Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

Chapter 172: The Three-Year Deadline!



Outside the cultivation chamber, Lin Ziming was reporting his insights to Qin Zhendong and Lin Li:

"Boss Qin, I have operated the cultivation technique for two cycles inside the chamber. The technique runs normally and can be practiced without any issues."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhendong vigorously patted Lin Ziming's shoulder, nodding repeatedly.

After all, if cultivation was impossible locally, many operations would become very troublesome.

He then continued to ask:

"What about the consumption of spiritual power? Is there a difference compared to the Damo Realm?"

Lin Ziming shook his head decisively:

"No, the consumption of spiritual energy during cultivation is exactly the same as in the Damo Realm. After two cycles, the progress in my realm has no difference compared to the Damo Realm."

"That's fantastic!"

Qin Zhendong clenched his fist excitedly, his eyes showing a gleam of excitement.

This was extremely, extremely important news.

Firstly, it means that cultivators don't have to pay extra costs for practicing locally, preventing cultivation expenses from being too exorbitant.

Secondly, it somewhat confirms Professor Lu's hypothesis — as long as the space isn't belonging to the Damo Realm, the two worlds can be interconnected.

Then Qin Zhendong turned around to ask Lin Li:

"Academician Lin, is it difficult to prepare the air with a 38.8% spiritual energy concentration?"

Lin Li shook his head, answering:

"Not very difficult, but the cost will be slightly higher,

because the specific process requires spirit stones to assist in the balance shift of Le Chatelier's principle. However, the associated expenses won't be unbearably high."

Qin Zhendong nodded slightly, deep in thought.

It was mentioned previously.

Due to the neutrino beam's inability to penetrate the light gate, it's impossible to lay pipelines between the Damo Realm and home.

The situation of material transit through the gate can be referenced by vesicle theory.

That is unless everything from Earth's side fully enters, nothing from the Damo Realm side will ever exit.

Unless what you insert is another space—which falls into the realm of hyperdimension, something beyond the current technological capability of the rabbits.

Therefore, transporting spiritual energy from the Damo Realm to home can only be carried out through the process of collection and transfer, unable to set up pipelines.

At least, this is how it is currently.

As the top personnel responsible for numerous aspects of the recent transfer tasks, Qin Zhendong's thoughts immediately turned to the issue of throughput:

"The width and height of the light gate are about eight meters, so the maximum width and height of our external containers for gas loading are slightly over seven meters.

This means that the area of one side is fixed at forty-nine square meters… let's just round it to fifty.

If the length of the container is ten meters, then the entire container's volume is five hundred cubic meters.

This means one container can support the cultivation of a hundred people for one day..."

At this point, Qin Zhendong suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Chang Qixiang, who had just arrived at the scene:

"Comrade Qi Xiang, have similar-sized containers passed through the light gate before? If so, how long did it take?"

Chang Qixiang quickly took out an unmarked tablet and fiddled with it for a while, his eyes soon lighting up:

"Got it!

Boss Qin, thirty-two days ago we transported several 200-ton-class large hydraulic machines from Sany Heavy Industry.

At that time, one hydraulic machine was dismantled into several containers, with the containers' specifications being 7.4X6.9X12.

At that time, these containers were transported to the light gate from home and then fully transferred to the Damo Realm. Excluding the setup time over there, it took a total of forty-one seconds.

The weight of objects doesn't need to be considered when inside the light gate, so the time can be retrospectively benchmarked."

"There's no need to consider setup time for now; we can first place the containers aside and process them uniformly later."

Qin Zhendong grandly waved his hand, then pinched his chin and pondered:

"Forty-one seconds per transport, and an hour is three thousand six hundred seconds... so that's about ninety transports per hour?

Meanwhile, we can't just stuff spiritual energy into home without limit, so the daily passage time for transporting spiritual energy back is at most... eight to ten hours?

As for transporting spiritual energy on Earth, it's simple. If necessary, we can use L17 modules to create an underground pipeline, transporting it like natural gas."

Exactly as Qin Zhendong mentioned.

Spiritual energy is indeed important, but currently, rabbits can't achieve fully loaded, full-time unidirectional transit.

After all, daily essential supplies from home to the Damo Realm also need to be ensured.

For instance, much of the special cement and various machinery needed for the current experimental base cannot be autonomously produced in the Damo Realm at present.

Moreover, some of the heavy weaponry sent to the Damo Realm this time also needs to be returned... at least 40% needs to be brought back.

It's essential to remember that the weapons sent over to win battles by the rabbits are relatively cutting-edge.

Currently, the rabbits only have eight thousand tanks in total, and the regions are relatively densely disclosed.

Now, the rabbits have deployed nearly two hundred main battle tanks twice (the first time was with Yan Shaohua), and if they are missing for a while it's bearable, but if they disappear for too long, the rabbits' old friends might get anxious and start barking.

It might end up with another round of "why have you secretly modified the Type 59 again" bickering.

There's no fear, but there's no need either.

Hence, according to Qin Zhendong's estimation, the amount of spiritual energy brought back each day by the rabbits is enough for ninety thousand warriors to cultivate.

Of course.

Considering different qualifications and absorption rates, this number may eventually reduce to between fifty and seventy thousand.

Because the first batch of selected warriors is definitely prioritized based on spiritual root aptitude.

But even if it's at least fifty thousand, that's a quite terrifying number already.

In a place like Chixian City, there are only over a hundred cultivators—among them there are quite a few qi cultivation-level individuals.

And the time needed for the warriors selected by the rabbits to cultivate to the corresponding realm is another matter; the very basic initial goal is at least the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!

Then Qin Zhendong's expression turned serious, bringing his thoughts back to reality, and he asked Lin Li:

"Comrade Lin Li, did you bring back the detailed summary of L17 and cultivation rate in Damo Realm that the core layer required the Fire Squad to compile?"

Lin Li nodded and took another document from the file bag he always carried:

"Boss Qin, this is the summary.

According to our statistics.

Apart from the genius dual Spiritual Roots and the five Spiritual Roots which consume enormous resources with little effect as 'waste spiritual roots,' 90% of cultivators in Damo Realm are in the three to four Spiritual Roots qualification interval.

Among them, the four Spiritual Roots cultivators can absorb about 0.8% of spiritual particles, while the three Spiritual Roots can absorb 1.5%-2%.

These two values have great universality, basically representing the average amount of spiritual particles this type of cultivator can absorb in their lifetime.

And a typical three Spiritual Roots cultivator in Damo Realm requires roughly twenty-five years to cultivate to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

Dual Spiritual Roots take much less time and only about a dozen years.

As for progressing further beyond the Qi Cultivation realm, rather than taking a long cultivation time, it's more about the lengthy preparation period for resources to break through each realm.

Therefore, using group data to simulate the breakthrough time for Foundation Establishment Realm is quite difficult—a person might only need thirty-five years to progress from Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, but taking sixty years to gather resources; this situation makes obtaining real data hard for us.

After all, it is really difficult for loose cultivators in Damo Realm to gather resources.

But according to our understanding, even for dual Spiritual Roots from well-off families, it typically takes twenty years to break through from Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer to Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.

And in our LV17 cultivation environment.

Three and four Spiritual Roots cultivators may not fully absorb 17% of the spiritual particles—the reasons have been explained using the lane theory.

Therefore, achieving an idealized cultivation speed of twenty times is basically impossible, but I can guarantee ten to fifteen times speed with no problem."

After digesting this information, Qin Zhendong couldn't help but touch his chin:

"So... Comrade Cao Yi probably still needs one and a half years to break through to Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Not that long."

Lin Li shook his head and explained to Qin Zhendong:

"Comrade Cao Yi has already refined the two strange objects Xiao Wang and someone else found.

Plus, with our other resources tilted in his favor, his qualification is said to be dual Spiritual Roots, but it is essentially no different from single Spiritual Root.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can ideally reach Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer within five months."

Qin Zhendong nodded slightly:

"I understand."

Then he quickly parted ways with Lin Li and others, carrying Lin Li's summary back alone to the office to participate in a high-level online meeting.

....

Three hours later.

A slightly fatigued Qin Zhendong found Lin Li and solemnly handed him a document, placing it on the table without opening it:

"Old Lin, the core layer has formulated a long-term plan; I'll orally brief you first, and open the document when you return to camp."

Lin Li immediately placed his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and assumed an attentive listening posture.

"Didn't we establish a connection with Ziqiong City and start the business of those joyful sticks?"

Qin Zhendong initiated the topic, seeing Lin Li nod, he continued:

"The core layer decided to first select fifty thousand warriors to start cultivation, and after a period, pick a batch of elites to send directly to the Damo Realm.

At the same time, use Spirit Stones exchanged for joyful sticks to purchase a batch of high-quality resources, specifically providing them with cultivation resources.

The aim is to cultivate fifty Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in one and a half years, break one hundred in two years, and breach three hundred in three years.

And to have three to five Core Formation Realm or Quasi-Core Formation Realm cultivators appear—Wei Siming initially spent sixty-seven years cultivating to Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage, with ten years spent drifting with fellow transmigrators.

Therefore, with the LV17 cultivation environment plus national effort inclined, reaching this goal should not be difficult."

After saying this, Qin Zhendong sighed:

"Ultimately, our resources are still insufficient.

Don't be fooled by our nation's wealth and power; Damo Realm fundamentally differs in ideology from us, and we are currently unable to blatantly make an appearance.

Thus, the primary economic source in Damo Realm is still Spirit Stone mines and joyful stick trade, with other transactions being minor and fragmented.

Moreover, a single Muya Crystal costs eighty thousand Spirit Stones and is quite unobtainable; truly purchasing might require a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, there's a large quantity of high-quality pills, etc., which, with our development speed, the goal of three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm in three years is essentially the limit."

Qin Zhendong then exhaled, adjusted his mood, and stared fixedly into Lin Li's eyes, saying:

"The core layer attaches great importance to this plan, with Fire Camp having significant pressure on their shoulders as well, so you'll have to work hard this time as the squad leader.

Your rank is high enough, let me share something with you.

The core layer estimates, we can keep things confidential for about three to five years; after that, it might be harder to suppress.

Thus, before that, we must develop an official force potent enough to deter the outside world.

Don't think three years is long; how long has passed since we discovered the light gate?

A full two months and six days!

Three years is indeed brief.

Old Lin, time waits for no one.

I've submitted an application to the core layer.

From now on, I'll stay here and not leave, while you run things on the light gate side, I'll support you from here!

Whether it's Fire Camp or the headquarters, we must push forward with unwavering determination without retreating!

In these three years, not a second can be wasted.

Because this is...

the national destiny struggle!"
