Chapter 47: The Power of Technology
After a moment, Su Wen calmed his breath and slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time, the Star God also concluded his moment of enlightenment.
"God of Wealth, when you derive the foundational Body Refinement Technique, can you… choose the direction?"
The Star God stood up as he spoke. Last time, he had just shared his experience of flashes of inspiration with the God of Wealth, and now the foundational Body Refinement Technique derived by the God of Wealth had inspired him.
Most importantly, he could tell that the new version of the foundational Body Refinement Technique contained a rich system of star knowledge.
Moreover, the knowledge related to the foundational Body Refinement Technique resonated with him, and while observing it, he felt a sense of… learning!
To be honest, the creator of the new version of the foundational Body Refinement Technique had a deeper understanding of the star system than he did and was far ahead of his current level.
Of course, he also knew that this was derived by the God of Wealth through the power of money.
As for the nonexistent creator of this technique, he had no chance to meet him.
If only he could meet and discuss, that would be such a fortunate event!
That was why he asked if the God of Wealth could choose the direction while deriving techniques through money.
If he could choose, that would be wonderful.
"I cannot decide the direction."
Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "I can only say that the more you focus on the foundational Body Refinement Technique, the more the next derived technique will lean towards the realm of stars."
A look of understanding flashed in the Star God’s eyes. "Good, now I understand."
So that’s how it is!
The God of Wealth’s words had clarified many questions.
So, deriving meant using money to create future techniques!
The more he focused, the more the foundational Body Refinement Technique would align with the stars; didn’t that explain everything?
The God of Theater stood nearby, watching all the Strengthening Movements that Su Wen had practiced with the foundational Body Refinement Technique.
He had initially been uninterested, but suddenly, he found himself intrigued.
The development of the world is truly fascinating!
"By the way, someone previously suggested that when trading the foundational Body Refinement Technique with foreign nations, we could exchange it for their cutting-edge technology."
The Star God continued, "For instance, front-end chips, precision machine tools, or some non-circulating pharmaceutical patents."
"Even shares of some companies in our country held by Merina can be quickly reclaimed through these methods."
"Although Merina’s fate bearers are not as strong as ours, we must acknowledge that their advanced weapons and leading technologies are indeed stronger."
Fighting God scoffed, "After all, they gather talent from around the world; most of the world’s top talents serve one country, so it’s normal for their technology to be stronger than ours."
The Star God nodded slightly, "Initially, I did not support this idea, since exchanging for money can provide you with direct benefits."
"But if your foundational Body Refinement Technique updates and evolves particularly quickly, you could allow the other party to exchange some materials, knowledge, and technological information while trading another part for money."
"This way, you enhance national strength while maintaining a positive cycle. What do you think?"
Su Wen replied, "No problem! This approach can better leverage foreign power, promoting a dual circulation of domestic and international resources!"
Future Timeline
As long as the Eastern Sea Defense Battle isn’t lost, the great dark age won’t come.
So, technology remains crucial in the future, especially after the Arrow Realm shatters, making communication between countries less convenient.
Boosting technological power during peacetime is definitely beneficial for future wars.
"Good, that gives us more options," the Star God said with a smile. "After all, if it’s just about money, the other side will quickly find themselves stripped bare."
"With those technologies, the domestic economy will also rise to a new level."
"Of course, the country won’t forget your contributions."
"I’ve applied for future international foreign exchange transactions to sync to our organization’s account, which you can access directly."
"Although it hasn’t been approved yet, as long as your results prove valuable, this will be implemented."
"In the future, the country might even adjust national strategies because of you, to gather foreign exchange once again."
"The foundational Body Refinement Technique… everyone has a sharp eye and can see the value in this technique."
"I’m now looking forward to the arrival of those foreign friends."
Su Wen’s gaze flickered as he wondered if he could bring back future technology when he traveled to the future.
He had already brought back martial skills and abilities; how could he overlook technology?
But the development of each technology seemed to involve a lot of cutting-edge research and extensive experimental data for verification. Could he remember it all?
Hmm… can the future transmission talismans record technological information?
If so, could he use the transmission talismans to document future technologies and bring them back?
He wouldn’t even need to absorb them into his mind; as long as he brought them back, professionals could handle that.
For scientists, having a wealth of technological information flood into their brains instantly without needing to study it sounds incredible, right?
It’s worth a try!
If technology reaches an extremely high level, it could pose a significant threat to those beings from the mystical realm.
Otherwise, why would those beings from the mystical realm interfere with power sources and technology in the previous timeline?
They only interfere out of fear!
Otherwise, it would be better for them to let humanity scatter its energy.
After some brief conversation, everyone returned to their positions.
The Star God went to handle matters related to the foundational Body Refinement Technique and the arrangement of the Starry Array, among other significant affairs in the realm of fate bearers.
The God of Theater sat on a stool in the office area, flipping his right hand to reveal an ancient book.
Beside him, Fighting God was deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Wind God was working at lightning speed to finish his homework, as he had to complete his courses and assignments before heading to the Rule Arrow Realm in a couple of days.
Otherwise, he’d return from exploring the Arrow Realm with an overwhelming pile of tasks.
After Su Wen returned to the office and looked at the sunset outside, he suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia.
How unpredictable life is!
Two days ago, he was still an ordinary person.
Now, every move he makes could influence the future course of events.
"Wealth Source Value: 15 (+)."
"Life Form: Level Three."
The coverage of foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0 cost him forty-three point five Wealth Source Values, which amounts to four hundred thirty-five million.
Thinking carefully, he realized he had already spent a lot of money.
"In just two days, I’ve become a Level Three Life Form. Perhaps those anomalies never anticipated this?"
Su Wen couldn’t help but chuckle; not only did the anomalies not expect it, but he hadn’t expected it himself.
But the cost of rising from Level Two to Level Three, without including earlier expenses, had already exceeded four hundred million.
The expenses for advancing beyond Level Three would likely be even more staggering.
It’s predictable that after reaching Level Three, his pace of improvement would slow down.
"Last time I returned from chaos in time and space, it didn’t attract attention from the river of time."
After sitting back down, Su Wen lightly tapped his fingers on the desk, thinking, "Then… I should go to the future again and see how things are."
"This time after I act, I must explain to the version of myself in this timeline that I’ll return again in July of the 32nd year."
"I also hope that the Star God won’t have any issues."
