Although high-level talisman restraints are powerful, they require extremely high-level weapon refiners and a great deal of effort to refine them; and to become a heirloom that can maintain its original power for hundreds of years, it takes a lot of effort. Almost all the materials used are required to be of the highest grade of natural materials and earthly treasures.
Although Mojia Division rarely directly produces machine puppets, when various sects and clans supply machine puppets, they also need to submit detailed manufacturing drawings for review.
The Hexi reinforcements were delayed until early March in the 75th year of Emperor Yitian, before they officially moved east along the Chu River and entered Lichuan County to participate in the suppression of the Heiyan Army.
The Taiwei Mansion previously had a department for building armor, war equipment, and city and palace construction, under the jurisdiction of the General Administrative Office. At this time, it was separated from the Taiwei Mansion, and it was only changed from the General Administrative Office to the General Supervisory Office.
Chen Hai served as a young craftsman in the Mojia Division, and could only be considered a junior middle-level worker, so he took over the task of organizing and archiving drawings.
After Chen Hai sorted it out roughly, he found more than 80 types of elementary talisman array forbidden maps.
However, these are not in line with Chen Hai's requirements; the elementary puppet drawings that others look down upon are a huge treasure house for Chen Hai, and there should be countless inspirations hidden in them that can help him improve the design of the divine machine chariot, etc. Let him dig.
As for the extremely complex and powerful puppet war beasts, Mojiasi cannot make one in a year.
After preliminary sorting, Mojia Division has accumulated nearly 6,000 sets of reported drawings of machine puppets over the years. Almost all of them are low-level machine puppets, but there are many types. It can be said that there is a dazzling array, including transport-type machine wooden oxen and artesian puppets. The boat has mechanical shields and walls dedicated to defense, as well as offensive mechanical war beasts, flame-breathing puppets, ice puppets, etc...
In early November, the emperor issued an imperial edict to separate many subordinate institutions from the Taiwei Mansion and establish departments such as General Supervisor and Supervisor to reduce the power of the Taiwei Mansion. The emperor appointed Chen Xuanzhen, the chief minister of Kuilang Palace, to take charge of the General Supervisor. .
They come to Mojia Division every day to answer questions, but they are more dedicated to personal cultivation. The few affairs of Mojia Division actually fall on a few generals and young craftsmen from poor families.
The foundry directly under Mojia Division has a total of more than 300 craftsmen, but its scale is not as large as that of Juquanling, and its work style is procrastinating. How could they not satisfy the hundreds of thousands of Beijing camp troops, Shenling Mountain and the palace? The consumption of thousands or even thousands of machine-made wooden oxen every year
The power of the puppet clone was only vividly demonstrated at this time.
It's no wonder that these drawings and plans are not taken seriously. Even a young craftsman from a poor family, if he specializes in the art of machine puppets, would already have access to more advanced puppet refining methods in the academy or other sects and sects. Who cares about this
The puppet clone can now directly condense the secrets of the Rakshasa demon. Its sea of consciousness is unimaginably powerful, like an efficient supercomputer.
Although there are nearly 6,000 sets of reported drawings, by the standards of the Xuanxiu sect, they are all the lowest-level mechanical puppets; the puppet war beasts in them can also be easily defeated by spiritual-spiritual realm martial artists.
Chen Hai already had a good reputation at this time. This time he was transferred to the Mojia Division. Sicheng and several generals and master craftsmen were very wary, and those young craftsmen who came from poor families should have been used to seeing sects for a long time. The rich man's face showed his indifference towards Chen Hai.
These few people from poor families will be young craftsmen. Two of them have the cultivation level of Mingqiao Realm, and the other five have the cultivation level of late stage of Spiritual Realm. However, they are old and have frost hair on their manes. Although they were very talented and arrogant when they were young, after a lifetime of experience in Mojia Division, they could not see their future and their ambitions were very low.
Before Chen Hai entered, there were nearly forty people in Mojia Division including Sicheng, General and Young Craftsmen who were originally members of the Taiwei Mansion.
Mo Jiasi is in the East Gate, separated from the Su Wei Army's East Camp by a city wall. He passes through the Wengcheng of Jingyunmen every day, only a few miles back and forth. He is under the supervision of the Wengcheng garrison, but he is not afraid of assassins. Assassinations are committed in this area.
…
In addition to Chen Xuanzhen and the two young eunuchs, who are senior officials appointed by the emperor himself, there are also various divisions under the general craftsmen, each responsible for military affairs, equipment, government puppets, city construction, river construction and water conservancy, etc. Officials at the Prime Minister's level are divided into responsibilities; and under the Sicheng, there are as many as four to five hundred middle- and low-level officials like General Shaojiang, who are similar to technical directors and master craftsmen, and most of them have academies. Xi’s recollection.
Although the General Supervisor has just been established, the Mojia Division has existed in the system of the Taiwei Mansion for more than two thousand years, and has already accumulated a large number of machine puppet blueprints.
Chen Hai naturally had the opportunity to break into the Ming Aperture Realm before Wu Meng, but once he opened up the Ancestral Aperture Consciousness Sea, he would no longer be able to hide the state of the Gu soul in his body. He could only temporarily suppress his desire to enter the Ming Aperture Realm. He will mainly focus on the research of the puppetry technique and the Taoist seal formation.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the spring of Emperor Yitian's seventy-fifth year.
In the eyes of others, Chen Hai was just sorting out these drawings, but he was sorting them out very carefully.
Chen Hai's letter of appointment as the general's young craftsman was then sent to the East Camp of the Suwei Army.
…
The place where the drawings are stored is separated from the outside world by a small magic circle. Chen Hai, without any prying eyes from outsiders, connected with the puppet clone through his snake bracelet spirit soul, and directly transferred the drawings one by one into the puppet clone's vast sea of consciousness. When viewing and researching, the speed is hundreds of times faster than that of normal people.
Although the Black Armor Division also has a special foundry to manufacture various types of mechanism puppets, the large number of mechanism wooden oxen, puppet war beasts needed by the Beijing Camp Army and the palace, and even the armor and equipment needed by other Fang Divisions are basically The foundry supply controlled by the clan - Juquanling can also be said to be one of the suppliers that will be supervised - Mojiasi is more like a puppet bidding and technical supervision department.
With the lesson of Huangmiyuan's tragic defeat in front of them, no one in Gyeonggi Province dared to underestimate the combat power of the refugee army.
Prince Yingdan led his troops into Lichuan County in the south of Heyang County first. Seventy-five years after Emperor Yitian's reign, Prince Yingdan, assisted by Ning Zhize, Ning Zaizhi, Wei Yuqi and others, assembled more than fifty elite Huben troops and reinforcements from various counties at Mengjin Ferry, a key pass in the middle reaches of the Chu River. Thousands of people.
Recommended by Wen Boyuan, Chen Hai directly entered the Mojia Division, which specializes in the construction of puppets.
In addition to these, there are also many previous master craftsmen and young craftsmen's experiences on improving these machine puppets, and there are also many new machine puppet designs, but they are all piled on the bookshelves and have not been taken seriously.
Accompanied by Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang, Chen Hai would go to Mojia Division before dawn every day to review and sort out the drawings of the puppets. At night, he would return to the small courtyard at the northern foot of Shenling Mountain to further study the similarities and differences between these drawings. Apart from occasionally going to Wenboyuan Mansion to have tea and chat with Mr. Gu, he did not go anywhere else, nor did he show up at the academy.
Chen Hai didn't join Mojia Division just because he was fighting for power and gain. Whether he was indifferent or wary, it didn't hinder him.
Before sufficient preparations are made, Prince Yingdan will no longer be in a hurry to lead his troops north from Mengjindu and enter the territory of Heyang and Yanmen. Instead, he will defeat several small groups of refugee rebels in Wuliang Mountain north of Mengjindu and station them. Forming the trend of looking north towards Heyang.
Most of the machine puppet drawings lack the core talisman forbidden map, but not all sects and sects can remain strong in front of Mojiasi. In the past two thousand years, there have been occasional small sects and small sects. The clan supplies mechanism puppets to the Mojia Division, and the drawings reported include the forbidden talisman formation diagram.
And these subtle differences are precisely the essence of these drawings.
Each set of drawings involves machine spring components ranging from hundreds to thousands, which is extremely complicated. It is considered extremely fast for a normal person to read a set of drawings within a month, let alone study them in depth.
Several Sicheng and General Master Craftsmen all have Mingqiao Realm cultivation and have served in Mojia Division for many years. They are considered to be middle-level officials. They are different from those young Xuanxiu who have just been transferred from the academy to serve as General Master Young Craftsmen and have a lot of experience. , most of them are disciples of the eight tribes in Jingjun.
During this period, Wu Meng successfully opened up the Ancestral Aperture Sea of Consciousness and entered the Ming Aperture Realm. Qi Hanjiang also successfully cultivated to the late stage of the Spiritual Aperture Realm, and even showed a talent that was not weaker than Wu Meng's in martial arts practice.
These talisman formation prohibition diagrams are all derived from the basic Taoist seal script. This saves Chen Hai the process of going to the academy to practice the primary talisman formation prohibition map. It can even help him further study the talisman formation engraved in the snake scale book. Many mysterious seal scripts.
Nearly six thousand sets of elementary mechanism puppet drawings.
Chen Lie, Sun Qian, Su Yuan, Chen Zhang, Zhou Jun, Li Yulin, Cen Yunfei, Ran Hu and others naturally followed the Hexi troops led by Dong Shou into Lichuan County to fight; but Dong Ning returned sadly a year ago She was in Hexi, and Chen Hai couldn't go there to say goodbye to her.
Chen Hai imprinted the component drawings one after another into the consciousness of the puppet clone. After classifying them into categories, he could quickly compare the subtle differences in the designs of similar components.
Dong Shou also saw that Prince Yingdan had initially established a foothold in Wuliang Mountain and Mengjindu area before leading 20,000 Hexi reinforcements eastward.
What the sects and clans supplied to Heijiasi in batches were all relatively basic machine puppets. A few blueprints for high-level machine puppets were sealed in the academy; and no one knew some of the most core secrets of talisman formation refining. Attached to the drawing. Therefore, although these drawings are still well preserved as archives, no one thinks they have much value, and they are not taken seriously.
And many master craftsmen and young craftsmen who specialize in the art of machine puppets are more concerned about whether the talisman array restrictions in the body of the machine puppets are more sophisticated and powerful enough; most of them hope to create a powerful one that can be passed down to the world in their lifetime. The machine puppet war beast comes out.
