He turned around and looked at Fang Junfeng and Xie Yusheng: "You two, what do you want from me?"
Only then did he realize that the two people had not watched Ying Yi kill the monster, but were still discussing something. They came back to their senses when they heard Li Bochen speak. Being able to be so absorbed at this time must be because of the armored vehicle. But in the current situation, no matter how improved the armored vehicles are, it will not change the overall situation, but if they really accomplish something, it can be inspiring.
Fang Junfeng immediately said: "Junhou, Mr. Meng and Miss Tao have come up with a powerful thing. We would like to borrow your knife to use it."
Fang Junfeng was usually smart and capable, but now he spoke carelessly, as if his mind was elsewhere. But he actually mentioned Tao Chunxi - Li Bochen was stunned: "Miss Tao? What's going on?"
But Xie Yusheng said: "This is for you, Your Majesty. Just now, Mr. Meng and we were thinking about how to renovate the armored vehicle so that it can be put to use. In the middle of the conversation, Miss Tao came over and said she had a great idea. We didn't believe it at first, but Mr. Meng talked to her for a few words and felt that it was very useful. But if we really want to do it, we have to use the kind of iron wood used to build camps in the past - our guys are useless. I heard that the king's knife can cut iron. Like mud, borrow it if you dare."
Fang Junfeng then said: "Yes, that's what happened."
Tao Chunxi? When he entrusted the bead to her not long ago, she started crying in a panic. Why was she running to get some war equipment now? Li Bochen was stunned for a while and sighed. Maybe he had underestimated her in the past - he only thought she was an ordinary girl who could panic and be afraid. But now that we know the situation is critical, can we cheer up again?
Or...she wants to do something for herself.
He said, "You two, take me to see it."
The secret realm is in the shape of a water drop. There is a large open space around the river center island. The armored vehicle is parked on a grassland to the west of the river center island, shining brightly in the sun. Li Boxen saw a table set up next to the car from a distance. Meng Peiyong and Tao Chunxi were talking and looking at the table. Zhou Pan led two apprentices to make gestures on several logs piled beside the car.
But as we walked closer, we found that Tao Chunxi was speaking and Meng Peiyong was listening.
Fang Junfeng said from afar: "The Lord is here with a sword!"
Tao Chunxi immediately raised his head and looked over. When she was talking to Meng Peiyong just now, she looked very focused, as if she had become a teacher in Zhangcheng Shu again. But when she saw Li Bochen, her eyes turned red, and she finally held it back.
As soon as Li Bochen said "Miss Tao", Meng Peiyong raised his head and shouted: "Junhou, this is amazing, Miss Tao is really amazing, come and see! This thing is amazing!"
Li Bochen had no choice but to look at Tao Chunxi again and quickly walked to the table.
There are several sheets of straw paper spread on the table, densely covered with characters. Some of them Li Bochen recognized, they seemed to be runes and the like, while others were similar to the drawings he came from, and he was completely confused. But the outline of the thing drawn in the middle is very familiar - a thick round tube with a wheel on each side.
Is this a cannon? Li Bochen felt a little disappointed - he had been here for so many years and then lived in the army, so naturally he knew this very well. There are fireworks and gunpowder here. It's not that no one has thought about building a cannon, but it's just that it's not as powerful as Wuliang City's bed crossbow. The bed crossbow, like the armored chariot, uses the "artistic mind" of art. The talisman heart engraved with layers of formations provides powerful power, which can make a bed crossbow shoot hundreds of kilograms of thick iron arrows. With such a thing, people would only think about how to make those formations more imprinted and have more spiritual power, but naturally no one would study gunpowder cannons.
But Meng Peiyong seemed to have read his thoughts and said: "Junhou, this thing is not a cannon! Ask Miss Tao to tell you!"
Li Bochen went to see Tao Chunxi and saw that she was also looking at him. At this time, she averted her eyes, pointed at the graphic runes on the papyrus paper, and said softly: "I thought about this when I came to the west."
She paused, glanced at Li Bochen, and then said: "Shu Xin uses formations to stimulate the pure and turbid qi to gain strength, which can drive things like armored vehicles. This power is so powerful, if it is fired like a cannon to attack the enemy Woolen cloth?"
"But later I thought it was impossible. The gunpowder used in the cannon was very weak, and an iron or copper barrel could withstand it. But the power of the artillery was much greater than that of the gunpowder. Ordinary iron Not only can the copper pipes be unbearable, they cannot be restrained, and will spread around." 020 Reading
"Later I came here... General Qin said that the iron wood used to build the outer walls of the camp was unusual. There was spiritual power in the iron wood, and there was a lot of it. I thought maybe the iron wood could be used... I could use the spiritual power in it to make a living. It serves as a guide. Li... Junhou, you know, there are small tubes in the wood, and water usually flows... It's actually not a difficult thing to do. "
Meng Peiyong immediately said: "Your Majesty, Miss Tao is too humble. The power in Shu's heart is very similar to the spiritual power. If you want to draw it out, you don't have to fire off a cannon. Instead, you have to set up a formation on the outer wall of the iron wood. Guide the spiritual power out. This paper is the formation that Miss Tao thought of - I don't understand it, but General Fang and General Xie looked at it and said it can be used."
Li Bochen was a little disapproving at first, but when he heard this, his heart finally beat suddenly.
Why didn't he have any intentions? When he was in Wuliang City, he knew that Shu Xin used formations to stimulate the two turbid and clear qi to gain power. At that time, he thought it was similar to where he came from. The two qing and turbid qi referred to water vapor. Later, he accidentally saw the magic heart used by the armored vehicle - it was just a thin piece the size of a palm.
It is naturally impossible for such a thin thing to hold water inside. After asking again, I found out that it was actually spiritual energy - the formation above Shuxin also collected the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to provide power. Although spiritual energy has the word "qi", it has no substance in the living world and cannot be beaten out like air.
But from what Tao Chunxi said... was she planning to use ironwood that had been tempered in that realm?
The tubes in the wood she said refer to the conduits in the wood... they usually transport nutrients and moisture. For wood, it is actually very similar to human meridians. When a person performs Qigong, spiritual energy flows in the meridians and apertures... Did she create some kind of formation that can cause the spiritual power generated by the heart to flow in Tiemu's "meridians and apertures"... and was eventually ejected? !
Li Bochen didn't care about anything else and said in a deep voice: "Do you have to use iron wood?"
Tao Chunxi said: "We just tried it. Ordinary wood can't withstand spiritual power and can't channel spiritual power. It should be because it is dead. But iron wood has strong spiritual power, but it seems to be alive."
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - if ordinary wood can be used, then Li Shengyi can also make it.
But as soon as this idea came up, he realized one thing - Tao Chunxi said that she had designed a formation to draw out the spiritual power in the heart. She is not a practitioner, but she can also teach some formations that ordinary people can use. It is not surprising that she can design them. However, this kind of thing will definitely not be accomplished in a day. Maybe she has already started working on it - she just mentioned "when she was in Linxi".
Thinking about it carefully, I was separated from them at that time and my whereabouts were unknown. Tao Chunxi was definitely not thinking about these things for herself today... Was she thinking about Li Shengyi? Was it because he originally wanted to dedicate this method to Li Shengyi so that her family could have a better settlement?
Li Bochen was stunned. This matter... she didn't talk about it today. She returned to Linxi and dedicated it to Li Shengyi. It would be a greater contribution than just an idea - with Tiemu, her idea would come true.
But she gave it to me now. Is it because I gave her the bead that was "related to Beichen's luck" before... Is she repaying it for this?
She couldn't bear to see me die.
Li Bochen felt his heart aching. Asking Tao Chunxi to send beads... Even though he told himself in his heart that nothing would go wrong and that it would make them live a better life in Linxi, he still knew that his behavior was a bit despicable.
Maybe it's not for yourself, but also for the people around you, or even for the so-called "general trend." However, at this time, Li Boxen only felt that the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart surged up again, and he wanted to tell Tao Chunxi the truth.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Fang Junfeng said: "Junhou, what do you think? Give us the knife to use - ask Master Zhou to get it out first, he knows the texture of wood best!"
Tao Chunxi also looked at him. Li Bochen saw the look in her eyes - her eyes were a little swollen, her eye sockets were still red, and her eyes were full of expectation and uneasiness.
Those words slowly fell back into my stomach. Li Bochen clenched his fist and said: "Okay."
He breathed out again softly: "But my sword is too evil and you can't take it. I will do it myself. Master Zhou - teach me how to do it."
