Volume 1 The Longdan Calf Chapter 20
20. Scientific research and cultivation are not quitting, and relatives and friends are busy
Yun Fan ranked what he wanted to do in order of interest, first of all, he used his mind to transmit or instill knowledge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe legend about Atlantis on the earth once made him envious, and he didn't have to spend time and effort to memorize by rote, and he could find a library and directly input the knowledge he was interested in into his brain. The students who fought out of the thousands of troops on the earth can be said to be all yearning. Even if it's not urgently needed, curiosity and interest are the biggest irresistible motivators, so it's ranked first.
Secondly, it is the manufacture of guns. In second place, it's because of the need. People's habitual thinking is not so easy to change, and Yun Fan always thinks that face-to-face fighting is stupid and unsafe. There are also the legal system and civilized practices on the earth, which makes him subconsciously feel that it is inappropriate to cut people in person, and assassinating them from afar with a gun is definitely the best choice. The construction of the gun is not complicated, and the theory involved is not advanced. In his previous life, because of his military father, he knew the structure, performance, and characteristics of various guns well. As long as the conditions are right, he believes that he has made it. It just so happened that the refining room of the Blue Dragon Gang's secret vault could fully meet Yun Fan's needs. Yun Fan found in the refining room that Yuanxing's smelting level was actually very advanced, there was an aluminum alloy doped with ferrosilicon and other substances, the hardness and strength were far superior to stainless steel, but the weight was much lighter, similar to a kind of ceramics developed by people on the earth that could make tanks.
The tools are also quite complete and delicate, except for the lack of mechanical power, they can fully meet the requirements. Combined with Fenggu's memory, Yun Fan understood that Yuanxing's scientific and technological level was not necessarily backward, but it was difficult to spread, because their production and research and development were only for a few high-end people, and the cutting-edge technologies and knowledge such as pills (chemistry, medicine), refining tools (metallurgy, physics), formation (physics, mathematics), mechanisms (mechanics, architecture), puppets (automatic machinery), beast control (biology), poisons (biology, chemistry, medicine) and other cutting-edge technologies and knowledge were all in the hands of a few people. For the sake of your own level of force, it is strictly forbidden to spread the word. In fact, it is the same thing on the earth, high-tech must be used in the military first and strictly secret, but it is not as extreme as Yuanxing. However, Yun Fan still can't figure it out, gunpowder, metallurgy, jade, precision tools, bearings, springs, etc., are enough to show that science and technology are not too backward, and some things don't seem to need to be too secretive, and they can be used for civilian use to create value, but that layer of window paper is just no one to pierce it. Is it that Long Danjin is too closed, and the outside world is different, or some people do it on purpose. But who has the power to imprison the whole world?
The third thing Yun Fan wanted to do was to figure out the principle of light jade's luminescence, and the purpose was to make electric lights. This matter is also very urgent, and it is inexplicable to feel that it is as if you can find a connection point with the earth by building generators, cables, and electric lights, otherwise you will always feel that you are a lonely wandering soul with no roots, even in the sea of people, it is suffocatingly lonely.
Fourth, continue to train leopards to speak human language. Yun Fan clearly knew that the possibility of success was close to zero, but he still persevered because it was too quiet. He had no Robinson experience and feared that he would lose his ability to speak if he didn't speak for a day. Fortunately, the leopard is angry, although he can't speak, Yun Fan can understand most of the simple instructions. It seems that not only dogs understand human nature, but the intelligence of leopards is no less than that of dogs, especially these two leopards who eat and live together with Yun Fan. No, tired of Yun Fan's chatter, the two leopards went to the underground river to catch fish. Yun Fan sighed and cocooned himself, teaching too many leopards, and the leopards opened the secret vault exit by themselves, leaving Yun Fan down to the underground river where they came to change their taste.
The fifth is martial arts, if shaking the head, twisting the body, and dancing like hip-hop movements are counted as martial arts, Yun Fan really insists on it every day. Now it is no longer pure water, but a solution mixed with spirit stone milk. More than a month ago, he felt that the liquid in the bath did not have much effect, and his body began to feel a little uncomfortable again, either painful or uncomfortable, Yun Fan inadvertently twisted his body, and found that he made some movements in the direction of the true qi, stretched or contracted the muscles, and the true qi flowed more smoothly and the body was much more comfortable. So, I danced 'hip-hop' in the water every day, and constantly modified and corrected my posture and movements, and it took several months before and after, and this set of 'hip-hop' was finally finalized. Yun Fan didn't know that he had achieved the unity of form and meaning, which was a key step from the beginner to the middle level of Jinshi, otherwise he would not be able to use it even if he had a high level of internal force. Of course, this is different from the situation of the people in the Ming family, it should be said that the exercises of the Ming family are different from the convention. Generally, like Yun Fan, practice qi first, and then combine with form, that is, first intention and then form. The Ming family is just the opposite, first form and then meaning. It is not possible to say which is better or worse, the Ming family exercises are easy to get started and the entry is the unity of form and meaning, and the progress in this class of Jinshi is relatively fast, but it lacks fine control, and it is extremely difficult to advance to the Zhishi. It is difficult to get started with conventional exercises, and the progress is not fast, but once you practice to the peak of the jinshi, there is a great chance of advancing to the advanced master, because what you have been cultivating is to control the internal force with your mind, and over time, your mind will naturally become stronger and stronger.
Yun Fan didn't count his current movements as martial arts training at all. In order to take revenge, he had to practice if he was not interested in martial arts, so he went to look through the collection of the Qinglong Gang, but he found that he couldn't practice it, and the order and path of the internal strength and the true qi in the body were not the same as the exercises he was running. The true qi in the body can't be controlled by himself for the time being, and he still follows a fixed path to go back and forth. As for the martial arts, the vault is all advanced, in other words, they all need to run True Qi to match the action. It's still that problem, at present, Yun Fan's true qi goes his own way and doesn't listen to commands. It seems that this problem will be difficult to solve in the short term.
Yun Fan is also interested in many things, as long as it is a secret collection of books, Yun Fan wants to understand it, refining weapons, alchemy, using poison, controlling beasts, etc., and has part of Fenggu's memory, it is not too difficult to understand. You don't have to be proficient, knowing more will definitely help you to go out of the mountain to take revenge in the future. The so-called art is not pressing.
In order to achieve the above purposes, Yun Fan had to arrange his time scientifically and make a detailed schedule. Get up early to exercise, compete with leopards to climb mountains, and lose repeatedly. Up and down the mountain, more than 1,000 meters round trip, ten round-trips. When I came back, I tied my whole body with homemade weight-bearing leggings and other configurations, and soaked them in lotion to twist 'hip-hop'. Then a series of high-intensity physical activities such as push-ups, pull-ups, punching bags, etc. If you can't practice martial arts, you need to train strength and endurance first. It wasn't until he made himself weak that he made breakfast amid the leopard's howling protests.
In the morning, toss around the top three things that you want to prioritize. In addition to making guns, you don't need to learn, you just rely on memories. Researching the principles of idea transmission and light jade requires constant rummaging through various materials. Yun Fan didn't want these refiners in Dongzhou to know that something happened to be suitable, but to study it from the root, and strive to know what it is and why it is true. After lunch, take a nap in the diluted spirit stone lotion. Half of the afternoon was spent reading miscellaneous books, and half of the time was trying to refine alchemy. Verify what you think with the refiner. Alchemy is purely for fun, to see some medicinal materials, understand some pharmacology, and increase some knowledge, so as not to be ignorant of these in the future, mistakenly ingesting some pills or preventing being plotted. In the evening, we start again with a mountain climbing competition, repeat the morning routine, and sleep in the water at night. The days are just busy and dull repeated. Put aside all grudges and concentrate on cultivation and scientific research, anyway, I don't dare to go out in the short term, because it is all pitch black.
Zan Yu's days were almost like this, cultivating hard in Longmen Town, two hundred miles away from Yun Fan. After the first battle of the Qinglong Gang, Zan Yu accepted Guan Ya's advice, reined in his edge, avoided Longmen Town, and closed the door to practice quietly. All military and political affairs were handled by the surviving Sha Ying, not because he had much trust in Sha Ying, but his cronies were all turned into dirt at the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Gang. What's more, in the small Longmen Town, there are 100 households, how can there be any major military and political affairs.
There is another advantage to handing over to Sha Ying, who was sent from Haizhou before the war, and may not have no contact with other brothers, so that Sha Ying can give some people in Haizhou the illusion that he is decadent and unmotivated. Hiding in the other courtyard, regardless of the cost, he invested the medicinal materials and pills that Guan Ya secretly collected, and cultivated wholeheartedly from morning to night. Don't mistake the rumors that the children of rich families are more gentle, the more long-lasting the family, the stricter the requirements for their children, and the more investment they have in their children's education. The children of these families are not comparable to the children of poor families, and they have been taught by the words and deeds of their elders for a long time, and they know better what to do, what to learn, and how to be invincible.
Zan Yu can be described as a typical example of this kind of child. Determination and perseverance, there is no shortage of anything. Every morning, under the protection of Guan Ya, sit quietly on the top of the mountain, and run the 'Canglang' internal power of the Zan family, which will end for ten weeks. In the morning and afternoon, he practiced martial arts, body techniques, fist techniques, and halberd techniques, and immediately stepped down. I toss myself to the exhaustion every day. Guan Ya was distressed when she saw it, "Childe, you need to practice one by one, and you need to be on the right path." It's only been two years, and you've risen from the middle level of Jinshi to the pinnacle of Jinshi, and you're only one step away from Zhishi, so it's time to rest. How about I go hunting with you? Zan Yu said to Guan Ya gratefully: "Thank you, Guan Lao. Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can't afford to slack off. I know you care about me and worry that I'm going to get into a dead end. You can rest assured that I know the priorities and will not rush it. The next step will be to become a knowledgeable person, and understanding is more important than hard work, and I know all this. Actually, I have already touched the threshold of Zhishi, but I am not in a hurry, I hope to lay a solid foundation. This daily hard work, although tiring, is also worth it. Besides, what is the accumulation of the body, as long as it is not excessive, don't you say? Guan Ya was relieved, what she felt distressed about was not Zan Yu's tiredness. It is impossible for anyone to achieve something in cultivation without fighting. What she worries about is that Zan Yu is too persistent, which makes her thoughts go wrong. For more than two years after the battle of the Blue Dragon Gang, Zan Yu had little contact with outsiders, nor did he care about the dynamics of the world, and he practiced hard day after day. Knowing that Zan Yu's state of mind remained bright, Guan Ya was finally relieved.
The situation in Long Danjin has not fluctuated much, and it has gradually developed in stability. More than a month after the completion of the inner city, the huge construction of the outer city was officially launched, and it was planned to build a Great Wall that stretched for more than 100 miles on the top of the surrounding mountains. The reason why it was built so long was to encircle the city with an iron mine, an oil fruit mountain, a swamp where salt wells could be excavated, and a slope that was conducive to the cultivation of medicinal herbs. Coupled with more than 5,000 acres of fertile land on Longdanjin, then Longdanjin Town, no, it should be said that Longdanjin City can completely become a world of its own, as long as the city is not broken, even if it is blocked for a long time, it will not be a problem. The homeless people recruited by the Yun family arrived one after another. The displaced people need to pay their own labor, and the reward is to carve out a piece of wasteland for their own reclamation. Those who are willing to live permanently can enter the Longdanjin nationality, but they have no right to speak in the council for the time being. Although the population has surged, there is still not much problem with food supply, as long as there are people planting, 5,000 acres of fertile land, and three crops a year are enough to feed tens of thousands of people. For Long Danjin, there is another thing that can be regarded as a big thing, all the advanced powerhouses of the Ming family, including Ming Feng, although they are only at the beginning level, their strength has more than doubled. Several times when they encountered wolves or tigers and leopards attacking the city, they were easily killed or repelled by the Minghu and Mingbiao brothers. The sudden gap in strength made it unnatural for others to get along with the Ming family for a while. There is envy and jealousy, and sighs that the Ming family's life is good on a big tree. They all thought that the Ming family's exercises came from the Yun family's gifts. Hate but not, the Ming family's skills have improved, after all, it will help the safety of Long Danjin, who no longer enjoys the remnants of the Qinglong Gang.
The people who are closely related to Yun Fan, in addition to the people of Long Danjin and Zan Yu, there are also Huizhou Yun family and Bai Lang, as well as a woman named Liyan. Due to special reasons, they have not given up their search for Yun Fan. But as time slowly passed, my mind gradually faded, and there were more and more urgent things to pay attention to. In the end, only Liyan was alone, still stubbornly shuttling between the towns and mountains, walking through the southeast states for more than 10,000 miles, looking for clues of Yunfan, and never giving up.
In the whole world, there are not many areas as calm as the hundreds of miles around Long Danjin. The large army at the front is fighting, and the small elite troops in the rear are destroying and counter-sabotaging each other. The nine major forces rotate in attack and defense, and you live or die. The flames of war, like a highly contagious plague, ravaged the land of Dongzhou. After Zan Yu's strategy in Wuzhou left, the Zan family's strategy was stubbornly counterattacked by the ancestral army, and they repeatedly lost their troops and turned from attack to defense. The war between the Zan family and the ancestral family is nothing compared to the scene of another war. The Yu family in Yingzhou united with the Yang brothers in the northwest, under the banner of eliminating traitors and restoring the Yang Dynasty, and the three families attacked Zhongkang together. The three-way army and the three battlefields are like three flesh and blood grinding plates, constantly devouring the lives of thousands of soldiers. The number of the three armies is superior, and the Zhongzhou Zhongjia army occupies a favorable area, depending on who can consume whom. If you want to talk about bright spots, the Yingzhou Pioneer Army is particularly dazzling. The general He Tao led the army across Zhaozhou, invincible, invincible, and defeated the Zhongjia Zhaozhou governor Piqu is to lose his armor, lose the city and lose the land, and retreat again and again.
In the city of Zhaozhou, He Tao's army pressed the border. Piqu didn't dare to move lightly this time, and defended the city. In the previous battles, I thought that as usual, the two armies rushed to kill, each relying on their strength, but they were disgraced and embarrassed by He Tao's unconventional cunning.
On the high slope outside the city, the high-spirited He Tao led his entourage to observe the terrain, and the more he looked, the more dignified he became. The city of Zhaozhou is high and solid, and the defenders are waiting for work, which is not so easy to fight. After thinking about it repeatedly, I don't know where to start. Turning his head and asking one of the attachés, "General Chen Fujun (a general attached to the staff officer), in the battle of Fancheng, you suggest attacking with fire." In the battle of Licheng, you suggested digging tunnels. In the battle of Gaocheng, you suggested disguising the opponent's rout to open the city gate. There are also Wucheng, Liancheng, and Kaicheng, all of your suggestions worked. But it's been two days since I arrived in this state city, and I haven't seen you speak, is there nothing I can do? Didn't you say, "What are the thirty-six plans?" I didn't use half of it. ”
Wan Yan, the commander under He Tao, said disdainfully: "After all, a little cleverness is just a little cleverness, and playing tricks can only be proud for a while, how can it be a lifetime, and in the end, you have to rely on the real knives and guns of the masters." Chen Xu, who is known as Chen Fujiang, is not convinced, "You are between reckless men, gentlemen fight wits but not strength, strategize, and win thousands of miles." Wan Yan suddenly fanned out with a palm, "Dog things, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority." I'll fight with strength, you use your wits to beat me and try? Chen Xu was slapped off the horse and embarrassed. He Tao softly reprimanded Wan Yan, "Why is the shot so heavy, in case General Chen Fu is broken, who will plan a strategy for me to attack the state city?" He called someone to help Chen Xu up, "You too, how can you talk back to the general, pay attention next time." "Chen Xu secretly hated in his heart, Lao Tzu gave you advice, attacked the city and plundered the land, and made great achievements, but he still couldn't match the status of a reckless man. Lao Tzu endured it, suffered a thousand hardships, and finally became a master, the halo of the protagonist is not covered, sooner or later you will all be prostrate at the feet of Lao Tzu. changed his face to a flattering smile, and with He Tao, Wan Yan admitted his mistakes. Finally, Chen Xu said: "General, the state city is built near the river and can be attacked by water. ”
He Tao was puzzled, "There is a lot of water in the vast soup of the Dongjiang River, but how can you raise the water level and flood it into the city, and not let it drain thousands of miles with the river?" Wan Yan sneered, "The idiot said a dream." You think you're a god. Chen Xu said: "Change the route, dig a new river channel from the upstream, so that the Dongjiang River will directly fill the north gate of the city." He Tao's expression moved, "It seems to be feasible, but the amount of work is a bit large." Chen Xu said: "Prisoners, so many prisoners are just right." And then they were driven to fill the city, and on both sides of the north gate they were to carry earth and fill in two ramps, which could not only confuse the enemy into thinking that we were attacking, but also serve as a dam. He Tao nodded, "It is indeed feasible, but it is likely that the state city will be full of corpses because of this." Chen Xu said ruthlessly: "Once the success is achieved, how can there be a war of immortals." Wan Yanyuan glared, "Brute, that's a civilian!" Chen Xu said: "It is better to kill the enemy than to kill your own sergeant." Wan Yan was choked enough. He Tao was ruthless, "That's it." ”
Ten days later, hundreds of thousands of Zhaozhou soldiers and civilians were all fish and turtles. The tearing Piqu was surrounded by guards and fled south in embarrassment. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing, and he was ambushed. Raising his eyes and looking around, it was He Tao's general Wan Yan. Pi Qu was furious, "Don't escape, kill me, fight with them." "The dog can still jump over the wall in a hurry, let alone the mourning soldiers. After all, Pi Qu is a high-level martial artist who has reached the spirit level, and he is followed by all the elite of the elite, with fewer enemies and more enemies, but he killed the Yu family's army on their backs. Wan Yan is just a scholar, and if he was not careful, he was cut under the horse by Piqu.
At this time, He Tao, who had climbed the Zhaozhou City Tower, did not see Wan Yan and asked, "Where is General Wan?" Chen Xu replied: "Ambush Piqu went." He Tao said angrily: "Confused, Pi Qu is angry, and he must fight to the death." Who let him go? Chen Xu said: "He wants to go by himself." He Tao glared at Chen Xu, "Tell me honestly, what did you say to General Wan?" Chen Xu lowered his head and replied: "I just analyzed the possible escape route of Piqu and the possible situation after the ambush." He Tao picked up his palm, endured and endured, but after all, he didn't shoot it, "You ・・・・・・, hello, you are ruthless." Leaving Chen Xu behind, he turned away. Others didn't understand the semantics of He and Chen at all.
