Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 149: Chapter 121 Mutual Gaze

164 chips named ‘Dragon Heart Generation’ by Li Shiming, 32-bit core, 168MHz, 1Mx8 memory, RAM 192Kx8, 1.8V voltage.

The Dragon Heart chip generation was nothing extraordinary, but it was adequate for some facilities that didn’t require particularly large calculations.

Li Shiming planned to produce many batches of such chips, partly to accumulate production experience and partly to secure a reasonable plan for acquiring Spirit Stones.

With the chips, the implementation of an LED display for the Identity Jade Disc became possible.

Yes, he placed the plan to acquire Spirit Stones reasonably above equipping the Identity Jade Disc with an LED display. The Identity Jade Disc was initially able to provide remote visual communication similar to virtual imaging.

However, that required the coordination of an Array, and additionally, this feature was only open to the high ranks of the sect, not to ordinary cultivators.

Using his knowledge of Arrays and with the computational power of the IBM z15, Li Shiming successfully transformed some of the Array’s information into data, thereby achieving dataization of the Array.

This research achievement was useful only to him; without the help of the chips, no cultivator could handle complex hexadecimal data.

He made a case similar to cell phones from his previous life and placed the Identity Jade Disc inside it. The Identity Jade Disc’s information could then be displayed on a 16 cm LED screen, and touching the screen could activate simple functions of the Identity Jade Disc.

This function was remote visual communication with friends, which was effective only within a thousand-mile range of the Sect Formation. Beyond this range, it couldn’t connect to the Sect Formation.

When the screen was tapped, a friend list from the Identity Jade Disc would appear, and one could choose whether to enable visual communication.

He also made a restriction in the chip; it could only connect to the Sect Formation of the Sky Sea Sect and recognize the Identity Jade Disc of the Sky Sea Sect.

Since the LED display and chips did not consume much energy, he used a small battery powered by a Formation that drew a tiny current from a Spirit Stone, continuously charging the small battery.

A single Spirit Stone could power this visual communication device for several years. While not as functional as modern cell phones, in terms of energy, it absolutely outperformed them.

In terms of security, once the chip and the Identity Jade Disc were locked once, they were securely bound.

The Identity Jade Disc of the sect was already extremely secure, requiring the owner to unlock it for use, which simplified the most complex security features.

Li Shiming then designed some complex Formations for it—those that weren’t much practical use but required the computational power of an IBM z15 to understand.

Yun Ze was invited to Eagle Beak Island and was somewhat curious about the place.

Previously, during his deliveries, Li Shiming never allowed him to enter the island.

Many types of Spirit Plants were planted in the spirit field, none of which were particularly rare varieties.

He was familiar with these Spirit Plants since all the spirit seeds came from his purchases.

The natural limitations of the High-level Lower Grade Spirit Field prevented the cultivation of precious Spirit Plants, but these plants had grown for several months, creating a different landscape on the island.

The Spirit Bamboo also split into five main branches, cared for by an Intermediate Spirit Plant Cultivator, growing very quickly due to their undemanding nature.

“Junior Li, is there a big order this time?” They sat down at the stone table outside the cave, and Yun Ze was the first to speak.

It wasn’t odd for him to ask this; previous orders involving hundreds to thousands of Spirit Stones were directly sent through the Identity Jade Disc.

Such a formal invitation this time inevitably made him think of a large order.

He was also curious about how many Spirit Stones Li Shiming actually had, considering Li Shiming had only been in the sect for a year; his wealth was truly terrifying.

“Senior Yun is joking, where would I have any Spirit Stones left!” Li Shiming said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

This made Yun Ze pause slightly, unsure why Li Shiming would say such a thing. Could it be that he intended to borrow Spirit Stones?

According to Yun’s Trading House’s standards, Li Shiming was eligible for a loan, but Yun Ze was unaware of what circumstances would make Li Shiming need to borrow Spirit Stones to get by.

“All my Spirit Stones have been invested in a research project, which has finally yielded some results. That’s why I invited Senior Brother to help evaluate whether this research has any value,” Li Shiming continued to explain.

“What research is it?” Yun Ze asked, interested.

“This device is called ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View,’ and it needs to be used with an Identity Jade Disc!” Li Shiming said with a smile as he took out the Identity Jade Disc case named ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ and handed it over for introduction.

Yun Ze received the ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’, and from its name, he could guess its functionality.

When he inserted his own Identity Jade Disc into the slot at the back of ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’, the screen suddenly lit up.

It first displayed the majestic sight of nine peaks, with white clouds drifting between them, a scene that embodied the setting of an immortal family.

Just seeing this display made Yun Ze widen his eyes, astounded by the little device in his hands and curious about how it could produce such effects.

Similar effects existed in the Cultivation World, like the more immersive Illusion Array or the projection devices made from large Spiritual Objects and Crystal Stones, but those required a great cost to achieve.

Yet this little device before him, although he didn’t know what material the LED display was made of, he was one hundred percent certain it was not a Spiritual Object.

Thinking about the massive amounts of mundane materials delivered over the past months, Yun Ze finally understood where Li Shiming had been applying these mundane materials, which also explained why he needed such large quantities of them.
