Chapter 534: Soul Melting
However, there are air intakes on both sides of the cabin that look like shark gills, which can continuously replenish the spiritual power of the wind system in the air. As long as it is not flying at supersonic speed, it is no problem to drive for as long as you are in the air at an ordinary cruising speed.
To say that Lu Ban is the originator of carpenters, this carpentry work is not covered. The wooden kite made of basha wood is so integrated that you can't see a single seam! And where the turning point is connected, even the wood grain is coherent! How did he do it? It seems that the whole wooden kite is a basha wood that grows directly like this!
In fact, part of this is the credit of Yao Ji's Tree of Life after the branches and leaves were added, so that the four wooden kites seem to be plants grown from the soil, and they have vitality!
Everything is so perfect, Zhang Fan and his companions have one more activity, training and controlling wooden kites every day! It's a fun activity that even the goblins love. However, these goblins, who are used to mining underground, are not afraid of heights at all, and they are very talented in such difficult work as flying airplanes! Zhang Fan, who is lazy to learn how to control wooden kites, likes to fly in the sky on wooden kites controlled by Yoda and skeletons.
…………
Akon, who was busy, was even busier after making the wooden kite. Because the refining of the ironclad alchemy battleship has been put on the agenda again. The manufacturing base of the alchemy warship was moved to a nearby lake. Yunmengze has many lakes and is a good place for shipbuilding. But the lake is not large, and it is connected to the swamp, and the draft is too shallow. The Alchemy Battleship must be given an extra shallow swamp ride capability.
With the production method of the machine ship in Mozi's "Mojia Technique", coupled with Lu Ban's joining guidance, the manufacturing process of this alchemy battleship was very smooth.
The bones of the two sea giants were compressed and refined, and in order to ensure the quality of the keel, the spine of the sperm whale was compressed to thirty meters after refining to make the main keel. You must know that the spine of this sperm whale is nearly forty meters long. The sea snake's nearly 100-meter spine was also compressed to 60 meters and refined into side keels around both sides of the hull bulkhead. Together with the ribs next to the spine, they are also integrated into a transverse rib. The sea serpent has a side keel on its spine and a row of bony protrusions on the outside, making the frame of this battleship look wild.
In this way, the basic framework of the battleship is there. It's just that Akon looks sideways and vertically, and this narrow warship looks like a fierce undead yacht. But when the sloppy Taoist refined the giant's eight-meter-long and ferocious horn on the skull of the sperm whale in the bow, the blue-black angle faintly flashing with thunder made a hideous and vicious warship aura come to his face!
The thick skin of the sperm whale is 40 centimeters thick, and it is made into the outer layer of the cabin wall and the U-shaped bottom of the ship, and in such a strong bulkhead and bottom plate, there is even a layer of sea snake scales! The robustness of its housing is evident.
The thick skin of the giant beast, which had already developed patches of thick scales, was still strong on top of the whaleskin, and was made into the main deck, which was spread out on the deck of the ship. The deck bracket structure and the ship's side are reinforced with the ribs of the giant, and the ship's side is wrapped in thick leather armor that extends to the bow and tail of the battleship to defend against flanking attacks!
The low deck cabin was made of condensed giant turtle armor to refine the curved top cover. The two sides of the top cover merge with the side of the boat, leaving no gaps. This hard carapace cover can withstand even a direct hit by a shell from the battleship's main gun!
Moreover, there are eight flat bone spurs extending from each side of the turtle armor, which protrude outboard on both sides of the battleship, and cooperate with the bony protrusions on the spine of the sea snake in the bulkhead below to defend the side of the battleship. There is one more means of attack to rub against the opponent's hull. These flat, sharp bone spurs can easily tear apart the bulkhead of the opponent's ship!
The bow of the ship is a bow compartment made of the skull of a sperm whale, and a bow post made of jaws is attached to the spine keel. In the front of the skull, the ramming horns made of the giant horns are attached, and the two huge eye sockets in the back can be equipped with weapons in the future. The sperm whale's head is very long, accounting for more than a quarter of its body length, so the bow compartment is narrow and wide.
The bow cabin is 10 meters long, 5 meters wide, 6 meters out of the front angle, the front end is arc-shaped upturned, very sharp, the root diameter is 3 meters, wide and solid, like an exaggerated conical riding gun.
The bow compartment and ramming angle occupy nearly half of the length of the ship, making the entire front half of the battleship appear slender. The narrow sperm whale skull, with a wide turtle armor attached to the back of the head, transitions from the bow compartment to the wide and bulging hull, and there is no gap in the connecting parts, as if it has grown into one, and the protection is very tight, as if the unicorn demon whale has grown a pair of wide and convex arc back armor. The carapace is ovate, narrow in front and wide in the back, 12 meters long and 8 meters wide, protecting the deck below and the main cabin.
Behind is the stern cabin, which is made of the skull of the sea snake, and the stern pillar is also connected to the spine keel, the sea snake has a big mouth, which is very fierce, and the two eye sockets can also be equipped with attack weapons! Under the jaw of the stern compartment is the propeller of the spiritual thruster, which is also made of the large bones on the two pectoral fins of the sperm whale, which can provide very strong power for this warship.
The structure of the skulls of both sea beasts is strong enough to withstand impact! In particular, the skull of the sperm whale has a thick forehead, and after the addition of giant ramming horns, it is indestructible!
On the whole, this alchemy battleship, which is 35 meters long and 8 meters wide at its widest point, including the collision angle, is narrow in the front and wide in the back, and has a drip-shaped hull with a streamlined arc that is very beautiful. Looking down from the deck, some of them look like narwhals with spines on their backs.
The hull is U-shaped, full on both sides, and the ribs of the battleship are rounded because the ribs of the animals are rounded, so the ribs made of whales and giant sea snake ribs make the sides of the hull round, and it looks a bit like a hybrid of a ship and a submarine. In fact, thanks to the three demon beasts that live in deep water, this alchemy battleship can indeed dive.
The bed compartment is made of light balsa wood with an inner floor and inner bulkhead, which separates the cabin, so that the hull weight will be very light. The cabin is a bit more spacious than it looks from the outside. This was because the space rune array was routinely refined inside.
Now that the entire battleship has been refined, the only thing missing is the weapon system, because there is no suitable large-scale attack prop, it seems that in a short time, it can only rely on the bone spurs on the ramming angle and the side side.
The next step is the most difficult, because this battleship uses the alchemy materials of the bodies of four demon beasts, so it is difficult to refine the soul of any demon beast into it and become the main soul of this item. Because it can only take care of its own body parts, which repels the other parts of the battleship.
"There's only one way to fix it!" The sloppy Taoist Zhengse said, "Today I am going to teach you a very important skill of Taoist alchemy, 'Soul Melting'!" ”
Akon gasped, this skill sounds so cruel and difficult! Do you want to refine all the souls of the four demon beasts into this battleship?!
"It's not simply to refine the souls of the four demon beasts into this battleship, it's to first fuse the souls of these four demon beasts into one soul, so that this demon soul can exert its most powerful ability!" The sloppy Taoist speaks amazingly.
How easy is it to fuse souls together?! Zhang Fan had a hard time believing that this could be done. Because in Buddhism, the soul of sentient beings is the embodiment of the seven senses of obsession, which is a deep kind of self-grasping! It's completely exclusive! It is only when we reach the eighth sense, when we have understood the alayas of the true knowledge of good and evil, that we can see our self-grasping for the first time.
When Zhang Fan was carved in the Li Gao Ye Sutra, it was precisely by breaking through the consciousness at the end of the seven senses that he could sweep away the pain of self-grasping, but at that time, he had not yet broken through to the eighth consciousness, the alayya consciousness. That is, we have not yet been able to completely distinguish between good and evil, and get rid of self-grasping.
What is self-grasping, that is obsession with me, never allowing others and other things to infringe! The ego of this sentient being is so deep that even the bodhisattvas can't get rid of it! Could it be that Taoist magic can do it? No way!
The sloppy Taoist could see Zhang Fan's thoughts, nodded and smiled: "Of course I can't let these demon souls get rid of their self-grasping, but I don't need to let them get rid of their self-grasping." It's hard to lose the soul of something, let alone the self. All we have to do is induce these spirits to feel like we're getting something. Let them think that after fusing its soul, they will get the ability of other demon beasts, and they will merge very willingly! In fact, when we fuse the soul into the props, it is also a kind of way to make the souls feel that they have a body, and they will consciously and voluntarily merge into the props. ”
"Well, that's fine. Why does it sound like a lollipop to cheat a child? Akon also thought it was a bit sinister, "What if they don't agree to merge?" ”
"Then let them kill each other." The sloppy Taoist shrugged his shoulders, "It's like refining Gu." But in that case, the demon soul that is refined will not be as powerful as the self-fusion! ”
Akon's 'Yellow Springs Ghost Record' is the most haode soul-melting vessel. The sloppy Taoist released the souls of giant turtles, giant turtles, sea snakes, and sperm whales one by one to communicate, and found that the souls of sperm whales were still relatively easy to speak. This sperm whale is very kind by nature, and its wisdom is much higher than that of the other three demon beasts. That's why I will respond to the call of Master Jian Zhen and come to the rescue of the shipwreck!
What's more, sperm whales were not killed by the humans present, so their affinity with everyone is much higher. Therefore, the sloppy Taoist is determined to take the soul of the sperm whale as the main soul, and it also corresponds to the main part of this battleship - the main keel!
The giant man below was very stubborn and arrogant, and although he was killed by the sloppy Taoist, he still had a spirit of not admitting defeat, which was very consistent with the temper of the battleship made of horns. But disobedient demon spirits can't do it! Otherwise, everyone will stay in the ship it presides over and still be able to sleep?
The giant turtle is a timid and fearful demon spirit, otherwise it would not have shrunk in the small lake next to Kyoto, Japan for thousands of years, and it has not been found and killed. Therefore, under the coercion and temptation of this despicable master and apprentice, they soon reached an agreement with the sperm whale.
