Chapter 289: The Formula Contains the Principles of the Great Dao, Bombers and Carpet Bombing

Heavenly Workshop.

As the name suggests, the institution known as the Heavenly Workshop is equivalent to a large factory, responsible for manufacturing all kinds of mysterious tools, magical instruments, and gray crystal machinery.

Of course.

Since gray crystal machinery belongs to civilian machinery, the Heavenly Workshop only manufactures the core component, the "Spirit Crystal Disc," while the other parts are produced by civilian factories.

At this moment.

A gray-haired master craftsman put down the letter in his hand and muttered to himself incessantly:

"Including the profound laws, the essence of all things and their changes is essentially the conversion of energy. Although Ambassador Cheng's statement is strange, it does make sense when you think about it..."

Right beside him.

A middle-aged craftsman was carving a piece of Spirit Crystal Disc.

He held a delicate carving knife and, with an agility far beyond that of an ordinary person, drew a spiritual pattern. After testing it with a magical instrument, he continued to carve the next spiritual pattern.

The middle-aged craftsman seemed to be completely focused, but from the flickering of his eyes, it could be inferred that he was distracted and listening attentively to the words of the master craftsman.

The master craftsman quietly read the contents of the letter again.

"The essence of the path of the profound master is to enhance one's own energy and transform oneself into a 'Source Crystal' in human form. Profound laws are the conversion of one's own power into other forces, such as the thermal energy of fire-based profound laws.

"The core essence of an internal combustion engine is the conversion of the heat energy from burning fuel into kinetic energy. In a sense, it can also be seen as a kind of profound law..."

When the middle-aged craftsman heard this, he burst out laughing, "Is this guy talking nonsense?"

This guy couldn't help but grin, "If that's the case, then if I ignite a barrel of brown oil, wouldn't it be equivalent to using a fire-based profound law?"

The middle-aged craftsman seemed to think this was a hilarious joke and stopped his carving motion, laughing heartily, "This is too funny!"

The master craftsman's face was filled with anger, "Liang Ming, if you keep blabbering nonsense, when I finish making the prototype of the internal combustion engine, I'll let you start the machine with your little birdie!"

The smile on the middle-aged craftsman's face instantly froze.

The beautiful image of "birdie turning the machine" flashed through his mind, causing him to shudder and quickly apologize, "Master, I was wrong!"

The master craftsman scolded without hesitation, "What Ambassador Cheng said is clearly insightful. If you don't have the brains to understand, fine, but you actually have the audacity to make fun of Ambassador Cheng."

The middle-aged craftsman didn't dare to argue, "Master, I'm an idiot!"

The master craftsman snorted and continued reading the letter.

The middle-aged craftsman stole a glance at his master and began to work diligently.

After a while.

The master craftsman suddenly sighed, "Ambassador Cheng is right. Besides being bulky, the biggest problem with gray crystal machinery is that it is too expensive.

"Indeed, the source energy contained in the spirit crystal is relatively abundant, but it has always been in short supply in the Profound Palace. Ninety percent of profound masters don't have a Profound Boat.

"Even the cheapest gray crystal lamp is only affordable for wealthy families. Most commoners can only use oil lamps."

The master craftsman shook the letter in his hand and continued, "Ambassador Cheng's envisioned internal combustion engine refines brown oil as fuel, and brown oil is extracted from stone fruits.

"There are more than a hundred small spiritual realms under the jurisdiction of the Profound Palace, and they are all uninhabited wastelands. There are as many stone fruit trees as you want to plant, and they can be harvested every year at a low cost."

The middle-aged craftsman agreed, "That is indeed an advantage."

This guy then raised a question, "Ambassador Cheng's prototype machine doesn't output much power, but its size is still large, not much better than gray crystal machinery."

The master craftsman replied, "It can be improved!"

The middle-aged craftsman didn't dare to disagree, "Gray crystal machinery has been improved for tens of thousands of years, and its size is still the same."

The master craftsman shook his head, "Special Envoy Cheng proposed the concept of 'heat value' and derived a formula for 'conversion of heat energy into kinetic energy'."

He immediately handed over a letter, "Those formulas are in there. Your arithmetic skills are not bad, so you should be able to understand them."

The middle-aged craftsman took the letter and read it carefully.

Half an hour passed.

The middle-aged craftsman nodded slightly, "There is indeed some insight."

The master craftsman glared at his disciple, "Not just some insight! These formulas contain the principles of the Great Dao. You only half-understood them."

The middle-aged craftsman felt that his master had gone mad and couldn't help but complain, "Special Envoy Cheng is a true genius. He can trigger a spiritual tide with just one condensed seal.

"Even if Special Envoy Cheng is fooling around and accidentally blows up the living quarters, the Lord of the Palace will only laugh and say, 'Well done.'

"But you, in the Heavenly Workshop, have been marginalized like this. As a great master, you are making gray crystal machinery every day. Special Envoy Cheng can afford to play, but you really can't."

This is the truth.

And it hits the nail on the head.

The master craftsman fell silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "In a letter, Special Envoy Cheng wrote this sentence..."

He paused and said, "Since it has already become a big mess, what else is there to lose?"

The middle-aged craftsman curiously asked, "What does 'big mess' mean?"

The master craftsman glanced at his disciple and explained, "It means someone like me."

The middle-aged craftsman opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

He felt that this statement made a lot of sense!

For his master, even if he lost this bet, at most he would return to his hometown and retire. This would be more enjoyable than staying in the Heavenly Workshop and feeling depressed.

And if his master won the bet, there was a high probability of turning the tables.

The master craftsman suddenly changed the topic, "In the letter that was just delivered, Special Envoy Cheng envisioned a very powerful flying weapon called a 'bomber'."

The middle-aged craftsman sat up slightly and showed an attentive expression.

The master craftsman continued excitedly, "Special Envoy Cheng said that this idea came to him when he was playing with paper airplanes in his childhood.

"He believes that if we make a metal plane and install an internal combustion engine to drive a propeller, it can fly."

The middle-aged craftsman nodded gently, "If we can really make an internal combustion engine, this is indeed a feasible plan."

The tone of the master craftsman became even more excited, "In the letter, Special Envoy Cheng proposed an astonishing plan. If we can manufacture thousands of metal planes.

"Each plane carrying two 'Mystic Flame Profound Weapons', a massive fleet will fly to the enemy's position and drop all the weapons.

"Special Envoy Cheng calls this type of plane a 'bomber', and this method of warfare is his envisioned 'carpet bombing'."

The middle-aged craftsman listened in astonishment.

The master craftsman's tone was almost ecstatic, "Due to the limited production of mystic crystals, the number of mystic boats has also been restricted.

"If we can really manufacture bombers, ordinary people can play a huge role in war without the need for mysticists to pilot mystic boats.

"In this way, the strength of our Wan Hao Clan will undoubtedly greatly increase."

The middle-aged craftsman was finally moved, and his eyes revealed a burning desire, "Master, this is indeed a genius-like idea. We can try it out with Special Envoy Cheng."

In case it succeeds.

This is not just turning the tables, becoming the head of the Heavenly Workshop is no problem, and even leaving a mark in history is highly possible.

It's worth taking a gamble!
