183. Yin Wuyou wakes up and starts the monthly pass)
"Old Shi, Deputy Shi, relax."
Shi Songtao, who was constantly rubbing his hands with Zhou Shu, said, "It's just a qualifying match, why are you so nervous?"
"Qualification round?"
Shi Songtao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Zhou Shu meant.
This word is really apt.
But what happened to the qualifying rounds?
If they lose the qualifying round and are not even qualified to compete in the final competition, then won’t their mission be declared a failure?
Zhou Shu was not nervous at all. He walked forward slowly, and he still had time to watch the teams from other countries.
On the Wei side, as expected, Shen Yue was among the team that broke through.
In the team that broke through Daliang, Zhou Shu also saw an acquaintance, Han Dazhi, whom they had met on the road before.
Except for the teams from these two countries, the other countries all had new faces that Zhou Shu had never seen before.
He took a closer look at the teams that entered the level, and found that their configurations were basically the same as before Daxia.
There are five or six weapon masters, and three or four warriors. The warriors' cultivation level is generally between the fourth and fifth grades. The third grade is already a high-end match in some countries.
Like the Daxia Mission, one is of second grade and the other is of third grade, which is unique.
The team that broke through the border crossing was escorted by Wang Xin's army into Hangu Pass. After passing Hangu Pass, other members of the diplomatic missions from various countries would take other roads to the capital of Qin Dynasty.
When Zhou Shu dreamed of Wang Xin before, he already had a general understanding of the nine levels set up by the Qin Dynasty. The purpose of the nine levels set up by the Qin Dynasty was not to make things difficult for others.
But to filter.
Wang Xin was not a weapon maker, so he did not pay attention to the specific content of the nine-pass assessment, but during the exchange between him and his grandfather Wang Mu, Zhou Shu was able to guess it.
The test content of these nine levels of Da Qin must be related to the repair of the Da Qin Town Kingdom Cauldron.
"There are nine maps here, one for each team."
Wang Xin took everyone to a canyon and said, "Your mission is to rush to the various locations marked on the map and complete the corresponding tasks. Those who complete the task will advance to the next level. Those who fail can go directly to the capital."
Wang Xin asked people to distribute the map to everyone.
"Now, I announce the complete rules for the first level!"
Wang Xin raised his voice.
……
Just when Wang Xin announced the rules of the first level, thousands of miles away in the capital of Great Qin, in the Imperial Palace of Great Qin, Emperor Qin was standing on the highest building in the palace.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man in black.
"Xu Aiqing, do you think this method can really work?"
Emperor Qin said in a deep voice, his face was a little pale, as if he was seriously injured.
Emperor Qin, like Emperor Yuan of Great Xia, was a first-class martial artist.
In fact, the kings of all countries are in the same situation.
After they succeed to the throne, they will use secret methods to improve their cultivation to the first level.
Although there are some parallel imports of this level, the first level is still the first level. No one can hurt them at all, and the body of the first level martial arts can also make them full of energy when dealing with state affairs.
Different from Emperor Feng of Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Qin, a first-level martial artist, has water, but the water is not that big.
When Emperor Qin succeeded to the throne, he already had the level of a third-level martial arts master.
Therefore, in terms of true strength, Emperor Qin must be the strongest among the ten kings.
It can even be said that if the kings of the ten countries fight in person, Emperor Qin dares to say, I will fight nine!
This is not to mention that Emperor Qin was surrounded by numerous expert guards.
Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for such a person to be injured.
"Your Majesty, now we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."
The middle-aged man in black next to Emperor Qin smiled bitterly and said, "If we weren't afraid that the master forging weapons would see something, we would be more likely to succeed if we invited the masters forging weapons from all over the world to take action."
"Now we have broken down the steps involved in the restoration, and then covered them up and distributed them among nine levels. Even those who are interested will find it difficult to discover the secrets."
"If the elite weapon casters from various countries cannot solve these problems, then even if a master weapon caster is replaced, the result may not be much different."
The middle-aged man's face was full of bitterness. Da Qin also had many master craftsmen, but they tried their best and failed to solve the problem.
Now we can only hope that the talented weapon masters from various countries can live up to their reputation as geniuses.
"Let General Wang start preparing for war."
Emperor Qin coughed a few times and his palms were stained with blood. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If the Zhenguo tripod fails to be repaired, a war will be inevitable!"
The middle-aged man in black bowed and said, "I obey."
……
"There are thousands of materials for making weapons in this valley."
Wang Xin's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"This first level is for you to identify these soldier-making materials. As long as you identify them correctly, you can take away the soldier-making materials."
"The quantity of each type of weapon-making material is limited. The one who successfully identifies it first has the right to get it first."
"I can tell you now that the second level is to use the weapon-making materials you took away to forge the soldiers."
"There is no victory or defeat in the first level, but the more materials you get, the more advantage you will have later on. I wish you good luck."
After Wang Xin finished speaking, Da Qin's soldiers separated a road to reveal the scene in the valley.
I saw that the huge valley was filled with mountains of weapons-making materials.
In front of each pile of army-making materials, there is an official in black standing. He should be the official of the Qin State who is responsible for judging whether the people who break through the barrier have correctly identified them.
"Boom——"
Teams from various countries rushed forward one after another. The quantity of each type of weapon-making material was limited. It was first come, first served. Of course, you had to grab it. Although there was no victory or defeat in this first level, it was related to the outcome of the subsequent levels. How could we take it lightly! "Master Hou, let's act quickly."
Shi Songtao said anxiously.
Other countries have started to take action, but only Zhou Shu, still standing there, does not look anxious at all.
"Everyone, please split up."
As soon as Zhou Shu waved his hand, Shi Songtao rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Several other weapon-casting divisions also quickly joined in the process of scrambling for weapons-casting materials.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Zhou Shu, if we don't grab it, others will grab all the materials for making soldiers."
Yin Wuyou said softly.
Shi Songtao's armor-smiths rushed out, but Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan did not move.
They surrounded Zhou Shu. Even though there seemed to be no danger now, they were still on full alert.
As for Shi Songtao and those others, there is no need to protect them...
"They've finished robbing, then we'll go robbing them. The rules don't say you're not allowed to robbing other people."
Zhou Shu whispered.
Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang and others were all stunned. How could this be done?
But having said that, there seems to be no prohibition in the rules...
"Isn't this bad?"
Yin Wuyou hesitated, the eagerness in her eyes had given her away.
There was admiration in Chen Ji's eyes. Soldiers are crafty. Lord Marquis really has a wonderful mind. No wonder he can forge so many imaginative weapons.
Teams from all over the world have gone to fight for the materials to build weapons, but Wang Xin is still standing there.
Although Zhou Shu's voice was small, it could not be concealed.
Wang Xin, who is far away, has a high level of cultivation, so his ears can naturally hear Zhou Shu's words clearly.
A look of surprise flashed across his face, but his eyes were full of approval. This envoy of the Great Xia Mission is a bit like someone of my generation.
He said secretly.
Although he said that he could rob teams from other countries, Zhou Shu did not stand aside and enjoy the success.
He walked slowly to a pile of soldiers-making materials that were sparsely populated.
He picked up a brick-like soldier-making material and looked at it.
Some of the weapons-casting materials that Da Qin placed in this valley are the most primitive materials, while others are composite materials that have undergone preliminary processing.
To put it simply, some are pure iron and some are alloys...
It is very easy to identify a single weapon-casting material. Unless it is a particularly rare kind, it will not be difficult for the weapon-casting master.
Alloys are much more difficult. According to the rules of the Weapon Master, you must identify the components of the alloy and the proportion of the components before it can be identified.
This is a great test for the weapon-casting division's weapon-casting ability.
What Zhou Shu is holding now is a piece of alloy.
"Can you identify it?"
Yin Wuyou leaned close to Zhou Shu's ear and whispered.
"Can't recognize it."
Zhou Shu said very simply.
He threw the alloy brick away and continued walking forward.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang are both a little confused. Is he really planning to rob other countries' entry teams?
Isn’t it too hasty to say you can’t recognize it without looking carefully?
Zhou Shu continued to walk forward, and from time to time he would stop for a moment in front of a pile of soldier-making materials.
In front of each kind of weapon-making material, there is an official of the Qin State, who is responsible for judging whether the judgment of the intruders from various countries is correct.
Those who break through the level will write down their identification of the weapon-making materials on paper, and then hand it to the referee. After the referee determines that their answer is correct, they will be allowed to take away the corresponding weapon-making materials.
In a short period of time, those pure materials for forging weapons have been snatched up by intruders from all over the world.
Most of the alloy materials are still there, but it is very difficult to identify them.
Zhou Shu walked past several types of soldier-casting materials, but only paused for a moment, then threw the materials down, never picking up a pen to identify them.
Lu Wenshuang glanced at Yin Wuyou with some confusion.
Ask him with his eyes, what does he mean? He really can't recognize it?
Yin Wuyou answered with his eyes, "How is that possible? Zhou Su is the number one weapon-casting division in Daxia. He thinks it's too simple and boring!
Zhou Shu stopped and walked around the valley quickly.
He roughly counted some and found that there were indeed thousands of types of weapon-making materials in the valley, of which there were only two to three hundred types of pure weapon-making materials, not even one-third.
The rest are all kinds of composite weapon-casting materials.
There are also differences in the composite materials for casting weapons. Some are only composed of two or three materials, while others are composed of seven or eight materials.
What's more, there may be as many as ten types.
Of course, Zhou Shu was not saying that these composite weapon-casting materials were completely and incomprehensible.
But if he wants to identify it, it's not that simple.
Divine consciousness can indeed see through the internal context of composite materials, but it cannot distinguish the proportions of various materials.
If you want to identify it, you have to rely on other means.
Zhou Shu had previously crammed in the knowledge of forging soldiers, and later he transformed into Shi Songtao while dreaming. During that year, he also learned a lot of knowledge about forging soldiers.
Shi Songtao, not to mention other aspects, still has some real abilities in the art of casting soldiers, and he does work very hard.
Benefiting from these, Zhou Shu can actually be regarded as a qualified weapon maker even without the divine weapon atlas.
"Shi Songtao's basic skills are indeed solid."
While Zhou Shu was observing, Shi Songtao had successfully identified several types of weapons-making materials. He was carrying several large packages behind him and was still pushing forward to identify other materials for making weapons.
Like Shi Songtao, the other three weapon-casting divisions in the Great Xia invasion team were also the worst at identifying two types of weapon-casting materials.
Compared to the thousands of weapons-making materials in the valley, the total number of people in the Nine Kingdoms invasion team is only 81. One person can identify ten types, but they can't all identify them.
Therefore, what the Daxia team gained was just a drop in the bucket of materials for forging soldiers on site.
Those armorers seemed to have discovered this problem as well.
They no longer gathered together to fight, but each selected a target, and then began to decompose the composite weapon-casting materials.
No one knows what weapons they need to forge in the next level, so the more materials for forging weapons, the better, because they don’t know what materials they will use at that time.
It’s better to take more than nothing at all.
"Zhou Shu, we really-"
When Yin Wuyou saw that Zhou Shu still didn't make a move, he whispered again.
Although she also felt that what Zhou Shu said at the beginning was true, but if the robbery really happened, would it damage Daxia's reputation?
"What do you think?"
Zhou Shu was noncommittal.
Zhou Shu had a thoughtful look on his face. He was thinking about what the Qin Dynasty meant by setting up this level.
If he were from Da Qin, what would he do to repair the Zhenguo tripod?
Looking at the piles of weapons-making materials in front of him, an idea suddenly flashed in Zhou Shu's mind.
If you want to cast a high-quality weapon, materials, craftsmanship, shape, star position and star path are all indispensable.
This level is obviously related to materials!
If the Daqin Zhenguo Tripod is damaged, they will need to use the same materials to repair it.
In this way, Da Qin will know what material the Zhenguo tripod is made of.
Zhou Shu didn't know whose hand this Zhenguo tripod was originally made, and whether the secret recipe for their casting had been passed down. He could only assume that Da Qin did not have the secret recipe for the Zhenguo tripod.
In this way, if they want to repair the Zhenguo tripod, identifying its casting materials is the first step!
"If I were Da Qin, then I would mix the weapon-making materials from Zhenguo Ding into these weapon-making materials. If any weapon-casting master identifies them, then——"
Zhou Shu glanced at the piles of soldier-casting materials. So, which composite material is the casting material for the Zhenguo tripod?
Following this idea, Zhou Shu once again wandered among the weapon-making materials. This time, his expression became much more serious, and his attentive look made his whole person exude a special light.
