Tech-Cultivation: Quantifying Spiritual Energy

Chen Xuan, a third-year bioengineering major at Donghai University, is a research fanatic who once stayed awake for seventy consecutive hours on instant noodles and compressed biscuits, all in pursuit of deciphering the ultimate efficiency of mitochondrial ATP conversion. During an experiment, he observed a thirtyfold surge in ATP yield under an electromagnetic frequency of 1.21 GHz. When he connected himself to the experimental circuit, an unknown dormant structure within his body activated—his dantian became the core of a warp drive. On his screen appeared a string of mathematical formulas not of earthly origin. Three days later, a young woman named Su Muqing knocked on his lab door, carrying a five-hundred-year-old ancient text titled The Engineering of Creation. The symbols recorded in that book matched the formulas on his screen. "What they call cultivation is merely science written in a different language by ancient humans." And this world is far more than meets the eye. Between the mundane and the cultivation world lies a deliberately constructed informational barrier—spiritual energy is monopolized, and the truth is buried. "Data never lies." Chen Xuan opens his lab notebook and writes the first line—Experiment No. 001. Objective: use quantitative methods to deconstruct cultivation and establish a reproducible, standardized system. With science, he intends to overturn a lie that has endured for a thousand years.
