The Emperor is Above

Chapter 440 Research Direction of War Puppet
Fortunately, Qing Yi is more familiar with Jiang Gongfu and Lu Wangzhi.

If a stranger came in at this moment, he would definitely be scared by their appearance.

The two young men who were so handsome and elegant when they were studying at the Imperial College in the upper city of the capital are now covered with dust, and their eyebrows and hair have almost turned white.

The other fifteen students who followed in the practical class were no exception. Except for their eyes which were clean and clear, every part of their faces was covered with dust.

Because they were overly focused on the machinery, Qing Yi suddenly pushed the door open and scared them. They were relieved to see that it was the lord.

"Hehe, please forgive me, doctor!"

Jiang Gongfu and Lu Wangzhi hurriedly pulled at their lapels, trying to wipe the dust off their hands and faces, but they forgot that there was even more dust on their lapels.

In their anxiety, sweat dripped down their foreheads, turning their faces into clowns. Their miserable appearance made the fifteen students cover their mouths and laugh.

"Condensation——"

Qing Yi also smiled helplessly and shook his head.

With a slight wave of his hands, he used his mental power to control all the dust in the room, condensing it all into a ball. The wooden barrel containing sundries was completely filled up, and the choking room immediately became exceptionally clean.

Feeling all of this carefully, Qing Yi discovered that his ability to control objects with his spiritual power had become much stronger. He didn't know what effect this magical power had before, but now it seems to be very good for cleaning.

"Thank you, Doctor. I look much fresher now!"

Jiang Gongfu had an embarrassed smile on his face, "Since arriving at Longcheng Fengtu, tens of thousands of people, regardless of gender, age or status, have been working diligently.

Building the Longcheng fortress, spring plowing, women weaving, the elderly and the weak planting grass, children going to school, and the young and strong people not only guarding the fortress but also taking on the important task of digging mountain roads.

We, the classmates, have received great favors from the senior doctor, but apart from teaching in the school, we have not made any contribution at all. Although we don't say it, we are actually very ashamed in our hearts.

After discussing with Mr. Yang Hu and Mr. Kui Wendou, Lü Wangzhi and I decided to take the lead in developing a tool that can quickly dig rocks, so as to reduce the labor of road construction and contribute to the construction of the burial mound. "

Qing Yi welcomed this mentality of the imperial students, as it represented that they, who came from vassal families, recognized the fiefdom of Longcheng in their hearts.

With a slight smile, Qing Yi curiously walked around the drilling machine that was more than a meter tall. "How did you get to this point in making the stone drill? The development speed is quite fast!"

"Shang Dafu also knows that I studied mechanical engineering at the Imperial College!" Jiang Gongfu showed a confident smile, "In fact, in my eyes, there is not much difference between an armored vehicle and a rock drill.

There are only two key points for this machine, one is the drill bit, and the other is the power. Now the power system can use the central formation of the armored vehicle, and the drill bit problem has also been solved by the doctor in time. "

"Huh? When did I help you solve the drill problem?" Qing Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Lu Wangzhi took over the conversation and explained with a smile: "Did the senior doctor forget the two five-color copper mines and the red copper mine near the burial mound? These two kinds of refining materials, after smelting, are very effective as drill bits.

These two materials are not particularly hard in themselves, but they are very good materials for refining weapons. Let Ying Feizi's group of weapon refiners refine them first, and then the rune masters can engrave the corresponding rune formations to increase the hardness, which will be more than enough for chiseling rocks."

"So that's how it is. A small drill bit is the result of the hard work of weapon refiners, talisman masters, and mechanical engineers!" Qing Yi was even more grateful that he had brought so many imperial students from the capital. The originally ordinary weapon refining materials quickly turned into all kinds of magical things in their hands.

If there were more guidance, it might be more conducive to the research of the Imperial College students and help them avoid some detours. So Qing Yi deliberately gave some inspiration:

"The idea of ​​this rock excavator is indeed good, but the rocks mined by the rock excavator are all broken stones. I think it is also possible to make a rock cutting machine.

In the process of road construction, the rocks that block the road can be cut off piece by piece and used as building materials for paving roads, building houses and canals.

As Qing Yi spoke, he took a leather scroll from the workbench and started writing and drawing on it, telling the two young men about his various creative ideas.

"Yes, why didn't we think of this? The doctor has more ideas!" Lu Wangzhi and Jiang Gongfu gestured to each other with surprise.
"We only need to modify the structure in a few places. If we replace this with a rune-reinforced cutting blade, we can directly cut off large pieces of stone."

"I think the excavator your Lordship came up with is great. It can directly dig up the soil and gravel on many collapsed road sections. This way, we only need..."

The two students quickly fell into absorbed study, but the dozen or so apprentices in the practical class did not show any surprise, apparently they were already used to this scene.

"Oh, what a bunch of tech geeks! Don't turn into engineering dogs!" Qing Yi shook his head with both relief and helplessness, and walked out of the room.

Fortunately, the environment on the fifth floor where Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu and Kui Wendou were located was not bad. More than 20 imperial students and puppeteers gathered here, and they were still debating the research direction of war puppets.

“The old-style giant beast puppets look very powerful, but in fact they only use the power of rune formations to make the giant beast’s skeleton move.

If it is used to attack ordinary troops and chariots, it still has some power, but using catapults and crossbows as a means of attack is a bit ridiculous.

And their shortcomings are also very obvious. The rune formation that drives the giant beast puppets is exposed outside the skeleton and is very easy to be destroyed by the enemy. "

As soon as he arrived at the door of this room, Qing Yi heard Yang Hu's sonorous and powerful voice, which was full of firmness, confidence and irrefutable will.
“Since the Lord has entrusted us to develop a new war puppet, I think we need to learn from the old war puppets and absorb the useful essence, and we must not blindly imitate them.

The reason why war puppets have unlimited prospects is that they only require a ninth-grade talisman master to control them, and more importantly, their number can be increased infinitely.

As long as the school in the Dragon City Fengtu can continuously train new talisman masters and the Fengtu can continuously produce new war puppets, it will be an endless army.

Their battlefield is to fight against large-scale clustered enemies, rather than to compete with a small number of elite strongmen, and the Battle of Yanze proved this.

From this point of view, there are only two complete skeletons of the ancient behemoth, and the giant rhinoceros skeleton is very easy to destroy. It is a dead end to hope to use the skeleton of the behemoth to make a powerful war puppet.

I think the best way is to use refining materials to make war puppets, such as five-color copper, red copper, or even geomagnetic iron!"

Facing Yang Hu's denial, the room was silent for a moment, and then Kui Wendou said in a distressed tone: "Yang Hu, what you said does make sense, we have also considered the dog before.

How could we, who were born in the Imperial Academy, not know that using these refining materials to make war puppets would be more powerful? We also experimented with it at the beginning.

But the cost is too high. Now the Lord has found two mineral deposits in the fiefdom, but the current mining volume is simply not enough to support the production of war puppets!"
