Chapter Seventy-Three: Qinglei
In fact, strictly speaking, Yanli should be called a "runemaster". It's just that for the sake of a literal correspondence, Fei Cai stubbornly made a Western fantasy term.
However, here he is the greatest God who has made him, and whatever he says, it is naturally what he says.
As a result, Yanli inexplicably became a "wizard......
Due to this unexpected discovery, Fei Cai asked Biluo and Yan Li to pause their respective matters and focus on the runes first.
In the following time, Biluo mainly taught the meaning of the law of gravitation and Newton's three laws to Yanli, and Fei Cai also came over from time to time to see the situation while training the construction team.
The first goal he set for Yan Li was to write a rune with practical value. As for what constitutes "practicality", he has set a standard:
When fully charged, it is capable of lifting an object of 100 kg to a height of one meter per second on average, for at least 3600 seconds.
As for how this standard came about, it's actually quite simple.
A simple mental arithmetic shows that "lifting an average of 100 kilograms of objects by one meter per second" is equivalent to an output of 1,000 watts, which is about a little less than 1.5 horsepower, and 3,600 seconds, or one hour.
In other words, the rune should be able to output power at about 1.5 horsepower and last for 1 hour.
To put it bluntly, the practical standard of this rune is to shoot it out of Fei Cai's head, but when it really comes out, I'm afraid I won't find a use?
1.5 horses is not a small number, for example: air conditioning is a notoriously large power consumer, but the power of air conditioning is generally only 1.5 horses;
What is the essence of the Industrial Revolution? It is a revolution in the way energy is obtained.
Throughout human history, before the first industrial revolution, energy came from human and animal power.
After the first industrial revolution, energy came from the steam engine.
After the Second Industrial Revolution, energy came from electricity.
By the time of the Third Industrial Revolution, part of the energy of human beings came from mass-energy conversion, which is commonly referred to as nuclear energy.
And now, a new way of energy acquisition is about to appear in Biluozhai - runes.
Fei Cai could already envision the beginning of an industrial revolution that would affect every Umno people, and he decided to call it the "Rune Industrial Revolution".
However, the foundation of this revolution is shamans and witches, that is, the basis of this revolution is theocracy. Therefore, instead of shaking the theocratic society that Fei Cai envisioned, it will make theocracy more stable.
The research on the first utilitarian rune is in full swing.
On the other hand, the military training of the construction team is also progressing in an orderly manner.
Since yesterday, Fei Cai has started the weight-bearing cross-country running subject, but this "load-bearing" is far less strict than in modern times, and each member of the construction team only needs to carry a shovel and carry five kilograms of stones.
However, the cross-country route is a real mountain road, and the team members are encouraged to help each other during the run. Over the past few days, Orion Bull has gradually shown his outstanding physical fitness, not only can he easily run the whole distance, but several times some people have fallen behind due to physical exhaustion, and they have also relied on him to help him run with weights.
After doing this several times, Niu Dali also gained some prestige in the construction team, so Fei Cai took advantage of the situation to appoint him as the temporary captain to assist him in managing the construction team.
After a period of queue training, the construction team has basically been able to charge in a dense formation, and the weight-bearing cross-country training during this period has also improved their physical fitness. Fei Cai was going to start the "shovel fighting" training in a few days, and the routine was basically copying the tutorial of bayonet training, and as for how much role he could play in actual combat, he really didn't know how much he could play in his heart.
It's just that, referring to the level of "war" of the previous two stockades, Fei Cai felt that as long as his side could form a neat and dense formation and rush forward in one go, it would probably be enough to lay the victory.
The battle with Jinglei Village, he planned to start in two weeks.
......
Qinglei walked along the mountain road to the north, as long as she crossed the hill in front of her, it was the agreed trading place.
She is the witch of Jinglei Village, and Qinglei is her original name, but the elders think that this name is too weak, and suggest that she call herself "Jinglei" to the outside world, which is conducive to establishing prestige in the village.
Qinglei felt that it made sense, so she did it, but she still liked her original name.
Green buds, green buds, this is like a girl's name.
Her feet were very fast, and it didn't take long for her to cross the hill, and some distance further on, there would be a peculiar-looking banyan tree, which was the place she and the other party had agreed upon.
The same trade has been made several times, and if it goes well, this will be the last.
Turning a corner, Qinglei saw the banyan tree, and there were three people standing under the banyan tree, all with cloths covering their faces.
"Did you bring anything?"
When the other party saw her approaching, he didn't say much nonsense, and asked bluntly.
Qinglei took out a folded piece of paper from her arms, showed it to the other party, and put it back again.
"Where's your stuff?" she asked.
The leader of the other party gave him a look, and the man on the right pulled out a worn-out book from his bosom, and put it back after only showing it for a moment.
Qinglei bowed slightly.
The other party is from the Central Plains, although they cover their faces and also speak the Wu language, they can still hear it by listening to the accent.
And she once guessed that the other party might still be a petty officer, because he brought two retinues with him every time, and judging from the standing posture of the entourage, it was likely to be a soldier.
It's just that for Qinglei, it doesn't matter what the other party's identity is, what matters is that the other party can bring her what she wants - the book of war.
Although it is only the most superficial military book, for her, it is simply a treasure. In the first few transactions, the other party gave her a few chapters, the elders in the village knew the Chinese characters of the Central Plains, and after translation, Qinglei knew how to train the soldiers and how to arrange the formation, which were necessary to defeat Biluozhai.
Just like Fei Cai felt that the war between the two villages was simply a group fight, Qinglei also felt that the villagers under her command were fighting in a disorderly manner, and with the appearance of this rabble now, it was a fool's dream to defeat Biluozhai.
She heard the elders say that the reason why the Central Plains army is so strong is that in addition to being well-equipped and supported by war poems, there is another reason, that is, they have a set of systematic methods of marching and fighting, and the books that teach these methods are the books of war.
But the problem is that the Central Plains Xuanguo has long banned border trade with the Wu people, not to mention sensitive things such as military books, even iron tools, grain, etc. are not allowed to circulate, and the things from Xuanguo in the Wu people are all purchased at high prices through smuggling channels.
Just when Qinglei was at a loss, a smuggler helped her get the strings, and finally she and the current person connected to each other.
The other party doesn't want money, just let himself collect some news, Qinglei is a witch after all, and it is not difficult to inquire about the news in these witch clans. It's just that there are all kinds of news, and she can't guess what the other party wants to know.
According to the last agreement, after she handed over the information collected this time to the other party, the other party would hand over the entire military book to her, she was confident that with this military book, it would be enough to defeat Biluozhai, and then whether to annex Biluozhai or not has not been considered, but the disputed cultivated land will definitely be taken over.
"Let's start exchanging. Qinglei said.
The leader of the other party nodded.
Seeing the attendant on the right step forward and take out the book, she also put her hand into her arms.
But at this moment, she saw a strange color flash in the eyes of the other attendant.
