Chapter 237 Thoughts about boats

Next, Long Xuan threw the Heaven-Building Pill into his mouth and used it in two ways by dividing his soul.

 While refining the power of the Heaven-Building Pill, he was researching the recipe for the Soul-Reviving Pill.

 He tried it, but he couldn't see the progress of dividing the soul, so he could only put aside the research ship first and research the soul restoration pill that could repair the soul.

 Mending the soul is the top priority, and it must be prioritized before building a big ship.

 When concentration is high, time always passes very quickly, and two months have passed in a flash.

　　Hard work paid off. After his unremitting efforts, he finally prepared the recipe for the soul-restoring elixir in the Soul Bookstore in two months.

There is no need to worry about the main ingredient of Soul Restoration Pill. Although the Soul Nourishing Wood was placed in the medicine garden, he did not bring it.

 But he still has the leaves of the soul-nurturing tree on him. After all, this is the ration of Tianmeng Dragon Silkworm, and he must have some on him at all times.

However, the main material is easy to deal with, but the other materials are not easy to deal with. Apart from the main material, he currently does not have any material on the pill side.

The Resurrection Pill requires seven thousand elixirs, among which there are countless rare elixirs of astonishing value, including a pile of thousand-year-old elixirs, which are extremely difficult to collect.

This time, he couldn't take a shortcut through Third Young Master, so he could only waste a lot of time, collecting bit by bit, and he didn't know how long it would take to complete the collection.

  In the following time, while he sent clones to collect materials for refining soul-restoring pills, he began to research the technology of large ships.

Once a ship reaches a certain size, it is no longer a spiritual weapon. It is a combination of spiritual weapon and formation, and is considered another type of treasure.

 Is it easy to combine the weapon patterns and formation patterns? Therefore, it is not possible for any force to build a big ship if it wants to.

 Large ship technology is a technical job, and there are very few forces that master the technology of building large ships.

Long Xuan named his unborn ship Shenlong.

 I have mastered the technology of utilizing solar energy from the Empress’ Tomb, so I must arrange it for the Shenlong.

The materials for the Five Elements Upside Down Array have now been collected. He also needs to place the Five Elements Upside Down Array on the ship to further enhance the Shenlong's defense.

Long Xuan was confident that he could solve the Shenlong's defense problem. The only thing that troubled him was the ship's power problem. The power problem of a ship was the top priority.

There are many ways to increase power for ships in this world, such as hanging sails on the ship and then using formations to create strong hurricanes. The ship's speed is beyond imagination.

 You can also carve formations on the bottom of the ship to reduce the weight of the hull, and you can even control the movement of seawater through the formations, allowing the seawater to push the hull forward, making the ship move very fast.

 Some spirit ships also have automatically rotating oars, allowing them to sail quickly without the need for manpower.

 In this magical world, there are too many ways to provide power for ships.

 The only difficulty is that the hull surface area is limited, and only one, or two or three types of formations can be used to power the ship.

 Once too many formations are used to provide speed to the ship, it will inevitably lead to insufficient space for defensive formations, thereby reducing the ship's defense.

 The hull area is limited, and you cannot have both. Whether to build a strong ship or a fast ship, you can only choose one of the two, or evenly distribute them, resulting in mediocre attributes of the ship in all aspects.

What's more, the formations that need to exist on the ship are far more than these two, which requires the shipbuilder to carefully calculate the formations on the ship. It is not possible to carve any formations he wants.

However, Long Xuan immediately decided that his Shenlong must have all the formations that provide power for the ship, and his Shenlong must become the first fast ship of its level.

As for the problem that there are too many formations to carve, he doesn't need to consider it at all. Under the eyes of Tianji, he can carve as many formations as he wants, and his Shenlong can accommodate them all.

So Long Xuan didn't need to rack his brains to think about how to lay out the formation like other shipbuilders. He didn't get stuck at all. It didn't take long for him to complete the sketch of the Shenlong.

Long Xuan held up this sketch of a large ship and showed a satisfied smile.

 The appearance of the Shenlong has now been determined by him.

 After all, his soul does not belong to this world, so many of the shape and structure of the ship refer to previous lives. There are even three huge propellers on the hull.

You must know that propellers are something from the previous life and do not exist in this world. This is undoubtedly a huge innovation in this world.

Since there is technology in this world that can make the propeller slide on its own, it is not difficult to make the propeller spin by referring to this technology, and it may even be faster than in the previous life.

He believes that the power provided by propellers is definitely greater than propeller power, so it is necessary to develop propeller technology.

If he didn't really understand nuclear energy, he would have to research nuclear power, and then his ship would be even more terrifying.

In addition, on a whim, he also designed a huge cannon for the Shenlong. In this sketch of the Shenlong, this cannon is extremely huge, very conspicuous, and incredibly powerful at a glance.

The Shenlong is a high-sea warship. How can it do it without cannons? So Long Xuan was so imaginative that he simply designed a giant cannon by himself.

 He has seen the Lingshi cannons of the Dayin Dynasty, and the Long family has captured a lot of them, so he knows the technology of the Lingshi cannons.

 But the power of the Lingshi Cannon was still a bit low, so he decided to increase the size of the Lingshi Cannon without thinking. It was so big that it could only be fixed on the ship and could not be propelled manually.

 The larger the cannon is, the larger the shells it needs will be, and the power of the shell explosion will naturally be greater. This is obvious.

Moreover, Long Xuan also plans to improve the technology of the spirit stone cannon.

For example, the Lingshi Cannon can only consume low-grade Lingshi. In his opinion, the energy of the low-grade Lingshi is too small. What if it uses high-grade Lingshi or the best Lingshi?

As soon as this idea came up, Long Xuan couldn't wait to try it.

Using the best spiritual stones as cannonballs is definitely a genius's idea. No normal person would dare to spend money like this. This kind of technology naturally does not exist in this world.

Of course, Long Xuan would be reluctant to use top-quality spiritual stones as cannonballs, but he could still afford to use high-quality spiritual stones as cannonballs. It would be good to fire a few cannons on the sea occasionally. If you have nothing to do, just listen to the sound and let it go. But the level of the best spiritual stone cannot be canceled. It can be used without it, but it cannot be eliminated.

In case of encountering an invincible and powerful enemy, a giant cannon using top-grade spiritual stones as cannonballs might work wonders.

With such fantastic thoughts, the Gu world’s largest cannon is about to be born, and we don’t know what kind of sensation his cannon will cause.

This is not over yet. Long Xuan also thought about whether he could use the gravity formation to press the Shenlong into the bottom of the water, so that it could undergo a second form change and transform into the form of a submarine, so that the Shenlong could travel underwater like a submarine. .

I don’t know if the concept of submarines exists in this world, but he thinks I can give it a try. This may be another great innovation in the shipbuilding industry. Long Xuan's eyes lit up.

Next, Long Xuan was refining the power of the Sky-Building Pill while studying the drawings of the Shenlong. At the same time, he asked Alchemy Rabbit and his clones to refine the pills frantically to accumulate resources for him to build the Shenlong and materials for refining the Soul-Reviving Pill.

Refining the soul-restoring pill has to be ranked higher than building the Shenlong, so Long Xuan has always prioritized collecting the materials for the soul-restoring pill.

As for the materials for making the three-legged golden toad, he has limited financial resources, so he can only put them away first.

Refining the three-legged golden toad requires 200,000 materials. After being modified by him, the Gu recipe must be far more than 200,000 materials. There are countless top-grade spiritual insects that need to be used. How can this be his current net worth? What can be easily tolerated can only be considered in the long term.

It's a coincidence that his current location is right on the sea, and there is a seaside city called Xinghai City nearby. It is the largest port in the Xuanyue Empire, and it is also the largest shipbuilding yard in the Xuanyue Empire. It is also connected to all major regions. It is the largest trading port for maritime trade, with countless large and small ships anchored here.

So if Long Xuan doesn't understand something, he can just go to the original world and copy those big ships, and then dismantle those big ships in the illusion. What technology can't he understand?

So his progress in studying the Shenlong blueprints was extremely fast. He did not have any delays in the whole process and completed it in one go.

 Any problem can be easily solved by him. In the Soul Bookstore, he successfully researched the Shenlong blueprint in just four months.

 Including giant cannon technology and propeller technology, he successfully developed them.

Now as long as the materials are ready, he can start building the ship.

Long Xuan was very excited and wished he could go out and build this big ship that was far ahead of the world.

At the same time, it took him half a year to finally repair his qualifications. It was really a double blessing.

But there are also bad things. In order to quickly collect soul restoration pill materials and shipbuilding materials, he ordered his clones to go around selling pills.

Since the nearby Gu cultivators are basically concentrated in Xinghai City, the flame clone simply rented a small shop in the city to do the elixir business.

 However, this elixir shop has become very popular not long after it opened. Every day, the business is booming. There is an endless stream of people coming to buy elixirs, and the threshold is almost broken.

 Because at the same price, the elixirs produced by Long Xuan are far more powerful than those of his peers. Those who have bought his elixirs will naturally only identify this store and become loyal repeat customers.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Even if Long Xuan opened his business without any publicity, after a period of word-of-mouth fermentation, it was enough to make him famous.

Now everyone in the city knows that a very awesome alchemist has come to Xinghai City. His alchemy skills are the best in Xinghai City. He is praised as the best alchemist in Xinghai City by the majority of Gu cultivators. His alchemy skills are so superb that the entire Xinghai City No alchemist can match it.

 Helping and killing! This is definitely flattering! They are trying to kill me! After Long Xuan heard that he had become the number one alchemist in Xinghai City for no reason, his whole body went numb.

He also didn’t expect that he, a mere second-grade alchemist, could directly win the title of the number one alchemist in Xinghai City.

This title is easily hated by his peers, and it is too attracting attention. He really doesn’t want it!

“Didn’t I ask you to keep some alms? Why did I just stay in seclusion for a few months and you found such a big trap for me!”

 In the Seed of the World Tree, Long Xuan immediately kicked the flame clone with a black face.

The flame clone also scratched his head and said blankly: "Have I withdrawn my strength? I really only used 30% of my strength. If I withdraw my strength any more, there will be a failure rate and a lot of materials will be wasted!"

Long Xuan is speechless…

"Forget it! Just be high-profile. It's not a life-threatening matter. How have you been collecting the materials for the Soul Restoration Pill in the past four months? How much is left?" Long Xuan sighed helplessly, thinking of business, and asked again.

“I hung a list of the materials we need in the elixir shop, so those Gu cultivators who want to buy elixirs can only use the materials on the wall in exchange.”

“It’s faster to collect materials this way. I’ve already collected seven or eight materials for the Soul Restoration Pill.”

“However, it is obviously impossible to collect the rarest materials without taking out more valuable elixirs.”

“Especially those thousand-year-old elixirs, very few people are willing to trade them unless they come up with something that makes them particularly excited.”

“Currently, there are only one hundred materials for the Soul Restoration Pill. These one hundred materials are all the most valuable materials in the Soul Restoration Pill recipe. They are basically millennium elixirs and are extremely difficult to collect.”

“If you want to collect these one hundred kinds of materials, I’m afraid you need to participate in a high-level trade fair.”

“And I found out that in half a month, Xinghai City will hold a trade fair for Gu cultivation in the marrow cleansing stage. The standards of this trade fair are extremely high.”

“As far as I know, Xinghai City is the largest port in the Xuanyue Empire. Gu cultivators from different regions gather here. The business is extremely prosperous and the supplies are very complete.”

“As long as the things we bring out are attractive enough, we can definitely collect all the Soul Restoration Pill materials in this city.”

"And all the rare materials needed to refine the Shenlong can be collected in this city, because this is the largest shipyard in the Xuanyue Empire. It all depends on whether you are willing to spend money."

“The fair in half a month will gather a large number of Gu cultivators from different regions. Those who are not rich and powerful cannot participate. This is completely our opportunity.”

“However, we need to prepare a large number of trading items that can be used. It is best that this trading item is universal and has a fatal temptation for all marrow cleansing Gu cultivators.”
