After another hour, the carriage drove us to the outskirts of Qufu.

Compared with Yan Kingdom, the suburbs here are also busy with spring plowing and spring planting. However, the former is busy with people, and the latter is busy with all kinds of mechanical products!

In the rice field, a farmer was lying in the shade of a tree reading a book, while in his field, a machine ox was ploughing the field with his head covered. In the middle of this field, there is a large rock. I thought that the ox would crash into it, but I didn't expect it to be extremely clever, and at a dozen centimeters in front of the big rock, it made several 90-degree turns and went around and continued to plow the field. When the plough is finished and reaches the edge of the field, it automatically turns left and turns around again to plow.

From beginning to end, the farmer just glanced up.

This scene is not unique, but just a microcosm of the fields on the outskirts of Qufu. At this moment, a similar scene is still playing out in hundreds of rice fields. Of course, there are also empty rice fields, and it is estimated that there are limited cattle, and the owners of the rice fields will have to wait for the rental to be handed out before starting work.

After passing through the fields, you will arrive at the area of various fruits, vegetables and flowers. The mechanical artifacts here are even more abundant. There are sprinkler irrigation mechanisms that resemble the real world, flower collection mechanisms that automatically cut and bundle, and mechanisms that emit sounds of strange frequencies installed on fruit trees.

Every once in a while, you can also see the masters, each with a dozen or so schoolchildren who have brought their own small machine stools, and stop in front of various mechanism products to explain their use. The schoolchildren listened very attentively, and from time to time they lowered their heads and quickly took notes. But in every wave of people, there are always one or two naughty ones, who always love to take out small mechanism toys and become grasshoppers and dragonflies. When the masters saw this, they would quietly walk over and pat them on the head with the textbooks in their hands.

After another half an hour, the carriage came to Qufu, and at a glance, there was no end in sight, all of which were densely packed with two- or three-story houses and the black crowd on the street. There are also countless shopping streets, but compared to the beautiful Yanguo, most of the shops here sell some delicate mechanical products. From cups and toothbrushes to tables and tables.

The tricks here are even more amazing. The dragons and birds that carry people flying in the sky, the horses that carry people on the ground, the dogs that follow the people in their mouths, and even the toys in the hands of children are mostly machine products.

As the capital of the Lu State, Qufu is even more impressive in its organ defense methods. The kind of crossbow that can automatically fire after activating is more common here in Longyang Town, and there are one every ten meters on the city wall. And every 100 meters, there is a bright cannon of the machine. In the center of Qufu, there is a giant tower with a height of 100 meters, and a giant three-dimensional equilateral triangular crystal suspended on the tower is slowly rotating while continuously emitting soft white light, which is particularly mysterious and eye-catching.

And I, my eyes widened all the way, and I couldn't see all kinds of novel tricks that popped up from time to time: "Xiao Fang, this, this Qufu is too terrifying!" Tricks that are rare in ordinary places can be seen everywhere here! And the triangular crystal on the giant tower, no matter how you look at it, it looks very powerful. ”

Xiao Fang also looked at the triangular crystal on my shoulder and said, "No matter how good the trick is, it needs a lot of materials to support it." Don't think about ordinary places, only big cities have this condition. However, compared with the era when mechanical techniques were only used in the military more than 200 years ago, the level of mechanical skills in the world has really made a qualitative leap, and I did not expect that the civilian penetration rate would be so high. And the triangular crystal you mentioned, even I can't see through it. It seems that in this era, there are really many talented mechanics. ”

Hehe, if you let it see Chang'an, the first city in the world built entirely by mechanical techniques, you will definitely drop your jaw.

"With such a powerful city, I don't know how to fight it."

Xiao Fang rolled my eyes: "If you want to get a city, you don't necessarily have to start from the outside. In a city like this, what is most afraid is not the thousands of troops outside the city, but the division and collapse inside the city. ”

"Yo, you seem to have a deep understanding, don't you? It hurts, it hurts! Don't scratch me on the head! ”

"Humph! If it weren't for you despicable humans, I wouldn't be ...... Hum! Xiao Fang gritted his teeth and said half of his words, then suddenly turned his head again and stopped talking.

Seeing the way it was angry, I decided not to mess with it for the time being.

When the carriage came to Qufu City, it had to start slowing down in the face of the crowd of people rubbing shoulders. Since it's self-driving, I don't have to worry about getting lost. But along the way, I saw many people riding the same meteor carriage as me, or directly riding a solitary meteor horse, all moving in one direction. Needless to say, it must be the headquarters of the Lu State Meteor Horse Kamikaze Rental Company.

After a few more minutes, all the meteor horses stopped in an extremely lively place. As soon as we stopped, and before we could get off the bus, a little guy in a uniform ran up and said to me with a smile, "Hello Childe, just hand over the carriage to me here." If you need other services, such as riding a dragon and a flying phoenix to enjoy the high-altitude beauty of Qufu, or riding a meteor horse to wander the streets and alleys of Qufu, you can tell me. ”

I looked at the people in the sky who were riding the Heavenly Dragon and the Flying Phoenix, that is, the Organ Dragon and the Organ Big Bird, and I was really envious, so I got out of the carriage and asked, "How do you calculate the price?" ”

"Our kamikaze rental prices have always been fair. Take the dragon and the flying phoenix every half an hour for a gold coin, and take the meteor horse is cheaper, half an hour for a silver coin (1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins). ”

Is this still a fair price? It's a slaughter.

Xiao Fang "meowed" on my shoulder, and I quickly asked again: "What if it's a buyout?" ”

After hearing this, the little guy immediately said with a smile on his face: "If you buy out, the unit price of Tianlong No. 1 is one hundred and fifty gold coins, and the unit price of Feifeng No. 1 is one hundred." We now have the upcoming Safer Flight Higher, Faster, and More Powerful Series 2, all priced at just 50 gold coins higher than the first generation, and many princes and nobles have already pre-ordered. Meteor Horses are cheaper, and they only cost ten gold coins to buy out. The above goods, as long as the son buys them, can enjoy the right of Qi, Chu, Qin Yan, Zhao Wei, Han Qiguo five-year warranty and three-year replacement. In addition, if the childe's funds are not enough for the time being, we also support installment purchases, zero down payment, ten gold coins per month, for a period of one year, and you can immediately ride the flying phoenix around the world. ”

Wow, riding the Trap Dragon and Trap Bird around the King Continent and appreciating the scenery of the real King World, I think it's so beautiful to think about!

However, these artifacts are made of gold! How could I afford it!

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, the look of disappointment crept up on my face, but it quickly faded away. The little guy smiled and continued, "Childe can wait until you think about whether to buy it before contacting us." But now, if Childe is in a hurry to go home, he can ride the meteor horse back first. You just tell it the address, sit on it, and you're good to go. ”

"I'm not in a hurry to get home. Well? What a great idea. This brother, I will ask you about someone. ”

"Childe, excuse me. I grew up in Qufu, and I know most of the people here, except for the new ones who have moved in recently. ”

"I'm looking for Bian Que."

"Bian Que? Why does it sound so familiar. Don't...... Yes! The little guy muttered to himself for a while, and suddenly "Ah! The ground slumped and sat down.
