Chapter 288.1

The Combination Of Technology And Cultivation (1)

Feng Shao saw the weapon Dai Zhixin mentioned in the military workshop.

Yes, the name is correct, it is “Military Workshop!”

This military workshop was set up by Dai Zhixin when Feng Shao went to Qiankun Palace, and the people selected were carefully selected from Yunjian Pavilion and Taiwei Sect.

For this reason, Dai Zhixin actually wrangled with the managers of the various departments, and finally, she was able to form it successfully with the strong support of Lin Xiaoran and the others.

The reason why Lin Xiaoran and others supported her in establishing the so-called “military workshop” was not out of trust in her, but out of trust in Feng Shao.

Since Feng Shao said before leaving that Dai Zhixin’s opinion was the main one, Lin Xiaoran and the others would naturally support her unconditionally.

But support is support, Lin Xiaoran and others still cannot understand the significance of the existence of such a so-called “military workshop.”

In the eyes of most people, the so-called “military workshop” is a department dedicated to the research and development of lethal magical items.

This kind of department exists widely in all major sects and forces, but no one will specifically name it.

Often, only when necessary, would they summon high-level refiners to form a dedicated research and development team to refine the magical items they needed.

And Dai Zhixin’s approach is tantamount to subdividing the refining industry into one.

In this regard, Dai Zhixin explained to Feng Shao, “With the improvement of productivity, there will be various magical items that need to be developed.

I plan to subdivide the research and development and create a separate department of civilian magical items, dedicated to the research and development of that kind of everyday life magical items. After all, a cultivator’s life is not just fighting and killing, eating and drinking is the daily life of most people.”

Feng Shao also agrees with Dai Zhixin’s explanation.

For a long time, many people have had a misunderstanding about the life of cultivators, thinking that the daily life of a cultivator is trying to figure out how to kill people more efficiently.

This is true whether you are practicing a cultivation technique or a martial skill.

But a cultivator is also a person and a cultivator also has a daily life. No one can take killing as a daily routine, not unless that person is a pervert.

Therefore, it is imperative to subdivide the refining industry.

It didn’t take long for Feng Shao to see the scattered weapons placed in the warehouse in the military workshop, and his expression suddenly became strange.

Pointing at those things, he couldn’t help but ask, “This… is this the result of your research over the past few months?”

“That’s right!” Speaking of this, Dai Zhixin became smug. She casually picked up something that looked like a pistol, and said, “How about it? Does it look familiar? I specially made it according to the style of the Desert Eagle. Does it look very lethal?”

Looking at this pistol that obviously doesn’t match the style of this world, the corners of Feng Shao’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He reached out to take the “Desert Eagle” and looked it over carefully.

After looking at it, he immediately discovered many unexpected things.

The appearance of the entire pistol is basically the same as that of the modern Desert Eagle, including the trigger, firing pin, magazine, and other structures.

No matter how he looked at it, it is an ordinary mechanical pistol.

But when Feng Shao used his divine sense to investigate deeply, he found that there was another universe inside.

A normal pistol uses gunpowder.

Regardless of whether it is black powder or smokeless powder, it is the kind that can ignite after impact, and burn violently to produce a large amount of gas, and then rely on the power of gas expansion to shoot the bullet out under the compression of the barrel.

The whole principle is simple and crude, no matter how the pistol is improved, this basic principle will not change.

But this pistol is very special.

Instead of gunpowder, it’s another mixed mineral.

While speaking of this invention, Dai Zhixin’s eyebrows became very high.

She said enthusiastically, “I have to say that the cultivator really has the means of a cultivator. I don’t know how gunpowder was developed. I once thought about developing gunpowder by myself with nitrate and charcoal, but it failed later. Uncle Xue Li saw that I had been tossing about this thing, and asked me what I wanted to come up with, so I told him what I thought. Guess what? In just three days, Uncle Xue Li actually made it. He suddenly brought out a cultivator’s version of gunpowder!”

“The… cultivator’s version of gunpowder?” Feng Shao was stunned. What is this thing? He has never heard of it!

Dai Zhixin smiled and said, “Actually, this is my misunderstanding. I regarded gunpowder as a product of modern technology, but I forgot that the earliest gunpowder was a by-product of pill refining by those Taoists of ancient times. But in this world, almost every cultivator knows pill refining. So explosives are actually not uncommon. Whether it is Fire Refining Hall or Qingxing Hall, there are several explosive recipes in their hands. They recorded these recipes to be originally used to warn apprentices about accidentally blowing up the pill refining furnace or the weapon refining furnace. Really! I didn’t expect it to be all cheap for me.”

Speaking of which, she patted the cultivator’s version of the Desert Eagle on her hand again and said with a smile, “This is the explosive formula with the best effect. I call it ‘Spiritual Energy Gunpowder’!”

Feng Shao: “…”

That’s okay too?!
