My Confucian Father

Chapter 66 Zhuge Qingfeng: My Mo family also wants to produce Mo sage!
Hearing Su Mu mention his origin, the red-haired bird talked about him from left to right, and he was reluctant to answer, so he changed the topic.

"Of course there is a difference between monsters and spirit beasts. Spirit beasts only absorb the aura of heaven and earth for cultivation, but they don't eat human flesh and blood."

"In order to pursue the speed of cultivation, there are many monsters who devour human flesh and suck blood to improve. Those are monsters."

"Master Bird, I am a serious spirit beast."

The big red-haired bird said proudly.

Monster beasts and spirit beasts both belong to the monster clan, the difference lies in whether they can eat people or not, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Spiritual beasts only rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, and the speed is relatively slow, but it will be relatively easy to advance to the third rank.

Monster beasts devour human flesh and blood, and even kill monsters of the same kind, so they improve their strength quite quickly, but at the same time, when they are promoted to the third rank, the catastrophe will also be extremely ferocious.

The two are different, but in the eyes of the human race, they are all monsters, and there is no difference.

It was the first time Su Mu heard this statement, and at the same time he understood why the Confucian sage let the red-haired bird and Jin Lin stay in the Zhenyao King's Mansion.

If the two of them had also eaten people, they would have been killed by the Confucian sage long ago, how could they still survive.

As for the specific origin and identity of the red-haired bird, it was unwilling to say, and Su Mu did not continue to press.

Anyway, he was just trying to figure out the origin of the Soul Concentrating Grass.

Although Soul Concentrating Grass is precious, he doesn't need it now.

This thing is not very useful to people, it is only useful to the big monster, but now he is not qualified to negotiate with the big monster, and he has no strength to make a deal.

Still have to think of other ways to engage in spiritual stone cultivation.

……

Zhuge Mansion.

It was already very late at night, but Zhuge Qingfeng still didn't rest, and the study room was brightly lit.

On the desk in front of him, there were one weapon blueprint after another, and he was looking at these blueprints, frowning and meditating, modifying them with the pencil in his hand from time to time.

"Squeak-"

There was a slight sound of opening the door, and Mrs. Zhuge walked into the study, holding a bowl of hot lotus seed soup on the tray in her hand.

"Qingfeng, I specially boiled lotus seed soup for you, drink some, it will clear your heart and relieve your fire."

As she spoke, she picked up the lotus seed soup and handed it to Zhuge Qingfeng.

Zhuge Qingfeng nodded slightly, took the lotus seed soup, and looked at the drawings while drinking, refusing to stop for a moment.

Seeing his serious look, Mrs. Zhuge was a little curious, so she picked up a drawing and looked at it, wondering: "Isn't this the design drawing of Hong Tianlei? It has been developed successfully, why do you need to modify it?"

The blueprints placed on the table are the various modified drawings of Hong Tianlei, there are more than 20 of them.

She doesn't understand why this weapon has already been successfully developed, but it still needs to be researched for various modifications.

"Hang Tianlei still has many flaws."

Zhuge Qingfeng shook his head and sighed, picked up an original blueprint of Hong Tianlei, and pointed to a certain place to explain to his wife.

"Look here, the barrel of the original Thunderbolt will overheat after being fired more than five times, damage the pattern, and eventually cause the weapon to fail as a whole."

"However, if it is replaced with a material with higher resistance than red black iron, the cost will more than double."

"In addition to this, there are still many problems, which were not discovered during the previous experiments. Although they are not very big, if these minor problems are not resolved, Hong Tianlei will not be able to mass-produce them at all."

Zhuge Qingfeng was quite clear in his heart.

Because in order to manufacture weapons on a large scale, quality, power, and cost are all indispensable, and a balance needs to be reached, not just doing it as you want.

Moreover, every weapon needs to go through hundreds of experiments before it can really be put into use on the battlefield.

You must know that on the battlefield, any mistake in the weapon may cause countless soldiers to sacrifice their lives.

"The manufacturing cost of Thunderbolt is not low, but what is even more terrifying is the spirit stones it consumes for each attack."

"So I need to try my best to extend the use time of Thunderbolt, reduce energy consumption and increase power at the same time, so that I can save a lot of spirit stones."

Zhuge Qingfeng revealed his purpose.

I took the opportunity to carry out Hong Tianlei at the National Day banquet before, in order to show the results in front of everyone and let them all notice the extraordinaryness of the Lingshi weapon, but Hong Tianlei is actually only a semi-finished product.

Of course, there is no problem with test firing, but as long as mass production is put into use, the defects will be exposed at once.

But Emperor Yan's order has been issued, and he has accepted it, so he must hurry up and perfect the defects.

Now that his reputation has been established, if Hong Tianlei shows a stretch in actual combat, it would be a real embarrassment.

So in any case, the failure rate of Hong Tianlei must be minimized, and all problems must be eliminated.

Mrs. Zhuge couldn't help asking after hearing the words: "In fact, it's not too late to expose Hong Tianlei after it's fully developed. Why are you so anxious to show it at the National Day banquet?"

She felt that Hong Tianlei's exposure was too hasty.

It's like rushing ducks to the shelves.

Although the performance at the National Day Banquet did attract a lot of attention, it was actually only a semi-finished product.

"How can I improve without putting a little pressure on myself?"

An unprecedented fiery color appeared in Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "On the Lingshi weapon, I saw the future of my Momen."

"Perhaps one day, our Mo Sect will also be able to research a weapon that can kill a third-rank powerhouse or even a saint, and a... Mo Sage of my Mo Sect will be born!"

"This road is destined to be bumpy, and I would like to be the pioneer, so I need pressure to push me!"

Zhuge Qingfeng didn't understand the principle of forbearance and development and then a blockbuster, but he didn't want to do that.

He just wants to use external pressure to force himself to break through himself, and go further and further on the road of Lingshi weapons. He hasn't had this kind of enthusiasm for a long time.

"Then you don't have to ponder here by yourself, can you call Bin'er and Yanran to help?"

"Don't forget, one of them came up with the concept of the spirit stone weapon, and the other created the first spirit stone weapon, which is much more talented than you, a Momen giant."

"Maybe they have some ideas."

Mrs. Zhuge suggested that Zhuge Qingfeng thinks here alone, it is better to brainstorm.

But Zhuge Qingfeng still shook his head: "Yanran's ability is not bad, but Bin'er is really not good, so I can't help you much."

"I was surprised to be able to propose the concept of spirit stone weapons this time. I don't expect him to provide any help."

Simply put, Zhuge Bin just can't do it.

Because Lingshi weapons contain formations and mechanism techniques, which require a lot of technical and theoretical knowledge, even the giants of Momen are struggling, let alone a half-assed like Zhuge Bin?

After talking so much, Zhuge Qingfeng felt a little bored, so he took his wife out of the study for a walk.

The two of them chatted along the way, and they naturally talked about the return of Confucian saints today.

"I heard from Tao Xianzhi that Confucian saints did not come back today in their own bodies, but through statues."

"His body was trapped somewhere in the Yaozu. This time he came back to get out of the trap with the jade seal... I really don't know what terrible place can trap him."

Zhuge Qingfeng's tone was full of emotion.

It was really hard for him to imagine that such a powerful figure as Confucian saint would be trapped for so long and unable to get out.

Mrs. Zhuge just wanted to speak, when she saw not far away, the servants of the house were carrying Zhuge Bin passing by.

After Su Mu left Shangbi Pavilion, Zhuge Bin and Tao An drank until late before returning home.

At this time, Zhuge Bin was reeking of alcohol and was unconscious, but he still held tightly the bicycle blueprints that Su Mu had given him in his arms, and refused to let go.

"You son of a bitch! Going to spend time and drink again!"

Zhuge Qingfeng felt annoyed when he saw this, and subconsciously touched the seven wolves around his waist.

Mrs. Zhuge next to him persuaded: "Bin'er is grown up now, don't worry about him being so strict."

"It's normal for them to go out to drink, drink and have fun with friends at this age. You should worry more if you don't go out of the house all day to do research like Yanran."

"How can she get married after she looks like this?"

Zhuge Qingfeng felt quite a headache, his son and daughter really broke his old father's heart.

Just when he was about to wave his hand to let the servant pass by, the blueprint in Zhuge Bin's arms caught his attention.

"what is this?"

Zhuge Qingfeng frowned, reached out and took the blueprint out of Zhuge Bin's arms, and flipped through it casually.

Then his eyes are completely attracted by the content!

Zhuge Qingfeng grabbed the blueprint with both hands, and read it carefully from beginning to end, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified and full of shock.

"What a delicate structure... what kind of car is this?"

The more Zhuge Qingfeng looked at it, the more he felt that the strangely shaped car in the drawings was quite ingeniously designed.

Although the principle and structure are simple, this idea can be called extremely creative, and the structure of many parts in it is something he has never seen before.

After looking carefully for a long time, Zhuge Bin looked at Zhuge Bin who was still asleep in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Could it be that this Nizi designed this?"

But as soon as this idea came up, he immediately denied it, because it was the first time for him to see the painters on the drawings, as well as the design methods and concepts!

This is definitely not something that Zhuge Bin can design!
But if this drawing was not drawn by Zhuge Bin, then who did it?

"Qingfeng, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhuge saw Zhuge Qingfeng looking at the drawing silently, so she stepped forward and asked.

"It's nothing."

Zhuge Qingfeng came back to his senses, then shook his head and said, but he had already made up his mind that he would ask Zhuge Bin tomorrow who designed this car.

The other party is definitely a great talent!
Carefully putting away the drawing, Zhuge Qingfeng asked his servants to carry Zhuge Bin away, then bid farewell to Mrs. Zhuge, and returned to the study to continue studying.

He felt that there was something interesting in the drawings.

……

Zhuge Bin slept until noon the next day.

The first thing he did after waking up was to feel if the drawings in his arms were still there.

But after looking over and over on his body, he couldn't find it.

"It's broken. Could it be that I drank too much last night and landed at Shangbi Pavilion?"

Zhuge Bin was startled, this is still a good situation, he was afraid that he lost it on the way home.

Regardless of washing up, Zhuge Bin left the residence directly, intending to ask the servants in the house first if he had seen his blueprint.

But he asked around and no one said he saw it.

This made Zhuge Bin even more nervous. It was the blueprint that Su Mu gave him, so what if he lost it like this?
"It doesn't matter, go directly to Shangbi Pavilion to find it!"

Zhuge Bin was about to set off immediately, and he felt that there was a high possibility of landing in Shangbi Pavilion.

But just as he was passing the garden in the mansion, he suddenly heard a crisp bell ringing, so he raised his eyes, his eyes widened, and his face was full of astonishment.

In the garden, Zhuge Qingfeng was riding a two-wheeled bicycle, circling around, with a very relaxed expression.

Noticing Zhuge Bin at the edge of the garden, Zhuge Qingfeng slid on the brakes, stopped in front of him gracefully, and said with a half-smile, "Yo, you woke up so early?"
