Speaking of which, the history of the metal capital is earlier than the Sun Empire and the Silver Moon Empire before the merger, and there is no conclusion on the specifics, but one thing is certain, since the advent of the soul guide, this city has appeared.

In the soul master's mind, the metal capital is a holy land, the land here is very barren, almost no food can be grown, and the scenery is also very depressed, and all the mountains are bare as far as the eye can see.

But this place has the richest mineral deposits, and all the metals needed by soul masters can be found here, so this city, which only accommodates 600,000 people, has more than 100,000 soul masters.

The soul master inheritance of the Douluo Continent is stronger than that of the Sun and Moon Continent, but the soul master is attributed to his own power after all, and the soul guide can be used in all aspects, the buildings of the metal capital are very modern, high-rise buildings, smelting tools, and soul guide workshops......

The Eternal Chamber of Commerce repaired the platform a mile outside the East City Gate, and the circular platform was full of figures, and all the black-robed soul masters were watching the rail cars coming from a distance.

Everyone had a pondering expression on their faces, a speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour was not very fast, the soul guides they made would only be faster, and the twenty-meter-long car looked quite big, but it was not difficult for these soul masters with special skills.

But in the past, only soul masters could make artifacts that shocked the world, but now a group of ordinary people actually participated in such a feat.

This can be interpreted as a challenge to a soul master by ordinary people, or a desire by ordinary people to seek a higher social status.

With a sharp whistle, the rail car slowly entered the station, and after the carriage door opened, people stared at the first person who came out, and it was the wise man who provided technical ideas for those craftsmen, and made ordinary people who were originally peaceful become restless heretics.

Then, the others followed Gu Zhi and stepped onto the platform, looking at the metal capital in front of them one by one, and even the black-pressed soul masters on the platform were ignored.

"I rushed from Half Moon City to the Metal Capital in an hour and a half, which is not slower than riding a horse."

"If you reinforce the pulley device and domesticate the thousand-year-old gibbon to pull the car, the speed can be doubled, and the carriage can be increased by three more cars."

"That's not the case, the faster the speed, the greater the drag, and if you want to increase the speed, you have to redesign the front of the car."

……

As soon as the craftsmen got off the train, they gathered together and began to discuss how to improve the railcar, and in any case, they showed their faces in front of the people they had looked up to, which was enough for them to brag about for a while.

"This technique is not difficult, it's just laying railroad tracks, and then using the iron gibbon to pull the wheels, if I were to design it, I would use the wind and thunder spiral array to design the power plant, and only a fourth-level soul master can propel such a car for five hundred miles."

"That's right, if you add a wind-breaking circle to the front of the car, the speed can be at least doubled." "Not only that, but I think you can also add ice circles to the wheels, so that there is less resistance and the speed of the car can be faster."

……

On the other side, the soul masters also gathered together, talking about this rail car as commonplace, but they knew in their hearts that the soul guide needed soul power to drive, and if they wanted to drive a twenty-meter rail car, they needed a soul master above the fourth ring, how could these soul masters who were accustomed to being high above be willing to be a coachman for others.

Even if you add money, you still have to be embarrassed.

"So you want to copy our practice, this is blatant theft, it's a crime, Yueshu, you have to keep an eye on it."

Gu Zhi glanced at those soul masters, he agreed with the words of these soul masters, for soul masters, it is not too simple to draw gourds in the same way, if you really want a group of soul masters to design the rails and rail cars, they will do a good job.

Hearing this, Yue Shu snorted lightly and said, "Every track laid by the Eternal Chamber of Commerce has my share, you have to reach out and think about the consequences." ”

Now the soul masters were quiet, they could be proud of the rail car that seemed to be just like that, but in the face of the princess Yueshu, they could only remain humble.

Suddenly, the black oppressive favor opened a way out, and Xu Yan, who was wearing the prince's crown robe, walked towards Gu Zhi, followed by his son Xu Zhe, and several people in official robes, and at the back of the line were two armor soldiers who were pressing a middle-aged man with a dignified face.

"Mr. Gu is right, according to the Ming Code, stealing other people's technology should be punished by parading the streets and serving more than three years of forced labor."

Xu Yan, the king of Pinghai, popularized the law for the people present with a righteous face, and the existing Ming code was revised on the basis of the original laws of the two countries, and many new regulations were added, mainly to limit the privileges of the nobles, and the punishment was raised to the level that could deal with the nobles and officials.

That is to say, officials and nobles steal and are guilty of the same crime as the common people.

But in fact, whether it can be completely enforced depends on two words, after all, the law is dead, but people can be flexible.

Saying that, Xu Yan, the king of Pinghai, nodded at Yue Shu and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess don't have to worry, the Sun and Moon Empire is prestigious, and no one dares to offend the laws established by my empire." ”

Yue Shu let go of Gu Zhi's hand, her face turned straight, and she replied: "I've seen Uncle Shi, Kamayue Province is the area under your jurisdiction, and the natural laws are strict. ”

In the original timeline, the Yue clan was wiped out by the Xu family, because this generation of the Xu family had the Zihuang Heavenly Dragon Martial Spirit, but before that person had time to be promoted from the prince to the emperor, the Yue clan got the divine scroll.

Because of this, the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire will be Yuexi.

Gu Zhi ignored the business blows between the two, but noticed the middle-aged man who was escorted to the back of the line, if he remembered correctly, this was a fireworks-making craftsman, his name was Liang Wu, after coming into contact with the black powder formula, this person asked him some theories for making artillery.

Then he explained to this man solid shells, flowering shells, anti-aircraft guns, mortars...... To be honest, he was very optimistic about this man and thought that he could make an "Italian cannon".

It's just that this Liang Wu left the workshop after listening to the class, Gu Zhi hadn't seen him for almost a month, and he didn't expect goodbye to be such a scene.

Xu Yan, who came to attack on purpose, waved his hand, and the officials and Xu Zhe behind him immediately got out of the way, and the two armor soldiers came to him with Liang Wu, who had empty eyes, and he said in a deep voice to Gu Zhi:

"Mr. Gu, killing people according to the Ming Code is a capital crime, but this criminal who learned from you is even more so, he did a tragic death, overnight, sixty-eight people in the Baron's Mansion of the Flying Eagle died, and the Baron's Mansion turned into a sea of fire, affecting nearly a thousand innocent people, such an atrocity has never happened since the establishment of the empire, even if he is sentenced to Ling Chi, it is difficult to comfort those who died.

If he learns the skills from you, then you are naturally his teacher, and you should be implicated. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liang Wu's eyes lit up as if he was dead, he subconsciously avoided Gu Zhi's gaze, and scolded King Pinghai angrily: "I have not worshiped under the Wise Man, I have no master-apprentice status at all, and what I do has nothing to do with others." ”

The crowd of onlookers gradually reacted, first of all, they noticed that the person who was being escorted was an ordinary person, and he killed an entire baronial mansion, and the person who could have the title was at least a fourth-level soul master, how could such a person be killed by ordinary people The whole family.

Xu Yan smiled coldly, and took out three black guns from the ring on his hand, which were seven or eight points similar to the "Italian cannon" in Gu Zhi's impression, but because the materials used were stronger than high-carbon steel, the diameter of the muzzle was close to twenty centimeters.

Without any explanation, everyone present realized that this was a weapon, and it was extremely powerful, and the most important thing was that it came from the hands of an ordinary person.

He also used this to destroy a baron's palace.

"You and Mr. Gu really don't have the status of master and apprentice, but you have the truth of master and apprentice, if you don't have his guidance, how can you create this cannon that is as powerful as a fourth-level soul guide."

As soon as Xu Yan's words came out, he immediately stirred up a storm, and the soul masters present shook their heads in unison, muttering to themselves: "Impossible, impossible......"

The next moment, they shifted their gaze to Gu Zhi's face, and in just two months, they had asked an ordinary person to create an artillery cannon comparable to a fifth-level soul guide, such a person was really a heretic.

Stomp ......

A burst of unhurried footsteps sounded, Gu Zhi walked to the three guns with a calm face, and after taking a closer look, he said to Liang Wu, who was buried in his head: "You are really a genius, there is actually rifling in this barrel, and the rifled cannon was directly made across the smoothbore cannon, which is very good, really good, if I don't have innate soul power, I am not sure that I can do better than you." ”

Climbing the technology tree in the Douluo World is an almost impossible thing to do, even if a legion of tens of thousands of people is equipped with artillery and rifles, it can't fight against a ninety-nine level peerless Douluo, let alone a god-level existence.

A strong man who can break through space is not something that can be locked by conventional technology, even if a nuclear bomb is created, how can the launch speed of several times the speed of sound hit a god-level powerhouse.

At the very least, it has to be an antimatter bomb for an aviation-grade electromagnetic railgun to threaten a true god-level powerhouse.

It took Douluo World 30,000 years to create a space carrier and an antimatter bomb, but to deal with a powerful quasi-god capital being defeated and retreating, it is conceivable that how to hit the enemy is the biggest problem for technological weapons in the face of extraordinary powerhouses.

In the face of this eager compliment, Liang Wu replied a little overwhelmed: "I made some earthen cannons before I met you, but the power is very weak, not as good as those five-stone strong bows, it's you ......"

He swallowed back the words that he almost blurted out, as the last reward for Gu Zhi, he would never admit that Gu Zhi had taught him.

The corners of Xu Yan's mouth on the side curled slightly, and said, "Since Mr. Gu admits that he has a master and apprenticeship with this criminal, then please come with me." ”

According to the Ming Code, Liang Wu was charged with the following crimes, destroying the door, and destroying public order, but he was alone and had no relatives or friends, otherwise this implicated crime alone would have made his family and division commander sentenced to death.

Gu Zhi and him are not in a formal master-apprentice relationship, and they can't be convicted of a big crime if they say that they break the sky, but for Xu Yan, it is enough to have such a name.

"The dean of the Sun Moon Royal Academy will give a public lecture every half month, and the teachers and students in the academy can go to listen to the lecture, can the entire academy claim to be the dean's disciples."

Yue Shu walked up to Gu Zhi and stood side by side with him, looked at King Pinghai and said, "Uncle Shi, don't forget the four words of strict law. ”

Apprenticeship is a very serious matter, not only to be widely publicized, but also to follow a set of special etiquette, so that the relationship between master and apprentice will be recognized.

"Her Royal Highness the princess said with a smile, this king didn't say that he wanted to convict Mr. Gu, but just asked him to go back with me to assist in the investigation, after all, he has a lot to do with this tragic incident."

Xu Yan said in a compassionate tone: "The knowledge imparted by Mr. Gu contains a powerful power, which can enable ordinary people to create such a powerful firearm, but the human heart is complicated, once such a power is used in the wrong way, it will be a disaster, and the Flying Eagle Baron's Mansion is a living example." ”

As soon as they heard this, the soul masters present immediately echoed their words, and just thinking about it made them shudder, if ordinary people could build artillery, then how could soul masters like them maintain a transcendent status, not to mention that they had to guard against the retaliation of ordinary people who had been oppressed.

"There are enough people here, and the parties are all there, and these Fa Yin are also present, how about trying this tragic case here?"

Gu Zhi's eyes were cold, and everywhere his eyes passed, everyone nodded one after another, even the King of Pinghai who came to make trouble.

He glanced at Liang Wu and said, "Why do you want to destroy the Flying Eagle Baron's Mansion?" ”

In just two months, you can eat through rifling, gunpowder formula, air pressure, parabola...... and so on artillery production theory, and make real objects, there is no doubt that Liang Wu in front of him is a military genius, in addition to talent, there should be something else that drives him, let him do his best to do it.

Everyone present focused on this middle-aged man, with a simple appearance, half-gray and half-gray hair, and rough and cracked palms......

It's about the same as the usual old farmer.

In front of everyone's eyes, Liang Wu's eyes were full of fierce light and talked about the past.

"My family was originally in a small village in Feiying Town, when I was only eight years old, there were grandparents, father and mother, and raised a few lambs, one day my mother was feeding the lamb in the yard, and suddenly a golden eagle flew down from the sky, seeing that the lamb was going to be taken away, my mother immediately picked up the wooden stick by the wall to drive it away, and then was an arrow through the chest.

My father heard the commotion and went out of the house to see an eagle pecking at my mother, so he took a stick on the ground and tried to hit the eagle, and then another arrow missed.

Then, the grandparents also went out, they were too old to have the strength to fight the eagle, and they were shot and killed after just pointing and scolding. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, looked up at Gu Zhi, and said word by word: "I was by the murderer's side at the time, washing the black horse he was riding, I didn't know what he was shooting at that time, but he was really happy, and his smile was so bright, he said it several times and hit all four arrows!"

So, as long as I live, his whole family will die. ”

It is because of the bitter hatred that this fireworkman who has never studied has done what Blue Star has done for hundreds of years.

"He killed your whole family, you killed his whole family, this is karma, you did nothing wrong."

Gu Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "But since there is a law in the world, then those who violate it are guilty, and you have to admit this punishment." ”

"Actually, I wanted to kill myself after paying homage to my relatives, but I didn't expect these people to come so quickly and catch me when I ran out of fifteen shells."

Liang Wu turned his head reluctantly, stretched out his hand and pointed at King Pinghai and said, "These people are not qualified to judge me, but the wise man said that I am not wrong and guilty, then I admit it." ”

Obviously, this is a game.

When Liang Wu decided to implement the revenge plan and buy a large amount of black-veined iron, he was noticed by someone with a heart, but this person didn't expect him to be able to build such a powerful firearm, but this can just be used to hold Gu Zhi hostage and make some compromises.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"This king is deeply sympathetic to your experience, but you still can't avoid going to Ling Chi Stage."

Xu Yan crossed Liang Wu in front of him, came to Gu Zhi and said, "Mr. Gu, such a tragedy is really unbearable to look at, so please come with me, we need to discuss how to prevent this from happening again." ”

Liang Wu's ability to build artillery was Gu Zhi's guidance, which was heard by more than a thousand people present, and he admitted it himself, so no one could fault Xu Yan's behavior at the moment.

"This eucalyptus is not completely finished."

Gu Zhi pointed at Liang Wu and said: "The Flying Eagle Baron's Mansion that he killed also made a tragic death, and it should also be judged, even if they are dead, they must find out the matter, and after the investigation, they will set up a monument on the ruins to record this matter, in addition, the local Fa Yin ignored the destruction of the Sect, which is a dereliction of duty and should also be punished."

After doing this, the coffin can be closed and executed after the autumn. ”

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from the crowd of soul masters.

"Lord Wang, you are a gentleman, you really regard yourself as a character, you are just a white ding, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here."

Everyone immediately clasped their hands and looked at Gu Zhi with a sneer, even if you are good-looking and have such a little talent, even the princess is fascinated by you, but you haven't married the princess yet, and you are not even a concubine.

It's too early to call the shots.

Gu Zhi walked to the three cannons, stretched out his hand and stroked the cold barrel, and said with a smile: "This is just an artillery comparable to a fourth-level soul guide, if I do it myself, I can create a cannon comparable to a seventh-level or eighth-level soul guide, you shouldn't imagine what a thousand cannons are like against a city, but I'm pretty sure I can do it." ”

He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a goatee immediately flew out of the crowd and took the initiative to crash into his palm.

"When I am reasoning with you, you will obediently listen to me and do what I say, because if you talk about violence, many people will die."

The truth is only within the range of the cannon, and even if you want to lead the change through capital, you still have to start the war song of iron and fire.

I really went there and brought the war there.

Gu Zhi casually threw the person in his hand in front of King Pinghai and said, "I have already made it very clear, this matter will be handled like this." ”
