My Divine Diary
chapter-479

“The collected consciousness information now numbers in the hundreds, completely sufficient. It’s time to go back!” Su Hao flashed and was teleported back to the Starry Bay.

Coincidentally, Yashan came over with a smile on his face. “Boss Wei, the second batch of freshmen is about to enroll, and we will need you to make a personal appearance. This time, there will be over two hundred more students recruited compared to the previous batch, and they are all excellent talents!”

Su Hao raised an eyebrow. “You actually managed to find so many students with talents for cultivation?”

Yashan smiled. “After we recruited students last year, we left behind information. Every year at this time, we hold the Ascension Enrollment Ceremony in a fixed location. This time when we went, we found it packed with people. There’s always no shortage of young people wanting to cultivate immortality. Moreover, based on the analysis of the cultivation situation of the first batch of students, I proactively lowered the requirements for talent, so the number of qualified candidates will be higher this time.”

Yashan continued, “However, there was a little unexpected situation in recruiting this time. The local immortal sects expressed dissatisfaction with us openly snatching people on their turf, but after I and Feng Cheng had a talk with them, they stopped complaining. I believe we will be able to recruit even more students next year.”

With such smooth progress, Su Hao was very satisfied. He nodded slightly in approval to Yashan and then asked about other matters, “How have things been progressing this year?”

Yashan reported one by one, “Once the affairs of the academy were on track, I handed them over to Feng Cheng to handle. Now, I mainly liaise with Third Uncle’s ‘Starry Sky Trading Company’. Factories have been established around the Morley Manor, and with the trend towards industrialization, efficiency has increased by more than a hundredfold.

“There have been many people coveting and trying to suppress us during the process, but I have rooted them out completely. Of course, there are also many seeking cooperation, and Third Uncle has handled them well, gradually improving the cooperation agreements.

“In general, as long as I keep an eye on the trading company until it is fully developed, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

“Recently, I have been studying high-energy concentrated spirit stones. After thoroughly understanding the principles of spirit energy transmission that you uploaded, Boss Wei, there has been progress. The highest quality spirit stones that can currently be produced have reached the level of infant stage spirit energy. After further optimization, it is expected that higher quality spirit stones can be obtained.

“The energy problem is also about to be solved, just a few years away from a major breakthrough…”

Yashan quickly summarized various matters during this period.

Su Hao praised, “The progress with the spirit stones is beyond imagination. Well done.”

He then officially assigned Yashan the next task, “Yashan, you should break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible to improve your self-protection ability. Then, take over the spirit energy products in my laboratory, and, along with Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and your students, participate in the design and development process to accelerate progress.

“The general sequence of development is: popularize industrialization, complete the coverage of spiritual energy sources as soon as possible, develop spiritual wave signal stations to cover major cities, and develop synchronous satellites… The primary goal is to make the signal cover the entire planet as much as possible, reaching the point where everyone has a terminal and achieving information exchange…”

After some thought, Su Hao added, “Leave me messages about any technical issues you encounter.”

Yashan was excited! He answered loudly, “Yes, Boss Wei!”

What is passion? This is it!

……

Later, at the opening ceremony of the second batch of students, Su Hao also attended on time. After a year, he appeared in front of the crowd again, encouraged a few words in the admiring eyes of many young students, and then left gracefully, returning to his own laboratory.

In the laboratory, Su Hao had already handed over all kinds of odd gadgets to Yashan. These gadgets didn’t have a high level of technical content, and Yashan and others could figure out the logic behind them with a little analysis and then replicate them.

For Yashan, the real challenge was continuing the product ideas of electrical technology and realizing them with spiritual power. This involved a vast amount of knowledge in various disciplines.

For example, the study of spiritual materials, even with countless years of accumulation and summary in this world, still required a complete reorganization to place the appropriate materials in the right positions. This was an exceptionally energy-consuming task, and who knew how much time it would take.

The key point was that this was not something one person could accomplish. Faced with such a huge system, Su Hao shook his head: Whoever wanted to do it could do it; he didn’t want to bother!

This was one of the reasons why Su Hao, after studying for several years, immediately handed over the task to Yashan when he heard that he was available.

To accomplish this, not only did the students of the Starry Sky Academy need to participate, but also a civilized society!

The reason why Su Hao vigorously promoted spiritual technology was precisely to reap the fruits of civilization, wasn’t it?

Now that Su Hao had successfully produced some useful gadgets, he had demonstrated them to Yashan and others, indicating the direction forward. The next steps would require the people of this world to take them.

Fifty years, one hundred years, five hundred years…

Previously, he couldn’t wait, but now, Su Hao could wait.

As long as he stayed steady and didn’t make mistakes, he might not even die directly even if the planet exploded.

Su Hao then entered the pinball space, waved his hand, and more than five hundred small black rooms materialized, containing the consciousness information collected over the past year. “For me, the most important thing is to free consciousness from the shackles of the flesh and continue my thinking ability. Only by focusing all my energy and attention on this matter is it possible to achieve a breakthrough. Fortunately, Yashan is here to help; otherwise, I would be overwhelmed.”

The role of Yashan as an assistant became increasingly important as Su Hao’s research scope widened. From only being able to help him with chores like laundry and cooking and handling daily trivial matters before, Yashan could now even independently research a major project with him.

Without Yashan’s assistance, Su Hao would inevitably be distracted by many things.

Su Hao glanced at the hundreds of motionless consciousnesses in front of him, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and said softly, “So, the first goal is to make these consciousnesses move!”

He had previously conducted a series of experiments using small round rodents, and Su Hao had a series of experimental foundations on consciousness information. In the first phase, he was just replicating the experiments he had done on small round rodents using human consciousness information.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Su Hao wanted to understand a question that had puzzled him for a long time: Why were humans or humanoid creatures reincarnated each time? Could animals work? Could other intelligent beings work?

It was simple to find out! Just do the experiment!

Su Hao exited the pinball space, and his spiritual tentacles reached out. A canine-shaped creature appeared in front of Su Hao; this was his reconnaissance summon.

As soon as this canine-shaped creature appeared, it wagged its tail and wandered around Su Hao, full of excitement, its eyes showing excitement, as if it had met a compatriot from a foreign land.

Su Hao: “…”

Using this dog for experiments is a bit of a waste! Look at how obedient and well-behaved it is!

After some thought, Su Hao decided to give up. He had plenty of summon creatures; he might as well keep this dog thing!

The fate of this dog was so strange, its life and death hanging by a thread.

Then he summoned a lizard, without giving the lizard a chance to act cute, he directly wiped out its shallow consciousness, leaving behind an empty shell.

Su Hao approached, placed his hand on the lizard’s head, and used himself as a springboard between the pinball space and the lizard’s brain, selecting any one of the more than five hundred consciousnesses and injecting it into the lizard’s brain.

Su Hao thought to himself, “Let me see if ‘Reincarnation as a Lizard’ is feasible after all!”

After a moment, Su Hao released his hand and muttered, “Not possible?”

At first, Su Hao tried to input human consciousness information into the lizard’s brain according to the normal process but found that it was completely incompatible. There was no sign of human consciousness information establishing a connection with the lizard’s brain.

Later, Su Hao forcibly infused consciousness information into the lizard’s brain, which did work, but eventually the lizard’s brain collapsed. It twitched and convulsed on the ground without consciousness, and its normal physiological functions became disordered. It was expected to die naturally in a few days.

What surprised Su Hao the most was that the lizard’s brain actually had a certain impact on human consciousness.

“Let’s try other creatures.”

Roosters, hens, big cats, elephants, cows, sheep, birds, monkeys, chimpanzees…
