Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 809

Year 7700 in the Blue Star Xia calendar, Huaxia

A new batch of Jiang Star supplies arrived at Blue Star, bringing a huge amount of resources back, enhancing Huaxia’s strength even further, and even increasing the strength of the entire Blue Star.

"It’s such a pity that the space overlap technology hasn’t made progress. Jiang Star has fully developed it, and there are so many good things I really want to bring all at once…"

Lin Guobin was giving a report to Lin Jiang and others. Lin Guobin has limited abilities and cannot grasp the overall situation of Jiang Star, so Lin Jiang has already replaced him; Lin Guobin can just come back and enjoy retirement.

Lin Guobin explained the situation of Blue Star in detail to Lin Jiang and others. Although Lin Jiang has his own channels to know the truth, it is still necessary to verify it crosswise.

At this time, Jiang Star had been fully developed after hundreds of years. Just the spiritual land used for planting spiritual paddy covers hundreds of billions of acres, including some high-grade spiritual land. It’s not that they don’t want to plant spiritual herbs, but that spiritual herbs cannot be mechanized, and they lack enough manpower.

This time, the Space Mother Ship that Lin Guobin returned with brought back nearly ten million tons of supplies, including some very high-quality spiritual rice that is specially provided in Huaxia, which ordinary cultivators have never even seen.

"Cao Wang, can the space overlapping technology be improved?"

"It’s difficult; we’ve reached the limit."

Cao Wang shrugged. The space technology has hit a bottleneck and cannot develop further. The old storage bags could only hold dead items; now they can hold living things, but they cannot contain space tools, or else it would cause a space collapse.Therefore, the space section of the Space Mother Ship can only be used once. Otherwise, if they carried more storage bags, bringing back more than ten million tons of goods would not be a problem at all.

"Then that’s it. You can study it later, but the resources of Jiang Star cannot be wasted. We need to adjust some industrial layouts."

Lin Jiang said that the population of Jiang Star, which is millions, enjoys resources equivalent to that of a planet with four billion people. This is truly wasteful; they cannot use it all, and their living conditions are like communism. This cannot continue, especially since Huaxia has billions of people who are suffering; it must be brought back.

"I will assign this matter to the relevant experts for study."

"Make it happen as soon as possible. Also, we need to develop special transport ships; speed is not a priority, but we need a lot of them to create a good cycle."

"This is no problem. By giving up some features, we can fully reach the tonnage of the Space Mother Ship, and the speed won’t be slow. Our current technology hasn’t made a big breakthrough, but it is much better than before. If we have about one hundred or eighty ships, we can create a transportation cycle that happens once every twenty years."

"Twenty years is just right; it is enough time for Jiang Star to develop. You can decide the details. For the supplies Jiang Star brings back this time, I will keep thirty percent of the profits for you."

Lin Jiang said that twenty years is enough time for Jiang Star to gather supplies for the next time. Right now, Blue Star really needs help from Jiang Star because Blue Star has invested too much in the Jiang Star project, spending hundreds of years worth of resources without counting the cost, which will empty out Blue Star.

After Lin Guobin finished his report, Lin Jiang asked him to find Lin Ying. Lin Ying will arrange tasks for him, and they will surely be good positions, the kind where there is little work but a lot of money, just like a retirement job.

Just as Lin Jiang was about to leave, Cao Wang pulled him to see their newly developed weapon, and Lin Jiang went along.

"Ancestor Lin, this is our new developed weapon—a brand new war robot."

Cao Wang pointed at a huge robot and said this robot was almost one hundred meters tall, humanoid in shape, and full of a sense of technology.

However, the first things that came to Lin Jiang’s mind were mechas, Gundam, and Optimus Prime.

"What kind of robot is this? Aren’t war robots supposed to be smaller? Why make one this big?"

"Ancestor, this is different. In the past, robots were indeed small, but that was during the Blue Star’s internal wars. Now, we need to prepare for interstellar battles, which is not the same, so we developed this type of robot."

"Tell me what features it has. If you can’t convince me, I will not invest in production."

"Yes, Ancestor Lin, you have seen this robot. First, it is extremely large, over a hundred meters tall. Its massive body, combined with advanced space technology, allows it to carry a lot of energy. It even has a nuclear fusion engine inside, which enables it to fly farther, making it suitable for long-lasting battles in space."

Secondly, its combat method is different from previous robots. Previous robots did not have strong firepower, being considered strong only if they could carry some machine guns. They mainly relied on guiding heavy artillery or missiles from the rear.

But this one is different. It has strong combat abilities, and its body is very sturdy. It can withstand attacks from the latest model of the Spiritual Cannon, and we have equipped it with powerful weapons, including a large sword.

Additionally, it has other weapons inside, like tactical nuclear weapons and Spiritual Cannons, but it mainly focuses on close combat, as the energy consumption of the Spiritual Cannon is very high.

"The most important point is that rather than calling it a robot, it is more like a brand-new life form. Ancestor, guess how we designed it."

"You gave it unrestricted artificial intelligence."

"That’s impressive, Ancestor! You truly live up to your name. We did just that. It operates as its own system with artificial intelligence, which is a special kind of life. This means that it has a very high level of autonomous combat awareness, similar to a beast pet."

Cao Wang nodded. This was also the most dangerous place for them, because there was a possibility that the artificial intelligence could go out of control. Until now, Lin Jiang had been very cautious about artificial intelligence and had not upgraded it for many years.

"How strong is its overall combat ability?"

"It is hard to measure, but based on the data, it is not below the Soul Changing Stage. In fact, the Soul Changing Stage is definitely not its opponent. Moreover, this kind of technological product is not meant for one-on-one fights, but rather for group battles. Master, just imagine, if one day we counterattack into the world of Buddhist cultivation and deploy tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of these robots, what a scene that would be."

"It would be amazing, right?"

"Of course. It is not easy for a cultivator to nurture one, so it is best if no one gets hurt. If this kind of robot breaks, we can repair it; if it can’t be fixed, we won’t feel bad throwing it away, right?"

"Have the specific data tests been completed?"

"The first test has been completed, and the second test is still ongoing. There will be a total of six rounds of testing. Once the tests are completed, we can begin production."

"All right. If it passes, let’s make a hundred to start with. However, we need to add two rounds of safety tests in the meantime. If the artificial intelligence goes rogue, you know how great the danger would be."

Lin Jiang said that the automation in Blue Star was extremely high. If the artificial intelligence revolted, it would truly be a disaster. They could easily take control of the factories and produce robots in large quantities.

"Thank you, Ancestor Lin. I will never let you down."

"Alright, stop with the flattery. According to the old rules, send one to my house after you finish."

Lin Jiang nodded. This kind of creative idea should be encouraged. He needed to support Cao Wang and the others more. Besides, these robots cost less than Space Battleships. If they were produced, it might save a lot of money.

After leaving the Spiritual Energy Research Institute, Lin Jiang went to see Lin Ying and Big Shadiao. Small Shadiao went to Jiang Star, making Yunshan Villa much quieter.

Lin Ying is now behind the scenes in Huaxia. Even the Lin family is led by Lin Huafei and Lin Hongcong. Besides her daily training, Lin Ying takes care of the spiritual herbs and looks after the Lin family children. Her life is simple and dull.

"Stone King, no, I should call you Stone Emperor. Why are you here too?"

Arriving at the villa, Lin Jiang saw the Stone Emperor. It was already at Level Seven. Isn’t this guy claiming to have read every book in the world?

"Ancestor Lin, I have read countless books, but I haven’t traveled very much. Can I go out and have some fun?"

"Of course, that’s no problem. It was my mistake before. I apologize to the Stone Emperor."

Lin Jiang tapped his forehead. He had almost imprisoned the Stone Emperor before because he feared it would fall under the control of the Demon Queen and pose a great threat to the humans. Now, Lin Jiang was no longer afraid of that. He had just been very busy before and forgot about it. The Stone Emperor was a good-natured person and had never dared to ask for freedom, which made Lin Jiang feel a bit embarrassed.
