Li Xian personally took the lead in researching the spirit stone. Although there had been research on spirit stones in the past, it was not on a large scale because they really did not know how to start. In fact, it was not that no one in the fairyland had studied spirit stones, but it was obviously unsuccessful; that is why there is such a shortage of spirit stones now.
But this time, because he found a way to study Lingshi, Li Xian finally expanded the research on Lingshi on a large scale. Li Xian ordered Peng Yongguang, the current head of the power department, to be responsible for this project.
Although Li Xian’s idea was good, he encountered too many problems during the research.
"Master, ordinary materials cannot store spiritual energy. Jade can store spiritual energy, but jade is not strong enough..."
"Use black iron!" Li Xian interrupted the researcher's chatter.
The researchers ran to the black iron factory and asked Hu Juncai for black iron, ten tons at a time. Then Hu Juncai came to complain - Master, we don’t have enough.
"What's not enough?" Li Xian was very annoyed. How come you don't know how to share worries and solve problems? You have to rely on me to solve everything. You really think I'm a nanny.
Hu Juncai smiled bitterly: "Master, we can only produce about 500 kilograms of black iron a day. Now the factory is expanding in all aspects, and all the black iron produced every day is not enough to be used as conductors. The cement plant is expanding, the machinery plant is expanding, and the smelting plant is expanding. In terms of electricity, black iron is not only a superconducting wire, but also a spiritual conductor, which is in the greatest demand. The rest of the engines, locomotives, and Floating Cloud Island all need black iron. There is also the arsenal that has just started construction, which also needs a lot of black iron. Master, we also need to expand ourselves, and now it is really tight."
Li Xian flipped through Hu Juncai's thick account book and was dazzled by what he saw; electricity and black iron were now interdependent, and these two departments were also the ones that consumed the most black iron. Looking at the other various applications bit by bit, Li Xian had to admit that the factory was actually already stretched; if the research on spiritual stones was added, the fragile balance of the entire group would be broken.
"Development is too fast!" Li Xian rubbed his brows with a wry smile; but spirit stones are really too important. If the spirit stone problem can be solved, the last heavy iron chain bound around the neck of the Brilliant Star Group can be untied.
"Hold a meeting! Everyone, hold a meeting and sort out the development situation!" Li Xian had no choice but to hold a meeting. He sent Song Xing, who was beside him, to Anyang Prefecture to invite Fang Shijing so that everyone could brainstorm.
Fang Shijing was also in a state of headache after seeing Song Xing. There were a lot of things in Anyang that had not been dealt with yet, and there were things to do in the group. Fang Shijing had no choice but to find Xu Ren, who was the most idle. When others were busy, he was drinking tea with Ling Zhifeng.
"You two are so relaxed."
Ling Zhifeng chuckled, "Mr. Fang, you don't know. I just finished the divination. Anyang will have a smooth journey in the next year. Great good!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Shijing, who was busy and exhausted, got angry: "Dashan, you big head ghost! Now I give you a task, continue to look for counselors and scholars from all over the country, we need at least three more counselors here."
"I'm a Taoist priest, I only do divination. Don't ask me for other things. Oh, I suddenly felt something, I'm going to go into seclusion, don't disturb me." Ling Zhifeng threw down the cup and ran away.
