Chapter 1684 The First Exhibition in the Heaven Realm
Demon Lord Dong Shu pressed the head of the cloud, and flew to Longyuan City openly and aboveboard. As a pinnacle quasi-sage, Demon Lord Dong Shu has his own pride.
However, in the past five months, the Shang Kingdom has been building with peace of mind here, but the Demon Realm has been raging with war.
Compared with the fairy world, the demon world lacks tolerance; seeing that the benefits are in sight, many demon kingdoms have begun to go crazy, and many hidden quasi-sages have come out of nowhere.
But there are only three Demon Kingdoms that are the most powerful: Ziyang Demon Kingdom, Qiankang Demon Kingdom, and Boundless Demon Kingdom.
Among them, the Ziyang Demon Kingdom is dominated by Junxian; this Demon Kingdom has the most abundant savings, and has obtained a lot of technology from the Shang Kingdom by any means, and is developing rapidly. Coupled with the support of Demon Lord Dong Shu behind him, it can be said that he is invincible.
Although the Qiankang Demon Kingdom has encountered twists and turns, after all, the foundation, foundation, technology, etc. are all there, and with previous experience, the development momentum of the Qiankang Demon Kingdom even exceeds that of the Ziyang Demon Kingdom. In addition, there are almost no powerful forces in the land of Jiuyuan that can stop the expansion of the Qiankang Demon Kingdom, so the current land area of the Qiankang Demon Kingdom has begun to approach five million miles.
In addition, the Qiankang Demon Kingdom that has developed has also received the support of the peak quasi-sage - the Nine Tribulations Demon Lord. And the Nine Tribulations Demon Lord and Dong Shu Demon Lord are still friends.
Finally, there is the kingdom of boundless magic. This is the weakest of the three demon kingdoms, but the Wuya Demon Kingdom is still stronger than the surrounding countries. In addition, since the war just started, the Wuya Demon Kingdom wiped out its old enemy, the Longyuan Demon Kingdom, in more than 20 days. In one fell swoop, the confidence of the Boundless Demon Kingdom was established. War is something that sometimes fights with confidence. Therefore, the Boundless Demon Kingdom has expanded a lot recently, and the momentum is strong.
Behind the Boundless Demon Kingdom is the support of the Martial Demon Monarch who also belongs to the pinnacle quasi-sage.
However, the heavens are very big, and the demon world is also very large. These three demon kingdoms are particularly outstanding, but there are other demon kingdoms that perform equally well, and they all have the support of quasi-sages.
In fact, most of what is going on in the Demon Realm now belongs to "internal merger wars", and they are all "mergers" within the sphere of influence of quasi-sages. Five years ago, Junxian 'personally directed' a merger, and gained the absolute support of Mojun Dong Shu. Then Junxian spent more than four years to demonstrate the power of "unification".
Demon Lord Dong Shu also felt that it would be great if he could integrate the countries in his sphere of influence into an empire. Therefore, a vigorous war broke out like this.
This is the case with Demon Lord Dong Shu, and it is also the case with other quasi-sages of the demonic way. In fact, at this point in time, it is almost possible to declare: the calamity has begun!
This time, the method of the calamity battle has completely changed. This time, it is no longer the quasi-sage who takes the lead and countless practitioners charge. Ordinary practitioners can only avoid the chaos of war.
This time, the battle of calamity is carried out in units of countries. The quasi-sages first strive to establish a huge 'military country', and then command such a military country to fight for the front. The national war concerns everyone—that is to say, there will be no bystanders in the new war, and everyone will be integrated into the "military state" machine.
As for Demon Lord Dong Shu, he has seen a lot, thought a lot, and heard Jun Xian say a lot, but Demon Lord Dong Shu is not someone who is easily satisfied. He thought about it and was going to ask Li Xian from Shang Kingdom. Although the recent expansion is very good, there has never been a 'perfect solution' in this world, and many small problems have appeared one after another during the expansion. Although many of them have been resolved, Demon Lord Dong Shu still wants to have a deeper understanding.
As for the new national wars and industrialized wars, Shang Guo is the expert. It just so happens that Shangguo has built a Longyeon City here, so let's come and have a look.
As soon as Demon Lord Dong Shu appeared, Lord Bixia Yuan appeared, "How dare you come here!"
Mojun Dong Shu laughed: "Mr. Bixia Yuan, you are still so beautiful. By the way, aren't you holding an exhibition here? Why, you dare not let me come?"
Bixia Yuanjun was taken aback for a moment, then snorted coldly, and disappeared little by little: "I just came to warn you, when you come here, you must obey the rules!"
Demon Lord Dong Shu bared his teeth and smiled, and when Lord Bixia Yuan disappeared, Demon Lord Dong Shu entered Longyuan City. He didn't directly find Li Xian, or Li Nuo, the person in charge of Yongyeon City, etc., but restrained his breath and began to observe, as a tourist, he began to observe.
This is an unprecedented exhibition, and it is also an unprecedented city. The exhibition, that is, the entrance of the city, has a large number of "service windows", and professional tour guides are provided here.
Demon Lord Dong Shu was very familiar with some of the models of the Shang Kingdom. Before he came to the window, he did not put on airs, and directly reported his identity, threw out a high-level fairy stone, and wanted to hire a team of people to be his tour guide.
A high-level fairy stone is equivalent to 100 middle-level fairy stones-in fact, there is often a high premium when exchanging high-level fairy stones for low-level fairy stones. In short, a piece of high-grade fairy stone is equivalent to 100 new coins of the Shang Dynasty, which is equivalent to 1 million old coins of the Shang Kingdom. This price is enough to hire a professional tour guide team.
The tour guide team here is not high-level, many of them are only 18 or 19 years old, and their cultivation level is around the stage of becoming a god. They all graduated from high school but did not go to university. However, it is enough to be a tour guide, and they all have received special training.
Moreover, using these 'children' as tour guides can also reduce the vigilance of various masters.
The tour guide group hired by Mojun Dong Shu has 20 people. It is a large tour guide group. It provides tour guide services for some national delegations. The team leader is a girl named "Li Xiaohe". However, customers are the first priority, and people are willing to spend money to do this. Shang Guo has absolutely no objection.
A piece of high-grade immortal stone can hire a team for ten days - that's right, Shangguo's services are so expensive.
"Although this is a city, after all, display is the core, and the core is science and technology and industry. I suggest starting from mining." Li Xiaohe is articulate, although the object of service at the moment is the pinnacle quasi-sage Well, the difference in status between the two cannot be counted, but so what, you have to listen to me in this professional field. When you come to the territory of the Shang country, you must abide by the rules of the Shang country!
Demon Lord Dong Shu nodded, and Demon Lord Dong Shu could see the little girl's thoughts clearly. She was a very arrogant girl from the Shang Dynasty, but she had no bad intentions.
Mojun Dong Shu got on the flying car, but asked: "Shang has many basic industries. It is said that the first rise of Shang started from textiles. Why do we need to look at mines first?"
"Senior, on the surface, it seems that the Shang Dynasty started from textiles, but that is the view of laymen. In fact, the Shang Dynasty started from metallurgy. The first time His Majesty Li Xian guided the reform, it started with iron and steel smelting, and then With bearing technology, textile machinery came later.
Weaving should be regarded as the beginning of industry, not the beginning of technology.
The reason why we look at mines first is because mines have technology and industry, and the development of mineral resources is the most basic. "
Mojun Dong Shu suddenly realized that technology and industry can be viewed in this way. Technology and industry are two completely different things. It's just that everyone is used to shouting and confuses the concepts of technology and industry. Don't look at this small problem, but it made Dong Shu Demon Lord Mao Sai suddenly enlightened.
Demon Lord Dong Shu is a senior after all, so he has to look like a senior. He waved his hand and threw a middle-level fairy stone: "That's right, I'll reward you."
"Thank you senior." Li Xiaohe smiled happily.
Soon I came to the mine, but found that it was already overcrowded. Quasi-sages from the fairy world and the Buddhist world gathered together, and several quasi-sages from the demon world gathered together, watching the surroundings carefully and observing. A large number of national delegations are studying and researching seriously. In addition to the human race, the various races are also dazzling.
"So many visitors!" Demon Lord Dong Shu was surprised, it seems that he came too late!
Li Xiaohe said with a smile: "This is just the beginning. It is expected that as time goes by, the number of viewers will increase. The official made a rough estimate. If the war continues, then the quasi-sages of the entire heaven may come to see it. "
Demon Lord Dong Shu nodded, and Li Xiaohe started to get busy. The mine in front is the most common black iron vein in the heaven, or it is iron ore with a little associated black iron. The content of black iron ore veins is very low, and those with a content of more than 5% are considered rich ore. Therefore, the smelting of spiritual materials is not an easy task.
In the past, the smelting of black iron was all "labour-intensive". A large number of low-level practitioners spent time and effort digging mountains, smashed the ore, and finally screened out the heavy black iron through the method of strong wind. . Then melt and smelt. Such black iron contains a lot of impurities.
Not to mention time-consuming and laborious, the efficiency is pitifully low. But this is the metallurgical method of the heavens in the past. Fortunately, there is a large population in the heavens, and many ordinary people make a living on this.
But here in Shang Kingdom, metallurgy has completely changed.
An excavator with a height of hundreds of meters can easily dig out a mountain top. After the ore is simply crushed, it enters the melting furnace with a size of tens of meters through the conveyor belt. All black iron or ordinary iron ore are melted together.
The melted liquid is divided into three layers, the lower layer is heavy black iron, the middle is reduced molten iron, and the upper layer is lava, etc. The lava is quickly discharged. The molten lava is not wasted, but poured into molds, or masonry, etc.
However, such molten iron also contains impurities. But it doesn't matter, the automated machinery started to stir the molten iron, a large amount of gray powder was poured into the molten iron, and various flames appeared above the molten iron, and brown 'smoke' appeared above the molten iron. During this process, almost one-tenth of the molten iron disappeared.
Finally all the molten iron enters an ultra-high pressure sealed furnace.
It was a huge machine like a hill, and the high temperature made the surrounding air a little distorted, and Demon Lord Dong Shu could feel the huge energy in it.
An hour later, the molten iron that was input into it flowed out from the other end, but the molten iron that flowed out was as crystal clear as ruby. The will of the quasi-sage Dong Shu was swept away, and his face changed. These molten irons are all black iron, and they are very pure!
The previously imported molten iron has been refined into dark iron.
"Using Shang Kingdom's latest technology, we can directly turn iron ore into black iron. In this way, the output of black iron has increased by ten thousand times, while the cost has dropped by thousands of times!
The black iron produced has reached the purity of three nines, and can be directly refined into general intermediate and high-level immortal weapons. Almost all the artifacts used by the golden immortals, excluding those used by the golden immortals, can be made from this molten iron. "
I saw the melted dark iron molten iron entering the molds one by one, and as the molten iron cooled, fairy artifact embryos appeared one by one, and as long as a little processing was done, they would become immortal artifacts!
This is just an ordinary mineral smelting base in Longyeon City of the Shang Kingdom, but it can already mass-produce fairy weapons here. Just at this moment, hundreds of thousands of intermediate and high-level immortal artifact embryos appeared, piling up like a mountain.
This factory is for demonstration purposes, so instead of producing standard iron ingots, it directly casts fairy artifacts.
The country of Shang is the country of Shang after all, and Mojun Dong Shu looked at the mountain of fairy artifacts piled up in front of him, which was hundreds of meters high, and he didn't know what to say.
Those fairy artifacts that used to make the gods fight for their heads, no matter whether it was flying swords or spears, etc., just piled up in the soil. And those young tour guides in Shang Kingdom turned a blind eye to these fairy artifacts and just walked on them.
Many representatives of small families and sects who came to visit have cried to death in the mud.
There is also a "wholesale window" next to it, and a staff member of the merchant country shouted: "Wholesale immortal artifact embryos, high-end immortal artifact embryos, 10 tons of SGD 100; intermediate immortal artifact embryos, 50 yuan and 10 tons. The batch starts at 500 tons .
Excuse me, we don't just sell. If you want to buy it alone, you can go to the front, where there are some private shops. "
Seeing this absurd scene, Demon Lord Dong Shu heaved a long sigh—the Ziyang Demon Kingdom needs to develop with peace of mind.
(Sorry for the delay. There's more tonight.)
