Zhu Changyang entered the workshop, called up the [Library] function, and found various information and drawings related to the power plant.
While he was looking up information, he took out the advanced refining textbook that Ji Jin Sect gave him.
The Ji Jin Sect is worthy of being called the University of Science and Technology of the cultivation world. Its textbooks are much more professional than the general versions sold on the market, and they also have many unique secret methods.
In addition, Sikouluo also provides remote answering services through Yudie.
To round it off, Zhu Changyang has obtained the internal online courses of a top-notch academy in the world of cultivation, and the courses are taught by academicians themselves.
The specifications are extremely high.
It is not easy to set up a power plant in the world of cultivation. The power generation and transmission equipment are easy to build, but the subsequent management and maintenance requires a lot of effort.
The main reason was that the basic subjects in this world were different from those in modern times, and there was no compulsory education to train a large number of science and engineering talents. Many craftsmen were not even literate.
It is not impossible to build a factory completely with modern ideas, but first we have to train talents, and this cycle is really too long.
Therefore, Zhu Changyang decided to make some adjustments in practical operations and integrate the cultivation techniques into the machines, methods and technologies.
This has another advantage: the things made will have a certain magic resistance and will not be easily destroyed.
These days, those cultivators are all walking outside the rules of the mortal realm, so we have to be on guard against this group of people.
At the same time, construction work on Fubiao Mountain is also in full swing.
The construction of the power plant is progressing steadily. Although the basic science of the cultivation world is a little lacking, it also has its natural advantages.
For example, opening a mountain and breaking the ground is the most time-consuming and laborious task, but Zhu Changyang has Jun Shu as his cheat, and with one slash of his Pi Shui sword, he can directly flatten half of the mountain.
Spiritual materials such as wind-fixing wood can be used on the foundation, and magic arrays can be integrated into the architectural design, and so on.
Baigongmen also allocated some disciples to assist in the construction. With the help of the monks, the efficiency increased rapidly.
Zhu Changyang saw one of the disciples using spiritual fire to burn bricks. He could burn a pile of bricks in just a quarter of an hour, which was an astonishing speed.
Zhu Changyang was amazed and said, "Brother, how about I teach you how to burn cement?"
The disciple was puzzled: "What is cement?"
Zhu Changyang simply summarized it: "It is a kind of mud that becomes as hard as stone when water is added."
The disciple exclaimed, "Ah!" "You mean Sanhetu?"
The so-called "three-in-one soil" is a building gel material composed of lime, clay and fine sand. After solidification, it has high strength and waterproof properties. In fact, it is the prototype of cement.
The level of ancient Chinese architecture was very advanced. As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they began to use "three-in-one soil". Some craftsmen would add glutinous rice soup, tung oil, blood and other organic substances to change its properties.
Zhu Changyang said: "Almost the same, it can be considered an improved version."
The disciple: “Oh.”
It was when Zhu Changyang was patrolling the mountains that he discovered a lot of limestone and clay, and then he suddenly thought of burning some cement.
The raw materials of modern cement and "cement" are similar, the main difference lies in the precise ratio and calcination temperature.
Zhu Changyang chopped some limestone, crushed it and mixed it with clay, iron ore powder, etc. in proportion and ground it into raw material, and then calcined it at a high temperature of between 1300 and 1500 degrees to make clinker. A small amount of limestone and other mixed materials can also be added when grinding the clinker.
After the firing was completed, Zhu Changyang demonstrated the use of cement to several disciples of Baigongmen.
Several disciples were immediately amazed. This "cement" material was similar to mortar, but after the masters adjusted the proportions and firing methods, the effect was immediately significantly improved.
Jie Li was watching from the side, and his mind suddenly became active. He rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, if this cement is sold to the mortal realm, it will definitely be very popular."
Mortals' skills are weak, and they cannot afford the luxury of using large amounts of spiritual materials in construction like immortals do. This cement is definitely a great blessing for them.
"Sure." Zhu Changyang glanced at him and said with a smile, "After the power plant is built, we can build a small cement plant next to it."
Jie Li's heart surged, and he patted his chest: "Master, don't worry, I promise it will sell well."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
He was just afraid that Pinxi would accidentally place too many orders.
With cement, construction speed is faster, but Zhu Changyang still feels a serious labor shortage.
Construction work can borrow the manpower of Baigongmen, but the subsequent management and maintenance work cannot always use dispatched workers.
It's time to train some professional talents.
It just so happened that Baigongmen was recruiting new members again this year, so Zhu Changyang decided to ask Chang Fengchi to help with the promotion.
Chang Fengchi naturally agreed and asked, "What do you want to name your sect?"
In his opinion, Zhu Changyang now has a mountain, skills, disciples, and even a complete spiritual pet. Although small, it has all the necessary parts. This is definitely a complete sect.
Zhu Changyang was thinking what sect it was, it was just a small technical school, and joked, "What do you think of Beida Jade Bird?"
It is a perfect match for Lanxiang from Baigongmen.
Chang Fengchi was confused: "I can understand Bluebird, but what does Peking University mean?"
Zhu Changyang laughed and said, "I'm kidding. Just say the factory is recruiting apprentices."
Chang Fengchi: "Ah, isn't it a little too plain..."
Jun Shu was stroking the cat at the side and suddenly said, "Let's call him Industrial Sect."
Zhu Changyang was silent for a moment, then wrinkled his nose and said, "What an ugly name."
Studio:
[How dare Zhu Changyang complain about the Industrial Sect? Isn't it better than Beida Jade Bird? ]
[Come on, these two guys are the same. ]
[The Rocket Couple even have the same bad taste in naming, what a perfect match! ]
Chang Fengchi pondered for a moment and said, "I think this suggestion from brother Jun is a good one. The outside world calls you industrial pioneers. Once the name of the Industrial Sect is spread, everyone will know who the sect is."
Zhu Changyang: "That's not necessary..."
Jun suddenly glanced at him and had a sudden idea: "Why not call it the Zhujun Sect, so that we can know it is your and my sect!"
Chang Fengchi:
The more Jun Shu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good, and he started to develop it with great interest: "There is also the Chang Shu Sect, the Shu Yang Sect, or just the Jun Shu and Chang Yang Sect!"
Chang Fengchi:
Zhu Changyang was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "I think the Industrial Sect is pretty good, so let's call it the Industrial Sect."
Chang Fengchi nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, it's settled."
"Isn't it too hasty?" Jun Shu was a little annoyed, "I think we should reconsider the Zhujun Sect."
The developer waved his paw in approval: "Meow meow meow!"
Zhu Changyang held down the cat's paw and smiled, "Don't be careless. The name Industrial Sect sounds better the more I hear it. You are really good at naming!"
Jun Shu was coaxed into feeling happy: "Okay."
.
In the past, due to its limited reputation, Baigongmen only recruited new members in Changpingjing and Buchendi areas, but they were often ignored.
After thinking about it, Zhu Changyang decided to write letters to several friends in the cultivation world, including Hua Guangbai, Jiang Hui, and Nan Rongbo, asking them to help post recruitment information in major cities such as Cangbo City, Gongyu City, and Yanyu City.
Because the skills practiced by these sects were different from those of the Baigong Sect and their enrollment directions were also different, several people readily agreed.
This wave of publicity was indeed effective. On the registration day, a long line formed outside Baigong before dawn.
Everyone in the sect was very happy. You know, when they were recruiting new members last year, they didn't even have the full quota.
In addition to the hot registration, there are also many good seedlings this year, and many medium and upper-level spiritual roots have been tested.
Although it cannot compare with first-class colleges such as Jijinzong and Yongzhoutian, compared with previous years, it can be regarded as a vocational school upgraded to an undergraduate school.
Zhu Changyang's Industrial Sect's enrollment point was located right next to the Baigong Sect. With Master Zhu's reputation known, quite a few people signed up, but the quality of the students was far inferior to that of the Baigong Sect.
This is impossible, after all, the foundation is too shallow. The current staff size of the entire sect is only three people and one cat.
Although the masters are famous in the Nine Realms, most of them are in the field of industrial products and are not proficient in immortal magic.
For those with better spiritual roots, the first choice would definitely be a regular immortal sect.
Only those with inferior spiritual roots and no chance of attaining the Great Dao would come to Zhu Changyang to try their luck.
By evening, when the sun was setting in the west, Baigongmen had finally completed the registration of all the applicants, and there were actually hundreds of people in total.
Chang Fengchi went to inquire about Zhu Changyang's enrollment situation. After looking at the records, he saw that there were more than a hundred people, but they were all of low-grade spiritual roots. He couldn't help but feel worried for him: "Brother Zhu, do you want to recruit another round? Make the introduction of your sect more impressive..."
"No need, just try these first." Zhu Changyang didn't care at all. He was recruiting technicians, not apprentices.
Compared with spiritual roots, he values students' interest and basic knowledge in handicraft skills more.
"Those people are really short-sighted." Jun Shu glanced at Chang Fengchi unhappily, "Why don't you let those few people with top-grade spiritual roots you collected today switch to our Industrial Sect!"
Chang Fengchi: “…”
Brother Jun, why are you always so confident when you say this
The key is that there is really an inexplicable sense of oppression!
Zhu Changyang was sweating profusely and pulled Jun Shu: "Don't be like this, be polite to your good friends."
Chang Fengchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Zhu Changyang continue to say, "Anyway, if we don't have enough manpower, we can borrow from Baigongmen. Once you join their sect, you will have to work for us in the future."
Jun Shu: "Hey, that makes sense."
Chang Fengchi: “…”
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhu Changyang called out to Li Li and said, "No one should be coming, so pack up your things."
Jie Li nodded: "Yes."
Just as he stood up, he heard a burst of hurried horse hooves from the other end of the street. Soon, two animal carts stopped in front of Baigong Gate.
The door of a car in front opened and a man got out of the car, immediately attracting the attention of Zhu Changyang and a group of Baigongmen disciples.
The man had a very gorgeous appearance, with narrow and slightly upturned eyes. He was wearing a very flamboyant red robe, and there was an indescribable sense of weirdness from head to toe.
The disciples of Baigongmen couldn't help but ask each other quietly: "Who is this person?"
"I don't know him, could he be a guest here?"
This man's appearance and temperament were very outstanding, and he didn't look like someone who was here to register, but his carriage stopped in front of the gate of Baigongmen, so it seemed that he must be a guest from somewhere.
While I was guessing, two bicycles with runes on them rushed over from the other end of the street, rushing forward aggressively: "Get out of the way, good dog, don't block the road-"
The people from Baigongmen frowned slightly. Ever since the bicycle came out, there have been speed racing gangs in Buchendi and Changpingjing.
Some people even put speed charms on their cars and drive around recklessly. When they accidentally hit someone, they even curse the person for being blind. It's really annoying.
The man in red probably saw a bicycle for the first time. He looked at it curiously but did not dodge.
Seeing that the two bicycles were about to hit him, Chang Fengchi shouted urgently: "Be careful."
At the same time, he tried to block the bicycle with his fingers, but before he finished, the man's mouth curled up into a smile.
The next moment, the front wheels of the two bicycles flew into the air as if they had hit an invisible wall.
The two people in the car fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground, screaming "Ah!"
One of them was in so much pain that he saw stars and rubbed the back of his head and yelled, "What are you doing—"
Before he finished his words, the two bicycles on the ground suddenly deformed and shrank, as if they were grasped by an invisible hand, and were instantly squeezed into a ball of iron.
The heart of the person who was speaking was also pinched. His eyes widened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly charming man could be so cruel and brutal, and he would kill people without saying a word.
I never expected that this person's martial arts was so powerful.
The disciples of Baigongmen didn't even know how he made his move.
The other drag racer gang realized that they had run into a tough guy and started crying in fear.
Zhu Changyang's expression changed slightly. Although these speed racers were annoying, it was still a life after all, and this was in the territory of Baigongmen, so he tugged at Jun Shu's sleeve.
Jun Shu didn't care about the lives of the two speeding gang members, but he knew Zhu Changyang's concerns. Seeing that the two men had almost learned their lesson, he slowly released a breath, dragged the two speeding gang members out from under the suppression of the man in red, and threw them to the other end of the street, "Get lost."
The two men didn't dare to say anything else and immediately ran away, crawling away.
The man in red didn't expect that someone could take the person away from him so easily. He was surprised and a little angry. He turned to look at Jun Shu, and was about to ask about his identity when he suddenly noticed that he was holding a strangely shaped black cat in his hands.
A charcoal head, pink flowers, and pearls on the neck, she looks out of place.
The man holding the cat was dressed in white and had picturesque features.
The man in red suddenly realized: "You are Jun Shu?"
He shifted his gaze to the young man standing next to Jun Shu, "Are you Zhu Changyang?"
His voice was hoarse, in stark contrast to his appearance.
Zhu Changyang was puzzled: "Who are you?"
The man confirmed the identities of the two people, smiled and handed over a visiting card: "My surname is Li. Following the order of my master, I brought a few people to learn from you."
He clapped his hands at a beast carriage behind him, and the door opened. A large group of people filed out of the carriage. A quick glance showed that there were at least forty or fifty people, both men and women, old and young, all with stern eyes. They looked very talented and perhaps they had some cultivation.
The group walked up to Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu, and bowed in unison: "Greetings, young masters."
Zhu Changyang lowered his head to read the visiting card: Li Ying, the guardian of Huijiao.
Zhu Changyang: “…”
The disciple of Baigong Sect next to him:
How come a large number of high-quality students suddenly appeared?
The author has something to say:
Masters of the King of Chance: Who are you
