As the freshmen were picked up by their respective student unions one after another, the plaza that was bustling just now quickly became deserted, leaving only Li Yao and seven or eight freshmen. ◎
Except for Li Yao, everyone was frowning and sighing—they were all new students in the Artifact Refining Department.
"Hey, everyone has settled down, and we are the only ones left. The Artifact Refining Department is indeed the most trashy major in the Great Desolate War Academy. Look, connecting new students is half a beat slower than others. Up to now, no one has Appear!"
A chubby boy with dark skin curled his lips and smiled wryly.
His name is Huang Tong, and he has a very outgoing personality. He quickly connected the atmosphere and made the brothers and sisters get acquainted.
After everyone finished introducing each other's names and hometowns, Li Yao finally couldn't help himself and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart:
"Brothers, why are you all so depressed? Although the Artifact Refining Department is not very good, it is the 'Ninth University' after all. No matter how bad it is, you can always find a job after graduation. As for making you feel so uncomfortable? "
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other, and they all looked at Li Yao with very strange eyes.
Li Yao was so stared at by them, he said in a daze, "Did I say something wrong?"
Huang Tong laughed strangely:
"It seems that Li Yao must not have had a good understanding of the major of the Artifact Refining Department of the Great Wilderness War Academy before filling out the application form."
Li Yao frowned:
"I really haven't had a deep understanding of it. I only know that it is one of the worst majors in the 'Ninth University'. So what? At most, it is just a lower level of teaching. As long as we work hard enough, we may not be unable to succeed. As the saying goes Master leads the door, practice is up to everyone!"
Huang Tong let out a long sigh and said:
"I know that you must not have a deep understanding of it. Otherwise, with your identity as the number one student in the municipal college entrance examination, how could you step into this quagmire?"
"Mire? I don't understand!"
"Let me tell you, student Li Yao, the biggest problem with the Artifact Refining Department of the Great Wilderness War Academy is not that the teaching level is too low, but that the idea of artifact refining here is fundamentally different from the mainstream in the artisan circle, and belongs to 'non-mainstream'. "
"If you use the words of the ancient cultivation world 40,000 years ago—in the eyes of mainstream craftsmen, the crafts department of the Great Wilderness War Institute is heresy!"
"Heretician - so serious?" Li Yao was taken aback.
Huang Tong nodded and said: "It's more serious than you imagined, and it can even rise to the level of a 'dispute for the Great Dao'!"
"The struggle for the Great Dao?" Li Yao frowned, and Ding Yin also said the same thing, which seemed to be true.
He remembered that on the Liaoyuan, he once encountered a conflict between a professor of Xingyun University and a teacher of the First Federation Military Academy.
In order to argue about the "essence of psychic power", the two had a "big fight", and they almost had to "go out and do one".
If it wasn't for the large crowd and the many onlookers, maybe the two would really fight. Killed.
Zheng Dongming also explained to Li Yao that a "cultivator" is a "person who pursues the truth", and every cultivator is extremely stubborn about the ideas he upholds.
No matter how mild-tempered a cultivator is, once he encounters a "dispute for the great way", he will show his sharpness and will not compromise until he completely kills the "truth" believed by the enemy.
"Truth" is the foundation of cultivators, and the "battle of the Dao" is the biggest battle for cultivators. Even more serious than the war with demons and ghosts, there is no room for relaxation.
"Is there such a big difference between the 'truth' believed by the Artifact Refining Department of the Great Wilderness War Academy and the mainstream ideas? How can it rise to the level of 'the battle for the great way'?"
Li Yao really didn't understand.
Huang Tong coughed dryly. explained:
"The so-called 'Controversy of the Great Dao' refers to the debate between the elite faction and the grassroots faction."
"The mainstream refining theory represented by Deep Sea University advocates the elite route. The more complicated the design of the magic weapon, the tighter the structure, the stronger the power, the better!"
"As for the high cost of refining the magic weapon. The structure is too complicated to cause a high failure rate, and at the same time, the conditions for equipping the magic weapon are becoming more and more stringent... These problems are minor problems in the mainstream theory of refining weapons, and they are irrelevant."
"According to this concept, it is the high-level cultivator who decides the outcome of the war. Therefore, it is necessary to refine a powerful high-level magic weapon at all costs for use by the strong at the alchemy stage and the Nascent Soul boss. Some ordinary magic weapons are used by cultivators in the foundation establishment period."
"As for the practitioners and ordinary soldiers in the Qi refining period, they can't control the overall situation, so it's not worth spending more time, and it's not the focus of the refiner's attention."
"This is a common view in the circle of refiners, and most schools and sects of refiners think so."
"And our school's Artifact Refining Department is probably the only exception, because our school has risen from the grassroots, so we pay special attention to the combat effectiveness of low-level practitioners and ordinary soldiers."
"In the grassroots school's idea of refining weapons, it is not the high-level practitioners who decide the outcome of a war. On the contrary, the low-level practitioners and ordinary soldiers who are crowded with people are the key."
"As long as tens of thousands of practitioners and ordinary soldiers in the Qi refining period are equipped with suitable magic weapons, the ants will kill elephants, and even Nascent Soul monsters will still be crushed under the impact of tens of thousands of Qi refining period practitioners. Turn into meat paste!"
"From this point of view, the criterion for determining the quality of a magic weapon is obviously not power."
"Low cost, simple structure, stable performance, not easy to damage, or easy to repair after damage, using ordinary raw materials instead of natural treasures, can be refined in large quantities on the assembly line, and anyone can quickly learn to use... Possessing these advantages is the real magic weapon!"
"You see, the magic weapon refining concepts of the elite faction and the grassroots faction are diametrically opposed, which is the most typical 'battle of the great way'."
"Right now, the elite faction is the mainstream in the circle. 90% of the refiners belong to the elite faction. They regard the grassroots faction as ignorant barbarians, and even joke that the magic weapons refined by the grassroots faction are fire sticks and iron lumps. It’s not really a magic weapon at all.”
"The leader of the Grassroots Sect is our department head, Professor Mo Xuan. He almost single-handedly carried the banner of the entire Grassroots Sect. Years have not wavered, so in the circle of refiners, there is the nickname of 'crazy'."
"The mainstream craftsman circle looks down on the students of 'Mo Crazy'. It is almost impossible for us to find a good job in the mainstream craftsman circle after graduation, and the big sects ranked in the top 500 of the federation will not recruit the Great Desolate War Academy As graduates of the Artifact Refining Department, we can only go to some small and medium-sized sects, or the grassroots units in the military, to engage in the simplest basic artifact refining work, and the future is very bleak."
"The above. It's the 'Controversy of the Great Dao' in the circle of refining masters. Anyone who has a deep understanding of it will not apply for the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy."
"Take me as an example. I never dreamed of studying the Department of Artifact Refining. My first choice was the direction of swordsmanship in the Department of Fighting. However, I chose to 'obey the assignment', but the score was not enough to become a swordsman. He was transferred to the refining department!"
"I really didn't want to come, but I have already repeated for two years. I really don't want to repeat for the third year. It would be too embarrassing to be a 'sixth student', right? I had no choice but to hold my nose."
Huang Tong's words aroused the sympathy of all the freshmen, and everyone shouted in unison.
"Me too, me too. I didn't even think about studying the ghost refining department. My dad forced me to come here. It's the 'Ninth University' anyway, and it's very prestigious to say it!"
"Who would be willing to learn the grassroots refining technique? I've thought about it a long time ago. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will change departments. Not to mention the four major majors, any major is better than going crazy with 'Crazy Mo'! "
"It's the same, brothers, let's work hard together. Try to change departments as soon as possible!"
Seeing Li Yao's thoughtful appearance, Huang Tong thought he was worried about his future, so he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Student Li Yao, what do you have to worry about? Your strength is so strong, the Iron Fist Association and the Chaos Blade Hall have invited you just now. You can change departments in minutes, no matter how bad the refining department is, it has nothing to do with you .”
Li Yao pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said:
"Thank you for your introduction, Huang Tong, but I don't plan to change departments. On the contrary, after listening to your introduction, I think it's really correct to choose the Artifact Refining Department of the Great Wilderness War Academy - the idea of artifact refining here is very suitable for me. my appetite."
All the students were dumbfounded, as if they were looking at a monster.
Huang Tong said in amazement: "Could it be that you, like 'Crazy Mo', insist on the grass-roots school's idea of refining weapons?"
"Yes." Li Yao admitted frankly.
After devouring a large number of Ou Yezi's memory fragments, Li Yao's understanding of weapon refining has also unknowingly been contaminated with the style of the ancient Xiu era 40,000 years ago.
In the era of ancient repairs, there were not so many complicated magic weapons, such as the "Taiyi Lei Magnetic Cannon", which required hundreds of thousands of components to be refined, did not exist at all.
Even if it is a magical weapon capable of beheading monsters, it is composed of hundreds of components at most.
So Li Yao naturally admired the simple and direct idea of refining weapons, and was somewhat resistant to extremely complicated and sophisticated magic weapons.
more importantly…
Li Yao vaguely remembered that in a strange dream a long time ago, in his previous life, there were two super hegemons, who started from two different design concepts and produced two completely different styles of weapons that were equally tyrannical. !
One is "Su-style"!
One is "German style"!
German-style weapons, like elite weapons, have complex and precise structures, high manufacturing costs, complicated production processes, and extremely high requirements for operators.
Of course, the power is also extremely powerful.
The Soviet-style weapons, like grassroots magic weapons, are specially made for crowd tactics. They don't demand power, but simple and reliable structures, and low manufacturing costs. They can be mass-produced in the simplest workshops, allowing illiterate ordinary people Women are using it immediately.
Relying on powerful German-style weapons, the previous super-hegemony once swept across the world, devouring half of the civilized world, and achieved brilliant victories one after another at the tactical level.
But on a strategic level...
Soviet-style weapons with simple structure, low cost, and easy operation, poured out continuously from the crude factory workshops, and assembled into an overwhelming steel army. Under the operation of the soldiers, they forcibly withstood the rampage of German weapons and the most elite soldiers, and finally even pushed back, smashing all those German weapons that were so exquisite that they could be called works of art.
The motherland of Li Yao's previous life has brought the essence of the Soviet style to the limit. The weapons produced are extremely cheap and ugly in appearance. They are almost filthy, but the fighting power displayed on the battlefield can be called "deranged." "!" (Please search Piaotian Literature, better update faster!
