Chapter 200 Astronomy and Geography

Late at night, in a quiet and deserted park,
Wang Xiaoming finished stargazing and said to Zhou Tong who was standing by: "Let's go! Let's go to the observatory!"

Zhou Tong immediately took out the taxi from the storage bag and opened the back door for Wang Xiaoming.

Although he was somewhat curious about some of Wang Xiaoming's behaviors, Zhou Tong understood that if he wanted to become a qualified driver, he should not ask anything and just drive.

The less you know, the safer you are.

After a while, the two arrived at a nearby observatory. Because they had greeted them in advance, they were received by a special person.

Unlike the previous observatory, people here feel more dull, and the person in charge of reception just leads the way silently in front.

It took Wang Xiaoming nearly two hours to use all the astronomical telescopes available here. The result was just as he expected. The potion was digested twice as fast as usual.

"The speed at which a potion is digested does not depend on the equipment, but on the location."

Although it feels a little difficult to understand, based on my experience over the past two days, this is the correct answer.

"If you only observe the sky from one location, the feedback you can get from the potions will get less and less, and there may even be a day when you won't get any feedback from the potions at all."

“Is this an encouragement for every astronomer to get out and about?”

After Wang Xiaoming complained a few words in his heart, he began to think about the problem of digesting the potion.

"If it's a problem of location, then what is the range of a location? How far do we need to go to keep the speed of potion digestion at the highest level?"

These problems cannot be solved by imagination, and require constant experimentation. Looking at Zhou Tong who was in a daze, Wang Xiaoming smiled and said:

"Get ready, it's going to be a sleepless night!"

"Yes, no problem, Professor!" Zhou Tong said indifferently, "My body can stand not sleeping for a week."

After becoming ghost riders, their bodies are no longer the same as those of normal people. Their hearts will beat slower, their blood will stop flowing, and sometimes corpse spots will appear on their bodies, so most ghost riders will have some corpse odor.

Even after being treated with the supernatural formation, his body condition could only be restored to the state when he first controlled the evil spirit, and the evil spirit's erosion of his body was uninterrupted.

Behaviors such as sleeping and eating that sustain human survival are not necessary for ghost riders.

After leaving the observatory, Wang Xiaoming did not conduct the test immediately. Instead, he first marked the headquarters and several observatories in Bulaotun on the map, and then took the shortest distance between them.

"Thirty-five point seven kilometers!"

After a simple conversion, Wang Xiaoming got the answer for the shortest distance, which was exactly the straight-line distance from the headquarters to Bulaotun.

The minimum influence range of the starry sky observation position is within this distance, and then he just needs to test it step by step.

"Go here!"

Wang Xiaoming pointed to a location on the map that was exactly in the opposite direction of the headquarters.

hum!
A yellow light flashed, and accompanied by the sound of an engine, the ghost taxi disappeared on the spot.

A few minutes later, the taxi appeared at the destination, then disappeared again and reappeared at another location.

If you raise your view and take a bird's-eye view, it's easy to see that all the places where taxis appear can be connected in a straight line.

This straight line is the same as the straight line connecting the headquarters and Bulaotun, in the other direction of Bulaotun.

The supernatural taxi was very fast, but Wang Xiaoming had to get off the car every time to observe the starry sky and test the digestion of the magic potion, which slowed down the test speed.

But even so, half an hour later, Wang Xiaoming still measured the minimum radiation range of an observation point, which was greater than 29 kilometers and less than 30 kilometers.

In other words, as long as the straight-line distance from the last observation point reaches thirty kilometers, the speed of digesting the magic potion by observing the starry sky will not decrease.

Next, in order to verify the accuracy of this distance, Wang Xiaoming conducted multiple rounds of re-measurements and finally determined that the distance was 29.7 kilometers.

After the entire test was over, it was already four o'clock in the morning and there were more pedestrians on the road.

"Go back! There probably won't be anything else to do today."

Having successfully verified what he had thought, Wang Xiaoming was in a good mood, because now he could digest the potion at the fastest speed.

"Who would have thought that in order to digest the magic potion of a Sequence 5 astronomer, one would need to observe the starry sky in different places. An astronomer would actually have the attribute of wandering."

“Perhaps astronomers also need to know some geography knowledge. After all, knowing both astronomy and geography is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom.”

After returning to the headquarters and sending Zhou Tong away, Wang Xiaoming began to think about the meaning behind the digestion of the potion.

After a long time, he finally got an answer that might be the correct answer, which was that the correct way to digest the potion should be to travel around the world and appreciate the scenery.

"Astronomers study the universe and the stars. They need to look up, but the planet under our feet is also part of the universe. We are all in the universe."

“Looking up at the vastness of the starry sky and looking down at the heaviness of the planets, both are astronomy.”

"So I should add some knowledge about planetary geography when I study astronomy. I guess this will double the speed of potion digestion."

After figuring it out, Wang Xiaoming began to learn astronomy during the early morning hours. This time he added some geographical knowledge. After being enhanced by the magic potion, Wang Xiaoming's learning ability had far exceeded the limits of human beings.

He just glanced at a document of several thousand words, memorized it all, and then understood it.

Wang Xiaoming completely mastered and memorized knowledge that an ordinary person could not learn in a month in just one hour.

After learning, Wang Xiaoming felt the potion being digested in his body and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Just as he thought, the digestion of the potion doubled compared to before.

"This way, the time it takes for me to completely digest the potion will be advanced, at least twenty days."

"But from now on, I may not be able to stay in the headquarters for long."

Due to the limitation of potion digestion, if Wang Xiaoming does not leave the headquarters, the potion feedback from his observation of the starry sky will become lower and lower, which will seriously slow down the speed of his subsequent sequence promotion.

"But that's fine. Anyway, I was planning to take some time off, so I'll just go out and relax this time. Some of the instruments needed for research can be stored in the Knowledge Wilderness. When the need arises, I can find a place to conduct experimental research."

Thinking about the digestion of the potion in his mind, Wang Xiaoming came to the new laboratory.

It is around eight o'clock in the morning. Chen Wei is already in the laboratory. Since there is not much work, she is cleaning at this moment.

Reaching out his hand to call Chen Wei over, Wang Xiaoming asked about Zhao Kaiming's current condition. When he learned that there was no major problem, he began to analyze the wish ghost and the ghost cabinet with confidence. At present, Wang Xiaoming has memorized all the magical runes of the two evil ghosts. The difficulty is that he has not yet fully understood the meaning of the runes.

This caused considerable difficulty in his analysis of the abilities of the two evil spirits.

At ten o'clock, there was a violent vibration and Wang Xiaoming's phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhao Guangxian calling from the experimental base.

"Professor! We succeeded! We successfully replicated the composition of the Chinese medicine powder."

As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Guangxian's excited and loud voice came from the other end.

Wang Xiaoming held the phone farther away until Zhao Guangxian's voice became normal, then he moved closer and said:

"Yes, I was right about you. You must seal off the lab immediately. Anyone who knows about this is not allowed to contact the outside world. I will send someone to the lab to take you to headquarters right away."

"Okay, professor, we are all in the lab now," Zhao Guangxian explained, "The experimental results just came out, and I called you directly."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoming immediately found Chen Wei and asked her to lead a team of soldiers to the experimental base to bring Zhao Guangxian and others and the experimental data to the headquarters.

After receiving the task, Chen Wei set off immediately. She first contacted the security department of the headquarters to dispatch a team of soldiers, then asked for a few cars from the logistics department, and set off for the experimental base.

The experimental base was not far from the headquarters. After about an hour, Chen Wei brought Zhao Guangxian and the other two to the headquarters.

In the new laboratory,
Wang Xiaoming stopped the experiment in his hands, looked at Zhao Guangxian and the other two who were full of joy, and encouraged them: "You have done a good job. You have worked hard during this period."

Although it was just a short sentence, it made Zhao Guangxian and the other two's eyes red. Wasn't it just for this moment that they had been working overtime day and night on experiments?

After briefly comforting Zhao Guangxian and the other two, Wang Xiaoming began to test the samples they brought. After comparing them with the raw materials of Chinese medicine powder, he determined that the ingredients and structures were the same.

During the testing process, Zhao Guangxian and the other two kept nervously watching Wang Xiaoming's movements, fearing that the final result would be different from theirs.

When the test results came out, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked relaxed.

"It seems that the Chinese medicine powder has really worked this time." Wang Xiaoming looked at the grayish-white powder in his hand, a look of satisfaction appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Although the problem of the resurrection of evil spirits by the ghost handlers at the headquarters has been solved with the aid of a healing formation, this does not mean that the Chinese medicine powder is no longer useful.

Chinese medicine powder has a very powerful emergency effect. When the evil ghost revives and cannot be suppressed, or is in trouble and cannot escape, and the ghost driver cannot get to the headquarters, this is when the effect of Chinese medicine powder is reflected.

After the test, there is one last step, which is to put it into the supernatural transformation formation to see if it can be transformed into Chinese medicine powder.

Wang Xiaoming came to the corner of the laboratory, where a supernatural transformation formation had already been set up.

Different from the formation he had arranged in the underground laboratory, the spiritual transformation formation he arranged this time was not only reduced in size by half, but most of the runes on the formation were different.

The bronze tripod placed in the center of the formation was replaced with a transparent beaker, and the eight candles surrounding the formation disappeared.

The formation in front of him had been modified, and Wang Xiaoming had his own understanding based on the supernatural formation.

After being promoted to Sequence Five, with the blessing of the complete version of the Eye of Secrets, he could obtain a large amount of supernatural information from evil spirits, giving him the ability to transform supernatural formations.

In fact, Wang Xiaoming is no longer satisfied with the ready-to-use model. He transforms the formation into what he wants, which is both an experiment of newly acquired knowledge and an exploration of unknown directions.

Now this supernatural formation can not only transform supernatural powers into each other, but also realize the mutual transformation of spiritual energy and supernatural powers.

In other words, he could transform the Chinese medicinal powder when presiding over the formation without any supernatural powers.

Wang Xiaoming walked into the formation, put the gray-white powder copied by Zhao Guangxian and others into the transparent beaker in the center of the formation, and activated the formation.

He did not place any evil spirits in the formation. Instead, he began to outline the spiritual runes contained in the Chinese medicine powder. He then transformed them into spiritual power through the formation and melted them into the gray-white powder in the beaker.

After the transformation was completed, Wang Xiaoming picked up the beaker and directly identified the gray-white powder inside. This time the prompt was no longer ordinary medicinal powder, but traditional Chinese medicine powder that could suppress the revival of evil spirits.

Done! ! !

Next, he just needs to make some modifications to the medical team's formation, so that they can produce Chinese medicine powder continuously.

The medical team produces Chinese medicine powder, which is considered a professional match.

Recalling the results of the appraisal just now, Wang Xiaoming showed satisfaction on his face:
“The effect is the same as the original, and the most important thing is that the storage time has been greatly improved to one year.”

The supernatural items produced from the transformation array all have a flaw, which is that they have a limited shelf life, which results in many of the supernatural items being unable to be preserved for a long time.

The shelf life of Chinese medicine powder has now reached one year, which is a huge improvement.

"However, I am not in charge of the medical team's formations. Will their validity period be shortened?"

Wang Xiaoming suddenly thought of a problem. If the shelf life of the Chinese medicine powder converted by the medical team is too short, it will greatly affect the use of the Chinese medicine powder.

"I must fundamentally solve the problem of the expiration date of these transformed supernatural items."

Thinking of some previous speculations, Wang Xiaoming gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

"There are three types of runes in the body of the evil spirit: tiny runes, evil runes, and giant runes. Each of these three runes is the basis for the latter rune."

"The reason why those supernatural items that came out of the transformation array have a time limit on their use is most likely because the tiny runes that make up the supernatural runes have not been outlined."

“The spiritual runes are made up of tiny runes. Such spiritual runes should be the most stable and will not collapse easily.

In the formation, I only outlined the spiritual runes, and the same is true for the spiritual runes transformed by the formation. Without the foundation of tiny runes, these integrated spiritual runes are likely to slowly collapse, and then cause the spiritual items to become ineffective. "

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming instructed Chen Wei to get a batch of supernatural items that were about to become ineffective from the logistics department.

"Professor, is there a problem?"

Seeing Wang Xiaoming calling Chen Wei away, Zhao Guangxian felt uneasy and asked hurriedly.

"It's okay!" Wang Xiaoming said, "The copying was very successful. You have made a great contribution this time. Just pack up and I will take you to see Minister Cao."

Meet the Minister!!!
Zhao Guangxian and the other two suddenly felt nervous. They had been at the headquarters for such a long time, but had never seen an official as high as the minister.

After the tension, there was endless joy. Wang Xiaoming took them to meet the minister, which further proved that their achievements were very important.
