Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 309 Advanced Mechanical Techniques and Mecha Development [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Unbeknownst to Honglian, Madam Mingzhu was secretly chuckling.

They put on a pitiful, sympathetic look.

"Hehe, you really are a fool. With you cooperating like this, the immortal will surely feel more pity for me, a newcomer who is being ostracized."

As long as I can bring novelty to the immortals, and with that idiot Honglian constantly causing trouble and suppressing me, I'm not afraid the immortals won't remember me or won't care about me.

Honglian was indeed full of hostility towards Lady Mingzhu. Back in the Han Palace, she had already disliked this vixen.

Honglian looked at Chen Hong with a wronged expression: "Husband, why did you agree to Father's request to accept this vixen?"

"This vixen...she's not good enough for you."

Honglian was practically ready to openly speak ill of Madam Mingzhu.

The women also didn't have a very good impression of this enchantress who used seductive tricks right from the start.

Compared to Lady Mingzhu, the women clearly preferred the innocent and carefree Princess Honglian.

Chen Hong watched this scene with a smile, showing no sign of being bewitched by Madam Mingzhu.

"Haha, who said I took this vixen as my wife?"

This surprised everyone.

Even Madam Mingzhu looked up at Chen Hong in disbelief, no longer pretending to be pitiful.

"Husband, you mean..."

Honglian looked delighted.

"Honglian, what do you say? I'll give you Lady Mingzhu as my maid."

Honglian's eyes immediately lit up.

"Give it to me, to be my slave?"

"This is really..."

"Great!"

Honglian grinned wickedly, looking at Madam Mingzhu on the ground with a malicious expression.

"Hahaha, you vixen, you've finally met your match!"

"You've fallen into my hands, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Madam Mingzhu immediately sensed something was wrong.

That shouldn't be the case. How could an immortal not be attracted to her and instead give himself to this brat?
Their situation from now on is probably not good.

Lady Mingzhu cried with a mournful face, "Immortal, Immortal, please don't!"

"Don't hand me over to that girl Honglian."

"This girl has no sense of propriety."

"Immortal, please, let me serve you. I promise I will never do anything bad."

Chen Hong shook his head: "You witch, when you come here, you should put away those ghostly tricks. You're just showing off your limited skills in front of an expert and making a fool of yourself."

Poisoning, enchantment, perfumery, hypnosis—none of them are effective against me.

"I am not like King Han An, whom you can manipulate at will."

Madam Mingzhu was horrified, feeling completely naked and without any secrets under Chen Hong's discerning eyes.

Chen Hong was not in a hurry to eat Madam Mingzhu. He first handed her over to Honglian for a period of time to remove the poison and temper her temperament.

Honglian was also happy to train Madam Mingzhu and take revenge. Her various quirky ideas tormented Madam Mingzhu quite a bit.

Chen Hong then summoned the old man Gongshu Chou and learned from him the domineering mechanical techniques of the Gongshu family.

The domineering mechanical arts were inherited from Lu Ban, the ancestor of the Gongshu family, and have been perfected and accumulated by the Gongshu family over the generations.

When it came to this generation of mechanical genius Gongshu Chou, he carried it forward, innovated and perfected many powerful mechanical techniques, and created mechanical techniques born for war and killing.

Even in Chen Hong's view, the domineering mechanical techniques had many merits.

Gongshu Chou's staff, the "Mechanical Umbrella," is described as "exquisitely crafted with hidden mechanisms." It can be quickly deployed for defense and offense, and contains numerous small mechanisms.

There is also the "Six Paths Wheel Jiazi Lock," a mechanical lock invented by Gongshu Chou, which has 100,000 ingenious variations and is used to seal various confidential messages.

If forcibly opened, strong acid will splash out, destroying the secret and harming the person who opens it.

The Yin-Yang Vision is an even more wondrous surveillance and attack system, a protective mechanism jointly developed by the Gongshu School and the Mohist School.

Shaped like an eye, it automatically senses the target's location and fires poison needles.

Each needle was coated with the Yin-Yang School's unique anesthetic—Hundred-Day Hemp.

Unless the poisoned person takes the Qing Shu Dan specially made by Yun Zhong Jun, they will not be able to move freely for 100 days.

It's like a flexible network of surveillance cameras plus a physical attack system, even more advanced than the surveillance cameras on modern streets.

There are also architectural designs for the Thousand Machine Tower and the Thousand Machine Code copper disc design.
And the [Blood Silkworm Array], this blood silkworm silk produced in the Western Regions is 10 times finer than ordinary silkworm silk and has a translucent color.

Each section is fitted with a bell; touching it will alert the guards. It is also quite tough, and each thread has been soaked in a potent poison, so contact with it will result in immediate death.

There are also mechanical snakes, Saburō, three-foot-tall bat wings, and an endless number of adorable Saburō minions, capable of destroying any mechanism from the inside. There's also the [Nine-Headed Magatama], a mechanical nine-headed serpent with immense destructive power, capable of instantly destroying buildings.

There are also advanced [mechanical prosthetics] technology and [mechanical human] technology, which can transform the human body into a robot with skin as hard as armor, making it impossible for ordinary swords and knives to harm it.

There are also the [Mechanical Sand Boat], which is a type of boat that can travel in the desert, much like it can travel on water.

Finally, Gongshu Chou even talked about mirages.

The initial concept of a master of domineering mechanical arts and Yin-Yang techniques.

This is almost a city on the sea, an unprecedented masterpiece, an unimaginable feat of engineering.

It was comparable to the super cruise ships of later generations, capable of sailing long distances on the ocean, so large that it possessed almost everything, was self-sufficient, and could sail for several years without any problem.

The fact that this could be accomplished in the Qin Dynasty demonstrates just how advanced the Gongshu family's technology was.

After mastering all of the Gongshu family's domineering mechanical techniques, Chen Hong had some ideas about "Qin Dynasty technology".

What would happen if one could combine mechanical arts with their own weapon-making skills, modern technology, and armor-related techniques?

What would happen if we combined artificial limbs, robots, bionics, and modified humans?
Chen Hong secretly began to deduce the results.

In order to gain more knowledge of mechanical arts and support his deductions, Chen Hong secretly went to the Mo family's mechanical city again.

I learned how to create the four mythical beasts of the Mohist school.

Mechanized Vermilion Bird, Mechanized Black Tortoise, Mechanized White Tiger, Mechanized Azure Dragon.

The Vermilion Bird, associated with the organs, governs wind and fire, and is responsible for responding to changes.

They come in large and small sizes, and can fly, transmit information, and carry people. They themselves cannot fly; they move through the air by relying on air currents and wind direction.

The Black Tortoise, representing the elements, governs water and earth and is responsible for kinetic energy.

The core power source that operates the entire Mo Family Mechanical City can also replace the water used to purify the city.

It can be used as an underwater stealth tool, and it also has multiple chain-like weapons on its back.

The White Tiger in the mechanical system represents metal, and signifies war and slaughter.

Extremely powerful. Each seat can accommodate two adults or three minors.

The Azure Dragon in the mechanical system represents wood, and signifies war and slaughter.

It is said that the Mohists created the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the main weapons for killing, in order to counter the Gongshu family's domineering mechanical arts. However, because the Azure Dragon was too lethal, the Mohists decided to hide it under the "Dragon's Throat" in the Mohist forbidden area.

After mastering all the techniques of the Mo family's mechanical beasts, Chen Hong had some ideas about developing his own mechanical beasts.

Continuing his studies, Chen Hong mastered the technology of creating the Mo family's mysterious mechanical figures, known as the "Bronze Men."

The bronze figures possess detection capabilities and a certain level of intelligence, and their attack power is also very high.

The floor of the secret chamber where the bronze figure is located is not an ordinary floor. When a person steps on it, the floor will slightly subside. The bronze figure uses the change in weight on the floor to find its target.

Having mastered the techniques of the bronze warriors and combined them with the techniques of the domineering mechanical arts, Chen Hong's vision for developing mechs became even more complete.

He took out the Mohist's supreme weapon, "Non-Aggression," from the chest of the bronze statue.

The concept of non-aggression was invented by Mozi and improved by great masters of the past. It can be transformed into weapons of various shapes, the most common of which are "sword", "crossbow", "flying rope", "shield", "boomerang", "jade halo", "mantis leap" and "reverse shark tooth".

The ingenious design of this versatile weapon inspired Chen Hong, allowing him to further develop his mechanical skills. He developed preliminary ideas and plans for mecha transformation, weapon transformation, mechanical beast transformation, and mechanical vehicle transformation.

There are also toys like the Heavenly Lock and the Monk's Ink Puzzle, which are designed to train mathematical thinking skills and are difficult for the average person to solve.

There are also non-offensive mechanical hands, non-offensive mechanical arms, non-offensive mechanical feet, and non-offensive modified humans. Compared with the mechanical prosthetics technology of the Gongshu family, Chen Hong had a deeper understanding of modified human technology.

Chen Hong even learned how to build the Mo Family's mechanical city.

After completely draining the Mohist school of technology, Chen Hong quietly left.

He began to design various mechs and mechanical beasts, and Chen Hong drew up one design drawing after another.

Chen Hong found a large ore vein and began refining.

One after another, mechs and mechanical beasts were being forged.

【Rui Shi: A comprehensive mecha that integrates mechanical arts, divine craftsmanship, weapon forging, talismans, and some armor technology, etc.

The energy source is a combination of light energy and spiritual energy, and it will automatically absorb energy and store it in its core when placed normally.

It can amplify soldiers' strength and speed by a hundredfold, and is equipped with spears, crossbows, and swords, with balanced attributes in all aspects.

[Wudang: A light mech that amplifies soldiers' speed by 300 times and strength by 50 times. Equipped with a bow, crossbow, short sword, and iron claw rope, it can fly, traverse mountains, travel thousands of miles a day, and move with great agility.]

[Wu Zu: Heavy mechs capable of amplifying soldiers' strength by 300 times and speed by 50 times, equipped with halberds, crossbows, and large shields.]

【Xuanjia: A warrior-type mecha worn by warriors, which amplifies attack power with internal force, true qi, and true essence.】

It can amplify the strength of Foundation Establishment Realm warriors by 300 times, Acquired Realm warriors by 100 times, Innate Realm warriors by 50 times, Transformation Realm warriors by 10 times, and Divine Soul Realm warriors by 2 times.

It is an open-type mecha, capable of free transformation, changing its form and weapons according to the warrior's will.

Besides mechs, Chen Hong also developed cyborg technology.

[Terracotta Army: A multi-functional, collaborative legion of cyborgs. Different body parts are modified to meet various needs, resulting in different functions and enhancing human strength. These hybrids, half-human and half-machine, represent an initial exploration of mechanical advancement.]
