Chapter 139 It's a benefit to have a plan for the future and go back to the building
Chapter 139 I have plans for the future, and there are benefits to returning to the building
Jiang Xuan naturally didn't know about his great uncle's admiration for technology.
After getting into the car called by Stella, Jiang Xuan first chatted with him about the customs and customs of the French Republic, and then the conversation turned to technology:
"Pindao heard that your technology can already pose a threat to Xiantian Realm monks and Blood Exchange Realm warriors?"
Stella waved her hand and explained quickly:
"It can only pose a threat to the weakest of the extraordinary beings in the second realm of extraordinary beings."
"Practitioners of the second level of the Extraordinary Realm have indescribable predictability of crises. Ordinary firearms, ammunition or even malicious eyes aimed at them will make them alert."
"The technological weapons we have developed now are basically unable to pose a threat to practitioners in the second realm of the extraordinary. They can only deal with practitioners who have just entered the extraordinary realm."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"If guns and weapons can be equipped on a large scale to form a legion, ordinary Taoist cultivators and blood-changing warriors will inevitably fall prey to it."
After praising him, Jiang Xuan then said:
"Pindao is very interested in these so-called technological weapons. Please take Pindao over to have a look."
When Stella heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her eyes:
"Taoist priest, are you really interested in technology?"
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Of course it's true."
"If he wasn't interested, Pindao wouldn't come to this City of Ten Thousand Kingdoms."
"It's just that I don't know if today's technology can reach the level that Pindao imagined."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Stella suddenly became excited:
"Technology is a miracle that belongs to mortals. I think it will not let you down."
"Today's technology may be weak, but if you are willing to participate in scientific and technological research, I think you will be able to push science and technology forward in great strides."
Seeing Stella who suddenly became excited, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be speechless.
He just wanted to find a way to see the world's technological development and weapon strength, and whether the 'little boy' and 'fat man' had been researched, but he didn't really want to devote himself to science.
But feeling Stella's rising emotions, Jiang Xuan thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to cultivate immortality through technology.
If you don’t need to do research yourself, just fund it and let those in the west do the research.
Give elixirs and talismans to strengthen the physical fitness and thinking reactions of those scientists, so that they can be in a state of high-intensity scientific research 20 hours a day without harming their bodies.
After they produce the research results, wouldn’t it be enough to harvest the research results yourself?
As for how to materialize the results, Jiang Xuan suddenly had an idea.
Judging from the current situation, the world's technological level should be at the end of the first industrial revolution and is about to enter the second industrial revolution.
In addition to technological development, the second industrial revolution also required enough workers.
The Ming Dynasty had an advantage in this regard.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were so many evil spirits and ghosts living around, so they would be killed sooner or later.
But instead of killing them, it is better to capture them, tame them and throw them into the factory.
Others can use ghost objects to refine ghost pots, but it’s okay to catch ghosts yourself and go into a factory to tighten screws, right?
In addition to entering the factory to tighten screws, you can also let ghosts dig coal and mines, build bridges and pave roads, and let them atone for the sins they have committed.
It should be the punishment for those demons and monsters who do evil.
If you have never done any evil, you can go directly to the underworld.
In addition to catching ghosts as laborers, some heavily polluting industries can be moved to the west.
Pollution is turbidity, and when turbidity sinks, it will naturally produce evil spirits. If there are too many evil spirits, there will naturally be less spiritual energy.
The West is like this now, and if there are fewer spirits in the future, it will be even less likely to come up with any strong ones.
Jiang Xuan was constantly thinking, and the car sped along the road, arriving at a huge manor.
"Director, we are here. This is the external exhibition hall of the French Republic. It has all the military weapons and civilian electrical appliances currently used by France except ships."
As he spoke, he brought Jiang Xuan into a huge exhibition hall.
"Master Taoist, these are the most advanced weapons in France. They are also the most advanced among many countries in the West."
As he spoke, he pointed at a gray-black airplane with a propeller on the front:
"This is a Lightning fighter that can be operated by ordinary people and has a speed of 700 kilometers per hour,"
"Although the speed is far less than the flying speed of Taoist monks, we believe that the aircraft has extremely strong improvement potential."
"This is the Gray Fox tank, with a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 800 meters, and an armor thickness of 3 centimeters. For ordinary people, it is a killing machine on the battlefield."
"This is a Gatling gun. It can fire more than 1,000 rounds of bullets per minute, with a maximum range of 1,000 meters. When its firepower is fully activated, even the Blood Exchange Realm warriors cannot get close to it."
"This is a mother-child mine. The power of the explosion can even kill an unsuspecting Blood Exchange Realm warrior."
Listening to Stella introducing each weapon, Jiang Xuan also gained a deep understanding of the weapons of this era.
In the car before, Stella was completely humble.
After equipping the army with high-end weapons, the army will be able to defeat many practitioners of the second extraordinary realm, and even some martial arts cultivators of the third extraordinary realm will suffer losses if they are not careful.
As for the Taoist monks, they are not afraid of these modern weapons.
Daoji level monks can fly at speeds exceeding the speed of sound, can also use spells remotely, and have various spells to protect themselves.
These technological weapons cannot harm it at all.
As for the information about the 'little boy', Jiang Xuan didn't get it.
Maybe it wasn't made, maybe it was made, but it was kept secret.
With so many thoughts in his mind, Jiang Xuan then walked around the electrical appliances area.
Then he discovered that the civilian electrical appliances in this world were very close to those in the 1990s in the previous world.
Except for the fact that satellites cannot be sent up due to the strong winds outside, which has led to slow progress in radio, other civilian technologies are really not weak.
After wandering around the exhibition hall, and then going to the weapons testing ground under the leadership of Stella to see the actual combat power of various weapons, and then summoning Kang Jinlong to go up and take a few shots, Jiang Xuan had his own idea of how to proceed.
idea.
So after he came out of the weapons testing area, he directly asked Stella to take him to a small conference room.
He took out the Shenxiao jade token from his Dantian and knocked it. After the jade token turned into a protective shield covering the conference room, blocking outside prying eyes, Jiang Xuan turned his attention to Stella, who was sitting upright:
"I'm very interested in science, so let's talk about the next investment."
Looking at Stella whose eyes were shining, Jiang Xuan raised a finger first:
"But before we talk about investment, let me first talk about a few of my conditions."
"First, I can give you all the resources you need, but the scientists you are talking about have to move their families to Daming, and I will help them arrange their identities."
After speaking, Jiang Xuan stretched out his finger and said the second condition:
"Second, any technology developed is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders without my permission."
After saying that, looking at Stella whose enthusiasm was rapidly declining, Jiang Xuan continued to speak:
"Of course, since I have the conditions, I will naturally not miss out on your benefits."
"The first benefit is that when the researched technologies are used by the people, your French Republic will be the second country to be popularized. As for the first country, there is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty will be the first country."
"Second, you also have the right of first refusal when it comes to weapons."
"Third, if France encounters a crisis of national annihilation, I will, as appropriate, ask my masters to help you overcome the crisis."
"Fourth, some factories can be placed in France to increase the income of your people."
"Fifth, for every family of scientists sent to the Ming Dynasty, I will extend your life by one year, up to a hundred years."
"As long as you can recruit a thousand scientists for me, I don't mind making you an immortal god."
"Of course, the premise of both is that the scientists you recruit have real talents and knowledge."
"As for the scientists you recruited, as long as they do something practical, I don't mind helping them extend their lifespan."
Seeing that Stella's mood began to fluctuate violently again, Jiang Xuan took a sip of tea and spoke again:
"By the way, if you don't want to, I will find the person in charge of other countries. There are so many countries in the City of All Nations, and there should be someone who agrees to my conditions."
"Besides, I heard that the German Federation on the border of your country does not have a very good relationship with you."
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Stella's mood fluctuated even more.
It's just that this exaggerated mood swing only lasted for a moment.
After a moment, he collapsed on the chair, "Perhaps, in the future history of France, I will be the sinner of France."
Seeing Stara slumped on the chair muttering to herself, Jiang Xuan denied his statement:
"you are wrong."
"In the history of France, you will be the great man who leads them to heaven and the leader of France's rise."
"Those foolish people who oppose you will only become the dust of history, while you will become the uncrowned king of France and protect France for countless years."
At this point, Jiang Xuan laughed again, "If you work hard, I won't be able to make you the God of France."
"Don't you in the West believe in a god called God?"
"If you satisfy me, you will be the God of France."
He stood up and walked to Stella and patted his shoulder. Jiang Xuan then gave him a jade talisman used by the Shenxiao Sect to protect his life:
"Let's go, first go to the Foreign Affairs Academy to change your status to my follower, so that you can freely enter and exit the City of Nations."
"As for what means you plan to use to bring those scientists to Ming Dynasty, I don't care."
"Whether it's inducements, threats, or kidnappings, I don't care."
"I just want to see people."
"I understand, sir, and I will work hard to complete the task you asked."
Seeing that Stella had changed her name, Jiang Xuan just smiled and walked out of the conference room first.
After taking some time to turn Stella into his follower, Jiang Xuan then gave him a few more instructions and then rushed towards Qianxing Street.
I have the idea, but some things still need support from the sect.
Without the support of a sect, although I can do it by myself, the efficiency will be countless times lower.
Walking into Qianxing Street with a head full of mixed plans, Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered, and he came directly in front of Dai Jiuquan just like when he first entered the street.
Jiang Xuan, who had expected it, was not surprised when he saw this scene. After saluting Dai Jiuquan, he directly stated his purpose:
"Uncle Master, this disciple came here to ask for help from the mountain sect."
Old God Dai Jiuquan nodded thoughtfully:
"But it has something to do with foreigners?"
Jiang Xuan also nodded:
"My disciple went to the City of All Nations to visit the so-called technologies in foreign countries, and found that these technologies were all developed by some so-called scientists."
"So the disciple discussed with the foreign envoy and asked him to bring these scientists to the Ming Dynasty to work under the disciple."
Dai Jiuquan showed a hint of curiosity when he heard this, "Those scientists are the lifeblood of a foreign country, can they agree to send them over?"
"Lure them with benefits and force them with force."
When Dai Jiuquan heard this, he smiled and pointed at Jiang Xuan, "You kid."
"But it's a barbarian from a foreign race anyway. We are under pressure. What kind of help do you need from the sect?"
"I want my disciples to help me catch some ghosts who have done harm to the world, and then build a small city in the Cangwu Mountains to house those scientists."
"We may need some experimental materials and instruments in the future."
After hearing this, Dai Jiuquan did show a hint of confusion:
"I understand building a city deep in the mountains, and I understand the need for materials and so-called scientific instruments, but why do you want ghosts, especially those ghosts who have done harm to nature?"
"The disciple wants to give them a chance to atone for their sins."
Jiang Xuan was talking about Dayi Lingran:
"People cannot be resurrected after death. Those who are killed by ghosts are really dead and have no possibility of coming back to life."
"The disciple feels that killing those ghosts directly would be an advantage to them, and lighting sky lanterns would be too wasteful, so I think it is better to let them build bridges, pave roads, and dig coal and mines."
"You kid, how did you come up with this trick?"
Smiling and pointing at Jiang Xuan, Dai Jiuquan thought for a moment and then nodded, "Don't tell me, this idea is really feasible."
"Let's do this. The mission will be posted in the door. If you encounter ghosts that can harm people's lives, they will be caught and tamed first. Once they are tamed, they will be sent to you."
"It's just that there are too many ghosts and you can't control them. I'll catch you five thousand ghosts first to try the effect."
"If it works well, maybe this harmful ghost can really be used for good."
Jiang Xuan nodded, then said with a shy face, "Uncle Master, can you give me some more Five Rampant Soldiers?"
"The disciples are going to remove the spirit of the ghosts of the Five Rampant Earthly Ones, let them practice the power of the stars and transform them into the Five Rampant Heavenly Beings, and become heavenly soldiers, and then let the Five Rampant Heavenly Ones take care of those ghosts to prevent them from being lazy."
"It's just that now the disciple only has five Five Rampant soldiers, and the number seems to be a little less."
"By the way, the five Wu Mang soldiers under my disciple's command are all good Wu Mang soldiers and have never committed any crimes."
"You brat, you're really going to give me a hard time. How can you find so many good things for you to use in this troubled world?"
After scolding Jiang Xuan with a smile, Dai Jiuquan arrived again, "But I will instruct people to handle this matter, but it depends on your opportunity to ask for more money."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and swept Jiang Xuan out of Xingchen Street:
"Go and play by yourself, don't cause trouble for your uncle and me."
Listening to the voice transmission coming from far away, Jiang Xuan smiled, then rode on Yu Chi and rushed towards the Strange Object Building.
We have already seen Wanling City and Wanguo City, Tianjun City and Imperial City are not open to the public, Sheji Divine City is the territory of Tianshi Tao, Jiang Xuan is too lazy to make people tired.
So it's better to pick up the leaks.
After galloping all the way, it was already midnight when Jiang Xuan arrived in front of the Strange Objects Building.
Looking at the brightly lit Strange Objects Building in front of him, Jiang Xuan thought for a while and then went to the nearby inn to change into ordinary Taoist robes.
He didn't want to be treated like a pig butchered after entering, nor did he want the stall owners to be obedient when they saw him.
How boring would it be otherwise?
He will do things to pressure others, but it depends on the situation.
But what Jiang Xuan didn't expect was that when he changed his clothes and entered the rare objects building, before he had time to look at the so-called rare objects, someone noticed the little fox on his shoulder.
"Taoist Priest, do you want to sell this white fox on your shoulder? I am willing to pay five million Ming Dynasty treasure notes to buy it."
Following the voice, his eyes fell on a scholar wearing white Confucian uniform. Feeling the unabashed elegance on his body, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "You have good taste."
"But Jiehu doesn't sell it."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan didn't wait for the scholar to speak again and started walking around in the Qiwu Building.
As the name suggests, all the items sold in the Strange Object Building are rare items. Whether they are real items depends on your eyesight.
If you feel that your eyesight is not good enough, you can go to the Treasure Building, which is similar to the Qiwu Building.
Zhenbaolou sells all treasures. If you buy a fake Zhenbaolou, you will get ten percent for every fake one, but the price of the corresponding treasures in Zhenbaolou is also outrageous.
As for this strange object building, there are nine floors in total, all of which have been expanded by space-type magical powers and formations.
From the outside, the Qiwu Building is just a nine-story building covering an area of 1,000 square meters. But after entering the gate, you will find that the first floor of the Qiwu Building is more than 10,000 meters deep?
The nine-story wonder building has temporary stalls on the lower three floors.
Depending on the location of the stall, the stall fee starts from 1,000 per day and can go up to tens of millions.
The middle and third floors are shops. The shops collect and sell things, similar to a pawn shop.
As for the upper three floors, it is the auction house.
The auction house on the seventh floor opens every six months, the eighth floor opens every three years, and the ninth floor opens every ten years.
As for Jiang Xuan, he was prepared to look at it layer by layer.
Anyway, with "Eye Technique" here, there is almost no chance of getting punched in the eye.
Holding the plump little fox in his arms, the scholar who had just been rejected came to Jiang Xuan again before taking two steps:
"Taoist Master, do you think the price is too low?"
"If the Taoist priest feels that the price is too low, I am willing to add another two million yuan."
He stopped and turned around to look at the scholar who seemed destined to win. After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Xuan asked:
"Are you a scholar?"
After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the scholar in Confucian robes had a proud look on his face:
"I'm not talented, Yang Wendeng, Duke of Yang, just joined Tiandi Academy this year."
"Since you are a scholar, you should know the saying don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, right?"
"I don't want to sell, but you insist on buying. What if this matter is put on you?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around him, and then countless whispers sounded:
"That's right, if someone insists on buying even if they don't want to sell, isn't this force buying and selling?"
"If you're still a scholar, just ask him if he's a scholar and just say yes or no. Isn't self-reporting your own school simply a way of overpowering others?"
"Words and deeds are inconsistent. There are so many scholars who learn one thing and practice another. So what if they can be admitted to Tiandi Academy? There are so many literary cultivators who are stuck in the literary realm."
