Chapter 60 The mysterious concept of emptiness

The "Human Instrumentality Project" folder has been created, but it is uncertain when content will be filled in it. It may remain empty for several years or even more than ten years, or even remain unchanged after more than a hundred years.

This is normal, it is not because Wen Rui is procrastinating or has poor execution. In reality, many large companies are also like this when doing projects.

At first glance, creating a hybrid race of humans and transsexuals doesn't seem difficult, just like the wishful thinking of some otakus: "Give me a girl and I can create a race."

Wen Rui has five hundred junior sisters. If he puts down his pants and works hard, with a cycle of ten months, the number of mixed-race people in the Wen family will exceed 100,000 within a hundred years.

Even if we don't have enough energy, we can still use cloning technology, in vitro fertilization technology and artificial in vitro embryo cultivation technology to produce population in a factory manner.

But things are not that simple, and Wen Rui would not be so reckless and rash.

After all, science emphasizes "bold hypothesis and careful verification" rather than "my own thoughts".

Once you start to act rashly, it is easy to cause pseudo-scientific tragedies such as "sleep deprivation experiments", "deep control of super soldiers", "frontal lobotomy to treat mental illness", "infant emotional deprivation", "hybrid ape warriors", and "breaking through the earth".

The experiment of integrating humans and demons is not like creating new breeds of cats and dogs, which is not just hybridization and screening based on appearance. After all, both are intelligent life forms, and there are minefields in ethics, morality, love, hate, and other aspects that need to be considered.

God is watching what we do. To play with the fate of intelligent beings is to create karma. You will not gain merit from heaven, but will instead incur divine punishment.

Therefore, the most difficult part of the Human Completion Plan is not to create a large number of half-demon organisms, but how to let the two races eliminate prejudice, coexist harmoniously, change customs, exchange cultures, understand each other, and work together as naturally as possible.

It is not just about gene fusion from a biological perspective, but it must be achieved more prudently, rigorously, meticulously and perfectly from a grand narrative perspective.

Then let’s start with the guiding ideology and find a common interest point for intelligent creatures…

Wen Rui fell into deep thought and didn't care about the chicken feet soaking in the jar. He returned to the president's office and worked with Jarvis to write a project feasibility report.

……

More than a month passed in a flash.

In front of the big jar, Wen Rui touched his chin and made eye contact with the angry girl who was soaking in the jar.

"What's the fuss about?"

Wen Rui scolded him in a bad tone: "You don't have the awareness of a cultivator at all. You can't stand it after just a few days of closed-door cultivation. Your tooth doesn't hurt anymore, right?"

Hearing the word "toothache", the girl in the jar shrank her neck unconsciously, but soon stood up again and puffed out her chest and said, "Brother, you are lying. You clearly said it would take a month, and now it's been two months!"

The bone conduction microphone makes the girl's voice in the can be played back 100% accurately, as if they were talking face to face.

"Is it my fault?"

Wen Rui did not feel guilty for breaking his promise. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You had reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection a month ago. Theoretically, you could advance to the Return to Void stage at any time. It's been a month, and you're still at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. You haven't made any progress at all. Who should reflect on this?"

“I…” The girl pursed her lips, her arrogance was suppressed at once: “It’s easy to say, but advancement is not something that can be achieved at any time once one’s realm is high enough… one needs to have an epiphany… to comprehend a ray of inspiration from the Return to Void realm before one can successfully break through…”

"Have you mastered all the knowledge related to the Nascent Soul stage under my guidance? The unlimited spiritual energy provided by this machine is also pure enough, right? Your foundation for the Nascent Soul stage is more solid than 99% of the cultivators in the world!"

Wen Rui said with a straight face, "You are halfway to the Great Perfection, and you told me that you are unable to break through because of your lack of comprehension and inability to comprehend the Return to Void. You are unwilling to patiently comprehend the Way of Heaven and seek the precious opportunity to break the mirror, and you are still fooling around here, wasting time..."

Luan Qingyu turned her head away, not daring to face Wen Rui's "disapproving look". Being stared at by that kind of gaze, it was as if she had violated a heavenly law. Even the Fire Phoenix Holy Body felt a chill all over her body.

"I...I just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage a month ago. All my understandings of the Nascent Soul stage were instilled by you."

The girl said aggrievedly, "I have no idea about the Return to Void Realm. I don't know anything about it. I don't even know where to start. I'm trapped in this jar with nothing to do. It makes me even more anxious. I can't concentrate on understanding it."

She threw herself against the wall of the glazed jar, her headlights were flattened, and she slapped the wall, looking at Wen Rui eagerly and said, "Brother, please let me go. I will go back to calm my mind, spend some time carefully observing all things in nature, observing the moon in the well and the flowers in the mirror, studying illusion and truth, yin and yang, following nature, and keeping my mind as calm as water, reflecting all things. I will definitely find the feeling soon..."

Wen Rui couldn't help but lose his concentration. "Brother, what are you staring at me for? Why aren't you talking?"

"What kind of cultivation genius is this? He is a descendant of the Phoenix clan, the king of birds, and his figure is really... "

Wen Rui came back to his senses and shook his head regretfully, "If you want to surpass He Lingyun, with your mentality, what's the point of raising your realm? We cultivators follow the will of heaven to be human beings and go against the will of heaven to become immortals. We should face difficulties head-on, survive in desperate situations, and turn the impossible into possible. The more you think about taking things as they come and giving up the difficult for the easy, the less likely you will get what you want!"

The girl's face suddenly changed. Unknowingly, her heart was poisoned by Wen Rui. Maybe if she went back and relaxed and lay down for eight or ten years, she would have gained enlightenment.

Now I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart. When I lay down and thought of Wen Rui's words, I was afraid that I would immediately sit up in shock from my illness and fall into endless anxiety.

This is like an insomniac who thinks he can fall asleep naturally by counting sheep, but while counting sheep, the sheep start talking: "How can you fall asleep? At your age, at your stage, can you fall asleep? You have no future!"

I immediately felt refreshed, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over my head!
Of course, she didn't understand these sinister words that could shake one's faith. She just felt that what Senior Brother Wen said made sense. If she was allowed to go back and waste a hundred years, she would be easily surpassed by He Lingyun.

Can Wen Rui let her go? If he lets her go back to comprehend on her own, won't he be unable to observe and collect key data for the Return to Void Breakthrough Stage on the spot?

Wen Rui spent a huge amount of spirit stones and a lot of time and energy to accompany her in practicing and upgrading. Was it because she was pretty?

Isn't it necessary to use her as a research subject to thoroughly figure out the secrets of the Return to Void Realm and gain experience for dealing with enemies in the Return to Void Realm in the future?

"I know I'm wrong, but that's not enough..."

The girl lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and retreated to the center of the jar timidly: "But I have no idea how to realize the Return to Void Realm. Please teach me, brother..."

"It is a great honor to know your mistakes and improve them. Even a young bird can be taught!"

Wen Rui praised her for her obedience: "Didn't I say I won't teach you? This month is a chance for you to break through yourself. If you can understand it on your own, your understanding of the Return to Void Realm will definitely be deeper. What a pity..."

In fact, it was because he was busy participating in secret exploration activities to cheat people and make money, but can Wen Rui admit it?
Luan Qingyu became increasingly uneasy and ashamed. There was no longer any of the arrogance she had when they first met. She was completely UA'd by Wen Rui.

"Oh, that's all."

Wen Rui sighed with disappointment and said, "Who made our Wen family owe you the Phoenix Clan? For the sake of our ancestral friendship, I will help the birds to the end. What's so difficult to understand about the concept of the Return to Void Realm? And you are observing the moon in the well to comprehend... Are you a monkey? Are you planning to fish or something?"

When it comes to talking about sharp tongue, Wen Rui is the best. Luan Qingyu's cheeks turned red with shame when she heard that, and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"The moon in the well is a phenomenon of light refraction, and has nothing to do with the basic concept of 'illusion'. It can barely be described as 'illusion', which means 'unreal', but 'unreal' does not necessarily mean 'illusion'."

Wen Rui said: "To understand the concept of virtuality, it is best to start from the field of mathematics. Let me ask you: the square of a number is equal to negative one, then what is this number equal to?"

Luan Qingyu had also read the mathematics section of the "Jiejiao Basic Education Series", but she was a poor student. She could barely remember some basic rules of mathematics and was proficient in the four arithmetic operations. However, she was stumped by Wen Rui's questions.

"This..." Luan Qingyu tried hard to recall the contents of the book. After thinking for a long time, he stammered, "It doesn't seem to be written in the book, but... I don't think such a number exists?"

“‘Unreal’ is not necessarily true, it is just a superficial understanding of the concept of ‘false’. ‘Non-existence’ is the deep understanding of ‘false’.”

Wen Rui smiled and said, "We define this number as i and understand it as the amount of rotation on the number axis. Then this 'non-existent' number has physical meaning and can help us understand everything in reality more deeply."

"Eh?"

Luan Qingyu was stunned, and Luanzi was like hearing thunder, and had no idea what Wen Rui was saying.

Wen Rui was still not satisfied, and continued with great excitement: "In terms of spatial dimension, virtuality does not even mean 'non-existence'. The projection of high-dimensional objects in the low-dimensional world is the 'reality' we see. We can neither see nor touch the part outside our dimension, and even our consciousness cannot perceive it, but it is an actual existence beyond our cognitive ability. The virtual and the real alternate, neither virtual nor real, changing and rotating, like Tai Chi..."

"Eh? Eh!? Senior brother, I understand every word you said, but I don't understand what you mean when you put them together!"
