Cultivation is just Chapter 465: 279: Strength

Chapter 465: Chapter 279: Strength

Li Shiming was about a hundred miles outside the sect, a distance that could not really be considered leaving the mountain gate, for this area still fell within the highest surveillance range of the Sect Formation.

Golden Core cultivators arriving here would be detected by the Sect Formation.

He flew upwards, only stopping when he reached an altitude of ten thousand ters.

At this point, the monitoring power of the formation below had weakened considerably, largely because the proximity to the Thirty-Three Heavens caused significant interference with Spiritual Power.

From his Space Ring, he retrieved a fire rocket; since becoming a Guest Elder of the Beishu Trading Company, any of his needs were fully t by the company.

The super-sized Beishu Trading Company could not be compared to the small trading companies he had collaborated with on Sky Sea Island.

They delivered any item, be it Spiritual Objects or mundane items, in any quantity, as long as he could provide a na for them.

This enabled him to create enough liquid hydrogen to carry out his experints as he wished.

As for the rocket’s outer shell, such mundane tal was easily crafted, and with the reinforcent of the Red Sun Spiritual Fire, it was no worse than the aerospace alloys of his previous life.

The huge rocket was secured by a launch pad, which was no ordinary object but a modified Flying Boat.

The launch pad floated ten thousand ters in the air, with the massive rocket supported by it.

Li Shiming checked the ti, recalibrating the timing chip inside the rocket with the monitoring instrunts.

Since the experint was a solo endeavor, there was no need to concern himself with any sense of ceremony.

With a thought, he activated the rocket’s engines, and flas spat downwards.

All the clamps on the launch pad automatically released, and under the powerful thrust, the rocket slowly ascended.

Conducting these tests here, he was not worried about other cultivators discovering them, for with his status and identity, so excessive personal hobbies would not cause any trouble.

Besides, he had the reputation of being a genius Artifact Refiner on his side, so experinting with Artifact Refining techniques was entirely normal for him.

Once the rocket entered the domain of the Thirty-Three Heavens, its condition could only be inferred through monitoring instrunts.

Launching a rocket from ten thousand ters up had the advantage of saving a significant amount of fuel. Such a rocket launch pad capable of floating at such an altitude was unachievable with the technology of his previous life, without the use of Cultivation Techniques.

Of course, due to the rocket being launched directly upwards, it consud more fuel than a typical rocket launch would.

However, according to calculations from the IBMz15, the fuel was sufficient for the rocket to reach the designated altitude.

As the first stage of the rocket separated, it exited the dense atmosphere; Earth’s gravity beca exceedingly weak.

The second stage engine ignited, propelling the rocket further upwards until it reached the designated altitude.

Down below, Li Shiming’s eyes flashed with astonishnt as he closely monitored the data from the IBMz15, which was revealing part of the world’s secrets to him.

“Activate the cara function!” he spoke solemnly to himself, manually triggering the action as the second stage of the rocket separated and the rocket’s nose, maintained by the last bit of fuel, held its altitude.

Although the previous five experints had given him so idea of the facts, he still found it hard to believe the discovery confird by this test.

The cara on the rocket was switched on, and with the remaining fuel being limited, he could not guarantee how long the rocket could maintain its altitude.

Unlike his initial idea of deploying monitoring satellites in the high altitude atmosphere, after several experints, he had lost much of his interest in setting up satellites. Instead, he was more interested in the pursuit of truth.

The rocket held for thirty-five seconds before it began to fall back to Earth due to fuel exhaustion, and in the process of its rapid descent through the upper atmosphere, it turned into a ball of fire.

Li Shiming didn’t show any lant over the sixth failure, nor did he feel pained at the loss of a rocket.

Unlike in his previous life, in the Cultivation World, the value of mundane items was extrely low, and had it not been for his request, the Beishu Trading Company would not have taken such a low-value order.

The major cost of a mundane rocket was the investnt of his ti.

Indeed, the ti of an Alchemy Master was exceedingly precious. The ti he spent in the manufacturing facility he had established at Sword Holding Peak, with its spatial formation, was worth a billion tis more than the materials used in his experints.

Li Shiming went to the projection room of the manufacturing facility. He transferred the recording from the monitoring instrunt to the projection equipnt.

Including the entire manufacturing facility, everything here was different from the outside Cultivation World.

Everything was built in the style he had controlled in his previous life; although the projection room was for his use alone, it was still designed like a small cinema.

The decoration and the equipnt within were the results of his years of effort.

Items that seed ordinary in his previous life had only been realized after painstakingly reconstructing the technology.

Only in the Cultivation World, with the aid of Divine Thought and the vast amount of technical data in the IBMz15, could he hope to recreate the technology of his previous world single-handedly.

Especially after he learned Artifact Refining, he no longer needed to use electric arc furnaces for many manufacturing processes and switched to using the Red Sun Spiritual Fire instead, which saved him a great deal of ti, allowing him to accomplish so much in just two years.

After taking his seat, images began to appear on the screen in front of him.
