Chapter 55: The Second Kind of Immortal Qi Research
Nangong Zhi walked into the secret research base of the Kingdom of Shaoze. This research base is underground and is fortified at every level. Unless more than a dozen divine transformation stages attack at the same time, it will be impregnable. Nangong Zhi himself has also tried to attack, and it is almost impossible to shake it.
Every cent.
A large amount of black iron from the Kingdom of Shaoze was used to build this secret research base. Many technologies of the Ocean Group are being studied here, as well as the technical system of traditional cultivation.
BOC Yue took Nangong Zhi around the research base and began to introduce:
"This is a black iron research base. Our main purpose is to study black iron with a purity of more than 98%. Although Dayang Group has disclosed the production technology of black iron with a purity of 98% and below, this technology cannot reach more than 98%. 98.1%
Difficult to reach.
We are working on higher purity black iron.
The higher the purity of black iron, the better its performance and the stronger its plasticity. Especially when the purity exceeds 99%, it can be used to make spiritual weapons.
In the past, spiritual weapons were very precious because the spiritual materials that could be used to make them were very rare. Most of them were very small amounts of natural, high-purity spiritual materials such as fine gold or were easily purified.
But now the cost of spiritual weapons has been reduced several times, and the reason is that Dayang Group produces more than 99% of black iron in large quantities and sells it to the public."
Nangong Zhi nodded slowly: "Have you ever researched the secrets of Dayang Group?"
Bank of China shook its head, but nodded again: "We were not able to study Dayang Group's technology, because the cost price of the technology we used was almost the same as Dayang Group's selling price. Obviously, there is something in it that we have not fully understood.
But we have also developed our own high-purity black iron technology.
We crush 98% of the black iron in an environment that is isolated from spiritual energy, reheat it, turn it into rust, and then repeat the previous process.
After four purifications, the purity can reach more than 99%.
At present, the technology has been initially finalized. If the factory is produced, it is expected that after completion, it will be able to produce one thousand tons of 99% dark iron per year. Based on the calculation that a spiritual weapon-level flying sword requires 5 kilograms of dark iron, one thousand tons will be enough to make it.
200,000 flying swords, Lingbao level flying swords, enough for all soldiers above the golden elixir level to have one each.
In addition, if Xuantie is mass-produced, the cost can be reduced to 80% of the price of Dayang Group."
Nangong Zhi nodded, "It's already very good. It's cheaper than Dayang Group's, and you control your own destiny. You've done a good job."
The blade of a flying sword generally weighs between two and three kilograms, but there is loss during the forging process, and the loss is often as high as more than 50%. Sometimes the loss of a good sword is as high as 90% after repeated folding and forging.
(Note)
The requirements for Lingbao are very high, and a flying sword is about the same at five kilograms.
Bank of China Yue continued to move forward with Nangong Zhi, but the next target was the steam turbine research base.
Bank of China Yue explained: "According to my research, Dayang Group has two cornerstones, one is black iron and steel, and the other is steam turbines.
We still have no clue about steel technology, so we can only put it on hold for the time being. The research on black iron has achieved initial results, and the next focus is to conquer steam turbines.
I have seen research from other countries and even holy places. They only focused on black iron but ignored this seemingly useless steam turbine.
In fact, black iron and steam turbines are the two legs of industry, and one is indispensable.
Black iron is the body, and the steam turbine is the power, which can replace the power of human and animal power. It is a completely artificial power, especially the steam turbine can be driven by cheap oil, which is unmatched by traditional formations.
The steel battleship is the best product of this technology. In addition, there are trains and so on."
Nangong Zhi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Then continue to keep this research project."
"Yes." BOC Yue took Nangong Zhi to visit the steam turbine research base. The machine tools here were all purchased from Dayang Group. Even many of the researchers here came from the 'Xuantie Factory' assisted by Dayang Group.
Taken away.
At the beginning, Dayang Group promised Nangong Zhi to build a turnkey Xuantie production factory, which also included worker training. Nangong Zhi took the opportunity to stuff a lot of Jindan-level 'apprentices' into it. Dayang Group didn't care either.
Now many of these 'Golden Core Apprentices' have been transferred to the research base.
Nangong Zhi looked at the research on steam turbines. There were steam turbines purchased from Dayang Group next to them. When he compared them with the steam turbines produced by himself, he always felt that there was an indescribable awkwardness. The machines of Dayang Group have a strange mechanical beauty!
Bank of China Yue explained: "Dayang Group's steam turbines and even their warship designs obviously use a technology that is unknown to the outside world. However, Dayang Group still made a miscalculation.
Youdao is a book that has been read a hundred times and its meaning is self-evident. We studied many technologies of Dayang Group in detail and found a problem, that is, air flow and water flow. The turbine blades and propellers produced by Dayang Group can smooth the air flow and water flow.
passed, but ours couldn't.
But now that we have found the problem, I believe it won’t take long before we can make a breakthrough.”
Nangong Zhi was very satisfied and praised everyone on the spot. But what about rewards? The rewards must be unified after calculating the merit. Nangong Zhi is a qualified ruler, and he knows clearly that rewards cannot be given randomly.
After coming out of the steam turbine research base, Nangong Zhi visited petroleum research, artillery and explosives research, machine tool structure research, formation research, etc., and finally arrived at the core research base.
This is a recently opened research base, but the research is filled with crazy fairy energy!
With the popularization of ideas in industry and research, it was not only Dayang Group who thought of studying the spirit of immortality, but others also thought of it. For example, Nangong Zhi.
Cultivators are not rigid. On the contrary, many cultivators actively think about changes. It’s just that there was no new direction of change in the past.
Zhongxingyue continued to explain: "Because of the prevalence of the round earth theory, we have an idea. If the earth is round, then the underground pressure must be very high, higher than imagined.
Last month, I took a few Nascent Soul Peaks to dig underground. At Paoma Mountain in Jiangdong area, I dug down to a depth of almost ten kilometers and dug out an underground lake. The temperature there was much higher and the water pressure was also very high.
Based on the known circumstances, it is speculated that the pressure deep in the earth will be greater and the temperature higher. Therefore, fairy energy can be produced by accident.
After we come back, we will have people start experimenting. Under high pressure and high temperature, we will compress the spiritual energy."
"What was the result?"
"For the time being, we have only found that spiritual energy that has been treated with high temperature and high pressure is particularly active. The spiritual energy in the spiritual stone no longer requires a spirit gathering array. It can be absorbed directly after such treatment. The spiritual energy is comparable to the environment of a holy land.
More are still under research.
But I believe that as technology advances and as the pressure increases, we will definitely be able to study the secret of fairy energy!"
Nangong Zhi nodded. Although Zhong Xingyue is only at the peak of Nascent Soul, he is different from other peaks because... Zhong Xingyue has been exposed to the spirit of the fairy, but failed and failed to enter the stage of transformation. But at least Zhong Xingyue has been exposed to it.
The spirit of the fairy knows what it is.
Just as he was talking, Zhongxing Yue and Nangong Zhi entered the research base. As soon as they entered the gate, Nangong Zhi couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. The spiritual energy here is very active, and Nangong Zhi feels that this spiritual energy is also a little bit good for the transformation stage.
The effect of practice.
This is commendable. You must know that ordinary spiritual energy has little effect on the transformation stage, which is why Fu Yun's cultivation regressed in the first place.
After taking a few deep breaths, Nangong Zhi smiled with satisfaction, "The result is good! This way we can build a holy place for practice.
Using the spirit gathering array to gather spiritual energy is very inefficient, and the utilization rate of spiritual stones cannot even reach one-tenth. If you do this, can you use it 100%?"
Zhongxing Yue said: "Because it needs to be heated and pressurized, part of the spiritual energy needs to be consumed. The overall efficiency is about 60%. However, if fuel turbine technology is used in the future, the efficiency of the spiritual stone will be improved a lot."
Then the two people stopped next to a huge 'compression cylinder'. This compression cylinder was more than three meters in diameter, which was one foot in diameter, and about two feet in height. There was a compression bolt on it that was two feet long and about six feet in diameter.
.
This set of equipment is processed with great precision, and densely packed arrays are engraved on it, including sealing and preventing the leakage of spiritual energy.
At this time, a new experiment is underway.
Those involved in the operation are all masters at the peak of Nascent Soul. They all hope that the research on fairy energy will achieve results. Therefore, everyone works very hard and is meticulous.
(Note: You can refer to the forging of Japanese samurai swords. One ton of grass iron can only forge four to five exquisite samurai swords. The blade of a samurai sword is calculated as 1.2 kilograms, and the loss rate is calculated as five knives.
