Volume 4 is in the ascendant Chapter 428: Pan-Qi Plan
The Ministry of Industry's Qi machines have technically solved the problem of mass storage and are able to produce large Qi crystals that can store more Qi.
The current technological obstacle is that there are too few sources of true qi!
Relying solely on the gilded warriors to supply true qi, and accumulating it to manufacture those large machines, or even true qi ships?
Please save the Gilded Warrior...
Generally speaking, the gilded warriors have just begun to possess true Qi, and the training methods in the accompanying "instructions" of the gilded armor must also have the effect of refining true Qi.
However, it doesn't mean that wooden and stone warriors don't have true qi - firstly, the "instructions" of a few wooden and stone armors have the nature of refining true qi, and secondly, many ready-made cultivation methods also have ways to refine true qi, but at most the effects are not as good as those of tailor-made "instructions".
Especially for martial arts warriors, like Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, they have been cultivating true qi since the beginning, before they even had military tokens...
It’s just that most soldiers in the army start by strengthening their muscles and bones. Even when Lu Bu was teaching Bai Tu, he used the same routine.
Considering only the battlefield aspect, the cost-effectiveness of the wooden and stone warriors practicing true qi is not high!
The "Pan-Qi Project" jointly launched by the Ministry of Industry and the Medical College is to popularize the practice of Qi. Not only will the Wood and Stone Generals practice it, but it will also be promoted among the general public.
If most people have a certain amount of "true qi", even if everyone has only one nano, they can cooperate with the city princess's collection model, and extract a certain amount of true qi every quarter just like extracting manpower to supply the large true qi machine...
If successful, even though the Chengji world has no coal mines or oil fields, its "population" will be equivalent to the scale of an oil field!
Of course, this idea is beautiful, but it is still difficult to implement in practice.
The first step is to tackle technical problems.
It would be simpler for the Privy Council to summarize the most suitable Qi training method for wooden and stone warriors to replace the existing basic training.
Although... the generals of the Privy Council generally believe that this set of basic training content mixed with true qi cultivation is actually not as good as the previous version. It is equivalent to adding less strength and agility and increasing the mana. However, considering that if the wood and stone warriors have true qi, they can charge the true qi crossbow by themselves, it is actually not a loss.
After all, the cost-effectiveness of adding blue was low before, because on the battlefield, the "blue bar" did not have much room to play, but with the Qi Crossbow, the situation is completely different.
What is even more difficult is the popularization among the people...
In fact, Hua Tuo's "Five Animal Exercises", in several of the most authentic versions, have a certain effect in cultivating true qi and are indeed helpful to health.
Pang Tong's cooperation with the medical school this time was precisely because he wanted Hua Tuo to develop a set of "Five Animal Exercises" that was more suitable for the Pan Zhenqi plan.
For the new Five Animal Play , Pang Tong hoped to focus more on "adding blue" and preserving the characteristics of prolonging life and benefiting health, but in terms of adding strength and agility, there were no requirements. It was mainly for health preservation and did not encourage people to be brave and aggressive.
Make full use of the "lack" in strength and agility to reduce "cost"!
Cost is the biggest obstacle to promotion.
Since ancient times, it has been said that the poor are literary and the rich are martial...
Although those who are capable of "literacy" nowadays are certainly not too poor, those who practice martial arts are definitely from wealthy families - the children of top wealthy families may disdain the courage of ordinary people, and at most they are diligent in riding and shooting, but... ordinary farmers are not qualified to practice martial arts!
As for Dian Wei and his ilk?
Well, my martial arts skills are not acquired through practice...
For ordinary people, if they want to practice martial arts, they must at least have enough meat. Eating steamed buns all day and practicing martial arts will only make their bodies unable to bear it.
The consumption of nutrients by exercises that refine true Qi will be !
Not only is it necessary to ensure dietary nutrition, but also to supplement with tonic medicine, from internal administration to external medicinal baths, all of which are indispensable. Some more sophisticated practice methods even require the cooperation of the sleeping environment.
The more you lay the foundation, the more this is true...
Compared with other times, the lives of the people of Chu State were indeed very good in that year. Not only was the grain production high and the tax revenue low, but the prices of meat and other commodities were also very cheap.
Cao Cao and his men kept shouting about imitating the Chu State, but Bai Tu found that they didn't even know how to raise pigs, and only focused on military equipment, salt and iron...
If this continues for five or six years, Bai Tu estimates that even if both sides do not use weapons or wear armor, the people of Chu will be able to defeat two or three of them alone.
but……
If we ask every household to practice martial arts, it would be a bit bullying, and forcefully promoting it would probably lead to a return to poverty.
Therefore, Pang Tong’s requirement for the customized version of Five Animal Play is that the “cost” must be reduced, that is... as long as it has a positive impact on health, all investment should be placed on “adding blue”!
In addition, it must be safe, easy to understand, and easy to practice. It should not cause any loss of vital energy, and it does not require any lethality.
Hua Tuo, a master of health care and medical treatment, felt that the plan was a bit tricky, but he still accepted the order. The medical school also dispatched experts in nutrition.
Pang Tong, who had never practiced martial arts and only knew a little about riding and shooting, also helped analyze the comparison between input and output...
In Song Xian's words, the Ministry of Industry and the Medical College did not look like they were developing any cultivation methods. Rather, it looked like he had used different feeds and different amounts to calculate how to feed pigs to produce the most meat.
Now judging from what Hua Tuo said, the initial version of his new Five Animal Exercises has basically been finalized. The only thing left to consider is how to "supply energy" in terms of "nutrition".
If you choose medicinal stones, you must choose those that are easy to cultivate and mass-produce artificially - otherwise they cannot be promoted at all!
According to what Hua Tuo said in the dialogue, we cannot say that this new Five Animal Exercises has met the Ministry of Works' expectations to perfection, but it is already the limit of what we can do at present. We can only further summarize the experience and lessons in practice and slowly "upgrade" it.
As for how to improve the supporting industries in the future, for example... meat consumption will definitely increase further, and some auxiliary medicines will need to be mass-produced, which means that pigs still need to be raised, fish still need to be caught, and fields still need to be reclaimed.
And most importantly, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to practice...
These require the six departments to work together and take many aspects into consideration.
That is why Hua Tuo said that Pang Tong should wait for Bai Tu to return before discussing the matter with the six ministries and the Privy Council. This is not something that the Ministry of Works can resolve on its own.
Even if the technical difficulties are slightly overcome, it is still visible that there will still be many operational difficulties.
However, as long as Bai Tu thought about it, once it was completely... no, as long as the "Pan-Qi Plan" was initially realized, those "big guys" would be able to step onto the military and civilian stages one by one. He had already made up his mind to overcome any difficulties no matter how difficult they were!
In the world of Cheng Ji, where there is no fossil energy, whether Bai Tu can achieve deeper industrialization along the route he is familiar with depends on this...
