Chapter 337: Hot Air Chariot (4k)
Has the Sword Intent Soul Locking been discovered? Staying in this courtyard for a while, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, trying to secretly mark the spiritual imprint on these people of the Great Ming Venerable Sect and the demon seed evil spirit, but only used the sword intent to successfully mark the three of them, and when they landed on the evil spirit, they were detected by the other party.
When she noticed the slight change in the movement of this person holding the five quarries, she felt a sinking demonic intent rising up to the sky, repelling the spiritual power of the non-demon type, playing a role in interfering, making it impossible for people to lock him in.
After Zhao Qing got the original of the annotated "Dao Heart Seed Demon Dafa", he knew that this was the method of using the demon seed to stimulate his spiritual potential, and because this evil spirit did not need to worry about the problem of the demon seed backlash, the effect of the outbreak was stronger than that of Xiang Yutian.
Although the spiritual power increased thousands of times under the bonus of the Void Fireball, Zhao Qing soon found that this increase seemed to only play a role in the void, with the effect of searching and sending ideas, and what really had an effect on the real world after thousands of miles was still only the spiritual power that she was involved in by the Illusory Channel.
Confirming that she would not be able to break through the mental interference here in a short period of time, she was not disappointed, on the contrary, she noticed that she had searched for these people who did not know the location of the original in a single thought, as if her wish had come true, obviously borrowing abilities that did not belong to her.
If you analyze it carefully, it seems that this is an ability of divination and arithmetic, and it retrieves the information you want from the void of heaven and earth, and then immediately shifts your perspective to this.
Could it be that this big fireball that can fuse spiritual power is a super information processor that can monitor and retrieve all the information on this planet at all times, so it can automatically help me lock the general location of the evil spirit when the intelligence is obviously insufficient?
Assuming that this is really a search engine covering the whole world, if you try to find the specific location of the Temple of War, will you be able to search for it?
Noticing that there was not much spiritual power left that he fused with the fireball, because he was not absolutely sure of entering this strange state again, Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he decisively drew a general image of the God of War Temple in his heart, and then the perspective was blurred, and he actually returned to the void.
Why didn't you find it? Yes, if you want to search for the most mysterious temple of the God of War in this world, it is not enough to have a general image in your heart, it is best to add various clues related to it, such as He's Bi, "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa", the two gems that I just glimpsed and so on.
The moment these thoughts flashed in Zhao Qing's heart, the perspective in front of her immediately changed again, but instead of throwing it from the void fireball into the distant heaven and earth, it showed an indescribable folding and shrinking process, and the huge fireball collapsed towards the deepest part of her mind;
Accompanied by countless changing dazzling lights and shadows, the surrounding environment was distorted, and the void and fireballs disappeared in an instant, and finally ten thousand soft blue-yellow light appeared, which was a spherical light source embedded in the top of the huge stone hall with a diameter of two zhang, illuminating the extremely wide and high space in the hall.
With this light source as the center, the top of the hall draws a circular star map with a diameter of 20 zhang, the giant hall is covered under the infinite stars, the giant hall does not see a pillar, does not see a thing, there is a relief of two zhang Xu see square on the ground in the center of the hall, there are also 24 relief drawings of zhang Xu see square on each side of the wall on the left and right sides, plus the relief map of the center of the palace, it is just forty-nine.
The relief carving on the ground in the heart of the temple is exquisitely carved, carving a god wearing strange armor and covering his face, and under his crotch sits a monster that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, and flies down from the upper left corner of the nine cracked thick clouds, and pounces on a blood-red fireball in the lower right corner, next to each thick cloud, from top to bottom it says nine heavens, eight heavens, and even the lowest one heaven.
When Zhao Qing's thoughts spread from this spherical light source to the outside world, she couldn't help but feel her contempt and shock in her heart because of this magnificent giant hall with a radius and a height of forty-nine zhang, and at the same time, she also confirmed that the builder of this hall definitely surpassed herself by several levels in the cultivation realm, and left his coercion in the hall, otherwise it would be impossible to bring such a feeling to herself.
So, is this the real Temple of the God of War? The big fireball that he briefly fused just now seemed to be the light source in the center of the temple roof?
Could it be that this high-level magic weapon, which is suspected to be an information processor and search engine, is actually the central core of the God of War Temple?
Under the coercion of the builder of the palace, Zhao Qing's almost exhausted spiritual power seemed to have been suppressed to a certain extent, and he simply explored the hall for a short time and recorded two or three reliefs of the "God of War Catalogue", and he felt an incomparably strong sense of exhaustion;
And found that the relief here has the original "free wind" stone carving that kind of effect to the shape of the gods, and more clever, on the surface is only to depict the relief of the posture of the god of war, in fact, the mystery is so mysterious, hidden in the world of secrets, but must be seen in the state of the gods, in order to have a little possibility to comprehend it.
Although she speculated that the reliefs were only a tool for the hall master to convey divine will, and the patterns themselves did not have profound martial arts, she still memorized the intricate carving details in multiple directions with millimeter precision, and did not intend to miss any clues.
While remembering with his heart, Zhao Qing also noticed that there were two people sitting cross-legged on the wall in the distance, both with burly backs, ancient clothes, not like modern times, and their bodies faintly exuded a mysterious Taoist meaning, giving people a sense of transcendence from heaven and earth.
One of them should be the teacher of the Yellow Emperor and the Taoist patriarch Guangchengzi in this world, who has proved that the "Broken King Kong" is here, the primordial spirit has soared, and the physical body has been transformed into some kind of hardest and hardest substance.
So, who is the other person? Why is it not mentioned in "Broken Void", is it lost by the people who entered the Temple of the God of War in later generations?
Just as she was secretly thinking in her heart, wanting to probe the latter's specific appearance under the spiritual coercion of this place to distinguish the identity of this person, the rich Dao intent emanating from the other party's body suddenly turned into a majestic demonic intent, repelling the spiritual power that had been probed, and just consuming the last energy of Zhao Qing's thoughts.
……
In the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Fushui, demarcate a large triangular fertile plain, and the two rivers flow through it, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides of the river, and finally merging into the river.
The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, among which the field where the Pegasus Ranch is located, the pasture grass is more particularly abundant, surrounded by mountains, enclosing the fertile field of more than ten miles square, only the east and west two gorges can be entered and exited, the situation is dangerous, and the natural screen of the pasture is formed.
When Zhao Qing's mind was rejected by the Temple of the God of War and returned to the body that was resisting the second stage of the flames, the sunset here shone obliquely, the fields and plains formed a colorful pattern, and there were lakes of different sizes, the pasture was fat, dotted with horses, cows, and sheep that were resting well, and the mountains at the end of the grassland were undulating, which was indeed a blessed land on earth.
In the Pegasus Ranch, Lu Miaozi thought about the design of the new chariot in his heart, and slowly walked out of the woods that surrounded the mountainside like a jade belt, and came to a position that overlooked the distance and near, and the ground in front of him expanded to infinity, revealing two four-wheeled carts covered with iron sheets parked on the slope dozens of feet away.
"I don't know, how much hot gas engine power is needed to adapt to the battle between my improved repeater chariot and bucket, and what level of lethality can it achieve for light cavalry, heavy cavalry, bow cavalry, and foot soldiers?"
"Qingya, you are a master of raising and taming horses, and you know the ability of good horses. You'll have to give me some help when we work together on the weapon and power systems of these two vehicles. ”
Gradually approaching these two heavy chariots with a length and width of more than half a zhang, not drawn by four horses, single-wheeled and two-wheeled, and square-wheeled, but four-wheeled and horseless, Lu Miaozi turned her head to look at a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in men's clothes behind her, waiting for her to walk to the side, and asked with a smile.
I saw that the other party had tanned and shiny delicate skin, half a head shorter than him, not burly, but well-proportioned and graceful, wearing a knee-high blue robe over the tailor-made white samurai uniform, and riding boots.
This woman, naturally, is Shang Qingya, the contemporary owner of Pegasus Ranch, Lu Miaozi, who was implanted with the Demon Seed of Yutian not long ago, was rescued from a serious illness and dying state, and recuperated in the ranch for a period of time, and finally recovered her spirit recently, accompanying the other party who returned from Daxing to conduct weapon tests.
If you don't observe carefully, if you are an outsider, you will definitely regard Shang Qingya at this moment as a man, and you can't tell the slightest abnormality, this is because she jokingly said to Lu Miaozi many years ago: "The mask you made is indeed a must, but it is only suitable for men, not for daughters, because when you become a man, no matter your body shape, you are full of flaws." ”
How do you know that a year later, Lu Miaozi presented him with his name "Outer Body", which can use a fake face and fake body so that Shang Qingya can pretend to be a man of similar size without any flaws, wandering around outside the Pegasus Ranch, and was unlucky to be seriously injured by the people in the Demon Gate who are suspected of killing love and liking men, which makes Lu Miaozi himself regret it.
After recovering from her injury, Shang Qingya knew that Lu Miaozi was still blaming herself for it, and took the initiative to declare that it was not a big deal, and deliberately put on the "outer body" again, saying that she no longer cared about the past.
In the afterglow of dusk, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the end of the basin is a vast prairie, the most striking is the lake embedded in the center of the grassland in a perfect circle with a diameter of seven or eight miles, reflecting the glow of the sky, sparkling and beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people dizzy.
On the high part of the grassland known as the "Luofan Lake", Lu Miaozi and Shang Qingya opened the door of the "repeater chariot", one to the front of the car, the other to the rear of the car, and began to carry out complex mechanism manipulation, fill coal fuel, and start to warm up the engine of the chariot.
Speaking of which, the engine equipped with this car is not a steam engine that boils water, but another kind of external combustion engine, known as a "hot gas engine" or "Stirling engine", which is suitable for various energy sources;
Whether it is liquid, gaseous or solid fuel, or solar energy, nuclear energy, etc., it can be used to change the air pressure in the cylinder, and there is no need to consume water to discharge steam like a steam engine, and the working fluid seal is isolated from the outside world.
To put it simply, the Stirling machine is to use external energy to make the two connected cylinder piston systems carry out the expansion and compression of gases and endothermic process, although the principle is similar to that of the steam engine, it belongs to the external combustion engine, but the structure is much simpler, and the speed and thermal efficiency are higher.
Theoretically, the Stirling engine can achieve the highest thermal efficiency of a real heat engine, up to 80 percent, in terms of converting heat into mechanical work, limited only by the undesirable properties of the operating gases and engine materials, and the upper limit is much higher than that of an internal combustion engine.
In order to overcome the shortcomings of the steam engine-powered vehicles and ships that need to consume fresh water and have to replenish them halfway, the Stirling engine used gas as the working medium and used the gas with the best heat conductivity - hydrogen.
However, due to the fact that hydrogen is very easy to leak and decompress, it must be shut down after a period of operation to replenish hydrogen, and the problem cannot be solved at all, and it does not play the role that the inventor intended to replace the steam engine.
However, after Zhao Qing's test, the internal force of true gas can just solve the problem of Stirling machine, because the experiment shows that the thermal conductivity of most true gas is higher than that of hydrogen, but under the action of internal force, the leakage rate can be much lower than that of hydrogen, which is the perfect working fluid in this process.
After all, the temperature rise of the flame system true qi after leaving the body is extremely rapid, and it is firmly controlled by the owner of the true qi, the heat is concentrated, and it rarely escapes, otherwise it will not play much role in actual combat, the thermal conductivity is extremely high, and the heat dissipation rate can be changed at will depending on the situation.
Even if the sealing degree of the cylinder is limited, and the true qi leaks in small amounts when the engine is running, there is no need to stop and replenish it like the hydrogen working fluid.
After overcoming this difficulty, ensuring the strength and heat resistance of the material, and using additional real gas as a lubricant for the piston, reducing friction loss, pressurized operation, and catalyzing the combustion rate of coal or charcoal through real gas, it is a high-efficiency external combustion engine that is superior to the top internal combustion engine.
After testing, although the engine was slightly crudely built, the air tightness was average, and the coal quality was not very good, the efficiency of the Stirling engine still reached almost 40%, which was nearly ten times higher than the highest thermal efficiency of 4% of the steam engine improved by Watt.
The efficiency limit of the steam engine is naturally much higher than the 2~4% of the Watt steam engine, but it is basically not more than 20% in modern times, and Zhao Qing does not know what the complex structure of these advanced steam engine pipelines and regulating systems is, and it must be better to specialize in a simple hot gas engine.
It has to be said that true qi, which has different properties due to different exercises, can be ever-changing, and has countless types, when used as a gaseous process material, is equivalent to the status of alloy as a solid material, and can be used to overcome various difficulties.
In addition to the coal currently known as "coal", which is mainly used for ironmaking, pottery, and limited production, the energy that can be used by the Stirling machine also includes the true qi of cold and heat properties, which can play the same role by simply cooling and heating down the low-temperature cylinder or the high-temperature cylinder.
As long as it is specially equipped with warriors for maintenance, it can replace animal power such as cattle and horses, and become the engine of large vehicles, so that chariots weighing thousands of pounds can surpass galloping horses in speed and can run long distances, thus completely changing the form of warfare.
At present, due to the large number of chariots that require a long time to be industrially produced, Lu Miaozi first completed several elite design heavy chariots that require innate good hand control in order to exert their ultimate ability.
You must know that although the innate good hands are insignificant in the face of the collision of big forces, they often act as cannon fodder, and they will be defeated in large areas when they meet top masters, but they are actually the top level that ordinary martial arts practitioners can see.
For example, the first master of Yangzhou, "Pushing the Mountain" Shilong, was just an ordinary congenital first-class, and the famous "Eight Gangs and Ten Societies" in the rivers and lakes were basically only two or three congenitals.
In fact, according to known intelligence and rough statistics, within the scope of the Sui Dynasty at that time, the total number of innate masters was definitely less than a thousand, if you exclude those hidden Buddhist and Taoist sects, it is estimated that the number is four or five hundred, which is still the result of the blowout of masters in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
At present, there are only 150 or 60 innate experts who officially belong to the country, and about half of them can be incorporated into the chariot army, and the elite craftsmen have specially used the basic machine tools such as turning, milling, grinding and drilling machines that have recently been manufactured to create a large number of hot gas engines and 50 new chariots, which is also enough to exert amazing combat power.
The part of the production capacity of more than 50 hot gas engines will be replaced by a batch of spare ones, and the other hundreds of units are expected to be equipped on the existing wooden chariots such as wooden donkey carts, trench bridge carts, hitchhikers, hungry hull carts, Linchonglu buses, and Yiyun carts that have been simply modified, so that they have the ability to run and fight over long distances.
Although he claimed that he did not want to study weapons of war, Lu Miaozi, after realizing the huge potential of the heat engine, was dissatisfied with the mediocre development level of other craftsmen, and took the initiative to take over the task of developing a multi-functional combat vehicle, and by the way, he helped Pegasus Ranch, which should have been left behind by the times and suffered heavy losses as a result.
Although the value of cavalry will drop significantly in the near future, and it will be difficult for a large number of fine horses in Pegasus Ranch to sell for as high prices as in the past, relying on the advantage of developing chariots first, the ranch has had time to transform into a top-tier depot.
