The six major sects in the Northern Shu continent were nervous. The Nascent Soul ancestors of the six major sects patrolled their sphere of influence from time to time. This had never happened before.
Even the conflict between Senluo Sect and Qianye Temple, which had just started not long ago, was put on hold. The internal problems of Beishu Continent could be solved at any time, but external troubles needed to be faced together.
All this seemed to have nothing to do with Li Shiming, and he continued to live a life equivalent to seclusion on Chijian Peak.
No one knows that every one or two days, an unmanned aircraft will be released.
At present, Li Shiming has no plan to place the drone outside the sphere of influence of the three major righteous sects. Just within the sphere of influence of the three major righteous sects, his drone will need to fly for a long time to reach the farthest point.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
The Grand Guest Ancestor Weng Zhao of Tianxing Trading Company seemed to have disappeared. The only person who knew his hiding place was Li Shiming.
After Patriarch Weng Zhao left that day, he disappeared on a mountain peak.
Li Shiming was certain that the mountain must be a secret base of Tianxing Trading Company. He did not inform the sect of this news, mainly because his means of investigation were not convenient to reveal.
During these two months, he finally completed the first step of drone deployment, and fifteen drones completed the monitoring of the righteous forces' sphere of influence.
Of course, he manufactured more than fifteen drones. Some of them were backup drones. Once an accident happened to a drone in the sky, he would use the backup drones to replenish them.
However, judging by the performance of the drone, the chance of being discovered is very small.
As long as there is no intentional scanning by a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will not be easily discovered.
Each drone is equipped with a self-destruct device. Once it falls into the hands of other monks, the built-in intelligent system will trigger a self-destruction, completely destroying the drone.
He was not worried that the drone would fall into the hands of other cultivators and be cracked or used by others. The technology used by drones was a completely different civilization system from that of the immortal world. It was impossible to crack it, let alone use it.
In fact, he could completely use the flying patterns in the world of immortal cultivation, such as flying boats. These formation patterns that can allow spiritual objects to float or fly can replace the flight of drones.
But in that case, the drone's spiritual power fluctuations would be much greater, which did not meet his requirement for the drone to hide itself.
Even if the drone is covered with a large number of micron-level concealment formations, the smaller the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the drone itself, the lower the chance of cultivators discovering the drone.
The technology from the previous life used in the drone is almost ordinary. Except for the spirit stone motor that converts energy, most of the functions of the entire drone adopt the technology from the previous life. It just uses some refining techniques in it, so that the drone does not need to consider the limitations of materials and can exert effects far beyond the previous life.
It is estimated that all the cultivators in the entire Northern Shu continent could not imagine that it took Li Shiming more than two months to establish a monitoring network covering the sphere of influence of the righteous path.
Moreover, a network consisting of fifteen drones can completely replace the current means of communication and build a new communication system.
The system inside the drone is manufactured according to satellite specifications, and its communication system is capable of withstanding the load of 10,000 people conducting video communications simultaneously.
If Li Shiming had not been able to make a good income by relying on his ability as a master of alchemy, he might have started selling immortality-oriented mobile phones in the Northern Shu Continent just like he did on Tianhai Island.
Now he has designed a Xiuxian version of the mobile phone, which, with the support of a drone satellite network, can become an independent closed communication system that will not be affected by the outside world.
He didn't care about the small amount of money he could earn from selling a cell phone. Selling a cell phone could only earn him spirit stones, which were not very important to a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage.
The vast majority of third-grade resources cannot be purchased with spirit stones, and most need to be exchanged for spiritual objects.
Of course, he also made several mobile phones for testing. Although they may not be put into use, the technical reserves must keep up.
In the morning, he called Ye Lingyun, who became the supervisor of Chijian Peak, and all external affairs of Chijian Peak were handled by her.
Even the remuneration for the three followers was deposited annually by Li Shiming with Ye Lingyun, who would then pay it out regularly.
Li Shiming didn't have to worry about anything regarding the spiritual fields at Chijian Peak, from sowing to harvesting to trading.
Ye Lingyun is loyal. She is Li Shiming's follower. Whether in the world of immortal cultivation or in Shushan Sect, she is Li Shiming's subordinate and relies entirely on Li Shiming for her existence.
"How are Wan Qian and Lu Yingtong?" Li Shiming asked after seeing Ye Lingyun.
"Sir, Wan Qian has successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. In order not to affect her work, Lu Yingtong has staggered her time with Wan Qian. It will take about three more months to try to break through!" Ye Lingyun replied respectfully.
Her voice was full of gratitude. The three followers all had the opportunity they had today because of Li Shiming.
"From now on, Wan Qian's allowance will be 10% less than yours. After Lu Yingtong breaks through, we will follow Wan Qian's allowance!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and gave the order.
The rule is the remuneration. He needs to confirm Ye Lingyun's status as the supervisor, so he will not make the remuneration of the three followers the same.
"I would like to thank you on their behalf!" Ye Lingyun said with a bow.
"I want you to make another trip, this time to Qianhuan Sect first, and deliver this to Yin Shilan. If Yin Shilan is in seclusion, let Liang Yexuan take it first and pass it on on her behalf. Send this storage bag to the checkpoint using the most secret channel!" Li Shiming took out two storage bags and instructed.
In the storage bag given to Yin Shilan were some second-grade advanced elixirs for the foundation-building period, which could help her practice faster.
The other one is a Xiuxian version mobile phone. Yin Shilan has used similar products before, so there is no need to worry that she won’t know how to use it.
The reason why Li Shiming gave Yin Shilan a cultivation version mobile phone was mainly because after Yin Shilan went into seclusion, he could no longer contact her, and Li Shiming wanted to meet her through the video function of the mobile phone.
As for the other storage bag, it was a test by Li Shiming. Since it was not convenient for him to test it, he asked his clone Li Yuanba to do it.
In the mountain city of Shiwandashan Realm, three days later, Li Yuanba received the storage bag.
The storage bag went through a special channel, not his normal smuggling channel, but rather used the channels of other forces, which made it impossible to trace the source of the storage bag.
The reason why we are so careful this time is because what Li Yuanba is going to do next may be big.
The internal space of the storage bag is very large. This storage bag is the largest among all storage bags. The items inside are extremely messy, making it impossible to tell what they are used for.
Li Yuanba greeted Deacon Yue Xing and informed him that he would be away from Jieshan City for a day.
About a hundred miles away from Jieshan City, he took out his Wanjianfeng magic weapon, enlarged it and dropped it to the ground.
He activated the magic weapon formation of Wanjian Peak, preventing the outside world from seeing the situation on the top of the mountain.
He took out everything from the storage bag and began to assemble it.
As assembly progressed, the shape of the rocket began to take shape on Wanjian Peak.
Yes, this time Li Shiming sent a 20-meter-high solid rocket. However, in order to avoid trouble, it was stored in a storage bag in the form of parts. Even if a monk checked the storage bag, he would not find the actual function of the parts.
Although Li Yuanba does not have 191 brains like his original body Li Shiming, it is not a big problem for him to assemble the parts into a rocket.
He also shared Li Shiming's weapon refining ability from the original body Li Shiming, but Li Shiming's weapon refining ability was realized by the Red Sun Spirit Fire, while he used the Golden Elixir Fire to realize it.
Li Yuanba used Danhuo for welding, especially the assembly of rocket shells, which required the help of Danhuo.
After several hours, the rocket stood on a flat spot on the top of Wanjian Peak.
He took a deep breath, excitement flashing in his eyes.
If he succeeds this time, he will have the means to attack the enemy from a long distance in the future. Regardless of whether the attack is successful or not, the disgust alone will be enough to make the enemy die.
The cost of this rocket is not high, most of it is made of ordinary things, with only a portion of first-grade materials mixed in.
The rest is mainly the time cost of the original body Li Shiming. After Li Shiming has his own magic weapon IBMz15, this time cost will be reduced a hundred times.
Li Yuanba took out a button from his storage bag very ceremoniously and placed it in front of him.
"The countdown begins. 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Launch!"
With the last sound, he pressed the button, and flames spurted out from the tail of the rocket, pushing the rocket body slowly into the air.
After rising several thousand meters into the air, the rocket changed direction and flew towards the top of the Jieshan Checkpoint.
The target of the rocket had been set long ago. In fact, all the clone Li Yuanba needed to do was to assemble it and launch it. The follow-up had nothing to do with him.
The rocket with a tail flame was getting faster and faster. When it approached the Jieshan checkpoint, it was discovered by Jiang Pu who was guarding it.
Jiang Pu did not do anything. He just paid attention to this strange rocket. The rocket had almost no spiritual reaction. Such a mortal object could not pass through the blockade of the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint at all. If it hit the shield of the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint, it would be shattered immediately.
A look of curiosity appeared on his face. He wanted to see how this strange thing broke into pieces.
He was more curious about who made this thing and what its function was.
As Jiang Pu was paying attention, the rocket had already arrived above the Senluo Sect's Boundary Mountain Checkpoint.
He thought the rocket would crash into pieces next, but what happened before his eyes made him open his mouth wide.
Because a spiritual power fluctuation was emitted from the arrow head of the rocket, a passage was inexplicably opened up in the formation of the Senluo Sect's Boundary Mountain Checkpoint, and the rocket passed through the Senluo Sect's Boundary Mountain Checkpoint formation without any impact.
Jiang Pu stared in amazement as the rocket rushed past from the sky. He had no way of catching up with that speed.
"Formation-breaking Talisman, which formation-breaking talisman did this master use? How could it possibly break the formation here?" he muttered to himself.
The array-breaking talisman is not a particularly rare talisman. Any array master who possesses the array Starlight Sea can make it.
The talisman for breaking the formation contains the formation master's knowledge of breaking the formation. Not all formations can be broken. Instead, the formation must be within the range of the sealed knowledge of breaking the formation in order to be broken.
A normal formation-breaking talisman requires some time to think and judge after being cast. It usually takes several to dozens of breaths before the formation can be broken.
The formation-breaking talisman on the rocket is a talisman that is specifically used to break the Senluo Sect's Boundary Mountain Formation. It will break the formation immediately once activated.
This is what shocked Jiang Pu. It requires one to be very familiar with the great formation of his own mountain range to be able to create such a targeted talisman to break the formation.
Jiang Pu looked at the direction the rocket was flying. He was more curious whether the rocket would be blocked by the large formation on the righteous side.
It won’t take long to achieve this result. At the speed of a rocket, two hundred miles can be reached in an instant.
When he saw the trail of the rocket passing through the top of the Zhengdao Boundary Mountain Array without stopping, the expression on his face relaxed.
As long as it's not the Senluo clan that's embarrassed, if everyone loses face, they won't laugh at each other.
His biggest question now was where that strange thing was flying to?
The one who had the same question as Jiang Pu was Ying Hou, the elder guarding the Golden Core of the righteous sect. Ying Hou was also looking up at the sky at this time. The rocket was too fast. Ying Hou watched the rocket flying from the Senluo Sect and was unable to stop it as it flew over his head.
Judging from the direction the rocket was flying, several Jindan elders from both the righteous and evil sides were unable to determine the rocket's target.
After the rocket entered the sphere of influence of the righteous path, the system inside the rocket arrow automatically connected to the drone satellite system.
The Rocket began to change direction, intentionally avoiding the powerful forces on the route ahead to avoid being intercepted in advance.
This change of direction also made it impossible for the monks who discovered the rocket along the way to determine the rocket's final target.
The rocket made a lot of noise, and even though they intentionally avoided areas with a lot of monks along the way, it still caused quite a stir. Many monks overestimated their own abilities and wanted to track it, but unfortunately, once the rocket was unleashed, its speed was simply too fast for ordinary monks to catch up with.
At Chijian Peak, Li Shiming’s natal magic weapon was connected to the drone satellite system, and through this system it was also connected to the rocket’s navigation system.
Various data flashed before his eyes. These data changed very quickly, but his life magic weapon processed the data instantly and passed the analysis results to him, allowing him to clearly know the current detailed situation of the rocket.
These data are important references. The only reference data for the rocket he built is the data from the last escape from Tianhai Island.
The data from this actual launch will give him a theoretical basis for upgrading the rocket and help him know where to improve the performance of the rocket.
Solid fuel was used for the first time, and its combustion thrust-to-weight ratio was the basis of his updated technology.
In fact, in his natal magic weapon IBMz15, he has tested the rocket data through simulation technology, but there is still some gap between reality and simulation.
Everything was fine, at least the rocket's performance met his requirements and there were no problems that could affect the rocket's performance.
