Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 389 Acting for Heaven
On November 24th, nearly a month after the open beta launch, the total number of players had gradually reached approximately 11.

For this special "military exercise," Fang Xianyu gritted his teeth and released another 10,000 slots, bringing the total number of registered players to 30,000. According to the event designed by the game operation team of the China National Nuclear Corporation project, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Because the term "military exercise" was quite novel in the Guixu Realm, all the forces and races that happened to be stranded in the Taiyin Sect's territory came to watch.

The event venue was not Chang'an City, which players are very familiar with, but was set in Rongyu City. There, due to plans for a big event, part of the road surface had just been paved, and the [I Love Farming] community had even expanded a huge "paved cement" square overnight!
Of course, the so-called "cement" is not the kind of cement found on Earth. It's not that it can't be replicated in the Guixu Realm, but rather that its hardness standards and various parameters are not suitable for a place like the Guixu Realm where extraordinary factors objectively exist. Therefore, the "cement" used in Rongyu City is the "Guixu Realm version of cement" researched by the "Zhonghuajia Research Institute" under the [I Love Farming] community. In addition to the usual limestone, gypsum, and quartz sand, the raw materials also include some materials unique to the Guixu Realm, such as slag from the smelting of various rare minerals and trace amounts of travertine powder. The amount added is not enough to make this cement glow, but it allows it to "breathe" spiritual energy to a certain extent, maintaining its "spirit" for a long time to preserve its hardness and "magic resistance"—that is, its defense against spiritual energy attacks.

In other words, while this cement-built road surface cannot directly withstand psionic rocket launchers, with Fang Xianyu providing some buffs, it can withstand them to some extent. This also demonstrates the martial prowess and... infrastructure level of the Taiyin Sect.
Ma Lou, the lab supervisor who was temporarily assigned to oversee the project and check the psionic rocket launchers, nervously repeated in the team channel: "The first batch of target points should be at the blue flag position, the second batch at the yellow flag position, and the third batch at the green flag position. Don't send them to the wrong ones!"

Those responsible for launching the rocket launchers were all members of the "I Love Farming" community, seasoned veterans in operating firearms. However, they hadn't really tried this outdated model many times. In addition, everyone knew the importance of this "military exercise," so they were all a little nervous and looked serious.

"understand!"

Meanwhile, a tense and serious atmosphere prevailed in the two psionic fighters preparing for takeoff not far away.

The research institute originally developed four psionic fighter jets, but the first one was rejected because it focused too much on resembling the appearance of fighter jets on Earth, resulting in a lot of wasted effort and design flaws. The second one was also abandoned because of poor power supply and insufficient range, making it unable to support flight missions for several hours.

Only the last two aircraft were barely able to withstand any major problems and could last for five hours—don’t underestimate this short and weak endurance, it was the result of all the researchers in the institute working late into the night and going bald for a long time!

This kind of psionic fighter jet must not only have firepower no weaker than rocket artillery, but also have sufficient maneuverability. In terms of operation, it must also be designed to be usable by non-cultivators. Just this point alone made several cultivators from Guangcheng Sect who participated in the research and development shake their heads and sigh, saying that it was simply impossible. Because something that can be used by people without cultivation is called a magic weapon, which cannot be refined by non-Nascent Soul cultivators. Even immortals and gods must be skilled in weapon refining to refine it!
But such a miracle was achieved by the Taiyin-Guangcheng Research Institute!
The propulsion of this psionic fighter jet mainly comes from spirit stones, which is a real "money-burning" operation every minute and every second. The aircraft is controlled by a combination of various mechanical components and magic arrays engraved on the metal shell.

For example, the altitude and direction of flight are determined by the tracking symbols engraved on the wings. The principle is so simple that it's almost laughable. It's like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. The nose of the plane tracks a dozen or so tracking symbols on the left and right wings and adjusts the spiritual energy drawn from the spirit stone according to different speed and position requirements, connecting the presence or absence of tracking symbols with the overall strength of the flight.

This idea was actually proposed by a cultivator from the Guangcheng Sect of the Guixu Realm. Because the people who came from the land of flowers on Earth blindly pursued the ideas of Earth, they couldn't keep up with the level of industry, so even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice. Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out that this strange method of the "native" was the most feasible!
"We should not underestimate the wisdom of people in this world!"

After touring the two psionic fighter jets, the General Staff Secretary, who had been specially assigned a spot, looked at everyone from afar and sighed deeply. Beside him, a player with the ID "Retired Farmer," the leader of the "I Love Farming" guild, nodded emphatically and added, "In the process of building Rongyu City, it was indeed inspired by many people from the Guixu Realm. Civilizations are not ranked, only their progress is fast or slow. This world, due to internal and external troubles, has never had fertile ground for technological development. I don't know if our involvement is good or bad!"

"There are both good and bad aspects, but it depends on who is being treated by the good or the bad."

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice came from behind them.

When the General Staff Secretary and the retired farmer turned around, they immediately recognized her as Baili Shuang, the "Senior Sister" of the Taiyin Sect, who was also a secret known to everyone in the project team—the "alias" of Fang Xianyu, the sect leader of the Taiyin Sect.

"Baili Rabbit... Fellow Daoist! Greetings!"

The General Staff Secretary checked the code. He originally wanted to call it "Rabbit," but decided to respect the customs of the Guixu Realm and changed the name.

The retired farmer nodded and greeted him, "Fellow Daoist Baili!"

"Hello, both of you," Baili Shuang smiled slightly and replied, then continued what she hadn't finished saying earlier: "For more ordinary people and a large number of oppressed low-level cultivators, it is naturally a good thing. After all, with increased production capacity, they will be able to allocate more resources and live better lives. Chang'an City is an example, isn't it?"

The General Staff Secretary immediately understood what the other party meant and replied, "But for some high-level cultivators..."

"It's not entirely a bad thing; for some high-level cultivators, it might even bring them more benefits. But for others whose behavior is problematic, it's probably a bad thing."

As Baili Shuang spoke, she looked at the first group of players who were already standing in a square formation in the distance and curled her lips again: "Since Heaven won't punish some evil people, then I will punish them on Heaven's behalf."
