Chapter 152 The Institute of Biology was established
Zhu Biao first gave this small world to Lao Zhu, and then without any surprise, Lao Zhu sent it to the Academy of Sciences.
Soon academicians of the Academy of Sciences began to explore and study its internal environment.
This small world of real demons is much larger than the illusory world of Xumi.
There is a large lake in the middle of the small world, surrounded by endless grasslands.
Preliminary estimates suggest that there is at least one mansion in this small world.
Two months later, after in-depth research by several academicians of the Academy of Sciences, it was discovered that this place belongs to the same extraordinary world as the Ming Dynasty.
However, the extraordinary environment here is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
Just like the name of the small world, this small world is not filled with spiritual energy, but with demonic energy.
Academicians of the Academy of Sciences put ghosts and gods captured from the late Qing Dynasty into the world. These ghosts and gods immediately became active and even wanted to take the initiative to live in the human body.
It is certain that the extraordinary environment in this small world is the native world of these ghosts and gods.
In a demonic environment, this thing is more aggressive than in a spiritual environment.
Fortunately, the people who enter this world to conduct experiments are all extraordinary people, otherwise they would have been quietly inhabited by this thing.
No one can guarantee the consequences of being a sojourner in this world.
"Your Highness, after researching the only living thing in the True Demon Small World, the Yellow Leaf Grass, we found that it has no extraordinary properties. Its only characteristic is that it grows very fast. It will return to its original shape within seven or eight days after being cut."
"The concentration of demonic energy inside the small world should be similar to the concentration of spiritual energy in the Ming Dynasty. It can be rated as level one for the time being."
"Now it is basically certain that the previous conjecture is correct. Demonic energy will promote the growth and evolution of living organisms."
"Unlike the natural environment where spiritual energy mainly targets outstanding individuals to achieve extraordinary transformations, demonic energy affects all living things. In a demonic environment, the flesh and blood of living beings will continue to become stronger, and some organs may even mutate.
, and become possessed of extraordinary abilities.”
"I even feel that if the demonic energy is strong enough, there won't even be any mortals in the demonic environment."
"Ghosts and gods are more like parasites, or catalysts. They can evolve this growth and increase it hundreds or thousands of times. This is their ability and the way they grow."
Ping An, who has now become an academician of the Academy of Sciences, led the team to conduct a series of studies on the small world of the real demon, and then gave a routine work report to Zhu Biao.
“What about erosion of the spirit?”
"Is there any conclusion?" Zhu Biao asked, looking at the research report done by the Academy of Sciences on this matter.
"have!"
Ping An took a deep breath and said: "It is still the opposite of spiritual energy. If you live in a demonic environment for a long time, whether you are a human or an animal, your aggression will increase, your emotions and desires will increase, and your urge to reproduce will also increase.
"
"This is interesting!"
Zhu Biao showed a hint of interest on his face.
Previous research by the Academy of Sciences has shown that while spiritual energy brings extraordinary upgrades to the entire world, it also brings some side effects.
This is supported by Ping An's research on rice and the large number of notes left by the Qigong practitioner at Base No. 1.
As long as it is a living being that autonomously upgrades in the recovery of spiritual energy, whether it is a human, an animal, or a plant, the more advanced its cultivation is, the more it will show no desire or desire.
This lack of desires and demands does not mean lying down, but will gradually become indifferent. Except for the morbid attachment to the transcendental upgrade itself, other family ties, friendships, money, rights, and even all kinds of mundane desires will gradually be ignored.
This characteristic is not obvious in animals and plants that have not yet developed spiritual intelligence, but it is vividly reflected in humans.
Although the level of spiritual energy recovery in the Ming Dynasty is not high yet, and the immortal cultivators have not yet shown this characteristic, the lessons learned from the previous Great Zhou Dynasty are right in front of us. After those Qi cultivators gradually advanced in cultivation, they showed their concern for life.
Indifference and indifference make people shudder just thinking about it.
Moreover, this symptom is so subtle that even the Qi practitioners themselves are not aware of it and think it is a normal psychological change.
But for a person who was born as a human just because he became an extraordinary person, lived for dozens or hundreds of years longer, and finally even ate human flesh and blood in order to survive, no matter how he looked at it, Zhu Biao felt that there was something wrong with his brain.
For such symptoms, the only solution given by the Academy of Sciences is to practice martial arts.
A very interesting phenomenon is that if fellow Xianwu practitioners open up the two major secrets of Dantian and Qihai at the same time, they can effectively offset the side effects of this spiritual energy.
No one knows why this happens, but the effect is real.
"Is there a possibility that spiritual energy and demonic energy are actually extraordinary gases that have been artificially separated?" Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and asked.
Hearing this, Ping An shook his head and said: "On this point, we have also conducted relevant experiments, but they all failed. Spiritual energy and demonic energy are like water and fire. They cannot coexist. Once they coexist, they will cancel each other out."
"Even after we researchers enter the small world of real demons, the spiritual energy in the air sea will be suppressed, and the power of both the spiritual talismans and the spells we cast will be greatly weakened."
Zhu Biao also understands this very well.
But the strange thing is that the spiritual power in his Qi sea is suppressed, but the true Qi in his Dantian can be used freely without any sense of stagnation.
Even after sensing the demonic energy, the true energy was still boiling, giving him the urge to absorb the demonic energy into his Dantian.
Of course he didn't dare to do this.
Zhu Biao also felt strange about this.
In the end, he could only blame it on the fact that Dantian was too tolerant.
"Perhaps it's not that spiritual energy and demonic energy cannot be integrated, but that our research on the extraordinary is not deep enough." Finally, Ping An thought for a while and added.
"Too!"
"After all, it's only been more than 20 years since we started to contact Reiki!" Zhu Biao agreed with Ping An's idea.
"These are too far away for us for the time being."
"There's no point in dwelling on this!"
Zhu Biao continued: "For us, it is how to effectively use this small world of real demons."
"Academician Ping An, tell me what you think?"
"Your Highness, we can now confirm that the usage of ghosts and gods in the late Qing Dynasty is wrong. Neither zombies nor vampires are the correct way to transcend. It is too restrictive and has no value for further research."
"We have given up research on these two extraordinary pathways."
"My colleagues and I at the Academy of Sciences agree that the next step in research on demonic energy should be to combine ghosts and gods to achieve biological evolution, just like rice."
"In a demonic environment, biological evolution presents more possibilities, and ghosts and gods can be used in more ways. This is a good thing for our future research!"
Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this.
He agreed with Ping An's idea.
At present, it is known that there are two kinds of extraordinary upgrades that can be achieved through artificial influence. One is for human beings to enter the energy, merge the energy, and transform the energy, and finally open up the path of the Dantian secrets. The other way is for Ping An and others to use ghosts and gods to control the rice.
Perform manual screening to select spiritual rice.
Both humans who have opened up their Dantian and spiritual rice are considered extraordinary creatures, but they are not the result of natural selection.
Since both humans and rice can choose the direction of advancement through human influence, perhaps other creatures can too.
Nowadays, spiritual beasts like humans who independently opened up the sea of qi have been discovered in the Ming Dynasty. Their power has not changed drastically compared to the original. They also have some extraordinary abilities, but they are very weak.
Its greatest characteristic is intelligence.
There are several such spiritual beings in the Academy of Sciences now. Zhu Biao has seen them. Apart from not being able to speak human language, they can even do arithmetic correctly.
But this kind of spiritual object is not what Ming Dynasty needs. What Ming Dynasty needs is an extraordinary mount or pet that can be produced in large quantities, has enough endurance, is fast enough, and can even help its owner in combat.
This kind of spiritual creature is obviously unqualified.
Moreover, spiritual beings that independently advance to extraordinary levels are too rare after all.
"Then how about establishing another biological research institute, with Academician Ping An as its director, to conduct biological research on demonic environments. Your main research direction is on the alternative evolution of living organisms."
"Of course, we must take precautions and don't let the evil spirit affect our spirit."
In the end, it was Zhu Biao who made the decision, and the Institute of Biology under the Ming Academy of Sciences was officially established.
The first project of the Institute of Biology is to cultivate an extraordinary mount that can be artificially reproduced in large quantities, preferably a horse.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are doctors from the Imperial Hospital who have followed us into the small world of real demons. They are already researching a medicine powder that can offset the influence of demonic energy on the mind in a short period of time. I believe the results will be available soon."
"That's good!" Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction.
It's comfortable to be in such a court that can operate efficiently. Every department is staffed by professionals. No matter what you can think of or what you can't think of, they will take the lead.
After discussing with Ping An, Zhu Biao pondered for a while, and finally called over Xue Li, the director of Taiyuan Hospital, and Hu Zhen, the minister of agriculture.
He first looked at Xue Li: "How is the research on the medicinal powder for counteracting evil energy in Taiyuan Hospital?"
"Your Highness, it's almost done. As long as you take this medicinal powder before entering the small world of real demons, you can effectively resist the mental invasion of demonic energy within a month."
"Our hospital calls this medicinal powder Qingling Powder."
"good!"
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Does it also have an effect on mortals and warriors?"
"Effective!"
"But Your Highness, it's best not to let warriors enter." Xue Lida said.
Zhu Biao nodded. Of course he knew why. Demonic energy was too tempting for warriors, especially those who were stuck in the bottleneck period. Maybe they could break through by breathing in a few breaths of demonic energy.
Not everyone can resist this temptation.
But the price is also very high. If you actively absorb demonic energy into your body, Qingling Powder will be useless. Such a person's own emotions and desires will be infinitely magnified. This is truly demonic cultivation.
Zhu Biao did not want such a guy to appear in Ming Dynasty.
He then looked at Hu Zhen, the Minister of Agriculture next to him, and said: "The True Magic Small World is very suitable for the development of the breeding industry. The research report submitted by the Academy of Sciences shows that the growth rate of ordinary livestock in the True Magic Small World will be accelerated by one to two times, and in
The meat of livestock raised in a demonic environment also has better meat quality."
"After experiments, it has been found that eating monster meat will not have any impact on people's mental state."
"Our warriors cannot enter the small world of real demons to directly absorb the demonic energy to practice, but they can practice by eating the meat of demonic beasts!"
"Does Minister Hu understand what I mean?"
Hu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. As the Minister of Agriculture, he is actually only responsible for two things now.
The promotion of two improved rice varieties and the supply of the Ming Dynasty's growing military demand for meat.
The former was okay and he could finish it even if he was a little tired, but the latter really made him exhausted.
With the continuous promotion of the Thirty-Six Exercises in the military, more and more meat was needed. Even though he repeatedly expanded the official animal husbandry, there was still some shortage of supply.
The appetites of the soldiers in the army are really too big.
He heard that some generals who were good at eating could eat a pig in one meal.
This is so damn disappointing.
In recent years, the border troubles in Mongolia have long since disappeared. The men of the Mongolian prairie have switched to raising cattle and sheep. After all, the price offered by the government is too attractive.
How can the breeding industry earn so much money just by robbing with your head!
But even so, the shortage of meat was still huge. The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion would come with an order every few days. There were even several times when his supply was a little late, and those reckless men went directly to his Ministry of Agriculture office with their soldiers.
Come and talk to him.
It's so scary that it scares people to death.
To be honest, his hair has almost turned gray in the past two years.
But now the emergence of this small world of real demons has solved his urgent need.
Now that he heard His Highness the Prince's words, Hu Zhen almost burst into tears. He understood Zhu Biao's meaning very well.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee that the breeding farms will be opened in every corner of the real devil's small world within one year... no more than three months!"
"Okay!" Zhu Biao praised.
"But you should also be careful when selecting people. It's better for warriors not to go in!"
"At this stage, the intensity of the demonic energy in the True Demon Small World is not high, and it will not have a great impact on those beasts. It will be the same if ordinary people bring guns in." Zhu Biao reminded.
"Old minister, I understand!" Hu Zhen nodded.
After seeing off the excited Minister Hu Zhen, Zhu Biao turned back to look at Xue Li: "Xue Yuanzheng, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Your Highness, our Imperial Hospital also wants to apply for a small space in the True Demon Small World."
"Demon energy also has a great influence on herbal medicine. We want to do some research in this area." Xue Li said anxiously.
Compared with the Academy of Sciences, Taiyuan Hospital has not received much attention at this stage. As the dean of Taiyuan Hospital, he is only a fifth-grade official. To be honest, he can be in the same court with His Royal Highness as he is now.
There are not many opportunities to get it right.
"sure!"
Zhu Biao laughed and said: "This is a trivial matter!"
"In comparison, I actually want to talk to you about the restructuring of Taiyuan Hospital."
