Chapter Fifty-Three Future Plans

  In response to the kind inquiry of this virtuous empress, Zhang Zixing intentionally asked: "The daughter of a minister? Is it that ordinary people's families are not allowed?"

  Jiang Wenchang was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Although it goes against the ancestral rules, the continuation of the imperial bloodline is the top priority. If Your Majesty insists on taking a commoner's daughter as a concubine, it's not unacceptable. My sisters will definitely get along with her and serve their husband together. Which new sister is from which noble family?"

  "The queen is indeed virtuous, but this selection must be kept secret for the time being," Zhang Zixing mysteriously shook his head and said: "You will understand when the time comes."

  Huang Feiyan couldn't bear to hear others selling Guan Zi, and hastily asked Zhang Zixing to respond with a few words. Suddenly thinking of Chao Nao, he couldn't help but be serious and said: "My body has not yet recovered, I still need to rest quietly for one night, can't disturb, the three virtuous wives should return to the back palace to rest first."

  Huang Feiyan heard that he was unwell and immediately stopped making trouble, following Jiang Wencang and Yang Jiu out of the imperial study.

  As soon as the three women left, Zhang Zixing immediately called out to Super Brain in his heart. He and Super Brain had always had a strange spiritual connection, no matter how far apart they were, they could sense each other. This sense even transcended certain spatial limitations, such as when Super Brain was trapped before, he could still connect with it in the spiritual world and obtain data. Now, even if Super Brain was separated from him, this subtle connection still existed, as long as the distance was sufficient, he could still receive Super Brain's joy from his heart.

  "Master, I'm right here......" The spiritual fluctuation sensed was coming from the bronze cauldron on the side. Zhang Zixing fixed his eyes and saw that the eyeballs of the beast head on the bronze cauldron actually rotated slightly, as if it were alive, which was exactly the disguise of Chao Nao.

  "Did you expend a lot of energy the night before last? How are you doing now?" Yesterday's battle using modernized tools was indeed exhilarating, but it wasn't as easy as it seemed on the surface. Especially that powerful super remote-controlled bomb that instantly destroyed the Green Hornet, it consumed precious components of the Super Brain's main body, which in this backward era, is almost irreparable damage.

  "The previous battle consumed 35% of the total energy, and manufacturing remote high-temperature bombs consumed a portion of microchips and super-biological alloys. Fortunately, the main components were not damaged." The superbrain replied: "In the past few days, I have replenished some energy by absorbing solar energy. Here, there are abundant biological materials available for use, but metals and minerals are scarce, and it is impossible to repair the lost parts of the components."

  Zhang Zixing furrowed his brow, this was a serious problem: although the super brain was a self-improving and evolving supercomputer that could automatically repair damaged components, if it had enough materials, it could self-repair. However, without sufficient energy, the lost energy could be replenished, but the damaged parts could not be manufactured or produced. If there were several more battles like this, the super brain would be completely dismantled.

  "If I have enough basic materials, I can start production mode to manufacture the missing parts by myself." As he said that, Superbrain spat out a long string of material names.

  "All of these can be extracted from the mines," Zhang Zixing's eyes lit up, "The mineral resources in this world are extremely rich and have not been developed yet. Currently, we need to explore the veins and then produce... no, we should mass-produce, that way we can manufacture more equipment!"

  Super Brain was originally just a computer for scientific research and did not have professional combat capabilities. The battle last night used the tools in the research mode. This is the free world of the Sealed Gods, there are no 24th-century regulations restricting the development of computer weapons. If all the necessary materials can be collected and the combat-related data in the database can be called up for weapon research and development, Super Brain with intelligent evolution function can be upgraded into a real super combat computer.

  Through the events of the previous night, Zhang Zixing also clearly realized another important fact - that the battle with Qingjiao Zhenren was not easy, especially considering his physical strength, which could not be thoroughly eliminated by ordinary weapons. This time, although Zhang Zixing had burned Qingjiao's body into ashes from the inside out using extremely high temperatures, Qingjiao's primordial spirit still managed to escape. Once he found a suitable body and cultivated it, this guy would have the possibility of turning things around again. And considering Qingjiao's strength, he could only be considered a low-ranking immortal; if it were someone like Yun Zhongzi, Zhang Zixing would likely be the one reduced to ashes. Not to mention that above these immortals are saints who are N times more powerful.

  It can be seen that relying on the technological power of the 24th century to deal with ordinary immortals may still have some hope, but wanting to deal with the greatest enemy - the Holy Man is unrealistic. It is necessary to combine various methods and means to finally change that tragic fate. After successfully releasing the super brain, Zhang Zixing already had a vague outline of future plans in his mind.

  In this plan, technological power is indispensable. Although technology is not omnipotent in this world, it has an unparalleled role in economic development and national prosperity. Zhang Zixing doesn't need to take a shortcut to success or bring cars and airplanes into this era. He needs the technology and power that can gradually change with the times. After all, the Great Merchant is still only at the initial stage of social hierarchy, and seeking quick success and instant benefits will only have the opposite effect. Moreover, the War of Gods is not equivalent to regular warfare, national strength and military strength are just a facade, and the greatest enemy is those guys with super-normal powers.

  Secondly, the power of technological weapons should not be underestimated. He was once a top-notch anti-matter scientist and knew the terrifying power of that energy. Under certain conditions, anti-matter weapons also possess the same destructive power as saints to destroy stars. Of course, weapons are inanimate objects, while people are alive, and the power of saints who own various magical artifacts may be far more than that, so one cannot place all their hopes on technological weapons alone, but neither can they be abandoned. One thing is certain: the development of scientific research must go underground, as a secret trump card known to no one, not to be revealed until the crucial moment when it will have an extraordinary effect.

  To develop advanced technology and military, not only a large amount of energy and resources are needed, but also advanced research and production equipment. Currently, except for the super brain itself, it can be said that nothing is available, and the primary problem to be solved is the collection of raw materials in the initial stage and the manufacture of simple production equipment.

  "Hyper Brain, in your current state, can you use decomposition mode?"

  Decomposition mode utilizes the biological characteristics of the super brain, using a principle similar to cell division, to separate multiple sub-bodies from the main body. Each sub-body has part of the main body's capabilities but cannot completely break away from the control core of the super brain. It is like the method of dividing one's body, except that each divided body is real; if a "divided body" is damaged, although the main body's intelligent system is unharmed, it will permanently lose this part of its components and the information collected by them.

  "Can use decomposition mode, but due to energy and equipment limitations, can only decompose into two sub-bodies at most."

  "After two...". Zhang Zixing deliberated for a long time and finally roughly determined the action plan for the next step.

  "Master, shall we initiate decomposition mode immediately?"

  "For the time being, I won't need it. In a few days, I'll give you instructions. Now, activate the automatic research mode and develop the weapon system." Zhang Zixing suddenly thought of Qingjiao's "Half Immortal Body", "Right, I feel that my body is a bit unusual, help me scan my physical condition first."

  Hyper Brain, obeying orders, began a comprehensive scan. Although Zhang Zixing had mental preparation, the results of the scan still startled him. The "half-immortal body" from his fetal stage was indeed not covered up. With his current physical quality index, he was even more terrifying than those special combat gene people in the 24th century. His strength quality was especially astonishing, with a single-handed grip exceeding 150,000 Newtons of force, and this was without considering the instantaneous burst of power in normal conditions. Apart from physical quality, his nervous system indexes and brain spiritual power had reached a terrifying level.

  It's strange that although his physical and spiritual strength increased greatly, his demand for energy actually decreased instead of increasing. No wonder those cultivators with deep attainments can go without eating or drinking, it's precisely because of this principle. Of course, the body of a half-immortal and an immortal are still vastly different, although Zhang Zixing can currently go without food for several days, he can't completely abstain from eating and drinking, especially after consuming large amounts of energy (such as during battle), he must eat to replenish it. The Embryonic Infant is not a baby-like creature as imagined, but rather an intangible "infant" that forms its own world within the spiritual consciousness, constantly absorbing and refining the primordial energy to grow stronger. Once this "world" can cover the original cultivation "world", it can be refined into the Primordial Spirit, and after passing through the Great Heavenly Tribulation, one can completely transform their body and achieve a true immortal body.

  In addition, another data scanned by the super brain also attracted Zhang Zixing's attention, that is, his body cells have an extremely strong regenerative ability.

  This strange regenerative ability had been possessed by Zhang Zixing since he first came to this world. At the beginning, in the battle of saving Sun Mou at the market, his shoulder was once pierced by a sword, but after returning to Shouwangfu, the wound automatically disappeared. In the following years, there were many such examples, and it was also the case when conquering Dongyi and subjugating the devouring spirits. The most striking manifestation was, of course, the incredible rebirth after his entire body was destroyed two nights ago.

  From the night vision image taken by the super brain, Zhang Zixing clearly saw the whole process. Now looking back at the terrifying scene of being burned to charcoal by lightning still has a lingering fear. When Yun Xiao gave Tianyan that day, he didn't think that Zhang Zixing would be so bold and daring, actually daring to bring the heavenly thunder onto his body for "cultivation". Zhang Zixing also didn't expect that Tianyan would have such great power, instantly melting those resistors. Fortunately, there was this super strong regenerative ability of the flesh, otherwise now it's likely already gone to the Sealed God Platform (it seems like at this time the Sealed God Platform hasn't appeared yet, probably still has to be a lonely ghost for some time).

  In fact, there is one thing he still doesn't know. On that day when he successfully reincarnated, the black jade pendant was actually the most important contributor to his success. If it weren't for the black jade pendant protecting his soul, even if he had super regenerative abilities, once his soul was scattered, he would not have been able to reincarnate.

  According to the super brain analysis, Zhang Zixing's current cellular characteristics in his body are somewhat similar to those affected by the biochemical recovery pool. Zhang Zixing recalled the scene in the laboratory that year and wondered if this was related to the recovery liquid absorbed on his body during the "crossing"?

  Although I don't understand, anyway, for now, I've managed to get through the most difficult part. Whether it's that mysterious black jade or my body's super regenerative ability, they're all extra surprises from this brain-escaping event.

  PS: I've been extremely unlucky lately. My home's water supply was cut off for a few days, and it suddenly came back on last night, but the water heater broke down at the same time. Since I hadn't taken a shower in several days, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I quickly washed up under cold water. This morning, I woke up with a headache and a low fever, feeling terrible. I need to go to the hospital for an injection. I'll post one chapter first; please make do with that. If I can hold on until this afternoon, I'll come back and update again.
