“I don’t want any secret method or martial arts manual. I just want some specific knowledge. Maybe this is a little embarrassing, but I know that you are capable of doing it…” Yan Liqiang said as he looked at the figure wrapped in holy golden light, his tone very firm.
"It seems that you have thought it through very clearly. In your current state, the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing you practice is in perfect harmony with the laws of heaven and earth in this world you live in. This is already the highest-level secret method. The secret method I can give you, at your current stage, cannot be more effective than the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing. With the help of such a secret method, and at the same time possessing the many secrets of the Sword God Sect, as well as the things in your knowledge base on Earth, if you don't die, there will be nothing that can stop you from reaching the pinnacle of practice in this world in the future. For a warrior, the so-called secret methods and martial arts are not about practicing the more the better, but to practice a secret method or martial arts to the pinnacle, to be able to fight a hundred with one, or even go further. This is the pursuit of a warrior. In this case, comparing the two, the benefits that specific knowledge can bring to you are indeed far greater than these secret methods!" Zhang Tie looked at Yan Liqiang with admiration, as if he already knew what Yan Liqiang was thinking.
"That's true. You know that I have lived two lives, and my experiences are different from those of ordinary people. In my previous life, the Earth was very technologically advanced, and people could use technology to do many things that even peerless masters could not do. In the Silver Continent, I found that the laws of physics here are very different from those on Earth, and future development will not be the same as on Earth. The steam engine should be the most useful machine that people in this world can use to transform nature. Now the steam engine has been invented and has even been used on a small scale, but it cannot be used on a large scale. There is still a link missing in the middle. I want to make up for this link. Can you help me..."
"You mean steel?"
Yan Liqiang was also a little helpless and embarrassed, but he also said frankly, "I found that the efficiency of steel smelting and processing in this world is too low and the cost is too high. This is the key factor that restricts the further large-scale promotion of steam engines. Although the knowledge I learned in my previous life was very extensive, I was very lacking in this more professional industrial knowledge. In addition to vaguely knowing that coke is needed for large-scale steel smelting, and roughly knowing the smelting method of coke, the rest, related to the large-scale steel smelting, such as blast furnaces and open-hearth furnaces, I have only heard of a few technical terms, as for how to do it, I am still a little confused..." Yan Liqiang paused and thought for a while, "I can't hide anything I think from you. The world is in chaos now. If I can master large-scale steel production and smelting technology and promote it in Qiyun County or Ganzhou, once it can increase my steel production by ten or dozens of times, it will have irreplaceable and huge significance to me..."
The god seemed to have a smile on his face. "You are smarter than I thought, and you have a longer vision. There are so many disciples in Yu Luo Palace, but you are the only one who thought of such a request!"
"Anyway, I have lived two lives. If I don't even have this little bit of knowledge, then I must have lived a dog's life in my previous life. In such troubled times, the so-called peerless masters can indeed do many things, but the ultimate power that ultimately determines the rise and fall of the earth and the ownership of the world, and that can allow you to truly crush others, is only one, and that is productivity. I don't believe in any famous generals or military advisors who can plan and win thousands of miles away, nor do I believe in luck in troubled times. I only believe in this, in data, in these things that can be seen and touched and can change people's lives. As long as I have more and cheaper steel, I can make more and cheaper machines, cast more armor and weapons, arm my men to the teeth, protect them better, make my territory richer, and then use steel, machines, iron hooves, bows, gold and silver to crush my enemies, or use these things to protect the people and things I want to protect. This is what I need most now!"
"You said it very well. Consider this as my gift to you!" Zhang Tie said, stretching out his hand and pointing a finger at Yan Liqiang's forehead.
In an instant, Yan Liqiang felt that many images, knowledge and skills were flooding into his brain. There was so much information that Yan Liqiang felt like his head was about to burst...
"The knowledge and skills you want are all in here. In my world, these things are what silver hammer craftsmen must master. They are also the peak of power that can be achieved by combining steam and steel. They are enough for you. I am looking forward to seeing how far you can go. Ahem, I have talked to you for so long. Today I promised to take my wife to Xuanyuan Hill for dinner, shopping and shopping. I am leaving too. Remember, live well. When you stand at the peak of power in the Silver Continent in the future, we will see each other again..."
Yan Liqiang suddenly felt like he was falling from a great height while bungee jumping. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and the starry sky disappeared. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the secret hall of Yu Luo Palace, still sitting cross-legged in front of the statue of Yu Luo Emperor. At this time, he didn't know how much time had passed since he entered into meditation. The plate of Linglong incense that Cui Lichen had lit had already turned into a circle of ashes that fell on the altar.
Feeling that his head was still a little swollen, Yan Liqiang rubbed his eyebrows, but suddenly found that, without knowing when, a lot of things had already appeared in his consciousness - all kinds of knowledge about ore dressing and mining, all kinds of knowledge about steel smelting, various alloy formulas, all kinds of wonderful steel smelting blast furnaces, various factory design and structural planning, and all kinds of powerful war weapons and production equipment driven by steam, and even the manufacturing principles and processes of mechanical computers driven by steam, from the simplest to the most complex, extremely detailed, from airships to war fortresses, all in his mind, each of these knowledge has been refined and refined, and I don’t know how many people’s wisdom and practice The crystallization, even from Yan Liqiang’s knowledge, many parts of this knowledge are things that Yan Liqiang has never seen or heard of...
Yan Liqiang looked at his hands. At this moment, for some reason, he had a feeling that even if he was alone in Canglong Mountain, as long as he was given enough time, relying on the knowledge in his head, he could even create an entry-level steam computer from scratch. Damn, a computer constructed with steam and metal, Yan Liqiang had never thought of it before, this is amazing!
"A god like Yu Luo Tiandi... also has to... accompany his wife to eat, go shopping and buy things?" Thinking of the last sentence he said to Zhang Tie and himself, Yan Liqiang looked at his hands with a strange expression. If this sentence had not appeared directly in his consciousness and had become his memory, he would even doubt whether he had heard it wrongly, "Xuanyuan Hill, what kind of place is that..."
"Ah, Li Qiang, you're awake..." Cui Lichen's voice came from behind, and Yan Liqiang suddenly pulled his thoughts back to reality. Wait, why are there two footsteps behind him? One of the footsteps is Cui Lichen's, and the other footsteps are also very familiar, it's...
Yan Liqiang stood up at once, turned around, and saw Cui Lichen and Ganzhou Governor Lei Sitong walking towards him. When Lei Sitong saw him, his expression was a little strange, as if he was smiling but not smiling...
"Li Qiang, let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Lei Sitong, the governor of Ganzhou. He is also a disciple of Yu Luo Palace. You should have known each other before. The identities of all disciples of Yu Luo Palace are kept secret. Li Qiang, you have killed an evil demon. Now you can slowly get to know other disciples of Yu Luo Palace!" Cui Lichen said as he walked towards Yan Liqiang. "We don't talk about false etiquette in Yu Luo Palace. Except for the master-disciple relationship, all the relationships between disciples in the palace are handled by you. It is equal, so don't be awkward, just call each other what you want!"
"Brother Lei, you deceived me so much..." Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly at Cui Lichen.
Lei Sitong laughed loudly, walked over and patted Yan Liqiang on the shoulder, his tone was full of intimacy, "Liqiang, don't blame me, I only knew your identity three days ago after receiving a message from Master and came to this secret realm to pay my respects to Master. I was wondering why I liked you before, brother. After all this time, it turns out that we are from the same sect. This is fate!"
"Three days?" Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cui Lichen, "Senior, how many days did I stay in meditation this time?"
"Seven whole days!" Cui Lichen looked at Yan Liqiang with a special and even slightly envious look, "Very few disciples of Yu Luo Palace can enter a state of meditation for seven days at this time. Liqiang, you must have gained something special this time!"
