After the banquet, Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun returned to "Worou Villa".
A month later, Mei Hongyu and Li Man experienced significant physical changes after taking the elixir. Although they could not embark on the path of cultivation, the functions of their five internal organs were adjusted, their bodies felt relaxed and comfortable, and their long-lost youthful vitality returned.
Their impression of the Lu family has greatly improved, their doubts have been dispelled, and they have a better understanding of what it means to be a monk. They hope that their daughter can embark on the road to immortality, not to mention living to 1,000 years, and to enjoy more than a hundred years of good health. They were content to leave a few biological children behind.
In mid-December, Lu Qingshan achieved an incredible breakthrough with the help of the laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China, witnessed by dozens of physicists.
Protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus are composed of finer quarks through strong forces. Normally, quarks are constrained within neutrons and protons and cannot exist independently.
As early as 2017, through the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists collided two gold nuclei at close to the speed of light, using the collision temperature to be more than 300 million times higher than the surface temperature of the sun. Under the conditions, quarks and gluons are released, thereby obtaining "quark-gluon plasma". Participants in the study include about 500 scientists from 14 countries, including 6 research units in China.
But Lu Qingshan did not use an ion collider or a temperature 300 million degrees higher than the sun. He directly used a jade talisman to release quarks and gluons!
The physicists who were watching were dumbfounded! I think this is a complete scam! However, there are experimental videos and detailed test data records on site, so it is not that easy to fake it!
The physicist couldn't figure it out after much thought, so he could only ask Lu Qingshan to explain.
However, Lu Qingshan only said the word "rune" and refused to say the origin of the jade talisman or why the jade talisman worked.
As a result, this experiment cannot be published in a scientific journal! It wasn't even mentioned in the national news.
Just like the "Wind Prayer Talisman" researched by Luo Tao back then, although he got a degree and improved the efficiency of the wind turbine, he never published the paper!
Lu Qingshan’s research is the same.
He repeated the experiment three times in front of many physicists, and was recognized by many professors and experts, who agreed to grant him a doctorate, but he was unable to publish a paper!
Fortunately, the government in 2056 is different from 30 years ago. It adopts a pragmatic attitude and treats unexplainable phenomena. Not only does it agree to grant Lu Qingshan a degree, it is even willing to provide a scientific research fund to support him in continuing relevant research.
At this time, Lu Cheng came forward to reach an agreement with the government to build a new "Nuclear Physics Research Institute" in the mountains to the west of Yawurou. The country will acquire the land and hold 20% of the shares; "Nuclear Fusion Fund" The Lu family will provide part of the funds, accounting for 25% of the shares; the remaining funds will be borne by the Lu family, accounting for 55% of the shares.
Such a large research institute, with an investment of more than 100 billion, cannot be built in a day. But with sufficient funds, I believe it will not take more than two years to hand over the construction to China Construction Corporation.
In the winter of 2056, 21-year-old Lu Qingshan put on his doctorate hat and successfully graduated.
Mei Lingshang has basically finished her professional courses, and next she has to write her graduation thesis.
After some thought, she called Jiang Qiuyun: "Master, I want to write 'The Operation of Kunlun Mythology Film and Television Base'. As a graduation thesis in finance, will it affect the reputation of the Lu family?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "The Lu family acts with integrity, pays taxes according to the rules, and is not afraid of what others say. No problem. Don't say you are just writing about the film and television base, even if you are writing about the overall development of the entire Yawurou area with a radius of 60 miles, I will support you Yes. Do your research carefully and write the article well, which will help you participate in management in the future."
Mei Lingshang smiled and said: "Master, the topic you gave is too big. It is enough if I can write about the film and television base."
Time enters 2057.
Lu Cheng is still constantly shuttling back and forth between modern times and other worlds.
After he advanced to Heavenly Witch and Heavenly Martial Master, his skill progress became very slow. According to his estimation, if he could not find a shortcut, it would take at least a hundred years, or even three to five hundred years, for each Heavenly Witch to advance to one level; Every time a Heavenly Martial Master advances to a higher level, it takes sixty years of time.
After Qingmei advanced to Tianwu Master, she encountered the same situation as Lu Cheng.
However, the three spiritual warrior followers made rapid progress after taking many pills. Yingchu has reached the peak of the spiritual warrior and is in retreat to advance; Yao Shi has reached the 12th level of the spiritual warrior; Siping has reached the 11th level of the spiritual warrior. They have been with Lu Cheng for thirty or forty years.
Qingmei has been following Lu Cheng for the longest time. She often calculates in her mind how long it will be until 80 years.
On this day, she made the "nourishing tea" and knelt down beside it, waiting for Lu Cheng to drink tea.
Lu Cheng saw that her appearance had changed a little, and asked: "Qingmei, the fox girl has changed 18, how far have you reached in your cultivation?"
Qingmei smiled sweetly and said, "This is only the 12th change."
Lu Cheng asked: "If one day, you and I are separated, and we can't see each other after a thousand years, how will I recognize you when we meet again?"
Hearing this, Qingmei's face turned pale and she was filled with tears of joy: "Brother, don't you want me anymore? If I can't find you, I will go crazy!"
"I mean just in case."
"It's not possible in any case. Brother, you can't leave for that long."
"To prepare for a rainy day, I will make an agreement with you first. No matter how our appearance changes, we will be able to recognize each other by then."
Qingmei pursed her lips and stared at him with wide eyes.
Lu Cheng said: "You remember a poem: The cicadas sing in the West, and the guests in the South are deep in thought. The blue birds are beginning to stir, and the yellow plums are new. As long as someone says the first two sentences, it is me, or the messenger who represents my identity; If someone says the last two sentences, I will know that it is you or your direct disciple."
Qingmei bit her lip and kept wiping her tears, as if she had already seen that day.
Lu Cheng added: "If you and I are separated and cannot see each other again, and there is no news about each other, I will write 'Western Land Cicada Sings' outside the villa where I live! You can also write outside the house where you live, Leave a mark accordingly.”
Qingmei cried "wuwuwuwu", as if she had been greatly wronged, tears flowed down her face, and her cheeks and chin were covered with tears.
What used to be Hengbomu is now a fountain of tears. If you don’t believe that I have a broken heart, look in front of a bright mirror.
Lu Cheng relented. Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect. After all, she is the girl who has been with her for more than 40 years, and she is waiting for her carefully. Moreover, he put a lot of effort into Qingmei. Not only did he teach her a lot of runes and spells, he even completed modern primary school and junior high school education!
Who can hold back such a beautiful and charming girl crying uncontrollably in front of her?
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Qingmei's cheeks and chin, and comforted her: "Don't cry, I'm just preparing for a rainy day. The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
