Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 406: The birth of Tiangong Wanliji, entering the era of lake networking

The days back in Wanhua Valley were dull and uninteresting.

Teaching every day and enjoying flowers every night.

Even though the Valley of Flowers is quiet, elegant and beautiful, it would still be boring if you looked at it for several months in a row.

Lu Ping felt that the biggest reason was that he had fewer friends with whom he could chat and play.

When they were in Southern Wulin before, they, the people in Jianghu Wanshiwu, were all brothers and sisters of similar age and temperament. Moreover, there were many of them, so they would make some noise every now and then, and it would never be boring.

But now?

They either face "students" who come to study or old men who are much older than themselves.

Although there are two people of the same age, Zhao Hanya and Chen Yue, they are too quiet and lack vitality.

After all, most of the disciples in Wanhua Valley have such temperament.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Wanhua Valley took big action.

……

Early winter, Chang'an City.

This day was Dongfang Yuxuan's birthday. Taking advantage of this auspicious day, he brought Lu Ping, Seng and his party to Chang'an and held a "Wanhua Valley Press Conference".

"The purpose of this press conference held by Wanhua Valley is to launch a brand new technology that can connect the entire Tang Dynasty world. It is a cross-era product that can bring people closer together and realize the transmission of messages over thousands of miles. Its name is—"

"Heavenly Machine!"

In the past year, although there were constant disturbances in the martial arts world, these disturbances did not spread to the Wanhua Valley.

Because of this peace, the monk Wanhua Gongsheng and his entourage were able to devote themselves fully to the research and development of the "transmitter".

Finally, after a whole year of research and development, the 'communication machine' that was originally only usable in Wanhua Valley has evolved into a 'Tiangong Wanli Machine' that can be used throughout the entire Jianghu.

'Tiangong Wanli Machine' is similar to the previous 'Wanhua Communication Machine', both of which have 'one machine and one code', and have four functions: single-person chat, multi-person group chat, real-time voice call, and Jianghu push bar.

It's just that its signal transmission range is wider.

It is no longer limited to use in Wanhua Valley, but can be expanded to the entire Datang with the help of signal base stations.

Dongfang Yuxuan held this press conference for two purposes. One was to announce this surprising achievement to the whole world, and the other was to conduct a small-scale internal test of the product "Tiangong Wanliji".

To this end, in addition to sending a batch of "Tiangong Wanli Machines" to various sects, he also decided to select 1000 lucky people from the people participating in the press conference and give each of them a "Tiangong Wanli Machine".

All in all, this first version of 'Tiangong Wanliji' will have about 1500 users.

"...This 'Heavenly Machine' will undoubtedly connect all the people in the entire Jianghu, so I plan to call the next era the 'Lake Network' era!!"

On the stage, Dongfang Yuxuan was giving a passionate speech, saying things like "Ten thousand flowers leading the new era" as soon as he opened his mouth.

Below, a group of people from the martial arts world who came to participate in the press conference listened attentively, with shock in their eyes and excitement in their hearts.

“…Has the era of lake networking finally arrived?”

Considering the significance of the function of 'Tiangong Wanliji' to this era and the martial arts world, Lu Ping felt that Dongfang Yuxuan's words of 'leading the era' were not too arrogant.

As one of the Eight Saints of Flowers, Lu Ping is naturally also an internal test user of the Tiangong Wanli Machine.

Not only that, he was also one of the earliest users because he was one of the developers of this product.

After all, if one wants the signal range of the 'Tiangong Wanliji' to cover the entire Tang Dynasty, a large number of signal base stations will be needed. However, relying solely on the financial resources of Wanhua Valley and the craftsmanship of Seng Yixing, it is impossible to build so many base stations.

At this time, Lu Ping's spell played a huge role.

Compared with energies and signals such as electric current and internal force, spiritual energy and formations far exceed them in terms of transmission range, endurance and stability.

After Lu Ping joined the project, he immediately solved the biggest development problem of the Tiangong Wanli machine - the limitations of signal transmission.

Now that there is no need to consider base stations, the development progress of Tiangong Wanli Machine is advancing by leaps and bounds.

The development process of the Tiangong Wanli Machine requires the machine to be sealed with a spell.

But Lu Ping couldn't waste time casting spells on every Tiangong Wanli machine, so he teamed up with Seng and his entourage to build a machine that could automatically cast spells on the machine.

With this machine, they can produce the Tiangong Wanli machine using an assembly line method.

At this time, those Wanhua disciples who had become Lu Ping's disciples and learned spells from him finally had a chance to display their talents.

Because although the machine can cast spells automatically, it still needs to be watched by someone who knows magic to ensure that no major mistakes occur, and this task is the responsibility of his apprentices.

Those Wanhua disciples did not have many complaints about this, after all, the pay for this job was very high.

And anyone with a little brain will know that as Tiangong Wanliji continues to develop, update and iterate in the future, they will get even more dividends.

In the audience, after listening to Dongfang Yuxuan's introduction to the functions of the 'Tiangong Wanli Machine', a group of people in the martial arts world were excited.

Immediately, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question.

"Excuse me, Master Dongfang, how much does your sect's 'Tiangong Wanli Machine' cost?" Finally, the question got to the point!
"It is currently only in the internal testing phase, so friends from Jianghu who come to participate in the press conference today only need to spend 98 taels for a 'Tiangong Wanli Machine', and there are only 1,000 places available."

"As for the future, once the internal testing is over and before the 'Heavenly Craftsman's Machine' is officially launched, Wanhua Valley will make an official announcement."

The price of ninety-eight taels may not seem cheap, but it is not a lot for people living in Chang'an City and those who can come to participate in the press conference.

After all, everyone here is a rich person.

For them, it is a huge profit to get the latest technology for less than one hundred taels and be the first to connect with the new era of the world.

This press conference was very successful.

Relying on his eloquence and the reputation of Wanhua Valley in the martial arts world, Dongfang Yuxuan sold a thousand "Tiangong Wanli Machines" and easily earned ten thousand taels of silver.

After the press conference, Dongfang Yuxuan happily pulled Lu Ping and other participants into the room. They divided the money among themselves and each went home with a lot of money.

Naturally, the story of Tiangong Wanliji was reported in the "Tang Dynasty Post".

In the following month, more and more rumors about this new technology spread in the industry, and it received rave reviews.

This phenomenon was expected by Lu Ping and others. After all, the technology for efficiently transmitting information is extremely lacking in this world.

Many people gave feedback at the Wanhua stronghold in Chang'an City, saying that the emergence of the 'Tiangong Wanli Machine' has greatly promoted their connections with relatives and friends and has been very helpful in their lives.

Of course, the feedback is not all positive, there are also negative reviews.

As the 'Tiangong Wanli Machine' was used more and more, various problems began to appear one after another, such as 'no response', 'too long delay', 'unliked push content', 'being targeted by robbers seventeen times in a row', 'sudden explosion during use', 'forced interruption by others when having a private conversation with a lover', etc.

To this end, Dongfang Yuxuan once again convened the two developers Lu Ping and Seng Yixing, as well as Pei Yuan, the personal secretary who was responsible for writing promotional copy, and the four of them discussed these phenomena.

"Tell me, what is going on?"

At this moment, Dongfang Yuxuan was very much like those chairmen in the company who only knew how to hold people accountable but not think about solutions to problems.

"Valley Master, you know me well."

Seng Yixing was the first to speak: "I didn't even have a helper. I spent a year alone to solve the two major problems of hardware and software."

“Do you know how much work is involved?”

"Please show some consideration for an old man like me!"

This old man, who is nearly eighty years old, made a severe accusation against Dongfang Yuxuan.

"Besides, there was no problem when I used the 'transmitter' in Wanhua Valley before!"

Dongfang Yuxuan's face was immediately filled with shame, and he turned to look at Lu Ping.

"Valley Master, you know me well."

Lu Ping spread his hands and said helplessly: "I only got involved in the project in the later stage. Even if there are problems with the product, it has little to do with me..."

Dongfang Yuxuan's eyes rolled, and he felt that there was some truth in what he said, and then he looked at Pei Yuan.

"...Valley Master, don't look at me."

Pei Yuan's eyes twitched: "All the content of Tuilan was written according to the theme you gave me before."

So you're saying it's my fault?!

Dongfang Yuxuan was furious when he heard this: "I can see that each of you has special skills..."

"Ahem... Valley Master, let me add a few more words." Monk Yixing interrupted Dongfang Yuxuan.

"Senior Gongsheng, please tell me."

As the technical director and main developer of the project, even though Dongfang Yuxuan is the chairman of Wanhua, he has to be given some face.

The monk said calmly, "After all, this Tiangong Wanli Machine is a new product and high-tech. This is our first internal test, so it is normal for some problems to occur."

"I have anticipated similar situations, so you don't need to worry."

"With the abilities of this old man and Young Master Lu, we will soon be able to fix the problems mentioned in this feedback and develop the second version of 'Heavenly Craftsman'..."

In fact, Lu Ping and Seng Yixing had anticipated and discussed these negative reviews as early as when they were developing the product.

At the beginning, the two of them only discussed for half an hour, and finally came to the conclusion: Don’t worry about so many things, just make the finished product first, and then start to optimize it when problems arise in the future.

If we really want to find out who is to blame for the problems just mentioned, it is actually very obvious -

The problems with hardware and software belong to Seng Yixing;
Regarding the problems with signal transmission, Lu Ping accounted for 30% and Seng Yixing accounted for 70%;

Dongfang Yuxuan and Pei Yuan each had half of the problems with the copywriting;
As for the user being easily robbed...

That's not a problem for any one person present.

In this situation, it is obvious that this is a problem of Tiance Mansion!
