第400章 输在起跑线上

"Cough, this is purely my personal suggestion. As for whether to offer new subjects? Which subjects to offer? When to pilot? When to promote to various colleges? This cannot be completed in just a few sentences. Moreover,
Although it is my professional obligation to suggest the establishment of new foundational disciplines in each institution, personally, I hope that decision-makers reject this proposal. As it would clearly increase my workload.
This time the laughter was even louder. "Take it easy. Next is epidemiology. An epidemic refers to a disease that affects a large population within a certain period of time [1]. Typically, epidemics are infectious diseases. Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of health and diseases in human populations, and it explores the factors that influence health and disease based on differences in distribution among populations [2]. It can generally be divided into three types: microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses. I will continue to use the example of 'Devouring' Virus. Although it is called a virus, it has been proven to be a type of microorganism. One of its influencing factors is 'Qi'. Therefore, it can only spread among practitioners who cultivate Qi. So, practitioners of Qi cultivation can be the scope of transmission and distribution of the 'Devouring' Virus. Of course, there are many other influencing factors, such as temperature, humidity, oxygen content, and so on. Once we identify the cause, we have a direction; once we clarify the influencing factors, we know where to break through and overcome."
Service, to target and prevent diseases." "The next one is nutrition. Nutrition is a discipline that studies the relationship between nutrition and our bodies. Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with the word 'nutrition', but I believe everyone cares about it to some extent, although not very consciously. For example, everyone knows that magic food is beneficial to the human body compared to ordinary food, especially for practitioners. So as long as they have the means, they will basically choose to buy magic food for their children and practitioners to eat. In other words, we can say that magic food is more nutritious than ordinary food. However, the effects of the same magic food vary greatly for different people. Why is that? How can we improve it? This is what we need to research."
Regarding the topic of nutrition and the study of nutrition.
At this moment, a hand slowly raised, capturing the attention of the entire room.
"Professor Huo Mai..." Yun Tai raised his hand to signal the teacher to ask a question. "President Yun, according to what you just said, the role of nutrition is similar to that of pharmacology. For example, we can completely rely on taking elixirs to achieve the effect of enhancing physical fitness. So why is nutrition regarded as a separate discipline?
"
Medicine can make your skin strong and your bones sturdy, but it cannot strengthen your internal organs. If there was another elixir to strengthen the internal organs, what about the eyes? And the tongue?
A few scattered laughter can be heard from the audience.
"Copper eyes and iron tongue."
"No no no, the person above once said that the hardest thing in the world is diamond, with a hardness of 10, surpassing any metal." This time Yuntai not only did not stop, but instead became more interested and said a few more words: "There is no need for such complications. The hardness of iron is actually very low, only 4, and copper is even lower, only 3. It would be better to directly cover it with ice. Perhaps someone will argue that ice is fragile. That can only mean they have luckily encountered a mage who is not skilled in magic cultivation. The typical hardness of solidified ice is usually only 2-3, but currently it is estimated that its hardness can reach around 8. This hardness is correlated with..."
It is temperature-related, so for now we can only provide a relative estimation. So, Ice mages, now that you have a clear training goal, are you excited?"
The envoy of the Polar Ice Country lowered his head and wrote quickly with his pen. This is about the new benchmark for improving ice-based cultivation! Speaking of external conditions, is there any country on the Great Continent better suited for ice-based cultivation than them? "Alright, let's get back to the topic. Let's continue talking about nutrition. Nutrition emphasizes providing for the overall needs of living beings. But can this provision be comprehensive? I can tell you for certain, it's impossible. Because each person is an independent individual in the world, just like how there are no completely identical leaves in the world. Moreover, everyone's cultivation direction is different, so their needs naturally differ. Don't think that nutrition is not important and that the demand for ordinary food is not that important as long as you can cultivate to a high level. Maybe this is true, but the premise is that you can cultivate to a high level. Let's not talk about the comprehension of advanced cultivators for now and talk about those middle and beginner cultivators who can advance through pill refinement. Why do they fail to advance? There are many reasons. The most frequently mentioned one is a lack of solid foundation or insufficient talent. Talent is innate and cannot be forced. But when it comes to the foundation, Translation:
We can still strive and make efforts. Here I refer to it as nutritional balance. If you cultivate in a certain aspect, you should supplement with corresponding foods and elixirs. This is a completely wrong concept.
"Just like consumable pills can guarantee a hundred percent advancement." someone argued. "Then why isn't it popularized? Elders usually advise younger generations to rely on their own strength for advancement and only resort to taking advancement pills when necessary. Why do most cultivators, after advancing, also receive advice to stabilize their cultivation and not rush into further advancement? If we compare cultivators to a Tekwa plant (a plant that looks like a gourd), the thick membrane in the middle represents the bottleneck you need to breakthrough for advancement. When you advance, the pressure is on the entire Tekwa plant, not just the middle layer. So when the barrier is broken, your Qi and magic elements move to the upper layer, reducing the pressure abruptly. It's a dual test. Therefore, it's important to stabilize your cultivation after advancement."
It is not only about supplementing spiritual energy or magical elements, but also a process of overall repair and adjustment. Is my explanation clear to you all?" This time, almost everyone had a serious expression. After advancing, one cannot immediately advance again; it requires a period of stabilization, or else it would cause harm to the body which is not worth the gain. For practitioners, this can be considered a common
It is a well-known anecdote, but no one has ever explained why. "This can also explain why the Advanced Level Pill is much more precious than the Qi Gathering Pill. Because it not only increases fighting energy or magic elements, but also nourishes the body to some extent, replenishing it with
Nutrition enhances the body's ability to withstand pressure."
"Well, that's only possible with the help of elixirs," someone mumbled triumphantly. "If that's what you believe, then your descendants will lag behind from the starting line."
