    A unique concept born from a science and engineering mindset. Three "no's": no system, no cheat codes, no female lead. Three "don'ts": no saintly figures, no idiocy, no pretentiousness. Slightly slow at the beginning, but everyone says it's great later on, as shown in the image. Traditional Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels; cultivation can't rely solely on grave robbing, scientific innovation is the key. The protagonist transmigrates with five thousand years of Earth's resources, yet is merely a rogue cultivator in the border army, his cultivation resources almost entirely divided up by powerful families and ancient clans. No cultivation techniques, no spiritual veins, only the innate talents of the Chinese race: farming, starting from ordinary mortal lands; infrastructure, beginning in border towns and markets; education, starting with family private schools for basic literacy. Spiritual fields, spiritual wine, talismans, demon beast meat, the internet, supercomputers… Also known as "Infrastructure Maniac: Building Base Stations and Spiritual Realms in the Cultivation World."

    Reader note

    I sincerely recommend the two hard science fiction novellas, "Electronic Journey: Breaking the Cocoon" and "Electronic Journey: Rebirth," to fellow book lovers. The novels have a unique science fiction perspective and novel ideas. They tell a series of dramatic stories about the "utilization of micro-intelligent civilization" after humanity discovers a micro-intelligent civilization in the future. The author's work is conscientious, not a saccharine story, not a formulaic story, and not a work that follows the crowd. It is a work that was written with real care. The author just loves writing and wants to leave behind some good stories with thoughts and meaning. The novel has vivid descriptions, rich character emotions, grand story scenes, and a complete world view. The author's writing is very smooth and the logic is very rigorous. All science fiction elements are reasonable conjectures based on the development of science and technology and contradictions. (1) The novel puts forward the idea of "future macro- and micro-coexisting civilizations", which is a new way of thinking from a science fiction perspective. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planetary celestial system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and thinking about by science fiction fans. (3) The novel proposes that "the 'simultaneity' of time in the human world may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the long time scale of the microscopic world, is likely a collection of multiple states of events occurring in a linear sequence, and therefore superposition states do not exist." This view is worth considering and discussing. (4) The novel argues that "the electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively excited, but may also be actively escaped by life behavior." This view is worth considering and researching. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel's connotation is satirical towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and extremism that gets stuck on trivial matters are all objects of satire in the novel. (7) The novel advocates the supremacy of morality and the harmonious coexistence of all things. (8) The novel embodies a spirit of self-sacrifice with great love, a free and easy manifestation of great love. I sincerely recommend it to my fellow readers!

    8. I stayed up all night reading this "new type of satisfying novel," it was absolutely thirst-quenching! It was incredibly satisfying. While previous satisfying novels focused on the invincible martial arts, this one leans towards the literary aspect. It's especially enjoyable for those who don't understand programming, because even though they don't know it, the protagonist seems incredibly awesome. It mainly portrays invincibility in two ways: one is imaginable invincibility, and the other is invincibility that I could relate to. In the literary aspect, this invincibility is invincibility based on knowledge.
