Chapter 302

Since the imperial spirit tripod took the initiative to absorb the void Qi, the bottleneck of Lu Xiana's realm, which he thought would take a few more months to loosen, suddenly became a natural one. If he was not afraid that this change would affect the foundation of cultivation and deliberately suppress the movement of the true element in his body, he might have penetrated all the Qi cavities in the three yin meridians and entered the second grade of imperial Qi.

At this time, Lu que had a feeling that only by reuniting Aoki, breaking the shackles of Aoki and resuming the human pilgrimage, could the human race get out of the way. Otherwise, at some time in the future, there would be a disaster more terrible than the tide of Jedi beasts.

This is also the reason why Lu que insisted on destroying the animal tide instead of relying on Zhennan Xiongguan to wait for the animal tide to recede. Since the tide of Jedi beasts is related to the fate of the human Dynasty, the tide of heaven and earth may be favored after the tide of beasts is annihilated, just like the tide of beasts after the founding of the empress. After the tide of beasts is annihilated, Daqian has gone smoothly for more than 200 years, from a new country to the most powerful country on the Qingmu continent step by step.

Although this is only Lu Que's own guess, which can't be confirmed from the historical records in the past, Lu que still wants to have a try, because once this is true, it will affect the formulation of national policies after Daqian, and the goal of later emperors and ministers is not only to restore the territory of the three dynasties after Dayan, but to unify Qingmu and rebuild the holy Dynasty.

And because he knows some ancient secrets, Lu que knows very well that there are hundreds of tribes under the heaven, and the heaven and earth's Qi luck doesn't only love the human race. If he doesn't fight, he will be abandoned by Qi luck sooner or later. At that time, even with the protection of the green wood law, he can't guarantee the inheritance of the human race. Since he was born a man, the fate of the human race is closely related to him. No matter how indifferent he is, he will not ignore it. And Lu que also wanted to see what it would be like when the Terrans were unified again and the shackles of Aoki were opened.

In addition, he and Xiaobai are friends who grew up together. It can be said that in addition to his parents, Xiaobai ranks third in Lu Que's heart. Even Gu Qingcheng can't compare with Xiaobai now. He doesn't want to repeat the ending of the previous generation of Lingshou in Xiaobai.

"It's a natural mission for the Royal spirit beast to control the spirits of heaven and earth and be the king of all spirits. It's the same with the early Royal spirit beast and Xiaobai." Lu said with some emotion.

Lu que can feel that Xiaobai wants to never come back to the mountain to face the tide of animals after he wakes up. Of course, he has many years of friendship with him, but it's more about his natural duty to protect the human race. The warlord may not be in charge of the battle within the Terran, but when the tide of beasts comes, the Warlord's natural mission makes it necessary to stop it.

The reason why Lu que thinks so is that when he looked up the ancient books, he found that all the Jedi animal tides recorded in the ancient books started from the death of Dayan. Lu que didn't know whether there would be any animal tides in the future with the growth of Yuling beast Xiaobai, but he was sure that there would be no animal tides before the disappearance of the early Yuling beast.

"After all, the spirit beast is still young. Can it really compete with the Jedi and other beasts, even the spirit beast?" Yu Chuqing is still a little worried. If the beast king from xiyuanze is a divine beast, even if the power of the divine beast will be suppressed by the green wood rule, it is not something that ordinary people can match. He had seen the Royal spirit beast in bugui mountain before, and Yu Chuqing still has great confidence in it. However, after listening to Lu Chun's details of the battle of Dayan's destruction, Yu Chuqing's confidence will not waver, You should know that the spirit beast of heaven level is equal to the saint of the human race, but the spirit beast is more than the spirit beast of heaven level.

"Mother, don't worry, I believe Xiaobai, even if he can't win in Qingmu, at least he won't lose." Speaking of this, Lu que touched his chest and said, "besides, we still have the spirit cauldron in our hands. Although the cauldron is not complete now, it is the artifact that Emperor Yan set up in the world at that time. Even if it is the beast that leads the animal tide, we should avoid three points when we see the cauldron."

Thinking of the Yanhuang Ding, which is known as the first Ding of the human race, and the relationship between the Yanhuang Ding and the Royal beast, Yu Chuqing's worry was relieved. After thinking about it, she asked, "queer, resisting the tide of beasts is different from fighting in the country. Is there anything that Wei Niang can help you?"

"This ~" Lu que pondered for a moment and said, "there's one thing I really need my mother's help. My child needs a lot of casting materials. Can my mother ask her majesty to allocate a batch of materials to Qingquan city? Also, can mother invite Feng's family and Ou's family to Qingquan city

"You need gold and iron again, and you need the help of Bailian family and Shengzhu family. What are you trying to build?" Yu Chuqing frowned when she heard that it was nothing to allocate a batch of casting materials. She asked the family of Bai Lian Feng and the family of Sheng Zhu for help, so she could make friends with them. But she had to know what Lu que wanted to do to mobilize these resources. You should know that although Daqian is very powerful in martial arts, some things can't be owned by himself. Now her son has aroused many people's vigilance and hostility because of his power. She doesn't want her son to be criticized for some omissions.

"I want to build a batch of large-scale war weapons, such as Thunderbolt chariots and mystery crossbows. These things may have miraculous effects in the face of the tide of beasts." General Lu Que's intention came out directly. There was a lot he needed. The casting division of the Ministry of war could not find out what he needed for a moment. That's why he came up with the idea to the Bailian family and the Shengzhu family.

"Thunderbolt?" Yu Chuqing took a breath when she heard the words. The Xuanji crossbow in Lu Qiaokou is a medium-sized continuous firing bed crossbow, which is generally equipped on the large warships of Hanhai and Jinghai armies. Although the manufacturing process is a little complicated, there are still some stocks in the military depot, and there are many skilled craftsmen in the casting department of the Ministry of war and Daye Department of the Ministry of industry, who are proficient in the casting of Xuanji crossbow.

But the thunderbolt cart is different. Although the thunderbolt cart is also a kind of catapult, it is essentially different from the ordinary wooden catapult. All the parts of the thunderbolt cart are made of metal, and then they are linked by the mechanism to throw out the boulder. It takes thousands of Jin to cast a thunderbolt cart, and its mold is also specially made. Another reason is that the thunderbolt vehicle can be easily transported, and all parts can be disassembled and assembled. The complexity of its technology is the pinnacle of all war weapons.

Thunderbolt car, also known as Thunderbolt train, throws not stones, but fireballs after special treatment. It is the most powerful weapon in the world. However, because of too much consumption and too complex process, Daqian has not made any more thunderbolt vehicles since Emperor Wu, and most of them have been remelted to cast armor. Now, more than 100 years later, less than 20 thunderbolt vehicles still exist in Daqian.

Yu Chuqing also knows that although the drawings for casting the thunderbolt car are still kept in the military department and the Imperial Palace Library, the molds for casting the parts of the thunderbolt car have been destroyed. If you want to recast the thunderbolt car, you must first cast the molds. The amount of work is not small, and the manpower and material resources required are even more shocking.

"Queer, how many thunderbolt cars do you want to build?" Yu Chuqing thought for a long time before she made up her mind and looked at Lu que.

"A thousand." Lu Que's lips wriggled and said a number that surprised Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing. You know, there are three kinds of thunderbolt cars, large, medium and small. The small one weighs about 1500 Jin, the medium one is about 4000 Jin, and the large one is nearly 10000 Jin. Even if the thunderbolt cars in the gap are small, a thousand need 150 Jin of all kinds of metals. You should know that this is not only ordinary iron ore, but many parts of thunderbolt cars need rare metals like Tongyun iron and Yunwen steel. So it's just the cost of materials, which is an astronomical figure.

And it's just materials. The number of skilled craftsmen needed to cast a thousand thunderbolt cars is also a huge number. Because the tide of animals is approaching and time is running out, this number will only be larger than what they predicted, but not smaller.

Just when Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing were looking at their son and didn't know what to say, Lu que scratched his head and said with embarrassment, "mother, what a child needs is not only that, but also the black fire oil and the fierce fire oil extracted from the black fire oil. The more the better."

"This ~" Yu Chuqing and Lu Chun look at each other, and both of them look embarrassed. Although the amount of all kinds of metals and fierce fire oil is huge, it's nothing for the big Daqian. With the stock of Daqian's Treasury, let alone one million jin, even ten million jin can be taken out, but what worries them is time.

In other words, there is not much time left before the outbreak of Xiyuan animal tide. It is not easy to recast the mold and then make the finished product in such a short time. In addition, Daqian hasn't cast a thunderbolt car for more than 100 years. Although there are drawings left, there will inevitably be some problems in the process of casting. Even with the help of people from Shengzhu aristocratic family and Bailian aristocratic family, the time consumed for problems can only be shortened, but it can't be avoided. In order to cast finished products that can be put into actual combat immediately in a short time now, It's almost impossible.

"Queer, it takes time to build thunderbolt cars. A thousand thunderbolt cars. When do you want them?" After thinking for a while, Yu Chuqing asked with a serious face.

"In two months, if a thousand thunderbolt cars and fierce fire oil arrive at zhennanguan in two months, we will have at least one more level of confidence in dealing with the animal tide children." Lu que also knew that it was hard for him to do so, but if he wanted to finish the battle, he could not do without thunderbolt cars. A thousand were already the minimum number he had estimated. No matter how few, it would affect his mind.

"Do you have a chance to win?" Yu Chuqing thought about it for a while, and then she said, "OK, I promise you that there will be a thousand thunderbolt trucks arriving at zhennanguan in two months."

"The place where thunderbolt car is cast can't be placed in Qingquan city." At this time, Lu Chun, who has been looking at the tea in the cup, raised his head and said.

Without waiting for Lu que to ask, Yu Chuqing said, "where is it? Qingquan city is the largest city in the south, and it also has canals. If the wind is favorable, large official ships can reach the river port north of zhennanguan within ten days. Now it's winter, and it's the north wind. There should be no place more suitable than Qingquan city. "

"Qing'er, Que'er, although Qingquan city is advantaged by nature, have you ever thought about how large a site, how many smelting workshops and how many skilled craftsmen are needed to cast the mold first and then the thunderbolt car?"

"This ~" Lu que hesitated for a moment, then understood his father Lu Chun's meaning, and asked, "does Father mean to put the foundry in Liancheng County?"

Lu Chun nodded. "Yes, Liancheng County and Daye county are the two largest smelting and casting places in the north and south of Daqian. Whether it's tools and farming tools used by the people or weapons and armor used by the army, 90% of Chengdu comes from these two places, and Liancheng County is also one of the twelve counties in southern Xinjiang, where Qingquan city does not have the advantages, There are not only enough smelting and casting workshops, but also enough skilled craftsmen. In the case of no shortage of ore and ingots, only there can such a number of thunderbolt cars be cast in a short time. And the taolang River in Liancheng County is also directly connected to the canal, which will not delay much in transportation time. "

"My father is right, but my child is not thoughtful." Lu que also nodded his head when he heard that he admired his father even more. In such a short period of time, his father Lu Chun considered every aspect of the matter. His meticulous thought was better than his. He only thought that Qingquan city was a big city in southern Xinjiang and had the convenience of water conservancy, but ignored that the workshops there were not enough to support such a large-scale casting operation.

"Queer, the thunderbolt car is my secret. Its casting drawings and technology must not be leaked. You should at least send a battalion of soldiers to guard Liancheng County. In addition, some of the craftsmen who participated in the casting were later taken over by the Ministry of war and became the casting division of the Daqian army. The craftsmen were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of war. " Lu Chun solemnly reminds his son.

The thunderbolt vehicle and the fireball are the most powerful siege weapons in the world. Even the majestic passes like Piaoxue pass, Hanshan pass and Zhennan pass can not withstand the bombardment of the thunderbolt vehicle day and night. Therefore, all the processes related to the thunderbolt vehicle, whether the mold making, the production process, or the metal smelting ratio, can not be disclosed. If these things fall into the hands of potential enemies and are dealt with by thunderbolt vehicles one day, Daqian will lose a lot.

"I understand." After listening to his father's solemn words, Lu que also nodded his head seriously. He naturally understood what his father was worried about, and he could not allow such things. As for the craftsmen, Lu que didn't think much about it. Many craftsmen can't wait to become the official craftsmen of the military casting department. Although their freedom will be limited to a certain extent after that, it is a good thing for the families behind them. Because although the official craftsmen are not in the rank of officials, they can also be regarded as subordinate officials, and they can enjoy great salaries.

"I will enter the Palace tomorrow to discuss this with your majesty and the cabinet." Yu Chuqing also nodded, but he could not help sighing. From the war in southern Xinjiang to the crisis of animal tide, Yu Yuanxu's second younger brother's hard work accumulated in more than 20 years has been consumed by at least half of his wealth. If there are more twists and turns in the war, Da Qian will really hurt his muscles and bones.

"Thank you, mother." As he said, with these 1000 thunderbolt chariots and a certain number of mysterious crossbows, broken crossbows and large bed crossbows for guarding the city, Lu Que's ability to deal with the tide of beasts will increase to 60% or 70%. Although he is not sure, it is commendable that he can push the odds to 60% or 70% in the face of the tide of Jedi beasts.

"I'm not polite to you. Besides, you're trying to help the whole world and millions of people. It's not for yourself. Thank you." Yu Chuqing angrily patted Lu Que's forehead and said, "what else needs to be done for your mother? Let's all say it together. The mothers who can do it will help you do it. The mothers who can't do it will help you do it. After this village, there won't be this shop."

"No more." Lu que shook his head, but he was deeply moved. He felt the unreserved trust and love from his mother. It's not easy to complete a thousand thunderbolt vehicles in two months and transport them to zhennanguan. But after thinking about it, my mother agreed, and didn't care about the difficulty of promoting it or completing it.

"Since you don't have it, you can go back to your room and sleep earlier. After these days, even if you want to have a good sleep, I'm afraid it's impossible." Yu Chuqing wants to reach out to touch Lu Que's head, but finds that her son has grown up. Now he is a well-known marshal who can stand in his own way. He is no longer the boy who is not playing in the mountain. This kind of action is really inappropriate. He can't help but withdraw his hand. However, there was a twinkle of sadness in her eyes. Her son Lu que was less than 17 years old. Other teenagers of this age were still studying and playing in the school, but he had already shouldered the burden of his family and country, and was about to lead the army south.

Seeing his mother's action, Lu que was also slightly stunned, and then reacted. He couldn't help showing a wry smile. As he grew older, he was no longer the naughty boy who was tired of being in his parents' arms. Thinking of this, Lu que picked up the teapot and added a cup of tea to Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing. He stood up and bowed to say, "father and mother, it's a troubled time now, but we should pay more attention to our health. You should go to bed earlier, and let the child leave first."

"Go ahead. If you can sleep, sleep a little longer. Tomorrow morning, my father will send someone to your room. You can eat it when you wake up." Lu Chun also opened his mouth and said that his eyes looking at Lu que were full of worry and love.
