Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 410: Automated production, Earth Fire Node, increased power, joint action of 15 cities!
When it comes to industrial mass production of elixirs, Liu Mang immediately thinks of the advanced elixir furnace in Eternal Life that can automatically refine elixirs.

If he could refine that kind of alchemy furnace, the production of a series of large pills would obviously be able to be mass-produced directly.

However, he estimated that it would be much more difficult than setting up a production line and would require a lot of time, so it was not suitable for now.

The principle of refining the series of elixirs is very simple, which is to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, pour it into pills, and then seal it. It is that simple.

The real difficulty lies in making the pill into ten thousand layers.

Liu Mang estimated that there would not be many alchemists on the mainland who could refine this ten thousand layer elixir by themselves, and they were all alchemists of at least rank 8 or above.

Moreover, even if it can be refined, it will be extremely time-consuming, which is also a difficulty for industrial mass production.

However, this is not unsolvable. When Liu Mang was refining the elixir, he engraved the Soul-Locking Seal on ten thousand layers of the elixir at the same time. If it is industrialized production, it can be done layer by layer.

First make a core of the elixir, inject energy into it to carve the soul-locking seal, then spray a layer of elixir on the outside and continue to inject energy to carve the soul-locking seal. Repeat this ten thousand times and the effect will be similar.

Injecting the energy of heaven and earth does not require much effort. As long as the concentration of heaven and earth energy in the production environment reaches the standard of Fighter's Great Pill, what is produced is Fighter's Great Pill.

If you want to produce a Fighting Master Pill, all you need to do is raise the energy concentration to the standard of a Fighting Master Pill.

However, since there is no direct proportional relationship between the refining speed and the cultivation level, a Fighting Master cannot break through to the one-star realm with just a hundred Fighting Master Pills.

In order to be rigorous, Liu Mang refined a batch of Dou Shi Grand Pills, Grand Dou Shi Grand Pills and Dou Ling Grand Pills in the same way, and gave them to people with corresponding cultivation levels in the family for testing, and found that they were basically consistent with his guess.

Then the plan was decided, and Liu Mang began to build and refine the production line.

There is no need to say much about Liu Mang's technical ability. As the master of a civilization, he has mastered all the knowledge and technology of the former divine civilization. The mere production line of the Great Pill does not require any technology from the cosmic age.

The most complicated part of the production line is the machine that carves the Soul Locking Seal. It not only requires a small error, but also needs to be able to input energy while carving, and it needs to be stable, accurate, and fast.

The Doupo world is not a technological world. Many high-end scientific and technological technologies cannot be effective here, such as intelligent systems.

Even if Liu Mang rubbed out an intelligent core by hand, it was just a piece of exquisite board, completely unable to program and reflect intelligence.

He experimented for a few days and found that he had to use a purely mechanical structure, or use items and tools from the Dou Qi system.

Needless to say, pure machinery is not incapable of achieving production functions, but that requires the production line to be extremely complex and large, so Liu Mang chose to fight.

There is no need to ask whether there are spirit weapons in the world of Doupo. If elixirs can have intelligence, why can't weapons have intelligence?

Besides, even if he didn't have any, he could always catch some Warcraft souls as replacements.

As long as the machine is refined as a spiritual tool, and a soul that is not particularly stupid is integrated into it, and then restrictions are engraved, perfect intelligence will be directly produced.

And since it is necessary to integrate the soul, the control power and upper limit of the soul are far higher than the primary intelligence, so there is no need to build an assembly line with 10,000 workstations, but instead rely on one device to directly solve the production!
With Liu Mang's technical ability, it is very easy to make a purely mechanical creature that can move however he wants.

After eight days of hard work, a device that was three meters high, six meters long and four meters wide appeared in front of Liu Mang.

The appearance continues the smooth appearance that high-tech has always liked, like a large metal ingot.

But the internal structure is actually very complex, which enables a single machine to produce a series of Great Danes.

Nanostone was integrated into the machine, and Liu Mang opened up a mustard seed space, which made it extremely convenient for storing medicinal materials and ammunition in large quantities.

The soul among them came from a seventh-level monster he had killed before. He realized very early on that monster souls were also extremely valuable things, and he would collect them every time he hunted a monster.

He has already achieved the current limit of this device, which he named Great Dan 1.0. Some minor problems can be gradually improved in the future production process. Now is the time to try the effect.

Liu Mang stuffed the herbs into the herbs space, and slapped the Great Pill 1.0, and the fighting spirit and soul energy directly awakened it.

The spirit of the weapon immediately controlled the machine to start working, and the internal operations were as fast as lightning. In just one minute, the first batch of 100 Fighter Pills fell into the pill space.

Liu Mang stopped the machine and took out the produced Fighter Pill for observation.

At first glance, he found that this elixir was useless because it did not incorporate the energy of heaven and earth.

He slapped his head and thought, yes, he hadn’t even gathered the energy of heaven and earth!
This time, he first gathered the energy of heaven and earth to wrap the machine, allowing the energy concentration to reach the standard of a fighter's elixir, and then started the machine to produce a batch of pills.

Some of the 100 pills were qualified and some were not. After inspection, Liu Mang found that it was due to the different energy concentrations inside the machine.

In order to produce pills with energy levels that are neither too high nor too low, he must ensure that the energy concentration is equal in every place inside the machine.

When the Warcraft soul was trained into an artifact spirit, it had already lost the ability to actively control the energy of heaven and earth, and it was also required to control an extremely complex production process, so it would not work to put pressure on it.

So how can the energy of heaven and earth be balanced without his control?

The passively gathered energy is definitely uneven, with the concentration at the gathering center being higher than that at the periphery.

However, Liu Mang recalled the previous alchemy process and found a solution.

It turned out that when he was refining the elixir, he did not actively control the energy of heaven and earth, but the passively gathered energy of heaven and earth was always evenly distributed in the elixir furnace. As long as he did not actively control it, the energy of heaven and earth in the elixir furnace would remain consistent everywhere.

Through studying this phenomenon, Liu Mang discovered that as long as the object is made into the shape of a furnace, it will naturally have the effect of evenly distributing the energy of heaven and earth.

This made Liu Mang scratch his head. What kind of crappy rule was this? It was so specific and targeted. Did the Doupo world have such strange rules?

However, when he thought of the application of 10081 in the Devouring Star Universe, Liu Mang felt relieved. What's wrong with different worlds having some different and strange rules? That's the characteristic of the world!

So, less than an hour after Great Dane 1.0 was born, Great Dane 2.0 was born.

The 1.0, which was improved from the Great Dan 2.0, has undergone a major change in appearance. It used to be a metal ingot, but now it is completely in the shape of a Dan furnace, 9 meters high and 6 meters in diameter, much larger than before, but the core is still the same as 1.0.

Another batch of Fighter Pills were produced. Liu Mang took the pills and observed them first, then took another one. Soon, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It's done!"

He touched the exquisite furnace wall of the Great Dane 2.0 with a strange smile.

He thought again of the alchemy furnaces in Eternal Life that could automatically refine elixirs. Could it be that they worked on the same principle?
Throwing aside the guesses in his mind, Liu Mang began to solve the last problem of mass production - sufficient energy from heaven and earth.

The Great Pill 2.0 is unable to absorb the energy of heaven and earth on its own, and it is impossible for him to come and guard the furnace specifically to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth for alchemy.

In order to produce the corresponding level of Great Dane, the environmental energy concentration must reach the corresponding standard.

According to the demand of producing corresponding grade elixirs by Great Pill 2.0, Liu Mang temporarily divided the energy concentration of heaven and earth into 10 levels. Level 1 corresponds to the production of Fighter Great Pill, and Level 10 corresponds to the production of Fighter Great Pill.

At this time, the energy concentration of the environment in which Great Dane 2.0 is located is less than one thousandth of that of level 1.

The automatic energy gathering effect of the alchemy furnace allows it to absorb the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 10 meters, making the energy concentration inside reach a hundred times that of the external environment. Therefore, in order to meet the production of the lowest level of fighter's elixir, the energy concentration of the environment where the alchemy furnace is located must be increased by at least ten times.

And it must be continuous, and even after supplying the astonishing consumption of Great Dane 2.0, it will not reduce the environmental energy concentration.

Liu Mang had a headache. You know, Wutan City was a city that had been baptized by spiritual rain. The energy concentration of heaven and earth was much higher than other surrounding areas. And as the center of baptism, the Xiao family's energy concentration was the highest in Wutan City.

Even so, it only reaches one-tenth of the minimum requirements. You can imagine how high the requirements are.

"It seems that we have to find a special place, preferably one with underground fire," Liu Mang murmured.

There is no doubt that increasing the concentration of energy in heaven and earth can be achieved by deploying a large-scale Tianyuan Gathering Spirit Seal to achieve an effect similar to that of a gathering spirit array.

Although the Tianyuan Gathering Spirit Seal is not complicated, it is extremely difficult to make it bigger and stronger.

Even if he could refine an extra-large soul-gathering seal base to support the entire Wutan City, he could not guarantee that it would be able to meet the production needs of the Great Pill 2.0.

Moreover, even if it is refined and installed to meet production needs, how to maintain and maintain it is also a big problem.

If you want to gather spirits over a large area, you still have to use a large spirit gathering array!

The effect of the Spirit Gathering Array is not as strong as that of the Spirit Gathering Seal, but as a formation, it does not require a fixed base, and it will not become ineffective due to slight damage to the engraving. Compared to the Spirit Gathering Seal, the Spirit Gathering Array has great advantages in convenience, safety, range, etc., except for its relatively poor effect.

The true usage of the Spirit Gathering Seal should be used in a small area in conjunction with the Spirit Gathering Array.

However, whether it is the spirit gathering array or the large spirit gathering seal base, it cannot be solved in a short time.

After all, Liu Mang is just a Dou Huang and cannot change the world with a wave of his hand or create something out of nothing.

So, if we want to meet the production needs of Great Dane 2.0, we have to choose another way.

There are three kinds of spirit seals recorded in the Sanyuan Alchemy. In addition to the Tianyuan Gathering Spirit Seal and the Renyuan Locking Spirit Seal, there is also one called the Diyuan Hualing Seal.

This is the transformation seal that transforms the earth fire and the energy of heaven and earth into each other. In the Sanyuan Alchemy, it is used to adjust the intensity of the earth fire.

If you want a stronger fire, transform the energy of heaven and earth into earth fire. If you want a weaker fire, transform the earth fire into the energy of heaven and earth.

For the same imprint, as long as the direction of Dou Qi is reversed, the effect can also be reversed, which is convenient and quick.

However, the limit of adjustment is not very high, otherwise the author of Sanyuan Alchemy would not be just a 6th-grade alchemist.

This kind of European player will most likely succeed as long as there is a slight chance of success.

But he failed because he obviously couldn't reach the minimum requirement to refine a seventh-grade elixir. The limitation was the Earth Element Spirit Seal.

It has to be said that the author of this Sanyuan Alchemy Technique is a genius. Not only did he develop the Tianyuan Gathering Soul Seal based on the research on the Renyuan Locking Soul Seal and the knowledge of the Soul Gathering Array, he also developed the Diyuan Transforming Soul Seal. His understanding is truly amazing.

However, in terms of comprehension, the cheating Liu Mang is no inferior to others in his life!
It took him three days to transform the Earth Element Spirit Seal, greatly increasing its adjustment limit.

After all, he was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and his comprehension was indeed extremely high, so three days was more than enough. After completing the transformation of the Spiritual Seal, Liu Mang dug a hole directly from the back mountain of the Xiao family and went underground, looking for a gathering place of underground fire that could be used.

There are no volcanoes around Wutan City, so it is quite difficult to find underground fire, but it is definitely not non-existent.

As the depth increased, Liu Mang gradually came to an underground cavity.

There is magma everywhere and the smell of sulfur is everywhere, just like the abyss of hell.

The flowing magma formed a river, guiding Liu Mang's direction. As long as he searched upstream, he would definitely find its source.

The source of magma must be the place where underground fire gathers.

Sure enough, going upstream along the lava river, Liu Mang came to a bright red space.

A large magma pool appeared in front of Liu Mang, and in the center of the pool was a piece of unmelted land.

In the center of the land, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, nearly three meters in diameter, rushing over the top rocks and spreading out like a burning sky.

"A medium-sized underground fire node? That's enough." Liu Mang judged the level of this underground fire node based on the records and nodded with satisfaction.

This place is about 200 kilometers underground in Wutan City. This underground fire node is right below the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Once he opens up a new road connecting to the Xiao family’s back mountain, it will be more convenient to travel.

Maybe he could even dig a vertical hole upwards to make an elevator?

Liu Mang flew to the central land. The land was only about 10 meters in radius, just a platform, but it was no problem to put down the Great Pill 2.0.

The underground fire eye that sprayed vertically upwards in the center was also very much in line with Liu Mang's wishes. He placed his Great Pill 2.0 upwards, just enough to block the eruption of the underground fire.

The overall shape of the Great Dan 2.0 is a three-legged alchemy furnace, with an opening at the bottom that can be opened and closed.

In order to use the earth fire, Liu Mang sealed the opening with a spiritual net and carved the earth element spiritual seal on it.

The flame cannot pass through the spiritual net and enter the alchemy furnace. It will only be converted into energy of heaven and earth for the spirit to refine the elixir.

The cover, which originally served as a switch, can now be used as a regulating valve for the influx of earth fire. The more it is opened, the more earth fire will come into contact with the spiritual network, and the higher the concentration of heaven and earth energy in the furnace.

Naturally, the less it is opened, the less earth fire contacts the spiritual network, and the energy concentration inside the furnace is low.

Although it is only a medium-sized earth fire node, if it is fully powered, it can support the periodic refining of the Douling Pill.

That is to say, it takes 11 minutes to accumulate energy and 1 minute to refine the pill. 1 minute is the time required for the Great Pill 2.0 to refine a batch of 100 pills.

All the large pills below the Douling Pill can be refined continuously.

According to this data, 12 Douling Pills can be refined in 100 minutes, which means 24 pills in 12000 hours, and 438 million pills in a year!

According to Liu Mang's calculations, a Dou Ling only needs to refine about 1000 Dou Ling Pills to improve his cultivation by one star. Even if it is completely based on passive digestion, the required time is only 115 days. Of course, this is the case when practicing 24 hours a day.

Those who can cultivate to the level of Dou Ling are no ordinary people with ordinary talents. Their rate of refining energy is obviously much higher than that of ordinary people. They can actively use Dou Qi to speed up the digestion of pills without worrying about waste, and the time can be greatly shortened.

According to the current efficiency of the Great Pill 2.0, the Dou Ling Great Pills produced in a day are enough for the daily consumption of about 1000 Dou Ling. If health use is taken into consideration, the Xiao family can support more than 800 Dou Ling at the same time with this pill furnace alone!
Of course, these are all theoretical data. Even with the support of the earth's fire, it is impossible for the Great Pill to be produced continuously.

The energy of the underground fire does not come out of thin air. Excessive use will cause the underground fire nodes to be degraded or even cut off.

And most importantly, the underground fire nodes are an important factor in regulating the ground climate. Excessive use will cause an overall cooling of Wutan City and its surrounding areas, significantly changing the climate of Wutan City.

Therefore, use it in moderation.

However, even if it is restrained, it is more than enough to provide training for everyone in the Xiao family. Even if all 10,000 city defense troops are included, it is still more than enough.

It's just a pity that this ground fire node can't support the alchemy furnace to refine the Dou Wang pill. With the power of this ground fire node, it can't meet the requirements of refining the Dou Wang pill even if the fire is fully turned on.
Fortunately, the Xiao family does not have a Dou Wang yet.

The first thing to do, of course, is to refine the Dou Ling Pills used for high-level combat power. 12000 pills are produced a day, which is enough for the four Dou Lings at home, including his wife and the three elders.

After that, there are the Grand Fighter Pills. These can be refined continuously, a batch per minute, and 14.4 pills can be refined per day, which is enough for the four Grand Fighters at home and the four Grand Fighters of the city defense army to use as Dou Ling.

Then there is the Fighting Master’s Pill, which can be used by everyone after a few days of practice.

There are only Fighter Pills, and there are more than 14.4 Fighters. The number of Fighter Pills needed every day is to , but only Fighter Pills can be produced in a day, so continuous production is needed to fill the inventory.

The Fighting Master's Pills also need to be cross-produced to fill the inventory. After all, it won't take long for this batch of fighters to be upgraded to Fighting Masters.

These affairs were handled by Liu Mang's family. He opened up a vertical passage connecting the Xiao family's back mountain and this underground fire node, and built a Dou Qi version of an elevator. He asked the clan members to guard it every day and adjust production as needed, and take out the pills and put them into storage.

The Xiao family has now established a complete resource distribution system, and these pills will naturally be distributed to everyone.

As for the expenses of the city defense forces, they were sent to the warehouse of the city lord's mansion, where there were also special people responsible for distribution.

There are also people who work outside for the family business, and there are also people responsible for delivering resources to them.

At the same time, the Xiao family's business and power development also entered a new era. Ouyang Lie, who returned to Black Flame City, immediately began comprehensive strategic cooperation with the Xiao family in the name of the city lord. The Xiao family's development in the entire northeastern border of the empire entered the fast lane.

The 15 large cities in the Northeast are gradually moving closer to the Xiao family. Each city has the Xiao family's industries and mercenary groups. The caravans established by the Xiao family are also gradually becoming famous in the Northeast region.

Liu Mang felt that although his clansmen were making rapid progress in cultivation, they were limited by their understanding, their fighting skills were practiced slowly, and their actual combat capabilities could not keep up with their cultivation.

So, he worked hard and spent a month to research a fourth-grade elixir based on the second-grade Bingxin Pill and the third-grade Xingshen Pill. It was called Qiling Pill, which can greatly improve a person's comprehension, thinking ability, etc., while also strengthening the foundation, clearing the mind and purifying the spirit.

He spent a lot of materials and time to refine a large number of awakening spirit pills, which improved the comprehension of everyone in the Xiao family. With the distribution of a large number of high-level fighting skills, the strength of the Xiao family gradually increased and surpassed their peers in the empire.

A year has passed quickly. Because Ouyang Lie presented the Huangji Pill and the Pozong Pill to Jia Xingtian, he will go to the imperial capital today to serve as the prime minister of the empire.

The reason why it took a year to get the transfer order was because the previous prime minister had not retired yet. During this year, Jia Xingtian arranged for his grandson, the emperor, to handle the retirement matters of the previous prime minister.

Yesterday I heard that the former prime minister returned home due to illness, and today Ouyang Lie received an appointment to go to the imperial capital.

"My lord, when I go to the imperial capital this time, I, Ouyang Lie, will strive to obtain the greatest convenience for the Xiao family and safeguard the development of the Xiao family!" Ouyang Lie said solemnly with his hands clasped together.

Liu Mang pressed down his hand and said with a smile: "No need to do that, just take care of yourself. Here, this is the Dou Wang Great Pill I made myself, 10,000 pills, keep them well, there are enough for you to use until you reach Dou Huang and some left over."

Ouyang Lie was moved and put the 100 jade boxes into his ring, then left wiping his tears.

Liu Mang complained behind him: "Damn, he's so dramatic!"

A dozen people around him echoed: "My lord, you are right!"

Liu Mang turned to look at them with a business-like smile on his face.

These 14 people are the mayors of the 15 large cities in Northeast China. Except for the mayor of Guanshan City, which was ranked first among the 15 cities and was a Dou Wang, the other 13 people are Dou Ling.

This was the level of their cultivation that they had achieved after they joined Liu Mang. Before that, the Lord of Guanshan City was only an 8-star Dou Ling, and the others were either low-level Dou Ling or great Dou Masters.

They all agreed that the decision to join the Xiao family was wise and promising.

Because not only did they personally benefit from greatly increased cultivation and upgraded skills, but their families and autonomous cities also benefited greatly.

Not only have the cultivation resources become much richer, but the city's economy, culture, and population have also made great progress.

In the past, when mentioning their 15 northeastern cities, most people in the empire would say that they were barren and poor places.

And now, less than a year later, they have become upstarts in the eyes of most people in the empire.

The Xiao family's industries gradually expanded across the Northeast, bringing a great deal of wealth, vitality and vigor here, allowing the people here to live a rich, safe and stable life.

The 15 cities in Northeast China are gradually integrated under the cooperation of the Xiao family, and their development potential has greatly increased.

Everyone is grateful for the changes brought about by the Xiao family, and are grateful for the selflessness and dedication of Patriarch Xiao. They are willing to unite under Patriarch Xiao and contribute a little to the rise of the Northeast.

Of course, there are also people who are not united, such as several former city lords.

They died at the hands of their enemies, which is a huge loss for the 15 cities in Northeast China. Liu Mang pretended to sigh.

"Okay, we have finished watching City Lord Ouyang's handover ceremony. Everyone can go back. We will be busy next." Liu Mang waved his hand.

Everyone bowed respectfully and then left.

They all knew what they were going to do next, and they were all excited but also nervous.

The 15 cities in the northeast are not in the heart of the empire and are adjacent to the Monster Mountains. In addition, the barren land always gives rise to a large number of forces that make a living by looting, so the wild is not safe.

This is certainly not conducive to the flow of people and economy among the 15 cities, so Liu Mang proposed to build a highway connecting the 15 cities, and at the same time eliminate the surrounding bandits and monsters while building the road, laying the foundation for the subsequent economic take-off.

The Jia Ma Empire is not a country dominated by the official government. Outside the imperial capital, there exists the Yun Lan Sect, the largest evil force in the empire, which competes with the official government of the empire.

If the imperial capital is like this, you can imagine what it is like in other places.

Undoubtedly, this operation is a major test for the 15 cities in Northeast China. If they succeed, they will take off, but if they fail, they will crash to death. They have reason to be nervous.

At the same time, this joint action among 15 cities will also be the first opportunity for the Xiao family to flex its muscles after more than a year of development, and Liu Mang is looking forward to it.

A year has passed, and the Xiao family has changed beyond all recognition!
