Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 250 The Current Situation of the Undead Demiplane
"What are you doing—ouch!"

Huo Yuhao quickly covered his eyes with his hands and summoned the Ice Scorpion spirit at the same time, using ice to fight against the light and heat.

"Ahem, sorry, I just typed it out subconsciously."

Ye Guyi coughed lightly and quickly cancelled his first soul skill.

Although Ye Guyi had a basic level of trust in Huo Yuhao, he still couldn't help but take action when he saw Huo Yuhao create such an evil-looking thing.

"Okay, put away your martial spirit. The situation in this small space is very complicated. You just need to know that the situation in this small space is very complicated. At the same time, it has rich light and undead power. It is a very suitable place for you to practice."

Ye Guyi nodded and said, "You mean, you want me to kill the undead in there to improve my cultivation?"

"Ha~"

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "If you can do it."

"Oh, right, there are a few soul masters here who are helping me research soul guides. They were originally kidnapped by the evil soul masters and forced to join them. After being rescued by me, they volunteered to work for me. Don't be so impulsive and shine the Holy Light on them. They can't handle it."

"understood."

Ye Guyi waved his hand and stepped into the Gate of the Dead impatiently.

What comes into view is an endless black plain, with a strange purple light shining on the earth. Looking up, a huge purple sun hangs high in the sky, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

“It’s a really strange place.”

Ye Guyi took a deep breath, but was shuddered by the cold breath of the undead demiplane. Subconsciously, Ye Guyi tried to resonate with the light element in the air to warm his body.

"The light element is quite rich, but why can't I sense any soul power?"

However, this was not a problem for Ye Guyi at all. He was a holy angel with a high-level martial soul of light attribute, and could easily convert light elements into soul power. Although there was an extra conversion step, because the light elements in the undead demiplane were too rich, the overall efficiency was higher than most places in Douluo Continent.

While his soul power was saturated, Ye Guyi couldn't wait to run towards the outskirts of the principle building.

She vaguely felt the presence of undead creatures not far away, so let her purify the filth of the world!
"Holy light shines!"

Before anyone arrived, Ye Guyi had already shot a holy light towards the group of skeletons from afar.

They were just a group of the lowest-level skeletons. Ye Guyi was confident that his holy light could easily purify them, so he walked towards the distance without stopping.

According to her perception, the aura of the undead not far away was even stronger.

Just as she passed by the area swept by the holy light, the sudden appearance of the undead aura made Ye Guyi slam on the brakes.

what's happened?

In the area swept by the holy light, several skeletons looked at each other blankly, and then looked at Ye Guyi blankly, not understanding why someone would use light to attack the undead in the territory of the Holy God of the Dead.

"No, the skeletons here are all of light attribute, right?!"

Ye Guyi felt the light attribute in the skeleton, which was not much weaker than his own, and was dumbfounded.

His holy light hit an undead creature, but not only did it not cause any effective damage, it actually made the opponent's aura more active.

It was not until then that Ye Guyi realized what Huo Yuhao meant by "if you can do it".

It seems that my holy light is not able to purify these undead souls at all, so naturally I can't get any feedback...

What the hell is this place!
Ye Guyi kicked the skeleton in frustration, but this kick seemed to trigger a stress response in the skeleton, and the skeleton blocked Ye Guyi's attack with a parry.

Fortunately, the skeleton had received instructions from Huo Yuhao that it was forbidden to attack the living in the undead demiplane, so it did not fight back.

Only then did Huo Yuhao follow slowly.

"Well, now you have a general idea of ​​what this place is like. From now on, just live in the central area with peace of mind."

"There are some intelligent undead creatures further away. Although you can't purify them, you can learn martial arts from them. Remember not to kill them. After all, my orders to the dying undead won't work."

Ye Guyi angrily questioned Huo Yuhao: "What the hell is this place?"

"This is a small space that runs parallel to Douluo Continent. I accidentally gained control of this space. I don't know the rest, such as how this place was formed."

"In short, this is a very safe rear area. If I can't make it in Douluo Continent, I can still stay here and practice until I become a Titled Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo before leaving."

"Wait,"

Ye Guyi discovered the key point: "You are the only one who can open the passage here, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's right."

"Then if you die outside, how am I going to get out?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao’s face darkened: “Can you curse me something good?”

Ye Guyi kept asking, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Huo Yuhao was speechless and said, “Are you stupid? I’ve already told you the answer without giving you a direct answer.”

Ye Guyi said with a stern face: "I suddenly regret it, let me out."

"You came in and still want to leave?"

Huo Yuhao said coldly, "Now that you know this secret, there is no turning back."

"I'm just talking." Ye Guyi said with a sullen face.

"Better so."

"Okay, you can choose any building over there and move in at will, but I personally suggest that you find a room that is farther away from other people. If you have any questions, you can ask others, and then consider asking me in the end."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao stopped paying attention to Ye Guyi and went to the factory where Nana was.

Hearing the footsteps, Nana raised her eyes slightly, and saw that the person coming was Huo Yuhao. A smile appeared on her face: "Boss... Boss, you are here?"

"Well, let me check on the production line."

Nana has been in charge of the production of guns these days and is very familiar with the data. She naturally answered: "Boss, the gun production line is currently running stably. If the material supply is stable, we can produce nearly 100 guns a day. As for bullets, the manual labor is very small. The skeletons you found can do it. They have become very familiar with the steps these days and can produce more than 10,000 rounds a day."

Hearing this data, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, Huo Yuhao really lacked sufficient knowledge of military production. As a programmer in his previous life, he did not have much memory about firearms.

The current production line that was made with bare hands was slowly developed by Huo Yuhao based on a post he occasionally saw in a certain forum.

The general content of the post was how to provide enough guns and ammunition for our army if we traveled back to the Anti-Japanese War period.

One of the best answers included a flowchart for semi-manual mass production of rifles.

Thanks to this, Huo Yuhao managed to create a gun assembly line despite lacking sufficient engineering knowledge.

This gun is the Type 81 cavalry rifle, which is also jokingly called a rifle that can be produced by simply digging up Japanese railway tracks.

It is the best choice for Huo Yuhao who has limited skills.

If you aim to produce modern guns from the beginning, unless you are a specialist in this field, it is impossible to make one with your bare hands.

As for things like range, they cannot be forced. The effective range of the guns produced by Huo Yuhao's hand-made production line is only a little over 200 meters. It would take too much work to increase the accuracy, and Huo Yuhao does not have that much energy.

The materials were somewhat unexpected. Although he was not sure about the specific properties of those special steels, Huo Yuhao felt that the materials he picked out from the existing materials in Douluo Continent were sufficient. The actual barrel life could reach more than 8000 rounds, which completely exceeded the version made of ordinary rails. It was completely enough for Huo Yuhao.

As for its specific power, Huo Yuhao has tested it and found that at least a level five soul guide shield is needed to stop it, which means that the soul power barrier of an ordinary level five soul master cannot intercept it. The specific lethality varies according to the physique of different soul masters.

In short, when dealing with the five level five soul masters under his command, the Type 81 rifle can easily take their lives if it hits their vital points, but it cannot penetrate their bones.

Most of the top armies on Douluo Continent are composed of fourth-level soul masters, also known as soul masters, and the Type 81 cavalry rifle is powerful enough to be a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

"That's right, boss,"

Nana suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao awkwardly, "During this period of time, I have summarized the principles of these guns and have some ideas on how to increase their power. Boss, can you give me some suggestions?"

As she spoke, Nana took out a blueprint and handed it to Huo Yuhao. On it were some of Nana's ideas about guns, such as expanding the caliber, increasing the amount of gunpowder to increase power, and so on.

"Tsk, that's quite an idea."

Speaking of which, ever since Huo Yuhao asked several soul masters among the saints to help tinker with these production lines, Nana, perhaps out of the idea of ​​repaying the favor, or perhaps because she had developed a great interest in these machines, took the initiative to ask for help.

Now it seems that Nana has more understanding of these metals than those soul masters.

Seeing Nana's joyful expression, Huo Yuhao sighed. He knew that he couldn't give her too many ideas. After thinking for a while, he belittled her and said, "But your imagination is still too restrained. Why do you only think of relying on the collision of projectiles to cause damage? Take the fixed-type soul guide shells for example. In addition to being used to launch attacks, gunpowder can also cause damage. Why do you have to hold it? Take the fixed-type soul guide cannons for example. Just build a launch platform and launch a powerful attack..."

Seeing that Nana seemed interested in this aspect, Huo Yuhao mentioned all the development directions of thermal weapons in his memory.

"Is this still possible?"

Nana was shocked by the idea proposed by Huo Yuhao. She thought she had already mastered this kind of weapon, but she didn't expect that she was just getting started.

"But don't be too hasty. Take it one step at a time, especially for high-powered artillery weapons. First try firing with metal ammunition of the same mass, then consider replacing it with explosive bombs. Put your own safety first. After all, you are the only ones I can use."

Nana said seriously: "Yes."

"By the way, after a few months, has anyone of you made a breakthrough? Then I will take you to hunt for spirit rings."

Nana was stunned for a moment, then said, "Boss, we have been familiarizing ourselves with the production line during this period, and our cultivation has fallen behind. It may take some time for us to break through."

"Okay, let's go soul hunting together when the time comes. After all, I'm still an exchange student and can't go out too often."

"clear."

——Cutting line——

Everything developed according to the established trajectory. In the second year of being an exchange student, Huo Yuhao focused on the production of battle armor and also completed the first draft of the design of the soul guide.

"咚咚-"

"Please come in."

Looking at Huo Yuhao who pushed the door open, Xuan Ziwen frowned.

Although Xuan Ziwen had already agreed to join Huo Yuhao's forces, he was still a researcher at Mingde Hall after all. It was not a good idea for Huo Yuhao to come to his dormitory to find him so privately, as it would easily attract the attention of the hall master.

With a sigh, Xuan Ziwen accepted the fact: "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

"Teacher Xuan, please take a look at my drawing."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out the design drawing of his own helmet.

After taking the blueprint and looking at the complicated design on it, Xuan Ziwen's first feeling was a headache.

Although Xuan Ziwen is an eighth-level soul guide, he couldn't help feeling dizzy when facing the high-level soul guide array that he had little exposure to.

After calming himself down, Xuan Ziwen realized that he had to be more serious this time, so he began to look at the drawings carefully.

"Soul Guidance Shield... or a variant? This pattern seems to be related to mental power? Is it a soul guidance shield with spiritual attributes?"

"Is this some kind of amplification core array? These patterns... consume vitality? Why does the structure look a bit like the Chapter of Sacrifice (the seventh-level soul guide used by Ma Rulong to drive the Sword of Judgment in the Soul Master Competition)? But not as overbearing?"

"There is also this? This is a pattern I've never seen before. Some kind of transformation array? The entrance is soul power lines, and the exit is mental power lines. Could it be that this is the core array that converts soul power into mental power?"

"And here, how is it related to Qi and blood?"

Xuan Ziwen silently analyzed the patterns on the drawing, and became more and more confused.

Putting aside those core magic arrays that he had never seen before, Xuan Ziwen felt that there were big problems with the core magic arrays that he recognized.

Generally speaking, the design of soul guides is very simple.

For example, defensive soul guides are all designed for defense. Generally, there is a soul power conversion array, and then some improvements are made to the converted content according to needs. More advanced ones will also add soul power storage arrays and trigger arrays. Everything is for the defensive soul guide to ensure the user's life safety in most cases.

However, the function of Huo Yuhao's blueprint was not strongly related, and Xuan Ziwen did not understand what this thing was designed to be used for for a moment.

Xuan Ziwen smacked his lips and said, "Did you design this blueprint? What is the purpose of the design?"

"Teacher Xuan, you also know that soul guides are tools that belong to soul masters. In this case, there are melee soul guides for melee weapons, long-range soul guides for long-range weapons, and defensive soul guides for shields. Why can't we design a permanent combat armor for soul masters that can increase their combat power, just like designing armor?..."
