My Divine Diary
chapter-480

Two months later, Su Hao stopped the experiment of inserting consciousness into animal brains and came to a preliminary conclusion: with his current technology, there was no way to fully implant a person’s consciousness into an animal brain and rely on the animal brain for thinking.

Su Hao briefly summarized that the information structure of human consciousness is incompatible with the structure of animal brains. Forcibly inserting it would only disrupt the biological structure of the brain, and the biological structure would in turn affect the information structure.

And the first consciousness used by Su Hao for experiments became chaotic after the animal experiment was completed.

Su Hao casually erased the consciousness information and turned to ponder the second question: if a brain that cannot accommodate consciousness information shows slight rejection when consciousness information approaches, can it be assumed that as long as I find a brain that does not reject consciousness information, it means that consciousness can operate through it?

As for specifics, further experiments were needed.

Try inserting the consciousness information of a male cat into a female cat’s brain…

The purpose of this experiment was to find that subtle attraction and repulsion and summarize it.

…

Five years later, Yashan sent an urgent message: “Boss Wei, the headquarters of the Huayang Beizhou Starry Sky Trading Company has been attacked. Several immortal gates have united to form a huge team and have taken over all the factories in Huayang Beizhou.”

Su Hao exited the pinball space, took a deep breath, and then appeared in front of Yashan: “Where’s my third uncle?”

Yashan was dressed in professional attire, his muscles bulging the clothes, standing straight with an extraordinary air about him.

There was no hint of anxiety on his face, and he calmly said, “Boss Wei, the third uncle has already returned to the Starry Bay through the teleportation array. Our company has always been prepared for this, so the core personnel losses are not great, but many middle-level managers from the Feng, Yun, Hua, and Zhang families have died.

As soon as the other party entered, they massacred the factory administrators on a large scale, without even giving them a chance to react. Now all the factories are under their control, and our tentacles have been completely cut off.”

These dead administrators were mainly from the four families’ servants and accountants, not vital, but still a significant blow.

Su Hao said, “We’ve been waiting for this day, just didn’t expect it to come so soon. Your progress seems not slow. Tell me! What’s going on exactly?”

Yashan smiled and said, “As early as two years ago, our factories, centered around Morley Manor, spread across the entire Huayang Beizhou and built roads extensively, connecting the main cities, forming a well-connected network. And the lifestyle of the entire population of Huayang Beizhou has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

This change has dealt a devastating blow to the existing industries. When the vested interests of those existing industries reacted, they mobilized numerous small and large attempts and even used the military of the mortal dynasty, but we blocked them all one by one. We even wiped out a small kingdom’s regime and personally supported a new regime…

Later, as we continued to advance like a broken bamboo, we finally attracted the attention of major and minor immortal gates, who then started plundering our machinery, destroying a large number of our factories, and dispersing our workers…

I took the teachers from the academy and visited those troublesome immortal gates one by one. I thought it would calm down for a while, but after two years, they couldn’t help but jump out again. It’s probably because we’ve really touched their vested interests!”

The leaders this time were the top immortal gates of Huayang Beizhou, Sanhe Peak, and Xiangbeishu Six Transformations Gate, who joined forces with the top immortal gates of several large states and various major immortal gates around them, wanting to completely divide the star industry.”

Obviously, the cultivators of these major immortal gates are not fools. After observing in Huayang Beizhou for a period of time, they all realized what these simple machines really meant: these inconspicuous things could change the pattern of the cultivation world!

What shocked them the most was that they actually saw the Starry Sky Trading Company converting the ubiquitous wind and water into spiritual energy, storing it in spiritual stones for daily machine use.

This completely subverted their understanding of spiritual energy!

What was the purpose of laying out Lingsha Continent for so many years? Isn’t it for the almost endless supply of spiritual stones above Lingsha Mountain?

Their greed couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.

So these astute people quickly reached a consensus: since the Starry Sky Trading Company is newly established and ownerless, if they don’t seize the opportunity now, when will they?

Once the situation stabilizes, there won’t even be a chance to get a sip of the soup!

Su Hao smiled and said, “These people are not fools. They can all see the value of water-powered spiritual stations. With just a little thought, they’ll know that the source of spiritual stones for future immortal gates will undergo tremendous changes, and Lingsha Continent will no longer be their first choice.

However, what I didn’t expect was that they didn’t even bother to negotiate, just directly resorted to force.”

Yashan chuckled and said, “My ‘Flash’ is not very useful in battle. After fighting a few rounds with the opponent, I found that I can manage against five or six Unity Realm cultivators, but if I’m besieged by ten or twenty of them, with all sorts of diverse techniques, I can’t handle it. So, I’ve come to ask for help from Boss Wei this time. This matter, you’ll have to handle it personally.”

Su Hao could understand this. In one-on-one situations, Yashan wasn’t afraid even of top-tier bosses like Immortal Master. Just by using the artifact Su Hao improved, the ‘Twenty-Four Flying Sword Formation – Illusionary Formation Plate,’ he could flip people over with a single glance. But when faced with multiple opponents, Yashan couldn’t handle it.

It wasn’t just Yashan, if Su Hao’s Flash was as weak as Yashan’s against a large number of cultivators, he wouldn’t have much of an advantage either.

The reason he stood undefeated among cultivators was mainly due to Su Hao’s ‘space’ ability, not so much the strength of his shield or attacks.

Because if Su Hao didn’t have an extraordinarily agile spatial teleportation ability, once he was trapped by a cultivator’s immobilizing technique or formation, he would become a target for the opponent’s siege, just a ridiculously powerful boss.

Su Hao said, “If the other party were a bit more discreet, coming to steal or bribe people, I wouldn’t say anything. I’d even welcome their participation in research. But killing people and then forcibly seizing things is absolutely unacceptable! In that case, I’ll go and chop off all the hands they’ve stretched out! Let everyone know that trying to be strong against me won’t work; they’ll have to sit down and talk properly.”

As for what to talk about and how to talk, that would be for Su Hao to decide.

…

Su Hao and Yashan walked one after the other on the streets of Morley City.

Pedestrians came and went, the wide and smooth concrete main road extending far into the distance, with lines drawn in the middle. Strange-looking iron-skinned trucks carrying full loads of goods shuttled back and forth on the streets, uniformly driving on the right side, with clear order. Whenever a vehicle passed by, it would always attract the attention of a large number of pedestrians. Although it was common, it still appeared extremely novel to everyone.

Occasionally, among the trucks, there are smaller vehicles squeezed in, only able to seat four people. Every time they pass by, they receive waves of envious glances. Those who can drive these small cars are undoubtedly wealthy individuals.

These four-wheeled spiritual energy cars are beyond the reach of most people, but the small two-wheeled spiritual energy cars passing by on the roadside can still be obtained with some effort.

The pedestrians coming and going are dressed more stylishly, with diverse styles, similar to Hanfu, neat and refined, with fabric structures that indicate they are woven by automatic looms.

Half of the houses on both sides of the street look very new, obviously renovated in recent years. The new-style houses are uniformly connected with standardized electrical wires and pipes. There are faint signs of spiritual energy objects inside, such as spiritual energy lamps, spiritual energy fans, spiritual energy stoves, and so on.

Having such a set of new-style houses in Morley City is considered wealthy.

From these wealthy households, beautiful songs occasionally emanate, causing passersby to stop and listen intently.

In the teahouse, on the storytelling stage, there is a square box placed, from which a sweet female voice can be heard clearly, articulating each word crisply, narrating the latest news from various places. However, upon closer listening, one would notice that the content is repetitive:

“The largest spiritual energy engineering vehicle factory outside Anli City has been completed, with President Feng Xianglong attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony…

Last year’s grain harvest increased twentyfold compared to the previous year, and it is expected to double again this year…

The Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Yun Sui, Huarong, Zhang Zheng’ three branches openly seek cooperation…

The Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce plans to build a large-scale hydraulic spiritual energy station in the Longting Gorge, providing energy that can radiate to twenty cities…”
