Chapter 20: That Sky, That Cloud
Kong Ming tried, this is a sword with spatial attributes, although it seems ordinary, but Kong Ming feels that it is stronger than most of the so-called divine swords, as a military personnel, Kong Ming knows very well that a single item cannot change the trend of a war, only popularization will lead to the victory of the war, maybe some special items can win a battle for a while, but they will always be confronted by new things, but once a thing becomes mass-produced, then it proves that a culture is strong and advanced, because this kind of mass-produced things sometimes do not need much god-level material to manufactureThe fact that they can be mass-produced shows that there are many substances that make these things. Kong Ming dripped a drop of blood onto the sword, and the blood seeped into the sword itself, and a slight connection was created between the two, but nothing else happened. Kong Ming frowned, thought about it, and then relaxed, if a sword only recognizes one owner, then how can they be mass-produced? Kong Ming tried the shield again, like the sword, this is also a shield with a space attribute, there is a small space refraction magic array in front of the shield, it can reflect part of the energy that attacks on the shield, specifically Kong Ming did not conduct an experiment, so it is not clear what the limit is, but Kong Ming estimates that no less than ten percent of the energy will be reflected, which is a terrible number. Finally Kong Ming picked up the book. I don't know what this fiery red book was made of, but it wasn't ruined in the heat. Turning to the book, Kong Ming was stunned because he saw another world, another starry sky. This is just an introduction to geography. But no one understands the importance of geography better than a mercenary, for it is a matter of life and death, and no one understands the importance of a new world as a soldier who will conquer new places.
The book introduces the starry sky, each of the new continents they have discovered and conquered, and the world of human beings. There is a world of elves, a world of machines, a world of dragons, and a lot of unknown races and worlds, the book also introduces various races and their abilities, through guò introduction, Kong Ming knows that the planet where Kong Ming is located is called Huatian Star, which is a planet with abundant energy, but also a terrifying planet, because there is not only a different magic civilization here. There are also many mysterious things that people don't understand, and it is even speculated that there should be an extremely powerful storage zài here, and it is also because of his existence zài that the people here are not invaded by the outside world. It is mentioned in the book that they once wanted to conquer the planet. But all failed, because of something that the upper echelons could not reveal. Let them stop the idea of invading this star. Although the introduction of Hua Tianxing in the book is only a small chapter. It's only about 50,000 words, but it makes Kong Ming know the vastness beyond the Huatian Continent, maybe one day he will leave here and pursue the distant starry sky, which will be a place for mercenaries to survive and a paradise for adventurers. Instead of here, you fight for a few flowers and plants, you fight for a few fruits, and you are jealous for a few women. A true man should be a strong man who explores the distant and unknown starry sky. Kong Ming's cold heart ignited this book at once, if before he was still fighting for a purpose that he didn't know why, then now he has a new goal, stepping on the starry sky and walking out of Huatian!
From the book, he learns that behind the East China Sea of Tongguò, and then through more distant places, there are many fascinating things stored there, and there are secrets beyond the god level. Or rather, there, Kong Ming can get some of the things he needs to step on the battleship of the starry sky. There is something in Kong Ming's heart called ambition, which has been completely released.
From the book, Kong Ming really knows that the real cultivation methods of different races are not the same, some take the physical cultivation all the way, some take the magic all the way, some take the fighting spirit all the way, some take the life all the way, some take the faith all the way, some take the curse all the way, in short, the cultivation methods are varied, strange, but all the laws are one, and they all boil down to the comprehension and application of laws and rules. And their classification is also different from that of Huatian Continent. The nine levels on the Huatian Continent are not a complete hierarchical division, because the latter two levels of the Huatian Great Road are too vaguely divided, they have a unified division, based on the comprehension of the rules or the law and the recognition of heaven and earth as the standard, only divided into four levels, the cultivators who do not comprehend the laws or rules are called disciples, the comprehension begins to one percent for the holy, the comprehension of one to ten percent is the god, the comprehension of ten percent to nearly one hundred percent is respected, and the person who comprehends one hundred percent does not exist, because such people are said to be incarnated as a part of the law or the rules。 This kind of rule is based on the recognition of heaven and earth, because the promotion in each ladder will make heaven and earth reborn in a real sense, and the life span of the cultivator will also increase, and the ability will also increase, but no matter what, for each cultivator, and each ladder will be divided into nine levels, the nine levels of disciples are from level one to level nine, and the nine levels of saints are also divided into level one to nine levels, and the gods are also from level one to level nine, and the gods are also from level one to level nine, and the gods are also from level one to level nine. These things are only related to people's comprehension of laws and rules, and have nothing to do with the things and methods of cultivation. It doesn't matter if life or some other energy, because those things are just a way for people everywhere to create a more suitable way for people to practice according to the local characteristics, good exercises can accelerate the comprehension of laws and rules, and poor exercises are just a little slower comprehension, as for those anti-fire and anti-freeze exercises, etc., they are just the confrontation between some laws and rules of natural phenomena that come with the practice of fire-resisting and anti-freeze. For example, when a person practices fire-based exercises, just like Kongming, when he practices, his understanding of the law of fire has infiltrated every part of his body, and these things also need the support of the fire element, so under the effect of the fire element, Kongming can naturally resist and absorb some phenomena of the fire-based law. It's like he fell into lava, because he himself practiced a fire-based advanced technique, but he didn't have the opportunity to pour the fire element into his body in normal times, so his fighting spirit couldn't come up all the time. If it weren't for the ubiquity of space elements, then he might not be able to become a sword master by now, and at this time, he and Sha Yu fell into the lava together, and when he was unconscious, the fire dragon fighting qi naturally operated, which accelerated the absorption of the fire fighting qi, and also greatly increased his resistance ability. And those so-called magic and fighting spirit, but according to different people's practice direction, some people pay attention to the spirit of cultivation, and some people pay attention to the body. Some people break the Fa with their strength, and some people ascend to heaven with the Fa, these are just a kind of appearance, and what is really suitable is what is important.
Kong Ming carefully compared. It was discovered that with the division of the Huatian Continent, all the saints were disciples. And here it is two levels less than the division in the book. That is, the eighth and ninth levels, and the saints and gods of Huatian are just the low and high levels of the saints mentioned in the book, otherwise, it is impossible for Kong Ming to slaughter the demon shark in one place so simply, you must know that the real god can create a world that truly belongs to himself, and the demon shark is just a realm that controls a piece of water. The two are very different and cannot be compared. A true god can move a piece of water or create a world of water in a place like a crater, while the demon shark is crushed by the environment here. That's the difference.
This book opens up one piece of the sky for Kong Ming and sees another cloud. If when Kong Ming was appointed commander of the Eastern Naval District, he only thought about expanding the nearby seas for the empire, then now, he began to plan to create a territory that truly belongs to him, he wants to use it as a base to conquer those unknown things, he wants to really build a strong army, to see the distant places and the more brilliant starry sky.
After calming down his excitement, Kong Ming carefully thought about some specific things for the next step, what preparations he needed to make, and it was most appropriate to take several steps. Kong Ming sat straight next to the hot spring, thought about it for three days, and finally he stood up and began to look for a way back, whether there was a transcendent being here or not, it would not matter to him, because from the book he saw a true transcendence, and he believed that as long as he followed this direction and worked hard, sooner or later he would become a true god or higher. Kong Ming may not realize one thing, that is, although he does not really understand the meaning of becoming a god, he is moving towards the path of the god, because that is the path of the god of war, that is, the god of war. Compared with the real comprehension of the fire system and the space system, war has too much ethereal, because it is a kind of false path, which cannot be said, there is no cultivation method, and there will be no specific guidance, only when you reach that step, you will suddenly realize that you have already become a god. Because it requires Kongming to keep fighting some wars, to think about the essence of war and the appearance of war from each war. The virtual rules of war are very difficult for anyone to comprehend, because it does not have a practice, it is to accumulate in one war after another, that is to say, if Kong Ming wants to become the god of war, he must continue to fight, whether it is a personal war, or a war of millions of people, this is the inevitable process that the god of war will go through, and in this process, his personal combat effectiveness will only continue to grow stronger with the strength of the fire system and the space system, not because of war, war will only bring him a stronger spirit, stronger computing ability, and more perfect ability to grasp the overall situation。 Therefore, only the god of war is the path that Kong Ming is really taking, and this is the real reward of heaven and earth for every adventurous person like Kong Ming. And because the real cause of such a special god as the god of war is too difficult, it is precious, because their strength does not lie in their individual force, but in their ability to double the combat power of an entire body. Every god of war must be a real iron-blooded person, and he will succeed in ten thousand bones.
Kong Ming tried to go down the current, because common sense knew that the water flowed downwards and then kept converging into a larger current, where there must be an outlet. Kong Ming walked down along the water flow with one foot high and one foot low, more than two hours later, Kong Ming appeared at the foot of the volcano, it was daytime, the dazzling sunlight made Kong Ming a little uncomfortable for a while, looking back, Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this experience really made it unforgettable for a lifetime, not for the death of a god or a high-level sage, just for the book that gave him a lifelong dream, knowledge is power, this is the eternal truth. Sora knew it was time for him to leave here. Huatian Continent was no longer their target, his target should be in that distant starry sky.
"Day, finally leave this hellish place!" Kong Ming sighed and said, it is not comfortable for anyone to stay in such a place full of peculiar smells, let alone stay for several days? As if in response to Kong Ming's greeting, all of a sudden, a large amount of smoke erupted from the crater, and a large amount of mountain rocks erupted from the crater, and magma spewed out like flowing water.
"Damn. Seeing this scene, Kong Ming hurriedly ran in the direction of the sea. Although he is not afraid of the high temperature of these lavas by relying on his understanding of the laws of the fire system, it is not good to let these things hit in vain.
As a saint, when he was running with all his might, his speed was quite fast, and after a while, compared to the unknown and cautious when he came. Now Kong Ming is more fast alone, but it takes more than ten minutes. Kong Ming came to the edge of the sea. But he didn't see a person waiting for him, could it be that the days have been a long time? Kong Ming was a little uncertain, after all, people who fainted don't understand the passage of time, as the words say, a dream for a hundred years. Looking at the vast sea, Kong Ming couldn't help but feel proud. This must make some achievements, so as to be worthy of the wandering of this life. Thinking of this, Kong Ming couldn't help but let out a long roar, and the sound was enough to shake the sky. It's a stark contrast to the eruption.
Suddenly, a troll bird flew over from another side, and there was a person on it, Kong Ming saw it, and the person above was also a sage, and it seemed to be one of the nineteen people, after all, Kong Ming had not been in contact with them for a long time, but it was only half a day, and there was only one big image.
The troll bird stopped in front of Kong Ming, and the person who came jumped down from it, saluted Kong Ming and said, "Commander, I'm Jiang Haohan, and I specially waited here for the commander to go back together." ”
"Oh, you know I'm still alive?" Kong Ming said strangely, anyone who fell into the lava could only die, he was only because he had practiced a fighting spirit before, and he had enough understanding of the fire attribute to escape this difficulty, I didn't expect them to know that they were still alive, and they originally planned to see if they could make a boat to go back, but now they don't need it.
"After the commander fell into the lava, we returned to the imperial capital, and the god said, the commander is still alive, let me wait here. Jiang Xihan said.
"Oh, then, let's go back! How long has it been since that day?"
"It's been ten days. ”
"It's been ten days!"
Kong Ming sighed, there were no superfluous words, now was not the time to talk more, and he himself was not good at communicating, so he sat down on the troll bird, sat cross-legged, and thought about some things to do in the future.
The Coastal City Lord's Mansion, Kong Ming didn't attract people's attention after landing, because they left quietly when they left, and naturally no one cared when they came back. Kong Ming stayed in the study of the City Lord's Mansion for three whole days, these three days, people constantly sent some books to the study from the outside, and Kong Ming was also constantly planning something, day and night, for a saint, sleep is no longer an essential work, if they are sleepy, they can use meditation instead, only in this way will they rest and practice at the same time, so there are many practitioners whose own room is just a meditation mat. And these three days of sleepless are nothing to Kong Ming, but it is the beginning of a miracle for the entire Marina City. It was the beginning of a great cause.
In the conference room, Kong Ming looked at the big and small leaders in the City Lord's Mansion below with red eyes, these people are the managers of Coastal City, Kong Ming has not seen them before, except for the housekeeper of Kong Yuan's City Lord's Mansion and Sima Wei, a friend of Kong Ming, who is now the city lord of Coastal City. Under normal circumstances, as an earl, anyone can manage his own territory for him, and Sima Wei now occupies this role.
"Well, I'm not here to hear what you say, it's you who come to listen to what I say. Kong Ming's opening words were very domineering, originally as a soldier, he didn't like anything to beat around the bush. Hearing this, those people all fell silent, because this was the first meeting of Kong Ming, and everyone had to give the master of this coastal city a satisfactory answer.
"What you have in front of you is a book of plans for the future of Marina City and a book of basic knowledge of the world. You can go back and take a good look at these two things, I hope you will take a serious look at them, not throw them in the garbage, because this is related to the future of our coastal city, the things I listed above must be done by corresponding people, I don't want anyone to shirk, if someone shirks, then all the people involved will give me my resignation, get out, and leave. There is a leader for everything that has been done above, and this leader is fully responsible, and perhaps what I have listed is not your current position, and believe me, this will be your position. ”
Kong Ming said as he organized his words. His eloquence is not very good, he can only ensure his correctness in this kind of slower words, which is the essence of a soldier, talk less and work more.
"Here, there are a few things that I particularly emphasize again, which must be started today, and all the funds, you can get them from the city lord. The first thing is to immediately set up a Coastal University, which will set up several special academies, one is the Navigation Academy, which is responsible for training the sailing cadets, the future warship commanders and all the technicians, including all the shipbuilding engineers, which will be done soon, and in the future we will use this as a basis to train the personnel of the sky warship. Don't look at me like this, all the questions are written in the basic knowledge of the world in front of you, you must know that this is a book that surpasses the hope of the gods. ”
Kongming's words made all the people boil, you must know that among the people they are in contact with now, even the saints are very few, and the gods have not been in contact with them, but this does not prevent them from understanding this.
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can read the book by yourself after the meeting. The second college in the university is the Academy of Magic Alchemy, which admits all magicians and magic apprentices, I don't care what level he is, and it doesn't matter where he comes from, they come for two purposes, one is to learn magic, and the other is to become a magic alchemist, they will research and manufacture the things we need, the ironclad warships I need, the flying warships, all the weapons and equipment will be researched by them. There is a swordsman academy in the university, which will train our fighters, and their abilities will directly affect how much territory we can win in the future, so these people must become saints before they can graduate, otherwise they will continue to train in the academy, of course, in order not to let those fools, as a school, we must formulate corresponding regulations, I need to see that in the places where my warship can reach, there are people who graduated from our Coastal University, driving our own research ships, and getting the honor that belongs to our empire。 ”
Kong Ming didn't realize that the last sentence of his sentence had become the motto of Binhai University and the words of encouragement to students, that is, "Wherever my warship can reach, there are people who have graduated from Binhai University, driving our own research warship, and getting the honor that belongs to our empire." ”。
"The second thing is that from now on, the people of our coastal city, from the age of seven, must be enrolled in school, all tuition fees are paid by the city lord's mansion, and a certain amount of funds are also provided for students from poor families, and all those who do not carry out this order, the parents of civilians will be dealt with as illegal, and the sentence will be enforced by the court. ”
"The third thing, immediately start training for the recruited soldiers and saints, form a legion, and train as we come, we can't wait for everything to be in place before training, we should do our best to form combat effectiveness, and for the officers from the various legions of the empire to send letters to them to come to Marina City as quickly as possible, we need a strong navy. Brothers, the war began at this moment. (To be continued......)
