Chapter 296.1
Military Industry Development And Army Construction (1)
While Wuling City was vigorously developing the Cultivation Academy, its cultivation industry naturally did not fall behind.
After determining the development route of the cultivation industry, Wuling City vigorously recruited craftsmen from all walks of life.
Some of these are refiners who are good at forging, some are good at formation, and some are good at crafting magical items.
But no matter what they are good at, when they enter the “Ministry of Cultivation Industry,” what they face is a project that is unfamiliar, novel, and challenging to them.
This not only did not deter them, but a strong fighting spirit surged up from the bottom of their hearts.
No matter how famous they are in their own industry, they all remember the ambition in their hearts when they first chose the industry they’re in right now.
It’s just that with the exhaustion of inspiration, they have gradually embarked on the old path of seniors, and the weapons and magical items they created, as well as the formation they designed, also began to become the same as what everyone else creates.
But now, they have seen all kinds of new projects that they have never heard of in the Ministry of Cultivation Industry. How can this not make them excited?
Novelty is always very attractive to people.With the addition of these talents, the Ministry of Cultivation Industry has also started to operate at full power, inventing one epoch-making invention and creation after another in this world.
There are not only cars driven by condensed spiritual energy that can make people travel more conveniently, but also wired phones powered by built-in spirit stones that can realize simple communication, and even movies invented by referring to the principle of photo stones.
So many inventions and creations have sprung up in Wuling City.
In addition, the military workshop has also undergone several major updates.
The earliest version of the cultivator’s version of the pistol has been eliminated, and it was replaced by a new type of pistol embedded with a variety of runes and formations, which greatly improves the lethality.
After testing this type of pistol, it was found that the velocity of its bullets has reached an astonishing three thousand meters per second, which is no less than that of modern sniper rifles.
What is even more surprising is that although the lethality is so powerful, the recoil of the pistol is so low that it is almost negligible due to the special use of formations and runes.
Regarding this, Feng Shao couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. As expected, cultivation is not scientific.
After succeeding in the iteration of the pistol, the military workshop naturally turned its attention to the cannon.
If one referred to the historical development of the modern world, one would find that the appearance of cannons was much earlier than guns and firecrackers.
It can even be said that the earliest guns and firecrackers were miniaturized artillery.
But in the cultivation world right now, the route of development became obviously reversed, and it became the invention of guns first, and then artillery.
With the principle of guns and the foreshadowing of success, the development of the cultivator’s version of the artillery will naturally go much smoother.
It took only a short time for the Ministry of Cultivation Industry to develop a cannon capable of flattening a mountain, and the reason why this cannon can achieve such a powerful power is mainly due to the thousands of runes and formations in the barrel.
In fact, speaking seriously, it’s not that people in this world have never had similar inventions for weapons such as guns, which have a simple structure and can exert a good killing effect.
But limited by the size of the formation, the final killing effect of the weapon is always so unsatisfactory.
Just like how the earliest trains ran slower than cows, if development was abandoned at that time, naturally, there would be no subsequent inventions.
Under the limitations of the times, such inventions will naturally be swept into the trash by the disappointed cultivators.
However, with systematic and scientific planning and development, the current situation is naturally very different.
The invention of the formation-carving brush laid the foundation for the miniaturization of weapons.
In a short gun barrel, hundreds of runes were engraved by these craftsmen like crazy.
Even the bullets were engraved with dozens of runes, adding effects such as armor piercing, tearing, bleeding, poisoning, dizziness, etc., and even the damage can be directly applied to the soul!
What is the concept of damage that can affect the soul?
Let’s put it this way, after a cultivator has cultivated to a certain realm, no matter how serious the physical injury is, they still have a way to repair it. But if the damage is at the soul level, it will be harmful to all cultivators, including Transcend Tribulation realm powerhouses!
Therefore, a pistol equipped with this bullet already has the power to threaten a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator. The only problem is that Transcend Tribulation realm cultivators would not just stand still and let themselves get hit.
In order to make the pistol hit a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator, Dai Zhixin and the people of the Ministry of Cultivation Industry devoted themselves to research, but they still failed to come up with a useful solution.
Just when everyone was a little discouraged, Feng Shao learned of their problems.
So Feng Shao reminded Dai Zhixin, “Why do you need ordinary people to have the ability to kill Transcend Tribulation realm cultivators? Why not settle for the second best and let Gold Core realm cultivators threaten Transcend Tribulation realm cultivators?”
After being reminded by Feng Shao, Dai Zhixin realized that she had entered a dead end.
Just like if one wanted to deal with F22 fighter jets, the most effective means is to send out J-20 fighter jets. This is called king against king, general against general. If one used anti-aircraft artillery to fight an F22 fighter jet, then this person must have a sick mind.
The gap between ordinary people and a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator is already bigger than the gap between ants and humans, and they can almost be regarded as two species.
It cannot be said that it is impossible to find a way to make up for such a huge gap.
But relying on a few pistols is obviously nothing more than a dream.
Instead of concentrating on improving those weapons even more, why not train mid-level cultivators to use those weapons?
