My brother is so cunning.

In the dim underground hall, four cylindrical colored glaze jars were neatly arranged. Apart from these jars, the hall was empty. It was obvious that there were reserved positions, and many bases for fixing the jars had been laid on the ground.

In the four colored glaze jars, just like the formaldehyde soaked monsters, the four dead survivors of Dingguang Xianzong were soaked. These people all wore a fully enclosed helmet on their heads. Many wires and pipes extended from the bottom and top of the jars to connect the helmets and bodies of the people in the jars.

Wen Rui stood in front of the colored glaze jars with a tablet computer, checking the information scrolling on the tablet screen.

"The six senses have been closed, the artificial internal circulation has been established, the artificial digestive system and respiratory system are functioning normally, the consciousness of the experimental subject has been transferred to the "Matrix" metaverse, the brain wave threshold has remained stable, and no rejection reaction has occurred."

Seeing this information, Wen Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "The progress is very smooth, at least it proves that the prison function of the "Matrix" system has been realized."

The "Matrix" project is a prison for cultivators designed, developed and built by Wen Rui inspired by "The Matrix".

The fully enclosed helmet has the function of shielding the five senses and spiritual consciousness. Together with the tactile shielding solution in the glass jar, it completely cuts off all interactions between the prisoner and the outside world, putting him in a purely idealistic state of "I think, therefore I am".

At the same time, the nanorobot establishes a brain-computer interface inside the brain, connects to the data cable in the helmet, transfers the prisoner's consciousness to the digital metaverse virtual world, and then uses Rick's memory adjustment technology to make them mistakenly believe that virtuality is reality and reborn in the virtual world.

In this way, the body is imprisoned, but the mind is free, but they can only live in the beautiful dream woven by Wen Rui for them. The dream refers to the design concept of the infinite moon reading world, which can definitely make people indulge in it, never want to leave, and sink forever.

In reality, they are just ordinary sect disciples in the Jindan and Yuanying stages. In the dream, they are the Immortal King, the Immortal Emperor, the Nine Heavens Saint, and the Cyber ​​God King. Moreover, they are not directly at the highest level. There is a whole set of scripts such as "Don't bully the poor young man", "Fat fish turn over", "Playing pig to eat tiger", "Pretending to be a slap in the face", "Old grandfather kneeling to lick", etc., with full expectations, experience, accomplishment, gain, and pleasure.

If you want to fully experience all the script routines in the dream, you have to indulge in it for at least three to five thousand years. Even if you wake up and return to reality unexpectedly halfway, I am afraid you will not run away and beg the guards to let them dream again.

There is a saying that "Once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with the water. Except for Wushan, you will never be satisfied with the clouds". After experiencing the virtual world with extremely rich imagination and high degree of simulation, who would want to be woken up by urine and drag the tired body to move bricks bitterly?

"Start the second phase of the experiment process, extract the aura of the prisoners and test the output power." Wen Rui ordered Jarvis.

A slight "buzzing" sound was heard in the hall, and the pipe inserted into the prisoner's Dantian area emitted a light blue light. Wen Rui's tablet once again scrolled dense monitoring data information.

"Monitor the brain wave threshold to confirm whether the extraction of spiritual energy will stimulate the prisoners who are dreaming and cause them to wake up unexpectedly."

"The frequency of brain wave threshold fluctuations has increased, but it is still in the normal range. The simultaneous appearance of battles and battles in dreams that consume a lot of spiritual energy can reduce the sense of disharmony between the body and the dream, and reduce the frequency of brain wave fluctuations."

Wen Rui nodded with satisfaction. Jarvis' report showed that the first half of the second phase of the experiment was also successful.

"Then, here comes the key. Calculate the difference between the cost of spiritual stones consumed by the spiritual medicine solution input into the experimental subject and the difference between the cost of extracting the spiritual energy of the experimental subject to artificially synthesize spiritual stones, and see what the input-output ratio is."

Wen Rui's tone was even a little nervous. This was the most important step in this experiment. If the experiment succeeds, it will have a far-reaching and significant impact.

This is like nuclear fusion power generation. Ignition of the reactor is certainly important, but if the input power is higher than the output power, then this fusion generator has no practical value and is still just a test machine.

Cultivators can speed up the recovery of spiritual energy in the dantian by eating spiritual medicine, and planting spiritual medicine requires spiritual stones to nourish the medicine field, which is the cost.

But as long as the cultivators are alive, in order to maintain the powerful body operation, they are also constantly consuming spiritual energy, which is the loss.

After deducting the cost and loss, if there is still an additional share of spiritual energy, then it is the income. Extract this income and invest it in the planting of spiritual herbs, and return to the first step to start a continuous cycle.

If the input-output ratio of this cycle is greater than 100%, then the industry of raising cultivators in the matrix factory can be profitable. In other words, spiritual energy can be artificially manufactured, and spiritual energy, a resource that is gradually entering a period of depletion, can be renewable.

"After comprehensive calculation, the current input-output ratio of the matrix system is 100.00023%."

"Great!"

Wen Rui was greatly encouraged, his joy was beyond words, and he couldn't help but waved his fist violently. It was a pity that no one shared this happiness with him. Only Jarvis at the side clapped his hands symbolically, making a harsh metallic collision sound.

If happiness cannot be shared, it will be greatly discounted. Wen Rui, who was alone, had long been accustomed to it. He once again turned his attention to the detailed analysis data on the tablet screen to confirm whether Jarvis had made any calculation errors.

Although the rate of return was very low, as long as a breakthrough was achieved, it contained important significance. No matter how Wen Rui celebrated, it would not be excessive. It was a pity that "I am alone" and there was no like-minded and understanding person around him. Wen Rui could only take it lightly.

The phenomenon of spiritual energy depletion has been proven in the spiritual world. It can be clearly seen that the spiritual energy in the current period is many times scarcer than in ancient times.

The spiritual energy of the real world before Wen Rui traveled was even thinner. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was not allowed to become a spirit. Unless the spiritual energy was revived, the world's attributes would never change.

The Great World of the Gods is not a certain continent or a certain world with unlimited resources randomly set without foundation. Although it has elements of myths and legends, it also has a certain historical background.

The long river of history continues to flow, and the world line is likely to converge in a few thousand years, with a high probability of evolving into a near-real world with complete exhaustion of spiritual energy.

The success of the new energy plan has achieved the sustainable development of spiritual energy thousands of years in advance. It can definitely change the world and change history, no less than the realization of controllable nuclear fusion in the real world.

"Start the third phase of the experiment and test the use of vapor deposition crystallization method to convert spiritual energy into high-purity spiritual stone."

After the power generation equipment is completed and put into operation, the next step must be to develop supporting high-efficiency energy storage equipment, otherwise the instability and escape characteristics of spiritual energy will cause great losses, and spiritual stones are the best form of spiritual energy storage.

The blue conduits extending from the four glass jars first lead to a purification equipment. After a series of processes such as high-frequency oscillating spiritual force field, purification array, and Sanskrit baptism, the spiritual imprint of the original owner is removed.

The purified spiritual energy is led to a huge large-scale equipment through a conduit. This equipment is the spiritual energy vapor deposition crystallizer. It artificially creates an ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure environment, and continuously compresses the volume of spiritual energy filled into it, just like artificially creating diamonds. , compress and crystallize the spiritual energy deposits into spiritual stones.

After a long time, an industrial robot came to Wen Rui holding a tray. On the tray was a spiritual stone particle with a diameter of only 1 mm.

Although it is small in size, this spirit stone is crystal clear and as bright as a diamond. Just from its appearance, it can be judged that this is a high-level spirit stone with high purity.

Comparing this synthetic high-level spiritual stone with the high-level spiritual stone mined in nature is like comparing a synthetic diamond with a natural diamond. There is no difference. It is even higher in purity and quality than a natural high-level spiritual stone.

Wen Rui raised his head and looked at the Dingguang Xianzong disciples in the four jars, with a glimmer of greed in his eyes, as if he were looking at four fat Holstein cows.

The feasibility of the new energy plan has been proven. Unfortunately, the energy conversion rate is too low. These four people can convert 0.001 spirit stones in one day. Even if the purity is extremely high, the output is too low to be of practical value. .

Subsequent continuous improvements and expansions will take a lot of time, and we are not even sure whether we can achieve the goal of industrial mass production of spiritual stones within the mission deadline.

It is not too early to be happy with such a result.

"The heaven and the earth are a furnace, and all living beings are suffering. You are all stupid, ignorant and stubborn, riddled with sins. If I had not shown great compassion to cut off your karma, you would have fallen into the Abi Hell in the future, suffering forever and never being reborn. I will give you seven days as a sacrifice hell. Realize the suffering of sinful spirits, feel deeply about it, and make great aspirations to create a 'matrix' illusory hell to save evil spirits."

Wen Rui preached to the four people in a loud voice like an eminent monk: "All false and evil thoughts in the illusory prison can be vented. However, if you go too far and do not satisfy your desires, you will lose. If you vent them completely, you will become emptiness. Then you will realize that 'form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.' The wonderful truth is that when there is a mind, there should be no dwelling place.

"If the sinful spirit takes the initiative to give up all the false and perfect temptations of the Illusion Hell of Ultimate Bliss, repent of its past mistakes and return to the original reality, then the mind will be fully cultivated, the sinful karma can be eliminated, and there will no longer be the retribution of falling into the Avici Hell."

"Your souls are serving their sentences in the illusory prison, and their bodies are giving back in reality. All the spiritual stones produced are used to support all living beings, atone for sins, make up for the spiritual shortcomings of heaven, and use the benefits of humanity to make up for the losses of heaven! From now on, there will be no more "natural" The fallacy that everything is there to nourish people, and that people have nothing to repay heaven with!”

"Amitabha, good, good!"

After saying this oath, Wen Rui suddenly had a clear enlightenment. He only felt an obscure message in the void and was empowered. The Buddha's power gradually grew in the spiritual sea, and a sense of peace, joy, tranquility and tranquility arose in his heart. This was precisely because the way of heaven descended. The interaction between heaven and man resulting from the blessing of merit.

Sure enough, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try, and here comes the unexpected surprise.

No matter what business you are doing, you must do a good job in publicity and must emphasize social benefits. As a business, you must also fully demonstrate your sense of social responsibility and social responsibility.

Even if it is a cultivator prison, it must be controlled carefully and must not blindly pursue maximizing profits.

Wen Rui, who traveled back in time from modern times, understands this truth very well. Humanity does not abuse animals. Therefore, when writing the feasibility study report on the new energy project, he specifically studied the Buddhist rules of dedicating aspirations and the heavenly merit system.

The prisoners are limited to the heinous people who will definitely go to hell, and a sliver of life is left, and a certain percentage of the proceeds are returned to heaven. In the form of making great Buddhist aspirations, they imitate Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who "swears not to become a Buddha until hell is empty". In the name of transcending sinful spirits, you can endow your actions with justice and stand firm on the moral high ground.

All aspects have been considered. Even if this transaction is accidentally exposed in the future, I can confidently say that I am following nature and doing a serious business and a public welfare undertaking.

Using the Buddhist method to make great aspirations and obtain dedication is to obtain the endorsement of Heaven. With this Heavenly merit as evidence, Hongjun Taoist ancestors cannot say that Wen Rui did something wrong.

Otherwise, catching monks and raising them like pigs, and extracting their spiritual energy to earn spiritual stones, is simply the work of the devil, and is no different from sacrificing millions of lives to the evil gods to satisfy their evil desires. It is not unfair for them to become the target of public criticism and be exorcised to defend the way of the devil.

The unexpected surprise is that this operation, which was not a problem at all, actually received the reward of the heaven and the return of merit. As this breeding business continues to grow and develop, there will be more rewards in the future. It really robbed the business of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and sought the merit that he should have obtained.
