Chapter 320: Chapter 198: Industrial Cthulhu, The Booming New Rice_2

"So you’re saying that after forming the Golden Core, it doesn’t just produce particles but also generates spiritual materials?"

Zheng Fa nodded and said, "If it were only particles, then the Lifebound Magical Treasure would really struggle to be self-sufficient. At least the Golden Core can produce some spiritual materials. If it can generate spiritual materials, then we have solved the embarrassing lack of spiritual materials in the nursing home."

"But more importantly, I hope to explore the essence of spiritual materials!"

"Then why need a particle accelerator?"

"There are only a few methods to observe microscopic particles."

"The precision of optical microscopes is too low."

"Electron microscopes... The problem is that spiritual energy seems to interfere with electrons. If the spiritual materials contain spiritual energy, I’m afraid electron microscopes won’t be very effective either."

"It’s the same with mass spectrometers..."

"After much consideration, I’m afraid that the particle accelerator is the most suitable."

"Of course, it would be best to use all methods together, but the particle accelerator needs more resources, so it must be mentioned first."

Clearly, Zheng Fa had thought about this more than once.

Tang Mudao slowly nodded and said, "This is indeed a thought..."

"You mean, after you reach Core Formation, the nursing home will have spiritual materials... uh, coming from your body, which feels a bit weird..."

Zheng Fa chuckled and said:

"My idea is that my Golden Core will produce specific spiritual materials, then use these materials to create a nuclear reactor that simulates the Golden Core process."

"Once all kinds of reactors are built, I won’t need to provide the spiritual materials anymore."

Old Man Bai was even more delighted to hear this: "That sounds much better!"

However, Tang Mudao, standing by and licking his lips, spoke with a weird expression: "This... sounds less and less like cultivation..."

Zheng Fa couldn’t help but remember what Xiao Yuying once told him about the resource scarcity in the Jiushan Realm.

Scarcity is indeed an issue.

But... if Zheng Fa’s idea could really be realized...

Then the cultivators of the Xuanwei Realm might witness what is called Cultivation Industrial Cthulhu...

However, Zheng Fa also knew that this method might be quite costly, even consuming a large amount of spiritual energy.

But for the Jiushan Realm, it’s a matter of having versus not having—if there really was a great war, relying on this technology, they could at least be self-sufficient.

Not to mention, some spiritual materials are even unavailable in the Xuanwei Realm, but the Jiushan Realm might be able to produce them!

For the nursing home and the Jiushan Realm, this would be a groundbreaking technology!

Of course, thinking about this is still a bit premature.

First, he needs to figure out what exactly spiritual material is in order to talk about manufacturing.

This is also why he needs Group Leader Yang’s help to build a particle accelerator—this matter is very important to him, and he wants to try any possible method.

...

Group Leader Yang is quite efficient.

Or rather, the response from above was positive.

The proposal to establish a particle accelerator at Rainbow Mountain was quickly passed.

Half a month later, engineers were already surveying behind Rainbow Mountain.

Zheng Fa didn’t stay at the nursing home.

He took Tang Lingwu, Old Man Bai and his wife down the mountain to a state-owned supermarket in Beijing.

The new rice produced by the nursing home had just hit the market.

Due to its low yield, it was only being sold as a pilot in Beijing and a few other major cities.

Today, Zheng Fa was accompanying Tang Lingwu to observe the sales situation.

He didn’t care too much about it himself.

But Tang Lingwu had been busy with this for a long time—knowing she was young and inexperienced, she could only learn by observing, thinking, and asking more.

Thus, she spent quite a lot of time and energy on it.

Naturally, she was nervous.

In the grain and oil sales area of the supermarket, there was a stand with a red-bordered yellow sign that read "Domestic New Grain, Jiushan No.1".

About twenty bags of rice were piled up beneath the sign.

The name was not chosen by Zheng Fa, but the grain company now managed by Tang Lingwu was called Jiushan Company.

This variety of rice naturally carried this name.

After observing for a while, they noticed that not many people were buying Jiushan No.1.

Most people just passed by, glanced at it, checked the price, and then went to select other varieties.

Tang Lingwu inevitably looked a bit dejected.

"Zheng Fa, this CEO role, am I not doing it right?"

She asked Zheng Fa sullenly.

"This is actually normal." Zheng Fa reassured, "Our price isn’t cheap, and it’s a new variety, not well-known yet, so naturally, there are fewer customers."

Jiushan Company didn’t really promote it—vocally saying too much, others wouldn’t believe; saying too little would be even less convincing.

Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu discussed with Group Leader Yang for a while, then decided to just launch it.

"Haven’t we predicted this before? It’s expected to not sell well at the beginning... As our reputation gradually spreads, it will naturally start selling well."

Zheng Fa didn’t really care about the sales volume of this product.

But Tang Lingwu clearly saw it as her own venture—she was much more concerned about it than he was.

"What’s wrong with you?" Zheng Fa asked.

Tang Lingwu bit her lip, not speaking.

Zheng Fa furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it because someone’s been talking behind your back, so you feel so pressured?"

He had not visited Jiushan Company, and all the matters were handled by Tang Lingwu, so he really didn’t understand the thoughts of the staff at Jiushan Company.

Very few people at Jiushan Company knew about Tang Lingwu’s background with the nursing home.

Seeing Tang Lingwu’s demeanor, he naturally thought it might be due to some Jiushan Company employees not accepting her management.

"There are some... that’s also normal..." Seeing Zheng Fa’s grave expression, Tang Lingwu seemed to find some comfort and suddenly smiled, "The people Mrs. Yang chose are actually quite okay. I know some people are muttering, but they are very polite to my face."

Zheng Fa gradually relaxed his furrowed brow.
