My Divine Diary

Muscle contraction was the muscle fiber’s mechanical response produced by receiving stimulation.

And Su Hao already understood the mechanics of muscle contraction. To simplify it, muscle contractions occur when the muscle is stimulated. After a series of reactions, the cross bridge and actin combined, twisted, separated, combined again, and then twisted again in the cross bridge cycle process.This muscle contraction process energy came from the hydrolysis of ATP.

Then what was ATP? It was adenosine triphosphate.

(TLN: Guess we learning biology. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.)

ATP was a key molecule for an organism’s energy conversion and transmission. An organism activities could not be separated from ATP. It was a molecule that could directly supply the cell with energy, and it could act as a “transit station” for intracellular energy conversion.

Then could the blood qi mentioned by father be ATP combined with some other substance? Whether it was or not, it had to be connected with ATP.

The other difficulty was, no matter what blood qi was, Su Hao could not directly observe its existence. So how did his father mean for him to find it?

Just like how a person could easily perceive their fingers, toes, ears, nose, etc. but they couldn’t perceive their internal organs. Not being able to perceive internal organs didn’t mean they didn’t exist. In the same vein of logic, Su Hao couldn’t perceive blood qi, but that didn’t mean blood qi didn’t exist.

So what father said about finding blood qi, in fact, didn’t mean he should actually use his consciousness to crawl around his body like a loach drilling through his body. Instead, he should have clear thoughts about the entire body’s energy cycle. It was like how our brains can’t directly perceive the existence of internal organs, but we can know where they are located, what they do, and their state.

That was to say, Su Hao only needed to figure out a way to create a recognition system for the blood qi in his body. This recognition system would need to include: where did blood qi come from, where is it, how much is there, how to use it, etc. As long as he could recognize any changes to his body’s state, that would be enough.

As time passed, the recognition system would become learned behavior, the brain would automatically optimize the model and allow a focused mind to feel a powerful blood qi energy throughout the body.

This kind of model may just be a trick of the mind, but the trick would allow a person to perceive their true state with incomparable precision.

Su Hao felt his blood boil in excitement and clenched his fist: “If it’s really this, then the people of this world are too amazing. The combination of psychology and biology allows a common man to obtain such powerful strength.”

“Then, how do I set up my own blood qi system?”

A light flashed through Su Hao’s eyes.

“Cosmic Light 2.2, it’s time for you to make your appearance.”

……

After understanding the principle, he no longer had to run. He entered the marble room and looked through his body’s log from the past month.

“Little Light!”

“Present!”

“Retrieve the detailed data on my body from last month until today, from 8am to 10am.”

“Retrieval complete.”

Very soon, an enormous amount of data appeared on the living room wall, densely packed and disorganized.

Su Hao continued to give directions: “Build a 3D model of the human body.”

The data on the wall disappeared. The living room’s sofa and coffee table also disappeared. Instead, they were replaced with the body of thirty boys neatly lined up in the middle of the living room. They had the face of Su Hao. He had summoned his bodies from the past 30 days. Each body included the information of the corresponding day from 8 to 10.

“Retrieve ATP data.”

The thirty bodies had their flesh and bones melt away, only leaving behind countless tiny lights that lit up the silhouettes. Through these lights, you clearly see the quantity and location of ATP in the body.

After observing a bit, Su Hao issued another direction: “Little Light, starting from 8am, play the animation. Time scale is 1:1.”

The thirty children silhouettes moved at the same time. Su Hao closely watched from the side.

When running, the muscles consumed a lot of ATP. After consuming a certain amount, the ATP from other locations were consumed. Once the body’s ATP reached a certain low point, Su Hao could no longer run.

After drinking the vegetable egg soup, Su Hao meditated and his digestive system operated at full power, the consumed ATP slowly recovered.

After three hours, Su Hao revealed a smile.

“Blood qi! I found you!”

ATP was not blood qi, but blood qi had to be related to ATP. Modeling an ATP system was equivalent to a model of blood qi.

Su Hao had confidence within half a month, he wouldn’t need to rely on Little Light and his own brain would be able to construct the blood qi’s model system.

At that time, he would truly be a martial artist that had grasped blood qi.

……

On the second day, once Su Hao returned from running and drank the vegetable egg soup, he sat down to meditate. It looked like he was doing everything as normal, but when he closed his eyes, Su Hao’s consciousness had already arrived at the marble room and had Little Light show him his body’s state and update it in real time. At the same time, he perceived his entire body’s state and contrasted it against the silhouette in the marble room and constructed a recognition system in his mind.

Not only that, as long as he didn’t sleep, he could continue to construct the system at any time anywhere.

After three days, Su Hao already no longer needed to constantly observe the silhouette in the marble room and could accurately recognize the changes in his body, thereby constructing a blood qi model system.

After another five days, Su Hao only need to contrast against the marble room’s silhouette in order to accurately reflect the body’s blood qi flow without much error.

After another five days, he completely no longer needed the silhouette. His mind’s recognition of the body’s blood qi changes had already reached approximately the same level as the marble room’s reflection.

Su Hao knew that he had successfully constructed a precise blood qi system within his mind.

After another two days and confirming there was nothing wrong with it, Su Hao went to find Wu Yuntian.

“Father, I’ve found blood qi.”

“Found it?” Wu Yuntian’s face was filled with disbelief. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Su Hao’s words, but rather he had never heard of anyone recognizing blood qi after only a month and a half. It was too startling. As far as he knew, the most genius human had taken a full half year of time to find blood qi.

Facing his father’s suspicious eyes, Su Hao affirmed: “I found it.”

“Impossible!” Wu Yuntian blurted out. That was his first reaction. After saying that, he hurriedly followed up with: “I was saying, there could be something wrong with your recognition. Carefully tell me about your recognition process. Many people will create hallucinations in the midst of finding blood qi, which is very normal. If you speak truthfully, I can help you differentiate.”

So Su Hao explained his body recognition and the blood qi change process, explaining every piece of the blood qi process to Wu Yuntian.

After he finished, Su Hao looked at at his father. His father’s jaw had dropped and his eyes were wide.

It was as if the words “does not compute” were written on his face.

If Su Hao could hear his father’s inner voice right now, he would know his father was roaring: “Where did this little monster come from? Is this thing really my son? Your old man told you to find blood qi, not to discover all of the blood qi in your body. That’s something only high level common warriors can do! You only needed to know there was this concept!”

Su Hao was bewildered: “What’s wrong father? Did I say anything wrong?”

Wu Yuntian indicated he didn’t want to talk.
