"This 'Shenxiao Electric Heavy Armor' is one of the heavy armor models developed by the 'Zhushan Workshop' before the Battle of Qinchuyang Mountain nine years ago, and it was installed in the Baisheng Army under the command of Fan Dongliu, the general of our dynasty, and about 200 units were produced, and it can only be controlled by cultivators above the four realms."

The craftsman surnamed Zeng thought for a while and introduced: "As one of the military standard talismans today, in addition to the certified famous craftsmen, only generals and guest secretaries who have made enough achievements for Dachu can hold the ...... privately Otherwise, it is a felony."

"It's not much use to buy this thing."

Chu Liuyun added: "The structure is too complicated, the maintenance rate is extremely high, and there must be a military craftsman responsible for maintenance, even if it is secretly loaded in the car and transported away, if it is used in the rivers and lakes to fight, it is not as practical as the flying sword, and it can only come in handy in a battle to the death......

The craftsman surnamed Zeng shook his head and said, "Moreover, each pair of True Yuan Heavy Armor, due to the consumption of too many rare materials, the cost is more than 100,000 gold, and the supply price starts at 150,000 gold, which is much more expensive than a flying sword of the same level. Even if you buy it and collect it, it's really not very cost-effective......

With the introduction of the two of them, Zhao Qing also gradually understood the situation of this type of weapon: Zhenyuan heavy armor is actually a backbone force that fills the vacancy in the melee field of the army, which is equivalent to the positioning of heavy cavalry or tanks, and is used to seize land supremacy on the battlefield.

On the battlefield filled with gunpowder between dynasties, when the light of the long-range talisman that had been fired several rounds gradually dimmed, and the armies converged like a torrent, at this moment, the most and fastest life of the reaper soldier was the flying sword flying at high speed.

Together with the top masters of the Six Realms and the Seven Realms, they implemented various tactics, cutting the battlefield into independent spaces, and fiercely competing for air supremacy in each area.

"Good attackers, move above the nine heavens." Since the Yu Dynasty created the dynastic era, the air supremacy dominated by the flying sword has always overridden the land supremacy in the past, and on the battlefield, once the air battle is lost and the power to contain the flying sword is lost, it is basically a defeat that is irretrievable.

However, war is never a one-dimensional contest. The sword master of the Five Realms and the Six Realms Natal Soul can't be like the Seven Realms Grandmaster, suspended in the air like an idle cloud and a wild crane, ignoring all conventional attacks on the ground.

As long as they are caught in the late-stage melee, they may be hit by several low-level swordsmen rushing to their side at any time, as well as the crossbow arrows and rune chariots that rain down like a torrential rain, and in many cases, they can only rely on their own strength and the strength of their attendants to resist these sudden attacks.

This is the important role of "land supremacy", coupled with all kinds of heavy talismans that can threaten high-level cultivators, if you can achieve a significant advantage on the ground and focus on killing the lone flying sword controller on the ground, it can also affect the current battle situation to a certain extent.

As a result, the specialized anti-flying sword unit soon became the main development direction of all parties in the new era, which extended a number of roads, among which the tactics of charging against the flying sword controller with elite armor soldiers wearing heavy armor were once regarded as a model.

Cultivators and martial artists who are generally wearing heavy armor are already ordinary weapons that are difficult to injure, and sharp blades cannot pierce, but if a more powerful team of cultivators is replaced with a thicker "True Yuan Heavy Armor", they can reach the level of defending against non-frontal attacks of the Divine Mind Realm flying sword.

On the battlefield, these most elite armor soldiers can basically ignore the cutting of flying swords coming from the side, and only need to block some flying swords and giant arrows that stab directly, and then they can focus on frontal impact on the enemy formation.

The heavy armor worn by ordinary warriors and heavy cavalry, even if it is a little different, weighs only more than 300 catties, but the heavy armor worn by some cultivators is made of unique refined gold, and with a variety of corresponding blades, it can easily reach the weight of 1,000 catties.

Because the runes of the True Yuan Heavy Armor are the channels for the circulation of the True Yuan, and there is almost no difference between them and the meridians in the human body, the True Yuan of the cultivator flows within these precise runes, but he will not feel that this Heavy Armor is heavy, and his movements and speed will not slow down much than usual.

These heavy armors opened and closed wide on the battlefield, rampage, and for the killing and charging of ordinary soldiers, they were far more than even a few cultivators who used flying swords, and they could easily plow a bloody path among ordinary soldiers.

The only flaw is that it is too heavy, it must be worn by a cultivator, walking and fighting need to consume some true yuan, and the staying power is slightly insufficient, but because it eliminates many protective dodge actions, there is no need to sense the changes on the field at all times, and many times it is more energy-saving.

Nowadays, such as the Jin Ge Army of the Chu Dynasty, the Youjia Army of the Qin Dynasty, and the Yin Yuan Heavy Cavalry of the Yan Dynasty, are all trump card troops equipped with the "True Yuan Heavy Armor" with almost all personnel, and their combat effectiveness is enough to crush people hundreds of times that of ordinary troops, and their reputation is extremely prominent.

Most of the ordinary elites who are inferior to the "Heavy Armor Army" are also equipped with rune light armor made of exotic animal skins, bones, heavenly silk, spirit spider silk and other materials, and the protection is not bad - like the previous Bashan specialty armor lizard, which can be used for leather armor kneading.

It is worth mentioning that in order to reduce the interference when fighting against high-level cultivators and strengthen the protective force, the famous generals of each dynasty basically have their own battle armor, but because the materials are more high-end, they are usually not too heavy, and they can adapt to flexible air combat.

In the past, the "Netherworld Divine Armor" of Emperor Youdi himself, the "Green Degree Armor" of Li Nian, a famous general of the You Dynasty, the "Silent Snake Scale Armor" used by Emperor Chu today, and the "Thousand Mountains Cold Snow Armor" of Wei Hou of the Qin Dynasty, etc., are actually as widely spread as many famous swords in the world, and are the topics that people in the market and rivers and lakes talk about.

"At a fixed price, 300,000 gold, do you sell it?"

Although it was only a mass-produced True Yuan Heavy Armor, Zhao Qing, who had seen this kind of talisman for the first time, still wanted to study more, so he directly gave an extremely attractive price: "Even if it is a 'scrapped' True Yuan Heavy Armor, it is enough to be a top-level collector's item."

It could be seen that the two craftsmen actually wanted to sell this thing, and specially reminded them of "loading it in the car", "collecting" and "supply price", so she naturally found an excuse for it to not be considered controlled ordnance after "scrapping", and bought it easily.

As for the bid of 300,000 gold, it sounds very amazing, but in fact, the "gold" here is different from the main world, referring to copper rather than real gold, that is, 300,000 catties of refined copper, according to the price of gold and copper here, it is about equal to more than 2,000 catties of gold, and Zhao Qing can fully afford it.

However, everything dares to be sold, and the cultivation sect is too "commercial", so it is no wonder that the Chu Dynasty has been infiltrated by various people, and the management of the private workshop is too unqualified, as long as the enemy spy can afford the price, he can easily buy the secret craft.

"Deal!" In the end, it was a cultivator of the Divine Mind Realm, and this time Chu Liuyun agreed, much faster than the craftsman surnamed Zeng: "Once you make a move, you will not return it...... In addition, I can provide the carriage for transporting goods, and if it needs to be repaired in the future, it can also be reduced at some price."

"With a pair of heavy armor missing, what reason are you going to find to explain to the military?" Seeing that the other party agreed on the spot, Xia Mi was also curious: "Even if it is reported as 'scrapped', won't anyone come to check?"

「…… Naturally, it's because I still have some really 'scrapped' heavy armor wreckage on hand, and the harvest of cleaning up the battlefield before."

After making an unprecedented amount of money, Chu Liuyun was in a good mood, but he hesitated for a moment before replying: "Let me mention a few more words here, the 'Shenxiao Electric Heavy Armor' mainly emphasizes mobility, although its protection is good, but it is not as good as those top column heavy armors."

"When encountering a special dark iron armor-piercing arrow, you must use a giant shield to block, rely on the reactive armor attached to the shield surface to reduce the damage, and tilt the unloading, once you are hit head-on, there is a high probability that you will be seriously injured. In addition, some highly viscous fire oil bombs are also quite restrained against heavy armor......

Just as the original intention of the development of the True Yuan Heavy Armor was to counter flying swords, there are now many weapons that specialize in anti-heavy armor, and then the Heavy Armor has developed technologies such as "reactive armor", and has reached a certain ingenious balance between them.

……

Soon, together with the Shenxiao Electric Heavy Armor, Zhao Qing bought all the existing talismans in the workshop, including two flying swords, three sets of flying needles, heart protection magic mirrors, sword control fingers, spirit gathering kettles, qi roulette wheels, etc., totaling more than 500,000 gold.

Thanks to the popularization of external hard skills, the productivity of the commoners of the major dynasties was not low, and the per capita living conditions almost reached the level of the peak of feudalism in normal history, but not

In this way, more than 500,000 gold is equivalent to the tax revenue of a county for several years.

Obviously, in this day and age, it is much more profitable to open up mines than to collect agricultural taxes, otherwise the dynasty would not be able to afford to raise thousands of Zhenyuan heavy armor, countless standard ordnance, and maintain the expenditure of millions of troops all year round.

The value of agricultural output is significantly lower than that of industry, and in a sense, such ascetic dynasties already belong to industrialized countries.

These various runes used thousands of different runes, but with Zhao Qing's current vision, the central idea was to try to make them an extension of the cultivator's body, merging with the flowing true yuan, so as to drive the specific moves.

In order to perfectly simulate the form of the "meridians" in vitro, the fineness of the runes and runes of high-quality talismans needs to reach the point of being exactly fine, especially the "tricks" where the true elements meet, and it is even more important to sort out the channels where the yuan qi flows.

For Zhao Qing, although she has refined a set of extremely powerful divine weapons, this is actually more inclined to the skill of casting, in the world of the Sword Dynasty, it belongs to the specialty of the sword furnace of Zhao Guo, and the systematic refining technology, she does not know much, and she needs to learn a lot.

And the exquisiteness of Chu weapons, in addition to the Youwang Dynasty that was at its peak hundreds of years ago, can be said to be the first in the world, and the development is very layered and deep, if you can understand the mysteries, it is obviously much stronger than your own amateur study.

At that time, Zhao Qing can also be regarded as making up for one of his shortcomings, becoming a master in the refining of magic weapons, and can touch the bypass, and can skillfully use the power of divine weapons and magic weapons.

Furthermore, with the help of the power of countless craftsmen of the Chu Dynasty, she was able to gather the wisdom of the people and gradually carry out the implementation of several earth-shattering and grand plans that transcended the times.

For example, building a rune spaceship, starting the mining and smelting of space spirit ore, making full use of various transcendent spirit ores within the solar system, or developing a high-energy Yuan Qi particle acceleration collider to explore the nature of Yuan Qi.

However, speaking of which, the talisman craft in this world also has some shortcomings.

Compared with the main world, those magic weapons that can release attacks remotely are not counted, and most of the runes of the True Yuan Heavy Armor and Flying Needle Flying Swords, which often have to be hard to hit, are easily destroyed, disturbed, damaged, or even stripped off.

On the other hand, the treasures and low-level magic weapons created by the craftsmen of the Yue Kingdom are all internal patterns, and the distribution structure of various spiritual materials in the artifacts is used to adjust the vitality path, although the borrowing of the vitality of the outside world is slightly worse, but it is far superior in stability, and it is an extremely unique technology.

Given two bags of gems, Zhao Qing immediately left a spiritual imprint on the "Green Feather Sword", manipulating and spinning a few times, but he was not in a hurry to move the heavy armor of more than 1,000 catties, but continued to wander around the Xiajiang Workshop for a while, and then suddenly said to the craftsman surnamed Zeng who was accompanying him:

"What kind of minerals do you have here?" Iron, pure gold, crystal, copper, lead and mercury, and so on."

「…… Do you want to try refining your own talisman?" Taking the risk of selling heavy weapons to the military, the craftsman surnamed Zeng was also a little more cautious, turned his head to look around, saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice:

"Nianjing is not for sale, dark iron, pure gold, etc. are one percent higher than the market price, and conventional materials such as lead, mercury and sulfur, if you buy more, can be a few points cheaper than the market price—how much do you want?"

"How many materials does it take to refine two alchemy golems, an alchemy matrix for elemental transformation?" Zhao Qing glanced at Xia Mi on the side, and said, "You 'alchemy master' quality, I have to give it a try, put it to the test."

"Elemental Transformation Circle? What metal are you trying to consume the Philosopher's Stone on?" Xia Mi immediately spoke with a rare spirit? Xinyan replied, "Rhodium? Iridium? Californium? Francium? The difficulty is also different......

In the legends of alchemists, the Philosopher's Stone is the stone that can turn all metals into gold, and it is also the medicine that can make people immortal, the most sacred thing in alchemy.

However, in fact, the real Philosopher's Stone is not so magical, it is impossible to "turn stones into gold" directly in your hand, but it has to rely on a special elemental transformation matrix, and it can be obtained when it works

Consumes a certain percentage of Philosopher's Stones depending on the amount of conversion.

If you want to convert gold, depending on the raw materials and the efficiency of the conversion matrix, this ratio is roughly between 1:1000 and 1:10000, which means that 1 gram of Sage's Stone can only produce a few thousand grams of gold, which is usually very worthless.

As a dragon king who understands the price of precious metals, Xia Mi knows very well that the prices of many scarce metals are actually far above gold, and theoretically speaking, it is naturally more cost-effective to convert them.

However, Zhao Qing's answer couldn't help but stunned, and she felt that the other party was really arrogant: "The simplest lead conversion to gold, pay attention to the matrix cannot be in a closed form, so as to facilitate my inspection and exploration."

Is it really the existence of mastering spiritual elements? The Philosopher's Stone obtained from the hunter was nothing to her! Since Zhao Qing has not yet explained in detail, Xia Mi still prefers to believe that the other party is actually the White King Benlong who successfully escaped the clutches of the Black King.

As for the alchemy puppet, although her own level in this regard is average, and the puppet she created is far less powerful than the one created by Norton, but if she can put on the True Yuan Heavy Armor and adapt to the bonus effect of this kind of talisman, it will also be a warrior who has swept away thousands of armies!

Although this speculation was quite close to Zhao Qing's thoughts, she didn't know that the reason why Zhao Qing planned to observe the elemental transformation matrix was actually to study the change process of the atoms in it in detail, and try to deduce the possibility that she would guide the nuclear reaction with her mental mind.

The exchange of divine thoughts between the two was a long story, but in fact, it was only a moment's work, and Zhao Qing quickly purchased a batch of materials from the Xiajiang Workshop that were far more than the materials needed to make these alchemy props, and almost hollowed out the entire workshop.

"With so much material, what are you two going to do?" Although he had a good impression of Zhao Qing, the big customer, the craftsman surnamed Zeng also had a little suspicion in his heart that they might be Qin Fang's secret spies, so he hesitated for a while and said:

"If you want to refine talismans and feel that the skills of our workshop are not up to the task, my senior brother and I can also recommend you to go to the 'Tiangong Pavilion' or the 'Zhushan Workshop', introduce the order to the 'Famous Craftsman' and 'Holy Hand' there, and let them complete it at a premium."

"If you have a secret talisman blueprint on hand and don't want to be known, it is still safer to hand it over to a regular alchemist to make it, and with our character and reputation and the ten fingers of our hands as a guarantee, we will never leak any information about your guests......

Of course, if there is a problem, it is natural that you still have to report it.

"Since you say so, then I'll tell you." Zhao Qing nodded: "The talisman I plan to refine next is called: 'Infinite Grain Production Divine Machine'."
