Shennong Sequence

Chapter 237: Super arms dealer in the cultivation era, warships that can protect the country, time and space tunnel
"But the seventh-grade warships above the eighth-grade are completely different from ordinary small personal flying boats. They have more powerful versions. In terms of defense, flight speed, or single-unit attack power, when they are built, they are basically designed with one ability that is particularly outstanding, and this is used as a selling point..."

"Of course, a seventh-grade flying boat can also be all-encompassing, but it would be mediocre, ordinary, and without any special features..."

"Therefore, we can only focus on forging one aspect to sell it for a lot of money. In addition, starting from the seventh grade, other types of flying boats have gradually evolved. For example, there are defensive small passenger boats with multi-person functions, offensive small warships that can carry hundreds of people, and underground boats, water boats that move forward in the water, etc. These basically belong to the category of seventh-grade flying boats."

"And the transition from the seventh rank to the sixth rank is by no means a simple progression of levels, but a transformation from ordinary to extraordinary. The sixth rank flying boat will take into account all aspects of performance, and in one aspect it will reach an astonishing height."

"Whether it's an impenetrable defense, a lightning-fast speed, or an earth-shattering attack that dims the stars and shatters the mountains and rivers...they are all unparalleled superior capabilities that can be assembled!"

"Even if the buyer can imagine the appearance and performance of the flying boat he wants, those with a profound heritage of thousands of years, such as the Mohist School, the Gongshu School, and the weapon refiners who are born from Taoist weapon refiners, and the Yin-Yang School who control the yin and yang of the universe, can all use their superb skills and wisdom to turn this illusory imagination into a real work."

"Each sixth-grade flying boat is the crystallization of skill, strength, and wisdom..."

"Going up, the fifth-grade flying boats above the sixth-grade have a terrifying power that is enough to make the heaven and earth tremble and the sun, moon and stars pale in comparison. It can change the world and reshape the universe!"

"A fourth-grade flying boat is already a peerless existence standing at the pinnacle of worldly power... and if it falls into the hands of some small country, it will be a national treasure!"

Zhao Yun found Qu Feiyu's introduction very comprehensive, but he didn't know whether there would be fourth-grade warships to support the war between the Great Surrounding Continent and the Northern Barbarians?

In addition, Zhao Yun speculated that the sequence level of the forest god of Yan Guiling Mountain was at least Sequence 5!
Otherwise, how could ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the sacred mountain and rely on the power of the gods to live from the last era of rich spiritual energy to the current environment of fading spiritual energy?

The mountain god of Lingshan, Linshan God, who was pardoned, was not of a high rank.

Then, how strong would the people who were pardoned in those higher-level sacred mountains be?

Therefore, the foundation of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, which has lasted for tens of millions of years, is very high!
So, among the foundations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many high-level practitioners are there to suppress it? And what grade of warships are there to protect the country?

Moreover, now is the general environment where spiritual inspiration is fading, so most of the people who are taking actions outside are contemporary practitioners.

If it is in the era of the return of spiritual inspiration, I am afraid that it will be the era when many antiques will start to jump...

Zhao Yun then retracted his distracted thoughts and continued to listen to Qu Feiyu's introduction of the warship:
"However, the fourth-grade flying boats, warships, and vehicles are like ancient beasts sleeping in the depths of time, and they will not be easily awakened to the world."

"Because every time it is used, the energy consumed is as vast and boundless as the ocean, so magnificent that it makes people stagger and feel heartbroken!"

"Moreover, now that the world is in a state of spiritual energy fading and spiritual tides reaching their lowest point, all cultivators above the fifth rank have gone into seclusion and rarely show up in the world. Accordingly, these oversized materials have also been carefully sealed and rarely used. In addition, every time they are opened, it means a generous consumption of extremely precious spiritual stones..."

"Therefore, the energy consumed every time these fourth-grade warships are deployed is simply an astronomical figure, enough to make the Si Nong who are in charge of the resources feel so distressed that their teeth are chattering!"

"So during the years I have been in office, I have only seen what a fourth-grade battleship looks like, but I have never seen a fourth-grade battleship show its power... And this is the case in our Great Zhou, not to mention the other small border countries."

Zhao Yun suddenly remembered a sentence:
War, after all, is a mad competition for financial power and resources; and the comparison of national strength is a cruel game without the smoke of gunpowder but more cruel than the smoke of gunpowder!
"Commander Qu, I wonder if the Northern Barbarians sent out warships in this battle with them?"

"Yes, there is more than one country in this world, and more than one city. Wherever there is a city, there must be the Mohists to help defend it. And wherever there is an army or war, there must be the Gongshuists to help build war equipment... In addition, the barbarians are also good at taming war beasts, and there are even large war beasts on the battlefield."

Zhao Yun suddenly discovered that Mo Jia and Gong Shu Jia were actually acting as arms dealers!

Moreover, they have absolute autonomy, are not restricted by territory or region, and can cause trouble across regions...

Zhao Yun suddenly said: "The Mohist and Gongshu schools are really rich!"

Qu Feiyu shook his head and said:
"General Zhao is wrong. No matter how rich they are, they are not as rich as merchants!"

"I also heard that General Zhao will take up a post in the Ministry of Agriculture. He may be in charge of the key area of ​​logistical resources and will have to deal with merchants, public servants, and Mohists... But we have to be careful of contract loopholes."

"In addition, General Zhao, when you go to the Sino-Agricultural Bureau, you must organize the personnel who distribute the supplies. They often take supplies that are on the borderline of qualified and unqualified to fool us... If this matter can achieve some results, all the major military camps will be grateful to you."

"I'm a new official, and you're already helping me with the fire?" Zhao Yun thought in a strange way.

However, Zhao Yun did not agree, but did not refuse either. Instead, he started practicing Tai Chi.

"My position after I go to the Ministry of Agriculture will depend on how the Minister of Agriculture Jing arranges it. So let's wait and see..." Zhao Yun responded with a smile, and then said modestly: "Besides, I have come to this point by chance and luck, and I only have a partial understanding of many situations. When I am really responsible for logistics, I will have to rely on the care of the soldiers and generals."

The reason why Zhao Yun added this sentence at the end was to give Qu Feiyu a false impression, making him feel that he was very likely to agree to the task of making fire after the new official took office.

Besides, I am on someone else's flying boat at the moment, and saying nice things is both a courtesy and a necessary way of dealing with the world.

As for what to do in the future, we will make a decision based on the actual situation at that time.

As long as everything is done according to the regulations.

Moreover, Zhao Yun is definitely not the kind of person who is pedantic and inflexible.

Qu Feiyu saw that although Zhao Yun's attitude was somewhat ambiguous, his words were quite sincere, so he took it to heart. He decided to go back and contact someone...

After all, who would want to chew on those half-good garbage when you can eat some good resources?

Moreover, I am fortunate enough to be here today to meet General Zhao, whose reputation is gradually rising. This can be considered as a good relationship with him. I should manage it well in the future and invite General Zhao out for food and drinks more often to keep in touch with him...

After all, connections are also power and the capital for survival. As long as there is no gap between each other, the road ahead will naturally become wider and wider.

Thinking of this, Qu Feiyu couldn't help but reveal a smile on his meticulous face.

Later, Qu Feiyu keenly noticed that although General Zhao was born in a border continent, he was full of curiosity about the inner continent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. So he catered to his interests and cleverly brought the topic to some strange differences between the inner continent and the outer continent of the Great Zhou Dynasty:
"General Zhao, although our land of Beiliang Bianzhou has enjoyed more than half a century of peace."

"But this little bit of peace is just a tiny moment in the passing of time for practitioners like you and me who have a long life span."

"The life scale of this mortal is vastly different from that of the lowest-grade cultivators. There is a world of difference between them."

"Even a ninth-rank warrior can live for 130 to 140 years as long as he is diligent in keeping in good health and pays attention to his own cultivation. Farmers like you, as well as Taoists, Yin-Yangists, and merchants who are more proficient in keeping in good health and are well versed in the mysteries of life, can live up to 170 to 180 years starting from the ninth rank. If they take some rare longevity-extending spiritual arts or elixirs, their lifespan can be directly extended to 200 years."

"The lifespan of a cultivator at the ninth level can be one, two, or even three times longer than that of a mortal's seventy or eighty years, which is as short as morning dew."

"So even though Beiliang Border Continent has had peace for half a century, for us cultivators, it is only a brief period of tranquility, not long-term peace in the true sense. Moreover, the war situation may continue for another 10 to 20 years... There will be no long-term peace. This is why Beiliang was divided into a border continent."

Then Qu Feiyu looked at Zhao Yun's face and eyes, and was quite interested in this, so he continued to guide the topic towards Neizhou:
"I came from Qingyuan Middle Continent in the Inner Continent. The Inner Continent is divided into large continents, middle continents, and small continents. However, this size division is not based on the actual area of ​​each continent, but on many complex factors such as the direction of the sacred mountains and earth veins and the distribution of various precious resources."

"Because the spiritual mountain veins crisscross and run through all the continents, they can provide all kinds of energy. This is the key to determining the resource breeding and rise and fall of each continent..."

Zhao Yun really knew very little about the various things in the inner continent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he naturally listened with great interest to Qu Feiyu's narration.

"Besides, I came to the Northern Liang Border Continent from the Inner Continent, but the interests of all parties in the Inner Continent have long been tightly controlled by those who stand at the pinnacle of power and control the fate of the world. Not a single bit of information is leaked out. I really can't see any hope for the future..."

“But after I came to the outer continent, I found that the inner continent also has its own advantages and conveniences. It is prosperous and has advanced cultivation resources. It is not as barren as the outer continent. It is difficult to buy cultivation resources even with money…”

"However, this Inner Continent also has its own unique cruelty and helplessness. Behind the seemingly prosperous world, there are strict hierarchies and fierce competition like a battlefield. Every step is a challenge from countless peers. If you are not careful, you may be doomed... So I couldn't survive anymore, so I applied to come to the Border Continent from the Inner Continent."

"Although the living conditions in the Northern Liang Border Continent are relatively harsh and the resources are relatively scarce, it has completely different prospects and freedoms from the Inner Continent..."

Another sentence flashed through Zhao Yun's mind: People inside want to get out, and people outside want to get in.

As for myself, I want to enter the academy, learn knowledge systematically, and complete my basics.

Then, we will delve into the detailed requirements and rules of the farmer sequence and the various levels of the sequence that continue to rise, and move towards a higher level.

"General Zhao, are you surprised to hear what I said?" Qu Feiyu looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, trying to find out what Zhao Yun was thinking deep in his heart.

"There are indeed some differences. Do you prefer to return to the inner continent or continue to stay in the border continent of Beiliang?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

"I will still choose to stay in the border island because there are more opportunities for promotion and chance to enter higher levels, and the blockade of the lower levels by the aristocratic families here is not strict... I can still climb up." Qu Feiyu thought about it and said sincerely.

Because he is not the only one who has such thoughts.

People who are sincere and open-hearted are always the ones that others are happy to interact with.

"In addition, there are gaps between the inner continent and the border continent. For example, between the cities in the inner continent, time and space tunnels have been opened up, and auxiliary transmission arrays have been used to become convenient bridges connecting the cities in the inner continent.

Therefore, as long as you can afford the corresponding resources in the Great Zhou, going anywhere is just a matter of a moment. "

“However, the cost of using the teleportation arrays in the major cities of Inner Continent is quite high, enough to discourage ordinary practitioners.

Therefore, in the inner continent, even if the teleportation array is used by the aristocratic families, the transportation of more personnel and resources is still like what I told you before, relying on those seventh-grade passenger boats that have given up some of their attack capabilities and instead enhanced their defense and carrying capacity, tirelessly transporting personnel and materials between major cities, maintaining the connection between the cities. "

"But this situation is rare in the border island of Beiliang. The traffic here is like an old man staggering forward, and it seems to be two completely different worlds from the inner island..."

"Also, I told you before that the classes in Inner Continent are fixed. Even a small piece of land in the countryside can be clearly divided and has remained unchanged for thousands of years... If the classes are solidified and there is no path to rise, then there will be no resources for cultivation. This is also one of the important reasons why I fled Inner Continent."

"In addition, the formations between the major cities in the inner continent are still connected in series. And these interconnected city defense formations form a complete and indestructible defense system that protects the entire city.

The arrays in each continent are connected in series and serve as array nodes, forming a protective array that protects the entire inner continent of the Great Zhou, and can tightly cover the inner continent of the Great Zhou."
