(Quite a long chapter lol)
"Fairy Bai, sleep in this room for tonight." Jiang Qiao pointed to the already tidy bedroom next to him.
Bai Yueling closed the book, looked up and silently nodded.
Cultivators didn't have many needs for a place to dwell, especially because all they required were fish and wild cranes to make weapons, and the vast majority of them resided in caves.
"I'm done reading, are there any other books?"
Jiang Qiao was shocked, what reading speed is this? Just with a single glance and ten lines are so fast! Is this a reading fairy instead?
Seeing the unbelievable expression on his face, Fairy Bai explained casually.
"It's a rough browse, and there are many things that I don't understand very well, such as intelligent equipment, online business handling, and making full use of big data... But this is indeed a good book on governing a country. If the ideas written here are replicated to the real world, the country will be rich and strong. For instance, if the people can work in peace and in a satisfactory environment, they will exert their utmost effort which once again proves that the person who made this book is wise.”
Jiang Qiao's face was complicated, and as expected, no matter what era, a person couldn’t hide their brilliance. Moreover, at this speed of learning, Jiang Qiao is afraid it won't be long before she can complete everything from elementary school to university courses, and if she wants to continue her studies, sure enough her name will be left in the history of science.
"Those are things only known in modern times. You don't need to understand them for the time being. I'll buy you some other books tomorrow. If you want to simply understand the world, it should be faster through videos."
"What is a video?" Fairy Bai was puzzled.
"It's the image left by human beings in some way."
Bai Yueling nodded, there is no lack of such Taoist methods and strange things on the way to immortality, which is easy to understand.
Jiang Qiao went back to his room, took out the laptop he bought when he was in college, and trekked back to the living room.
"Sit down here." He patted the seat next to him.
Bai Yueling gave him a vigilant look: "What do you want to do?"
"Let me show you a small video, you are sitting so far and the screen is so small that you can't see it at all." Jiang Qiao paused for a second and continued: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you."
Fairy Bai simply moved over little by little, but she was still about a punch away from him. If this mortal dared to play any tricks with her, he would be met with the taste of her palm thunder again.
There was a faint scent around her, and she obviously used the same shampoo and shower gel as him, no wonder her body smelled so good.
Jiang Qiao glanced at her quietly, the fairy was sitting upright, her beautiful feet were completely hidden in her soft skirt, and he was slightly regretful that he couldn't see what he wanted.
"What is this?" Bai Yueling asked, looking at the thin iron plate resting on his lap.
Jiang Qiao turned on the laptop, and after pressing the power button, the dark screen gradually lit up.
"This thing is called a computer, which is similar to the human brain, except that it uses electric currents as an operating energy. It is one of the highest manifestations of the use of technology by humans in this era. Humans can use it to do many things, such as being able to know without leaving the comfort of their own home about world affairs, watching movies, listening to music, entertainment, making money, you can simply think of it as a know-it-all."
Hearing this, Bai Yueling was dubious. Even though she didn’t have this kind of ability, how can the power of technology be so magical?
Seeing her suspicious look, Jiang Qiao smiled without explaining too much, after all, it would be better to see it with her own eyes.
Skillfully opening Station B, among the dazzling covers, Jiang Qiao opened a video called "Fear of Insufficient Firepower".
(T/L: Station B is essentially Youtube but for China)
"Strength is always the basis for upholding justice!"
"National defense is always the real backing of diplomacy!"
"Dignity is only above the sword!"
"Truth is only within the range of a cannon!"
The invigorated quotes coupled with a human smashing a table that looked hard as brick left Jiang Qiao in awe.
The next pictures were all kinds of rockets being fired at the same time, completely destroying the position within the target, the steel torrent rolling over, the J20 eagle hitting the sky.
Bai Yueling stared blankly at everything played in the video. The destructive power generated by the explosion of those weapons was astonishing. It could even fall from the sky from hundreds of kilometers away and raze the entire mountain to the ground but the range power is by all means so powerful.
Moreover, this weapon seems to be endless, no need to chant and consume, it is extremely terrifying.
At the end of the video, Jiang Qiao suppressed his pride and asked her with a serious face: "This is a modern weapon, which can be precisely guided. Even if you hide in an inconspicuous ravine thousands of kilometers away, when it hits, the power of the explosion can destroy everything around it. How does it compare to your cultivation magic?.”
Fairy Bai finally put away her underestimation, her face sprouting a sense of dignity: "Except for some of the great cultivators that are overwhelming, the rest of the middle and low cultivators are not an opponent against this kind of weapon, it is absolutely impossible for them to survive."
"What about you?" Jiang Qiao asked back curiously.
"If I had my cultivation base, it would not be too difficult to overturn it to the direction of the river and the sea."
It seems that the power of modern weapons is still lacking since an emperor cultivator could still destroy it.
"Then watch this video.” Jiang Qiao once more thoughtfully clicked on a video called "The Moment of a Mushroom Egg Explosion".
It starts with various mischievous missiles falling from the sky.
A weapon Introduction soon played; A little boy, born in Eagle sauce in 1945, weighs 4082 kg, is 3.05 meters tall, has a waist circumference of 0.711 meters, and has a temper of 15,000 tons of TNT.
At the moment of the explosion, an indescribable blazing light flooded the screen at once, and the huge force generated by the high temperature and high pressure slapped the ground.
The ground continued to vibrate, and the smoke and dust turned into a huge tsunami that swept in all directions. The original town and the surrounding thousands of square kilometers of territory were razed to the ground in an instant. The indescribable high temperature flame turned into a devastating storm to ignite everything.
The high-temperature and high-energy reaction spreaded rapidly, and even the crust was shaking violently, and the surface structure collapsed rapidly. Rocks turned into magma, steel melted into molten iron, and fragile creatures quickly gasified in an instant, turned into turbid dust, and turned into ash to dissipate.
Endless smoke rose rapidly, the high-temperature airflow continued to rise, the cold air sank, the rising dust column and the smoke cloud were connected, and the huge fireball eventually formed a tall mushroom-shaped smoke cloud that almost enveloped the sky for several kilometers.
On that day, the sun appeared at close range on the Yuanan River.
(T/L: Bombing of Chongqing, a descriptive of how powerful an atomic bomb is)
No other expression could be seen on Fairy Bai's face, Jiang Qiao soon said faintly, "This is a nuclear explosion. The temperature at the center of the explosion is as high as 6,000 degrees Celsius, which is comparable to the sun.”
“Humans can actually create such a terrifying lethal weapon." Bai Yueling took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Mhm, this bomb is only the least tempered one in the family. The biggest one is nearly 4,000 times more powerful." Jiang Qiao casually added.
So in the next blocks of time, Fairy Bai watched a series of bomb explosion scenes in a complicated mood, and the famous Tsar Bomba directly made her change the color on her expression.
(T/L: Tsar Bomba is the most powerful atomic bomb that continues to exist)
"So you can see, don't make any trouble. Just a single one of these nuclear bombs and a medium-sized country will be wiped out. With modern technology, it’s highly likely that it's possible to create even more powerful ones."
Fairy Bai solemnly nodded.
