Chapter 373: Talents are Rare

readx;? The host asked: "Xin Yan's armed merchant ships can be sold so well, naturally there are unique features, in order to let everyone better understand Xin Yan's armed merchant ships, we specially invited Master Xu Ming, a merchant ship refining master in the Qingyun Realm. www.biquge.info Master Xu, you are a great expert in refining merchant ships, what do you think of Xin Yan's armed merchant ships. ”

Xu Ming said: "Well, what you said is very good, the armed merchant ship designed by Xin Yan is indeed unique, this kind of merchant ship does not have any superfluous decorations and luxuries, which makes it look very simple, even a little simple, but this is precisely its biggest advantage, because in this way, the space saved on the ship can be used to install six ballistas, twelve crossbow arrows, and can also be installed with solid armor." This gives armed merchant ships a fairly formidable force to deal with small-scale rogue attacks, and even more so if they form a fleet. ”

"In your opinion, what is the level of combat power of the armed merchant ships?" said the host, striking while the iron was hot.

Xu Ming analyzed: "Well, it should be said that it is very good, except that the speed is slightly inferior to that of a warship, its firepower and protection are not weaker than that of a small warship." In addition, in addition to combat capabilities, its ability to carry cargo is not inferior to other cargo ships. With it, small and medium-sized trading houses and sects no longer have to worry about small groups of rogues, and they can open up new trade routes. ”

"As you said, armament can be used both to carry cargo and to fight, which is really practical," the host said. Xin Yan's success also made the major shipping companies see the prospect of armed merchant ships and began to design armed merchant ships. However, it is said that the major shipping houses encountered a number of difficulties in designing armed merchant ships. Master Xu, can you analyze for us, is it really so difficult to design and build an armed firm?"

Xu Ming's voice immediately cheered up: "First, arming merchant ships seems simple, but in fact they are not easy to build. Because it is the product of the perfect combination of warships and merchant ships, it is a completely new concept. We know that for a long time, the manufacturing technology of top warships has been in the hands of a few powerful factions such as Kunlun, Fangcun, Beiju Luzhou and Yiyugong, while the major ships only have the ability to manufacture ships, and have no experience in manufacturing warships, so for them, the most difficult thing is how to configure powerful firepower attack and protection capabilities for warships. ”

"Second, the Yuan-destroying ballistae and Tianfeng Sun-Breaking Ballista used by the armed merchant ships of Tiansha Peak do have their own uniqueness, not only have a long range and great power, but the rate of fire is more than three times faster than ordinary ballistas and crossbow arrows, an absolute nightmare for rogues and pirates. In addition, Xin Yan has also designed the Tian Yuan Xuan Turtle series of detachable armor, which can be loaded or removed at any time depending on the degree of threat. In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of merchant ships taking high-risk routes, but also reduce the weight of merchant ships when taking low-risk routes, which is very flexible and convenient. ”

"Third, the biggest feature of the merchant warship designed by Xin Yan is that the degree of modularity and integration is very high, which is definitely a genius initiative. He divided the merchant warship into a number of functional modules according to the functional blocks, and during the construction, a variety of modules of the same scale could be built in the same part of the merchant warship, and after the merchant warship was built, it could be equipped with different modules according to different tasks and before going to sea, so that a ship could have a variety of combat functions. And, most importantly, after the merchant ship is damaged, the damaged part can be removed as a whole and replaced with a spare module. This is definitely a genius feat. However, it is said that this is not an easy task, and it requires extremely high requirements for the design and engraving of the runes. If it weren't for the genius of the rune array like Xin Yan, it would definitely be difficult to do it. ”

The host nodded and said, "That's true." When people mention Xin Yan, they will immediately think of his glorious achievements in defeating the heroes and fighting in the north and south, but people tend to overlook one point, that is, he is also a genius rune array master, an all-round cultivator who is almost omnipotent, and he is proficient in almost all production techniques, which makes him have a broader vision and more flexible methods when designing merchant warships and rune arrays......

......

Xin Yan soaked in the water, listening to Yin Gui comfortably, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

The effect of his retreat practice this time is very good, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has entered the realm quickly, and in less than three months, his spiritual power cultivation has broken through from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan, and his spiritual power is abundant, comparable to that of a late Jindan cultivator. His Heavenly Fire Refining God had also cultivated to the middle stage of Soul Cultivation, and his divine sense had become extremely powerful. The Nirvana Heart Sutra also successfully broke through the third realm of spiritual body attainment, and the body became stronger.

The repeated praise of Xu Ming and the host in Yingui made him feel both proud and a little blushing. There is no doubt that he proposed the design of merchant warships, and that he initiated the modular design concept. However, he only put forward a rough plan, and it was Kong Qingxi and the production cultivators from Cloud Island who really implemented and refined all this.

Most of these production cultivators were from humble backgrounds, and almost no one in the cultivation world knew their names, but it was these production cultivators with unknown origins, under the leadership of Kong Qingxi, who worked together to solve one problem after another, and created one miracle after another.

Of course, all this has a lot to do with the open academic environment and enlightened management model of Yundao and Tiansha Peak.

Usually, whether it is in Cloud Island or Tiansha Peak, all the classics of production skills are open to everyone for free, and after Xin Yan got the ten classics out of the Linfeng Pavilion in the North Courtyard, he immediately recorded the copies of these classics into three copies and distributed them to the Lingxiao Sect, Cloud Island and Tiansha Peak for all production cultivators to borrow and study.

In addition, Xin Yan would send these experiences to Kong Qingxi as soon as he realized them, and asked him to organize all the cultivators to study and study.

Driven by Xin Yan, whether it is in Yundao or Tiansha Peak, everyone is willing to share and study their research results with everyone, and the atmosphere of collective research and learning is very strong. Some cultivators with similar cultivation realms and similar hobbies will spontaneously form research groups to study topics of interest to them.

Xin Yan is very supportive of the emergence of these research groups. In order to make these studies more efficient, he also reorganized the research groups according to the nature of the topic. At the same time, he also commissioned Nangong Yunshan to specially formulate the application method for the research materials of the production cultivators, and provide various supports for their research.

The strong academic research atmosphere and enlightened and rigorous management methods have made production cultivators from all over the world come to take refuge, including many masters, and their participation has raised the level and strength of Tiansha Peak production cultivators to a new level.

Xin Yan was taking a bath, and Xu Jue walked in.

Xin Yan glanced at Xu Jue, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, "You've worked hard for this period." ”

Xu Jue was very moved by Xin Yan's encouragement, he wiped his eyes that were a little moist, and said: "I am willing to serve the adults, and I will not hesitate to smear my liver and brains." "These days, Xu Jue has been very busy.

Xin Yan used armed merchant ships to annihilate the Tianlan Hailiukou, and the news of the successful opening of trade routes spread quickly. The comptoirs came to order armed merchant ships, and the orders were lined up three years later.

In order to improve the production level, Xu Jue recruited more than 300 refiners and painters and more than 1,800 apprentices, added 13 new docks, and increased the production rate of armed merchant ships from the original monthly output of three ships to the level of 30 ships per month.

But even so, he still couldn't cope with the orders that flew in like snowflakes. He wanted to continue to expand production, but he encountered a huge problem, that is, how to manage so many people.

At present, there are more than 2,000 technicians, talismans and apprentices in Tiansha Peak alone who are refining warships, plus the cultivators who are engaged in mining ore and the cultivators who are responsible for logistics and supply, there are no less than 5,000 cultivators.

The influx of more than 5,000 people has transformed Tiansha Peak from a dead and silent deserted place into a noisy workshop, where the lights are bright all night long, and there are extremely busy figures everywhere.

With so many people, not to mention directing them to refine the warship without disorder, just ensuring their logistical supplies such as food and pills is a big problem.

Xu Jue was originally just a small business house clerk, and he had no experience in managing so many people.

Fortunately, at this time, Ruoxi reached out to him in time. In order to alleviate Xu Jue's burden, Ruoxi transferred her right-hand man Hu Tian's shopkeeper from the Lingyuan of the trading house and asked him to serve as the treasurer of Tiansha Peak to ensure production needs and logistics supply.

In addition, Wenxiu, Ruolan, Kong Qingxi and others also firmly supported him, and the Lingxiao Sect and Yundao also did their best, asking people to give people and things, giving him and Tiansha Peak great support.

With the help of everyone, Xu Jue gradually adapted to the role of the chief steward of Tiansha Peak, and under his management, everything was in order and not disorderly at all. But managing such a big belongings, Xu Jue is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't even have time to rest.

Xin Yan glanced at Xu Jue, who was a little haggard, and said, "It is important to earn spars, but as people who cultivate truth, we strive to break through the realm of cultivation and pursue the path of immortality. Otherwise, everything will be in the mirror. He sighed, then said, "It seems that I need to find a few helpers for you." Xin Yan decided that he must be good at creating some talents who are good at management and share the burden on Xu Jue, Ruolan, Wenxiu and others.

However, whether it is Yundao or the Lingxiao Sect, there is a shortage of talents who are good at management, and they really can't spare manpower to support Tiansha Peak. As for Ruoxi's side, the merchant group is being created and is in need of talents, so she transferred Xu Jue and Hu Tian, two capable cadres, and she was already very busy, and he really couldn't bear to ask them for people again.
