The system endows longevity, and immortality can finally be expected

Zhou Tong knew nothing about the disastrous defeat of the coalition forces. He went out to search for a month, killed some low-level bugs that were alone, and found a few groups of survivors, and brought them to the dungeon in batches.

It's just that the survivors are too scattered. Even if newcomers join, the population of the dungeon is still less than 500.

Zhou Tong didn't dare to go too far. The people here are all low-level insects. If they encounter stronger insects in other places, it will be extremely difficult to escape.

He had no choice but to focus on the underground city and set the search range within a radius of hundreds of miles.

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

After Zhou Tong's careful search, he never encountered a single survivor. Perhaps there were some people who hid more secretly to avoid his spiritual detection, but staying in the outside world for a long time would greatly increase the risk. Had to temporarily abandon the search plan.

Within a range of hundreds of miles, there were only more than 1000 living people left, which made him feel that his original thoughts were a bit too objective.

From this point of view, the humans in the occupied areas are almost extinct.

With more than 1000 people, it is almost unrealistic to develop a civilization. Zhou Tong needs more available manpower to help him explore further places.

It's just that these people in the dungeon don't have the ability to survive in the outside world at all.

In a certain period of time, this task can only be completed by oneself.

Zhou Tong can only hope that other survivors can persist longer.

Back in the dungeon, I asked Kuntu about the situation during this time.

After the initial panic, the survivors have gradually adapted to this place.

One of the group of survivors was the group that Zhou Tong and the others met at first.

One of them, a young man named He Chenchen, relied entirely on self-study without any guidance, and actually got a score of more than [-] in the latest assessment.

Zhou Tong was also very surprised when he heard this.

No one knows better than him the difficulty of the questions he posed. An ordinary person can learn so quickly in less than a year. This He Chenchen immediately aroused his interest.

"Bring this person over in a moment."

Zhou Tong ordered.

After Kuntu wrote down the matter, after hesitating for a while, he still said: "Master, some mortals can't stand such high-intensity study. Do you need to slow down?"

When Zhou Tong heard this, he looked at Kuntu and directly rejected his proposal.

"I can't slow down. I searched hundreds of miles for my teacher to find so many people. Judging from the size of the foggy city, this place must have been quite prosperous, with a population of at least hundreds of thousands within a hundred miles. , now there are only a few thousand people, and human beings are already on the verge of extinction.

Tell them that if they want to live here, as long as they have a breath, they must obey orders unconditionally. If they feel that their freedom is restricted, they can choose to leave and go outside to fend for themselves.

Kuntu, now we can't take any chances. If we make a wrong step, all our efforts will be in vain.

While hiding ourselves well, we can quickly increase our strength to win us a chance.

Now that there is no news from the south, I am afraid that the situation of the battle is extremely unfavorable.

As a teacher, I can't confirm how long the monks can last. Once they fail completely, a large number of bugs will withdraw from the battlefield. By then, our situation will be even more dangerous.

We must take advantage of this time to improve our strength as much as possible.

Your heart must cool down, the current situation does not allow us to have a little weakness and relaxation.

"

Kuntu bowed and said: "The disciple understands."

"Well, you cultivators have to take on more responsibilities, well, let's go down."

Zhou Tong waved his hand.

Soon after Kuntu left, he brought a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to see Zhou Tong.

As Kuntu left, only Zhou Tong and two were left in the secret room. The young man seemed very nervous, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:

"Little man He Chenchen, I pay my respects to Master Xianshi."

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Get up, sit down and talk!"

He Chenchen got up and just stood there stiffly, not daring to sit down at all.

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so nervous, sit down!"

"Thank you, Master Immortal!"

He Chenchen sat on the chair with half of his buttocks as if on pins and needles.

"I heard from Kuntu that you did well in the recent assessment."

He Chenchen heard the words and said hastily: "The villain still has a lot of questions to answer, so I dare not be praised by Mr. Kuntu like that."

Zhou Tong said: "Being able to achieve this step in such a short period of time is enough to be called a genius. Don't belittle yourself. I plan to transfer you to be an assistant to Wang Yuanji and the others. You are interested."

He Chenchen was stunned for a while, and couldn't believe his ears, and said excitedly and panicked: "Small... how can a villain have the qualifications to help Master Xianshi."

Zhou Tong said noncommittally: "In my place, there is no distinction between immortals and ordinary people, and the purpose of cultivating immortals is to study and conduct related experiments more efficiently.

If you study by their side, it will help your growth to a certain extent. Technological progress requires a flash of genius, and sometimes monks may not be better than ordinary people.

Now the mountains and rivers are broken, young man, work hard, and strive for one day we can regain our world.

"

He Chenchen's face flushed with excitement.

"The villain will never fail the kindness of the adult's cultivation."

Zhou Tong smiled: "Okay, young man is aggressive, I hope you can continue to surprise me."

Excited He Chenchen left. Many years later, when he became the head of the Academy of Sciences, recalling the days of hard work, it still made people excited.

Zhou Tong used his spiritual sense to explore the dungeon, and seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, he also started his own research.

The development of science and technology is inseparable from energy. Compared with the earth, the cultivation world has more spiritual energy.

But it is not a simple matter to apply psionic energy to technological creations.

What Zhou Tong wants to study is how to use psionic energy and formations to temporarily replace fossil energy. Now they are trapped in the dungeon, and traditional energy acquisition methods cannot be realized.

Only spiritual energy can replace traditional fossil energy.

Although it is not as efficient as theoretical controllable nuclear fusion, if successful, it is definitely the best energy source before the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Without energy, the study of microscopic particles is out of the question.

To allow mortals to have the strength comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage, only nuclear weapons can do it.

Zhou Tong's knowledge reserve can only provide a theoretical basis for his research direction, and he still has to explore the specific experiments by himself.

Strong mental power can support him to carry out complex deduction.

Although it is not as good as a supercomputer, its own conditions are much better than the earth civilization in the early twentieth century.

As long as the bugs don't find him and verify it day after day, he is confident that the mushroom cloud will bloom in this world.

The emergence of nuclear weapons will also provide a theoretical basis for controllable nuclear fusion.

Only with the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion can one's own civilization get rid of energy constraints, break through the level of a first-level civilization, and produce weapons that are comparable to the destructive power of the infant stage.

And this kind of weapon can be copied as long as the material is sufficient.

In the earth civilization, there are two mainstream research directions of controllable nuclear fusion devices, tokamak devices and stellarators.

This is due to technical limitations, and neither direction has had real success.

And the refining method in the world of cultivating immortals can solve the problem of superconducting materials at room temperature, which is the most critical link in controllable nuclear fusion.

"Maybe the spiritual control methods in the cultivation world can provide me with a good idea."

It's just that this kind of high-end research direction is still too far away for him, so he can only record his ideas for verification when the technology matures in the future.
