At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the gospel?
Zhou Jue copied these two sentences, hung them in front of him, and thought about them all night.
It wasn't until the rising sun penetrated Zhou Jue's eyes that Zhou Jue suddenly woke up and found that he had stood in front of these two sentences all night long.
Suddenly, Zhou Jue burst out laughing, and his voice echoed over Zhang's house.
"I understand, I understand!" Zhou Jue's temperament gradually changed. Although this sentence did not give Zhou Jue an epiphany, it also helped Zhou Jue solve many problems and troubles.
"If there is a problem, we should take the initiative to solve it instead of waiting passively."
Zhou Jue came out of the room and saw Zhang Shengde holding his hands from a distance: "Congratulations."
Zhou Jue returned the favor: "Good morning, Uncle Zhang. Thanks to Zhang Hao, you woke me up with just one sentence. Where is Zhang Hao?"
Although Zhou Jue's cultivation is in the middle stage of Yuanying and Zhang Shengde is in the early stage of Yuanying, because Zhou Jue has always been friends with Zhang Hao, when he meets Zhang Shengde, he has to call him "uncle" instead of "fellow Taoist".
Zhang Shengde smiled bitterly: "That kid is still sleeping in."
"Ah..." Zhou Jue was a little stunned. The cultivator is still sleeping in? Are you kidding me?
Just as he was talking, Zhang Hao opened the door and yawned: "What do you call it so early in the morning? You don't want to let anyone sleep. Don't you know I just fell asleep at midnight last night!"
Zhou Jue said with a black line: "Brother, if you meditate for half an hour, you will regain your energy!"
"But it's so comfortable to sleep in."
"..." I thought you were pretty good just now, but after a lazy sleep, my understanding of you went back to its original state.
Zhang Hao rubbed his eyes vigorously, yawned and said, "Brother, I would like to invite you to attend the Xuantie Factory meeting later as a guest. Is it convenient?"
"Okay!" Zhou Jue agreed immediately! He was hesitant to speak just now, but after last night's conversation, he was very interested in the Xuantie Factory that the Zhang family was going to build.
…………
Liu Jingming, Ouyang Si, Li Yousheng, Feng Tai and others also arrived one after another, and everyone gathered in the lobby of the Zhang family.
But the person sitting in the lecture position today is not Zhang Shengde, but Zhang Hao.
Although the people from the Xuantie Guild were a little surprised, they quickly accepted it. Zhang Hao has performed well since the establishment of the Xuantie Guild.
Liu Jingming and Ouyang Si were a little surprised. With so many people present, a young man actually gave the lecture?
As for Zhang Hao, he opened his mouth with a shocking statement: "Everyone, the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Taihua once again sent troops from the north and the south at the same time, making the Kingdom of Jinyang difficult to cope with.
Now, the eastern defense line of the Kingdom of Jinyang has been lost, and the eastern part of the Kingdom of Jinyang has fallen.
And Anqing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang, is also in danger."
Everyone was silent for a moment, really shocked by the news.
The six western countries have been fighting against the east all year round. Of course they understand what the fall of Jinyang means: the six western countries are in danger!
Ouyang Si was the first to speak: "Zhang Hao, where did you get this news? Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Hao turned to look at Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue stood up and introduced himself: "Zhou Jue, the eldest disciple of the Jiuyang Sect, his monastic name is Yun Juezi, and his father is Zhou Shuhai of Xinglin Hall."
"Gudu..." He swallowed his saliva first to suppress his shock. He didn't expect such a guest to appear.
Liu Jingming had seen Zhou Jue a long time ago, but he didn't know why Zhou Jue came today and didn't say anything. Only now did Liu Jingming have a guess.
Just listen to Zhou Jue continue to say: "The information about the Kingdom of Jinyang was brought by me, and it is the information channel of Jiuyang Sect. I can guarantee that it is true. And this is the news from a day ago."
Everyone immediately murmured, and they were all dizzy by the news.
"Quiet!" Zhang Hao shouted, "Everyone, the reason why we are gathered here is to solve these problems."
Zhang Hao's words made even Ouyang Si and Liu Jingming curious. How do you solve it?
Just listen to Zhang Hao continue: "If we want to win the war, we must develop our own advantages. What are our advantages?
It’s Xuantie!
The East has monopolized trade routes, leaving us with a shortage of elixirs.
But we have black iron, countless high-quality black iron! If we can bring out the power of black iron, we will have a body made of black iron, and it will be an indestructible body!"
"Ahem..." Ouyang Si interrupted Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, what you said makes sense, but black iron is not a unique resource in the West, and there are many in the East. The advantages of black iron you mentioned,
What is meant?"
"War weapon! And, machinery!"
With that said, Zhang Hao clapped his hands, and immediately a guard came in dragging the Zhang family's Cloud-Piercing Crossbow. After optimization, the current Cloud-Piercing Crossbow was much smaller, but its power was not reduced but increased.
Zhang Hao pointed at the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow: "This is called the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow. Its power is enough to kill a dragon at the height of a hundred feet, which is at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Zhou Jue can testify to this."
Zhou Jue nodded to everyone.
Zhang Hao continued: "We have matured the technology for making the Cloud Crossbow, and it is relatively simple; only the arrow part needs special treatment, but there is no need to use strange fire, etc. The cultivator's real fire is enough.
A cloud-piercing crossbow requires 400 kilograms of thick iron and 200 kilograms of dark iron. But its power is enough to penetrate the masters of the Golden Core stage and affect the masters of the Nascent Soul stage.
A golden elixir stage requires more than ten years, or even decades of cultivation.
But the Zhang family can make three to five cloud-piercing crossbows and thousands of arrows every day.
Suppose one day in the future, we fight against the Eastern Army, and thousands of arrows are fired, think about what it will be like?"
"War can't be calculated like that!" Ouyang Si retorted directly, "A dragon is a dragon, it's a monster. A cultivator in the golden elixir stage comes and goes like the wind, has rich combat experience, and is protected by armor, talismans, and other seals. If you want to shoot
It is very difficult to kill masters in the golden elixir stage.
Moreover, the crossbow bed is bulky and prone to damage.
Moreover, in large-scale wars, there are battle formations, which can greatly weaken the threat of crossbow arrows."
Zhang Hao responded tit-for-tat: "What Uncle Ouyang said makes sense. But the crossbow bed only needs an adult to operate it! If we produce tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, we can completely snipe the enemy's legions while taking defense.
Besides, it’s not like we don’t have the Golden Core Stage here.
My adoptive father once said that our Western tactics are to use masters to hold back the enemy's masters and let soldiers rely on war weapons to win.
If every three or five soldiers can operate one crossbow bed, it will cause a fatal blow to the enemy."
Ouyang Si frowned: "War is not as simple as you think."
"There is not only one way to use black iron. We can also produce large quantities of war instruments and large quantities of armor.
In the past, because high-end dark iron was not produced in large quantities and was expensive, a suit of magic weapon-level armor would cost more than a hundred high-grade spiritual stones at worst, which was unaffordable for many cultivators.
Even the country can only equip soldiers with one shield.
If the production of black iron increases and the price is greatly reduced, we can put magic weapon-level armor on every soldier in the foundation-building period! This will increase their combat effectiveness several times!"
Ouyang Si still has questions: "But it is very difficult to produce magic armor. The difficulty and requirements of the armor are almost a hundred times more than that of the flying sword!"
"Then what if the Zhang family has a way to increase the production speed of magic weapons by more than a hundred times?"
"What? Impossible!" Liu Jingming and Ouyang Si exclaimed at the same time. Zhou Jue opened his mouth in surprise.
