Douluo overthrows the gods

It is said that the history of the Metal City is earlier than that of the Sun Empire and the Silver Moon Empire before the merger. There is no definite conclusion, but one thing is certain. Since the advent of the soul guide, this city has followed.

In the mind of the soul master, the Metal City is a holy land. The land here is so barren that it is almost impossible to grow food, and the scenery is also very depressing. As far as the eye can see, there are only bare mountains.

But here is the richest mineral deposit, and all the metals that soul masters need can be found here. Therefore, this city that only accommodates 600,000 people has more than 100,000 soul masters.

The inheritance of soul masters in Douluo Continent is stronger than that in Sun Moon Continent, but soul masters ultimately belong to their own power, and soul guides can be used in all aspects. The buildings in the Metal City are very modern, with high-rise buildings, smelting tools, soul guides

workshop……

The Eternal Chamber of Commerce built the platform one mile outside the East City Gate. The circular platform was crowded with people, and all black-robed soul masters were watching the rail cars coming from a distance.

Everyone has a thoughtful expression on their face. One hundred and fifty miles per hour is not very fast. The soul guide they made will only be faster. The twenty-meter-long car looks quite big, but it is difficult to

They can't beat these soul mentors with their unique skills.

But in the past, only soul masters could make artifacts that shocked the world, but now a group of ordinary people actually participated in such a feat.

This can be interpreted as ordinary people's challenge to the soul master, or ordinary people's desire to seek a higher social status.

With a sharp whistle, the rail car slowly entered the station. After the carriage door opened, people stared at the first person to come out. It was the wise man who provided technical ideas to those craftsmen, allowing ordinary people who were originally peaceful to

A heretic who has become restless.

Then, the others followed Gu Zhi and stepped onto the platform. They all looked at the metal city in front of them in unison, even the dark soul masters on the platform were ignored.

"It took one and a half hours to get from Banyue City to the Metal Capital. This is no slower than riding a horse."

"If the pulley device is reinforced and a thousand-year-old iron-armed ape is tamed to pull the cart, the speed can be doubled, and the carriage can be increased by three more."

"That's not how it works. The faster the speed, the greater the wind resistance. If you want to increase the speed, you have to redesign the front of the car."

…

The craftsmen who had been waiting all the way gathered together as soon as they got off the car and began to discuss how to improve the rail car. No matter what, this time they showed their faces in front of people they had looked up to, which was enough for them to brag for a while.

"This technology is not difficult. It just requires laying the rails, and then using the iron arm to pull the wheels. If I were to design it, I would use the wind and thunder spiral array to design the power device. Only a fourth-level soul engineer can push such a

The car traveled five hundred miles."

"That's right. If you add a wind-breaking array to the front of the car, the speed can be at least doubled." "Not only that, I think an ice-sealing array can also be added to the wheels, which can reduce the resistance and increase the speed of the car."

It can be faster."

…

The soul guides on the other side also gathered together and described the rail car as ordinary, but they knew in their hearts that soul guides require soul power to drive. To drive a 20-meter rail car, you need a fourth-ring

How can the above soul masters, these soul masters who are accustomed to being aloof and aloof, be willing to work as coachmen for others?

Even if you pay more, you will still lose face and lose your status.

"So you are trying to copy our methods. This is blatant theft and a crime. Yueshu, you have to keep an eye on me."

Gu Zhi glanced at those soul masters. He agreed with what these soul masters said. For soul masters, it is not easy to follow the same pattern. If you really want a group of soul masters to design railway tracks and rail cars, they will do it.

very good.

Hearing this, Yueshu snorted lightly and said: "I am involved in every railroad track laid by the Eternal Chamber of Commerce. You should think about the consequences."

The soul masters became quiet now. They could look down upon the rail car, which seemed to be nothing more than that, but when facing the princess Yueshu, they could only remain humble.

Suddenly, a path opened out of the dark crowd of favors. Xu Yan, who was wearing a prince's royal robe, walked towards Gu Zhi, followed by his son Xu Zhe and several people in official robes. At the end of the team was

Two soldiers were pressing down on a middle-aged man with an honest face.

"Mr. Gu is right. According to the legal code, those who steal other people's technology should be paraded through the streets and imprisoned for more than three years of corvee service."

Xu Yan, King of Pinghai, popularized the law with an upright look on his face. The existing Ming Code was modified based on the original laws of the two countries, and many new regulations were added, mainly to restrict the privileges of the nobles and reduce penalties.

Rise to a level where you can deal with nobles and officials.

In other words, officials and nobles are equally guilty of stealing as common people.

But whether it can be implemented thoroughly in practice is another matter. After all, the law is dead, but people can be flexible.

After saying that, Pinghai King Xu Yan nodded to Yueshu and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The Sun and Moon Empire is so prestigious that no one dares to violate the laws established by our empire."

Yueshu loosened his hold on Gu Zhi's hand, straightened his face, and replied: "I have met Uncle Shi, the False Moon Province is under your jurisdiction, and the laws of nature are strict."

In the original timeline, the Yue clan was exterminated by the Xu family, because this generation of the Xu family had the Zihuang Tianshuanglong martial spirit, but before that person could be promoted from crown prince to emperor, the Yue clan was overthrown.

Divine scroll.

Because of this, the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire is Yue Xi.

Gu Zhi ignored the business bragging between the two and instead noticed the middle-aged man who was being escorted to the back of the team. If he remembered correctly, he was a craftsman who made fireworks. His name was Liang Wu.

After learning the black powder formula, the man asked him some theories on how to make artillery.

Then he explained to this man solid bullets, explosive bombs, anti-aircraft guns, mortars... To be honest, he was very optimistic about this man and thought he could build an "Italian gun".

However, Liang Wu left the workshop after attending the class. Gu Zhi had not seen him for almost a month, and he did not expect that the meeting would be like this.

Xu Yan, who came specially to attack, waved his hand, and the officials and Xu Zhe behind him immediately stepped aside. The two soldiers escorted the empty-eyed Liang Wu to his side. He said to Gu Zhi in a deep voice:

"Mr. Gu, according to the legal code, murder is a capital crime, but this criminal who learned his skills from you is even worse. He committed a tragic murder. In one night, sixty-eight people in the Flying Eagle Mansion died.

, the Baron's Mansion was reduced to a sea of ​​flames, affecting nearly a thousand innocent people. Such atrocities had never happened since the founding of the empire. Even if he was sentenced to death, it would be difficult to comfort those who died.

Since he learned his skills from you, you are naturally his teacher and should be held responsible for being implicated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Wu's eyes flashed with despair. He subconsciously avoided Gu Zhi's gaze and angrily yelled at King Pinghai: "I have not become a disciple of the wise man. I have no master-disciple status at all. I do

It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

The onlookers gradually came to their senses. First of all, they noticed that the person being held captive was an ordinary person, and he killed an entire baronial palace. The person who could hold the title was at least a fourth-level soul engineer. How could such a person be killed by an ordinary person?

The man killed his entire family.

Xu Yan smiled coldly and took out three black cannons from the ring on his hand. They were 70% similar to the "Italian cannons" in Gu Zhi's impression, but because the materials used were stronger than high-carbon steel,

, the diameter of the muzzle is close to twenty centimeters.

Without any explanation, everyone present realized that this was a weapon, and it was extremely powerful. The most important thing was that it came from the hands of an ordinary person.

He also used this to destroy a baron's mansion.

"It is true that you and Mr. Gu do not have the status of master and apprentice, but you are actually master and apprentice. Without his guidance, how could you create this artillery that is as powerful as a fourth-level soul guide."

As soon as Xu Yan's words came out, a storm immediately arose. The soul masters present shook their heads and said to themselves: "Impossible, impossible..."

The next moment, they turned their attention to Gu Zhi's face. In just two months, an ordinary person was allowed to build a cannon that was comparable to a level five soul guide. Such a person was really a heretic.

Tap tap tap...

There was a burst of unhurried footsteps. Gu Zhi walked to the three cannons with a calm face. After looking at them carefully, he said to Liang Wu who lowered his head: "You are really a genius. This cannon barrel

It actually has rifling in it, and it can be used directly to make a rifled cannon instead of a smoothbore cannon. It's very good, really very good. If I didn't have innate soul power, I wouldn't be sure I could do it better than you."

Climbing the technology tree in the Douluo World is an almost impossible task. Even if a legion of tens of thousands of people is equipped with artillery and rifles, it will not be able to fight against a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo, let alone a god-level existence.

A strong person who can break through space cannot be locked by conventional technology. Even if a nuclear bomb is built, how can it hit a god-level strong person with a launch speed of only several times the speed of sound?

At least anti-matter bombs and aviation-grade electromagnetic railguns are needed to threaten the true god-level experts.

It took Douluo World 30,000 years to build a space carrier and anti-matter bombs, but it was defeated steadily in the face of a powerful quasi-god. It can be imagined that how to hit the enemy is the most important thing for scientific and technological weapons in the face of extraordinary power.

problem.

Faced with this enthusiastic compliment, Liang Wu replied at a loss: "Before I met you, I had made some earthen cannons, but their power was very weak, not as good as those five-stone bows. You..."

He swallowed back the words he almost blurted out. As a final repayment to Gu Zhi, he would never admit that Gu Zhi had taught him anything.

The corners of Xu Yan's lips on one side raised slightly and he said: "Since Mr. Gu admits that he and this criminal are masters and disciples, please come with me."

According to the Ming Code, Liang Wu was charged with the following crimes: killing his family and disrupting public order. However, he was alone and had no relatives or friends. Otherwise, just for this implicated crime, his family members and teachers could be sentenced to death.

Gu Zhi and he didn't have a formal master-disciple relationship, and even if he said it, he couldn't be convicted of a serious crime, but for Xu Yan, having such a name was enough.

"The dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy will give public lectures every half month. Teachers and students in the academy can attend the lectures. Can the entire academy call themselves disciples of the dean?"

Yueshu walked to Gu Zhi and stood side by side with him. He looked at King Pinghai and said, "Uncle Shi, please don't forget the words "strict laws."

Becoming a master is a very serious matter. Not only must it be widely publicized, but a special set of etiquette must be followed so that the master-disciple relationship can be recognized.

"Your Highness the Princess is joking. I didn't say that I wanted to convict Mr. Gu. I just asked him to go back with me to assist in the investigation. After all, he is closely related to this tragedy."

Xu Yan said in a compassionate tone: "The knowledge taught by Mr. Gu contains powerful power, which can enable ordinary people to create such powerful firearms. However, people's hearts are complicated. Once such power is used in the wrong way, it will be a disaster. Flying

Eagle Baron House is a living example of this."

Upon hearing this, the soul masters present immediately echoed, and just thinking about it made them shudder. If ordinary people can build artillery, then how can soul masters like them maintain their transcendent status, let alone guard against it?

Revenge carried out by ordinary people who have been oppressed.

"There are enough people here, and all the parties involved are here, and these Fa Yin are also here. How about trying this tragic case of family extermination here?"

Gu Zhi's eyes turned cold, and everyone nodded wherever he looked, even King Pinghai who came to attack was no exception.

He glanced at Liang Wu and said, "Why did you want to destroy the Feiying Baron Mansion?"

In just two months, he was able to understand rifling, gunpowder formula, air pressure, parabola... and other artillery production theories, and make real objects. There is no doubt that Liang Wu in front of him is a military genius. In addition to talent, there should be something else.

Drive him and make him try his best to do it.

Everyone present focused their attention on this middle-aged man, with his honest appearance, half-grey and half-white hair, rough and cracked palms...

Similar to common old farmers.

In front of everyone, Liang Wu talked about the past with a fierce look in his eyes.

"My family was originally in a small village in Feiying Town. I was only eight years old at the time. We had grandparents, father and mother at home, and we also raised a few lambs. One day, my mother was feeding the lambs fodder in the yard, and suddenly something happened in the sky.

An eagle with golden feathers flew down. Seeing that the lamb was about to be snatched away, my mother immediately picked up the wooden stick by the wall to drive it away, and then an arrow pierced her chest.

My father heard the noise, walked out of the room and saw an eagle pecking at my mother, so he picked up the wooden stick on the ground to hit the eagle, and then another arrow missed.

Then, the grandparents also went out. They were old and did not have the strength to shoot the eagle. They just pointed and cursed a few times, but they were shot dead."

At this point, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, looked up at Gu Zhi, and said word for word: "I was beside the murderer, washing the black horse he was riding. At that time, I didn't know he was shooting

What, but he was really happy, smiling so brightly, and said several times that all four arrows hit!

So, as long as I live, his whole family will die."

It is said that it is because of deep-seated hatred that this uneducated pyrotechnics maker did what Blue Star has done for hundreds of years.

"He killed your whole family, and you killed his whole family. This is karma. You did nothing wrong."

Gu Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "But since there are laws in the world, those who violate them are guilty, and you have to accept this punishment."

"Actually, I originally wanted to commit suicide after paying homage to my relatives, but I didn't expect these people to arrive so quickly and catch me when I had fired all fifteen shells."

Liang Wu suddenly turned around, pointed at King Pinghai and said: "These people are not qualified to judge me, but if the wise man says that I am not guilty and guilty, then I will admit it."

Obviously, this is a game.

When Liang Wu decided to carry out his revenge plan and purchased a large amount of black-grained iron, he was noticed by a thoughtful person. However, this thoughtful person did not expect that he could make such a powerful firearm, but this could be used to kidnap Gu Zhi and make some compromises.

.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"I am deeply sympathetic to your experience, but you still cannot avoid going to Lingchi Platform."

Xu Yan crossed Liang Wu in front of him, came to Gu Zhi and said: "Mr. Gu, such a tragedy is really unbearable, so please come with me. We need to discuss how to avoid this happening again.

occur."

The reason why Liang Wu was able to build the artillery was Gu Zhi's guidance. More than a thousand people present heard this, and he personally admitted it. Therefore, no one can fault Xu Yan's behavior at this moment.

"This project is not completely finished."

Gu Zhi pointed at Liang Wu and said: "The Flying Eagle Baron Mansion he killed also committed a tragedy that wiped out the whole family. They should also be tried. Even if they are dead, the matter must be investigated clearly. After the investigation is completed, they will be on the ruins."

A monument was erected to record this incident. In addition, the local Fayin ignored the tragedy of annihilation, which was dereliction of duty and should be punished.

Only after these are done can the coffin be finalized and executed later in the year."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from the crowd of soul masters.

"My lord, I respect you sir. You really think of yourself as a person. You are just a white man. What qualifications do you have to point fingers here?"

Everyone immediately folded their hands and looked at Gu Zhi with a sneer. Even if you are good-looking and have some talent, even the princess is fascinated by you, but you have not married the princess yet, and you are not even the prince-in-law.

It's too early to give orders now.

Gu Zhi walked up to the three cannons, stretched out his hand to touch the cold barrels, and said with a smile: "These are only cannons that are comparable to level 4 soul guides. If I do it myself, I can make one that is comparable to level 7 or 8 soul guides."

You can't imagine what it would be like to have a thousand artillery guns pointing at a city, but I'm sure I can do it."

He reached out and squeezed, and a thin, middle-aged man with a goatee flew out of the crowd and ran into his palm.

"When I'm reasoning with you, just listen to me and do what I say, because if you talk violently, many people will die."

The truth is only within the range of the cannon. Even if you want to lead change through capital, you still have to start the war song of iron and fire.

I really brought the war wherever I went.

Gu Zhi threw the person in his hand in front of King Pinghai and said: "I have made it very clear that this matter will be handled this way."
