Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Chapter 329 Celestial-level weapons! Shocking changes!

Ming dynasty.

Okheol Palace, where the cabinet meets for political affairs.

In front of Jiajing, the spiritual network screen opened, and a projection was playing on it.

I saw a moon-like star in the deep sky, which was grayish white in color.

At this moment, the projected image suddenly split into two.

On the left is the command cabin of a shuttle battleship, and on the right is deep space outside the domain and a large gray-white star.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest strategic weapon developed by the 'Xianming Heavy Industry Institute' that combines technology with immortality." As the Minister of Industry Xu Fan spoke, he couldn't help but be excited.

The five princes, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Prince Gong, Prince An and Prince Ning, as well as the cabinet headed by Yan Song and people from the Imperial Household Department including Huang Jin, Chen Hong and Shi San, gathered together.

And at the position where Jiajing was going to attack, in addition to Yan Song on the left, there was another small stool.

The person sitting on the small stool was none other than the Immortal Lord Long Yang.

No matter what, Immortal Venerable Longyang is a wandering immortal, a genuine immortal in the world, although, to put it bluntly, he is now just a puppet of Jiajing.

But Jiajing still gave the respect that was due.

At this time, Immortal Venerable Long Yang also cast a curious look at him.

The Ming Dynasty wants to invade the world of immortal cultivation and wants to combine scientific and technological civilization with immortal cultivation civilization in order to achieve the goal of overtaking on the curve.

He had already witnessed the power of scientific and technological civilization when he invaded the Ming Dynasty that day. It was indeed unique.

Even if it is an ordinary cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage, or even a mortal warrior, if he pilots a shuttle battleship, he can unleash a full-strength attack comparable to that of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

If there are 300 shuttle warships launching at the same time, even those in the Void Refinement Stage cannot be underestimated.

If the Ming Dynasty had more shuttle warships, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, it would not be a problem even if it went to war with the overlord-level sects in the cultivation world.

However, Immortal Lord Lou Yang knew that Daming's real ambition was to conquer the entire world of immortal cultivation.

That is simply impossible with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Qiankun Mirror existed, it could only catch up with the foundation of the world of immortal cultivation.

If one wants to completely suppress the entire world of immortal cultivation, then both the individual high-level combat power and the entire macro-level size must be four or five times higher.

In fact, in the eyes of Immortal Venerable Longyang, only a size and high-level combat power that is ten times greater than the entire world of immortal cultivation can be firmly suppressed and then completely rule the entire world of immortal cultivation.

But even so, in the eyes of Immortal Venerable Longyang, the Ming Dynasty still has great potential.

Of course, the main reason why he had such confidence in the Ming Dynasty was because of His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the Taotai sofa.

"The naming of this weapon of war was agreed upon by the Institute of Heavy Industry and more than a dozen scientists including Newton and Kepler. It was named celestial-grade weapon!" Xu Fan's voice rose unconsciously.

Celestial-grade weapons?
Hearing this new word, everyone couldn't help but look at it with interest.

They naturally understood what celestial bodies were.

As the Ming Dynasty took over the entire Ming Domain, the scientific and technological achievements of the Protoss, as well as the science of the Ming world itself.

Regarding the study of celestial bodies, it can be said that the research is quite sophisticated.

One scientific document, magazine, and newspaper after another can be said to have become popular throughout the world in recent decades.

Not only that, the current Ming Dynasty education system is also constantly changing with the development of the times.

The previous system of elementary and elementary education has been simplified into the system of kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and university.

Start nourishing your body from kindergarten, slowly drawing Qi into your body, and preparing for cultivation.

After that, elementary school began, with cultural classes in the morning and spiritual cultivation classes in the afternoon.

According to the Imperial College's standards for student promotion throughout the dynasty, starting from elementary school, all students are measured according to their progress in cultivating immortals, and only those who meet the standards can enter good schools.

These schools offer a variety of skills, inheritances, and hundreds of arts of cultivation to choose from.

To graduate from university, according to the standards of the Imperial Academy, all students must reach the foundation-building stage.

Kindergarten at the age of three, graduated from college at the age of twenty-one.

In eighteen years, from nothing to something, he broke through to the initial stage of foundation building.

This speed is exactly what large sects in the world of cultivating immortals require of their outer disciples.

Of course, this standard will be improved with the development of Ming Dynasty. After all, in a hegemonic sect, the outer disciples are all in the late foundation building stage, and some are even in the golden elixir stage, while the inner disciples are all in the Nascent Soul stage.

In an institution like an academy, it can be said that every disciple in the outer courtyard is in the Jindan stage, while the inner courtyard is full of Yuanying stage disciples.

For example, the core members and direct disciples of each clan and lineage in the academy, almost everyone can become a god, and some evildoers can even reach the level of refining emptiness.

The Ming Dynasty was just starting out, so it was not in a hurry to compete with the dominant forces and academies. Therefore, almost all the students in the Ming Dynasty who had aspirations were involuntarily pursuing their own goals.

No, the Ming Dynasty’s support for science gave many ordinary families a roundabout way of hope.

After all, the current national policy of the Ming Dynasty is to vigorously develop the combination of science and cultivation.

Therefore, many students from ordinary families focus on academic subjects from the very beginning and study hard in mathematics, physics and chemistry!
After all, science relies on the brain and talent.

To a certain extent, the requirements for making achievements in science are even more stringent than those for cultivating immortals.

But there is no other way. This is a trend and the only way out for ordinary students from most families. If you are not gifted or genius, then hard work can make up for your shortcomings and the early bird catches the worm.

It was in this wave of national enthusiasm for science that the scientific undertakings of the Ming Dynasty made rapid progress.

Of course, the so-called rapid progress is nothing more than digesting the achievements of the Protoss' scientific and technological civilization.

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty itself is incapable, it’s just that its civilization process is too short, and the lord’s is an immortal civilization.

It’s good to have the current development.

Therefore, various scientific terms regarding celestial bodies have now become popular throughout the Ming world.

Even when many young people gather privately, the most discussed topic is which is stronger, the immortal civilization or the technological civilization?

Whenever they argued, they would get red in the face and even fight.

Of course, the result is obvious. Those who support the immortal civilization, which is stronger than the technological civilization, are the ultimate winners.

The reason is very simple. The current Ming Dynasty is an immortal civilization that has conquered the technological civilization outside the region.

If technological civilization was stronger than immortal civilization, how could the Ming Dynasty conquer the Ming territory?

Although some people are not convinced in their hearts, they want to say that it was just good luck for the Ming Dynasty in the vast universe to encounter a technological civilization with weak combat power. What if it was stronger?
You must know that all roads lead to the same destination!

But there are some things that cannot be said in public. After all, they are the people of the Ming Dynasty and cannot speak ill of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially for some public offices in the imperial court, as the competitive pressure in today's society becomes increasingly greater, the number of rules and regulations naturally increases in order to achieve the goal of continuous improvement.

If some of their remarks on the spiritual net were discovered, they might be rejected when applying for public office in the imperial court in the future.

"The so-called celestial weapon, as the name implies, is to turn the entire celestial body into a weapon!" Xu Fan said, swallowed his saliva, and continued:

"The Heavy Industry Institute divides celestial weapons into three categories."

"The first category is natural celestial bodies, which are further divided into stellar weapons, which are spherical celestial bodies composed of hot gas and emit light by themselves through nuclear fusion."

"For example, the sun above our heads!" Xu Fan said, pointing upwards.

Using the entire sun as a weapon?!
Hearing Xu Fan say this, everyone present was surprised.

You have to know that among those present, except for Jiajing and Longyang Immortal Venerable, the strongest two, Lu Fang and Lu Bing, whose cultivation has reached the fusion stage, do not dare to say that they have set foot on the sun.

If the entire sun were used as a weapon, how powerful would it be?

Thinking of this, Yan Shifan and others subconsciously looked at Lu Fang and Lu Bing, and then glanced at the Immortal Venerable Long Yang.

Well, they naturally didn’t dare to disrespect the emperor.

"If you use the entire sun as a weapon and mobilize all its energy, I won't be able to withstand the explosive power." Lu Fang shook his head.

After hearing what Lu Fang said, Lu Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head at everyone, indicating that he could not resist.

The author was not surprised by their answers.

Even those in the fusion stage dare not easily step out of the domain and enter the place where the sun exists, not to mention the power of the stellar weapons they create, which exhaust the energy of the entire sun.

Even a cultivator in the fusion stage might be blown to pieces in an instant.

"Ahem." Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Long Yang Xian Zun first coughed lightly to show his humility, then straightened his back and said confidently: "I can step on the sun."

"Thousands of years ago, I traveled through the outer space, hoping to find some opportunities for breakthroughs. I once entered the Taiwei Star Region and set foot on the abandoned ancestral star of the ancient Jinwu clan."

"Legend has it that it was the sun that the ancestor of the Golden Crow tribe transformed into after his death. Its heat is much stronger than the sun outside this realm. I have been in seclusion on it for three hundred years."

As he spoke, Immortal Venerable Longyang stroked his beard with his hand, his expression full of confidence and pride.

"The power of the mortal world and that of the immortals are two different levels." Finally, Immortal Venerable Long Yang suppressed his pride and said, "The reason why the scattered immortals are scattered immortals is because they can transcend the laws of heaven."

"Using the power of the rules of heaven and earth, all the power of the world, within the Tao, cannot harm the immortals in the slightest."

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals, that's it."

After hearing what Immortal Venerable Longyang said, everyone couldn't help but feel a little yearning in their hearts. At the same time, they had a clearer understanding of the power of the immortals!

If it weren't for the rejection of Heaven, once an immortal was discovered using his power he would be killed. I'm afraid that immortals, except for higher-level ones, have no natural enemies at all.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao does not allow the immortals to use their power in the human world.

"Go on." After Jiajing and others finished talking, he said to Xu Fan again.

"Yes." Xu Fan responded.

After Jiajing spoke, no one in Yuxi Palace dared to interrupt Xu Fan anymore.

"Below stellar weapons, the second tier of weapons are planetary weapons."

"So-called planetary weapons are defined as celestial bodies orbiting stars that are not massive enough to trigger nuclear fusion."

"For example, the world beneath our feet, as well as the ancient planet Mars and other stars in the solar system, all of them!"

"Going down, the third tier of weapons are satellite-level weapons, defined as celestial bodies orbiting planets."

"For example, the moon above our heads is!"

"After that, the fourth tier of celestial weapons are asteroids and meteoroids. Asteroids are small rocky and metallic celestial bodies in the solar system. Meteoroids are debris that burn up in the atmosphere, such as meteor showers in the night sky."

Hearing this, Gao Gong seemed to be thinking about something and whispered:
"Wang Xun and Wang Yi thought they had made great achievements in the clepsydra, and were very proud. At night, a meteor fell into the camp, and during the day, a cloud like a broken mountain fell on the camp, and scattered before it reached the ground. All the officers and soldiers were disgusted and lay down..."

Gao Guo did not deliberately lower his voice, and since everyone's cultivation was already extraordinary, naturally everyone heard it.

What Gao Gong read was exactly a historical record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Chronicle of Emperor Guangwu.

"Could it be that Liu Xiu also has a small planet-level weapon?" Yu Dayou suddenly asked in a muffled voice.

Hearing this, everyone else was stunned and subconsciously looked at the reckless man, and then burst out laughing.

How could Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, have asteroid-level strategic weapons?
If he had, could the Han Dynasty still have perished?

It would be more convincing to say that it was someone with extremely high cultivation who summoned a meteor from outer space to help him.

No one took it seriously.

Xu Fan also smiled and shook his head, then continued: "After that, there are some comet-class weapons." "Of course, if we only talk about celestial bodies, there are also nebulae and galaxies."

"The second largest category is man-made celestial bodies, which are believed to be missiles, weapons, or other special objects."

"This kind of weapon is not difficult for the Heavy Industry Institute, but there are some uncontrollable factors."

"If it is equipped with a teleportation array, it will be used as a strategic weapon for suicide attacks, and it will exert unimaginable power." Having said this, Xu Fan glanced at Jiajing and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Our Heavy Industry Institute has already begun developing this type of weapon!"

"Well, not bad." Jiajing nodded and expressed his affirmation to Xu Fan.

"The third category is special and extreme celestial bodies."

"For example, celestial bodies that even light cannot escape from. Also, neutron stars and pulsars."

"It can release a primary periodic electromagnetic pulse by itself, which can burst out energy that is not necessarily weaker than spiritual power, or even stronger."

"Finally, there are supernova remnants, the remnants of massive star explosions, and other strange celestial bodies..."

"The third type of celestial-level weapons are only a plan at present. There is no feasible method to capture and develop them yet."

As Xu Fan saw that Jiajing had no intention of blaming him, he continued, "However, considering the strategic weapons, the Heavy Industry Institute has only developed the third-level celestial weapons under the first category of celestial bodies, which is the satellite-level weapons we are going to test now."

As Xu Fan finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the right.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Heavy Industry Institute are ready." Xu Fan looked at Jiajing.

"Let's start." Jiajing nodded.

To be honest, at this moment, everyone, including Jiajing, was curious about the power of this satellite-level celestial weapon.

After all, this is a combination of the spiritual power, magic arrays, spiritual veins of immortal cultivation, and the energy of the satellite itself using scientific and technological means. It can be said to be the most authentic strategic weapon that combines scientific and technological civilization with immortal cultivation civilization in the Ming Dynasty today.

The previous shuttle battleships combined the Protoss' spacecraft technology, so although they could be considered as such, they were not developed by the Ming Dynasty itself.

You know, the concept of celestial weapons was proposed and developed by the monks and scientists of the Daming Heavy Industry Institute.

It took hundreds of years to achieve results today. Well, of course, it was the time in the Qiankun Realm.

Everyone is waiting to see!
Once satellite-class celestial weapons are successful and their power reaches a certain level, it will be a great help to Ming Dynasty in conquering the universe and even the world of immortal cultivation.

As for how to measure the power, with the existence of the ceiling of the human world like the Immortal Lord Longyang, it is easy to define what kind of power can be achieved.

"Let's start." Xu Fan took out the photo stone and sent a message.

"Yes!" Soon, everyone saw that in the left side of the picture, in the command cabin of the shuttle battleship, a Jindan stage monk from the Heavy Industry Institute wearing a white protective suit stepped forward.

And on the console, there is a red button.

It turned out that the Jindan-stage cultivator from the Heavy Industry Institute did not hesitate. After counting to three silently, he pressed the button directly.

Deep space is as silent as dead water.

The surface of this gray-white satellite, which somewhat resembles the moon, suddenly began to emit a blue light like ice cracks, and three dark red spiritual veins pierced out from the end of the earth veins like sharp needles piercing the surface of a drum.

"Buzz!" As the magic circle inside the satellite was activated, a layer of special energy rippled across the entire surface of the satellite. Then the entire planet began to vibrate like gears meshing. The ice caps at the two poles instantly vaporized, raising a thousand-foot-high fluorescent blue ice mist.

"Boom!" The first beam of light came out silently, but it left a green light like a comet's tail in the void.

When the light touched the target satellite, the rock layer suddenly surged as if coming alive, and metal inscriptions like ancient seal characters suddenly emerged from the molten slurry. This was due to the magic circle.

"boom!"

The second light followed.

The two beams of light struck the target's surface, creating a deep pit hundreds of miles deep. The flying debris burned into liquid glass in the vacuum, and then quickly condensed into a group of suspended spikes.

"laugh!"

The third light was the strangest, as it was transparent.

It passed through the channel carved out by the first two beams of light and exploded into thousands of fine filaments at the target star's core.

These light threads drilled frantically along the earth veins. Wherever they passed, dark matter collapsed like a spider web, and the originally solid rock layers began to flow on a falling trajectory.

The moment the light pierced the core of the star, the entire satellite made a crisp sound like tearing cloth, and billions of spirit crystals burst out from the surface.

In the deep universe, the crystal refracts the dazzling light of seven colors in the light emitted by a star.

"boom!"

The aftermath swept across the nearby star rings, and the space was distorted at this moment.

The ice meteorite that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly bloomed, and the star marrow sealed inside boiled in the shock wave.

The silver dome formed by the shock wave expanded into the depths of the universe, and the comets passing by were cut in half!

As for the target satellite blocking the satellite-level weapon, it had already exploded into debris.

The terrifying energy fluctuations directly created an invisible air ring in the void of the positive film, which swept away the dust in the universe and finally formed a condensed but undispersed star ring.

"The experiment is over." The voice of a Jindan-stage cultivator from the Heavy Industry Institute was heard in the video.

At this time, in Yuxi Palace, after watching this scene, everyone's hearts could not calm down for a long time.

With one strike, a star exploded.

You know, the size of this star is no smaller than the moon, and it is even larger than the moon.

Looking at the gray-white satellite-level weapon again, the three dark red spirit veins looked like bulging blood vessels, making it look evil and ferocious in the lonely and cold universe.

"I'm in the late stage of Lianxu, I can't handle it!" Yan Song was no longer drowsy at this time.

The old face full of wrinkles was full of solemnity.

Of course, at this time in Yuxi Palace, except for Jiajing and Longyang Xianzun, everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

Even Lu Fang and Lu Bing, two cultivators in the middle stage of fusion, had solemn expressions on their faces.

If they used their innate power and launched a full-strength attack, could they blast an extraterritorial star to pieces? The answer is no!

Of course, if the two of them fought with all their strength on that star, they might be able to destroy it.

But it definitely can't achieve such a shocking effect.

Even the Immortal Venerable Long Yang put away his relaxed expression at this moment, and replaced it with a serious look.

He admitted that he had underestimated this satellite-level celestial weapon before.

"Just judging from the power of this attack, I'm afraid it's no longer the full force of a cultivator in the late Mahayana stage!"

Finally, after estimating the power of the attack in his mind, Immortal Lord Longyang gave a positive answer.

A full-force attack from the late Mahayana stage!
"...Hiss!" Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

This is just a satellite-level celestial weapon, but it has the power of a full-strength attack from a late Mahayana cultivator.

What if it is planetary level, or stellar level?

How powerful would it be? I'm afraid that by then, even a scattered immortal would not be able to resist unless he exceeded his authority and called upon the power of heaven, right?

Feeling everyone's gaze, as if he saw through everyone's thoughts, although Immortal Venerable Long Yang was unwilling to admit it, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "The planetary level can compete with the scattered immortals."

"If it reaches the star level, even a scattered immortal will perish. If you want to disintegrate a planet, you need to call on more power of heaven, and a planet can basically be called a world!"

"Want to destroy a world?" Long Yang Xian Zun shook his head in self-mockery and said, "Impossible!"

"So, if our Ming Dynasty has stellar-class celestial weapons, and the number is comparable, I dare to predict that conquering the world of immortal cultivation is just around the corner!"

Hearing this, Jiajing's serious face couldn't help but relax.

If it is said that Ming Dynasty has the immortal Longyang Xianzun, who is the defensive trump card for Ming Dynasty to protect its home, then celestial weapons are one of the main offensive trump cards of Ming Dynasty!
"Mr. Xu." Thinking of this, Jiajing looked at Xu Fan, and the cabinet and the kings all looked at Xu Fan.

"Is it difficult to develop satellite-level weapons? How can they be mass-produced? What about planetary-level or even stellar-level celestial weapons?"

Suddenly being stared at by everyone, the excitement on Xu Fan's face suddenly disappeared.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"But what's the difficulty?" Jiajing asked.

Although Qiankun Realm now allows important officials such as the Cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, the Six Ministries, and the kings to enter and exit freely, especially those from the Ministry of Works and the Ming Academy of Sciences, they are not restricted.

But Jiajing was not concerned about the specific development progress.

After all, he is the emperor. In the current Ming Dynasty, there is a cabinet, a royal palace, six ministries, and kings, all of whom are capable of handling matters independently. Not everything needs to be taken care of by him personally.

Therefore, he did not know the detailed information about the Heavy Industry Institute's research and development of celestial weapons.

"Your Majesty, satellite-level weapons require selecting suitable satellites, transforming them, arranging magic arrays, laying spiritual veins, and allowing the energy inside to be mobilized..." Xu Fan said, taking a deep breath, and said, "Theoretically, it will take ten years."

"Ten years of the Ming Dynasty!" After saying that, Xu Fan added another sentence.

Ten years of the Ming Dynasty, doesn’t that mean more than three thousand years in the Qiankun Realm?

If it was only ten years, the Ming Dynasty could wait; it was not too long. But looking at Xu Fan's expression, it was obviously more than that.

Pick the right satellite!

There is also the need for transformation, laying out a magic array for the entire star, and also the need for transformation, to fully mobilize the internal energy...all these processes will probably be more demanding, and it will not be so easy to mass produce them.

"I dare not deceive the emperor," Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said again: "Satellite-level weapons require a special kind of energy that only very few stars have."

"The Heavy Industry Institute named it 'Rare Matter'. As the name suggests, it is a rare substance!"

"We have searched the solar system for stars but have not found any that match. Even in the Ming Domain, we have only found two."

"In fact, this 'rare substance' also originated from scientists in the Ming Realm. It was discovered accidentally, and its research and use have only been going on for a short period of twenty years. Thanks to the Qiankun Realm, we have achieved today's results."

"As for satellite-level celestial weapons, I'm afraid just finding the right ones will be a hassle."

“Not to mention the right stars!”

"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty still needs more time, more time to explore and expand beyond its borders..."

After Xu Fan finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Long Yang Xian Zun sighed softly, stood up and bowed to Jia Jing, saying: "Your Majesty, this kind of unique thing is not easy to obtain. If it is everywhere in the universe, it would have been captured and used by a higher civilization long ago."

"Whether it's scientific and technological civilization or immortal cultivation civilization, all things have the same end, they complement and counteract each other, and there is no way they can be out of balance."

"If weapons that can counter the late Mahayana are everywhere, I will doubt the existence of the Great Dao..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Yan Song and others knelt down one after another.

"Get up," although a little disappointed, Jiajing was not angry. He raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, and said, "Yang Tian is right. I am not angry about this."

"As for Xu Qing," he said, looking at Xu Fan, "Just keep working hard, there's no need to rush..."

"Report!!!"

However, before Jiajing could finish his words, a scream of terror suddenly came from outside the hall.

After hearing the voice, Chen Hong and Huang Jin's expressions changed slightly.

They recognized the voice of the person coming and it was the deputy admiral of the East and West Factory who was left at the Jin Family Manor.

"..."
