Scholar

"Matter, energy, and information are the basic elements that constitute nature."

In the church of the Energy Academy, the outstanding students, who had passed numerous examinations and emerged from various counties and prefectures, stared intently at the figure lecturing in the classroom.

The figure lecturing was none other than Gu Jinlai, who had completed his bachelor's degree examination a month ago and obtained his bachelor's Gu Jinlai.

The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty implemented a nine-rank official system.

Town mayor is a ninth-rank official, county lord a seventh-rank official, city lord a fifth-rank official, and Dao lord a third-rank official. Above that, star lords are second-rank officials, star gods are first-rank officials, and state lords and star deities are all super-rank officials.

Although the academician did not hold any official position, he was extremely prestigious and enjoyed the treatment of a sixth-rank official. As for the Grand Academician, he was much more important than the academician, not only enjoying the treatment of a fourth-rank official, but also often being the leader of a certain research project.

Above them are the Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet, whose rank is comparable to that of the Star Lords, and who are directly responsible to the Elders and the Taiyin Star Lord.

A sixth-rank scholar is equivalent to a first or second-level professor at the most prestigious university on Blue Star.

This can be seen from the fact that out of four people who completed the ten questions for the bachelor's degree exam, only he received a bachelor's degree.

Now, whenever he starts a class, the audience is packed.

If it weren't for the limited number of people, this large classroom, which can hold two hundred people, would probably be packed with hundreds or even thousands of people.

"Energy refers to resources that can provide energy. Energy here usually refers to thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, etc., which can provide kinetic energy, mechanical energy and energy substances for mankind... However, those basic forms of energy utilization were eliminated hundreds of years ago. Since the development of nuclear energy thousands of years ago, this energy has penetrated into every large enterprise with pilots."

Voices from Gu Jinlai echoed in the classroom.

"Level 1, 2, and 3 pilots can only activate reactors with stable output. Level 4, 5, and 6 pilots significantly increase reactor power, and Level 7, 8, and 9 pilots push reactor power to its limit. It sounds like it's closely related to pilot level, but ultimately it comes down to reactor power and stability. Imagine if we could increase the output power of those standard reactors, wouldn't they be able to play a greater role while maintaining stable output? In terms of pilots, it would mean a junior pilot could achieve the work efficiency of a mid-level pilot..."

Gu Jinlai, this directly presents a set of data.

For example, how much stability can be improved, how much power can be increased, etc.

Although he didn't go into detail, he did present his own theme.

Optimization and improvement of nuclear reactor stability and output power.

When the course ended, many students looked thoughtful.

His assistant, Zhou Ya, brought the two of them to him.

Judging from the badges on their sleeves, both of them are senior scholars certified by Tianxiang Prefecture.

"Scholar Gu, congratulations, your research project has been approved."

Zhou Ya smiled and said, "While improving mental strength is very important, as the ancient scholar said, improving the stability and output power of the reactor is also very important. To some extent, if the reactor stability and output power are improved, the pilots can also devote more mental strength to operating the mecha, releasing mental magic, and resisting the mental magic attacks of others."

She handed over a document. "The research project you applied for optimizes the third-generation nuclear reactor, which is commonly used in the mechs of mid- to high-level pilots. If the research and development targets can be achieved, the overall strength of all mid- to high-level pilots could be improved by 15% to 20%. The higher-ups attach great importance to this, and the first batch of funding is 100 million yuan. They have also specially set up a laboratory for you and given you enough formal research positions."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Thank you."

Then, his gaze turned to the two senior scholars behind him.

"Greetings, Scholar Gu. I am Zhang Chaoyang and Shao Fuyou."

The two men stepped forward, introduced themselves, and then said, "Scholar Gu, we have some experience in the stability and power optimization of third-generation nuclear reactors. We have published papers in Tian Shu Weekly and Xing Hui Magazine. We also assisted with related work in Scholar Wang Hui's laboratory half a year ago. If Scholar Gu is willing, we hope to become a member of your laboratory."

Seeing Gu Jinlai said, "The laboratory is in dire need of rebuilding. I would be most pleased if you two were willing to join us. Let's exchange contact information first, and I will let you know if I need any help later."

Clearly, he needs to find out the specific skill levels of the two individuals.

The two understood the importance of caution Gu Jinlai, exchanged pleasantries, and then quickly left.

Gu Jinlai followed Zhou Ya and soon arrived at the laboratory prepared for him by the Energy Academy.

The laboratory wasn't top-of-the-line, but it was still quite good within the Energy Academy, which shows how much the academy's leadership valued it.

Of course, this is related to his amazing performance when he passed the bachelor's degree exam.

His theories about the use of nuclear energy convinced the entire academic council, which is why he received his bachelor's degree in less than a month.

In the words of Zhou Yueming, the deputy head of the academy and president of the academic society, this young man has the bearing of a great scholar.

The Energy Academy's laboratories are anything but cramped.

In addition to the daily staff who maintain the operation of the laboratory, there are also many supporting facilities inside.

Crucially, there is also a third-generation nuclear reactor device.

Although it is only a small device, the third-generation reactor is equivalent to the most advanced reactors today, representing the pinnacle of nuclear energy technology.

The value of this reactor alone cannot be measured in ordinary money.

Gu Jinlai, they directly applied to purchase some instruments, and the 100 million was quickly spent.

After Zhou Ya left, Gu Jinlai began to examine the laboratory.

"We've finally managed to establish a foothold here."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

As one of the top five academies in Tianxiang Prefecture, the Energy Academy is not considered to be of a low level.

Of course, compared to his status, a bachelor's degree is undoubtedly a step behind.

If a Golden Immortal-level expert is willing to join the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, they will basically start at the fourth rank, or even the third rank.

This level of prestige surpasses even a bachelor's degree, let alone a grand bachelor's degree.

However, he came to the Energy Academy not to gain any status or position, but to make contact with Tianxiang Xingjun, who was an elder.

Status and treatment are secondary.

"Using my own understanding of the core of the Great Sun, I will slightly optimize the third-generation nuclear reactor, and then use this achievement to apply for the Grand Scholar examination... In the Energy Academy, every Grand Scholar can choose to join the fourth-generation nuclear reactor research group led by Tianxiang Xingjun. Once I join the research group, I can make some noise and attract Tianxiang Xingjun. Then I can try to contact him and see if I can get a method to fight against the evil god from him."

Gu Jinlai, people have had clear plans in their minds.

While getting closer to the Celestial Star Lord, he also needs to find a way to obtain a suitable mental cultivation method to raise his mental cultivation level by one or two levels.

This is for safety reasons.

Before reaching the fifth level of Golden Immortal, he would not confront this member of the royal family even if he met Tianxiang Xingjun.

"However... there aren't many decent mental cultivation methods in the Energy Academy. The few that exist can only be cultivated up to the third level."

The third tier corresponds to the "human" realm of the previous Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

This level of method exists in many worlds, and for those at the Golden Immortal level, the channels for obtaining it are quite diverse, so the Energy Academy's restrictions are not particularly strict.

As for the third rank and above, the fourth to sixth rank methods, which represent the "Earth" realm, become exponentially more difficult to obtain.

"I wonder if the pilot academy has such a Spirit Refining method..."

Gu Jinlai pondering for a moment, he shook his head.

Although the Pilot Academy is divided into several departments, such as the Engineering Department, Mechanical Engineering Department, Aviation Department, Mecha Department, and Warship Department, even the Engineering Department, which has the lowest requirements, has a strict review system for graduates who want to pilot factory equipment.

And his origins...

It cannot withstand this kind of investigation.

It's not that there's any danger.

The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty showed a certain degree of tolerance towards those worlds that voluntarily surrendered. Some Great Dao Golden Immortals were even ranked as Star Gods, but this was because the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm needed them. As for the others...

For a long time to come, they will not be able to integrate into the upper echelons of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

Even those who follow the scholar path Gu Jinlai are essentially demonstrating their value, no different from those Golden Immortals of the Great Dao who happen to be needed by the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm and are conferred the title of Star God.

"Judging by the time, Zhou Yi and Chao Jiuyin have already obtained quite a few cultivation methods from Blue Star and handed them over to Zhao Xi, Tian Qingzi, and Dan Chenzi. I wonder if they have figured anything out yet."

Gu Jinlai, people have been focusing some of their attention on the Void Projection Technique.

The influence of the Devouring Dao is everywhere.

Furthermore, Zhou Huang's main purpose in creating the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm was to resist the evil god. Even though he was not an evil god, he ultimately followed a cultivation system that leaned towards the evil god. His Void Projection Technique, which projected his True Spirit, was greatly affected, so he could not obtain information from other worlds as easily as he could in Blue Star, the Longevity Realm, and the Xuanxian Realm.

His gaze swept over the "Three Realms" Dharma, but he ultimately composed himself.

"We can't wait for Zhao Xi and the others to get their Spirit Refining Technique. Let's think of a way here to obtain a Spirit Refining Technique that can help us reach the 'Earth' Realm, which is the fourth to sixth level. We need to get this kind of mental cultivation technique..."

There are solutions, though.

Since he joined the Energy Academy with a cultivation level of ninth-level mental power that was substantial but not too conspicuous, he could easily say that he wanted to use an advanced Spirit Refining method to break through the shackles of his mental realm and advance to the first level of Golden Immortal.

This method requires a lot of contribution points, but if he can accomplish something that attracts the descent of the Celestial Star Lord, there seems to be some hope.

However, this method requires a time difference.

Another method...

Make contact with the resistance forces and trade with them.

After the updates these past few days, I discovered a large number of typos, and these are displayed typos that are not actually present in the backend.
