Chapter 681: . A crooked technology tree

Although the blood unicorn demon venerated and killed very miserably within the eastern sky, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. This tribe of unicorns is a monster race that is stronger than the previous Huanxiadie and Tianyuanfeng.
In the entire eastern sky, probably only the Kui Niu clan of Thunder Valley was better.
In addition to Bi Lei, the great sage of the monster race in the sixteenth state, there are also two little sages of the monster race in the fifteenth state in this tribe of unicorns.
The remaining Qilin, whose cultivation level is relatively low, suffered heavy casualties during the breakout process, but there are still some seedlings left behind, and can now recuperate within Chang'an City.
As far as Zhang Dongyun was concerned, he said that he was letting the other party guard the gate of Chang'an City, not necessarily guarding the Yanhuang boundary of Chang'an City.
Chang'an City on the outskirts of the Yanhuang Realm has many footholds. In addition to satellite cities, there are also many small worlds.
Most of these unicorns can be placed outside.
Speaking of it, if the operation was done properly and asked them to enter the city in batches, City Lord Zhang really considered whether to be a little darker and use them to trigger the guardian task and earn guardian experience points.
In the end, Chengzhu Zhang, who had gradually left the accumulation in the initial stage, cherished his feathers and did not do so.
Of course, he cherishes feathers, to a large extent, because he has already found several more suitable targets outside the Yanhuang realm.
Now the person under consideration is to pick one out of them, and then take it steadily.
The most important thing is to take the people inside...
While he was thinking about it, City Lord Zhang suddenly moved slightly in his heart.
His attention fell on the inner city of Chang'an City, where the Tiangong Temple was located.
Speaking of it, he hadn't paid attention to the progress of the Temple of Heaven for a while.
Of course, the reason for not paying attention is because everything is developing smoothly and there is no need for Zhang Chengzhu to correct it.
Chang'an City continued to expand, so more and more relevant talents emerged and were absorbed by Tiangong Palace.
With the passage of time, more and more people out of blue are better than blue, and newcomers continue to replace the old old people to a higher position.
This is not the result of the overwhelming power, but the natural rise and fall of those who can live.
Among them, there are naturally some discordant notes.
However, Chen Yu has always been the actual leader of Tiangongdian.
Under his control, the Tiangong Palace has never had any major disturbances, but has been steady and orderly, with rapid growth and improvement.
The output of Gongdian, like today, has penetrated into every corner of Chang'an City.
Including the far-away Wuming Realm, even began to be affected by the Tiangong Palace in Chang'an City, and new inventions and creations from the Tiangong Palace are constantly being introduced.
Zhang Dongyun had noticed before that there are a few places where the signs of the industrial revolution in the memory of his previous life have even vaguely appeared.
With a huge population, no matter how low the probability is, a considerable number of outstanding people may emerge. After the mind is not confined, and people's attention is not limited to practice and practice, it becomes possible to gradually develop in other directions.
There are huge accidental factors in this. To become inevitable, it takes a length of time that is difficult for ordinary people to predict.
Therefore, City Lord Zhang was secretly surprised by such changes in the Tiangong Temple under his administration.
However, a variety of possibilities are bursting backwards, and it is inevitable that there will be some crooked science and technology trees in some areas.
At the moment, a huge dispute broke out in the Tiangong Temple.
On the two sides of the dispute, one was Ma Kun, an old man from Tiangong Palace.
The other is a newcomer named Gu Chen who hasn't joined the Temple of Heaven for a long time.
Gu Chen is from Nanzhan Buzhou. He was a Mohist genius who accidentally discovered by Chen Yu, the deacon of the Tiangong Hall. He absorbed him into the Tiangong Hall and taught him.
Gu Chen, who switched to Mohist practice, soon showed amazing talent, made rapid progress, and contributed many inventions and ideas.
Ma Kun originally was very optimistic about this young man.
But recently, Ma Kun has discovered that the other party's imagination and creativity have gradually evolved from a wild horse to a wild horse.
Unlike Chen Yu and Ma Kun, most of Gu Chen's interests are not for ordinary people, but for practitioners.
There is nothing wrong with this originally.
There is no prohibition on related creations and inventions in the Tiangong Temple. Gu Chen likes to delve into this aspect. It is his personal freedom.
It's just that, gradually, Gu Chen's hobbies developed further, and instead of the original project, he gradually shifted to a pure theory.
Gu Chen began to imitate Chen Yu, with a vaguely new trend to create a new path on his own.
This is nothing at all.
Ma Kun is not so jealous of the virtuous.
However, with his in-depth understanding of Gu Chen's research, he slowly began to have an ominous premonition.
In a nutshell, Gu Chen's current research direction is puppetry.
However, he is not the one who spliced ​​various materials to make organ puppets and others.
Gu Chen's goal is to replace the real flesh and blood with all kinds of external materials, so as to achieve the same power as other schools of spiritual practice.
There are many materials in this world, rich in aura, and their attributes are different.
Practice on other roads, and refine yourself with aura.
The road Gu Chen envisioned was a direct and external treasure of heaven, material and earth, transformed into a part of his body, replacing flesh and blood, and constantly innovating within the scope of the spirit and soul.
In other words, live puppets.
This may have something to do with his original practice of the magic way.
In Gu Chen's conception, the practice of demon way, refining the demon blood into the body, is to use foreign objects for oneself.
Since demon blood can be used, why not other heavenly materials and earth treasures that are rich in aura?
The martial artist cultivates and strengthens his own qi and blood. Isn't he constantly transforming himself? After that, is it really the same as a mortal fetus?
Looking at the other party's diligent research, Zhang Dongyun also had to admit that this is indeed a rare talent.
With the backing of Invincible City and Tiangong Palace, Gu Chen steadily moved forward step by step, and was gradually successfully turning his ideas into reality.
However, soon a difficulty lay before his eyes.
This is also the focus of Ma Kun's dispute with him right now.
"How do you practice your ideas?"
Ma Kun stared at the other side: "If you want to make your idea come true, you need to keep practicing and making constant adjustments. Do you want to experiment with living people?"
The young man in front of him looked well-mannered, not like a cultivator of the magic way nor a practitioner of the Mohist school, on the contrary, he looked like a Confucian scholar.
This young man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar is just like the rising star of today's Gongdian, Gu Chen.
Facing Ma Kun’s doubts, he looked calmly:
First of all, it must take a lot of practice, and secondly, in Chang'an, of course, you must abide by His Majesty’s oracle.

Under Zhang Dongyun's Chang'an City, harm to the people is strictly prohibited.
It is one of the greatest taboos for practitioners to harm mortal people.
It's not just restricting the monster race or the practitioners of the magic path, it's the same for everyone.
Conversely, human cultivators are also not allowed to slaughter the little demons of all races.
If Gu Chen wanted to experiment with living people according to the customs of the year or outside Chang'an City, as long as he didn't show much fanfare, he would generally not cause trouble.
At best, like other magical practitioners, they act in secret and low-key.
But if he was outside Chang'an, his inventions would never have progressed so rapidly as they are now.
After all, his research also relied on many existing inventions of the Tiangong Temple, allowing him to directly use the ready-made ones.
There are many technical difficulties that he does not need to overcome by himself, and he is even less likely to have such convenient environmental conditions.
Therefore, Gu Chen is extremely satisfied with his current life, and he has no intention of leaving Chang'an to find another place to continue research.
"I practice on myself and don't have to trouble other people."
Gu Chen looked calm, looked at each other with Ma Kun, and said calmly.
When the others heard the words, they all took a breath.
Ma Kun's expression is still serious: "Whatever you do, do you want to go your own way?"
Gu Chen smiled slightly, did not answer, and turned to look at Chen Yu, who had never spoken next to him.
Chen Yu also looked a little serious, and looked at Gu Chen: "Where are you now? How are you going to do it?"
"Actually, I already have preliminary results. I just wait for the actual test." As Gu Chen said, he took out a small portrait from his arms.
Zhang Dongyun, who was sitting in the Daming Palace, looked at what Gu Chen was holding.
This portrait is not taller than a foot tall, the torso of the limbs is sharp and angular, the face has no facial features, and the joints are obvious. It looks like a rather crude puppet.
The special feature is that there is no string on the puppet, the legs are tightly together, and the long tips extend under the feet, which looks like a sharp awl.
In the Temple of Heaven, everyone looked at the puppet in Gu Chen's hand and was curious.
"I can feel that there is plenty of aura..." Ma Kun observed for a moment, and said slowly: "At least four materials are used: pure gold, primitive mulberry, mountain jade, and diamond core rock."
Gu Chen nodded: "Yes, with the addition of purple silver iron and ink scale gold, a total of six materials are added together."
Speaking of this, his tone is not without regret: "Actually, it is better to use the scales of the dragon family or the scorpion snake or the black sky snake, but they don't sell it themselves, and they can't force it, so I had to use ink scale gold instead."
This can be regarded as a major feature in Chang'an today.
The old saying goes well, the big demon is a treasure.
But if the demons surrendered to Chang'an City, then the human race could no longer make their minds casually.
To some extent, this greatly reduced the output and acquisition of some natural treasures in Chang'an City.
However, these great monsters surrendered to Chang'an, and naturally they also had to work for Chang'an.
Zhang Chengzhu always has a profit, and it is impossible to suffer a loss.
"Although it is replaced by ink scale gold, these six materials are also very rare."
Chen Yu commented: "In fact, few people can afford such materials."
Gu Chen replied: "In the future, it may be possible to reduce the cost, but this requires more research and practice."
Chen Yu stared at the sharp awl below the puppet: "Although I would like to see you give full play to your talents, but since I lead you down this path, I am responsible for it. You...really want to continue this. Practice it?"
