Chapter 323 Ether Energy Concentration Room

 “You follow me.”

Yan Wenzhu immediately stood up and left the minister's office with Ji Xinghuo.

As soon as I went out, two secretaries followed me.

 One is Yu Lu, and the other secretary is a man in his thirties whom I have never met before.

A few people got off the elevator, walked out of the Astral Ministry office building, and walked for a few minutes to a building with only three floors. The square building was very inconspicuous, but it occupied a wide area, like a factory.

There is a sign reading "Aetheric Research Institute of the Astral Ministry" hanging outside the gate, and there are alien guards with loaded weapons standing guard at the door.

Yan Wenzhu introduced: "A unit directly under the Astral Department of the Ether Research Institute, which specializes in the research of ether energy technology."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

 The most important thing for the evolution of aliens is to absorb and transform etheric energy. This organization's research on etheric energy must include cultivation.

 “Minister!”

 A scientific researcher in a white coat came out quickly.

Ji Xinghuo observed the other person. He was in his fifties and was only an intermediate alien, but Yan Wenzhu respected him very much.

"Xinghuo, let me introduce you." Yan Wenzhu said seriously: "This is Director Ke Mingshan of the Ether Research Institute. Director Ke is the top authority on ether energy in our country and even in the world."

Ji Xinghuo greeted respectfully: "Hello, Director Ke."

 “I don’t dare to take it, I don’t dare to take it.” Ke Mingshan is very modest.

Yan Wenzhu then said to Ke Mingshan: "He is Ji Xinghuo. Director Ke should have heard of his name."

“Number one on the ladder!” Ke Mingshan’s eyes lit up slightly, with envy on his face. “I’ve seen Qi’s video. Young people today are really amazing. Welcome to the Ethereum Research Institute, please come in.”

Several people followed Ke Mingshan through the door.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction has long been scanned. The interior of the Ether Research Institute is heavily guarded. There are thousands of people in total, most of whom are guards. There are only three to four hundred real scientific researchers scattered in various research laboratories.

However, a scientific research team of several hundred people is already quite large.

Ke Mingshan took people to his office, and the two secretaries stayed outside. Yan Wenzhu said what he wanted to say: "Old Ke, Xinghuo is the deputy director of the Sword Bureau, Xuanyuan Swordsman, a national key talent cultivation specially approved by the head of state. You know how to arrange it.”

　　When mentioning the head of state, Ke Mingshan's expression immediately became serious, and he nodded: "Yes, I understand."

 Then he looked at the young Ji Xinghuo and sighed: "Director Ji is really young and promising."

　　First on the ladder, deputy director of the Sword Bureau, special approval from the head of state, any one of these levels of status is a heavyweight.

 Now it is concentrated on a young man who is only in his twenties.

 It’s really amazing.

"Director Ke, you have given me the award. Please take more care of me in the future." Ji Xinghuo did not show any arrogance.

 He also wanted to be a scientist when he was a child. When he grew up, he knew that he was not the material, but he always had respect for science.

“Just call me Lao Ke.” Ke Mingshan said with a smile, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to visit.”

Yan Wenzhu said: "Xinghuo, go ahead and come to my office later."

"OK."

Ji Xinghuo knew that he had to go back and arrange his other resources.

After Yan Wenzhu left, Ke Mingshan took Ji Xinghuo to visit. The first one was the "Ether Energy Concentration Room". On the first floor of the research institute, it was a hall of tens of thousands of square meters, with thick alloy walls. It is divided into hundreds of smaller training rooms, with different sizes and different functions.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction found that only a small part of the training room was occupied by people.

Most of these people are legends, and there are also heavenly kings.

He did not spy on other people's cultivation. He listened to Ke Mingshan say: "Our institute has been established for more than seventy years and has invested countless funds. Now it has built 108 ether energy-gathering chambers, which are divided into three levels according to the difference in ether energy density."

“The first-level ether energy-concentrating chambers are the most numerous, with a total of 50. The energy density increases by about 50%, and the cultivation efficiency increases by 20%, which varies from person to person.”

“There are 45 secondary ether energy-concentrating chambers, the energy density increases by nearly 100%, and the alien’s cultivation efficiency increases by about 50%.”

“There are only 13 third-level ether energy-concentrating chambers, the energy density is increased by 300%, and the cultivation efficiency is increased by more than 100%.”

“Each ether energy-gathering room can only provide a cultivation amplification effect to one alien at the same time.”

While talking, the two of them walked into a master control room.

There are two scientific researchers in charge here. They quickly stood up and called: "Director."

"You continue to work." Ke Mingshan said kindly, and skillfully operated the main console. One wall in the room turned into a large screen, showing the current usage of all ether energy gathering rooms.

 There are currently 36 ether energy gathering rooms in use.

Most people are in the second-level training room. There are only three people in the third-level training room, and they are all heavenly kings.

Ji Xinghuo has met two of them, namely Huo Keji and Xing Lie.

Although I have never seen the third Heavenly King, he is also famous. His name is Li Xuan. He is ranked 47th on the Heavenly Kings list and is nicknamed "Thousand Fantasy Swordsman". He is also the youngest person on earth at present. He just turned 50 years old this year.

 Li Xuan has no official status and is not a person designated by the head of state. He is an ordinary citizen in politics. He mainly runs his own social account and publishes videos and articles, that is, he is an Internet celebrity.

Ji Xinghuo asked in surprise: "Is the ether energy gathering room also open to the public?"

“As long as you are a citizen of our country, you can apply, but you have to pass the review of the Star Boundary Department and pay the fees yourself.” Ke Mingshan smiled.

Ji Xinghuo guessed something, "The review is very strict?"

"Yes." Ke Mingshan nodded, "The most basic requirement is to be in the top 300 on the ladder and the top 100 in the legendary list. There is no limit for the king."

 “The cost is high?” Ji Xinghuo was a little curious.

“It’s very, very expensive, even a billionaire would feel heartbroken.” Ke Mingshan replied with a smile and opened a fee schedule.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at it and began to feel heartache.

 Ether energy concentration rooms are charged by the hour. The lowest level of ether energy concentration room charges 1 million Asian dollars per hour. If you practice ten hours a day, it will cost 10 million. This does not include the training equipment worn and the medicines consumed, which must be paid separately.

 Level ether concentration room, 2 million Asian dollars per hour.

 The most expensive three-level ether energy-concentrating chamber, the cost has soared to 5 million Asian dollars per hour!

 “Holy shit!”

This price is too outrageous.

During practice, the ether energy gathering chamber does not have to be used every minute. It only needs to be used during the process of restoring star power after the star power is consumed. It accounts for about one-third to half of the whole day's practice time, which can save a lot of money. .

Even so, the fees are too expensive.

Based on eight hours of use a day, the third-level etheric energy gathering room will cost 40 million Asian dollars, and a full year of practice will cost about 14.5 billion!

 Level 1 and 2 are not cheap either.

Furthermore, just having money is not enough, the Astral Ministry’s review requirements are too high.

　　You must be able to afford it, you must be talented enough, and you must be politically reliable. There are not many people in the country who meet these three conditions at the same time.

So those who can practice here are mostly people from government departments or the military who have made great achievements and made great contributions. They are also talented. They are recommended by their units and departments and can use the ether energy gathering room for free.

 There are very few people who actually pay for themselves.

"This is too expensive." Ji Xinghuo shook his head and sighed.

Ke Mingshan said: "This is also a helpless move. We cannot make ether crystals. The ether crystals currently used are obtained from the star realm and are very rare. We can only use them sparingly and give priority to official aliens."

The ether energy-concentrating room not only consumes a huge amount of electrical energy, but the maintenance of various equipment is also very expensive, and ether crystals are also required.

Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo's heart moved.

“Director Ke, can the ether crystal be used to pay the fee?” he asked.

"Of course." Ke Mingshan nodded immediately, "Not only can it be paid, but there is a huge discount. An ether crystal is discounted to 20 million Asian dollars, and when paying the fee, the price is only half."

 Ji Xinghuo calculated quickly.

If you use a third-level ether energy-concentrating room, you only need to hand in one ether crystal for eight hours a day.

 He also has nearly 500 ether crystals in his hand.

 You don’t have to pay for it yourself, but you can ask your second brother Zhong Ming to come, as well as Manying. It's very difficult for the eldest sister. Even if she becomes a stranger, the probability of passing the review is very low unless she specifically says hello.

Ke Mingshan saw Ji Xinghuo's expression and guessed: "Do you have an ether crystal?"

"There are some."

Ji Xinghuo nodded and asked directly: "If I pay the fee with ether crystals and apply for an ether energy gathering room for others to use, is it possible?"

"It depends on Minister Yan, the review power is in his hands." Ke Mingshan laughed, "The training room in our research institute is empty most of the time, which is a bit wasteful. It would be great if we could earn ether crystals. good."

Ji Xinghuo understood.

He didn’t say anything more about it. He followed Ke Mingshan to visit the research institute and proposed to try the effect of the ether concentration chamber.

Ke Mingshan immediately agreed and arranged a third-level training room for Ji Xinghuo.

  The training room consists of three parts.

 Service team, exercise equipment, and most importantly, the etheric energy concentration room.

Ji Xinghuo changed into training clothes and entered the training room. Immediately there was a team of three scientific researchers asking if he wanted to use auxiliary medicine. He thought about it and said that he would not use it today.

 He used the "ether refining solvent" when he was in the astral realm, and it lasted for more than ten days.

 The effects of many potions cannot be superimposed, so they will not be wasted.

 Furthermore, he wanted to eliminate other factors and make a comparison to see which one has a greater improvement between the effect of the third-level ether energy-concentrating chamber and Sister Ren's Blue Sky Forest.

Ji Xinghuo immediately felt his whole body sinking as he entered the training room. This room had the same artificial gravity as on a battleship. Training in a high-gravity environment would consume star power faster and be safer.

 He glanced at the wall screen. It was currently five times gravity.

 Then, he lay down and tried to do a bench press with a twenty-ton barbell. He found that it was a little too light, so he said to the staff outside: "Increase the gravity."
