Zhao Qianzhang's expression became extremely serious.
"The situation of the demons is more serious than what has been announced. The number of demons is dozens of times greater than ours. If we did not have abundant resources to support a large number of agencies for combat, we would have been defeated by the demons long ago."
"There is another reason. That is, the demons are very scattered. They have no unified leader. The demons are barbaric and have no morals. When they launch an attack in a short period of time, they are unmatched. Once they are dragged down by us and fall into a protracted war, they will cause huge internal conflicts due to the lack of moral and order constraints, and then retreat."
"But now the situation has changed dramatically. A powerful emperor has appeared in the demon barbarians. He is constantly swallowing up other demon barbarians. This process has come to an end. In three to five months at most, the demon barbarians in the industrial world will be unified. Once they work together to erode the cities one by one, the human race in the industrial world will be in danger."
Fang Yun asked: "Didn't you try to contain the monsters?"
Zhao Qianzhang said helplessly: "We have been working hard, but with little success. We even suspect that the industry has been constantly strengthening its monsters and forcing us to keep improving. If our progress does not meet the will of the industry or the requirements of Zhuge Xiansheng, the industry will probably wipe us out and create new people. We should just..."
Zhao Qianzhang couldn't continue.
Fang Yun didn't want to say it either. After all, no one was willing to admit that they were just a test subject.
Fang Yun said: "I want to tell you a good news. The people in the literary world of Confucius can now leave the literary world. Under the blessing of Wenquxing, everyone in the literary world can pass!"
"Then can we, the workers, do it too?" Zhao Qianzhang asked excitedly.
Fang Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact result, but theoretically, you may be able to survive in Shengyuan Continent. It just takes time."
"Thank you, Saint Fang Xu, for telling us this good news. I will definitely tell other great scholars and tell them that one day, we will become true human beings." Zhao Qianzhang suppressed his excitement.
Fang Yun looked at the gray-haired old man. There were almost no wrinkles on his face, but his hands were extremely rough and covered with thick calluses. His hands were yellowish-brown in color, as if he was wearing special gloves.
His hands were like countless tiny pieces of stone stuck together.
"We will definitely win!" Fang Yun said firmly.
"Yes!" Zhao Qianzhang clenched his fists tightly.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "I have some blueprints of powerful mechanisms, and I have enough materials, but I don't have enough to make them. With your level, can you make them?"
"Let me take a look first."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Let's go to the empty study room."
Zhao Qianzhang hurriedly took Fang Yun into the nearest study room in the Institute of Technology.
Fang Yun took out the design drawings of the Dragon Fire War Equipment that had been improved by the human race and placed them on the table in batches.
Each design drawing of the Dragon Fire War Equipment is several feet square and contains more than 500 pages, because the super-large mechanism has too many parts.
Zhao Qianzhang first picked up the overall design drawing, and after just one look at it, he was so excited that he was speechless and his hands were shaking.
"This... Is this a Saint-killing mechanism?"
Fang Yun said: "It's not that level yet, but it's enough to kill emperors on a large scale. Many of the materials required for the blueprints are impossible for your literary world to have, but I can gather them. The only thing we need now is the production level. This kind of mechanism is extremely difficult to make, even for the Holy Academy with the help of the semi-holy treasures of the craftsmen. At least so far, the human race has not been able to independently make this kind of mechanism."
Zhao Qianzhang stopped talking and quickly looked through all the drawings.
Finally, Zhao Qianzhang shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if we have the materials, our yield rate is extremely low. In fact, we can make most of this mechanism, but some of its core components are far beyond our level. If nothing unexpected happens, it should take a semi-saint to make them personally."
"Can Sage Zhuge refine it?" Fang Yun asked.
Zhao Qianzhang said with pride: "Not to mention this kind of mechanism, even if it is ten or even a hundred times more difficult, it is still easy for the ancient sage Zhuge. After all, the ancient sage Zhuge is a master craftsman who made the wooden ox and the eight formations."
"The wooden ox and flowing horse has been lost. Do you in the industry know anything about it?" Fang Yun asked.
Zhao Qianzhang hesitated for a few breaths, his face showing determination, and said: "I will not hide it from you. We have always suspected that the wooden ox and the flowing horse and the Eight Diagrams are in the industry. However, we have tried every means and still cannot get them. I don't know why."
Fang Yun said curiously, "Although the wooden ox and the flowing horse have been lost, the historical records are very detailed. Before Zhuge Bansheng was canonized, the wooden ox and the flowing horse were just a large-scale means of transportation. After he was canonized, after further improvements, the wooden ox and the flowing horse became a powerful war machine, especially in large-scale battles. It is invincible. Even the monsters have never won against the wooden ox and the flowing horse. As for the Eight Diagrams, we know very little about it. Some say it is a military formation, some say it is a treasure to trap the enemy, and some say it is the power of the evolution of the Book of Changes. Many people even doubt its existence."
Zhao Qianzhang said: "The Eight Formations Diagram was originally a military formation, but Zhuge Bansheng integrated it into the art of mechanical devices and made it into a powerful mechanical sacred treasure. We can only be sure of this, but as for the details, we don't know."
"How did you find out?"
"A dream." Zhao Qianzhang said seriously.
Fang Yun was stunned at first, then thought for a moment and said, "Is there anyone among you whose spiritual consciousness is connected to the will of the industrial world and has seen something incredible?"
Zhao Qianzhang sighed, "You are indeed the Virtual Saint of the human race. You can tell the truth about something that seems like a joke to others. Yes, there were many great Confucian craftsmen whose divine thoughts entered an unknown place. There was a world made up of mechanical devices. There were countless mechanical parts, gears, levers, bearings, etc., all operating in an orderly manner. According to inference, that place occupies a radius of more than 20 miles, but we have never been able to find it. The wooden ox and the flowing horse obviously cannot be that huge, so it can only be the legendary Eight Diagrams."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Since we couldn't find the Eight Diagrams before, it's hard to find it now. We should still work on the Dragon Fire War Tool. Can you make a smaller version of the Dragon Fire War Tool? It doesn't need to be able to kill the emperor, it just needs to injure him."
Zhao Qianzhang said helplessly: "Everything else can be done, but the source of fire is hard to find. There is a powerful source of fire in our city, but it cannot be moved."
Fang Yun stretched out his hand, and the Starfire Heavenly Mirror floated above his palm. He asked, "How about this semi-saint treasure temporarily serving as a fire source? If it doesn't work, I have a better fire source."
"Let me check it first." A Lu Ban ruler appeared in front of Zhao Qianzhang, and the ruler emitted a divine light that enveloped the Starfire Hun Tianjian.
A moment later, endless fire suddenly ignited in Zhao Qianzhang's eyes, scaring him so much that he quickly put away the Lu Ban ruler. Then his face turned red, as if he was drunk, and he felt dizzy.
Fang Yun hurriedly supported him.
After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Where did you get this treasure? The flame of this thing is like the true fire of the sun, which can hurt a semi-saint, let alone an emperor. Fortunately, I stopped in time, otherwise I would have been burned to death."
"Well, it's okay. I will put it away when it's dangerous." Fang Yun said.
