang Feng sipped his tea silently, but also thought, once Z1 rolls out, it might be time to apply for the start of Spirit Fruit and Spirit Flower planting construction.
Initially, Zhang Feng wasn’t inclined to start Spirit Fruit and Spirit Flower construction.
Because they are related to genes and medicine, it would definitely delay the optimization of Spirit Stones.
Currently, Spirit Stones are already in the optimization process.
Although Chen Genius said to calculate and optimize once the mechanical platform is built.
Yet, as Zhang Feng mentioned earlier that Spirit Stones might extend life, besides Chen Genius, others couldn’t sit still.
However, for now, all Spirit Stones are in the hands of super institutions and the government.
Moreover, the production isn’t high, only about two hundred pieces per day.
He takes ten pieces, and the rest is left unattended.
In these circumstances, Chen Genius’s health issue also troubled Zhang Feng.
If he doesn’t care for him, it’s full computing power resulting in slight technology advancement every few months, but a slight step back in longevity too.
If he does care, unless he knocks him out, he genuinely won’t stop.
Zhang Feng has never encountered such continuous operation, truly like a ’human-shaped scientific instrument.’
Joined the first massive Z1 construction project.
Zhang Feng didn’t say much, mostly observing.
And noted that they weren’t using the ’large pit step’ from reality, instead, like building small structures, using superconductors as the overall framework, then pieced together upwards.
Zhang Feng wasn’t sure which is better, so he just watched.
But it was his first time participating in the project.
With a white helmet on, Zhang Feng found everything quite novel.
Currently, the only ones who could wear white helmets were himself and Chen Genius.
The next-level managers and other leaders wore gray helmets.
Then came red helmets, blue helmets, and so forth.
Such projects were also launched in various places in subsequent days.
Zhang Feng and Chen Genius became frequent travelers.
Then Zhang Feng discovered something.
Not only did Highland choose building-like stacking.
Even in some land-scarce cities, they stacked this way.
Moreover, these superconducting foundation frames were quite large and spacious inside and out, unlike fitting Z1.
A month after running around all over the country.
Zhang Feng pondered and couldn’t comprehend, so he asked Chen Genius, "Why build in this manner?
I think for cities, burying them underground to save land area might be better?"
"Teacher Zhang doesn’t know?" Chen Genius first appeared puzzled, then responded with an unexpected answer,
"Once the mechanical platform is complete, these batteries will be transported to high altitude.
The current arbitrary construction is to facilitate future retrieval."
He spoke while pointing towards yet another city they were heading to, the superconducting foundation was also wide and large there,
"These superconductors are not only temporary frames for Z1 but also base frames for the mechanical platform.
Teacher Zhang didn’t know?"
"Never paid attention." Zhang Feng spent this past year learning various knowledge, so he truly never looked at Chen Genius’s mechanical platform plan.
Initially, Zhang Feng thought Chen Genius might use other materials. This update is available on novèlfire.net
But thinking further, superconducting material is currently Earth’s most stable composite material.
-150 to 5000 degrees resistance attributes, enough to cope with the ultra-low temperatures of the stratosphere.
