Volume 4 is in the ascendant Chapter 524: Pang Tong's Spiritual Power Experiment
Pang Tong had just shown Bai Tu the results of using love to generate electricity... no, it was the result of "mental power generation".
A civil servant who had just awakened his official seal reluctantly and not long ago, could light up three light bulbs without much pressure by directly utilizing the electricity he generated without relying on batteries - as for the source of the light bulbs... after understanding the principle and even saving the experimental luminous materials, it was very simple to make.
Pang Tong, the light bulb used in the experiment, was of very poor quality in Bai Tu's opinion. It could only illuminate a small room of about ten square meters, and would not be able to illuminate a larger room.
When trying his best, he can light up about 10 light bulbs , but he will soon fall into mental fatigue, just like the mental energy-consuming tactics when used excessively.
Looking at the official from the Ministry of Industry in front of him, gritting his teeth and looking like he was about to transform into a Saiyan, he only lit ten lights, and the tenth light was flickering. Bai Tu's brows trembled a little...
This efficiency is somewhat touching.
"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Tu said to the clerk in the Ministry of Industry who was conducting the experiment, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go down and lie down for a while. It's not easy to overdraw your mental strength!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The clerk from the Ministry of Works slowly walked out of the seldom-used hall of the Ministry of Works.
At this moment, there were countless light bulbs in the hall...
Although he was an ordinary clerk, only at the level of ten lamps, Pang Tong had previously experimented with connecting multiple people in series.
"Isn't this efficiency a little low? Where are the other civil servants?" Bai Tu pinched his eyes with some regret when he saw that the clerk who had just conducted the experiment had left .
"If I do it, it will be much better." Pang Tong said, putting the special hood with a light bulb that he had just put on the clerk's head on his own head.
As soon as Pang Tong's face appeared, hundreds of light bulbs were lit up without !
When Pang Tong showed an effort, his two flying shovel-like eyebrows fluttered left and right as if he was dancing with a peerless sword technique. His eyes, which were originally as big as green beans, widened to as big as yellow beans, and his upturned nose became two circles wider than before... He gave it his all - in an instant, five times the number of light bulbs as before, all lit up brightly, and the whole hall was magnificent!
However, after persisting for a quarter of an hour, Pang Tong relaxed a little tiredly. He was not as exhausted as the clerk before him who was about to be unable to walk, but his face turned slightly pale.
"Thank you for your hard work..." Bai Tu said to Pang Tong's eyebrows... No! He said to Pang Tong.
Perhaps because he had been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, Pang Tong became more and more knowledgeable about engineering. He said in a somewhat dull tone, "Generally speaking, a top strategist like me is probably at this level... But I am not the type that excels in mental strength."
Although Pang Tong had some arrogance caused by his inferiority complex in the past, he was almost instinctive in terms of etiquette and would not call himself a "top strategist" so directly.
However, while Pang Tong is now awkward in etiquette, he has basically no inferiority complex. Even if his facial features sometimes scare people, Pang Tong will just shake a few strands of hair on his head nonchalantly.
But Pang Tong's marriage seemed to be a bit difficult, as he had already reached the late marriage age advocated by the Chu State...
Although Pang Tong is handsome, given his status and ability, if he really wants to get married, he would probably be more popular than Bai Tu choosing a concubine!
But Pang Tong himself didn't care much about it, and the Ministry of Works was too busy, so it was delayed - after all, even if a family wanted to "seduce", they couldn't enter the Gongkou City.
Of course, there are many female craftsmen in Gongkou City now, but unfortunately, at present, nothing beyond friendship has been developed.
Bai Tu could only wish them the best and keep an eye on this...
"Let me try it too." Bai Tu took the hood from Pang Tong and shook it in his hands.
Obviously, both in appearance and interior, this hood is much more complicated than the previous "psychic telegraph" version. As for the specific principles... Bai Tu no longer wants to pursue it. After all, he doesn't need to write a paper on it!
"ah!"
The moment the white map was put on, Lu Lingqi exclaimed, and even immediately put on armor...
Although there were only three of them in the Ministry of Industry Hall at this time, Lu Lingqi still reacted quickly and stood between Bai Tu and Pang Tong. Pang Tong... was covering his eyes at this time and said excitedly: "My king, please collect your mental power! If it is stronger, the circuits here will have problems!"
That’s right, the moment the white map was put on…
Effortlessly, all the light bulbs in the hall lit up!
Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi didn't know, but Pang Tong knew that there were a total of 6,000 light bulbs in the hall, and about a hundred of them were damaged during the previous experiment...
And after Bai Tu took off his hood, there was a faint smell of burnt food in the air. If you think about it carefully, the light bulb just now seemed to be brighter than normal!
It was no wonder that Lu Lingqi overreacted when suddenly attacked by strong light. After all, the surroundings were suddenly full of "blinding" effects, especially above Pang Tong's head, which seemed to have a very strong blinding spot...
Pang Tong said with emotion: "You are worthy of being the king. If the king is willing, it can already light up a main street!"
Bai Tu felt that this compliment was a bit awkward...
However, this was also the first time that Bai Tu had a more intuitive understanding of his own mental power.
After all, he was a man who could materialize his mental power and slightly interfere with Huang Zhong's "arrows" - the mental power of ordinary clerks was invisible!
Unfortunately, the extreme power supply of the white map has not been tested yet.
If it were Bai Tu himself, he would have arranged household appliances in the Chu Palace by now.
However, there was only one Baitu in the entire Chu State. It was obviously difficult to meet the daily needs of the people by relying solely on Baitu or a small number of civil servants.
I don’t know how long it will take to fully charge some large batteries.
Of course, in Pang Tong's opinion, this was not a big problem - after all, he just wanted to improve the mental telegraph.
As for light bulbs and the like... they were originally just for testing. For lighting, lighting candles will do the same!
At the beginning, Pang Tong just wanted to use batteries to reduce the mental power requirements when sending mental telegrams.
"Spiritual power... can it be taxed like true energy?" Bai Tu asked with some anticipation.
Because there was no cheap way to generate electricity, Pang Tong didn't have much of an impression of electricity. But since Bai Tu had asked, Pang Tong, who was very well prepared, still answered: "If you want to extract mental power, it's actually quite dangerous. Unlike true energy, if mental power is extracted excessively, it's easy to develop a disease, and..."
Pang Tong was halfway through his words when a rather delicate female voice interrupted him, "And unlike the 'true energy tax', extracting spiritual energy from ordinary people is not within the scope of Cheng Ji's services!"
It was Yu Ji who showed up - although this was not Cheng Ji's residence, Yu Ji had always been able to slightly ignore such restrictions.
Bai Tu was not surprised to see Yu Ji, and was relieved after hearing the news.
After all, after listening to Pang Tong’s words, we know that no matter how much one overdraws one’s true energy, it can only be “drained” at most, and then the taxpayer will be weak for a few days.
Although there are side effects, such as permanent weakening of true Qi... but true Qi is not essential for life after all, so it is not a big problem.
But as for mental strength...
Ordinary people also have mental power. If someone were to overdraw their mental power in the future, I'm afraid that the local people would suffer heavy casualties!
But Bai Tu doesn’t need to worry now, Cheng Ji is unable to collect mental power at all.
But in this case, if we can only use the corresponding devices to absorb electricity, and if we can only use "ordinary civil servants" as the basic unit of contributed electricity, then the use of electricity is indeed not very reliable!
After all, it is not worth it to train a grassroots clerk with great effort, and the only effect he can achieve is two chapters of Nanfu! Even if the Nanfu can be used for decades...
As if she could see the complex expression of Bai Tu's relief and disappointment, Yu Ji admired him for a while and then said, "But... there is a trick. Minister Pang made something similar before, which can absorb the spiritual power emitted by oneself. Based on this, Cheng Ji can collect the spiritual power emitted by oneself at the designated location."
In other words, it is impossible to directly extract spiritual power from humans in a similar way to extracting human energy or true qi, but it is possible to absorb the part that is emitted spontaneously, and there is no need to worry about "harm" because it is already emitted spontaneously.
"Emitted mental power?" Bai Tu seemed to have thought of something after hearing this, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.
Now he knew the effect of Ni Heng's tactics - after all, this guy always used them on his own people, so it was hard not to be reported, and in front of Bai Tu, Ni Heng did not dare to hide it.
The spiritual power radiating...
Could it be that once radio communications mature, we will let Ni Heng make a radio program and broadcast it in various cities?
This can effectively stimulate the overflow of mental energy, but... there is only one Ni Heng, and there might not be one left after two days of broadcasting!
Fortunately, Pang Tong had already observed the patterns of other mental energy overflows, so Ni Heng didn't need to take risks...
Before, because "electricity" had not been discovered and mental power could not be directly observed, Pang Tong should be considered the first person to study mental power from the perspective of natural science - electricity, making mental power observable.
Although judging from the example of armor communication, Pang Tong suspected that what he was observing now was not the essence of mental power, but at least he had already started.
First of all, although the level of mental strength is related to personal qualifications and increases with age, in general, reading, or mastering more knowledge, can bring you higher mental strength.
Another thing is the overflow of spiritual power...
Through observation experiments, Pang Tong discovered that when people are learning knowledge, the maximum value of their mental power is gradually increasing. It is also at this time that the mental power is the most active and the overflow is most obvious!
In other words, if one wants to generate electricity by collecting overflowing spiritual power, elementary schools, county schools, and even universities and crafts schools are the most suitable places for "generating electricity".
