The imperial capital, on Mount Zhijin.
Li Shouyi walked into the main hall where the golden body of Saint Emperor Guan was enshrined.
He solemnly picked up an incense stick, bowed respectfully, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
Saint Emperor Guan was the guardian god of the Federal Empire.
The latest title was: Guardian of the Federal Empire of Xia, loyal, righteous, martial, and efficacious Saint Emperor Guan.
It was a title officially approved by the Council of Ministers and the Emperor's Seal.
It was also one of the trump cards of the Federal Empire.
The emperor who enjoyed national sacrifices and was sealed by the Son of Heaven.
Once the ceremony was activated and he was fully awakened, he would at least have the power of a Lord God.
Now, the emperor had awakened a little of his divine sense and could officially communicate.
Therefore, Li Shouyi came here personally to communicate with him and obtain more information.
"Emperor!" He held his official seal and the golden book behind the emperor's seal and bowed. "I am here to pay my respects to the emperor on the order of the emperor!"
"Please show yourself, Emperor!"
A little spirituality gradually appeared on the huge golden body.
An oppressive divine might was emitted from the statue.
A dignified divine sense sounded in Li Shouyi's ears, "Commander-in-chief, please ask."
Li Shouyi's expression turned slightly cold.
"He recognizes the official rank of the empire?"
That was a very important piece of information!
In the past, the gods that the Blackguard had interacted with would always be arrogant when they met for the first time.
They would even treat mortals as slaves, pigs, and dogs.
They would ask for burnt sacrifices at every turn!
For such a guy, the Blackguard was naturally very considerate and prepared a full set of services for him.
Smashing the temple and removing sacrifices was a set of procedures.
These gods who only had a little bit of divine sense awakened were basically crying and begging for mercy.
However, it was the first time Li Shouyi had met a god like Saint Emperor Guan, who was very cooperative from the beginning and was even willing to admit the jurisdiction of the empire.
Thinking about this, Li Shouyi asked, "May I ask what the emperor thinks of the current world?"
This was also the first question the Blackguard would ask most gods.
The golden light on the statue was faintly discernible, and the emperor's voice said in his ears, "I am the Guardian God!"
"The decree is my order!"
Li Shouyi raised his head and looked at the god in disbelief.
Guardian God?
The highest legal institution of the Federal Empire was the Supreme Court.
The highest judge of the Supreme Court was the Great Protector.
The Great Protector had the right to interpret the Constitution.
He was only responsible to the Emperor, but he was under the command of the people.
It was elected by the Council of Ministers and the Emperor.
Therefore, the Grand Guardian claimed to be the gatekeeper and watchdog of the Constitution. He was widely regarded as a living sage and a living moral model.
As if sensing Li Shouyi's doubts, the God Monarch said, "I am born from an illusion, born from the prayers of the people …"
"Conferred by the Son of Heaven, the God of the Nation …"
"Today … the Son of Heaven receives orders from the people of the world … I receive orders from the Son of Heaven …"
"Therefore, I am the protector of the world!"
Li Shouyi raised his head, his face filled with disbelief.
This was because Holy Emperor Guan's words had revealed a fact: this Holy Emperor had not awakened from his slumber.
He was a God created from nothingness by the people with the recovery of spirit energy.
More importantly, the Emperor revealed a fact that made his heart beat faster. He said, 'The Son of Heaven receives orders from the people of the world, and I receive orders from the Son of Heaven.'
In other words, this Emperor would also change with the development of society, especially the development of ideas and culture.
Therefore, he was not a God in the ordinary sense.
… …
As he walked down Mount Zhijin, Li Shouyi's heart kept echoing the moment when he communicated with Holy Emperor Guan.
There was not much time for the Emperor to wake up now.
According to what he said, he could only wake up three times a month at most.
Each time could not exceed five minutes.
If he exceeded that, his origin would be damaged, and he would need a long time to recuperate.
However, as the recovery of spirit energy intensified, the time that the Emperor could wake up in the future would be longer and longer.
One day, the Holy Emperor Guan would fully recover.
"It seems …" Li Shouyi looked back at the Temple of the Holy Emperor Guan on Mount Zhijin and thought, "The Supreme Court might have a tenth Grand Guardian!"
This was the greatest result of his communication with the Holy Emperor Guan today!
This Emperor was born from the prayers of the people and the beliefs of all living beings. He was not only the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, but also the Holy Emperor of Pass who was conferred the title of 'Guardian, Loyal, Righteous, Mighty, Virtuous, Evil, Evil, and Evil'.
He was connected to the fate of the Empire and relied on the constitution and system.
Simply put, he was a God born by the Heavenly Dao to maintain order.
Because the Federal Empire had changed the definition of 'Heaven'.
Therefore, this God was walking the path of 'Heaven and Man'.
The thoughts of the people were the Heavenly Dao.
The laws of the people were the Heavenly Dao!
And he was the God who protected the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Dao.
The stronger the Heavenly Dao, the stronger he was, and the stronger his ability to execute the Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, at the end of the communication, the Holy Emperor Guan even made a request.
He wanted a supercomputer.
And it was the kind that was connected to the Internet!
What did that mean?
Li Shouyi naturally understood.
The Holy Emperor Guan could also keep up with the times!
That made Li Shouyi have an extremely absurd thought.
"In the end..." he thought, "In the end of the development of metaphysics, there might be a scene from science fiction..."
Super AI would deal with and distribute everything impartially.
That was something that many science fiction writers had fantasized about.
But who knew that it might not be a super AI, but a God born based on the wishes of all living beings?
"The end of science is metaphysics!" Li Shouyi thought of the famous words left behind by the late Grand Scholar Newton.
"Then what is the end of metaphysics?"
"Science?"
"Or perhaps... the essence of the two are different paths leading to the same goal..."
"Metaphysics, science... may all point to the same path..."
He thought of the coins given by the owner of the bookstore.
They looked like half a tael, but in fact, they contained endless energy, comparable to a small nuclear bomb.
After opening it, people found that the array inside was similar to a chip.
Innumerable miniature array formations were embedded together, and there were hundreds of millions of them!
But people had no way of knowing how these array formations were engraved into the interior of the small coin?
They didn\'t even know the principle.
They could only simply imitate its rules and arrangements.
"So..." Li Shouyi sighed, "The reason we can\'t know is because our level is too low!"
"It\'s like looking at a leopard through a tube, or like a blind man touching an elephant..."
Thinking of this …
"Go to the Imperial Capital Optoelectronic Research Institute!" Li Shouyi suddenly said to his driver.
"Yes!" The driver nodded. The car drove onto the highway and headed for the Optoelectronic Research Institute.
… …
Li Shouyi\'s car drove into the scientific industrial zone in the northern suburbs.
This was the largest cutting-edge technology research base in the empire.
It was also a paradise for the grand scholars.
All the institutions here enjoyed central financial subsidies and tax exemptions from the state.
The grand scholars could spend taxpayers\ 'money as they pleased to satisfy their fanatical pursuit of science and technology!
Many of the results of their research here had changed the world.
Integrated circuits, mobile phones, the Internet, satellites, and even space-based weapons were all born from the research institute in this industrial zone.
Therefore, this was the place with the strictest security.
There was a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five.
Ordinary people would be investigated even if they were to approach.
There were even a few retired generals who were cultivating here.
Li Shouyi\'s car was parked in the parking lot in front of the Optoelectronic Research Institute.
Zeng Jing, who had already received the news and notice, came out to welcome him personally with his men.
"Old Li!" Zeng Jing was very respectful in front of Li Shouyi. "Welcome! Welcome! "
Li Shouyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zeng Jing. "I didn\'t disturb the grand scholar\'s research, did I?"
"No!" Zeng Jing said with a smile, "We have been waiting for you to come. We have been waiting for a long time!"
That was the truth!
Other than being the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard, Li Shouyi also held several important positions.
One of them was the executive director of the Cabinet Science and Technology Committee, which was in charge of funding.
At the same time, he was also a member of the Science and Technology Ethics Review Committee, which was under the Council of Ministers. He had the power of veto.
He had the final decision on all matters involving transcendent being.
The Optoelectronics Research Institute was currently the largest project, and it was also directly led and managed by him.
"Let me take a look at our new photovoltaic power station!" Li Shouyi asked, "Has the first generator been assembled?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief... it has been assembled long ago!" Zeng Jing said with a smile, "And it has already started to generate electricity!"
"As long as the cabinet has enough funding..."
"The first batch of commercial power stations will definitely be able to start operation next year!"
Li Shouyi nodded and said, "As long as the technology is feasible, there is no problem with funding!"
The Federal Empire usually invested around 4% of the financial budget in scientific research every year.
More than 30% of them were spent on research related to psionic power.
Even if these research had only papers and no results so far.
However, the empire persevered and persevered.
Because this was related to long-term stability and national security.
Once uncontrolled power exploded, the world would be in chaos!
Why were there so many people in the Blackguard hostile to transcendent being?
They felt that those people were all potential 'Wei Boya Soldiers'. It was because these people were difficult to control once they had power.
A colonel-level rebellion could cause devastating deaths and injuries to the civilians.
Zeng Jing's face bloomed with a smile as he listened.
He felt that he was very close to being conferred the title of nobility by the Emperor.
"Elder Li..." Zeng Jing smiled and invited Li Shouyi in. "Since you are here, please take a look at our experimental power station!"
Thus, he led Li Shouyi to the elevator and arrived at the top floor of the research institute.
Here, pieces of silicon crystals were cut into solar cells, reflecting bright light under the sunlight.
Su Changming, a scholar wearing a hard hat, was inspecting the power station with a few students.
When they saw Li Shouyi and Zeng Jing, they all raised their heads.
"Elder Li!" They all cupped their hands.
Li Shouyi returned the greeting and then began to observe the power station.
Although Li Shouyi did not know much about photovoltaic power generation, he understood what was going on.
Its basic principle came from the photoelectric effect of the semiconductor itself, which formed an electric current.
The photovoltaic power station in front of him also used a similar principle.
But...
Li Shouyi's eyes slowly narrowed.
Because he saw faint psionic power ripples flowing on the surface of these silicon chips.
So...
Other than generating electricity, it could also collect psionic power in sunlight?
Li Shouyi turned his head and asked Zeng Jing, "Scholar Zeng... How's the progress in psionic power?"
When Zeng Jing heard this, he shook his head slightly. "Elder Li... We haven't found a good psionic power storage technology for the time being..."
"Most of the psionic power collected by the power station... We can only collect and use it on the spot..." He pointed at a few magic circles set up in front of the power station. "We are now directly transporting the collected psionic power to these magic circles. Then, with the help of a few officers of the Blackguard, they will convert the psionic power into spells..."
"What spells?" Li Shouyi asked.
Zeng Jing chuckled. "Dust removal..."
"Now, our building can be said to have a constant cleaning spell..."
Li Shouyi listened and nodded.
Dust removal was a basic spell that could be used by a lieutenant.
It was also a common spell used by transcendent being.
After all, washing clothes was a very troublesome thing for many people.
With the dust removal spell, most of the dust and stains were immediately cleaned up with a spell.
It was also the spell with the highest popularity rate at present.
From him to the lieutenant of the Blackguard, everyone was using it, and the effect was very good!
"Now, the psionic power generated by this power station can maintain the dust removal of this building?" Li Shouyi asked the key point.
"More or less!" Zeng Jing replied, "Sometimes it may not be enough... but it doesn't matter..."
"We don't need to dust all the time..."
"In fact, other than the initial demonstration, we only dust a dozen times a day..."
Li Shouyi's eyes lit up as he listened. "We don't need to dust all the time..."
This sentence made him suddenly enlightened.
Yes...
Most spells only needed to be used at critical moments.
At other times, it was the right thing to do to hide it.
Therefore, he asked, "Can you solve the problem of psionic power storage?"
Zeng Jing shook his head. "It's very difficult!"
"The characteristics of psionic power are very special..."
"There's no pattern to it..."
"And it can easily dissipate!"
"If..." he looked at Li Shouyi and said, "We can have the array technology engraved in the coin..."
"Even if it's only one percent..."
"It should also be able to be stored..."
Unfortunately...
Li Shouyi also sighed.
He had seen the cracked coin before. It could be said to be a supernatural work!
Hundreds of millions of tiny spell formations were gathered together in a very special way.
And those arrays could not even be seen clearly.
They could not be observed!
Because they were not engraved on the material at all.
They were engraved on the psionic power.
They were like restraints, restraining the huge amount of psionic power.
All the instruments in the Federal Empire could not directly observe it.
They could not even see it, so how could they talk about research?
However, Li Shouyi's heart was still extremely agitated.
Because he finally confirmed it.
Science and metaphysics could be intertwined!
Now, the reason why people could not learn metaphysics was perhaps as he thought.
The ability of life was too low, and the knowledge they had was too little.
Just like how ants could not explain humans, how could humans explain more advanced things?
