I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

As China's gold, silver, and copper coins found new uses in neighboring countries.

In an instant, a large amount of Chinese currency flowed out of the country, while an even larger amount of gold and silver jewelry flowed into it.

The dynasty not only did not stop this behavior, but actually encouraged it.

At this moment, when the dynasty looked around at the surrounding countries, the view that had been blocked by the dragon aura of each country began to show gaps like a mesh screen.

The scattered glimmers of China's national destiny are rising in neighboring countries and continuing to spread further and further.

Unconsciously, Wang Chao's lips curled up, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

Time flies, and more than three years have passed in a short time. The year is now the sixth year of the Heavenly Dynasty, the 4339th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar.

After five or six years of development, China has fully entered the industrial age.

The internal combustion engine has also been developed.

However, it was already obsolete before it could be put into production and application.

Zhou Jie, son of Zhou Tie, Minister of Works, after having an epiphany at the birth of the Crown Prince, spent three years researching and finally developed energy-gathering rune arrays, energy-storing rune arrays, and energy conversion arrays, among others.

Finally, after combining with other technologies, the first rune vehicle was created.

On the 20th of the third month of the sixth year, the emperor, accompanied by the empress and the crown prince, led civil and military officials to the Ministry of Works Park in the west of the capital.

This shows how much he valued this first rune-inscribed vehicle.

This was a truly epoch-making technological revolution, surpassing the technological development of subsequent generations.

It leaps directly from the use of energy sources such as coal, oil, nuclear energy, and solar energy to the point of borrowing the energy and power of the universe.

This is truly clean and pollution-free, a veritable inexhaustible source of energy.

No matter how much importance you attach to it, it's never too much.

As for the Ministry of Industry Park in the west of Beijing.
With the introduction of various technologies, the Ministry of Industry began to establish various research departments, and the experimental and research facilities required by them became increasingly larger.

Finally, in the third year of the Celestial Dynasty, the dynasty issued an edict to establish this Ministry of Works Park, which contained various research institutes and experimental sites.

Subsequently, with the increase in various research experiments, the Industrial Park was expanded again and again.

By the time the Celestial Empire reached its current sixth year, the entire Ministry of Industry Park had grown to a massive scale, covering tens of thousands of acres.

This made the Ministry of Works the most powerful and influential department among all officials.

During this period, Zhou Tie, the Minister of Works, was always radiant and walked with a brisk pace, which made countless civil and military officials envious.

Today, Zhou Tie was extremely excited, his lips curled up so wide he could hardly contain them, his eyes were almost slits, and he smiled at everyone he met before even saying a word.

Unfortunately, the main character this time is his son, Zhou Jie.

His son's achievements had garnered such attention from the emperor, and as his father, he was naturally proud.

The people of the capital and the surrounding area, seeing the magnificent canopy of jewels rising from the imperial palace and drifting westward toward the Ministry of Works, immediately knew that His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire was once again visiting the Ministry of Works.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

His Majesty the Emperor truly placed great importance on craftsmen and construction projects. Whenever something new was invented, His Majesty would personally go to inspect it and discuss whether it could be used for military or civilian purposes.

Craftsmen, who were once overlooked, are now highly sought-after by all sides.

If someone has some knowledge of runes, their value skyrockets, attracting a frenzy of bids from factories and manufacturers.

When Zhou Jie arrived at the 100-acre experimental site, he was already prepared.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects."

"May Heaven and Earth, the Sun and Moon, endure forever; may the Celestial Dynasty prosper forever!"

After exchanging greetings, Wang Chao led his entourage to sit on the viewing platform and looked down at the audience.

Looking at the simple yet remarkably similar rune-inscribed motorcycle to a convertible sports car of later generations, Wang Chao couldn't help but admire it.

He had only mentioned it briefly when discussing it with Zhou Jie before, but unexpectedly Zhou Jie actually created it.

Zhou Jie looked at Wang Chao and the others on the stage, bowed slightly again, and then took out a palm-sized jade ball engraved with countless runes from his storage bag.

That was the energy storage sphere he created based on the energy storage rune array.

Then, Zhou Jie opened a cover at the back of the rune motorcycle, put the energy storage ball inside, and then closed the cover.

"Om~!"

Accompanied by a barely audible buzzing sound, countless runes lit up one by one.

In an instant, the entire rune motorcycle was enveloped in dazzling light and runes.

After three breaths, the countless lights and runes finally subsided and disappeared into the vehicle.

Seeing that all the runes and magic circles were activated and running stably, Zhou Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hoo~!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jie took a deep breath, yanked open the car door, and sat directly in the driver's seat.

With a gentle press of one of the buttons, runes and patterns began to flash and illuminate the motorcycle, and the front and rear lights instantly turned on.

As Zhou Jie took over again, the rune car suddenly shot forward, and in just a few breaths, it had already driven from one end of the test track to the other.

With a flick of the steering wheel, a beautiful drift sent the rune motorcycle veering quickly to the left, before drifting back again after another turn.

All in all, it only took two or three minutes.

It was fast, too fast. It had surpassed the racing cars of later generations. Moreover, it started silently, with only countless streaks of light flashing, making it look more like a flying shuttle in a movie.

Unfortunately, the newly manufactured rune vehicle was still very crude and rudimentary, and its manufacturing concept was that of a normal vehicle.

However, even if such a rune motorcycle were placed in later generations, it would definitely be an extremely cool and futuristic sports car.

Seeing Zhou Jie, who had already gotten out of the car, his hair disheveled but his face beaming with excitement, Wang Chao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!"

From this day forward, your rune-covered motorcycle will be called Nova One, representing the dawn of a new era for the industrial development of our Celestial Empire.”

The moment the words fell, a wisp of dragon energy descended from the sky, instantly transforming into a golden dragon that rushed straight into Nova One.

In an instant, the performance of Nova-1 was improved once again, and it even gained the ability to connect with the national destiny and receive the protection of the national destiny.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chao said to the eunuch beside him:

"Proclaim the imperial decree!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch from the Directorate of Ceremonial responded and strode forward, calling out to Zhou Jie.

"The Emperor has decreed..."

"Your subject, Zhou Jie, respectfully listens to Your Majesty's words."

Zhou Jie snapped to his feet, clenched his right fist, and bowed respectfully to the dynasty. Well, because the Celestial Dynasty had swept its way to power, and that's coupled with the dynasty's emphasis on its military.

Therefore, in formal occasions in China, military etiquette is the most important.

As the eunuch slowly unfolded the imperial edict, strands of golden light shone forth.

The flow of dragon energy stirred the rules of heaven and earth.

In an instant, faint rosy light began to appear and disappear in the sky.

The unusual phenomenon in the Industrial Park naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.

"Eh~?"

"What a big commotion."

"Yes, this has never happened before."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a clear and resonant voice suddenly echoed throughout every corner of the Celestial Empire's territory.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Zhou Jie, a physician at the Institute of Rune Technology Applications..."

Everyone felt a dazzling light before their eyes, and the scene of the dynasty, the empress, the crown prince, and a group of civil and military officials, with the eunuch reading the imperial edict to Zhou Jie, was reflected in their vision.

"This"

"What kind of thing has this Lord Zhou researched that has actually earned him an imperial decree of investiture?"

"Although His Majesty frequently visited the Ministry of Works Industrial Park before, this is the first time he has issued an imperial edict to bestow titles."

"Let's see what astonishing thing this Mr. Zhou Jie has come up with."

While everyone was discussing it, they also pricked up their ears to listen carefully to the contents of the imperial edict.

"After years of diligent research, Dr. Zhou Jie finally deduced and developed energy-gathering rune arrays, energy-storing rune arrays, and energy-conversion rune arrays, and created the first rune locomotive in the Celestial Empire."
This ushered in a new era for our Celestial Empire.
His achievements are truly remarkable.
He was specially promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, Grand Master of the First Rank, Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, and Marquis of Wenhui (First Class).
Admire this! "

"Your subject, Zhou Jie, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, thanks Your Majesty for your great favor!"

After bowing respectfully once again, Zhou Jie slowly accepted the imperial edict.

In an instant, a golden dragon roared out and rushed into Zhou Jie's body.

Unconsciously, Zhou Jie's body trembled slightly as the national destiny, the dragon energy, the energy of heaven and earth, and the power of rules all surged in, evolving into various heavenly and earthly statuses in his consciousness space.

In that instant, Zhou Jie felt as if he were one with the heavens and earth, and all the rules of the world were within his grasp. He comprehended the mysteries of these rules and his realm began to rise rapidly.

Gradually, a mysterious sensation appeared, and Zhou Jie felt his body and mind lighten, instantly breaking through to the realm of immortality.

This is already among the top cultivation levels in the Celestial Empire.

In the present day, apart from the dynasty, there are only a handful of people in the Celestial Empire who have reached the realm of immortality, including Empress Ji Nanyue, Grand Secretary Wu Chang, Chief of the General Staff Wang Zhiyuan, General Wang Dahu who conquers the west, General Wang Shi who conquers the north, General Li Shu who guards the sea, and Wang Zhenyuan, the Director of the Patrol and Inspection Office.

Even Zhou Jie's father, Zhou Tie, the Minister of Works, was only at the late stage of the Divine Power realm, and was still some time away from the Longevity realm.

However, Zhou Jie has now taken the lead and become another Longevity Realm expert in the Celestial Empire.

However, Zhou Jie wasn't particularly excited.

He already had a clear idea of ​​how his cultivation level would improve.

Even without this breakthrough, it wouldn't have taken him long to achieve it.

After he researched the rune array and created the rune vehicle, his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth reached another level, and his realm reached the peak of supernatural powers, with the possibility of breaking into the realm of immortality at any time.

Therefore, he seemed rather unfazed by the breakthrough.

What excited him, however, was that his craftsman status had actually taken this opportunity to advance further.

Craftsman: Knowing the principles, generating creations, and imbuing them with spirituality.

The artisan's previous divine status was that of an apprentice, a technician, and a master craftsman.

Apprentice: Learn from a master and acquire some simple handicraft skills.

Skilled worker: someone who is proficient in a craft and skilled in the art.

Technician: Skills have reached the pinnacle, mastering every detail, and even being able to apply knowledge to other situations and make certain optimizations and improvements.

However, these first three levels of craftsmanship, regardless of which level.

Whether it's manufacturing ordinary items or using extraordinary power and rune arrays to create extraordinary items.

No matter how exquisite and ingenious their creations are, or even if they surpass the original.

Those were all step-by-step imitations, without breaking free from the conventions and patterns of their predecessors.

Take Jay Chou's rune motorcycle, for example. Whether in terms of functionality or appearance, it can be described as rough and rudimentary.

Perhaps others, after receiving the rune arrays taught by Zhou Jie, will be able to design more beautiful and functional rune motorcycles.

However, all they did was actually just some minor optimizations.

In essence, it was nothing more than mechanical imitation, not exceeding Zhou Jie's technical skill level at all. In the artisan class, he could at most be considered a technician.

However, once one reaches the level of a craftsman, they begin to delve into the deepest core principles of the field and understand its underlying mechanisms.

They can easily design and manufacture similar items with different abilities.

If Jay Chou can design and manufacture rune-emblazoned motorcycles, he can also design and manufacture rune-emblazoned machine tools, trains, ships, and so on.

While others might eventually be able to research and design it, it would require a considerable amount of time for research and exploration.

Furthermore, upon reaching the level of a craftsman, one can even communicate with the sea of ​​spiritual energy, draw upon some of the power of rules, and endow creations with a certain degree of spirituality.

Zhou Jie opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat unfocused, as if he was still immersed in the feeling that the mysteries of the world were all within his heart.

Looking at the rune-covered motorcycle in front of him, Zhou Jie followed his instincts and slowly raised his hand, pointing out with one finger.

In an instant, the power of the Craftsman's position began to operate rapidly, connecting with the sea of ​​spiritual energy in a flash. The spiritual energy rippled, and strands of rule power gathered, disappearing into the rune machine as he moved.

"Om~!"

A mysterious ray of light swept across the area and then seeped into the rune-inscribed motorcycle.

A faint spiritual radiance, invisible to ordinary people, bloomed and then connected into the rune machine. Runes lit up and went out one after another, but earth-shattering changes had already taken place.

Standing next to the rune motorcycle, Zhou Jie could faintly feel a sense of closeness emanating from it.

Touching the rune-covered motorcycle, one can vaguely sense its various conditions through the intimate, spiritual feedback.

The amount of energy remaining, whether the runes are running smoothly or not, whether the body is damaged, and even the current speed, etc.

He can even achieve true unity between himself and the motorcycle by connecting his mind and spirit with its spirit.

There is absolutely no need to operate gears, brakes, or accelerators; you can accelerate, decelerate, turn, and so on at will with just a thought.

Not only is it simpler and easier to operate, but it also avoids many accidents. (End of Chapter)
