Chapter 892： Gap (4,000 words, 2 in 1)

Tiandou City, bombing the sky gang, martial arts field.

The red sun hangs high in the sky, and the hot sun seems to be in June, without the weather that spring should have at all.

A famous gangster helped the public to remove the black robes and evil spirit masks they usually wore, and sat cross-legged on the ground neatly, holding a copy of the Evocation Sutra, and some frowning and meditating, thinking about it. Some are whispering and communicating with each other to prove their ideas, and some have begun to try to practice according to the content of the book, but few people can persist in the face of extreme pain.

Under the hot sun, everyone was sweating with heat, but they didn't pay attention at all, and they were still immersed in learning and cultivation.

Leaning on the window sill, Yang Ming nodded secretly, withdrawing his gaze from outside the house, looking down at the crowd in full swing.

It seems that Xiao Wentian's ability to interpret and practice the "Summoning Sutra" in just one hour was just an accident. It is not that easy to popularize it.

This requires not only extremely high talents, but also strong perseverance, both of which are indispensable.

But think about it, if the "Summoning Demon Sutra" is so simple to learn, there will not be only a few people in the world of the tomb of God who have successfully practiced.

Yang Ming remembered his previous naive thoughts, and he also thought of the entire mainland manning a copy of "The Sutra", expanding the resurrection spare tire to hundreds of millions of levels, and achieving immortality. Obviously, he was thinking too much.

Having said that, this still cannot stop Yang Ming’s ambition to spread the "Evil Sutra". He has ordered people to organize a large number of people and began to print the "Evoke Sutra" in large quantities, which will be distributed for free at that time, and some are People who want to change their destiny through hard work will try.

As a result, he has to step up a little bit more about exploring the Sun and Moon Continent on the opposite side of the sea.

Thinking in this way, Yang Ming remembered that a few months ago, he had gone to Gengxin City to find the chairman of the Blacksmiths Association, one of the three great masters of the world, to help design the steamboat, and appointed him as the chief designer and The chief engineer, organized manpower to start the construction of the steamship, and I don't know what the progress is now.

Yang Ming left his office and went straight to Xuanwu Hall.

Xuanwutang, as the logistics and R&D department of the entire gang, gathered the best scientific researchers in the whole continent. Before Yang Ming arrived, he heard the roar of explosions from afar.

"It has long been heard that scientists are a group of lunatics. Even with the current level of technology in Douluo Continent, it is not enough for them to make any high-tech soul guidance equipment, and they can make such a big movement. This group of people really has Amazing destructive power, fortunately, they are all used by me now!"

Along the way, the antique pavilions, bright and spacious pavilions, small and exquisite elegant houses, etc. constitute a unique architectural complex, and the quiet white magnolia forest, ginkgo road and camphor trees, blue waves of small bridges and flowing water, form a fascinating building. Beautiful scenery.

Xuanwutang is located on the west side of the blasting gang. Looking past it, gray tiles and white walls, high gate towers, gate tower walls have exquisite carvings, and the roof carvings are more exquisite and beautiful. There is a set of continuous water system in the whole building, plus green The shade of the trees and the echoes of the mountains make people feel like they are in a fairyland.

The noon sun is dripping like a drizzle on the dreamlike house in front of you, sprinkling every corner of the dusty era, the air is filled with the fresh scent of plants, follow this smell to find, reflect What enters the pupil is a wall covered with moss on the outer wall.

Gently touching the cool rock with your fingers is very beautiful. Outside the window is a copper fence with a graceful figure. The top of the window is slightly curled, like a branch of sunflower leaves, making the rigid building and the woods next to it merge into one. Although the lacquer oil was corroded due to ancient times, it has a vicissitudes of beauty. The golden doorknob shines with a small light under the sunlight. Although it is small, it seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Pushing open the slightly obsolete door, the bright hall greeted you.

Everyone in it was busy, only a few raised their heads, took a moment to glance, and saw that the helper had come in person, and there was no enthusiasm as imagined. They simply said hello and continued to devote themselves to the work in their hands.

Yang Ming has also been surprised, because since Oscar has been involved in the research of elixirs, like the people here, he is relatively indifferent to foreign objects, but on the contrary, he is particularly enthusiastic about research.

The main part of Xuanwu Hall is more than 100 meters high, and it is the tallest building among the four halls.

According to the types of talents, Xuanwutang is roughly divided into several departments. One is the alchemy department, which specializes in the development and production of new pill medicines and the second is the hidden weapon department, which specializes in the development of new hidden weapons based on the drawings of Tangmen hidden weapons provided by Tang San. And the production of hidden weapons, the third is the logistics department, responsible for the entire gang’s fund planning, material rationing, wages and other functions, and the fourth is the refining department. This is where Yang Ming recruited people from the original blacksmiths’ association and divided some people here. , Specializing in the research and development of new weapons, soul guides, and production of weapons and soul guides. The fifth is the Shipbuilding Department, who is also a member of the original Blacksmiths Association, who only specializes in researching and developing new types of ships and production ships.

Each of the five major departments of Xuanwu Hall requires a lot of manpower. Therefore, the entire building is roughly divided into five parts.

Climbing up the steps, Yang Ming has already seen various factories are rushing to start production, according to the assembly line that he heard in his last life, the workers only need to do their own responsible work on the assembly line, greatly improving Work efficiency, finished products, like immortals and hidden weapons, are consumables that are sold in high demand. The market demand is extremely strong. Every time a box is produced, it is taken away and shipped to the warehouse for large quantities before it has been in place for a long time. Into the market under the empire.

A huge power is like a large ocean-going ship. Not only does it need top talent to **** it, but it also needs countless screws to make this power develop in the long term.

Seeing this hot scene, Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"996 is a blessing for young people."

No longer to take a closer look at the factory, Yang Ming walked towards the shipbuilding department.

Before stepping on the 20th floor where the Shipbuilding Department is located, I heard some clanging beatings. It was only when Yang Ming walked up to discover that the style of the Blacksmiths Association continued here. Every high-level blacksmith has his own In the private casting area, every blacksmith above the master level has a place of his own here.

It can be seen that every master-level blacksmith is no different from ordinary blacksmiths, shirtless, holding a hammer, and hammering heavily.

Each casting room has only a simple number, from the outermost to the innermost, there are a total of 108 casting rooms.

Obviously, after the Blacksmiths Association merged into the Explosive Heavens Gang, with the influence and appeal of the Explosive Heavens Gang, it recruited many grandmaster-level blacksmiths hidden in the folks, making the Blacksmith Association less than 36 grandmaster-level blacksmiths to gain the most. Big expansion.

Grandmaster-level blacksmiths are the existence second only to divine craftsmen, equivalent to the Contras in the spirit master level. Every grandmaster-level blacksmith can create powerful weapons and equipment, allowing a mortal army to obtain a reborn qualitative change.

However, no matter how powerful mortals have weapons and equipment, they still can't beat an army of soul masters. Unless they can make equipment suitable for soul masters, it will still be difficult to get Yang Ming's attention.

The reason why Yang Ming spent so much effort to dig out the entire blacksmiths' association was that they actually valued their ability to build a steamship capable of ocean-going sailing for him.

Yang Ming came to the outside of the high office of Shenjiang Building in a familiar way and knocked on the door three times.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After a while, a very hot voice came from the office.

"Who! Didn't you see that I was busy?"

"it's me."

Yang Mingdao.

The voice in the room stopped abruptly. It seems that the master craftsman Lou Gao felt that Yang Ming's voice was a bit familiar, and he was scratching his head and remembering who it was.

After a while, an old voice came from inside again.

"It turned out that the helper came in person. The old man is rude, and the old man is too busy now. Please help the Lord come in by himself."

It's just that there is no irritability in the voice, on the contrary, there is a little more flattering welcome. After all, you can't show the face of the gold master's father to anyone who looks at it.

Not long after his voice fell, accompanied by a series of machine noises, the wide iron door slowly slid open, revealing the bright room inside. Just like the original Blacksmiths Association, there were no windows in the entire office. So it is bright because there is a soul guide lamp hanging on the roof of the room, which is really quite luxurious.

For these people who are obsessed with scientific research, there are always some weird hobbies, and Yang Ming has already taken it off.

He raised his foot and stepped into the office. After a while, the iron door closed automatically again.

Yang Ming's gaze fell on an old man in the middle of the office. He was short and chubby, and his height was about 1.6 meters, but his waist was probably about 1.6 meters, with windy ears, small eyes, and a short, tousled hair. I don't know how many days I haven't washed it. I am wearing a large robe, and my chubby face is still stained with metal powder.

The short and fat old man in front of him was once the president of the Blacksmiths Association, and now the head of the shipbuilding department of the Xuanwu Hall of the Explosive Sky Gang.

At this moment, this somewhat fat old man is sitting on a metal chair with metal framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, holding a pen in his right hand and a steel ruler in his left, making gestures on a piece of rice paper.

"Old Lou, long time no see, how is the progress of steamship construction now?"

Hearing Yang Ming’s voice, Lou Gao stopped his movements and raised his head. He seemed to have some presbyopia. He supported the metal-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. After carefully looking at it, he saw Yang Ming’s face clearly. His eldest benefactor's father, Lou Gao wrinkled a chrysanthemum smile on his face, and said:

"Return to the gang master, speaking of it, thanks to your blessing. Since our Blacksmiths Association merged into the Bombing Heaven Gang, in the past six months or so, I have vigorously recruited grandmaster-level blacksmiths, and everyone brainstormed together and started brainstorming. In the shortest time, not only completed the original sketch of the old steamboat, but also put forward many improvement measures. Now the construction has started, but at present, only the entire large frame has been built, and there are many things in it. Without filling it in, things like the sailor's room and the captain's room are extremely crude, and it will take some time to polish them carefully."

When talking about this, Lou Gao raised his right hand embarrassedly, rubbing his index finger and thumb.

It seems that this kind of behavior of asking for money from the gold master's father is also rare for the height of the building, so that this master craftsman who is more than half a hundred years old can't help but blush and look a little embarrassed.

With a light brow jump, Yang Ming said "Oh" and asked:

"How much money is needed to finish the work soon?"

"Well..." Lou Gao scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said: "In fact, it's not too much, only 30 million gold soul coins."

"What, 30 million gold soul coins?"

Yang Ming was a little doubtful whether his ears were a problem, or that the old man like Lou Gao wanted to be greedy for ink, otherwise, how could he come up with such an exaggerated astronomical figure.

You know, 100 gold soul coins are enough for an ordinary family of four to spend a few months, 30 million gold soul coins are enough to buy more than a dozen thousand-year-level soul guides, and even a better ten thousand Year-level soul guide.

Perhaps because of Yang Ming’s misunderstanding, Lou Gao explained:

"Helper, don't be angry, please listen to the old man to explain it in detail."

Lou Gao held his fingers and counted one by one:

"Look, because our manufacturing equipment is not advanced enough, we can only work with human hands. Just hiring workers will need to hire 20,000 people. UU看书 is a lot of money. , As well as the raw materials for the construction of steamships. According to the requirements of the host, they can’t be made of wood. You have to replace them with steel plates. But we now need a lot of iron ore to build a catty of steel plates, which consumes a lot of money. At the same time, the efficiency is not high, and the whole process forms a lot of waste, which is also a lot of overhead."

Yang Ming sat down on the chair and rubbed his temples with a headache.

He had forgotten that the level of science and technology in Douluo Continent is not very high now. Even the building of weapons and equipment is done by manpower with a single hammer. For the very demanding steel plates, there is no special smelting equipment, such as medium frequency electric furnaces and pressure. Equipment such as beds requires even greater manpower and material resources.

It's just a pity that he was a liberal arts student before crossing, not a science student, and he didn't know anything about these things. Otherwise, he could guide the height of the building and design and manufacture a batch of smelting equipment first, so that it would get twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing Lou Gao staring at him with nodded head eagerly, it is hard for him. He depends on the face of the gold master's father. Yang Ming relieved his doubts, knowing that he was not greedy for money, his face eased a lot, and said:

"The money can be given to you, but you have to give me a satisfactory result."
