Chapter 227: Building a Railway
Formation, simply put, is to use this liquid to draw a certain pattern while infusing spiritual power into a liquid that can store spiritual power.
The simplest, such as drawing a fire talisman with cinnabar, is actually a simple fire array.
It's just a cry that falls on the ground, and a shout that falls on the paper.
At this time, when the array mages heard Yu Qiu's words, they were stunned again.
Ordinary people draw formations?
What happened to the alchemist before, they heard about it on the way here.
Now it seems that not only the alchemist, but even the array mage is also going to lose their jobs?
Yu Qiu, this guy, has to grab food to eat?
Seeing the expression of a bald-headed array mage, Yu Qiu knew what they were thinking, and chuckled: "From now on, you will transform from 'draftsmen' to more advanced 'designers', isn't it?" β
Although these people have never heard of these two words, the meaning is also easy to understand.
After a little thought, these people understood what Yu Qiu meant.
Yu Qiu made his thoughts and plans clear to the group that was researching energy boxes, and asked them to continue their research while making energy boxes.
There was a breakthrough here, but the other group fell into a bottleneck.
The task given to them by Yu Qiu was to study how to transform the parts that required divine consciousness into something that could be controlled by ordinary people.
The leader of this group, named Tian Si, was the leader of the ten array mages of Lingwu Temple.
After listening to Yu Qiu's "designer" argument just now, I was immediately interested.
Tian Si explained to Yu Qiu endlessly: "Sect Master, although we can convert human thinking into divine consciousness, ordinary people don't seem to be able to support it, so we are studying how to reduce the power of the magic circle......
Yu Qiu rubbed his brows.
For preconceived reasons, they have been thinking about how they can transform the minds of ordinary people into divine consciousness.
At first, Yu Qiu didn't pay much attention to it, and it wasn't until Tian Si said it at this time that he realized what they thought.
Yu Qiu didn't know if this idea would succeed, but at least his knowledge on Blue Star was not enough to support Yu Qiu and help them.
Yu Qiu raised his hand, stopped Tian Si's words, thought for a while, and then said, "Shall we change our thinking?" β
For Yu Qiu's thoughts, these people had already admired them extremely at this time, and when they heard Yu Qiu say this, Tian Si couldn't help asking, "Sect Master, what do you mean?" β
Yu Qiu took out a blank piece of paper from the storage bag, spread it on the table, and said while drawing: "Why don't you think about it and let ordinary people press their ideas directly with a button?" β
He draws something like a gamepad, and a little bit on it, explains: "This button is forward, this is backward......"
As Yu Qiu spoke, a group of bald-headed array mages around him all came over.
Although they were divided into different groups, they still gathered together to discuss problems with each other.
Naturally, I also know how tricky the situation is that Taji is encountering here.
After listening to Yu Qiu's words, everyone fell into deep thought together.
The seemingly unsolvable problem was actually given by Yu Qiu so casually...... Bypassed?
How did this guy's head grow?
After shocking a group of sub-array mages speechless, Yu Qiu did not continue to discuss the issue of the formation, but asked them to go back first and think about the current situation clearly.
Before these two groups research on the equipment that can be used, ordinary people who want to use magic weapons should not think about it for the time being.
Each of the two teams was equipped with a refiner to help refine the materials for the formation depiction.
There were still three refiners left, and Yu Qiu didn't let them be idle, and he thought of tinkering with another artifactβa train.
At this time, the matter of the two groups was roughly resolved, and Yu Qiu asked the people of the "train team" to go to the scene to see how the train research was going.
Others were just as curious and followed.
Most of the monks used flying boats to travel, one is because the flying boat is fast, and the other is because the spiritual power required by the flying boat is provided by the monks themselves, and they do not need spirit stones.
Cheap and fast.
But for low-level monks and ordinary people, if they want these people to also enjoy the benefits of cultivation, the flying boat is not cost-effective.
Even if Yu Qiu hadn't calculated how much spiritual power the flying boat consumed, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely much bigger than a train running on the ground.
What's more, to build a railway on the Qianyuan Continent, there is a big killer - monk!
Opening a mountain and building a bridge is just a few spells for monks!
For example, it took only ten days for Xia Zidao to build a road from Qiyang Town to Dongqingcheng.
This was still the case when he had spent most of his time cultivating in the Qiyun Sect.
At this rate, it would not be a problem for a condensate stage monk to be able to cultivate thirty or fifty miles a day.
After calculating the cost of building the road, it does not exceed 2 spirit stones per mile.
Even if the railroad tracks are added, the road from Qiyang Town to Dongqingcheng can be repaired with a maximum of 10,000 spirit stones.
It's like not wanting money!
Since this is the case, Yu Qiu will naturally vigorously promote it.
Now they have repaired a test railway from the mountain gate of Qiyun Sect to Qiyang Town, and have refined two test locomotives.
Although I don't know why the sect master called this thing train, it is not an inconsequential issue, and naturally no one is entangled in this matter.
The current train, like the flying boat, requires the spiritual power of the monk to continue to operate.
It will be necessary to wait until the other two groups have successfully studied the modules before they can be considered the final product.
The leader of the "train group" is called Xia Houyang, who is not of high rank, but he is good at refining flying boats, so Yu Qiu made him the leader of this group.
While walking, Xiahou Yang said to Yu Qiu: "Sect Master, the train has been made and can be put into use at any time. β
Yu Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "How about the load capacity?" β
"If the rails can support as much as they are, they can pull them as much as they can handle!" Xia Houyang's face was proud.
"Ugh." Yu Qiu scratched his head and hurriedly prompted: "I mean, what is the most economical load capacity?" β
"Economy?" Xia Houyang looked confused.
Yu Qiu covered his face.
Yes, these guys have never thought about the effect of refining weapons, and have never thought about what the "economy" is.
As long as the magic weapon works well, no one cares what the price is.
As for those mass-produced road goods, most of them are practiced by newcomers, or they are arranged by the sect.
Mu Yaowen followed Yu Qiu all the time, didn't say a word, just silently remembered Yu Qiu's words in his heart.
These wonderful ideas, even if they have not yet become physical objects, are also a valuable wealth for Dinghai Pavilion.
Hearing Xiahou Yang's words at this moment, Mu Yaowen chuckled, rushed before Yu Qiu, and explained to him: "What the sect master means is to say how much can be pulled under the premise of saving the most spiritual power. β
Xia Houyang let out an "ah" at this time, and shook his head at Yu Qiu embarrassedly: "I didn't think about it." β
Yu Qiu waved his hand to signal that it was okay.
Mu Yaowen gave Yu Qiu a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that my junior brother still understands economics." β
"A little bit of understanding, a little understanding." Yu Qiu said modestly.
Mu Yaowen gave him a blank look.
It's numb.
You know a little bit about what the hell it is!
In your mind, is it that you can't make a holy object, but you can only understand it slightly?
