Xuance meeting.
"...Tiangong Temple is also in urgent need of manpower!"
The indifferent voice of the Xuance Master Zuo Yining, with a hint of determination, was echoing in the empty Xuance Hall.
The Xuan Masters present immediately heard that Zuo Yining was not prepared to compromise.
This is not surprising.
In just a few months, the Tianrong Palace managed to steal away seven of the twenty-six most skilled craftsmen in the Tiangong Palace, and there were even more master craftsmen and apprentices.
This was no longer just a poaching, but an entire wall had been removed.
Even the Clay Bodhisattva has fire energy, let alone a powerful person at the Xuan Master level?
Zuo Yining acted in a very orderly manner, but he did not refuse forcefully. He immediately proposed a solution:
"Tianrong Palace's annual output of Kemo internal combustion engines may reach 500,000 units in the future. Coupled with the manufacturing of war eagles, the demand for craftsmen will definitely be astonishing.
"I think in the long run, Lanzhang Palace should put the training of craftsmen on the agenda as soon as possible, so that the manpower problem can be solved once and for all."
To be fair.
This is a fair statement.
It is also the only way to finally solve the problem.
But the problem is that water far away cannot save the fire close by. The goal of 100,000 internal combustion engines has been raised in front of everyone, and Tianrong Temple must produce it as soon as possible.
Lan Jiayao, the mysterious master in charge of the palace, showed a cold smile: "According to Special Envoy Cheng's long-term plan, the annual output of internal combustion engines will reach 10 million units."
Zuo Yining was taken aback and blurted out, "How could there be so many?"
The "five hundred thousand units" he mentioned just now was as high an estimate as possible. Unexpectedly, the estimate given by the other party was actually twenty times higher.
This was far beyond the limits of what he could have imagined.
It’s simply off the mark!
However, as the leader of a palace, it seemed disrespectful to question him so rashly, so he swallowed his words in time.
Zuo Yining nodded calmly: "It seems that Special Envoy Cheng is very confident."
Not only the headmaster was shocked.
Even other Xuan Masters were greatly surprised.
Yue Wanxing, the secret master of the Tiannong Hall, couldn't help but ask: "Lan Zhang Hall, a Kemo internal combustion engine is equal to a war eagle.
"Even if the war eagle is an important weapon that can change the form of war, it is unlikely that Qinghan Xuan Palace will produce ten million war hawks, right?
"In order to speed up production, the divine generals in the divine city must allocate tasks to each Xuan Palace. This Xuan Palace can only produce 500,000 aircraft."
The words "five hundred thousand" and other words deliberately emphasized the tone.
From this small detail, it can be judged that this mysterious master obviously supports Zuo Yining's point of view, and these words are exactly supporting the latter.
Otherwise, why bother specifically naming 500,000 aircraft?
After a while.
A male voice like gold and iron suddenly spread throughout the entire stone palace: "It makes sense! Ten million units is indeed too many."
It was the deputy palace master of Xuan Palace, named Kou Zhizhong.
It is not difficult to see that there are different factions within Xuan Palace.
Zuo Yining and Yue Wanxing, the two masters in charge of the palace, were undoubtedly members of Kou Zhizhong's faction.
This posture is the most typical factional gameplay - first the "minions" charge into the battle, and then the "leader" makes the final decision.
All of a sudden.
There was an undercurrent in the hall.
Palace Master Yun Changtian's eyes flashed and he was about to speak.
Lan Jiayao asked a question first: "Zuozhangdian, the internal combustion engine can be installed on the War Eagle, can't it be used in other places?"
When Palace Master Yun heard this, he immediately changed his tune: "That's right!"
The Xuandu Governor began to talk eloquently: "Although my understanding of machinery is limited, I also know the concept of 'prime mover', which is 'all machinery that uses energy to generate prime mover'."
This is actually "learning now and selling now".
In recent times, the palace master "peeped" into a lot of letters between Cheng Han and the master craftsman, and he really learned a lot of new terms.
Palace Master Yun continued: "The internal combustion engine is a kind of 'prime mover'. Since it can drive the war eagle to fly into the sky, it can naturally drive other machinery as well."
Lan Jiayao praised decisively: "The Palace Master is absolutely right!"
The female mystic then threw out a piece of evidence: "Another project team led by Special Envoy Cheng has developed an internal combustion engine suitable for crystal energy vehicles.
"Special Envoy Cheng named it 'gasoline engine'. The fuel used by this thing is 'gasoline' extracted from brown oil."
Zuo Yining's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
The mysterious master instantly realized that he did not know the situation of the Science and Technology Research Institute, so he rashly "fired" at the opponent. This was a serious mistake.
Lan Jiayao gushed: "Crystal energy vehicles need to consume gray crystals, and the price of gray crystals is not cheap, which greatly limits the application of crystal energy vehicles.
"On the other hand, only the 'cloud blaster' of gasoline engines uses gray crystals, and the consumption of gray crystals has been reduced by more than 99%.
"Compared from a cost perspective, the power 'Spirit Crystal Array' used in crystal energy vehicles is quite expensive. Once gasoline engines begin to be mass-produced, the price will only be half of the former..."
The female mystic master listed several advantages in succession.
Anyone can tell that gasoline vehicles completely overwhelmed crystal energy vehicles.
By the way.
The so-called "cloud blaster" is a "magic modification" product created by combining the mysterious methods of this world.
Another space-time gasoline engine ignites the combustible mixture through a "spark plug". There is a combustion conduction process, and there is always a small amount of gasoline that is difficult to completely burn.
The cloud detonator has an instantaneous heating effect and can instantly ignite all the fuel in the cylinder, greatly improving combustion efficiency.
Cheng Han has always felt that the sparks generated when different technologies from the two worlds collide are really interesting.
Lan Jiayao ended the discussion with one sentence: "Special Envoy Cheng has a vision to bring gasoline vehicles into thousands of households and make ordinary people's lives more convenient."
The female Xuan Master paused deliberately and emphasized her tone: "Let Qinghan Xuan Palace and various small spiritual realms become a world on wheels and a highly efficient world."
This last sentence instantly moved the Lord of Xuan Palace.
"good!
"very good!"
Palace Master Yun expressed his admiration: "This is a highly anticipated vision. I am willing to do my best to support Special Envoy Cheng."
Kou Zhizhong's face twitched slightly.
Everyone present was a human being, and it was natural to hear that on the one hand, these words really liked this vision, and on the other hand, they were directed at the Deputy Palace Master.
Anyway.
This is an open and covert fight between the two Xuandu governors.
The new head of Tianwu Palace, Hang Yishi, intervened at the right time: "The gasoline engine invented by Special Envoy Cheng is very useful. Ten million units is really not too much."
obviously.
This Hangxuan master is from the Palace Master's lineage, and these words are also complimentary.
Lan Jiayao began to sing in harmony: "Special Envoy Cheng once made an estimate that the population under the jurisdiction of Benxuan Palace exceeds 300 million. Based on one gasoline engine for every ten people, 30 million gasoline engines are needed."
The astonishing figure of "30 million" caused a commotion in the stone palace.
Zuo Yining's face became a little ugly.
But no one objected.
Even the deputy palace master shut his mouth and remained silent.
After all, they had just been slapped in the mouth, and no one wanted to get on the pole to get slapped.
Lan Jiayao noticed this scene and felt a little emotion in her heart.
The female mystic master naturally understood the reason.
Without it.
In the past few months, the incredible creations made by Special Envoy Cheng shocked everyone, including the Deputy Palace Master.
Therefore, no one in this group of people had the confidence to speak out and refute.
In other words.
Although Special Envoy Cheng was not in the Xuance Palace, he still single-handedly defeated the deputy palace master's faction.
