From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 95 Redefining This World! [Bonus Chapter for Donations!]

"A metal for storing soul power?" Chen Hong's expression faltered slightly upon hearing this, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked, "Are there any extracts?"

Ning Quan shook his head and said softly, "The smelting will take some time. The initial raw ore is of poor quality, so the craftsmen need to manually refine a batch first. We'll wait for the quality of the later batches before sending them over to you for inspection."

(Soul Power Metal from Dou Er's Milk Bottle Technology)

"Yes, that is indeed good news." Chen Hong nodded subconsciously. If the quality of the soul metal from his father Chen Lin's side was good enough, then the development speed of the Technology Chamber of Commerce would take another step forward.

Chen Hong invented the Soul Motion Machine long ago, but he struggled to find materials that could store Soul Power (batteries), leaving the Technology Chamber of Commerce's Soul Motion Machine development in an awkward, stagnant position. Only when energy storage technology catches up, combined with the Soul Motion Machine, can the industrial revolution in Douluo Continent truly begin.

Previously, these were merely small-scale skirmishes among Soul Masters, and the common people, who constituted the vast majority of the Douluo Continent's population, were unable to participate in the industrial revolution led by the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the development of energy storage technology would allow the Technology Chamber of Commerce to recruit ordinary people without reservation, reducing labor costs, increasing development speed, and stimulating the productivity of the vast majority of working people.

In the past, even if you gave Soul Motion-related products to ordinary people, they would think that these things couldn't be moved, and that they were heavy and took up a lot of space, and were not very useful.

However, once energy storage technology is developed, the total amount of soul power used across the entire continent will definitely reach a new historical high!

Basic materials and energy—the two pillars of civilization's development—seem to be on the horizon for the foreseeable future, which brought a slight sense of joy to Chen Hong's heart.

"By the way, did Dad say what he plans to do with that mine?" Chen Hong suddenly remembered this question and asked Ning Quan curiously.

Ning Quan pondered for a moment before answering Chen Hong's question: "Currently, he and several trusted craftsmen are working on smelting metal. At the same time, they have sent invitations to the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, inviting them to come and see the quality of that batch of metal."

Previously, in the Baiyun mining area in the southern mountains of Soto City, the Technology Chamber of Commerce obtained its share of the rewards by having the Spirit Hall intervene.

Now, the Treasure Sword Mountain Range is both within the sphere of influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. While Chen Lin is pulling these two forces into the conflict, he continues to drag the Spirit Hall into it as well.

Moreover, the Technology Chamber of Commerce did not hide anything and directly sent invitations to all three parties at the same time. Adhering to the principle of not offending anyone, it allowed the three parties to freely distribute the benefits, with the Technology Chamber of Commerce only taking a small share.

"Hmm, Dad's way of handling things is getting more and more prudent." Chen Hong couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Without a doubt, Chen Lin's father did not take Chen Hong's words to heart. Yes, Chen Lin's father was a man who listened to advice. Chen Hong had analyzed the core advantage of the Technology Chamber of Commerce for Chen Lin.

As long as one possesses world-leading technology, any force in the world will become a source of materials for the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

Clearly, Chen Lin, the father, was also keenly aware that various rare mineral veins could not make the Technology Chamber of Commerce rich, and the raw material regions monopolized by various Soul Master families could not be used as a means for them to strangle the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

With raw material prices rising, the high-tech soul guide products of the Technology Chamber of Commerce also saw price increases when sold to regions where prices had risen, so it was no problem at all.

Even the simplest soul-guided cars are becoming increasingly complex in the design of the Technology Chamber of Commerce's soul-guided cars, featuring shock-absorbing springs, rubber tires, power steering, gyroscopes, and even soul-guided headlights. Although they have many functions and require a high level of soul power from the soul master driver, the ability to manually turn off some soul-consuming functions makes the extra burden negligible compared to the comfort and prestige. The increasingly mature production lines and extremely low technology and labor costs mean that even if the other two major soul-guided car businesses, the Heaven Dou Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Star Luo Royal Chamber of Commerce, were tied together, they would still be no match for each other.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heaven Dou Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Star Luo Royal Chamber of Commerce joined forces with the Technology Chamber of Commerce to reach a 'price agreement' under the notarization of the Spirit Hall a while ago, the two royal chambers of commerce might have already collapsed before the Technology Chamber of Commerce even made a serious move.

Therefore, technology chambers of commerce with core technological advantages must know how to share profits and continuously give up low-end industries to the Soul Master forces to show them their sincerity and goodwill. They should not appear too greedy and should learn to make choices.

Because the Tech Chamber of Commerce is making money by letting other Soul Master factions and sects "enjoy the process of making money from the Tech Chamber of Commerce".

While the whole world is making money off the Technology Chamber of Commerce and complaining about its poverty, the Technology Chamber of Commerce is also successfully making money off the whole world.

"Once they get their results, just send me some soul metal to do some research."

On the grass of Shrek Academy, Chen Hong watched the Shrek Seven Devils, who were beginning combat training with the armed forces members of the Technology Chamber of Commerce, in the distance. After chatting with Ning Quan for a few more minutes, he quietly watched the commotion.

Ning Quan watched the Shrek Seven Devils' combat drills for a while, then suddenly said, "Would you like to learn some combat techniques? I can teach you some swordsmanship to increase your combat experience."

"Instead of teaching me, you should teach this Pigsy instead."

Chen Hong chuckled and patted the wild boar at his feet, saying to it, "Go, ambush those people."

"Hmph hmph hmph!" Bajie seemed to understand human speech, nodding and humming at Chen Hong. Then, with a flick of its tail, it quietly crawled forward on the grass towards the Shrek Seven Devils' camp in the distance.

"..." Upon seeing this, Ning Quan's face flashed with surprise. Looking at the sleazy-looking wild boar, he exclaimed in astonishment, "How can there be such a smart pig?"

"Huh? It has soul power?!" Suddenly, Ning Quan, who had sharp eyes, noticed that the wild boar crawling forward on the grass, after sneaking a certain distance, suddenly emitted a faint yellow aura. Then, it suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to Oscar, who was standing at the back of the Shrek Academy camp with nothing to do!

The pig advances suddenly!

A fierce pig must root up the best cabbage!

Bajie seemed to have activated some kind of skill, rushing towards Ning Rongrong at lightning speed. By the time Ning Rongrong reacted, it was too late. Seeing this, Oscar shoved Ning Rongrong aside, only to be sent flying two or three meters away by Bajie. Clutching his buttocks, he cowered in the grass, writhing and rolling on the ground, crawling in the shadows, tears streaming down his face.

"Instead of teaching me, you might as well teach Ning Rongrong, right?"

Looking at his second senior brother, who had successfully launched a sneak attack and disrupted the Shrek Seven Devils' formation, Chen Hong's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Ning Quan's gaze gradually shifted from astonishment to shock, and finally to terror!

That wild boar is already a soul beast? When?!

Some soul beasts are born as soul beasts, while others start as wild beasts.

"Sigh, as expected, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know."

Chen Hong watched as Pigsy, who was cooperating with the members of the Technology Chamber of Commerce to fight the Shrek Seven Devils on the grass, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The concept of a Soul Master needs to be redefined.

Soul tools need to be redefined.

Soul Beasts also need to be redefined!

Thank you to [KangKangNi] for the 100-coin reward!

The original novel contains many logical inconsistencies regarding Soul Masters, Soul Tools, and Soul Beasts. This book will reinterpret these concepts using a different logic, filling in the gaps and updating the definitions.
