"You must be dozing off in class and being scolded by the teacher! It just so happened that I am today."
"Go and go. Do you think I'm the same as you! Even if I sleep secretly, the teacher can't catch me."
Jiang Yun said with a laugh.
What he didn't notice was that while Wang Dong was laughing, a faint feeling of worry flashed in his eyes.
"You know what to say? After a while, we may have the opportunity to go to Mingde Hall to listen to the lecture. Have you ever been to Mingde Hall? What is it like? Forget it if it is inconvenient to say."
Wang Dong asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you this. Mingde Hall is actually underground and is a huge research institute; its status is to some extent similar to that of the Sea God Pavilion in your academy. However, the Sea God Pavilion offers the Sea God, while the Mingde Hall offers the Confucian saints."
"It's actually very difficult to understand what you go to Mingde Hall to listen to, because to be honest, I don't understand it very much. Mingde Hall talks about the most cutting-edge things today, such as human-shaped soul guides, solar light panels, and very mysterious, all of which exist in the imagination."
Jiang Yun sighed lightly and said.
"Jiang Yun, in your opinion, what is the most important soul guide technology now?"
Wang Dong blinked and asked.
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and replied: "It's energy, or energy supply system. The current sealed bottle technology is still too immature, and it is actually a lot of limitations. Moreover, relying on bottles alone is not enough. Some things may actually be able to operate in the future by relying on pure electric energy or other energy sources, and there is no need for soul guide arrays at all."
"Although today's high-level soul guides can go to heaven and earth, burn mountains and seas, these things can only be operated by a very small number of people, and their help to the general public is limited. From this perspective, our current soul guide technology still has a long way to go."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "Your answer is completely different from our Shrek Academy teachers and Yu Hao's understanding. Yu Hao told me that he felt that the most important and most critical soul guide technology now is to combine the soul guide and their Tangmen hidden weapons to create more lethal weapons. If you can use the soul guide to show the legendary Buddha Angry Tang Lotus and even Guanyin's tears, then the soul guide technology originally belonged to Douluo Continent will truly surpass the Sun and Moon Continent. He even has confidence that one person can defeat all the troops of the Sun and Moon Empire."
"Is this what you are talking about in the extreme individual soldiers?"
Jiang Yun couldn't help laughing and said. Seeing Jiang Yun's expression, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel like he wanted to laugh.
"Well. That's it. After all, in legend, the Tang Sect hidden weapons can even kill gods, and the mortal army is even more difficult."
Wang Dong nodded and said.
"Then they can try it. When the time comes, I will see if their Buddha Angry Tang Lian is making trouble, and they will be able to get over the Nine-level fixed-mounted soul guide shells."
Jiang Yun smiled and said.
———————————————————
A few days later, Wang Dong suddenly came to Jiang Yun with an excited look and said, "Jiang Yun, let me tell you good news."
“What good news?”
"I reach level 40 and I'm about to break through the fourth ring."
"Oh, congratulations."
Jiang Yun touched his nose and replied. At the age of fourteen, the cultivation speed is very fast even in Shrek Academy. However, Wang Dong is now the lowest level of soul power among the four-person group. Wang Dong himself was also a little worried about this matter.
"Hey, are you just congratulating me like that? Forget it, the good news I want to say is still there! My tutor gave me a chance to test a new experimental soul guide while hunting the fourth soul ring. It seems to be called "all-terrain self-propelled soul guide". I applied for a quota with the teacher. Are you interested?"
Wang Dong asked with his hands on his back, looking expectant.
"Well, let me think about it."
Jiang Yun held one hand on his chin and pretended to be contemplative. Wang Dong's little face suddenly bulged.
"Hey, this is a rare opportunity! The all-terrain self-sporting soul guide is very powerful when you hear it! The place we are going is the Jingyang Mountains thousands of miles away, which is equivalent to giving you several days off!"
"Okay, then I'll go there with you. I haven't been to the Jingyang Mountains before."
Jiang Yun no longer teased Wang Dong, smiled and agreed.
"Hmph, I finally got a tutor to apply for a quota, but it seems that you are suffering a loss."
Wang Dong rolled his eyes and said.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Dong’s mentor this time was actually the leader of Jiang Yun and the others when they went to the Star Luo City Competition, Raymond Lam. This is not a coincidence.
Jingyang Mountains are one of the most famous soul beast settlements in the Sun and Moon Continent except for the evil forest; they are even ranked in the top five on the entire continent.
In terms of geographical overview, the overall shape of the Jingyang Mountains is like a large spider. The central mountain range covers a vast area, and the eight branches are like eight legs extending in different directions. The branches coil and protect the central mountain range. The number of soul beasts in the branches is relatively small and the minerals are abundant. There are many soul beasts in the central mountain range, and there are many strong people among them, especially the main peak Jingyang Peak as the forbidden area.
No one can tell clearly what powerful soul beasts are in Jingyang Mountains; however, it is rumored that thousands of years ago, the ruler of Jingyang Mountains was a tiger soul beast with a cultivation level of ferocious beasts. It was extremely fierce and attacked many surrounding human villages.
Later, he was a great master of the world. He only had Jingyang Peak on his body and fought with the fierce tiger for three days and three nights before killing him, leaving behind a good story.
It is precisely because of the numerous powerful soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountains that even with extremely rich mineral deposits, the Sun and Moon Empire did not make up its mind to develop this mountain range on a large scale and preserve it until today.
Three days later, Jiang Yun and Wang Dong used a flying soul guide to the Jingyang Mountains thousands of miles away from Mingdu. They also went with them. There was also a senior senior who was also a student of Mr. Lam, named Cang Yuzhu, who was a slightly fat and pretty girl.
Speaking of which, Wang Dong can finally use some simple soul guides. When his soul guide wings separated the air in the air and swept through the clouds, even though there was still a burst of discomfort in his mind, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.
"Hey! Is this your first time using a flying soul guide? Just like a primary school student."
Watching Wang Dong rolling in the clouds from time to time, Cang Yuzhu rolled her eyes and said.
"That's really sorry, it's my first time using it."
Wang Dong shook in the air and replied.
"ha?"
A surprised color flashed in Cang Yuzhu's green eyes.
Jiang Yun approached Cang Yuzhu and whispered to tell her Wang Dong that he was in a low voice about his resistance to the soul guide. A hint of surprise and sympathy flashed in Cang Yuzhu's eyes.
"Is there such a thing actually born with such a situation? I have never heard of it."
"To be honest, I heard that junior brother, you are from Haotian Sect? The soul master of Haotian Hammer's martial soul seems to have not been active for thousands of years. I just heard that the new sect leader of Haotian Sect seems to be Niu Tian, but he is not a member of the Tang family."
Cang Yuzhu asked curiously.
"Oh, the reason behind this is very complicated. In short, our Haotian Sect has been sealed again, which is not worthy of being told by outsiders. To be honest, I don't understand some of the situations in the sect myself."
Wang Dong shook his head and said with a wry smile.
When the beautiful sunset rose in the western sky, they finally arrived near the destination of the trip. From a distance, from the sky, the Jingyang Mountains were like a huge spider, or a giant octopus, crawling on the ground. It was gloomy and majestic and magnificent.
It is also a place where soul beasts live, but the feeling here gives people is completely different from that of the Star Fighting Forest.
The Stardou Forest is deep and boundless, but it is a wild and fierce smell. Perhaps the background here is far from being compared with the Stardou Forest, but it is more aggressive.
"Let's rest nearby tonight. We will go to the mountain to test the soul guide tomorrow, and we will also try our luck to find the right soul beast for you."
Cang Yuzhu looked at Wang Dong and said with a smile. Wang Dong nodded.
The three of them landed a hundred miles away from the Jingyang Mountains and found a higher and flat place to set up a camp tent. The existence of a storage soul guide made the soul master carry quite sufficient things. Three people and three camp tents were quickly arranged with the busyness of the three.
On the road before, Jiang Yun also learned that Huo Yuhao had a conflict with a royal family not long ago, and is now detained by his mentor and cannot go anywhere. This is also the reason why Wang Dong did not call Huo Yuhao this time.
The next morning, the three of them set out and entered the Jingyang Mountains.
Cang Yuzhu took out a piece of equipment that looked very strange from the storage soul guide.
It was a very strange thing. The whole was a spherical shape with a diameter of about two meters. There were three seats inside, one in front and two in the back. The spherical shape was sealed, but there were windows separated by crystals on the front, back and left and right, so you could see the outside through the window.
Below the sphere, there are six long legs made of metal. Each one is divided into three sections, with a sharp end and can be easily inserted into the soil. The second section of the six long legs is raised, and the third section is connected under the sphere. It looks very strange.
"Is this the all-terrain self-propelled soul guide?"
Wang Dong lay on the crystal window, looking at the internal structure through the crystal, and asked like a curious baby.
"That's right, this is the all-terrain self-operated soul guide. We need to sit in the sphere and control it as a whole through the core magic array of the soul guide inside. The sphere itself is made of high-density alloy and can withstand the attacks of the ten thousand-year-old soul beast. At the same time, the sphere itself can also release the soul guide shield. The core magic array attached to the soul guide shield is currently at level 5, and Jiang Yun and I can control it."
"Not only that, it also has the function of isolating the breath. As long as we sit inside, we are not afraid of being detected by soul beasts. It can move flexibly in various terrains. If we encounter danger on the mountain, it can also retract its long legs and release a thick layer of rubber to roll down from a high place while protecting our safety. Moreover, the sphere itself is sealed, and when necessary, it will not have any problems falling into the water. This all-terrain soul detection guide emphasizes first the ability to survive. Therefore, the armor is very heavy, but it consumes a lot of soul power. With my cultivation level, I can control it for about half an hour and need to restore my soul power through meditation. But if it is controlled by Jiang Yun and I take turns, it should last longer."
"It's amazing. I've never seen such a soul guide in Shrek Academy."
Wang Dong said in amazement, feeling that he seemed to be admiring a magical work of art.
"But its main function should be the military field!"
Wang Dong stroked the crystal window and said inexplicably.
"You are right. This is just a test piece. What will be installed in the army in the future will be much better than this. This will probably be within ten years."
Cang Yuzhu said with certainty without shyness.
"Your Sun and Moon Empire has even created such perverted things. If thousands of such monsters appear on the battlefield, even the millions of troops of the three empires will collapse in an instant. I am a little surprised, why, until now, you have not launched a war to unify the continent."
Wang Dong sighed lightly and said.
"It can't be said that. At present, this technology is still very immature, because the research on combat-type soul guides will be more complicated and the consumption of soul power is too huge. Even the strong man at the level of the title Douluo may not be able to control it for a long time, but the role it can actually play is not as good as the title Douluo itself. This is obviously not what we want. If ordinary people want to operate such weapons, there is still a long way to go, or we still need to wait for a real scientific and technological revolution."
Cang Yuzhu explained with a smile.
"Will the next technological revolution?"
Wang Dong lowered his head and whispered.
He learned in his book that so far, there have been two soul-guided scientific and technological revolutions: the first scientific and technological revolution was two thousand years ago, and the core of multiple soul-guided magic arrays began to be widely used, supporting the emergence of large soul-guided machinery; the second scientific and technological revolution was in recent hundreds of years, and the application and exploration of various fossil fuels, electricity, and new materials. Strictly speaking, this may not be considered a soul-guided scientific and technological revolution, because the core of this scientific and technological revolution is not a "soul guide" in the strict sense.
What will the next soul-guided technological revolution look like? What changes will this continent usher in?
There is no doubt that every soul-guided scientific and technological revolution has brought great changes to the mainland, or the Sun and Moon Empire. The first soul-guided scientific and technological revolution has brought about a new round of urbanization, with factories rising from the ground, and a large amount of minerals buried deep underground have been transformed into people's food, clothing, housing and transportation;
The impact of the second soul-guided scientific and technological revolution may be more profound. Although the impact on high-level soul-guided instruments may not be that great, it has brought earth-shaking changes to the appearance of the city; now the Mingdu, which is full of tall buildings and neon lights, is gradually formed after the second soul-guided scientific and technological revolution.
In fact, the essence of the soul-guided scientific and technological revolution is the soul-guided industrial revolution; from this perspective, the Three Kingdoms originally belonged to Douluo Continent, have completely missed two scientific and technological revolutions. This is not something that can be changed by learning some technology and giving birth to several high-level soul mentors.
Originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, and even Shrek City, there was no real industrial system at all, and the process of industrialization had not started; for 99% of the people in the continent, their lives were actually no substantial difference from ten thousand years ago.
Perhaps, now, with tens of thousands of years of background, with the superior talent of soul masters, and richer soul beast resources, the three kingdoms originally belonged to Douluo Continent can still compete with the Sun and Moon Empire; but what if it is after the next technological revolution?
Perhaps, at that time, everything on the old continent would be wiped out like a tide; but at that time, would those people really sit and watch?
Thinking of some of the words that my eldest and second fathers once revealed, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel heavier. At this time, he himself had an extremely strong sense of contradiction. He didn't know whether he hoped that the Sun and Moon Empire would smoothly unify the world, or that the Three Kingdoms originally belonged to Douluo Continent could retain the inheritance.
Cang Yuzhu walked to the all-terrain self-sporting soul guide, held the handrail, and climbed in. Jiang Yun and Wang Dong followed suit.
The interior of the all-terrain soul guide is very simple, and it can even be described as simple. There are only a few metal poles in front of the first seat, and I don’t know what it is for. The three seats are the simplest metal seats, fixed in a small space inside the sphere. There are seat belts on the seats. The place where they enter is one of the windows. In addition to the surrounding windows, there is also a larger window directly above the sphere, and there seems to be a seam in the center.
After the two of them sat firmly, Cang Yuzhu explained: "The purpose of our all-terrain soul detection guide is to transport and protect the soul tutor. When the soul tutor needs to fight, it can be directly popped out of the seat, and the crystal glass on it will separate to both sides and send people out directly. Each seat can control this option. On the right side of your seat, there is a red button. If you slap it with your palm, you will be popped out."
Jiang Yun and the others nodded, admiring the ingenious design of the soul guide. Jiang Yun even imagined the scene where the soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire were ejected, crossed the rushing river, landed through parachutes, and then launched a direct attack on the enemy on the other side.
Cang Yuzhu chose one of them from the joystick in front of her. With a gentle pull, the window that had been opened before slowly closed. The three of them were sealed within the sphere with a diameter of two meters.
"Note, I'm going to start." As he said, a light green light shone on Cang Yuzhu's body, two yellow, two purple, and one black. Five best-match soul rings lit up one after another. He held the thickest metal pole in front of him with his left hand, and his soul power was fully injected into it.
Suddenly, the entire terrain detection soul guide began to move. With the gentle mechanical sound, the sphere slowly rose, and six long metal legs slowly supported it. At this time, you can see the outside world more clearly through the window.
"Senior Brother Jiang Yun, you can control the soul guide shield." As she said, she slapped a button on the left, and a metal pole also rose in front of Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun held it with both hands, ready to output soul power at any time.
"If there is no problem, then I'll set out."
Cang Yuzhu smiled slightly, and slowly pushed forward with the metal rod in his left hand. Suddenly, the six thick metal legs began to slowly move forward, and the entire terrain detection soul guide also began to vibrate.
However, as Cang Yuzhu said before, the soul power consumption of this soul guide seems to be very huge. At the moment of activation, due to excessive soul power consumption, her face even paled for a moment. If she was a soul tutor below level 5, it should be impossible to operate.
Sitting in this novel soul guide, Wang Dong's face was full of excitement at first, but not long after, his face became bitter.
Sitting in a sealed ball is definitely not a comfortable thing, the biggest problem is bumps. Although the all-terrain detection soul guide itself has certain shock absorption capabilities, how can it be smooth during operation? Sit on a hard chair, don't mention the taste.
In just a quarter of an hour, Cang Yuzhu stopped and said she wanted to rest. At this time, they had already arrived in front of a branch of the Jingyang Mountains. Go forward and go up the mountain.
"Senior Brother Wang Dong, Junior Brother Jiang Yun, how do you feel?"
Cang Yuzhu took a sip of water, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked with a smile.
"It's so uncomfortable. You should just put on the upper layer of soul beast skin first!"
Wang Dong looked at the hard metal seat and said with disgust.
"This soul guide is really bulky. If used in actual combat, it is probably only used to transport troops and cannot be used directly as weapons."
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said.
Cang Yuzhu nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, there are indeed many disadvantages. We can only continue to improve. Judging from the current research speed, it will take a long time to make progress. There are already some voices in the empire, and we believe that more energy should be focused on the research of fixed-mounted soul guides. After all, fixed-mounted soul guides can be operated by soul mentors with low cultivation, and their attack power is also very amazing. And the research funding required for such soul guide robots to achieve something is too terrifying."
"Maybe, with our current overall scientific level, it is still a bit too ambitious to force these things."
Jiang Yun also sighed lightly and said.
From a military perspective, there are indeed many things that can be developed for fixed-mounted soul-guided artillery shells. Many types of artillery shells, which do not even require any soul-guided magic array, can reach level three, level four, or even higher level of destruction power, which is worth in-depth development.
Even Jiang Yun heard at a lecture at Mingde Hall that scientists are currently exploring a kind of fission; it is said that through this principle, a level 9 fixed-mounted soul-guided artillery cannonball that does not require a soul-guided magic array sounds really fantasy.
