The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 18 Science + magic = black technology?

As the leader of the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Jue, known as the "Great Sage Teacher", was certainly not someone who could not distinguish between the important and the urgent. On the contrary, his approach was truly clear.

The defeat during the day meant that he could no longer lead the Yellow Turbans, and even his life was in danger.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that Jiang Cheng, the successor he had been looking for so painstakingly, would take the throne.

But it's too early.

Although Jiang Cheng was engaged to Zhang Yue, they never got married and had no children - the engagement could be canceled. If the Yellow Turbans were defeated and he died, would he lead the Yellow Turban Army all the way to the end?
If there is a chance to summon Jiang Cheng to surrender, will the emperor really fight him to the death?

It’s hard to say.

Therefore, even though it was inappropriate to get married on the battlefield, Zhang Jue still decided to let Jiang Cheng marry Zhang Yue!
Worship Heaven and Earth now!

"You are already an engaged couple, so keep everything simple. After you worship heaven and earth, all 80,000 Yellow Turbans will be handed over to you. The lives of everyone in my Zhang family and even the entire Taiping Dao will also be handed over to you!" Zhang Jue said.

Then, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang also expressed their opinions.

"How can you start a career without a family?"

"Only when you have a family can you be considered a real man, and the Yellow Turban soldiers can safely entrust their lives to you!"

Jiang Cheng did not refuse this.

Although he was a little too impatient and too simple, the current war situation did not allow him to hesitate at all. Therefore, he made a prompt decision and pulled Zhang Yue to start worshiping heaven and earth.

Soon, the ceremony was completed.

"On your wedding day, I have nothing else to give you. Take this book, The Essential Techniques of Taiping, and study it carefully. Don't break the inheritance of my Taiping Dao!"

Zhang Jue took out an old booklet and said.

Jiang Cheng didn't care about this at first, because even if "throwing beans to turn into soldiers" really existed, it couldn't change the situation of the battle.

It is not meaningful.

He was still busy taking over the army and quickly deployed defenses with the assistance of Chen Gong to avoid being taken advantage of by Lu Zhi.

He was busy until late at night before returning to his own camp.

"Husband!"

Zhang Yue looked at him, her face full of shyness and anticipation.

Jiang Cheng also came back to his senses.

"Are you hungry, ma'am? Have some supper first!"

He invited Zhang Yue to eat.

He was flipping through the book "Taiping Yaoshu" to pass the time, and as soon as he read it, he was immediately fascinated by it - he originally thought that magic was just a minor thing and could not change anything.

Zhuge Liang's Eight Diagrams shocked the world and made ghosts cry, but he still failed to unify the country.

not so useful.

But after actually reading it, I realized that I was too arrogant and shouldn't have rashly defined something I didn't understand at all: Where is the magic?
The so-called Taiping Art is a study of the relationship between man and nature, it is a science!
Yes, science.

According to the basic "Taiping Yaoshu", life is the spirit of heaven and earth, and has a connection with heaven and earth that transcends matter, and can use this to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

In other words, human mental power can actually be released outwards.

The essence of magic is the practice of releasing mental power. The root of all magic lies here.

So, what is the purpose of releasing mental power?

Different sects have their own differences, but Zhang Jue's "Throwing beans to create soldiers" combines the art of mechanical puppets and uses precious materials to create the "Yellow Turban God Generals". He has practiced throughout his life and has created twelve of them.

It is his reliance on which he conquers the world.

It is not easy to create a god. First, you need to understand the laws of human movement and the details of the human body, and then use puppets to anthropomorphize. You also need to know how to "change matter with the spirit" and be able to turn precious materials into the shape you want.

When combined together, they create a "machine" that cannot be built with modern technology, and give it a "spirituality" that even artificial intelligence cannot match.

Only in this way can the power of "God General" be brought into full play. "Then the question is, if my attainments in materials science surpass those of modern times, and I also surpass those of modern times in artificial intelligence, why would I create God General? Wouldn't it be better to rub a nuclear bomb with my hands?" Jiang Cheng wondered.

But soon, I understood.

In ancient times, there was too little information flow and science had not developed, which limited their cognition.

The divine general is the most powerful thing Zhang Jiao can think of.

But actually, it’s not!
"If we can use mental power to directly change matter, can we break the shackles of industrial foundations and create things that are currently impossible to manufacture with our own hands?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think.

Although this approach does not have the potential for mass production, it can achieve technological advancement.

For example, a lathe.

A photolithography machine.

Even if Jiang Cheng dies of old age, he may not be able to lead his craftsmen to accomplish it. Science requires accumulation, and industry needs to be improved step by step.

However, it can be done by combining magic techniques and using "mental power" to directly "refine" it.

"If this works, who should I be afraid of?"

Thinking of this, he began to learn the "Taiping Yaoshu" with great interest - he didn't know whether it was because his mental power was particularly strong in his two lives as a human, or he was just gifted, but in just one hour, he mastered the "mental transformation of matter", which is the "refining" in the Taiping Yaoshu.

Then, he threw aside the techniques of making "soldiers beans".

Instead, he found ink and steel and began to "refine the weapon" according to the structure he knew.

This refining process took two hours.

When the cock crowed and the sky was bright, he finally finished his work. Holding a half-finished ballpoint pen refill, he shouted excitedly, "Master Dao, I did it!"

Zhang Yue, who had been sitting on the bed waiting all night, had a very resentful expression on her face.

"Husband!!!"

……

After making love and coaxing Zhang Yue to sleep, Jiang Cheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

He found Zhang Jiao again and took out the "ballpoint pen" in his hand, which made Zhang Jiao look puzzled: "This thing is indeed light for writing, but it is not very useful, right?"

Looking at Jiang Cheng's excitement, he was a little confused.

As for the fact that Jiang Cheng learned the "Taiping Yaoshu", he did not find it strange.

The art of magic is about false teachings, but true teachings can only be passed down in one sentence. It is about the wise being enlightened in one day, while the mediocre being wastes their whole lives and gains nothing.

To put it simply, it depends on talent.

If you can learn it, then you can. If you understand it immediately, it’s not surprising if you learn it quickly.

"No, it's too big. You don't understand what it means to be able to create a 'ballpoint pen'!" Jiang Cheng suppressed his excitement and asked, "If it can help the emergence of the 'Kingdom of Heaven', if it benefits the country and the people, and helps us develop, do you mind if I pass on the 'refining' method in the Taiping Essential Technique to others?"

This left Zhang Jue confused.

But after a little thought, he said, "Anyone who enters my Taiping Dao can learn it!"

Of course he cared about the rumors.

But if the other party joins the Taiping Dao, it will not be considered a side story.

"Good, very good!" Jiang Cheng nodded, asked Hua Tuo to take good care of the Great Sage Master, then turned and left, summoning Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and other Yellow Turban leaders.

No one was surprised by this.

Facing a powerful enemy, we must discuss how to defeat him.

However, what they didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng didn't mention military affairs, but asked directly: "Everyone, do you want to learn from me the great magical power of destroying the world?"

Everyone: "???"

Is it just a random statement to destroy the heavens and the earth? Is the Great Heavenly Master going crazy because of too much pressure?
