Chapter 41 The wave of agencies!
"In the future, our empire will begin mass production of this so-called 'hidden weapon' and will also open sales channels. However, we have decided to give this weapon its official name as 'organ weapon'."
Zhongli continued. Ning Fengzhi also nodded.
The name "hidden weapon" always feels like it is not dignified. It is some kind of side theory specially used for sneak attacks, not an upright and aboveboard powerful killing weapon.
As for the name "organ weapon", it is consistent with the characteristics and does not have the connotation of being heresy or hurting people in the dark.
Originally, the Qianyan Army was also equipped with many weapons such as crossbows to defend the country from foreign enemies on the battlefield. If it is used for assassinations and fights, it is inferior.
The origin of this ancient weapon is even older than Liyue and Qianyan Army; a group of immortals also learned and mastered this technology in the battle with the enemy, and shined in the war between demons and gods. .
"Then may I ask the price"
"Don't worry, Sect Master Ning. When the time comes, we will give you a list of the weapons for sale and their prices. However, the empire must strictly manage machine weapons; in addition to the sale of every machine weapon, it must be strictly controlled. It is on record. Anyone who holds agency weapons must first pass the imperial review and apply for an 'organ certificate'."
"'Organization certificate'?"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but be startled.
"That's right. The so-called 'organ certificate' is the qualification certificate for holding agency weapons. The state will strictly verify this; and the person holding the certificate is also responsible for the agency weapons held in his name. Once out of the If there is any problem, the accountability process will be initiated. Not only will the certificate be revoked, but there will also be other corresponding penalties.”
The more Zhong Li continued talking, the more serious Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's expressions became, and at the same time they were secretly frightened in their hearts.
Did the fifth prince come up with all these things? No wonder the fifth prince had the confidence to sell such a dangerous weapon. This set of measures can indeed control risks to a minimum.
Not only is every piece of machine weaponry recorded and accompanied by corresponding documents, it can be mapped to a specific person in charge after leakage; the sects and forces that can purchase machine weapons are also stipulated by the empire, which is the so-called "license".
The imperial official has the right to issue licenses to sects at any time, and also has the right to withdraw decentralized licenses. Different license plate specifications also correspond to the specific upper limit of the number of machine weapons that can be held.
For example, what Zhongli promised the Qibao Glazed Sect now is the most advanced "Class A license." It is allowed to possess three special-class machine weapons, fifteen first-class machine weapons, fifty second-class machine weapons, and one hundred and fifty third-class machine weapons.
The so-called third-level machine weapons are machine weapons with power similar to the Silent Sleeve Arrow. The second-level weapon is probably equivalent to the range of innuendo to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. As for first-class mechanical weapons, they are more powerful than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and can threaten fifth- and sixth-ring level soul masters.
The special machine weapons are similar to the "Xuanji Flute" that Zhongli just showed, or the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, Peacock Feather, Angry Buddha Tang Lotus, etc. that exist in the legend of Tang Sect. It can already be said to be a very dangerous strategic weapon.
Only those who hold the highest level "A-class license" are qualified to hold special-class agency weapons. As the license level decreases, the number of machine weapons allowed to be possessed also shrinks accordingly.
With the lowest "D-level license", the entire sect is only allowed to own ten second-class machine weapons and fifteen third-class machine weapons. The total is only twenty-five, and one more is not enough. Once it is discovered that a sect holding a license intentionally leaks or resells purchased agency weapons through any channel, or accumulates agency weapons exceeding the prescribed limit, the license will be revoked directly. Then, according to the contract, the empire will use any means to forcefully take back all the agency weapons owned by the sect and confiscate the "organ certificates" of the sect members.
In addition, those who hold "organ certificates" are also obliged to accept the call of the empire in accordance with the contract when the empire needs it. This is the so-called "fighting to defend the country."
After listening to what Zhong Li said, both Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi fell silent. Finally, the two looked at each other and saw a wry smile in each other's eyes.
Mechanical weapons are easy to use, but once you hold them in your hands, they will be manipulated by the Tiandou Empire! For Zhongli, this is pure conspiracy; but how many people in this world can resist such a conspiracy?
If you think about it more deeply, in order to obtain a "license" or increase the level of authority of a "license", how many sects and forces will have to bow to the Tiandou Empire from now on? And the forces that are enemies of the Tiandou Empire may have trouble sleeping and eating!
Not to mention anything else, after this matter spreads out, can Wuhun Hall still be able to sit still? The emergence of mechanical weapons was originally a revolutionary challenge for the world of soul masters.
Theoretically speaking, a great soul master holding a mechanical weapon like the "Mysterious Flute" has the ability to threaten Soul Saints and even Contras. And the "Xuanji Flute" was just a weapon that Zhongli took out to demonstrate to them. Who knows if there is anything more terrifying and heaven-defying in the Tiandou Empire's current weapons arsenal?
In fact, although they don't have it yet, Zhongli and Ying do have such technology. The "Xuanji Flute" can only be regarded as a relatively low-cost mechanical weapon, and the requirements for the consumption of immortal power are very low. On the continent of Teyvat, it is designed for "ordinary people" who do not have the eyes of God. (You can have a certain amount of power without the Eye of God, and it may even be very strong)
As for truly terrifying existences, such as the "Endgame Machine", they are a bit too supermodel to appear on Douluo Continent now. Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Beast God Emperor Tian can be killed instantly with one strike without any suspense.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin watched Zhongli and his party leave from the Qibao Glazed Sect with complicated emotions.
"Old Jian, what do you think?"
Ning Fengzhi exhaled a long breath, the expression on his face became extremely solemn, and said.
"The world is about to change in this continent! Last time, when I saw that boy named Tang San take out those two hidden weapons, I just thought they were interesting. Those two hidden weapons were still too weak. It has a great influence on low-level soul masters, but the slightly more powerful beings don't care about this thing. The price he sells it for at least means that it is unlikely that this kind of thing will be widely circulated in a short period of time."< br>
Chen Xin sighed and said.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. The price Tang San sold it for was, to put it harshly, a complete rip-off. He wouldn't believe that the manufacturing cost of this thing could be one-tenth of the selling price. It's just that their Qibao Glazed Sect is very wealthy and doesn't lack this little money.
If it were a civilian soul master, when he saw the "innuendo" price, he could turn around and leave without even thinking about it. With this kind of money, you can hire a soul master to be your thug.
There is another point that Chen Xin did not mention. He didn't know why, but the child Tang San gave him the feeling that he was narrow-minded, unyielding and unable to achieve great things. Unless fate favors such a person, even if he holds gold in his hand, he will just end up making wedding clothes for others.
And the fifth prince Xueli
First of all, with the Tiandou Empire as his backer, as long as he has the technology, he can promote this kind of mechanical weapon as quickly as possible. The Tiandou Empire may not have powerful top-level soul masters, but it is a country after all. Once the productivity is activated, it will be overwhelming. No sect or family can compare, not even the Spirit Hall.
He even had a hunch that perhaps the era when the soul master family was parallel to or even superior to the country was really coming to an end. The future will be a more orderly era and an era more beneficial to civilians.
And all ancient sects and forces, including them, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, including the Haotian Sect, and the Wuhun Palace, must withstand the test of this wave; those who pass the test can continue to exist, while those who fail the test can continue to exist. .
This will be the most cruel wave in the history of Douluo Continent!
