Chapter 344: Wan Jianshan
wants to talk about the Weapon Refining Academy, and Bai Yu is here for the first time.
With Mu Yaoxi leading the way, the journey was smooth.
Mu Yaoxi's brother Mu Feng is the vice-president of the Weapon Refining Society. In addition, the Weapon Refining Academy and the Martial Arts Academy have always been on the same side, so many students will be confused when they see Bai Yu. He nodded with a smile to show his goodwill, which made him only nod in return in an Ultra style.
As I walked along, I felt like I was about to turn into light.
"Now you are a big celebrity in the college. Even if you don't take the initiative to become famous, there are still people who will help." Mu Yaoxi teased: "I don't know how many senior sisters are willing to give birth to monkeys for you." Bai Yu jumped
directly After passing this topic, he asked: "This is my first time coming to the Weapon Refining Academy. What are the responsibilities and functions here?" "
Forging, design, and assembly." Mu Yaoxi spoke concisely and to the point.
"I can understand forging, but what about design and assembly?"
"Do you know the Tiangong Division?"
"Of course you do, one of the ten divisions of Great Xia." Bai Yu glanced at Qin Xuezha, and changed after clearing the copy The body used by Qin Xuezhao before destiny was that of Yan Ou. The wandering spirit day and night and the impermanence of black and white were all creations of the Tiangong Division.
Of course, Tiangongsi's achievements are far more than that. It has more internal subdivisions. Large design institutes are responsible for the design and construction of many large-scale projects, and Tiangongsi's core factory has the only Yandu manufacturing technology in the world. Its origin can be traced back to the Mohists in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has been improved through many generations.
"The weapons refining academy also overlaps with the functions of the Tiangong Department?" Bai Yu was slightly surprised.
"There are also professional subdivisions in the Weapon Refining Academy. They can basically be divided into two types. One is the blacksmith who refines and uses weapons, and the other is the sky craftsman who is responsible for designing and synthesizing large-scale mechanical equipment. In the Weapon Refining Academy, More than 70% of the students are Celestial Craftsmen rather than blacksmiths." Mu Yaoxi said: "In fact, in the Weapon Refining Academy, the Celestial Craftsmen Society and the Weapon Refining Society are in a dual state." "The Celestial Craftsmen are responsible for
production A profession, right?" Bai Yu was puzzled: "Obviously most of the people who enter Penglai Academy are extraordinary people, why would they choose heavenly craftsmen?" "
Because of talent." Mu Yaoxi shook her head and said, "Celestial craftsmen from the weapon refining school in Penglai Academy Most craftsmen are engaged in production occupations. Like Danshi, the assessment method is different from the college entrance examination we have experienced. In other words... they are all students with special talents." "The foundation of a country still lies in production and development.
If there is not To cope with the need to fight against the shadow world and the subsidence zone, perhaps there will be more extraordinary beings engaged in production." "
If the shadow world and the subsidence zone disappear one day, then the number of extraordinary beings who are only good at fighting will also increase. Cut it down."
Qin Xuezhao nodded in agreement: "Without enemies, there is no need for swords." "
But this may not be a good thing." Bai Yu sighed.
The two women asked strangely: "Why?"
"There is a bottleneck period in development, and there is also an upper limit. Technology explosion does not happen overnight, and new growth points are not easy to find... Although the existence of the shadow world brings danger, it also means Opportunities, at the same time, it is also depleting the population, and the positions vacated by the depleted population will be filled by latecomers. This is also a kind of class flow." "But if the number of extraordinary people engaged in production becomes too large, but the
corresponding However, consumer demand has decreased, which will only further promote the involution of the market."
Bai Yu is very aware of the limitations of economic development.
Especially since there are no exports in this world, only domestic demand.
If it cannot expand production and absorb the world's wealth through exports to expand its own economy, then there must be an upper limit to its development.
When the time comes, there will be no shadow world to consume the population and provide opportunities. In addition, most extraordinary people have relatively long lifespans, and the entire society will inevitably fall into a state of stagnation. How can extraordinary people who have no channels and ways to rise can be honest? Stay on the ground floor.
Although the Shadow World is a disaster, it also forces the evolution of human civilization.
Because the most important way to deal with the shadow world is to rely on extraordinary people to fill it with their lives, it is destined that the number of producers will not be too many, which further forces a small number of producers to start improving production methods and greatly improving efficiency, thus forming A whole new system with the ability to change itself.
This is Bai Yu's guess. This is the macro guess, but there must be certain errors in the details. After all, Daxia has a long history, and it is obviously inappropriate to rely on the past.
But the reason why it can maintain overall social stability for a long time is inseparable from the screening mechanism of the Shadow World.
Fighting with heaven and fighting with people are destined to be different.
Of course, this idea is a bit deviant in this world. Others may not think this idea. Most people hate the existence of the shadow world and think that the world would be worse without it. good.
"Let's not care about the matter of the sky craftsman for now, what is a blacksmith?" Bai Yu didn't plan to go to the design institute to draw pictures, so he directly changed the topic. In his previous life, he had a charming college classmate who was already extremely smart after entering the design institute for only three years. , even more haggard than programmers and siege lions.
"The blacksmith is like my brother, who is responsible for making special weapons." Mu Yaoxi changed the topic without hesitation: "The Mu family used to be blacksmiths. Even after they became soldiers, they never forgot this craft. The most important thing in an army is 'soldiers and armor', and blacksmiths are the ones who make weapons." "Ca n't
this be made in a factory?" "
Ordinary weapons are not suitable for extraordinary people. Once you reach the realm of extraordinary people, ordinary weapons are almost useless. It’s bad, just like the Rock Army’s Rock Gun has twenty-seven forging processes, and it takes fourteen days to successfully forge it.” Mu Yaoxi recalled what happened when she was a child, and couldn’t help laughing: "When I was a kid, my family asked my children to draw lots. What Mu Feng caught was a hammer, which laid the foundation for him to be a blacksmith in his life. It also gave him enough energy to deal with coal and fires all day long. You It seems that he is a hammer wielder now."
Bai Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked: "Does he know X hidden weapons?"
Mu Yuanxi also narrowed his eyes: "What you said is too vicious."
Entering the weapon refining Club, this place looks like a large gym. A group of brothers are lifting irons, looking at the muscles on their bodies with affectionate eyes.
A surge of male hormones...and they were still attracted to each other.
Excessive exercise attracts people of the same sex. You can hardly find a girl wherever you look.
"Ninety-nine percent of the Weapon Refining Club are men." Mu Yaoxi pointed it out: "The remaining one percent are field staff and managers."
Bai Yu sighed: "You should treat me to a massage."
" ?"
"If I hadn't dragged you into the Qianchen Club, you would have spent all day in the gym lifting irons and finally turned into a muscular Diao Chan."
Mu Yaoxi's scalp suddenly went numb.
She didn't dare to think about this scene, so she hurriedly came to the counter and knocked on the table: "Where is the person?" A young man holding a jar of protein powder behind the door walked to the counter: "Here, Miss Mu, what do you want? Yes. Did you bring someone to apply for the card?"
Mu Yaoxi tightened her fist and said, "Since when did the Artifact Refining Club have this kind of business?"
The young man said weakly: "In order to generate income, the body shaping effect here is quite good. Everyone is professional in body training and knows the structure of the human body very well. Many girls from other hospitals will secretly come here to look at the muscles. I recommend you to apply for a card. Make a fortune to subsidize the club."
"Then why didn't you see the girl?" Mu Yaoxi raised an eyebrow.
"Because they just like to watch it, and they watch it for free." The young man sighed.
"The spirit of free prostitution is the same for both men and women." Bai Yu is a professional, so no matter how funny it is, he won't laugh.
Mu Yaoxi put her hand on her forehead and got straight to the point: "Where is Mu Feng? Call him out!" "The
vice president went to Wanjian Mountain today."
"What did he go to Wanjian Mountain for? To practice Wanjian Penetration Heart?"
"That's not the case, the vice president is heartless."
"Let's get down to business!"
"Wanjian Mountain opens once a month. You have to go in and take people out, otherwise you may die in there." The young man replied : "The purpose of entering Wanjian Mountain is to choose a sword. The weapons made by countless blacksmiths and mentors in the past, as well as the swords of swordsmen of all dynasties, are all left in the mountain, so it is called Wanjian Mountain." "When you are born in Wusheng Pavilion, you will die
. Return to Wanjian Mountain... Weapons return to Wanjian Mountain after death, which is a beautiful posthumous title for swordsmen." "
If students want to enter Wanjian Mountain, they need to pay one thousand credits, and if they want to leave, they must choose a sword. , but also to be selected by the sword."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "One thousand credits, why don't you go and grab it."
The members of the Refining Club asked strangely: "Isn't this better than grabbing? Others are still asking us to collect credits. ."
One thousand credits are given once, so there are not many students entering Wanjian Mountain every month, and there is basically no competition.
The Weapon Refining Society actually earns credits through the customized services of Wanjian Mountain and Weapon Mechanism. It can be said to be the second richest after Danding Academy.
Pills are consumables, but a good weapon can be used for a long time. It is impossible to replace weapons at will.
Although they are incomparable in terms of quantity, the credits obtained from selling a weapon are higher than the profits from elixirs.
Bai Yu asked again: "Is the sword you have here guaranteed to be cooked?"
"No." The young man spread his hands and said, "Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability. A stupid person cannot blame the society, and a weak person cannot blame the sword for not having good eyesight."
"But if you can collect a thousand credits, even if you can't get the top-notch ancient sword, you can still get an inferior weapon, right?" "
Each student can stay in Wanjian Mountain for a month at most. If they haven't come out for more than a month, someone will go in and take them out." "
Usually the president doesn't have time, so the vice president leads the team to search for people. There can't be delays, otherwise people who were brought in a month ago may have to wait a month later. Only then can we bury them."
"Today is the day when Wan Jianshan's relatives are here, and their tempers are not so bad, so it is also the day when the sword energy is at its weakest, and it is the best time to go in and get people." After explaining, the young man pointed to the side: "From this
fan Go out and walk two miles to the entrance of the Jianzhu Forest in Wanjian Mountain. Just wait there."
After saying that, he continued to prepare the protein powder, took out the scales and weights and began to weigh accurately.
Bai Yu said: "This is not like the Weapon Refining Club, it's like the Blade Tooth Club."
"It's not divided into families. To make iron, you need to be strong yourself." Mu Yaoxi explained forcefully. After finishing it, she felt that it didn't make sense, so she could only say : "Most of the iron-smiths are peripheral members. They are swordsmen. There are less than thirty real blacksmiths and they usually don't hang out here." "
Swordsmen." Bai Yu thought thoughtfully.
"Aren't you very good at swordsmanship?" Mu Yaoxi suddenly thought: "You knocked down that extraordinary third-level black dragon bloodline with one move." "Black dragons don't count as dragons." "Don't they count?" "Can't use the
full
range
. A winning posture is nothing like a black dragon." Bai Yu was speechless.
Entering through the back door, it is extremely narrow at first and only then can people enter.
After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.
Suddenly I came across a sword and bamboo forest. There were no miscellaneous trees in it, the grass was delicious and the fallen flowers were colorful.
A towering mountain appeared in sight with a few clouds and mist, and at the end of the bamboo forest there was a stone gate. Two stone statues of the gatekeepers were holding heavy swords and their weapons were intertwined.
There were more than a dozen figures in front of the door like ants on a hot pot.
"What's going on?" Mu Yaoxi pulled a person from the back row forward with a king's pull.
The other party was grabbed by the back of the neck and was about to turn around to speak. When he saw it was Mu Yaoxi, his face burst into laughter: "Sister Mu!" "
Who are you calling eldest sister!"
"Miss Murong, Miss Murong... there is someone from outside the door. Fuso's swordsmen are blocking our way in, and we are also having a headache."
