At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
In the shipyard of Songjiang Prefecture, Su Hanshan looked at several medium-sized ships sent to the port for trial operation and nodded slightly.
“Each of these ships has three steam sand furnaces, coupled with the internal and external pipeline linkage system you personally designed, I can’t help but have some wonderful associations.”
Ling Du Xian put his hands inside his sleeves and looked at the ships moving fast on the turbulent waves. He narrowed his eyes slightly and kept talking.
“If each ship is regarded as a person, the three power furnaces are just like the three Dantians of a person, and those pipeline systems specially designed by you are imitating the human body. Meridians? ”
"But your pipeline system has internal and external linkages. I'm afraid it simulates not only the operation of power in the body, but also how the external power of heaven and earth is used in conjunction with the internal power?"
Su Hanshan chuckled: "You are quite good at thinking."
"Controlled For people, I have to work hard for you, and I have to do my best to prevent and control news, but I get tired easily."
Ling Duxian said, "You have to let me have some fun and slow down my mind. ”
Ling Duxian’s character is far from being a martial arts fanatic.
But at his age, he is quite distracted by other enjoyments, and he is still able to practice martial arts to the level he is now. He should definitely admit that martial arts is the subject he is most talented and good at.
It is always easier for people to feel fulfilled and relaxed when they explore areas in which they are good.
Su Hanshan feels the same way.
Although his love for martial arts has many factors, this kind of feeling that after experiencing the past and present life, thousands of twists and turns, suddenly found what he is best at, and he will not hesitate to climb endlessly, This is also a very important point.
"After the seven souls' vitality cultivated by the warriors are reconciled one after another, the jade liquid is completed. If you want to enter the realm of returning elixirs, you need to use the jade liquid as a guide to nourish the three dantians and at the same time, form a form that displaces the dantians. ”
"This power must be safe and stable enough, and finally guide the three dantians to merge into one, which is to achieve a golden elixir."
Su Hanshan explained without hesitation, "My martial arts path, and Your worldly traditions are different.”
“When I go a step further, the realm I enter is called Xuantai, which can also refine the essence of heaven and earth with great power. The effect is similar to that of the golden elixir.”
“But Xuantai builds a new organ outside the original structure of the human body, while the golden elixir moves three parts of the body and combines them together. Success."
"I have to focus on the future. It is impossible to take the path of golden elixir and reduce the integrity of my body and reduce the possibilities of the future."
Ling Duxian thoughtfully said: "But the golden elixir method does have advantages. Just like building a ship, it is much easier to build different parts first and then put them together than to build the entire ship in one go."< br>
“The way of golden elixir is to cultivate the three Dantians of the human body separately and mutage them, until they reach the standard that they can be used as golden elixir accessories, and then combine them. It’s much easier than pinching a mysterious embryo directly.”
Su Hanshan smiled: “Yes, so although I don’t follow the path of martial arts golden elixir, I will learn from its principles and use it to build ships. In the process, we are deliberating on how to combine the two paths.”
Using shipbuilding to practice martial arts can be said to serve multiple purposes.
The finished product of the boat will be even better in performance.
The metaphor of the boat will also help workers to have more vivid associations and understandings when practicing in the future.
Those retired workers are severely depleted and have become addicted to smoking. They must use Su Hanshan’s modified body concept method to completely seal off the middle Dantian.
Only after you have replenished your vitality, purified your qi and blood, and removed the toxins from the smoke can you practice the lower Dantian exercises again.
As long as the large number of workers who have not yet retired can ensure adequate food and rest, they will have better ways to change their situation.
While using the physical body to visualize and learn to control the middle Dantian skill more deeply and strengthen the heart and blood, you can also introduce a portion of the middle Dantian skill into the lower Dantian as a seed.
However, in this process, it is very difficult for these workers with very shallow martial arts realm to learn the coordinated operation of the two major Dantians, the two power centers and the meridians throughout the body.
Su Hanshan has also recently been thinking about how to optimize this set of exercises created for active workers so that they can learn them within a few months.
The final answer is that not only shipyards can carry out such improvements using metaphors, but also modification experiments can be carried out on furnaces in steel plants, textile machines in textile factories, etc.
Outside the shipyard, a knifeman carrying a chain saw hurried over.
"Sir, something happened on the railway!"
"The Wusong train transporting raw silk was hijacked by a group of robbers. They even asked the prefect to meet them in person to negotiate a ransom, otherwise they would set fire to all the raw silk on the train!"
Ling When Duxian heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Hijacking raw silk?!"
Although in the minds of many Western businessmen, trying to open up opium poppy plantations and refine tobacco for sale is the best way to maintain profits and have the lowest risk. Business.
If you have the means, or dare to ignore the East India Company's monopoly authority on bulk tea transactions, and develop your own tea plantations, it will inevitably be a hugely profitable business.
But in fact, for the land of China today, for the port of Songjiangkou.
The largest import volume is not smoke, but cotton fabrics.
The number one export volume is not tea, but raw silk, the product obtained by reeling silkworm cocoons, which is the raw material of silk.
Since the Han Dynasty, silk has been one of the most sought-after goods when the Chinese dynasty began trading goods with foreign kingdoms.
Even after nearly two thousand years, the charm of silk has not faded.
With the progress of the times and the development of various technologies closely related to human beings, this most advanced textile material has given human beings more surprises.
It has good thermal insulation, is flammable but slow-burning, has excellent electrical insulation, and has extremely high strength for the same diameter.
It has a wide range of uses in medicine, industry, etc.
When the British occupied Songjiang Prefecture, the first thing they did was to take control of the pricing power of raw silk and notify various places that they wanted to suppress prices on a large scale and then purchase it.
Later, several forces fought, and the price of raw silk increased again. The profits were considerable, which further stimulated production capacity in various places, and it became the unshakable and unrivaled overlord in China's export trade today.
“Several warlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are fighting again this year, especially on the waterways. Their competition is very fierce. Many businessmen who used to transport raw silk by waterways, after considering it, also united and switched to land transportation. I would rather pay an extra twenty or thirty taels of silver per ton.”
"On this train, there are nearly two thousand tons of raw silk. It is the first big business of raw silk export this year. Many silk merchants are waiting to receive the goods."
Ling Duxian's brow Tighten it up, "these railways connected to Songjiang Prefecture were originally signed by the four forces and signed an armistice agreement." After the joint initiative, the cargo and passengers were always safe, and no one dared to make a big provocation."
"Where did the robbers come from so boldly?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Su Hanshan.
If he had encountered such a thing before, he would have had enough confidence to solve it.
But after his first encounter with Su Hanshan, he was now extremely wary of people and things that sounded abnormal at first sight.
"Then let's go and have a look together."
Su Hanshan finished his words, turned around and walked out.
The station where the raw silk train arrives is in the western suburbs of Songjiang Prefecture.
This was originally a remote town. Since the railway station was located here, the tracks were laid, warehouses were built, and there were more shanties for workers to live in. It was very lively.
Every time a train arrives at the station, coolies carrying big bags and many other people come to watch. It is not uncommon for thousands of people to gather around the station.
The robbers were very courageous. They suddenly appeared after the train had entered the station, claiming to negotiate with the prefect and so on. They also destroyed the waiting hall, causing the roof of the entire hall to crack and collapse, and smoke was everywhere.
Now all the onlookers have been scared away. The entire town has closed its doors and windows. Most of the residents are hiding in their homes, afraid to go out for fear of running into those lawless bandits.
Some clerks from foreign companies and followers of wealthy businessmen rushed to the city to report the news.
The older ones, who had a portrait of the Earth Bodhisattva in their homes, quickly knelt down and prayed, asking the government to come as soon as possible to drive away these bandits.
Su Hanshan and Ling Duxian's footsteps were too fast for others to keep up, and it would be useless to follow them.
It was just the two of them arriving. They seemed to be strolling leisurely, and when they took a step forward, their figures would often appear dozens of meters away. They walked through the town and the first thing they saw was the dilapidated waiting hall.
The fifty-car train is like a silent python, with its head close to the dilapidated hall and its tail extending far to the west.
The railway, longer than the "Python", extends outside the town, into the wilderness, to the end of the western horizon.
Ling Duxian stopped, moved his ears slightly, and listened carefully to what was going on over there.
Those robbers who were said to be very arrogant are now missing.
In the entire train, there was no sound of anyone moving or talking from beginning to end.
"The more I look at it, the more it looks like a trap."
Ling Duxian said cautiously, "The train might be filled with explosives. As soon as we get closer, it will It will be detonated by remote control.”
"There are some very precious special bombs. The shrapnel has been carved and hollowed out, and is good at breaking the air. At the moment of detonation, the speed of the shrapnel can reach more than twice the speed of sound, and the shrapnel material itself is highly toxic."
" If you fall into a dense encirclement formed by such bombs, even people in the Yuye realm are in danger of dying."
Su Hanshan didn't care about this.
"Then let me go and see what's going on on the train first."
As he walked towards the train, he released a barrier about ten feet in diameter.
Looking from a distance, it looks like an icy blue hemispherical light mask, with Su Hanshan's body as the center point, moving in accordance with his footsteps.
In the place shrouded in icy blue light, the air hardened directly, the dust stopped in mid-air, and the grass among the gravel fell into stillness.
After Su Hanshan left this area, all the subtle things became active again.
In terms of movement speed, even if Su Hanshan explodes at full strength now, it is definitely not as good as the bullets fired by some of the most sophisticated firearms in the world, or the fragments of bombs.
However, the extreme barrier, which is sublimated from the condensed light leather energy, is the best at restraining firearms and bomb fragments.
Because the mass of the shrapnel is too small, no matter how fast the speed is, the kinetic energy will not be very large.
In the air that is as hard as rock, the possibility of shrapnel penetrating a distance of two meters is extremely slim.
And for some types of explosives, the completely hardened air does not have enough oxygen to circulate, and it does not even have the conditions for it to explode.
On the contrary, if a master in the Yuye realm takes a spear weighing several tons and throws it with all his strength, although the speed is not as fast as a bullet, it will be more threatening to Su Hanshan's barrier.
Soon, the icy blue barrier enveloped the dilapidated hall and the front of the train.
Su Hanshan himself walked around the hall and walked to the platform.
Dang! ! ! !
The moment he stepped onto the platform, the hall behind and the front of the car suddenly collided.
Although the roof of that hall has a traditional wooden frame and is covered with black tiles, the four walls are all made of cement red bricks, which are more than half a foot thick.
The front of the car is the place with the highest steel content in the entire train.
These two behemoths usually only give people the feeling of being heavy, solid, and difficult to move.
Now, against the suppression of the ice blue barrier, they hit the same point, like a towel that was closed and twisted by an invisible giant.
Concrete walls and steel squeezed each other, and the hard materials made a tooth-grinding sound, which was like the muffled thunder of winter, breaking and colliding one after another.
Steel is embedded in cement, and cement is embedded in steel, compressing and twisting to create spiral patterns.
Less than a second!
In less than a second, the cement hall and steel front end were screwed into a giant threaded pillar.
Su Hanshan’s figure was completely swallowed up in this pillar.
Ling Duxian's eyes changed suddenly, and he retreated fifty meters. He looked in all directions and listened in all directions, but he found no trace of the enemy.
No one within the field of vision or sensing range launched an attack on Su Hanshan.
However, the changes in the dilapidated hall and the front of the train are definitely not situations that can be caused by gunpowder weapons.
boom! ! !
The area where Ling Duxian is located is full of shacks. They were originally places where the coolies rested and placed their tools. Now those coolies have long since escaped, and naturally there is no one in the house. .
However, suddenly there was a house on each side on the left and right, their roots were broken and they collided with each other.
Ling Duxian was between the two houses. He was already on guard. His figure jumped up and went straight into the sky.
The two houses collided below, and large pieces of bamboo wood were broken, but they were broken but not scattered.
All the building materials, including the carts, hemp ropes, poles, and baskets originally placed inside the house, all spun up and rushed into the air like a tornado in the desert.
Ling Duxian's eyes were cold, and he punched down. The surrounding air became heavy and sticky, like long snakes, turning and whistling.
Hundreds of airflows followed his punch, merging and crashing downwards, dispersing the spiral tornado formed by the two houses, leaving only debris flying in the sky, and all the wood and bamboo were not broken into pieces. To the size of a palm.
Even if there are so many Xuanyin sword plagues planted in the body, as long as these sword plagues do not occur, Ling Duxian's strength is still superior to that of the Shamen Taoist priest.
But after the spiral tornado was shattered, Ling Duxian still felt that something rushed up from below and crashed into his body.
The strength of his fist did not dissipate, and his body-protecting energy was still there.
The three major dantians of the upper, middle and lower regions, as well as the internal energy of three natures: essence refining, blood refining, and spirit refining, could not stop the inexplicable thing.
Ling Duxian's figure was impacted and rose nearly a hundred meters into the air.
His face became extremely pale, and he felt like his chest and abdomen were churning, and he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit anything out.
It seemed like a cold and sharp hand was stirring among his internal organs, rummaging through his liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, trying to grab his heart and crush it.
No, not as if.
While Ling Duxian was looking inside, he actually saw five sunken finger marks on the surface of his heart.
The invisible and unstoppable hand was tightening tighter and tighter, preventing his heart from beating, squeezing it out of shape, and crushing it completely.
He has completely given up on using pure internal strength to intercept this hand, and poured all his internal strength into his heart to strengthen the heart.
However, local martial arts do not pay attention to the tempering of the physical body. Even if the jade liquid zhenqi can greatly strengthen the heart with a low burden, in this situation where one's own heart is used as the battlefield, It is already a dying disadvantage.
Suddenly, the giant threaded pillar in the distance exploded.
Su Hanshan's figure flashed, making a full arc in mid-air, appearing directly behind Ling Duxian, and punched him in the back.
With one punch, Ling Duxian almost felt that his five internal organs were colliding, and at the same time, there was majestic vitality penetrating between his five internal organs. In this collision, a chaotic instant was created The force field filtered and diluted most of the irresistible strange hand.
"What a powerful method. I tried my best to sense it, but I can't figure out how this force affects us."
Su Hanshan's words floated in the air, and the figure floated in the air. Stepping, flashing, flashing again.
Afterimages were left in the sky, and each afterimage was further apart than before.
“But I feel the hostility you sprouted from one kilometer away!!”
