Chapter 834

Chapter 834: On Length

In the year 7880 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Blue Star…

The high-ranking officials of Blue Star only took three days to go to Jiang Star; there were just too many people and they couldn’t be away for too long.

Yet in those three days, they successfully opened up the situation between Ying Continent and the demon race. To make a joke, the Jiang Star project had been ongoing for hundreds of years, and resources from Jiang Star had already been sent back seven or eight times. Still, a small group of people on Blue Star actually did not believe that Jiang Star existed, even thinking it was a scam—a way for the high-ranking officials of Huaxia to embezzle funds—and they boldly wrote articles online to prove their point. Even some high-ranking members of Ying Continent and the demon race were starting to waver.

But Jiang Star and his group completely shattered these rumors, and even opened up Li Qing and the Demon Queen’s perspectives, making them realize that fighting among themselves within Blue Star was really pointless and too small-minded. Their journey was all about the stars and the sea.

Upon returning to Blue Star, Li Qing immediately asked Zheng Yi to adjust many of the policies in Ying Continent, starting to enhance the training of talents in the aerospace industry. Ying Continent must have its own Space Fleet and its own planets.

The Demon Queen also began to seek out some clever demon race individuals to learn a bit about advanced technology. The demon race had almost no foundation in technology, and the Demon Queen did not expect them to be able to build warships, but she still hoped to learn more. Additionally, she requested many Buddhist techniques and secrets from Lin Jiang to enhance the demon race’s skills.

For example, this Demon Queen found that her flying speed was even slower than that of a Space Battleship, which she felt very ashamed of. She believed that with her strength, if she had better skills, her speed could still improve.

In the Spiritual Energy Research Institute, Liang Long met with Buddha Master, who through Liang Long’s eyes, saw the existence of Jiang Star. At that moment, when he looked at Liang Long again, his gaze was somewhat different.

"Now that you are looking at me like this, should I thank you for revealing Blue Star’s biggest secret and weakness to me?"

Liang Long noticed Buddha Master’s surprised gaze and smiled as he spoke to him.

"I have known about Jiang Star for a long time, but you have bad intentions."

"Oh, how could my intentions be bad?"

"In fifty or sixty years, Blue Star has already recovered much, and there is no need for Jiang Star to save it. You guiding me to Jiang Star is just to protect Blue Star."

"I heard people outside say that the Buddha Master has great wisdom. Is your great wisdom really just this little?"

"What does that mean?"

"Do you not understand how important Jiang Star is to Blue Star? Blue Star is currently the strongest in technology, and technology relies heavily on resources. Some advanced industries need special minerals. The known reserves of those minerals on Blue Star are only a few hundred thousand tons; they can be easily exhausted. However, Jiang Star has reserves exceeding a hundred million tons. You are still too foolish."

"······"

The Buddha Master was speechless. He does have great wisdom, but it is based on the planet he rules. The planet he governs has no technological advancements, so how would he know about these things? They are completely different paths.

"Actually, I have always wanted to talk to you about technology and cultivation. I have discussed this topic at the Spiritual Energy Research Institute hundreds of times, but the cultivators there are too weak. You are strong, so tell me, which is stronger, cultivation or technology?"

"Technology is weak; you really have no idea what the scene is like at the advanced stages of cultivation."

"Is that so? But according to the blueprint of technology, in the later stages, there’s a weapon that can destroy a planet. Can you do that?"

"Okay"

"Can the Dual Vector Foil destroy an entire star system and turn it into two dimensions? Can you do that?"

"I can’t do that, but I can deal with the Dual Vector Foil. Whether it’s trapping it in a field or sending it to another space, I can handle it."

"What about resetting everything to zero and restarting the whole universe?"

"·····"

The Buddha Master was once again speechless. This was impossible.

"Haha, I was just joking. Resetting to zero is not possible; it’s just a fantasy. But I still think technology is more impressive. Technology can be passed down from one generation to the next, constantly researching and creating. But with cultivation, if you are great but you fail, your descendants have to start all over again without any room for failure. I’m not wrong, am I?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Nothing much, just chatting. I am very interested in the development of civilization, as I am a scientist. To be honest, I am very curious about Ling Star. I want to understand the social dynamics of Ling Star. How about we talk about it?"

"After you arrive, you will naturally understand."

"Hmph, it seems you are feeling guilty. I am never afraid, so I will show you the latest technology from Blue Star and the situation on Jiang Star. Strong people fear nothing."

Liang Long said, and the Buddha Master was speechless for the third time. He didn’t understand Blue Star’s technology either. He had tried his best to catch up, but unfortunately, the Buddha Seeds of Blue Star were not of high social status and had low scientific understanding, so he could not comprehend Liang Long’s research at all.

Of course, the Buddha Master admitted that Liang Long’s research was very advanced, especially some of the mathematical calculations, which felt like they pointed directly to the great path; even he found them inspiring.

······

"The war of ’25 has been over for more than sixty years. Thinking carefully, the second attack of the Buddhist cultivators is about to happen. Where will this war take place?"

"Jiang Star."

"Why are you so sure?"

"I have been planning for a long time. It will happen on Jiang Star, which already has four Space Fleets."

Lin Jiang said that the last time he went to Jiang Star, he secretly took a lot of things, hiding them in a storage tool, and this time the battlefield would also be on Jiang Star.

"What else did you do behind my back?"

"Nothing."

"You didn’t even tell me?"

"I didn’t mean to keep it from you, but this decision is very risky. If we estimate wrong, and the Buddhist cultivator doesn’t go to Jiang Star but comes to Blue Star instead, we will be defeated with no chance to recover. So, we must carry out some secret plans."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Although the Buddhist cultivator was heavily injured last time, they still had strength and were still stronger than Blue Star. Over the past sixty-five years, Blue Star has tried hard to recover, but it only regained the surface things. The lost experts cannot be replaced so quickly. In terms of Tao Achieving, besides Liang Long, who broke through during the battle, the others haven’t broken through yet.

So the battlefield can no longer be Blue Star. If the industries on Blue Star are destroyed again, some things cannot be restored. Therefore, it is very necessary to set the battlefield in Jiang Star. This is also a risky action; a small mistake could mean total loss, so it’s better for fewer people to know.

"Okay, I believe you. But how will we get to Jiang Star when we don’t have a permanent Stargate yet?"

"We will find a way when the time comes; don’t worry."

"It’s unfair to use Jiang Star as bait against Ye Chen and the others."

"We have agreed on this matter, so let’s not talk about it too much. In due time, the several Buddhist practices will be sorted out, and we can learn them together."

Lin Jiang said calmly that this matter was not suitable for discussion, and it would become clear in time. Lin Jiang was very interested in the Buddhist practices.

"The Buddhist temple also has the Happy Buddha. Do you want to practice?"

"Ahem, let’s not talk about nonsense. I am seriously discussing the Buddhist practices with you."

"I am also discussing it seriously. Don’t you men like this? You can practice and enjoy it. The Happy Secret method of the Buddhist temple is even more powerful than that of the Hehuan Sect."

"Well, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Come back here and go inside."

"I really have something to do; I’m leaving."

Lin Jiang was shocked and quickly used his skills to disappear in a flash. A battle was about to begin, and he needed to gather his strength. What was going on?
