The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 448 Talisman Tactics, Element Conversion (4k)

"This pair of 'Shen Xiao Lightning Heavy Armor' is one of the heavy armor models developed by the 'Zhushan Workshop' before the Battle of Yangshan between Qin and Chu nine years ago. It was installed in the Yum Victory Army under the command of General Fan Dongliu of our dynasty. About two dozen were produced. Hundreds of tools can only be controlled by practitioners of at least the fourth realm."

The craftsman surnamed Zeng thought for a while and introduced: "As one of the standard military talismans today, in addition to certified and famous craftsmen, only generals and guests who have made sufficient achievements for Chu can privately Possession... otherwise it will be a felony if caught."

"There's no big use in buying this thing."

Chu Liuyun added: "The structure is too complex and the maintenance rate is extremely high. It must be maintained by a military craftsman. Even if it is secretly loaded into a car and transported away, it is not as practical as a flying sword if used in rivers and lakes. It can only be used in death battles." Comes in handy..."

The craftsman surnamed Zeng shook his head and said: "Furthermore, because each pair of True Essence Heavy Armor consumes too many rare materials, the cost is more than 100,000 gold, and the supply price starts at 150,000 gold, which is higher than the same price. The high-level flying swords are much more expensive, even if they are bought for collection, they are not very cost-effective..."

With their introduction, Zhao Qing also gradually understood the situation of this type of weapon: Zhenyuan Heavy Armor is actually a backbone force that fills the gap in the melee field of the army. It is equivalent to the positioning of heavy cavalry or tanks. It is used for Seize land control on the battlefield.

On the smoke-filled battlefield between the dynasties, when the light of the remote talismans that had been fired for several rounds gradually dimmed, and the armies converged like a torrent, at this moment, the thing that harvested the most lives of the soldiers the fastest was the flying sword flying at high speed.

Together with the top experts from the six realms and seven realms, they implemented various tactics, cutting the battlefield into independent spaces, and fiercely competing for air supremacy in each area.

"Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens." Since the You Dynasty created the dynasty era, the air control dominated by Feijian has been superior to the land control in the past. On the battlefield, once the air battle is lost, the flying sword will lose its ability to contain it. Strength, that has basically sealed the defeat and is irreversible.

However, war is never a one-dimensional contest. After all, a swordsman born in the fifth realm and sixth realm cannot be like a master in the seventh realm, suspended in the air like a wandering cloud and wild crane, ignoring all conventional attacks on the ground.

As long as they are caught in the melee in the later stages, they may encounter several low-level swordsmen rushing towards them at any time, as well as the collision of crossbow arrows and rune chariots pouring like a torrential rain. In many cases, they can only rely on the strength of themselves and their attendants to resist these sudden attacks. attack.

This is the important role of "land control". Coupled with various heavy-duty talismans that can threaten high-level practitioners, if you can gain a significant advantage on the ground, focus on killing the lone flying sword operator on the ground. , which can also influence the current battle situation to a certain extent.

As a result, specialized anti-flying sword forces soon became the main development direction of the military in various countries in the new era, which extended many paths. Among them, relying on elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, they launched attacks against flying sword operators. The tactics of charging were once regarded as a model.

Generally, practitioners and warriors wearing heavy armor are already difficult to be injured by ordinary weapons and cannot be pierced by sharp blades. If a more powerful team of practitioners is replaced with a thicker "True Essence Heavy Armor", they can achieve the goal of defending against divine will. Jing Fei Sword is not a frontal attack.

On the battlefield, these most elite soldiers can basically ignore the flying swords coming from the side. They only need to block some flying swords and giant arrows coming straight at them, and then they can focus on attacking the enemy formation head-on. Everywhere, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there were countless casualties.

The heavy armor worn by ordinary warriors and heavy knights, even if it is unusual, only weighs more than three hundred kilograms. However, the heavy armor worn by some practitioners is made of unique fine gold, and is equipped with many If you plant the corresponding weapon, it can easily weigh a thousand kilograms.

Because the runes of the True Essence Heavy Armor are the channels for the circulation of True Essence, which are almost the same as the meridians in the human body. The practitioner's True Essence flows in these precise runes, but he will not feel the heavy armor when he is in them. Heaviness, movement and speed are not much slower than usual.

These heavy armors were opened and closed on the battlefield, and they were rampant. In terms of killing and rushing into the formation of ordinary soldiers, they were even far more powerful than several practitioners using flying swords. They could easily plow a bloody path among ordinary soldiers.

The only flaw is that it is too heavy and must be worn by practitioners. Walking and fighting require some consumption of real energy. The durability is slightly insufficient, but because it eliminates many protective and evasive actions, there is no need to sense changes on the field all the time. , in many cases it saves energy and energy.

Nowadays, such as the Jin Ge Army of the Chu Dynasty, the You Jia Army of the Qin Dynasty, and the Yin Yuan Heavy Cavalry of the Yan Dynasty, they are all ace troops equipped with "True Yuan Heavy Armor". Their combat power is enough to crush ordinary soldiers hundreds of times. The army is extremely famous.

Most of the ordinary elites next to the "Heavy Armor Army" are also equipped with rune light armor made of exotic animal skins, bones, sky silk, spiritual spider silk and other materials, and the protection is pretty good - like the previous ones. The armored lizard, a specialty of Bashan, can be used for kneading leather armor.

It is worth mentioning that in order to reduce the interference when fighting high-level practitioners and strengthen protective power, famous generals of each dynasty basically have exclusive battle armors, but because the materials are more high-end, they are usually not very heavy. , can adapt to flexible air combat.

The "Netherworld Divine Armor" of the You Emperor himself in the past, the "Green Degree Armor" of the famous general Li Nian of the You Dynasty, the "Nirvana Snake Scale Armor" used by the current Emperor of Chu, and the "Thousand Mountains Cold Snow" of Wei Hou of the Qin Dynasty "A" and so on, are actually as widely circulated as many famous swords in the world, and are a hotly discussed topic among people in the market.

"The fixed price is three hundred thousand gold. Do you want to sell it?"

Although it was just a pair of mass-produced True Essence Heavy Armor, Zhao Qing, who saw this type of talisman for the first time, still wanted to study more, so he directly gave an extremely attractive price: "Even if it is 'scrapped' The True Essence Heavy Armor is enough to be used as a top-notch collection."

It can be seen that the two craftsmen actually wanted to sell this item, and specifically reminded "install it in the car", "collect it" and "supply price", so she naturally found one for it that would not be considered a controlled ordnance after being "scrapped". As an excuse, I bought it.

As for the bid of 300,000 kilograms of gold, it sounds very amazing. In fact, the "gold" here is different from the main world. It refers to copper rather than real gold, which is 300,000 kilograms of refined copper. According to the gold here The price of copper is equivalent to more than 2,000 kilograms of gold, and Zhao Qing can afford it.

However, they dare to sell anything. The cultivation sect is too "commercialized". It is no wonder that the Chu Dynasty has been infiltrated by various people. The management of private workshops is really unqualified. As long as the enemy secret agents can afford the price, they can Secret craftsmanship can be easily purchased.

"Deal!" After all, Chu Liuyun is a practitioner of the spiritual realm. This time, Chu Liuyun agreed much faster than the craftsman surnamed Zeng: "Once sold, there will be no returns... In addition, I have the carriage to transport the goods. It can be provided, and if repairs are needed in the future, the price can be reduced. ”

"A pair of heavy armor is missing. What excuse are you going to find to explain to the military?" Seeing the other party's agreement on the spot, Xia Mi was also curious: "Even if the report says it's scrapped, won't anyone come to verify it?"

"...Of course it's because I still have some really 'scrapped' heavy armor remnants on hand, harvested from cleaning up the battlefield before."

Having made an unprecedented amount of money, Chu Liuyun was in a good mood. He only hesitated for a moment before replying: "I would like to mention a few more words here. The 'Shenxiao Lightning Heavy Armor' mainly emphasizes mobility. Although its protective power is good, but It’s not as good as those top-notch heavy armors.”

"When encountering a special dark iron armor-piercing arrow, you must use a giant shield to block it. Rely on the reactive armor attached to the shield surface to reduce the damage. It tilts to release the force. Once hit from the front, there is a high probability that you will be seriously injured. In addition, some highly viscous kerosene bombs are also quite resistant to heavy armor..."

Just as the original intention of the development of Zhenyuan Heavy Armor was to counter flying swords, there are now many weapons specifically designed to counter heavy armor. Then Heavy Armor developed technologies such as "reactive armor", and they reached a certain ingenuity with each other. balance.

……

Soon, Zhao Qing bought all the talismans in the workshop together with the Shenxiao Lightning Heavy Armor, including two flying swords, three sets of flying needles, a heart-protecting mirror, a sword-controlling finger, a spirit-gathering kettle, Qi-sensing roulette and so on, totaling more than 500,000 gold. Thanks to the popularity of practicing hard skills outside, the productivity of civilians in the major dynasties is not low, and the per capita living conditions have almost reached the level of the peak feudal era in normal history. However, despite this, more than 500,000 gold is equivalent to a county. Taxes for several years.

Obviously, in today's era, official mining is more profitable than collecting agricultural taxes. Otherwise, the dynasty would not be able to afford thousands of true essence heavy armors, countless standard ordnance, and maintain the expenditure of millions of troops all year round.

The value of agricultural output is significantly lower than that of industrial output. In a sense, this type of dynasty of practitioners already belongs to an industrialized country.

Thousands of different runes are used in these various talisman tools. However, from Zhao Qing's current perspective, the central idea is to try to make them an extension of the practitioner's body. The flowing true energy blends together to drive the movement to perform specific moves.

In order to perfectly simulate the shape of "meridians" outside the body, high-quality symbols and runes need to be as fine and precise as possible, especially the "acupoints" where the true energy meets. The channels through which vitality flows are even more important.

For Zhao Qing, although she has refined a set of extremely powerful magic weapons, this is actually more of a casting skill. In the world of Sword Dynasty, it is the specialty of the Zhao Kingdom Sword Furnace, and she does not understand the systematic weapon refining technology. Not much, requires a lot of studying.

As for the exquisiteness of Chu utensils, except for the You Dynasty that was at its peak hundreds of years ago, it can be said to be the best in the world. It has developed to a very high level and depth. If you can understand its secrets, it will obviously be much better than your own amateur study. .

By then, Zhao Qing would have made up for one of his shortcomings and become a master in refining magic weapons. He could also draw parallels and more skillfully use the power of magic weapons and magic weapons.

Furthermore, with the help of the countless craftsmen of the Chu Dynasty, she was able to pool their wisdom and gradually implement several earth-shattering grand plans that transcended the times.

For example, building a rune spaceship, starting the mining and smelting of space spiritual minerals, making full use of various extraordinary spiritual minerals within the solar system, or developing a high-energy vitality particle accelerating collider to explore the nature of vitality.

But speaking of it, the craftsmanship of the talisman in this world also has some shortcomings.

Compared with the main world, those magical weapons that can release attacks from a distance are nothing more than the True Essence Heavy Armor and Flying Needle Flying Sword, which are often used head-on. Most of their runes are engraved outside, which makes them easy to be targeted. Destroyed, disturbed, damaged or even stripped away.

On the other hand, the treasure weapons and low-level magic weapons created by Yue Kingdom craftsmen all have internal patterns, and the distribution structure of various spiritual materials in the objects is used to adjust the vitality channels. Although the borrowing of the vitality of the outside world is slightly worse, It is far superior in terms of stability and is considered an extremely unique technology.

Given two bags of gems, Zhao Qing immediately left a spiritual imprint on the "Qingyu Sword" and flew it around for several times. He was not in a hurry to move the heavy armor of more than 1,000 kilograms, but continued to move it in the gorge. Jiang Gongfang walked around for a while, and then suddenly said to the craftsman surnamed Zeng who was accompanying him to entertain him:

"What mineral materials do you have here? Bring some black iron, fine gold, mind crystals, red copper, lead and mercury, etc."

"...Do you want to try to refine the talisman by yourself?" The craftsman surnamed Zeng was a little more cautious when he risked selling military weapons. He turned around and looked around. When he saw no one around, he asked in a low voice. :
"The mind crystals are not for sale. Dark iron, fine gold, etc. are 10% higher than the market price. Regular materials such as lead, mercury, and sulfur can be a few points cheaper than the market price if you buy more - how much do you want?"

"How many materials are needed to make two alchemy puppets and an alchemy matrix for element conversion?" Zhao Qing glanced at Xia Mi beside him, and sent a message with his spiritual mind: "With the quality of your 'alchemy master', I have to try Give it a try and put it to the test.”

"Element conversion array? What metal do you want to consume the 'Philosopher's Stone' on?" Xia Mi immediately replied with a rare spiritual voice: "Rhodium? Iridium? Calf? Francium? How difficult is this? It’s also different…”

In the legends of alchemists, the Philosopher's Stone is a stone that can turn all metals into gold. It is also a medicine that can make people immortal. It is the most sacred thing in alchemy.

But in fact, the real Philosopher's Stone is not so magical. It cannot be "turned into gold" by holding it directly in your hand. Instead, it must rely on a special element conversion matrix, and it must consume a certain proportion depending on the amount of conversion during operation. The Philosopher's Stone.

If you want to convert gold, depending on the raw materials and the efficiency of the conversion matrix, the ratio is roughly between 1:1000 and 1:10000. That is to say, 1 gram of Philosopher's Stone can only produce a few kilograms of gold. Under normal circumstances, , this is definitely not worth it.

As a Dragon King who understands the prices of precious metals, Xia Mi knows very well that the prices of many scarce metals are actually far higher than gold. In theory, it is naturally more cost-effective to convert them.

However, Zhao Qing's answer made her stunned, and she felt that the other party was really heroic: "The simplest conversion of lead into gold, please note that the matrix cannot be in a sealed form to facilitate my inspection and exploration."

Is it really a being that masters spiritual elements? The Philosopher's Stone obtained by the hunter was nothing to her! Since Zhao Qing has not explained in detail yet, Xia Mi is still more willing to believe that the other party is actually the White King Benlong who successfully escaped the Black King's clutches.

As for the alchemy puppets, although she herself is average in this regard, and the puppets she creates are far less powerful than those created by Norton, but if she can wear the heavy armor of true energy and adapt to the bonus effects of such talismans, it will be a sweep. A warrior of thousands of troops!
Although this guess was quite close to Zhao Qing's idea, she didn't know that the reason why Zhao Qing planned to observe the element conversion matrix was actually to study the changing process of atoms in it and try to deduce the possibility of guiding nuclear reactions with his spiritual thoughts. sex.

The exchange of spiritual thoughts between the two people is a long story, but in fact it only took a moment. Zhao Qing quickly purchased a batch of materials from the Xiajiang Workshop that were far more than what was needed to make these several alchemy tools. He almost lost it. The entire workshop was hollowed out.

"With so much material, what do you two plan to do?" Although he had a good impression of Zhao Qing, a major customer, the craftsman surnamed Zeng also had some suspicions that they might be Qin's secret spies, so he hesitated. After a while, he came closer and said:

"If you want to refine a talisman and feel that the skills of our workshop are not up to the task, my senior brother and I can also recommend you to go to the 'Tiangong Pavilion' or the 'Zhushan Workshop' and introduce the order to the 'famous craftsmen' there. ’ and ‘holy hands’, premium let them do it.”

"If you have a secret talisman drawing on hand and don't want it to be known to anyone, it is still safer to leave it to a regular talisman craftsman to make it. With our character, reputation and hands and fingers as the guarantee, it will never be leaked. Any guest information..."

Of course, if there is a real problem, you still have to report it.

"Since you said so, let me tell you." Zhao Qing nodded: "The talisman I plan to refine next is called: 'Infinite Food Production Divine Machine'."

……

One gram of californium is worth 2 million

The True Essence Heavy Armor refers to Ping Tiance, which has a world view similar to that of the Sword Dynasty, and the alchemy puppet refers to the snake-faced man sculpture in Norton Bronze City.

How about a fourth disaster, where you can control the alchemical puppets through mental connection and indirectly drive the Zhenyuan heavy armor (mecha)
