Chapter 237 Thoughts about the ship

Chapter 237 Thoughts about the ship

After Long Xuan threw the Bu Tian Dan into his mouth, he used the soul splitting method to do two things at once.

While refining the medicinal power of the Bu Tian Dan, he studied the recipe of the Soul Restoring Dan.

He tried it before, but he could not see the progress of the soul splitting method, so he could only put aside the research ship and study the Soul Restoring Dan that could repair the soul first.

Repairing the soul is the top priority, and the priority must be before building a big ship.

When the attention is highly focused, time always passes quickly, and two months have passed in a flash.

Hard work pays off. After his unremitting efforts, he finally worked out the recipe of the Soul Restoring Dan in the Soul Book House in two months.

There is no need to worry about the main material of the Soul Restoring Dan, even though the Soul Nurturing Wood is placed in the medicine garden and he did not bring it.

But he still has the leaves of the Soul Nurturing Wood on him. After all, this is the food for the Tianmeng Dragon Silkworm, and he always has some on him.

However, the main material is easy to solve, but the other materials are not. He now has none of the materials on the recipe except the main material.

The Soul Restoring Pill requires a full 7,000 spiritual medicines, among which there are countless rare spiritual medicines of astonishing value, and even a bunch of thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, which are extremely difficult to collect.

This time, he can no longer take shortcuts through the Third Young Master. He can only waste a lot of time and collect them bit by bit. He doesn't know how long it will take to collect them all.

In the following time, he sent his clones to collect materials for refining the Soul Restoring Pill everywhere, and began to study the technology of large ships.

Once the ship is large enough, it is no longer a spiritual weapon. It is a combination of spiritual weapons and formations, which is considered another kind of treasure.

Is it easy to combine the patterns of the weapon and the patterns of the formation? So not every force can build a large ship if they want to.

The technology of large ships is a technical job, and there are very few forces that master the technology of building large ships.

Long Xuan named his unborn large ship Shenlong.

He mastered the technology of using solar energy from the tomb of the empress, and he must arrange it for the Shenlong.

The materials for the Five Elements Reversal Array have been collected, and he also needs to arrange the Five Elements Reversal Array on the ship to further enhance the defense of the Shenlong.

Long Xuan is confident that he can solve the problem of the Shenlong's defense. The only thing that bothers him is the power of the ship. The power of a ship is the top priority.

There are many ways to increase the power of a ship in this world, such as hanging sails on the ship, and then using the array to create a strong hurricane, the speed of the ship is fast enough to exceed imagination.

You can also engrave the array on the bottom of the ship to reduce the weight of the hull, and even control the movement of seawater through the array, so that the seawater pushes the hull forward, and the speed of the ship is very fast.

Some spirit ships also have automatically rotating oars, which can sail quickly without manpower.

In this magical world, there are too many ways to provide power for the ship.

The only difficulty is that the surface area of ​​the hull is limited, and only one, or two or three arrays can be used to provide power for the ship.

Once too many arrays are engraved to provide speed for the ship, it will inevitably lead to insufficient space for the defense array, thereby reducing the defense of the ship.

The hull area is limited, and you can't have both. In the end, you can only choose one of the two, or evenly distribute it, resulting in mediocre attributes in all aspects of the ship.

Moreover, there are far more than two types of formations that need to exist on the ship, which requires the shipbuilder to carefully calculate the formations on the hull, and you can't carve any formation you want.

However, Long Xuan immediately decided that his Shenlong must have all the formations that provide power for the ship, and his Shenlong must become the first fast ship of the same level.

As for the problem of too many formations to carve, he doesn't need to consider it at all. Under the Eye of Heaven, he can carve as many formations as he wants, and his Shenlong can accommodate them all.

So Long Xuan doesn't need to rack his brains like other shipbuilders to think about how to layout the formation. He didn't have any lag, and it didn't take long for him to complete the sketch of the Shenlong.

Long Xuan held up the sketch of a large ship and smiled with satisfaction.

The appearance of the Shenlong has now been determined by him.

After all, his soul does not belong to this world, so the shape and structure of this ship are mostly based on the previous life, and there are even three huge propellers on the hull.

You should know that propellers are things from the previous life, and they do not exist in this world. This is undoubtedly a huge innovation for this world.

Since this world has the technology that can make the paddles slide by themselves, it is not difficult to make the propellers turn by referring to this technology, and the speed may even be faster than in the previous life.

He believes that the power provided by the propeller must be greater than the paddle power, so it is necessary to develop propeller technology.

If he did not really understand nuclear energy, he would have to research nuclear power, and then his ship would be even more terrifying.

In addition, he had a whim and designed a giant cannon for the Shenlong. In this sketch of the Shenlong, this giant cannon is extremely huge and very conspicuous, and it is amazing at a glance.

As a high-sea warship, how can the Shenlong work without a cannon? So Long Xuan had a lot of ideas and simply designed a giant cannon by himself.

He had seen the Lingshi cannons of the Dayin Dynasty, and the Long family had seized quite a few, so he understood the technology of Lingshi cannons.

But the power of Lingshi cannons was still a little small, so he decided to increase the size of Lingshi cannons without thinking, so large that they could only be fixed on the ship and could not be pushed by manpower.

The larger the cannon, the larger the shells needed, and the more powerful the explosion of the shells would naturally be. This was obvious.

Moreover, Long Xuan also plans to improve the technology of the spirit stone cannon.

For example, the spiritual stone cannon can only consume low-grade spiritual stones. In his opinion, the energy of low-grade spiritual stones is too small. What if it uses high-grade spiritual stones or the best spiritual stones?

As soon as this idea came up, Long Xuan couldn't wait to try it.

Using the best spiritual stones as cannonballs is definitely a genius's idea. No normal person would dare to spend money like this, so naturally this kind of technology would not exist in this world.

Of course Long Xuan was reluctant to use top-grade spiritual stones as cannonballs, but he could still afford to use high-grade spiritual stones as cannonballs. It would be nice to fire a few cannons on the sea occasionally. Just listen to the sound when you have nothing to do, and just treat it as a cannon.

But the level of top-quality spiritual stones must not be canceled. It can be used without it, but it cannot be left out.

If you encounter an invincible enemy, a giant cannon that uses top-quality spiritual stones as shells may work wonders.

Under such whimsical thinking, the largest cannon in the Gu world is about to be born, and there is no telling what kind of sensation his cannon will cause.

This is not over yet. Long Xuan also thought about whether he could use the gravity formation to press the Shenlong into the bottom of the water, so that it could undergo a second form change and transform into the form of a submarine, so that the Shenlong could travel underwater like a submarine. .

He doesn’t know if the concept of submarines exists in this world, but he thinks he can give it a try. This may be another great innovation in the shipbuilding industry. Long Xuan's eyes lit up.

Next, Long Xuan was refining the potency of the Heaven-Building Pill while studying the drawings of the Shenlong. At the same time, he asked Alchemy Rabbit and his clones to refine the pills frantically to accumulate resources for him to build the Shenlong and materials for refining the Soul-Reviving Pill.

The matter of refining the Soul Restoration Pill has to be ranked above the creation of the Divine Dragon, so Long Xuan has always prioritized collecting the materials for the Soul Restoration Pill.

As for the materials for making the three-legged golden toad, he had limited financial resources, so he could only put them away first.

Refining the three-legged golden toad requires 200,000 materials. After being modified by him, the Gu recipe must be far more than 200,000 materials. There are countless top-grade spiritual insects that need to be used. How can this be his current net worth? What can be easily tolerated can only be considered in the long term.

It's a coincidence that his current location is right on the sea, and there is a seaside city called Xinghai City nearby. It is the largest port in the Xuanyue Empire and the largest shipbuilding yard in the Xuanyue Empire. It is also connected to all major regions. It is the largest trading port for maritime trade, with countless large and small ships anchored here.

So once Long Xuan doesn't understand something, he can just go to the original world and copy those big ships, and then dismantle those big ships in the illusion. What technology can't he understand?

Therefore, his progress in studying the Shenlong blueprints was extremely fast. He did not have any delays in the whole process and completed it in one go.

Any problem can be easily solved by him. In the Soul Bookstore, he successfully researched the Shenlong blueprints in just four months.

Including giant cannon technology and propeller technology, he has successfully developed them.

Now as long as the materials are ready, he can start building the ship.

Long Xuan was very excited and wished he could go all out and build this big ship that was far ahead of the world.

At the same time, it took him half a year to finally successfully repair his qualifications. It was really a double happiness.

However, there were also bad things. In order to quickly collect soul-restoring pill materials and shipbuilding materials, he ordered his clones to go around selling pills.

Since the nearby Gu cultivators were basically concentrated in Xinghai City, the Yan clone simply rented a small shop in the city to do the elixir business.

However, this elixir shop has become very popular not long after it opened. Business is booming every day. There is an endless stream of people coming to buy elixirs, and the threshold is almost broken.

Because at the same price, the elixirs produced by Long Xuan are far more powerful than those of his peers. Those who have bought his elixirs will naturally only identify this one and become loyal repeat customers.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Even if Long Xuan opened his business without any publicity, after a period of word-of-mouth fermentation, it would be enough to make him famous.

Now everyone in the city knows that a very awesome alchemist has come to Xinghai City. His alchemy skills are the best in Xinghai City. He is praised as the best alchemist in Xinghai City by the majority of Gu cultivators. His alchemy skills are so superb that the entire Xinghai City No alchemist can match it.

Praise! This is definitely flattering! They are trying to kill me! After Long Xuan heard that he had become the number one alchemist in Xinghai City for no reason, his whole body went numb.

He also didn't expect that he, a mere second-grade alchemist, could directly win the title of the number one alchemist in Xinghai City.

This name is easily hated by his peers, and it is too attracting attention. He really doesn’t want it!

"Didn't I ask you to keep some training? How come I was in seclusion for just a few months and you dug such a big hole into me!"

In the World Tree Seed, Long Xuan immediately kicked the flame clone with a black face.

The flame clone also scratched his head and said blankly: "Have I withdrawn my strength? I really only used 30% of my strength. If I withdraw my strength any more, there will be a failure rate and a lot of materials will be wasted!"

Long Xuan was speechless...

"Forget it! Just be high-profile. It's not a life-threatening matter. How have you collected the materials for the Soul Resurrection Pill in the past four months? How much is left to do?" Long Xuan sighed helplessly, thinking of business, and asked again.

"I hung a list of the materials we need in the elixir shop, so those Gu cultivators who want to buy elixirs can only use the materials on the wall in exchange."

"It's really fast to collect materials this way. I've already collected about 778 materials for the Soul Restoration Pill."

“But it’s obviously impossible to collect the rarest materials without taking out higher-value elixirs.”

"Especially for those thousand-year-old elixirs, very few people are willing to trade them unless they come up with something that particularly appeals to them."

"Currently, there are only one hundred materials left for the Soul Restoration Pill. These one hundred materials are all the most valuable materials in the Soul Restoration Pill recipe. They are basically all millennium elixirs and are extremely difficult to collect."

"If you want to collect these one hundred kinds of materials, I'm afraid you need to participate in a high-level trade fair."

"And I found out that in half a month, Xinghai City will hold a trade fair for Gu cultivation in the marrow cleansing stage. The standards of this trade fair are extremely high."

"As far as I know, Xinghai City is the largest port in the Xuanyue Empire. Gu cultivators from different regions gather here. The business is extremely prosperous and the supplies are very complete."

"As long as what we bring out is attractive enough, we will be able to collect all the Soul Restoration Pill materials in this city."

"And all the rare materials needed to refine the Shenlong can be collected in this city, because this is the largest shipyard in the Xuanyue Empire. It all depends on whether you are willing to spend money."

"The fair in half a month will gather a large number of Gu cultivators from different regions. Those who are not rich and powerful cannot participate. This is completely our opportunity."

"But we need to prepare a large number of trading items that can be taken out. It is best for this trading item to be universal. It will be fatal to all marrow cleansing Gu cultivators."
