Kong Ming's words quickly spread out, Kong Ming resolutely did not participate in the battle for the throne between the princes, and the reason was so sufficient, so that everyone was surprised, what was even more surprising was that when Kong Ming was examining the princes, those high-level sages were next to them, and their words and deeds were in the eyes of the guardians of these empires, this remark shocked all the ministers involved in the battle for the throne, you must know that in the past, those high-level sages who were above the top disdained to participate in this kind of game that made them think that they were children's players, they thought that no matter who was the emperor of the empire, As long as it is still the descendants of the Tang family, there are not too many requirements for others, so as long as the emperor and the ministers go through a formality, the next emperor will be decided, of course, it is still necessary to say a slogan of selecting talents and talents, otherwise it is really difficult to convince the public to choose a fool to come out, but this owe the guardians of those empires actually participated in this battle for the throne, and also acted as an assessor, which made those families who were ready to gamble on the emperor's road how embarrassing, you must know that in the past, they could fight for a good future by means of guò, and now those high-level sages are intervening in this matter, all of them have become unknown, and they don't have much to do with them, and the credit of the former emperor is gone. And Kong Ming's decision that the gods decided that the eldest prince and the third prince were out was approved by most people, because in their opinion, Kong Ming didn't do much, it was just a letter, and Kong Ming, a frontier minister, was qualified to decide the future of these princes, only the patron saint of the empire was the one who issued this decision. For a while, Kong Ming also got rid of a lot of boring statements in the imperial capital about Kong Ming's decision on the ownership of the throne.

"Yiyi, how many layers of Kongming's statement can be convincing?" The second prince sat in the study, looking at Yiyi, who was reading with him on the side, and the two had been dating for many years. It can be regarded as a love match, not to mention that in order to increase the probability of the second prince being selected, she went to the distant Harvey to mix with a group of mercenaries alone, how many people can be this kind of determination? So now Yiyi has also become the second prince's virtuous helper, and the second prince has to ask for her opinion on many things.

"Ninety percent is convincing, and the remaining ten percent is not so convincing. Yi Yiyi said with a smile, she and Kong Ming have worked together for a year, and in this year, in many boring times, in addition to correspondence with the second prince, one of her biggest hobbies is the study of Kong Ming. If it is said that it will not be her to find a person who knows Kong Ming the most in the imperial capital, but she is one of the people who know Kong Ming best.

"Which ones are convincing and which ones are not convincing?" the second prince then asked, knowing that Kong Ming's support was really too important to him, he had a total of three contacts with Kong Ming, and the last two times changed his image in the emperor's mind a lot. And the husband and wife followed Kongming's method, and as a result, they won the support of most people. Let his image among the people be a thousand miles a day. Last time we met. Kong Ming even removed the two fierce rivals of the eldest prince and the third prince, and let him stand out in the competition, if Kong Ming withdrew from the battle for the emperor, he would definitely not believe it. It's like a wolf staring at a rabbit, it says it won't eat, does anyone believe it? Not to mention that Kong Ming still needs the future emperor's support for his conquest of the East China Sea.

"His remarks about the colt must be convincing. But he said that it was unconvincing not to participate in the struggle for the throne of the empire, otherwise he would not have removed the two people he looked down on the most, you know, he didn't want those two people who looked at him unpleasantly to come to power. If this is the case, then there will be hardships in the future. Yi Yiyi smiled, she did guess something.

"Then how can we win his support?" The second prince's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, it was true, the eldest prince and the third prince fell so suddenly, without any signs, which made everyone feel very sudden, which was in line with the statement of a sudden attack among the soldiers. And their downfall also greatly disrupted the plans of those ministers in the imperial capital, allowing a large number of ministers who supported the two to quickly shift their targets, otherwise they would be eliminated from the competition. Although Kong Mingtong Guò's remarks got rid of a little suspicion, people with a discerning eye know that this matter is inseparable from Kong Mingke. You know, he sent the letter. It's a pity that they have no way to know Kong Ming's words to Li Feiyang, otherwise they must know that Kong Ming is the initiator of this matter at all, but as Kong Ming said, he is just pushing the boat with the flow, what the empire needs is a capable emperor, not an emperor who puts on a score.

"I think you should make it clear to him yourself, the first I think is to let him hold a wedding, so that he can take the sixteen noble women in the open, and the second, after ensuring that he ascends the throne, express his full support for his plans, and must let him put aside the worries that the horse will not be able to take power. I think with these two points, he should be able to accede to our request. Yi Yiyi said, in fact, Kong Ming as a former mercenary, many mercenary habits are still retained, so as long as they pay enough price, Kong Ming will inevitably push him to the top, of course, as Kong Ming said, he can't decide the emperor's candidate, because this is the family matter of the royal family, but he can eliminate those who don't meet the requirements, and this is his key point.

The second prince thought for a while and said, "I think it's the same, I'll visit him in person, so it's even more sincere." ”

"Then when are you going to go?" Yi Yiyi asked, now is a sensitive time, every move of the three princes is subject to people's attention, and they have no secrets for the imperial capital.

"I'll go now, and I'm going in the open. I want them to know that Kong Ming is a talent that I must strive for. The second prince seems to have made a great determination, he is going to disobey the emperor's words in this way, but his reason seems to be very sufficient, he wants to see his sister, and no one can prevent an elder brother from visiting his sister.

Kong Ming didn't know at this time that the second prince was desperate to pull him on the shelf. He was walking around the Coastal University, and it was not a good thing to sit blindly, and it would always make people feel more comfortable in their hearts. Suddenly, a group of people in front of them were roaring loudly, making a mess of the university that had just calmed down. Kong Ming was very unhappy in his heart, who called the ghost early in the morning, and let people live no longer? It's just that Kong Ming also happened to walk over there, so he wasn't too impatient, and some things should be dealt with slowly, otherwise many things will deteriorate if he is in a hurry. A few minutes later, Kong Ming came to the place where the wolf roared. I saw a group of guys in magic robes still crying and howling here, and in the center of them was a young magic thrown into the sky by them, constantly tossing between the sky and the hands of people. At this time, the crowd had gathered all around. Kong Ming asked a magician next to him, "What's going on here?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just that their group solved the problem of carving magic circles on top of steel. The man replied absentmindedly.

This is an extremely difficult problem in the wizarding world. There used to be so-called pundits who said that it was impossible to carve a magic circle on steel. Because many metals are insulated from magical energy. Other words. Magical energy cannot be transmitted on them, and some people have thought of carving magic circles on the iron, and then using Mithril, which is a good conductor of magic energy, to fill in the lines to connect these magic arrays, but because Mithril is too soft. When they are embedded in the iron, they will change at some point, so that the magical energy cannot flow normally on it, which is the biggest problem that causes this problem. And this is a very useful technique in the wizarding world. Once settled, there will be a lot of new things that will emerge. For example, these steel filled with magic arrays can be used to make ships, increase the ship's resistance to wind and waves and the speed of the ship to a comparable level, and also improve the protection of the ship by more than ten grades, and perhaps the flying magic array of the wind system can be embedded on it to make the whole ship fly or become lighter, but for some unknown reasons, this problem has not been solved. Now that someone has suddenly sued Sù Kongming to solve it, how much credit is this?

"Really?" Kongming was really a little hard to believe.

"Of course it's true, don't you see those crazy people so happy?" he muttered.

"Hehe, if it's true, then they can go crazy for a lifetime, not just this once. Kong Ming said with a smile, this is a lifetime honor, and the whole empire will be crazy about this matter.

Kong Ming lined up the crowd and walked in, because there were celebratory crowds all around, few people noticed this young man wearing a mercenary uniform, you must know that Kong Ming has always maintained the habit of wearing a mercenary uniform, after all, in Kong Ming's opinion, this kind of mercenary uniform is far more comfortable and convenient than those noble clothes, which also makes Kong Ming's wives complain to him a lot about this matter. Kong Ming walked around the excited crowd, walked in front of an old magician, and asked, "Huge Master, what's going on?"

"Oh, Headmaster, it's because we've broken through the problem that magic circles can't be carved on steel. Headmaster, from now on, I think we'll have ships that we can fly. "Pang Shushi is a seventh-level fire magician, and he is also a powerful alchemist, in Kong Ming's opinion, he should be able to break through to the holy level in alchemy in the near future, alchemists usually have a very deep study of the various uses of magic arrays and magic items.

"Let the battleship fly?" Kong Ming's voice carried a trace of excitement, you must know that he is going to fight far away for this technology, once he gets this technology, then it can be said that the military strength of the entire empire will not rise by three grades, it is exciting to think about.

"Headmaster, this isn't what you think, well, please come in and I'll tell you slowly, it's too noisy here. Pang Shushi made a hand gesture to Kong Ming to invite in, and Kong Ming walked in along the place where Pang Shushi's hand was formed. The two of them stopped in this simple office, and now the whole Coastal University is like this, after all the buildings are built, there are only some simple facilities, and the decoration is basically impossible to talk about. After Pang Shushi closed the door, there were only some faint noises outside, which did not affect the conversation between the two. The two sat down in their chairs, and Pang Shushi began to state his reasons to Kong Ming.

"Headmaster, once we can carve the magic array on the steel, then we can carve the several magic arrays of the wind system on each steel plate. For example, the Floating Magic Array, the Flying Magic Array, the Acceleration Magic Array, etc., the combination of these formations is engraved on it, plus some control measures, we can make the steel battleship fly in the sky. Pang Shushi said slowly, there was a trace of excitement in his voice that could be clearly felt, thinking that even at his age, it was an exciting thing to make such a breakthrough, after all, this was an epoch-making progress.

"How long is it before we can get those warships flying with our current technology?" Kong Ming asked, practical is the key, and sometimes theory and practice are too far apart. It will cause some unnecessary losses, so Kong Ming must ask this question clearly.

"We don't know yet, we don't know what kind of equipment is needed to fly a huge object, we don't know what we need to pay attention to, we don't know what we need to pay attention to, this qiē needs to be slow step by step. Only in this way can it be truly put into practice, otherwise even if it is created, it will not have enough practical value. And let the society be eliminated. "Pang Shushi is a practical talent. Practicality is the real Peugeot that they can enter the field of vision, otherwise, it is just an experiment, and even the real room cannot be walked out.

"So what's the difficulty now?" Kong Ming wanted to make this technology really apply to warfare in a short period of time. However, Kuming is destined to be disappointed. Because this is really a large-scale project, there is nothing in the world that can be done in one go.

"There are many difficulties, but the main thing is the lack of money, if there is money. Then it will be fine, and it will speed up the whole process. Pang Shushi said that every project needs funds to start, and it is impossible to do without money.

"Let's think about it differently, well, what I say below may be a taboo for some alchemists, and if I say it inappropriately, I ask the master to forgive me. Kong Ming thought about it, he must use this technology to the war as much as possible, because new technology will always speed up the process of war.

"Please. As a master-level figure, Pang Shushi is not unaware of the strictness of things, but Kong Ming can tell him such a thing so openly and honestly, which makes him very moved, at least people are sincere.

"Well, the empire will buy it out and sell it to other alchemists, of course, these people are limited to your own country, and at the same time, you will divide a group of people, of course, these people are under your leadership, and I will summon more alchemists to come in, one of you will be responsible for the development of steel battleship plates, and the other group will be responsible for the development of flying battleship plates, two prongeds, I don't know if this is feasible. Oh, as a magician, I know that everyone values the results of these magicians' research, and many of them are passed down from generation to generation, and I am no different from other magicians in this regard, but as a soldier, I hope that these warships will not be just one or two, but thousands of them sailing in the sky and ocean of the Empire. Kong Ming looked at Pang Shushi and said slowly, he said it while thinking, in case something was wrong and difficult to change, you must know that once you say something, it will not be able to take it back.

For Pang Shushi, Kong Ming's statement is quite tempting, you must know that it takes more strength to promote a technology, he can't do this as an alchemist, but the empire can, but it also involves the problem of a magician's traditional point of view, that is, the research of ordinary magicians will only be passed on to the people closest to them, and others have no right to seize these things, of course, those learned in school are collected by the empire, which is an exception, and now Kong Ming let him break this monopoly, which made him unable to figure it out for a while。 But Kong Ming has already spoken first, and he may commit some magician taboos, which makes him really have no way to deal with Kong Ming, if it weren't for this sentence, he would have blasted Kong Ming out a long time ago.

Kong Ming didn't speak, letting Pang Shushi quietly think about the pros and cons of this. But obviously it's really hard to accept.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this kind of thing, because if these technologies are sold, I don't think anyone will be so serious about these technologies in the future. Pang Shushi said, this is also the worry of all magicians, because it is too easy, so that those magicians who work hard to study do not get the respect they deserve, who will seriously study these things?

"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's me who says I'm sorry, because after all, it's against the tradition of magicians. Kong Ming said helplessly, this is a fact, a tradition not only has its certain constraints, but also the protection of those things.

"It's just a pity that the soldiers of our empire, including magicians and swordsmen, will have to cross the ocean and fight with their lives in order to obtain new technology, but they will not be supported by the new technology of their own country, which is the reason why I am really worried. Kong Ming said. But he didn't dwell on this issue, some things require patience, and traditions can't be broken in a sentence or two. He only needed to plant a seed to break the tradition in Pang Shushi's heart now.

"Thank you for your understanding. Pang Shushi was in a better mood when he saw that Kong Ming did not rob this kind of alchemy, as Kong Ming said, he was also a magician, and he knew the tradition very well.

"Well, this sentence should be what I said, so now in addition to the problem of buying and selling technology, the huge master can charge more apprentices to inlay those steel plates that can be inlaid with magic arrays, and make them according to the corresponding needs, well, for the sake of technical confidentiality, I think you can change the process of work, each apprentice only needs to be responsible for one part of the work, and the general work is made by those students you trust, so that the technology can be guaranteed to the greatest extent without outflow. Kong Ming was not disappointed by his words, but gave him an idea.

"Well, Headmaster, that's a pretty good idea. Pang Shushi said happily, after researching this kind of thing, he was worried about how to make a large number of these steel plates that could carve the magic array without revealing the secret. Now Kong Ming has given him a real answer, separate manufacturing, so that everyone only needs to be responsible for one of them, and they only know part of the technology, so that they don't have to worry about other alchemists getting his technology and surpassing him.

Kong Ming also smiled, it is almost impossible to keep this technology, because other magicians and those students of Pang Shushi have participated in the research of this activity, and under those pervasive spying, they will soon fall, because this is not a complicated technology in the first place, and the reason why it failed before is that the inherent patterns in people's minds have imprisoned a certain piece of thinking, and the book published by Kong Ming has opened a window in their hearts and made their thinking more open, which is also an important reason why this technology was invented, these magicians are just repeating what others have done。 But what left Kong Ming speechless was that he did not convince this master to share this technique among magicians across the country.

The two began to exchange their common interests in the manufacture of these steel plates and the manufacture of steel warships, and as a result, both of them gained a lot. What the two didn't expect was that when this technology was really put into production, many things began to be produced, and when Kongming's construction was implemented, people could produce things faster, which was the assembly line.

Leaving Pang Shushi's research room, Kong Ming once again quietly wandered around the university, thinking about the many things he was going to face and was facing, and he needed a real plan to accomplish some things. What everyone didn't expect was that in less than three months, similar things happened in every corner of Marina City, and a lot of new alchemy products appeared out of thin air, which also made Marina City's magic technology much ahead of the entire continent, due to the appearance of these things, not long after, Pang Shushi took this technology of theirs and sold it to the Marina City Lord's Mansion, because they developed a more convenient and simple way to complete this work. A book changes a world. (To be continued......)
