The live broadcast room became a sea of joy, but the Baigongmen trial field was completely silent.
If emotions could be visualized, everyone would have a lot of black lines hanging over their heads at this moment, and everyone would be shrouded in huge confusion - how did this person get in
As mentioned before, although not everyone in Piaomiao Continent practices cultivation, simple skills are everywhere, and there are also independent cultivators who run self-cultivation and longevity classes specifically for ordinary mortals.
In other words, as long as one is determined to pursue the Tao, it is not difficult to get started, otherwise Baigongmen would not have added such an entry test.
This is because the Baigong Sect is not as powerful as before and the entry threshold is not high. For those big and famous sects, such as Yong Zhoutian in the north, the entry standard is set at the middle stage of foundation building or above.
Zhu Changyang is not a child who has not yet been enlightened, and he looks like he is actively trying to join the Baigong Sect, but he actually has no cultivation at all!
Isn't this too lazy? Didn't you study at all before
Also, has Baigongmen’s bottom line become so low
Facing so many inquiring looks, Chang Fengchi had a drop of sweat on his forehead, and in the end he could only laugh dryly: "Haha, I just think you guys have some ideas, what if..."
"… "
Unable to bear looking at this silly son any longer, Chang Chunwu silently turned his head away.
The rest of the elders also twitched slightly.
This young master is really speechless.
At the same time, Shi Hou off the court also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu came together. Just now, he saw that Jun Shu performed outstandingly, and he was worried that Zhu Changyang would also be an unexpected threat.
The result was really unexpected, but it was just an unexpected joke.
Lord Shi felt relieved and started to think again. Zhu Changyang had no hope, but he still had a chance.
Although Jun Shu's work is of higher quality than his, the sword tassel is only an auxiliary magical tool after all. It is simpler to refine than a weapon, so it may not be much better than his overall.
What's more, he is the only one in the Golden Core Stage with dual spiritual roots among those who registered this time.
If I had known earlier, I would not have concealed my strength when refining. At that time, in order to hinder the people behind him, he used only high-quality materials. High-quality materials are not always suitable and difficult to refine, so it also affected his performance...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Shi Hou's mind. He was only thinking about how to defeat Jun Shu later, and he no longer took Zhu Changyang seriously.
Others also lost their expectations for Zhu Changyang's works.
One with low cultivation level may be able to refine a magical weapon of a higher level, but without cultivation level there is no "method", and no matter how clever one is, one is just a mortal craftsman.
The deacons and elders wanted to announce the result directly, but considering the young master's face, they went through the process.
Picking up the last piece, the elder was even more speechless. Although Jun Shu's sword tassel was rough, it still had a shape, but this one left him completely clueless.
This is a cylinder slightly thicker than a wrist, about six inches long, and appears to be made of iron, with a small bulge in the middle.
One end of the cylinder is sealed, and the other end is covered with a piece of polished colored glass. Through the clear colored glass, you can see a silver funnel inside, and there is a small colored glass in the center of the funnel.
Not to mention, I've never seen this kind of craftsmanship before. Looking at the shape, could it be a... glass-headed hammer
A hammer is just a hammer. What’s the point of making all this fancy stuff
At this point, the deacon elder was 100% certain that this item did not contain any spiritual power and was a completely ordinary weapon.
It was already half dark, and the deacon elder just wanted to get off work quickly. He didn't even use his spiritual power and just hastily knocked the object that looked like a hammer against the trial stone.
As expected, the Trial Stone did not react at all, but the hammer did not break either, because there was no spiritual power at all, which would not cause the Trial Stone to recoil.
At this time, Zhu Changyang finally ran to the front and said, "Elder, you are wrong. This is not how it is used."
The deacon elder was about to put the hammer down, but stopped when he heard this and said patiently, "Oh, then how should I use it?"
But I don't agree with it in my heart. If it is used in a different way, isn't it still an ordinary tool
Zhu Changyang pointed to the raised part in the middle of the cylinder and said, "Push the button in the middle."
The deacon elder didn't know what the "button" meant, but he understood the meaning, so he pushed the small bump in the middle as he was told.
There was a slight "click" sound, and the glass head of the cylinder flashed, suddenly emitting a bright white beam of light.
The glass head was facing forward, and the beam of light just happened to shine on the face of a candidate. The candidate's eyes were dazzled unexpectedly, and he almost instinctively raised his hand to block it, exclaiming: "Ah, it's so bright!"
At the same time, everyone on the field widened their eyes: ? !!
What's this
Jun Shu beside him also blinked, his face full of interest: "Huh!"
"What, what is this?" The deacon elder was stunned. "Why is it glowing?!!"
Chang Chunwu, who had been motionless throughout the whole process, couldn't help himself for the first time and walked over, "Let me see."
She took the hammer from the deacon elder and confirmed at the touch that the hammer did not have any spiritual power. Then she looked at the glowing glass and found that there was clearly no flame, so this was obviously not the light of flame.
Chang Chunwu grabbed the cylinder and turned it. As it turned, the light beam emitted from the glass head also changed direction, illuminating wherever it was pointed.
Her face showed more and more surprise. Thinking of what Zhu Changyang had just taught the deacon elder, she also tried to push the "button" on the cylinder.
With a slight "click" sound, the light beam disappeared.
"Click", it lights up.
"Click", it went dark.
"Click", it lights up again.
Zhu Changyang, who was watching the master playing with the buttons back and forth, said: "…"
After pressing it several times, Chang Chunwu was finally completely sure that the "button" on the cylinder was the one that controlled the light source.
But how did this light appear
She looked at Zhu Changyang, not hiding her surprise at all: "What is this? Why is it glowing?"
Zhu Changyang didn't try to be mysterious and said with a smile: "This is a flashlight."
Chang Chunwu was confused: "Flashlight?"
.
When the elder deacon picked up the glazed hammer, the [Piaomiao Continent] live broadcast room was already flooded with comments.
However, unlike the surprise and confusion in the world of cultivation, there is a field of growing grass here.
[??? Am I seeing this correctly? Is this a flashlight?]
[What are you doing, elder? Do you think it's a hammer? How do you hit it with it? ]
[It’s turned on, it’s turned on, fuck, it’s really a flashlight!]
[The elder’s expression made me laugh to death, dementia.jpg]
[Awesome, they actually made a flashlight. This is quite unconventional and quite interesting. Maybe the anchor can really carve out a path for himself.]
The netizens were extremely resourceful. Someone who knew the matter immediately dug out the footage of him taking down the waste stone before, zoomed in on it, and then made a guess.
[Damn, those waste rocks seem to be ore! The light was too dim, and I couldn't see clearly at the time. Look at the place I circled, there is a white and transparent one, which is quartz crystal. His light bulb should be made from this.]
[Niupi, you are refining the ore yourself? ? What about the electricity? ]
[I remember, didn't he take salt and flour before? In addition to making pancakes, that thing has another less popular use - making alkaline dry batteries. ]
[Is this also possible???]
[Ah, this is an unexpected path! ]
[… … … … The host is good, I’m following this live broadcast! ]
.
Even in such a developed world of cultivation, it is still dark at night.
On the night of registration, Zhu Changyang felt very inconvenient to find materials by the light of a fire, so he decided to get a light bulb at first.
Close to netizens' speculation, he found the main material for making electric lamps from the original ore.
The raw materials for glass are the easiest to obtain, and common white quartz sand can be used to make it. Zhu Changyang directly uses crystal blocks found in waste rocks, crushes them, melts them using the vacuum and normal pressure method, and then blows the glass liquid into the bulb mold.
The filament material is also easy to get. Usable carbon filaments can be made by baking bamboo. However, Zhu Changyang detected tungsten in the ore and used tungsten filament directly in one step. It has better brightness and is more resistant to high temperatures.
With the help of the workshop's vacuum equipment, the biggest problem with the light bulb was solved.
With the light bulb, we need electricity. There are many ways to obtain electricity. The simplest way is to make a voltaic pile, but it requires a large volume and the current is not very stable.
After much thought, Zhu Changyang decided to simply get a dry cell battery and make a flashlight.
He asked for salt and flour from the kitchen. Salt, carbon dioxide and ammonia can be used to synthesize ammonium chloride using Hou's alkali method, and then flour is added to make a paste, which is then applied to a zinc cylinder. The cylinder is filled with manganese dioxide and graphite powder, and a carbon rod is placed in the center.
In this way, dry batteries are also available.
As for the outer shell of the flashlight, it is simpler, made of galvanized iron.
All that was left was assembly. The working principle of the earliest old-fashioned flashlight was not complicated, and Zhu Changyang could draw the blueprint from memory.
Unfortunately, the workshop's advanced automated equipment could not be used yet, so he could only use some basic ones. Many production steps had to be done manually, which took a lot of time.
Anyway, I finally got it done.
Judging from the results, his strategy is undoubtedly correct.
People instinctively hate darkness and yearn for light, but even in the world of cultivation, shining is not an easy thing.
In the Piaomiao Continent, many people have refined glowing magical instruments, but these instruments were all regarded as top-quality treasures and eventually became private collections of major sects.
The reason why Yongzhutian is regarded as the number one weapon refining sect on the continent is because its founder, Changming Zhenren, refined the Changming Ming Lantern that can illuminate an entire city at night, and Yongzhutian got its name from this.
Of course, such magic weapons are not usually seen.
Yong Zhoutian will only activate the Ever Bright Lantern on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year to let everyone witness its power.
The "flashlight" made by Zhu Changyang naturally cannot be compared with those magic weapons, but the key is that this thing itself is not a magic weapon!
Chang Chunwu pressed the button back and forth several times to make sure that this was indeed an ordinary object. It was not made of any materials containing spiritual power and did not require spiritual power to use.
This is amazing!
Chang Chunwu was really curious about how this thing was made, but after all, it was someone else's secret method, so it was not easy to find out. In the end, she suppressed the doubts on her lips and just exclaimed: "Good! Good! It turns out that there is a creator's ingenuity to be able to refine such a wonderful thing!"
The others also came to their senses at this time. The contempt they had for Zhu Changyang before was completely gone, and only surprise remained in their eyes.
Chang Fengchi, who was sweating profusely, smiled happily and said, "See, I didn't make a mistake! Brother Zhu is a genius!"
Zhu Changyang was embarrassed by his exaggerated flattery: "... Ahem."
I don’t dare to call myself a genius. This is the wisdom of our predecessors. Anyone who has taken high school physics will understand it.
The deacon elder was delighted, but a little troubled, and asked: "Master, if this is the case, how should Zhu Changyang's assessment results be calculated?"
In theory, the assessment is based on the reaction of the trial stone. Zhu Changyang's work is so amazing, but there is no reaction at all on the trial stone.
Chang Fengchi said, "Hey, isn't it just looking at the light of the trial stone? The flashlights of the brothers will emit light by themselves. Isn't that enough?"
Deacon elder: “…”
Something seems wrong, but I can't refute it. What's going on
Chang Chunwu agreed with his silly son and said with a smile: "Feng Chi is right. We should not stick to one pattern when selecting talents. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to rank Zhu Changyang as the best for his creation."
Chang Chunwu broke the rules for Zhu Changyang in public, but no one present objected.
Only Shi Hou almost gritted his teeth. It was bad enough that he was surpassed by the one who had established his foundation before, but this one who didn't even have any cultivation could actually steal his limelight!
Judging from Chang Chunwu's expression, he is obviously very fond of Zhu Changyang. Wouldn't the purpose of his trip be defeated
The deacon elder was about to announce the result, but Chang Chunwu remembered something else and reminded him, "Wait a minute, they haven't had their spiritual roots tested yet."
Deacon Elder: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot."
As he said this, he waved his hand and asked someone to bring the jade disk over. It was just to complete the process, but after seeing Zhu Changyang's work, Chang Chunwu actually stepped forward in person and said, "Let me test it for them."
With Zhu Changyang being such a genius, his spiritual roots must be extraordinary. She must see it with her own eyes.
Zhu Changyang was also very curious about what his attributes were in the world of cultivation.
According to the law of time travel, outsiders like him will most likely get some luck compensation. Not to mention that he is a genius who has built a foundation in three years and formed an elixir in five years, but he must have a few high-grade spiritual roots and top-grade immortal roots!
While fantasizing, he followed the instructions and placed his hand on the jade disk.
Everyone present held their breath, waiting for the result.
After a moment, Chang Chunwu was shocked. He read the result twice before he exclaimed, "How could this be?!"
Zhu Changyang was delighted when he heard this. No way, no way, is he really a rare and top-notch physique? !
The time-traveling god finally became a human being and showed favor to him for once!
He laughed in his heart, but kept a calm face and asked shyly, "Excuse me, what's going on?"
Chang Chunwu looked up at him, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke with a sad face: "You don't even have spiritual roots."
Zhu Changyang: “…Huh?”
Wait, this is different from the agreed-upon time-travel script!
The author has something to say:
Chang Yang: Pujiang Live! I'm going to kill you!
