(A little late, but it’s just a 5,000-word chapter.)
In front of the Xuanming Sect's main hall, Nangong Zhi and Mo Wentian stood side by side, watching the battle ahead.
In front, Bai Feiying, the chief disciple of the Xuanming Sect, was fighting with Wei Qishan, who was beside Nangong Zhi. Both of them had just entered the stage of becoming gods.
However, Bai Feiying actually had the upper hand!
Wei Qishan himself fought hard on the battlefield, and his close combat ability far exceeded that of Bai Feiying. On the contrary, as the eldest disciple of the leader, Bai Feiying had relatively few fighting opportunities and spent most of his time assisting his master in managing the sect.
Also, Wei Qishan's current training, etc., seems to be more suitable for close combat. During close combat, the resistance is fierce and there is no time to prepare spells and so on.
However, seeing the fierce battle ahead, Mo Wentian and other senior officials of the Xuanming Sect expressed satisfaction. Although Nangong Zhiye said that it was not yet sure whether this method of transforming into gods had any hidden dangers, but the combat effectiveness was that of a complete transforming into gods.
But Mo Wentian still had doubts in his heart, "General Nangong, I'm still a little confused. With the current situation in Shaoze Country, you can definitely find other sects to cooperate. Why did you choose us?"
Nangong Zhi looked at the battle ahead with a deep look in his eyes, "Headmaster Mo, who do you think is more suitable for us to choose?
Xuanzhen Sect is angry with me and the Kingdom of Shaoze because of the death of Hong Yazi. In addition, Xuanzhen Sect has Dayang Group, what can we gain by getting together?
If we unite with the Xiaoyao Sect or the Xianyin Sect, once it is exposed, the Xuanzhen Sect will definitely kill them. Both the Xianyin Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect will be beyond their reach. After all, the current Shaoze Kingdom is completely within the influence of the Xuanzhen Sect.
Inside.
Then there is West Kunlun in Kunlun Continent further to the east. This choice seems good, at least it is so far away, and there is no conflict between West Kunlun and Xuanzhen Sect; but West Kunlun is too far, and the cooperation between West Kunlun and Dayang Group has already begun.
In addition, the Mingjiao, Red Lotus Sect, etc. all cooperate with the Dayang Group. Of course it is feasible for us to join forces, but can we compete with the Dayang Group? Even if we can, we will still have a head-on conflict with the Dayang Group.
We are not afraid of Dayang Group, but we still need to avoid direct conflict.
The leader may not believe it, but we really don’t want to have a head-on conflict with Dayang Group right now. Or rather, we ‘don’t dare’.
Although Dayang Group is just a business group, the current Dayang Group... must be treated as a commercial power, and it is also a business power that controls core technologies!
Direct confrontation with the Dayang Group will not do any good for us now. The current Shaoze Kingdom has some foundations, but in fact many of its foundations are closely related to the Dayang Group.
Let me give you a few examples. Among our current steel production technologies, pressure gauges, thermometers, etc. are all produced by Dayang Group. What we produce ourselves cannot meet the accuracy of Dayang Group.
The highest purity of black iron we can produce barely reaches 98%, and the technology used is still disclosed by Dayang Group.
We still don’t know how to produce more than 98% black iron. Therefore, our steel purity is also stuck at the 98% threshold.
98% black iron is different from 99%. 99% can refine spiritual weapons, while 98% can only refine magic weapons.
At present, if we want to obtain more than 98% of black iron, we can still only rely on forging and refining with different fires. The output is very low, and the cost price is actually higher than the price of Dayang Group.
The machine tools we use to process artillery shells, especially the machine tools for fuze structures, are owned by Dayang Group.
We have also recently introduced a gun production line. The rifling of the gun bores needs to be done by our machine tools, but also by Dayang Group's machine tools.
Recently, we also want to produce Hunyuan fine gold and issue banknotes. But the cost of the Hunyuan fine gold we produce is horribly high."
Having said this, Nangong Zhi paused for a moment, "Master Mo, don't underestimate the Ocean Group. The Holy Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect have been fighting for hundreds of years with no outcome, but just because of the emergence of the Ocean Group, the Holy Fire Sect can now be said to be the winner.
on one's last legs."
Mo Wentian was silent. Some things are 'terrible to think about carefully', and Dayang Group is like this.
Nangong Zhi continued: "After much calculation, the only choice for Shaoze's country is the Xuanming Sect. Of course, we should be able to help in times of need. Okay, I forgot, there seems to be no snow here in the Xuanming Sect.
"
"Ha... I still know this idiom. Also, I believe there is another important reason you didn't mention. Because, the country of Shaoze actually has another choice, which is to tolerate development and stand still.
And there must be another important reason that prompted you to make this choice."
Nangong Zhi smiled, "Yes! Another reason is the history of Xuanming Sect!
I remember that in history, to be precise, about 50,000 years ago, the world of spiritual practice was not called "cultivation". At that time, it was called spiritual practice. But there were two branches:
One is the current cultivation, taking the path of the Golden Pill Nascent Soul; cultivating the ‘true self’.
There is another one who is called a Qi Refiner. He is following the golden elixir path and cultivating the ‘golden body’!
To be more specific, cultivation is all about pursuing the dual cultivation of "nature and life", but cultivation emphasizes "nature" and refining qi emphasizes "ming". Both of them start with qi refining, but they begin to diverge after the foundation building period.
But fifty thousand years ago, cultivators suddenly found the way to become gods, which ultimately led to the decline of Qi cultivators.
According to historical records, before the Nascent Soul stage, it was relatively easy for Qi Refiners to break through, mainly because they did not need broken pills to transform into infants. Moreover, Qi Refiners were more powerful in melee combat. They only declined because they failed to find the threshold to the Divine Transformation Stage.
.
But our new method of accelerating ripening during the transformation stage seems to be... following the path of a Qi practitioner.
As far as I know, the history of the Xuanming Sect is said to be more than 60,000 years old. There should be information about the Qi practitioners from that time, right? How about we study new techniques together?
You provide the techniques and materials, and we provide the methods to transcend the divine transformation stage. Both parties will jointly establish a research institution!"
Everyone is a smart person, and all the necessary negotiations have ended. At this time, Nangong Zhi became a "happy person".
Nangong Zhi was so cheerful that Mo Wentian was too embarrassed to laugh. He said without hesitation: "The Xuanming Sect really has a lot of information in this area. It includes a variety of complete Qi Refiner cultivation methods. Even we have been
Neither of them gave up their research on Qi Refiners.
In fact, in the practice of demonic cultivation, the method of breaking through the divine transformation stage has the shadow of the Qi Refiner!"
The cooperation between the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Xuanming Sect can be called "the man's love and his concubine's intention". Coupled with the strong external pressure, the Xuanming Sect did not show pretentiousness and immediately promised to open the information of all Qi Refiners to the Kingdom of Shaoze.
You can come and copy.
Nangong Zhi also said on behalf of the Kingdom of Shaoze: You guys are preparing for the peak of Nascent Soul, and we will 'ripen it' when we get back.
Nascent Soul Peak is not a big deal either. The Xuanming Sect has brought out 112 people. This is the vast majority of the Xuanming Sect. Only a few important personnel and those who are sure of conventional breakthroughs have not moved for the time being.
In addition, Nangong Zhi personally went to the Xuanming Sect's library, borrowed people from the Xuanming Sect, and copied all the approved books and materials. Nangongzhi and others personally checked to ensure that all the materials were correct.
Early the next morning, Nangong Zhi was ready to take people away, including the 112 Nascent Soul peak members from the Xuanming Sect.
Before leaving, Mo Wentian asked again: "General Nangong, I'm afraid we can't hide the large-scale transaction between us from Dayang Group, right?"
"Why hide it!" A smile flashed across Nangong Zhi's face, "When the Xuanming Sect and Xiaoyao Sect were fighting, Dayang Group sold arms to both sides, and it became an open secret. This time, we can also sell arms.
ah.
It’s all in Das Kapital. Capital must circulate, and commodities must also circulate! This Das Kapital is made public by Dayang Group, unless Dayang Group itself slaps it in the face!
And based on my understanding of Zhang Hao, I'm afraid he would like to see a situation like this: no matter what the world is like, it will not affect the operation of capital. Because capital is one of the foundations of Dayang Group!"
After saying that, Nangong Zhi turned around gracefully and left with everyone.
After waiting for Nangong Zhi and others to disappear, Mo Wentian's expression gradually darkened, and the smile on his face was like a watercolor painting on a glass plate, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Next to him, the great elder finally couldn't help it anymore: "Do you believe in Nangong Zhi like this?"
"Do we still have a choice?" Mo Wentian's tone became more gloomy, "Nangong Zhi came here at this time and came in person. Although it is a sign of sincerity, it is not a form of taking advantage of others!
Under normal circumstances, who is Nangong Zhi?"
Mo Wentian held back his anger, but what could he do? Nangong Zhi saw this opportunity and came here. To be more precise, Nangong Zhi came here for the information about the Qi Refiner.
As for the Xuanming Sect, there is no room for choice, or even no room for rejection. Although Nangong Zhi always speaks softly and straightforwardly, there is a premise: the Xuanming Sect has been forced into a corner by Dayang Group, and only Nangong Zhi and Shao
The Kingdom of Ze can relieve the Xuanming Sect of death!
Not only that, Nangong Zhi and the Kingdom of Shaoze really provided help in times of need. Even though Mo Wentian wished to stab Nangong Zhi right now, this friendship in times of need must be remembered!
This is the general trend! The negotiation between Nangong Zhi and Mo Wentian is also a promise between kings.
As the head coach, Mo Wentian would like to thank Nangong Zhi for being a good friend who helped him in times of need.
But as an individual, Mo Wentian gritted his teeth with hatred. This is a bastard who took advantage of others!
As for Nangong Zhi, Nangong Zhi took people all the way back to the seaside, and then returned on the Black Iron Battleship.
The current Shaoze Kingdom has also purchased steel battleship technology from Dayang Group. However, because Nangong Zhi wants to hide the steel technology, he has only built black iron battleships for the time being. In this regard, the battleship's power system, steam turbine, etc., are still purchased from Dayang Group
purchased.
The current Shaoze Country is no less difficult than the Dayang Group when it just started.
The Xuanzhen Sect has objections to the Kingdom of Shaoze, which has become a hidden danger to the development of the Kingdom of Shaoze. Especially since the Kingdom of Shaoze is now a bit large, this also makes the Xuanzhen Sect a little uneasy.
Nangong Zhi had a feeling very early on: the disintegration of the Shaoze Kingdom was ultimately due to the conspiracy of the Xuanzhen Sect; because the Shaoze Kingdom a few decades ago was too powerful.
However, the now reunified Shaoze Kingdom seems to be on the old path again. Even the Xuanzhen Sect has a clear handle. Of course, because many countries such as Dayang Group speak for the Shaoze Kingdom, the Xuanzhen Sect does not dare to be too presumptuous now.
, this gives the country of Shaoze a little chance to breathe.
But on the other hand, the vigorous development of Dayang Group and the Kingdom of Qixia, and the beginning of a new era of great navigation, also gave Nangong Zhi a sense of crisis. A new era has begun.
Therefore, Nangong Zhi must seize the time and opportunity to struggle.
…………
Nangong Zhi's actions didn't conceal much. It can't be said to be aboveboard, or it can be said to be undisguised. After Zhang Hao learned about Nangong Zhi's actions, he frowned a little, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter.
Because he didn’t know that Nangong Zhi was already in the artificial god stage, and he didn’t know that Nangong Zhi had mastered steel technology, although Zhang Hao had considered it, it was not comprehensive enough after all.
Moreover, in Zhang Hao's view, the influence of the Kingdom of Shaoze is limited. You must know that the Xuanming Sect is now facing an encirclement and suppression by the entire Tuotu Continent. No matter how hard you struggle, it will be useless. At least that's the normal situation.
In short, Zhang Hao put the Kingdom of Shaoze aside after a moment of consideration and continued to implement the current plan. He would use the Xuanming Sect to establish its authority no matter what.
As for the specific attack time, the countdown has begun. Now we are waiting for the Red Lotus Sect, Demon Sect, Wusheng Tianluo Sect, etc. to be ready.
For a time, the Fertile Continent had just emerged from the shadow of war, and the Taotu Continent fell into the shadow of war again. And the scale this time was probably twice that of the previous war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect.
At this time, the matter has not yet been fully disclosed, but people who are well-informed are already starting to get nervous and excited.
A continental melee is about to break out. This is an opportunity! The best opportunity for capital to rise!
Under the influence of Capital, many differences have already begun to emerge before this war has even begun.
…………
When a large-scale war began to brew on land, fierce battles also ushered in on the sea!
On this morning, Dugu Junjie was cruising on the sea with more than 400 gods and four 'Qinglang class' warships.
In order to deal with enemies that may appear at any time, the battleships are always running so that they can explode with full force at any time.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than five days. This morning, Lan Yunbo, who went to high-altitude surveillance, landed excitedly. He waved his telescope and danced excitedly: "I saw it, I saw it, there are reinforcements. Two airships."
But the distance is too far, even with the help of a telescope I can only see a blur of light spots. This is thanks to the reflection of the rising sun."
Someone next to me laughed and said, "You're not mistaking a flying bird for a flying boat, are you?"
Lan Yunbo rolled his eyes: "It's at least a hundred kilometers away, and it's the size of a lotus seed. Have you ever seen such a huge bird? And the flight path is straight."
Dugu Junjie smiled, the transformation stage is not an old thing, everyone has a lot of fun when they get together.
Speaking of which, in the past, people in the Transformation Stage rarely got together, and even if they did meet, most of the time there was something to fight for. Therefore, everyone always thought that the masters in the Transformation Stage were serious old antiques.
But this time, everyone fought side by side because of the common ideal, and at this time, the real temperament was released. There were fun, noisy, bragging, and even gambling.
But soon everyone became serious because there was going to be a battle soon.
The battleship began to adjust its direction, and then began to sail toward the east. The airship also flew from west to east.
Dugu Junjie did not ask the battleship to "face it head-on" because in that case, the attack time would be very short.
According to the interrogation, the maximum flight speed of the airship is around 800 kilometers per hour. This is the best condition and it is the best airship; but if it is worse, the speed of 500 to 600 kilometers per hour is no problem.
The Blue Wolf-class battleship can reach a maximum speed of 500 kilometers, but it can only maintain it for a short time, about half an hour.
If they fly relative to each other, the accurate attack distance of the naval gun is 18 kilometers. If the two sail relative to each other, it only takes 50 to 60 seconds to miss the 18 kilometers distance; and at this time, the Ocean Group's fleet is in the best condition.
It can only be fired five or six times.
Maybe even because time was too tight, the two sides had already passed each other before the shells were ready.
But if they are sailing in the same direction, even if the opponent's flying speed is 800 kilometers, the attack will start from a distance of 18 kilometers, and when it finally exceeds the 18 kilometers range, the warship will have at least 7 minutes to attack!
An attack time of seven minutes is more reliable and should be able to completely hit the enemy's flying boat.
In addition, there is another consideration, that is, the component that the flying boat can affect the fairy mountain barrier seems to be in front of the flying boat. If it is attacked from the front, it is very likely to damage this component.
The battleship was quickly adjusted. After about ten minutes, the two spaceships could be seen with the naked eye. There were people on them.
The battleship began to accelerate and seemed to be escaping.
According to the plan, one of the flying boats must be killed by surprise first, and then the gods will swarm up to seize the remaining flying boats and kill the enemy.
At this time, on the flying boat, a guardian of the Zhenwu Sect, who was also returning to fetch reinforcements, saw the battleship. He shouted: "There are four iron ships, they seem to be running away! Chase them and kill them! This is our enemy.
!”
When everyone heard this, they saw two "iron ships" on the sea that seemed to be "escaping", and everyone immediately became interested. They clamored to go over and sink the two iron ships.
As for Dugu Junjie, there was no cover-up at all. The battleship's 'escape' on the sea was very majestic. The trajectory behind the battleship was more than two thousand meters long. The unique arrow-shaped waves formed by the battleship's advance spread out for five or six kilometers.
This is clearly visible from high altitude.
Under the command of Dugu Junjie, the battleship seemed to keep trying to turn, and as a result, the airship also tried to turn in the sky. Although the battleship was bulky, the airship turned even more cumbersome in the air. Unknowingly, the airship slowed down.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Dugu Junjie's mouth. Things went smoothly beyond imagination. The other party was not in a hurry to support the front, but came to pursue him. This is great, come on, now start to taste the warm welcome from the world of Kuo Dixiang!
The dark barrel is like the eyes of death, staring at the sky!
