Chapter 543: Debut of the Passenger Spaceship
This world is dangerous, even in so-called peaceful times.
Especially for ascetics.
After all, in this world, only the secular world has laws, and such laws cannot restrain ascetics.
In the world of ascetics, although each school has its own rules and regulations, there is no unified supreme law that can be recognized by everyone. Any law, no matter how harsh it is, needs a strong executive body to make the law truly binding.
Of course, the world of ascetics is not completely chaotic. What restricts them is actually the so-called "reason", or "great righteousness". It's just that things like "righteousness" are all said by people, and it is not uncommon to do dirty things in the name of righteousness in the entire history of the monastic world.
In fact, even in the ancient times, when the immortals of the human race established the fairy court and commanded the world with the power of the fairy court, there was no law to restrain the ascetics. In other words, the laws of the ancient fairy court are based on the way of heaven, as long as they don't violate the way of heaven, they don't bother to care about small things.
The ultimate goal of the ascetics seeking longevity is to transcend, to escape from the three realms, to escape from the five elements, to get rid of all shackles, and to be at ease physically and mentally. It is already very difficult to get rid of all these things. Who would want to have one more powerful organization on top of their own head to restrain themselves with laws?
Without the suppression of powerful institutions, ascetics have indeed found freedom to a certain extent. But the price of this freedom cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
But in the specific reality, that is, any ascetic will actually have a serious sense of insecurity in his heart. When it comes down to building foundations and refining qi, to the level where the Dharma reaches the sky, don't think that the supreme being who reaches the sky is really invincible in the world. If you really have such a big heart that you don't care about anything, you will also be in danger of falling.
From small individuals to large sects, everyone survives tremblingly, and walks on thin ice every step of the way.
Anyone who underestimated the dangers of this world, even sects, would inevitably pay a heavy price. Those geniuses who think they control the world and think that the whole world revolves around themselves have lost countless lives in the history of the monastic world. Qi Qianjun is actually a vivid example.
Just participating in a Dao Discussion Conference, Ye Zan asked these inner disciples to make very thorough preparations to deal with any accidents. This request seems a bit excessive, almost like a patient with paranoid victimization. However, a person has only one life, and an accident can end everything. In the face of such a price, I am afraid that no amount of preparation can be too much.
Of course, sometimes, accidents will not be completely avoided because you are prepared. After all, manpower has a limit. But is it because of this that there is no need to make any preparations? At least always avoid things that cost your life because of accidents within your ability!
Therefore, to survive in this world, especially as a monk, I am afraid that patients with paranoid victimization will be more comfortable.
Fortunately, the preparations made by these disciples were not bad in Ye Zan's opinion. After all, they were only Foundation Establishment disciples. At the level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the preparations made by these disciples have been quite thoughtful.
"Well," Ye Zan finally nodded after looking around, under the nervous gaze of everyone, and said, "It's not bad, it seems that your understanding of reality has already left the stage of childishness and innocence. The evils of this world."
Hearing Ye Zan's words, those disciples all let out a sigh of relief, and their expressions finally became a little more relaxed and joyful. Passing Ye Zan's test meant that they could go to the Dao Discussion Conference. And such an opportunity, even those direct disciples, is not available to everyone.
The ten selected disciples all passed Ye Zan's test, except that they did make sufficient preparations,
In fact, there is still a little bit of Ye Zan's selfishness in it.
Originally, Ye Zan's plan was to eliminate at least five more people even if he was nitpicking. But now, he has promised to bring his daughter to the Dao Discussion Conference, so he doesn't mind bringing a few more people to help him coax the children.
"Okay, let's all go back. The departure date has not been set yet, and we will notify you when it is set." Ye Zan turned and left the lecture hall after saying this.
You know, participating in the Dao Discussion Conference is not just for Ye Zan. If Mo Ru would go, Jin Dasheng, Qi Qianjun, Luo Jinniang, and Cheng Liangqi, Yang Bufan and others who came back for a break, would also bring their valued personal disciples to go together. It is precisely because of this that Ye Zan will prepare a small passenger spaceship and bring these hundred or so people there with him.
However, after the Dao Discussion Conference, except for some large-scale exchange activities between sects, everyone will still disperse to move freely.
After all, this Dao Discussion Conference is considered to be the largest event in the Shenhua Domain today, and the content inside is naturally extremely rich. Therefore, no matter what kind of person you are, you can always find something of interest in it. If all of them act together, then if you want to watch the entire Dao Discussion Conference, I am afraid that the time for the conference is far from enough.
Ye Zan found Wu Changsheng and Mo Rushi, and after some discussion, they set a departure date.
As for the departure time, Wu Changsheng and the others originally calculated it based on rail transit. After all, there were too many people traveling this time, and it would definitely not be possible to rely solely on the two shuttles. However, Ye Zan made a fool of himself and directly proposed to postpone the departure date. As for why, you will know when you leave. Although Ye Zan didn't say the reason, but out of trust in him, Wu Changsheng and others didn't have too many doubts, and agreed to the departure date set by him.
Who told Ye Zan to be of a higher seniority!
Changing from the train to the plane, Yu Qingzong's departure date was postponed for more than half a month.
However, due to the postponement of the departure date, when some sects who were also going to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference approached and wanted to go with Yu Qingzong's team, Yu Qingzong had no choice but to refuse. It made those sects think that Yu Qingzong was going to give up participating in the Dao Discussion Conference. Moreover, they all knew that Taiyizong would definitely regard him as a threat if Yuqingzong's popularity soared, so it made sense not to participate.
It's just that if you don't participate in the Dao Discussion Conference, can you avoid being calculated by Tai Yizong? You must know that although all sects are not required to participate in this Dao Discussion Conference, none of the sects dare not give face to the upper sects. If Yu Qingzong really didn't go to the Dao Discussion Conference, it would be tantamount to handing over one of his handles to Tai Yizong.
Of course, although those sects had such speculations about Yu Qingzong, most of them still had the intention of watching the fun. In this peaceful age, the competition among various sects is still very fierce, but it is not as unscrupulous as it was in the turbulent period. Therefore, at this time, many sects are afraid that Yuqingzong and Taiyizong will tear their faces apart, and watch Yuqingzong fall to the bottom again under the blow of Taiyizong.
More than half a month, for a monk, it is just a blink of an eye.
Finally, when there was no movement from Yu Qingzong, almost all the monastic circles in this northwest place believed that guess. On the tarmac of Yuquan Peak of Emperor Yuqingzong, everyone who was going to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference had already gathered here.
This apron was originally used to park the shuttle, but now it has been enlarged again in a few days.
Originally, this was a small mountain peak with the peak cut off, but after expanding its area, it became like a huge mushroom with a flat umbrella. Then, from one side of the apron, there is a long bridge suspended in the air, which is connected to the main peak of Yuquan Peak. If, aside from the other surrounding scenery, just look at the apron and the long elevated bridge, it will have a bit of a technological world architecture.
Everyone gathered on one side of the apron, including Mo Rushi, who was full of curiosity, looking at the very empty and huge apron, guessing what strange things Ye Zan was going to bring out. Although some of them may have had a little imagination and guessed that Ye Zan would take out a bigger shuttle, they still couldn't believe it intellectually.
Ye Zan left his team, arrived at a point in the middle of the tarmac under everyone's gaze, and flew into the midair. Then, he took out the Token of Asgard, urging the token to open a huge channel in the sky. And with the opening of the passage, a steel giant slowly poked its head out from the other side of the passage, and then revealed its ferocious appearance in front of everyone bit by bit.
Since the reality of this world is full of threats that people have to guard against, Ye Zan chose an armed spaceship as a template instead of the early passenger aircraft on Earth.
Although the flight capability of that kind of passenger aircraft can meet the needs of long-distance travel, it does not have enough protection to deal with possible threats. You must know that in the early days of the technological world, passenger planes of that kind might crash into flying birds and cause accidents. Not to mention anything else, just the turbulence formed by the evil spirit in the high altitude, and the thunder that will leak down at some point, are not something that traditional airliners can compete with.
As for armed spaceships, it doesn't mean that those ordinary armors are much better than traditional airliners in the face of the threats in this world. However, such a design can at least give Ye Zan more room to play, and integrate some technologies of this world into the spaceship design.
The huge steel monster finally came out of the tunnel completely, showing its whole picture in front of Yu Qingzong's people. And seeing this steel monster, everyone including Mo Rushi couldn't help but gasped, their eyes were full of shock.
"This, could it be, could it be the flying boat in the ancient legend?" Someone looked at the sky bewilderedly, and murmured something that he didn't even believe.
"Flying a ship in the air? It shouldn't be! But if you say no, I really don't know how to call this thing." Some people still clearly denied other people's nonsense, but the curiosity and surprise in their hearts were no match. There are few others.
At this time, the armed passenger spaceship, under the control of the automatic control system, slowly landed on the apron, its huge body almost occupying half of the apron. And Ye Zan closed the passage of the Immortal Palace, and also fell from mid-air, before Mo Rushi and the others.
Seeing Ye Zan landed, Mo Rushi couldn't wait to step forward and asked: "Junior brother, what is this? Could it be the flying boat in the ancient legend!"
"Haha," Ye Zan couldn't help laughing, and then said to Mo Rushi: "Brother, you think too much, this is just a tool for traveling, not much different from the shuttle we used."
Of course, if we really talk about the specific configuration, and the technology used, there is still a big difference between the armed passenger spaceship and the shuttle. However, from a conceptual point of view, there is indeed not much difference between the two. They are both assembled with magical functional modules according to the design of the technological world. Ye Zan has also seen some records of flying boats, but he is not arrogant enough to think that this thing can be compared with flying boats.
In fact, in terms of adaptability in this world, even the main battleship of the federal army in the technological world cannot be compared to the legendary flying ship. You know, the flying boat can travel through the endless void, and it is an important tool of war for the ancient fairy courts to fight against the demon gods outside the sky.
After some explanations, Ye Zan finally let Mo Rushi and others have a general understanding of the armed passenger spaceship. However, after knowing the truth, Mo Rushi waited for others to breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time feel a little bit disappointed.
If this armed passenger spaceship is really the flying skyship in ancient legends, Mo Rushi would definitely not agree to it, and everyone will take this to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. The so-called "every man is innocent, but he is guilty of being pregnant", although Yuqingzong is developing well now, it has not yet reached the point where it can master the magical weapon of flying in the sky. If he really became the target of public criticism, Yu Qingzong would be crushed into scum by those big sects in an instant.
However, from a personal point of view, who doesn't want to have a taste of the elegance of ancient legends?
"Okay, don't stand still, go in and sit down and get ready to go." Ye Zan said loudly to everyone.
And the armed spaceship has also opened the login channel. Although it is facing all ascetics, it still lowers the long gangway. Everyone came back to their senses, and under the leadership of Mo Rushi and Ye Zan, they lined up in a fairly neat team and walked along the gangway to the armed spaceship.
For the interior of the spaceship, Ye Zan also changed some designs to make the style of the entire interior environment more in line with the aesthetics of this world. Therefore, after everyone came inside, apart from their original curiosity and surprise, they did not feel uncomfortable with the environment inside.
