Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the southwest of Ningjing County, since the steel mill was built here, a large number of workers were recruited to help with mining, transportation and other tasks.

Most of the refined products were used to make the first railway and the first train, so a large number of workers were recruited.

The Zhou Dynasty lacked an industrial foundation, so the creation of these things relied entirely on manpower, which was labor-intensive and labor-intensive.

Nowadays, the area surrounding the steelmaking plant is filled with houses, inhabited by 10,000 to 20,000 people recruited from various places.

The population size is already close to that of a small county town. If this continues, it is likely to develop into an industrial area in the future.

After so many days and nights of hard work, the first railway of the Zhou Dynasty was successfully built. The distance was not long, more than 20 miles from the steel mill to Ningjing County.

The Zhou Dynasty did not have construction machinery such as excavators and road rollers. In order to build this first road, a large number of immortal cultivators and tens of thousands of mortals were used.

Even Young Master Zhang once cast a spell himself to drill a tunnel out of a hill.

The construction of this railway largely relied on the power of the cultivators. Otherwise, with the industrial level of the Zhou Dynasty, even the railway tracks might not be possible.

In fact, even if a cultivator uses mana and weapon refining methods, the efficiency is still too poor compared to a railway of more than 20 miles.

When the first railway was built, the first train had also been successfully manufactured.

Similarly, this train also gathered the efforts of a large number of immortal cultivators to successfully create it.

Without any industrial foundation, ordinary blacksmiths cannot even make a screw. It is conceivable that most components can only be made by hand by cultivators.

If you want to continue manufacturing trains and railways in the future, you must light up a large number of basic industries. Otherwise, it is not cost-effective to waste people and money like this.

"Sir, please get in the car!"

Hu Ya led a group of technicians, opened the front door of the car, and invited Zhang He to get in the car for a test drive.

The current train is almost as tall as the train Zhang He rode in his previous life, with only 5 carriages in total.

If necessary in the future, more carriages can be made and hung at the back.

Zhang He strolled onto the front of the car, and placed a large crystal several feet wide in front of the car to replace the glass.

The cost of just this piece of crystal is not cheap.

In the compartment at the front of the car, a large number of magic circles and some complex control levers are carved.

After Zhang He sat down on a chair, Hu Ya walked up to him and pushed a joystick forward. Many formation runes in the vehicle lit up instantly.

"Sir, this train does not need spirit stones to drive it. The No. 2 Spirit Gathering Array is engraved on most parts of the train body.

It is absorbing the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth all the time, accumulating it and storing it in the white jade pillar. "

Hu Ya said, pointing to the many unique patterns on the car body.

The last time they researched, they could inject the absorbed spiritual energy into the spirit gathering array in the jade pillar, and named it the No. 2 spirit gathering array.

Zhang He glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness, and found that the car body was covered with such patterns, connected to each other, and a large number of jade pillars were placed at the bottom of the car to store spiritual energy.

At this time, Hu Ya pushed another joystick, and the spiritual energy stored in the jade pillar immediately connected to another formation along a rune route.

The formation was activated instantly, glowing white, and then I felt the train begin to move forward slowly.

The speed of the train is not very fast, almost equivalent to a speed of twenty or thirty miles per hour.

But it is quiet and smooth during the journey, without much noise.

"The power of the train's forward movement comes from a wind formation, one of which is placed on each carriage."

In other words, the train is driven forward entirely by the wind formation. The wheels cannot provide any power and only serve to bear weight and reduce friction.

The first trip of the train took about half an hour from the steel plant to outside Ningjing County.

A simple station was built at the end here, and it was already crowded with onlookers.

After all, this is a new thing, a large iron car that does not require spiritual stones to drive, and its total volume is much larger than a flying battleship.

From a distance, it looks like a big black dragon roaring across the wilderness, which is really scary to a person.

"Sir, how do you feel?"

"Well, it's okay, but we need to start from the basics next to make more railways and trains."

Zhang He had previously proposed that Fat Hu build machine tools and a steel foundry. These were all quantitatively based industries.

He hopes that one day, his industrialization can penetrate into the world of immortality, and his industrial assembly line can directly mass-produce magic weapons and even magic weapons.

If such a day comes, the world of immortality will also change.

Tall buildings are rising from the ground, but now we have to lay a solid foundation.

After Zhang He got off the train, he walked back to the city lord's mansion alone.

After years of education here, his crazy fans have begun to appear on the street, so now he has to pay attention to his image when going out and not be too casual.

Maybe this is the baggage of idols.

When he returned to the city lord's palace with solemn steps, he found Meng Tiantian waiting for him.

Meng Tiantian was rescued by Zhang He and returned to Heishui Town when he was a few years old. He had no parents since he was a child and grew up in a school.

Perhaps due to the environment in which she grew up, she has a low self-esteem and is introverted, and rarely talks. When she and Huya stand together, she is willing to be a backdrop.

But she is conscientious and meticulous in her work and strives for perfection.

"Meng Tiantian! Come in and have a cup of tea."

When dealing with introverts like Meng Tiantian, Zhang He would be a little more enthusiastic.

Invite Meng Tiantian to sit down in the living room, personally make a pot of restorative tea and pour it for Meng Tiantian.

Nourishing tea is an extremely precious tea in the world of immortality. Many times, even if you have spiritual stones, you can't buy it.

The soothing tea tree in the Zhanghe space has grown up. In addition to supplying it for myself, some can be left for entertaining guests.

Among Zhang He's many men, only a few were able to drink it, and everyone regarded it as an honor.

Meng Tiantian looked a little excited when she saw the restorative tea that Zhang He had brewed for her, but she was not very good at expressing herself and still said nothing.

It wasn't until he drank two-thirds of a cup of tea that Meng Tiantian said: "Sir, our alchemy team has recently made a new type of magic weapon, and I would like to invite you to take a look."

As Meng Tiantian said, he took out a small ball.

This thing is only about the size of a thumb, and it is dark and unattractive, and you can't even feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy on it.

Zhang He couldn't figure out what it was for a while. Even if it was thrown on the ground, no one would bend down to pick it up.

"Sir, it's like this. The people in the Shadow Pavilion agreed on the poisonous elixir we refined with Mandala flowers before, so I wanted to improve it.

In the past, when you took out the poisonous elixir, the other party might be alert before you even had time to use it.

Therefore, I tried to find a way to refine the poison of Mandala flower into the magic weapon, and mix it with some materials that can isolate the spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness, so that it looks like a mortal thing and is less likely to arouse the vigilance of opponents. "

Meng Tiantian carefully explained the function of the magic weapon in her hand. She would only talk more when talking about professional matters.

This magical weapon is actually a change of Poison Pill, making it more concealed and convenient.

Then the two of them left the reception room and walked to a deserted place. Zhang He took the black ball and used only a trace of magic power to throw it out.

The ball flew dozens of feet away, suddenly exploded, turned into a thin sheet of smoke, and then dissipated.

Zhang He compared it. This object was relatively light and concealed. It only needed a little mana to trigger the explosion. He immediately thought of a way to use it.

He once got some small beetle puppets from Aowu for covert tracking.

This kind of puppet is small and unobtrusive, and can slip through as long as there is a slight gap.

If you combine this poisonous elixir weapon with the little beetle puppet, it will definitely be a powerful weapon to use to slay people.

"I have a puppet refining method here that you can use for reference. I suggest you try combining the two together."

Zhang He said, taking out a blank jade slip and inputting a puppet refining method into it.

Meng Tiantian took the jade slip and looked inside, with a look of surprise on her face. When she saw this kind of small puppet, she could naturally think of what Zhang He thought.

If it were just a magic weapon, a monk would still need to sacrifice it. If he really wanted to trick someone, there would still be a high chance of being discovered.

But if the poison pill is directly refined into the puppet's body, the puppet can quietly approach the target, and then suddenly explode next to the enemy.

Meng Tiantian took the jade slip given by Zhang He and left.

It only took her half a month to successfully make the first finished product and send it to Zhang He for inspection. It achieved the results Zhang He expected.

Zhang He handed all the Mandala flowers stored in the space to Meng Tiantian and asked her to refine them in large quantities when she went back.

……………………

While Zhang He was engaged in new technology research here, on the other side, a conspiracy targeting Ningjing County was also in full swing.

Both the Black Viper Organization and the Fan Clan of Wu Kingdom are much stronger than Ningjing County, and it would be easy to destroy Ningjing County.

It's just that Ningjing County is the branch of the Sun-Moon Alliance, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. It is impossible for them to bypass this hurdle and go directly to Ningjing County.

If it triggers a counterattack from the Sun-Moon Alliance and leads to a full-scale war between the two major forces, the two forces will not be easy.

Due to the harsh conditions of the Sun and Moon Alliance in the past, those who have grown up in this difficult environment are particularly deadly in fights, and their combat effectiveness is therefore stronger than that of monks of the same level.

Therefore, the two forces plotting to calm Jing County could only adopt covert methods.

There is Anbai County between Ningjing County and Yangdu County in Zhanghe.

The sub-rudder of the Anbai County sub-rudder is a middle-stage Jindan monk with average strength.

On this day, a golden elixir monk came to ask for an audience, and they discussed with Captain An Bai in the secret room for a long time.

By the time the secret room door opened, this mysterious Jindan monk had already joined An Bai's team.

In the following period, many monks gradually joined An Bai's helm.

The newly joined people's cultivation ranged from foundation building to golden elixir. The total number soon exceeded hundreds, and this number was still growing.

For the monks in Anbai's helm, they just joined one or two people at the beginning, and they were glad that their helm strength had increased.

But as their numbers grew, they began to be surprised, shocked, anxious, and then numb.

Only Captain An Bai has been in seclusion during this period, and others have no way to find out about the situation from him.

An Bai's strength expanded rapidly like a balloon, which naturally attracted the attention of several surrounding forces.

Zhang He has four counties, two of which are adjacent to Anbai Branch. Anyone who is not blind will know such a close location.

"Master Qi, according to the investigation, most of the mysterious monks who suddenly increased in the Anbai branch are from the Fan family of Wu Kingdom."

In the secret room, Yingyi opened and closed and presented a jade slip.

"So, nine times out of ten, they are coming for us!"

Zhang He pondered for a moment. Fan coveted his purple-red obsidian mine, and it was only a matter of time before he took action against him. He didn't find it too strange now.

I just didn't expect that the other party would appear next to me in this way, and I didn't know what the other party was thinking.

"Is there any news from the Black Viper organization?"

"Currently, the Black Viper organization is still searching for traces of the Shadow Pavilion in various places, and there is no other movement."

When Zhang He heard this, thinking of the changes in An Bai's helm, he always felt that the Black Viper organization was just building a plank road openly and secretly crossing Chencang.

On the surface, he is still searching for the Shadow Pavilion everywhere in order to attract his attention and make himself paralyzed. Secretly, he may be brewing some big killer move.

"During this period, we will strengthen the security of Ningjing County and the obsidian mines, and bring back all the elite forces scattered in various places. There may be a war in the near future."

After Zhang He gave a few instructions to Ying Yi, he gave the same instructions to Fat Tiger He Xiaoyu, and then he left Ningjing County and headed for Mingcheng.

The general helm of the Sun-Moon Alliance is located in Mingcheng, which has a medium-sized spiritual vein, sufficient spiritual energy, and a large population.

Since occupying this territory, the three elders of the Sun-Moon Alliance no longer have to work part-time jobs outside. They stay in Mingcheng every day, sitting on the medium-sized spiritual veins, enjoying the rich spiritual energy.

They have lived for thousands of years, and only now have they realized the dignity that a strong Nascent Soul person should have.

Zhang He rushed to Mingcheng all the way. He must first find his little lover. Only through Mei Yingxue could he find Mei Yun.

He is not the kind of person who clings to a woman's lap when something happens and likes to eat soft food.

It’s just that my stomach is not good during this period, and it’s hard to digest hard food.

Both the Wu Kingdom and the Black Viper Organization have Nascent Soul powerhouses. My little arms and legs may not be able to withstand a few beatings.

"Yingxue! I'm here to see you!"

Knocking on Mei Yingxue's door, Zhang He vividly expressed his longing for her after not seeing her for a long time on his face of only 350 square centimeters.

"Look, I brought you a gift! I refined it myself for you."

As Zhang He spoke, he took out a beautiful and exquisite phoenix-shaped hairpin from his storage bag.

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

Mei Yingxue has lived to be over seventy or eighty years old, and she is not a silly little girl. She is not that easy to fool. She can see through Zhang He's lies at a glance.

But she still took the phoenix-shaped hairpin with one hand.
