"It's getting late, so that's the end of today's selection. At the sect disciple selection venue, Yi Zhengfeng, the elder of the Wuji Sword Sect, came on the stage and announced. The four elders drew lots to take turns to preside over the selection meeting, and Yi Zhengfeng drew the first day.

The conference is expected to last for three days, the second day will be presided over by Ye Kongming, the elder of the Lihuo Sect, and the third day will be presided over by Xue Beishan, the elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

In fact, Ai Jingchan was able to have a bye not only because she was lucky, but more importantly, because she was the only woman among the four elders, and more importantly, because she was still a big beauty. So, she had a bye.

"Old Xue, wake up, don't sleep, it's time to go. Ye Kongming woke up Xue Beishan, who was sitting next to him.

"I didn't sleep, who slept, I was just closing my eyes and calming my nerves. Xue Beishan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then denied it in a vague tone. Oh my God! Ai Da Mei is still sitting next to me, how can I fall asleep? It's all because these candidates don't even have a good seedling at the end of the day, and I can see that I am asleep.

There are 500 people who came to participate in the election today, but only three of them can be looked at by the sect. The chance of ordinary people having spiritual roots is almost one percent, but the vast majority of them have spiritual roots that are not in the stream, and their cultivation value is extremely low. Only the spiritual root that can enter the level can be favored by the sect.

The level of the spiritual root is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, and each level is subdivided into upper, middle, and lower grades, with a total of twelve levels. The minimum threshold of the sect is the Yellow Rank Spiritual Root.

After the withdrawal of the people of the sect, it is time for free activities, and the long-term seclusion life has made them yearn for the mundane world a little, and in order to satisfy the curiosity of these big financiers, the three-day night market in the county town will also be extremely lively.

An hour before Chen Kuo, a true disciple of the Fire Sect, was attracted by a strange sound, this rhythmic sound was similar to a mechanism like a waterwheel, but there was no river in the county. The sound was so small when it reached the inner city that only a mechanical fan like him would notice. Now that the sect's mission is over, he is trying to find out.

Following the sound, he walked all the way to Kangle Street in the northern district of the outer city, and when he stopped, he found that there was a beautiful young man squatting on the ground at the door and counting ants.

"Boy, may I ask what is ringing in here, and can I go in and have a look?" he asked.

"Are you?" This beautiful boy who counts ants is Luo Heng. Finally waiting for you.

"I am a disciple of the Lihuo Sect, my name is Chen Kuo. "Honest on the outside and honest on the inside, this is his first impression of Luo Heng.

"My name is Luo Heng, and it's my workshop, you want to see that I can lead you in. "Yes, there aren't many people like you.

"Really? Thank you so much. Not only are you good-looking, but you also have a good heart. Chen Kuo said sincerely.

"Friend, I have to say that you have a better eye. Luo Heng said more sincerely. Then, the two entered the workshop together.

"This is! It turns out that the power of water and fire can still be used like this!" Chen Kuo was amazed when he walked into the workshop and saw the steam-powered machine tool. As the true lineage of the sect, he has the cultivation of the four heavens of the Yuan Spirit Realm, and the internal structure and operating principle of the entire machine are already clear as soon as the spiritual sense sweeps it.

"Young man, this machine was designed by our son himself, isn't it?" the workshop masters boasted to Chen Kuo, an outsider. Although they don't know when the lathe was brought in, they are not surprised, after all, their son-in-law has millions of family assets, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, which is not surprising.

"You designed this?" Chen Kuo exclaimed. This little boy looks ten years younger than himself, and he is only a blacksmith apprentice at this age, which is amazing!

"Yes!" Luo Heng said calmly.

"Can you let me try?" Chen Kuo pleaded.

"Of course, if you think something is not suitable, we can discuss and make changes. Luo Heng agreed.

"Really?" said Chen Kuo in surprise.

"Fake. Childe can't let an outsider touch our treasure casually, in case it breaks again. The people in the workshop immediately spoke out against it.

"No, I'm also a blacksmith, and I'm proficient in mechanics. Chen Kuo hurriedly spoke to explain.

"Don't worry, he's a disciple of the Fire Sect. Luo Heng said.

"What! you're from the Immortal Sect!" everyone in the workshop was shocked. It's really unseemly.

"Hmm. I am a true disciple of the Lihuo Sect. ”

"Forgive me for being clumsy, please first. Everyone in the workshop retreated and asked Chen Kuo to try the machine first.

"Luo Heng, you can't do it. The power of water cannot be fully utilized. Chen Kuo said disgustedly.

"Then what should I do?" Luo Heng humbly asked. Of course I know that fire can't work, firewood how much firepower do you think it can have?

Chen Kuo walked to the combustion chamber and took out a fist-sized blazing red stone and threw it into it, and the flames inside skyrocketed from 700 degrees to 1200 degrees.

"What's that?" Luo Heng asked curiously.

"It's a blazing stone of the lowest grade, capable of releasing flames. Chen Kuo replied.

"How long can it last, is it expensive?" asked Luo Heng.

"I can burn it for about two hours. It's not expensive, it's a low-grade spirit bead. ”

One hundred purple baht for two hours! It's not expensive? You're really rich! Everyone in the workshop was speechless.

Lingzhu, also known as Lingbaht, is the main currency in circulation in the monk world. The spirit stones directly mined from the spirit ore cannot be directly circulated as currency due to many drawbacks such as irregular shape, uneven size, and unbalanced spiritual power. The spirit bead is a jade bead with a diameter of about half an inch that is artificially polished, and it is radiated with a solid spirit array, so that it has a fixed amount of spiritual power. Fixed, quantitative, and then it can be used as currency.

In addition, the spirit beads are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the three spirit beads are similar in appearance, but the difference is in the spiritual power content, and the difference between them is 100 times.

The monastic realm is not completely isolated from the mortal world, but is widely implicated. Therefore, the spirit baht, purple baht, and green baht are also completely exchangeable. The exchange ratio is: green baht: purple baht: lower grade spirit beads: middle grade spirit beads: upper grade spirit beads = 1:100:100:10,000:1 million:100 million.

A small piece of inferior incandescent stone is worth one hundred purple baht, which is not expensive in Luo Heng's opinion, and its value mainly lies in its small size, sufficient heat, and long storage time. Of course, it would be a waste to just use it on this steam engine.

Since the discovery of electricity, the energy of the solar system has slowly begun to be dominated by electricity, and on the eve of the two-star war, super-density battery technology has been very mature, from large Star Destroyers to small lighters basically use electricity, and the ultimate purpose of other forms of energy is to convert them into electricity.

Now, a kind of incandescent stone similar to a battery appeared in front of Luo Heng's eyes, and he was eager to master this thermal storage technology.

"Luo Heng, you can't do this water. The swelling is too small. Before Luo Heng could speak, Chen Kuo spoke again. Then he took out a large vat of glowing water from his storage bag and poured it into the tank. As soon as the fresh water is injected, the air pressure in the boiler suddenly triples, jumping directly from low pressure to medium high pressure.

"Bang——。 "The boiler blew up. "Luo Heng, you can't do this iron. Chen Kuo, whose face was blackened, turned to Luo Heng and said.

Now Luo Heng has come to his senses: he was deceived by this person's honest appearance, why is he so annoying?

Without waiting for everyone to get angry, he took out a half-foot high refining furnace and a large pile of metal ore from his storage bag. He's going to refine the weapon on the spot.

Seeing him like this, everyone could not care about criticizing him, and they all stood sideways to observe.

Under the attention of everyone, Chen Kuo first took out three pieces of incandescent stones of better quality and put them into the furnace. Then he spread his palms, and a bright blue flame appeared in his palm out of thin air. After he threw the flames into the furnace, white and blue flames erupted at a temperature of at least 1,800 degrees, and the refining furnace did not have any redness.

The spiritual power is released, and the matter is controlled in the air, and Chen Kuo throws one ore after another into the furnace for smelting.

The entire refining process made Luo Heng and the others sleepy. As soon as the stove was covered, not even a little open flame could leak out, and Chen Kuo, who was like a great enemy, stared at the motionless refining furnace all night, as if he wanted to stare through the furnace wall, and as if he was a fool in a daze.

The rooster crowed and the sun rose, Chen Kuo shouted, and everyone woke up.

"Alright?" "Alright. "Look, it's out. ”...。 While everyone was still confused, a two-foot-square large iron tuo was lifted out of the air by Chen Kuo from the refining furnace.

There is a sound when the big iron tuo lands, and the weight of listening to the sound is at least more than a ton. When it cooled completely, a closer look revealed that it was actually a steam engine. Its shape is like a whole body pouring, and it is natural.

Then Chen Kuo took out a blazing stone and a cold ice crystal, which was placed into the combustion chamber the size of two fists, and the ice crystal was fixed in the center of the metal spiral tube at the other end. Luo Heng was sure it was a condensing device.

The water pressure in the boiler with a capacity of less than 10 liters increases rapidly, and the steam is re-condensed into water by the condensing device and sent back to the boiler under pressure for recycling. The whole process is cyclical and there are almost no emissions.

The steam engine is hot at one end and cold at the other. With a loud jet sound, its boiler reaches its pressure limit, and the safety pressure plug automatically decompresses.

"The materials used are not very good, and the strength can barely reach ten times that of the previous one, so I will pay you for it. The work is finished, Chen Kuo said stupidly.

"What's so embarrassing?" Ten times the power, that's 1,500 horsepower, a bunch of rags for a chariot-level engine. Luo Heng now realizes that real people are the most lovely.

"It's okay, I'll build a better one when I get back. Chen Kuo said straightly.

How else can this be talked about?
