Chapter 250: Martial Arts and Production
It’s truly a waste for True Realm martial artists to use their powerful strength solely for killing or merely to seize power.
In Shi Feizhe’s past life in ancient times, there was no True Realm power, yet mechanisms and values were still used to control power.
And they lived even better lives than True Realm martial artists.
Therefore, Shi Feizhe has always believed in having True Realm martial artists engage in production and create value.
He had this thought back when he witnessed the duel between Yuan Jiuzhong and Hua Chonglang.
With the strength of those two, they would be exceptionally skilled at tasks like dredging rivers, excavating canals, or even splitting mountains and opening tunnels.
Even in the 21st century, where Shi Feizhe came from, with all sorts of large machinery in operation and a massive consumption of resources, their efficiency still wouldn’t surpass those two.
For example, Shi Feizhe plans to dig a canal connecting Jicheng with seven or eight major cities like Yucheng and Yancheng, eventually reaching Fucheng and flowing into the sea.
If ordinary people were recruited, digging shovel by shovel and carrying the soil basket by basket, it would take hundreds of thousands of people several years to complete.
However, with Shi Feizhe’s strength and the destructive power of martial arts, the path could be cleared in about two months. The remaining tasks would be excavating the soil and reinforcing the canal. Though still requiring a considerable workforce, it would significantly reduce the years of work needed previously!
In this world, martial arts also represent advanced productivity.
It’s just that most people don’t utilize it for production.
It’s like someone who owns a fertilizer factory but produces explosives every day to extort money from surrounding towns.
How much money can fertilizer sell for?
Extortion with explosives is much faster!
Similarly, many techniques of the Yu Province Demon Sect were initially intended for production but later used for killing.
My neighbor’s money is my money.
Killing is much quicker than working.
Concepts like win-win cooperation and long-term benefits simply don’t exist.
True Realm martial artists have an overwhelming advantage over other martial artists.
Once they become True Realm martial artists, all they care about is personal gratification, with no regard for anything else.
As for what happens after death, who cares!
When Shi Feizhe integrated martial arts with the scientific system of his past life in Jicheng, many fascinating reactions occurred.
With the enhancement of martial arts, some things could be achieved directly through brute force.
The most useful were techniques similar to the True Qi Giant Hand, such as the 《Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Intertwined Hand》 and the 《Dexterous Hand》. Having an extra controllable hand within a radius of several feet around the body is incredibly convenient for work, isn’t it?
What about the production efficiency of True Realm martial artists?
Of course, it’s incredibly fast.
For instance, the steel furnace in the steel mill requires the input of iron ore, sinter, coke, and limestone.
Hot air is injected through the tuyeres at the bottom of the furnace, raising the temperature inside to about 2200 degrees Celsius. The upper part of the furnace forms slag from impurities, while the lower part is a pool of molten iron.
Li Hongyan cultivates a wind-based technique called 《Heavenly Wind True Qi》. After learning basic production techniques, he became responsible for injecting air into the furnace to increase combustion, stirring the molten iron with his internal energy, and even adding oxygen during steelmaking.
He even handles the rolling process to turn the steel into rails.
He truly deserves the title of core technical personnel and model worker of the steel mill!
Last year, a student from Qing Shan Martial Academy entered the steel mill. After familiarizing himself with the steelmaking process, he has already begun researching the electric arc furnace steelmaking method this year.
The electric arc furnace steelmaking method involves filling a circular furnace with recycled scrap steel, then rotating the top into place and inserting three graphite electrodes into the furnace. A powerful electric current passes through the furnace, creating an electric arc that generates heat to melt the scrap steel.
Simply put, it’s about discharging electricity within a sealed environment to melt scrap steel.
Are there martial arts techniques that can achieve this?
There should be, right?
That student has already begun researching the discharge volume and stability required for martial arts. Perhaps one day, after determining the necessary parameters for the technique, an application for inventing a new technique will land on Shi Feizhe’s desk.
Various industries often require specific techniques due to production issues. They list the parameters of the desired technique and submit them to Shi Feizhe for deduction.
✿✿✿
It gives Shi Feizhe a feeling of being Doraemon.
Why do you all ask me for everything?
Fortunately, with Shi Feizhe’s martial arts experience and the Supreme Wisdom Sutra, deducing a technique is relatively quick, especially since many of the requirements are quite rigid.
These peculiar techniques, if they existed in his past life, would probably be equivalent to specific production skills.
Like superhuman strength, crushing, cutting, welding, and so on.
After unifying the Nine Provinces, perhaps he could hold a “National Workers’ Skills Competition and World’s Number One Martial Arts Tournament”?
That would be quite interesting, wouldn’t it?
Workers within the industrial system have a very smooth path for advancement.
Junior worker, skilled worker, senior technician, middle management, senior management, senior engineer, and so on. Each step is a significant improvement.
Years later, a large number of Qing Shan Martial Academy graduates will enter various industries, using scientific thinking and the power of martial arts to change the world.
That would be a truly beautiful sight!
While pondering these random thoughts, Shi Feizhe finished writing the letter and handed it to Zhang Qiming.
“Go! Go to Northern Yangzhou, observe, think, and contemplate! If there’s anything you can’t solve, write back immediately!” Shi Feizhe instructed him.
“Yes, Master! I’ll take my leave now!” Zhang Qiming took the letter and replied.
He wants to change Picheng, change Xuzhou, and work with the people of Yangzhou to change the entire world.
To completely shatter those who force-feed shit and the world that force-feeds shit!
Shi Feizhe waved his hand and said, “Get out of here! I’m annoyed just looking at you.”
He was one of the top students in the junior high of Qing Shan Martial Academy, excelling in studies, swordsmanship, and intelligence.
But damn it, he had a brain fart and insisted on venturing into the Jianghu.
His fellow graduates quickly filled the administrative and bureaucratic system, allowing the administrative system Shi Feizhe designed to function.
Though there were many problems along the way, an order different from the Jianghu began to emerge.
It also freed up Shi Feizhe’s time in the past two years, allowing him to focus on education and production.
Production drives social change, while education shapes new values.
Other aspects are progressing with stumbles and bumps, learning from experience.
Every industry is like this. In the beginning, they all make many inexplicable mistakes, but making mistakes isn’t a bad thing.
Everyone is busy working, but this guy still wanted to roam the Jianghu.
Only after being battered by the Jianghu did he realize how good Yangzhou is.
True, lessons are only understood after experiencing them firsthand.
If reason were easily understood, how could anyone make mistakes?
Speaking of which, since the Jianghu is so good at teaching people lessons, should he organize some Qing Shan Martial Academy students to experience the Jianghu and get a taste of its harsh reality?
That’s not a bad idea.
Shi Feizhe thought.
Will combining scientific theories with martial arts be successful?
