Chapter 133: The Problem of Power (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Actually, this was a very easy score to settle.
There were a total of 108 cultivators from the Chen family who had just reached school age. By next year, this batch of cultivators would become true cultivators and step onto the path of immortality.
At that time.
They needed to consume spiritual energy and various cultivation resources.
Let’s not talk about the issue of spiritual energy first.
In terms of cultivation resources alone.
Next year, the Chen family would have a total of 118 cultivators of the Dao generation and the Fu generation.
Among them, there was one Foundation Establishment cultivator and 117 Qi Condensation cultivators.
So many people.
Even if each Qi Condensation cultivator consumed an average of 1000 spirit stones per year, the cost of cultivation resources was still very high.
In a year, he would need close to 120,000 spirit stones.
One had to know.
This was only the first batch of cultivators of the Fu generation.
The Chen family would have more and more cultivators of the Fu generation.
In other words, the cultivation resources consumed by the Chen family would increase by hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones every year.
This was only the consumption of cultivation resources.
In the cultivation of cultivators, other than all kinds of cultivation resources, the most basic requirement was naturally spiritual energy, which was the need for spiritual veins.
The Chen family only had one level one spirit meridian at the moment.
To be honest.
The problem of the spirit vein was the biggest problem that the Chen family needed to solve.
Because Chen Daoxuan was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If this grade one spirit meridian was only for him to use, it was barely enough.
If the hundred Qi Condensation cultivators of the Chen Clan were to use it together with a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him…
That was far from enough.
Not to mention a few years later.
The cultivators of the Dao generation were about to start building their foundation, and there were more and more cultivators of the Fu generation.
Level 1 spirit meridians definitely wouldn’t work.
There were only two paths left.
First, increase the number of grade-1 spirit meridians.
Second, upgrade the Grade 1 Spiritual Heritage to Grade 2.
The first method required less spirit stones. After all, a grade 1 spirit vein only cost 100,000 spirit stones.
To the current Chen family, it was just a drizzle.
However, it wasn’t a problem for a Qi Condensation cultivator to cultivate a grade-1 spirit meridian.
However, it was not possible for a Qi Condensation cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment.
The Chen family wouldn’t have to borrow spirit veins from other families every time a cultivator reached foundation establishment, right?
It was impossible for others to lend it to you every time.
After all, after a second grade spirit meridian helped a cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment, it would basically be impossible for the next Qi Condensation cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment within ten years.
This was a huge loss for a family with a Grade 2 Spiritual Heritage.
Unless it was a grade three spirit meridian.
It could be used to build the foundation of Qi Condensation cultivators.
However, if he wanted to cultivate a grade-1 spirit meridian into a grade-3 spirit meridian, he would have to rely on it.
It would cost 11 million spirit stones.
Not to mention the Chen family, even for the Yang family and the Wu family, this amount of spirit stones was a huge sum.
Within a short period of time.
Of course, the Chen family could not afford such a huge sum of spirit stones.
Therefore, he had no choice.
He could only spend a million spirit stones to temporarily nurture the clan’s spirit vein to grade-2.
Chen Daoxuan followed behind Chen Liangyu.
Walking in the factory.
Compared to two years ago.
The Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Factory didn’t change much internally. The only change was that the number of apprentices in the factory had increased.
Seeing this scene.
“It seems that you’ve done a good job with the apprenticeship system these two years.” Chen Daoxuan nodded.
11
It’s all thanks to Young Patriarch’s guidance, Liangyu doesn’t dare to claim credit.”
Chen Liangyu cupped his hands with a smile on his face as he humbly said.
In the next moment.
Chen Daoxuan saw a furnace operator skillfully removing a spirit stone that had used up all of its spiritual energy from the melting spirit furnace in a production room.
He pointed at the production room and asked, “”Manager Chen, how many spirit stones does our flying sword factory consume every year?”
Chen Liangyu knew.
The consumption of spirit stones that Chen Daoxuan mentioned referred to the consumption of the formation power provided by each Harmonious Spirit Stove to refine the spirit ores.
It was the spirit stone that the furnace operator had just taken out from the bottom of the Thawing Spirit Furnace.
Hearing this question.
Chen Liangyu’s face was filled with bitterness as he complained, “”Young Patriarch, this Harmonious Spirit Stove is good in every aspect. The only flaw is that it consumes a lot of spirit stones every year.
According to the factory’s statistics, if each Harmonious Spirit Stove is working at full speed, it will consume one spirit stone in less than three days.”
ti
So many?”
Chen Daoxuan asked in surprise.
Previously, when he was working in the factory, Chen Liangyu had always been in charge of logistics.
Including the spirit stones consumed by the Harmonious Spirit Stove.
After all, there was only one Harmonious Spirit Stove at that time. Even if one spirit stone was consumed every three days, it would only consume a hundred spirit stones in a year.
With Chen Daoxuan’s ability to earn money back then.
He really didn’t pay much attention to the consumption in this aspect.
But now, the consumption of the nine Harmonious Spirit Stoves was much higher.
In just one year, the consumption of spirit stones alone had reached 1,000.
In the future, all kinds of magical equipment factories would be built in the industrial zone, and a large number of cultivators of the Fu generation would enter the factory.
The number of Harmonious Spirit Stoves of the Chen Family would increase explosively.
Suppose there were a thousand Harmonious Spirit Stoves.
The annual consumption of spirit stones alone would reach more than 100,000 spirit stones.
It was equivalent to devouring a spirit vein in a year.
Not to mention that the Chen family’s industrial process would be further advanced in the future.
Chen Daoxuan, who had studied engineering in his previous life, knew that the foundation of industrialization was motivation.
Whether it was the steam era or the electric era, the change in power would always sound the horn of the industrial revolution.
In this life.
The driving force Chen Daoxuan chose for the refining industry was spiritual energy.
This was because spiritual energy was a clean and almost unlimited energy source.
However, a few years ago.
Due to the limited conditions.
Chen Daoxuan was in a hurry to get the Harmonious Spirit Stove out, so he didn’t care about its power.
He directly used spirit stones to replace the power source of the Harmonious Spirit Furnace.
In reality.
Whether it was cultivation or using spirit stones as the power source of the Harmonious Spirit Furnace, it was an extremely wasteful act.
Although the spirit stone was called a spirit stone, it was not because of the little spiritual energy it stored.
To be honest.
The spiritual energy stored in the spirit stones was like a firefly compared to the spiritual energy produced by the spirit vein.
The place where spirit stones were truly precious.
It was because of the trace of power of creation that was wrapped in spiritual energy inside it.
It was precisely because of this trace of power of creation that spirit stones could nurture and upgrade spirit meridians.
He used the spirit stones as a power source.
Chen Daoxuan had basically thrown away the most precious trace of the Power of Creation in the spirit stones.
It was because of the Harmonious Spirit Stove that the production efficiency was greatly increased, increasing the profit by dozens of times.
Otherwise…
He simply couldn’t stand Chen Daoxuan’s prodigal behavior.
In the factory.
Chen Liangyu saw Chen Daoxuan frowning and stopped.
He was a little nervous.
Naturally, he didn’t know that Chen Daoxuan was thinking so far ahead.
In fact, he didn’t even know what was called ‘industrialisation’.
He only knew how to record the finances of the factory and deal with all kinds of logistics problems in the factory.
“Young … Young Clan Leader?”
After a while.
Chen Liangyu called out cautiously.
“Oh, it’s fine. Let’s continue.”
Chen Daoxuan returned to his senses and smiled.
But in his heart.
He had already secretly memorized the problem of power and was thinking about how to solve it..
