Chapter 45 - Project Thunder God
Lin Yao knew about the plan for everyone to achieve stellar success. This was a plan that aimed for all human beings to achieve excellence. The 13th Military Boxing was among the research results.
But how could it be possible for a country to put all its eggs in one basket? In addition to ancient martial arts, such as military boxing, there were other plans and projects as well.
There was another project for large-scale cultivation of spirit plants so that every household would plant a Bodhi Tree. There was also Project Heavenly Abode, as well as Project Spirit Energy Bottle. All these were sub-projects of the big plan for everyone to succeed tremendously.
Apart from China, other countries had been undertaking various studies and research. According to some online sources, the West was working on melting the blood of monsters to strengthen one’s body, while Japan was focused on taming beasts and ghosts and turning them into Shikigami[1] so that everyone would have their own monster. As for America, which was opposing China, with the help of advanced technology, people there were working on mixing genes and performing genetic mutations. This was similar to Western Europe but more radical.
It could be said that the Spirit Energy Revival had resulted in a major change in the world, and in order for mankind to regain the pinnacle position of this great evolution, the big countries were doing their best to advance to higher levels.
The person who submitted the answers was a member of the research institute. Of course, such research had to be kept confidential. They could only reveal projects that were successful and had been applied or had failed.
The fusion of monsters in Western Europe, the Shikigami in Japan, the genetic modification in America, as well as the military boxing in China, were all feasible methods that had been widely practiced in society. This was why Lin Yao found information on them on the Internet.
The project that he had just found had not had the same fate. After reading the comments, Lin Yao found out that this project had failed 10 years ago.
While thinking about it, he read the reply of the person who had answered questions posed by others.
“As we all know, even when it comes to the Spirit Energy Revival, the world still abides by the law of energy conservation, which applies to martial artists as well. The stronger the martial artist, the more spirit energy they need to consume. They need a lot of energy for training and advancing to other levels. Although low-level martial artists do not need to consume so much energy, there are many low-level martial artists. Therefore, the entire world is facing a shortage of energy.
“Thanks to the Spirit Energy Revival, energy is distributed all over the world and is becoming more and more intense, yet this is still not enough for everyone in the country to practice, especially if millions of soldiers and civilians gathered in a city and breathed in spirit energy. Under these circumstances, the country launched Project Thunder God.
“It was named Project Thunder God because the core of this project is electricity.
“Yes, it is the electricity everyone is familiar with. The spirit energy is a form of energy, and so are electricity and flames. Compared to spirit energy, human beings have a better understanding of electricity and can transmit and produce more electricity. In order to ensure that everyone in China is not short of energy, the country launched Project Thunder God. The core of this plan is to replace the spirit energy with electricity so that as long as there is a socket in the house, everyone can absorb a steady stream of energy for practice without having to absorb the spirit energy in the air or worry about the lack of spirit energy. After all, the research of nuclear fusion power stations has been almost successful.
“This plan is not limited to our country. All countries are studying electrical energy. As long as electrical energy can be used to replace spirit energy, all problems will be solved. Unfortunately, the plan failed.
“The first step was very successful. We first determined whether, when combined together, spirit energy and electricity can be absorbed by the human body or not, and this turned out to be feasible. The new electrical energy has power of life. Humans can absorb the power of life of the electrical energy to strengthen their bodies.
“However, after being combined with the spirit energy, the electrical energy contains a power of life, as well as a power of destruction. This power can destroy the human body and the human nerves and even damage the brain, turning people into idiots as a result.
“Of course, electrical energy cannot kill people in a short time. However, if human beings aim to rely on electrical energy for their training, it must be absorbed daily, and the rate of absorption will gradually increase. For this reason, we are studying ways to eliminate the power of destruction of the new electrical energy and ways for humans to resist this kind of destructive electrical energy.
“However, through research, we realized that this is impossible. The power of life and the power of destruction of the new electrical energy are an organic whole. They are like two particles in quantum entanglement. If we destroy one of them, the other will also be destroyed.
“This research is one of the studies conducted by humans at the beginning of the Spirit Energy Revival. However, after decades, there has not been much progress. In addition, the emergence of an alternative option to Project Thunder God, which is military boxing, has brought about new possibilities. Therefore, Project Thunder God team has been reduced by more than 90%, and we are the project team that has been removed from the project.”
Lin Yao finally understood the efforts that the country had made secretly all these years. However, he still had some doubts.
‘This project is indeed great, but what about unlocking the gene lock, which is what I am looking for?’
Lin Yao was not the only person who had this question. Many people were asking similar questions. Unlocking the gene lock or having full-body control could strengthen one’s physique tremendously, so everyone wanted to master this.
Fortunately, the researcher gave them an answer after being repeatedly questioned. What he had said previously was not empty talk.
“I just asked the leader of the team, and he said that this can be shared with the public. It is a mature technology.
“First of all, I want to tell you that the ultimate move of military boxing, which is full-body control… Well, I think it is more appropriate to call this unlocking the gene lock. This can be achieved with external help.
“Archaeology. The unlocking of the gene lock is derived from archaeology.
“Although Vibrating Muscles and full-body control of ancient martial arts are not the same as unlocking the gene lock, they have the same results.
“Archeology…”
The researcher shared a large amount of information on archeology, and Lin Yao finally understood the reason behind the name of unlocking the gene lock. However, he was more interested in the use of external help to unlock the gene lock.
Very soon, the researcher revealed the answer that Lin Yao was looking for.
“The gene lock could be unlocked with external help. However, only a small group of people can unlock it.
“First of all, I want to tell you that the brain controls the body, and the brain relies on nerves to transmit information to the limbs.
“We react to everything that we see. This is information received from the eyes. The information is then transmitted to the brain and to all parts of the human body after the brain reacts to it. This is the reason people need a reaction time.
“This kind of conduction is caused by neuro-electricity. The specifics are too complicated to be covered in a book. All you need to know is that neuro-electricity controls the veins of the human body.
“Full-body control makes it easier for the brain to control the body. This relies on mental strength and an inexplicable connection, and if it can control the neuro-electricity, it can also gain perfect control of the body.
“This is part of our research for Project Thunder God. We have also helped people completely master their bodies by relying on electric currents.”
At this point, many people had questions for the researcher.
“Hasn’t Project Thunder God failed?”
“In general, it has failed, but not all parts of it have. Project Thunder God can actually be considered a success to a certain extent. I know you have questions, so let me explain.
“The main purpose of Project Thunder God is for everyone to have energy, but most people can’t adapt to the new electric current flowing in their body and can’t persist for a long time. This method is not suitable for everyone, which is why it failed. However, some people are the perfect fit. They can allow the electric current to flow through their body. In that case, they don’t need to worry about this problem… Even in this damn world, people are different from each other… That’s right, I am referring to people who have thunderous talent. People with this talent are a perfect fit for thunder and lightning. They are born to master thunder and lightning and they can absorb the power of thunder and lightning without worrying about burning their nerves, frying their brains, and becoming idiots.
“Therefore, Project Thunder God failed for others but was a success for them. They can also master some of the other things that we studied, such as relying on mastering neuro-electricity to fully master the body, releasing currents to stimulate the liberation of the body, getting rid of shackles, and unleashing great power.”
After looking through the replies, Lin Yao’s first reaction was: ‘Damn, the thunderous talent is so amazing. The entire country is helping research and study it. People with thunderous talent have the easiest time.’
Very soon, Lin Yao thought of something else. ‘Wait, the cartoon-like tree in my mind does not necessarily have to be the Bodhi Enlightenment Tree. I won’t suffer a loss if I plant a thunderous tree.’
