After reading the text annotations, Dong Pan was also shocked and looked at Xie Quanting and Chen Jue in confusion.
"There is already an airship under trial production. I will accompany Mr. Dong to take a look, and maybe I can have a more intuitive experience." Chen Hai smiled and invited Dong Pan to go to the factory to watch the airship manufacturing.
"I want to see Chen Hai right now, is it convenient?" Dong Pan asked Zhou Jingyuan.
The role they can play now is to deliver information in a timely manner.
After sending people to Juquan Ridge to send greetings, Dong Pan asked Jie Quanting which twelve scrolls of heavenly war machinery had been released in Juquan Ridge in Liquan City.
What is the cause of this
Dong Pan flew directly with his sword and rushed to the Nanshan Gate of Juquan Ridge. The attendants he sent to deliver the invitations also rushed here on horseback, but they did not have time to deliver the invitations to Zhou Jingyuan.
After meeting Chen Hai, Dong Pan stopped trying anything and first sent Chen Lie's letter:
On the way to Juquan Ridge, Dong Pan kept thinking about this issue.
The biggest difference is that these disciples are practicing in Tianji Academy or being employed by Tianji Academy. Taiwei Sect can no longer require them to be unconditionally loyal to the sect; another is that Tianji Academy will no longer be vassal to Hexi. It is an existence independent of sects and sects.
Tianji Academy accepts reservations for two Fengyan airships in one year. The Miao and Yue families have already taken the lead. If someone else preempts eight of the ten ships, then Hexi will have to wait six or seven years to get the first Fengyan airship. Airship, that's too backward.
Jie Quanting took out a stack of scrolls from the storage ring. Even if Dong Pan didn't ask, he would send the scrolls back to Hexi in the next two days.
"There are two parts to the disciples' credits," Chen Hai said with a smile. "The first is the various Tianji atlases owned by the Tianji Academy. Some of them will be released for free, but there are some that have been recently deduced and developed. I still hope that everyone will Families can bid to buy from Tianji Academy, and our prices are relatively reasonable. Another thing is that families can bid to buy Tianji scrolls from Tianji Academy, and then hire disciples from Tianji Academy to build whatever Tianji war machine they want, and they can get started quickly. , can reduce many twists and turns. But even if some people want to obtain the Tianji Scroll through other means, we can't shout and kill, but we will reject the possibility of cooperation with each other in the future. Second, it is the disciples in Tianji School The gains from practicing during the palace period even improved the Tianji Tushu of Tianji Academy, which will be shared by Tianji Academy and its disciples. Of course, after leaving Tianji Academy, the disciple did not accept the employment of Tianji Academy. Having gained from practicing the art of puppetry, Tianji Academy has no shame in taking advantage of its disciples. However, if any puppet war weapon drawings are in the hands of various families, or if these disciples have achieved success in practice, Tianji Academy is still willing to exchange them. What you get…”
Although there were still many formalities to hand over to Dong Pan, Zhou Jingyuan, who was sitting aside and listening, truly breathed a sigh of relief when the Shenhou and the Crown Prince Dong Chou set such a tone.
"The Marquis of Shen sent the crown prince to ask if Marquis Zhaoyang was going to stay. Marquis Zhaoyang decided to stay in the Taiwei Sect to practice cultivation. He specially wrote a letter and asked me to send it to the Young Marquis..."
"The Young Marquis expected that Master Dong would return to Liquan in the next two days, so he didn't make any arrangements to meet anyone else. He just waited for Master Dong to come over." Zhou Jingyuan said.
It’s not clear whether Chen Hai thinks the three township-level Tianji chariots are shocking enough, or whether the Tianji Academy’s heritage stops here for the time being. Dong Pan turned the picture scroll to the last page while thinking about it, but it was the picture scroll. The painting shows the shape of a warship flying on the top of a mountain against the harsh wind.
He secretly looked at Dong Pan's face, although he was a little anxious, but there was no anger or hidden murderous intention. He thought that if Dong Pan returned to Taiwei Sect with the secret map of the Tianji Chariot, the result would not be too bad.
"Hexi seems to have misunderstood our intentions," Chen Hai said with a slight sigh, "I know how much I have, and I have never thought about opening a sect in Juquan Ridge. I just hope to have a place where Jin Yan can gather. Talented and learned people from various states study and discuss the science of mechanism puppets. These talented and learned people have certain selection criteria if they want to enter the Tianji Academy to practice. They must also follow the Tianji Academy during the period of training in the Tianji Academy. There are some rules of the academy, but after the three-year or five-year training period, except for those who accept the employment of Tianji Academy or who want to continue to practice, other disciples may stay or leave, or return to the sect, or Tianji Academy will not restrict whether they join another sect or serve the imperial court. Even some people surrender themselves and join the bandits. These are all restricted by imperial laws, and Tianji Academy will not restrict them. I won’t take any responsibility for this…”
Measured by the traditional mechanism puppet technique, the war machines created by Tianji Academy do not even have the puppet essence to control the advancement and retreat of the mechanism beast, and their performance is extremely single. They can only be regarded as low-level mechanism puppet beasts, which are inferior to those of the Taiwei Sect. The treasure Van Thunder Puppet Dragon, I don’t know how many times the difference is. However, whether it is a township-level Tianji chariot or a wind flame airship, it can play a very powerful role in the formation of an army.
In areas that are flat and connected by roads, it is of course possible to transport bulk goods by vehicle and ship, but the speed is far from reaching the level of three thousand miles a day.
"As soon as the wind flame airship picture scroll came out, someone went to Juquan Ridge to ask. Juquan Ridge responded that they can accept reservations for up to two ships a year. However, the wind flame airship has weak defense and cannot be directly driven on the battlefield. The cost is high. It's quite expensive. Currently, only two families, Miao and Yue, have reserved one each to see what it is. Of course, Juquanling also sells the manufacturing drawings of the Fengyan airship, but the asking price is equivalent to starting from Juquanling directly purchased three Fengyan airships..."
And if you want to be able to transport a weight of 200,000 kilograms at a time at a speed of 3,000 miles per day without being restricted by terrain, you need to use at least 200 black-feathered giant eagles to achieve this.
It is only a small part of the warship. There is also a fusiform airbag that is dozens of times larger in size and is connected to the warship...
The sect's most precious treasure, the Brahma Thunder Puppet Dragon, was created by an unknown disciple of the Taiwei Sect 1,800 years ago throughout his life. It was then continuously perfected and improved by more than ten generations of ancestors of the sect. Bottle machine puppet beast.
Dong Pan was slightly startled. Hearing what Chen Hai said was indeed very different from what he had thought before.
"It can travel three thousand miles a day and carry 200,000 kilograms of weight at a time. Even if it cannot be used directly on the battlefield due to weak defenses, it is still of great use." Dong Pan was responsible for logistics supplies for King Qin's army in Hexi some time ago. Of course, we know how powerful this kind of wind flame airship will be when used for logistics.
The Fan Lei Puppet Dragon has now integrated with the sect's mountain-protecting formation. It is rumored that the puppet essence is even more powerful than the souls of the Taoist Realm Heaven Ranking experts, but Taiwei Sect has not encountered anything substantial in the past hundred years. Due to the threat, Dong Pan never had the chance to see the true face of Fan Lei Puppet Dragon.
…
Except for the three rural-level Tianji chariots that are particularly eye-catching, the other publicly available Tianji war machines are also ordinary. Some of them are more like improved versions of the mechanical wooden ox, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the Tianji chariots in the rugged mountains.
"What's going on with the Wind Flame Airship?" Dong Pan asked, "If Hexi pre-orders a Wind Flame Airship now, can he know more information?"
"Haha," Chen Hai laughed and said, "The Fengyan airship has received six reservations today. If Hexi wants it, it will have to wait until the fourth year. However, the Fengyan airship is based on the Type A Fengyan system. Manufacturing is based on the Tianji Forbidden System. Hexi already has Type A Wind Flame System Tianji Forbidden Scrolls. If you are willing to pay the cost of building another flying ship, you can take away the entire set of scrolls. Of course, I also believe in Hexi’s sincerity. You can take the drawing and discuss it first, whether to bid for it, but if Hexi really wants to build the Wind Flame Airship, it is best to pay the bid, so as not to affect the future cooperation between the two parties... "
The cost of building a Wind Flame airship is high, but if it can be really useful, Dong Pan believes that the crown prince Dong Chou will also be willing to pay the price. He stood up and saluted and said: "If you can, I want to get the scroll first and then go back to Hexi. One trip. I have to inform the Crown Prince about other matters... "
The twelve pieces of Tianji war machines released to the public are naturally just sketches of their appearance, and will not involve the real core top secrets. However, from the appearance and descriptive text introduction, it is not difficult for outsiders to guess the functions of these Tianji war machines.
Although Chen Lie's letter was not sealed, Dong Pan did not open it privately to peek, but watched Chen Hai open Chen Lie's letter. After reading it, except for sighing slightly and his expression dimming slightly, there was no other abnormality. He again The general Shenhou and the eldest son Dong Chou also told the truth about the fate of the disciples who left the Taiwei Sect and joined the Tianji Academy one by one, and no longer made any detours.
It's no wonder that the Miao and Yue families didn't understand what the Fengyan airship was about, so they directly booked one each.
"Even if the disciples of Tianji Academy go out and spread what they have learned, Tianji Academy will not restrict them?" Dong Pan asked.
Zhou Jingyuan calmed down and led Dong Pan directly to Beishan Tianji Cliff to meet Chen Hai.
"I will go to Juquan Ridge to see Chen Hai right now..." Dong Pan was ordered to handle the relationship with Tianji Academy with full authority. Even though he understood the intentions of Shenhou and the Crown Prince, he still wanted to delay for two days to sort out his thoughts before going. I met Chen Hai, but when I saw the picture of Fengyan Airship, I was worried that I would be late and my reservation in Hexi would be delayed.
Although Taiwei Sect is not known for its puppetry skills, the sect has been established in Taiwei Mountain for thousands of years. There have been many amazing puppet masters in the sect, leaving many powerful puppetry beasts to the sect.
"So that's it..." Dong Pan said with emotion, and suddenly felt that Taiwei Sect really didn't need to completely separate from some disciples. Anyway, Tianji Academy would not restrict the stay of these disciples after completing their training period.
Even if Tianji Academy wants to retain them, it is just employment, which does not conflict with their status as Taiwei Sect disciples.
No matter what Chen Hai says, Tianji Academy will become a very important force in the future, but the restraints Tianji Academy imposes on its disciples are indeed very different from traditional sects and sects, and they can’t even be discussed. What's the binding force
"Windflame airship? This shape looks really weird," Dong Pan lowered his head to look at the text annotation in the lower right corner of the picture scroll, smacked his lips and said, "In ancient times, it was said that there were gods who traveled across the eight extremes in a flying boat that traveled tens of thousands of miles. It's day and night in Zhiyuan. It's just that the top-level air-controlling talisman formation prohibitions are not inherited by the sects in the Jinyan states. Is it possible that Tianji Academy masters the top-level sky-controlling talisman formation prohibition inheritance? Hey, The Fengyan airship is made and can carry 200,000 kilograms of weight. How is this possible?"
