Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning observed the structure of the fort for a while, and then the two of them continued down, walking a few more feet, and reached the bottom of the tank.

There is a giant mechanical hand several feet tall and ten feet long on the left and right sides, each holding two red missiles.

"This is the Hongyun missile of our tank. It is a fourth-level light weapon. There is a hidden compartment under the bottom plate. As long as you push the handle above, the bottom plate opens and the giant mechanical hand can push the missile to the bottom of the tank, and then it It's ready to launch." Zhang Han walked to the front of the chariot, pulled out a triangular crystal block, and put it into the corresponding groove.

There was just a small scratching sound, and a ten-foot-long blackboard on the top automatically opened, and within a space of tens of feet in radius, groups of condensed white spherical objects squeezed each other and arched into a pile, squeezing the space inside. It's full and water-tight.

"This is the energy storage compartment of our chariot. These energy groups are the core of the entire chariot. Once the chariot is started, it will consume this energy. Until the energy is used up, the chariot can no longer start, just like the spirit in a monk's body. If the strength is average and the spiritual power is exhausted, the person will be unable to move. "

"What are these energy masses?"

"I can't figure it out."

"ah?"

"I don't know exactly what the energy groups are or how they were obtained. Only the highest level of the Merchant Alliance knows these core secrets. Currently, only the Merchant Alliance can create these energy groups, and none of the four major sects have this ability. "

"Then where did these warships and chariots come from?"

"We can make warships and chariots by ourselves, but not energy groups. We have to buy them from the merchant alliance at a high price. Without energy groups, warships and chariots are just a pile of scrap metal. The condensation of energy groups has always been a key factor in the spiritual practice world. No one except the top executives of the Merchant Alliance understands the mystery.”

Tang Ning nodded slightly, Zhang Han closed the top plate with a bang and took out the triangular crystal block: "The internal structure of the entire chariot is pretty much just these things. After each duty, a dedicated person will be responsible for maintenance and repairs, and the cannonballs and energy groups will be replenished. , before starting the chariot, we have to check it again to make sure it is correct."

The two returned to the top cabin of the tank. Zhang Han walked to the console at the front of the tank and clicked on the green button in the middle row. The tank suddenly made a loud rumbling sound, and then he slowly pushed the handle forward. , the chariot began to vibrate slightly, and gradually rose into the air.

"This is the starting step of the chariot. These are the handles that control the direction." Zhang Han drove the chariot in a circle and taught Tang Ning one by one the purpose and usage rules of each button, the hole handle, and the process lasted for about a moment. Zhong Fu returned to where he was and stopped.

"You probably know the functions of these control valves, buttons, and slots! That's it for today. It's enough to understand these. Practice makes perfect in the future." Zhang Han closed all the consoles and took out the dark green pentagon The stones, the light inside and outside the chariot disappeared in an instant.

The two opened the hatch, got out of the chariot, left here, and fled all the way back to the headquarters.

After that, Tang Ning only practiced in her room behind closed doors every day. Several months passed by in a flash.

At this hour of the day, it was the time when the column was taking turns to patrol and defend the city. Outside the main hall, more than a hundred people from the three brigades had all assembled and were divided into small groups and lined up neatly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a group of people filed out of the hall. The leader was Feng Hong, the captain of the third brigade. Behind him stood more than ten figures, including the inspectors, deputy captains and stewards of the third brigade.

"Let's go." Feng Hong waved his hand, and everyone jumped into the air, followed closely by a group of Nascent Soul monks. After walking for a short time, they arrived in front of a majestic palace, which was the alliance's meeting hall.

At that time, many monks had gathered in front of the hall, arranged neatly according to the team numbers. Everyone lined up directly into the third queue. As time went by, several more teams joined the overall queue.

Until around noon, a small black shadow appeared in the southwest. Everyone turned their heads and looked. The black shadow became larger and larger in everyone's field of vision. It was a warship hundreds of feet in size, with the three characters "Yanyu" flying on the bow. .

In the blink of an eye, the warship had reached the top of everyone's heads. At the same time, more than ten figures filed out of the hall. The leader was Zhuang Zhongde, the captain of the 6th Regiment. His body flashed and he jumped to the warship first. , and more than ten figures behind him followed closely.

Everyone jumped out of the light and walked to the top deck of the ship.

The warships roared loudly as they sailed out of the formation and arrived at the place where the vehicles, ships and spiritual weapons were docked.

Zhang Han led several members of his team off the Yanyu and walked directly to the tanks Qianjin and Yuejin.

The eleven-member team was immediately divided into two groups. One group was led by Deputy Team Peng Bin and Inspector Han Yue and drove the Yuejin. The other group was led by Zhang Han and drove forward.

Tang Ning followed Zhang Han into the chariot. In addition to Zhang Han, the other four members of this group were Wei Coffin, Cao Zida, Ma Yuanyu, and Su Nianwei.

Among them, Wei Coffin and Cao Zida are both middle-stage Golden Elixir cultivators, while Su Nianwei and Ma Yuanyu are only early-stage Golden Elixir cultivators.

There are four consoles in total, Zhang Han controls the one at the front of the chariot, Wei Coffin controls the one at the rear of the chariot, Cao Zida and Su Nianwei control the two on the left, and everyone returns to their place.

"This time our mission is still to be responsible for patrolling and defending the northeast corner of the city with a radius of thousands of miles. According to the old rules, we take turns." Zhang Han turned his hand, took out the pentagonal dark green stone, and put it into the groove, inside and outside the tank. Immediately, the light burst out, and the floor moved to both sides, revealing a passage.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, follow Daoist Ma down to check the internal conditions, check whether the barrel and turret are faulty, and whether the shells and energy groups are full."

The two nodded and said hello, and followed the passage straight down, less than a few feet away, to the compartment where the Xuanyuan Cannon was loaded.

But I saw the giant mechanical hand behind the cannon bursting with light, and the black light filled the entire space. As the giant mechanical hand slowly moved forward, the eight mysterious cannons on the left and right sides also slowly moved forward. After about a hundred breaths, , all eight gun barrels have been pushed out of the tank.

The light of the giant mechanical hand gradually extinguished and stopped moving forward.

"Check the number of shells." Ma Yuanyu said.

The two of them went to the left and right sides respectively, passed through the interlaced cannons, and came to the ends of the two ends, where three huge stone boxes were placed horizontally.

Tang Ning pushed open the search one by one. The fifty shells and ventilation tubes were neatly placed in the grooves. He closed the stone box and returned to the middle passage.

"How's it going? Is there no problem?" Ma Yuanyu asked proactively.

Tang Ning nodded, and the two of them continued to move down. In the third compartment, the red cloud beam of light and the gun barrel of the fort had been pushed out of the tank.

The two then returned to the console on top of the tank and reported to Zhang Han that everything was normal.

The chariot rumbled loudly and vibrated slightly inside, but it did not rise into the air. From the images in the two consoles on the left, Tang Ning saw that all the chariots surrounding it were glowing with light and trembling slightly, as if they were waiting for something.

About a quarter of an hour later, three wind spirit boats outside took off into the air and drove away. Many warships and chariots took off one after another, following the three wind spirit boats, and drove out of the light curtain together.

Hundreds of tanks and warships moved in an orderly manner. The Forward and the Yuejin ran side by side. There were eight red-armored tanks on the left and right sides, which were the other four squadron tanks of the third brigade. Each tank was separated from each other. About a hundred feet.

In addition to the left and right sides, there were also chariots at the front and rear. Ten of them were in a row, and the warships and chariots moved forward uniformly.

Tang Ning saw from the screen on the console that hundreds of warships and chariots were divided into dozens of ranks, advancing in an orderly manner. The scene was truly spectacular.

After driving for about two hours, a sentence suddenly came from the console in the cabin: Teams 1 to 5 were heading to the northeast, and teams 6 to 10 were heading to the southeast. A reply was received.

"The first team received it." Zhang Han replied immediately, controlling the chariot to drive northeast.

Looking from the console, the originally uniform forward formation suddenly transformed into a wild goose shape, and all the warships and chariots drove to both sides.

As time passed, several more orders came from the console, and many warships and chariots gradually separated, each heading in different directions.

The Forward and the Yuejin traveled for two days, and after being separated from the other tanks, they came to a high mountain, where two red-armored tanks were already waiting.

The Qianjin and Yuejin stopped beside it.

The upper hatch of the Yuejin opened, and a figure flashed out. It was Peng Bin, the deputy captain of the team. At the same time, a figure also flashed out of another tank.

Peng Bin chatted with them for a few words, and then each got into the chariot. The two chariots made a loud rumble, soared into the sky, headed toward the southwest, and disappeared after a while.

Zhang Han operated on the console for a while and then said: "Fellow Daoist Peng, you are responsible for the inspection in the south, and we are responsible for the inspection in the north. We have received a reply."

"Second group received." A voice came from the console.

The two chariots headed north and south respectively.

The chariot circled continuously in a radius of five hundred miles centered on this palace. On the first day, it only circled back and forth four times. It was already dark, and the chariot returned to this high mountain. Not long after, the Yuejin also arrived.

Everyone in the chariot went back to their houses to rest, leaving only Zhang Han to guard them.

There were ten rooms on the top floor of the chariot. Tang Ning chose one at random. It was about two feet in size and was empty except for a stone table and two stone benches. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and practiced without mentioning anything.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone left the room.

The chariot rumbled loudly and took off into the air. After circling the five hundred miles radius, it returned to this place. After resting for more than an hour, the chariot took off again and patrolled around.

In just two or three days, Tang Ning had roughly figured out the way forward.

Their inspection scope is a thousand miles in radius centered on this place. They usually patrol once every two hours, and then return to this high mountain. This thousand miles radius is full of high mountains and ridges. There are no people at all, only the occasional monk passing by.

Fenghua City has a radius of 300,000 miles, which is equivalent to ten new ports. The main roads inside are naturally extremely prosperous, but there are also many places with such barren mountains and lofty mountains.

Especially after this city was requisitioned as the frontline headquarters of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance, a large number of casual cultivators left, including many chambers of commerce and shops. Now most of the entire city is composed of disciples recruited by Xuanmen.

A few shops, gambling houses, and lofts are only on the main roads in the city. Naturally, there are few people in such a deserted place.
