Chapter 276 Brass Furnace Dragon
The Shangxun family’s ancestors made their fortune by doing a special business: touring theater troupes.
Grandfather Shang Bei established the "Wild Theater", recruiting extraordinary performers such as Fish Man, Fire Chicken, Bully Locust, and Man-eating Crab, and performed in various cities to earn ticket money.
Compared to the serious plays at the Ale Theatre, the scripts and performances of the Wild Troupe were much worse.
But the troupe has performances by extraordinary people, which are not available in theaters. In addition, Shangbei has also made many improvements and innovations along the way.
Later, the "Wild Troupe" took ferocious supernatural beings and beautiful and passionate girls as the key elements, adapted some curious folk tales, and evolved into an exciting performance that could not be seen in the city.
Later, because the actresses in the troupe were too revealing, the extraordinary people were covered in blood-red berry juice, and the brutal and obscene scenes were really offensive to public morality, Yaocheng officially banned the Wild Troupe from entering the city.
Because of the ban, the Wild Troupe became famous.
Many similar theater troupes have sprung up, following suit, using Beauty and the Beast as a selling point and performing more outrageous and bizarre performances.
At this time, the Wild Troupe retired.
Shang Bei disbanded the troupe. Because of its fame, the Wild Troupe had become a prominent figure, but he only saw it as a business and had little interest in the drama itself.
He took the money he earned and went north, settled in Crystal City, bought some shops, and began to enjoy life.
After Shang Bei passed away, the family property went into the hands of Shang Xun's father Shang Nan.
Unlike the hardworking Shang Bei, Shang Nan had never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood. He invested all his money in the grain business, which resulted in heavy losses. He soon squandered his family fortune and had to sell his house and shop to pay off his debts.
After getting drunk, Shangnan got into a conflict with someone and hit his head on the glass and died.
So when we arrived at Shangxun, although the name showed that they were a merchant family, they actually lived in poverty.
He had been making glass in Crystal City since he was a child, and also planted and bought flowers. To make money, he had done many jobs. Because of his cleverness, dexterity, diligence, and outstanding appearance, Shang Xun rarely went hungry.
Later he joined a team of archaeologists, started as an apprentice, and gradually became a young archaeologist.
Although this line of work is not as poor as in the past, it is definitely not a profession that can make you rich.
Shang Xun joined the archaeologists not because he had a great passion for the underground world, but because archaeologists could ride on the underground boat for free.
The Uji people are very friendly to archaeologists, and this is their way of showing goodwill and respect.
Shang Xun likes to sail on the ground.
He had always wanted to drive this magnificent and wonderful land ship. Unfortunately, only the Wuji tribe could control and drive this vehicle, and they could not mobilize the Wu element, so the land ship was just a motionless stone ship.
The King of Bones, Philus, made the "Steam Furnace" public, and the whole world changed. The furnace and fire were reorganized and constructed into many devices and props.
Shang Xun came up with an idea.
Is it possible to use a steam furnace to transform the Earth Boat, no longer using the black element as the propulsion core, but using a steam furnace that ordinary people can use?
In that case, you can steer the boat yourself.
Shang Xun will always remember the time when he boarded a ground-moving boat. The shuttle-shaped boat turned rapidly on the ground, drifting sideways with grace and agility, the impact of the crazy acceleration and the heavy push-back feeling brought by the stone chair.
This short journey is like a dream.
Since then, Shang Xun never had a similar feeling on any other boat.
Later he found out that the driver was the famous hero, Mr. Uluru.
Uluru was a great archaeologist, who learned from the late archaeology pioneer Fabiani. He expanded geology based on his teacher's foundation, discovered coal and fire wells, and greatly increased the Yao people's fuel reserves.
But few people know that Uluru is best known to the Uji people for his wild and radical land boating skills.
He was the fastest earth walker, and because of his speed, he was often examined by the older generation of Wuji people, who suspected that part of his body had melted, making him a dangerous person.
Many people think of a sentence when talking about Uluru.
——The Flower Boat is an extension of the Crystal City.
But few people know that his real motto is.
——If you don’t flip the boat over, it means you are not driving fast enough.
This sentence completely convinced Shang Xun.
He tried every means to visit Uluru to explore the possibility of such an improvement, but was always just a hair's breadth away.
The closest time was in the Valley of the Gods. Shang Xun had heard from his colleagues that Uluru had found rose seeds in the ruins of the underground Rose Kingdom, so he gave the seeds to Lord Pinkman, the apostle of the Valley of the Gods.
When Shang Xun went there, he learned that Uluru had entrusted other people to deliver the seeds because a strange quagmire was discovered deep underground.
The lost Shang Xun met a girl in the local area.
Her name is Hongye, and she is the gardener in the rose garden.
The two quickly fell in love.
But Shang Xun quickly calmed down.
Compared to the flying fantasy brought by the sailing boat, the love between men and women seems too bland and short-lived.
Even if you really want to get married and have children, that has to be after sailing on the land.
This boat must be sailed.
He told Hongye: "I will come back in my land boat to marry you, wait for me."
But if you want to transform a land boat, you must first have a land boat.
Nowadays, the number of ground-moving boats is increasing, but they are still firmly in the hands of the Wuji people.
The city of Wuda will not sell the land boats publicly, nor will they be lost - because the black contained in the boats can cause explosions, and without the Wuji people's operation, it is very dangerous.
Even if there were any wandering land-traveling boats, their prices would be extremely high and Shang Xun would not be able to afford them at all.
Just when he was about to show his worry, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
The five major cities jointly issued a bounty mission, inviting people with relevant technical experience in potions, medicine, pharmacy, engineering, smelting, casting, forging, construction, stonework, carpentry... to come to White Castle to help solve a major problem faced by scholars.
When Shang Xun heard about the high reward, he rushed over without saying a word.
The scholars who hosted the event described the problem.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Shang Xun was a little surprised. There was obviously a better way to solve this problem, but scholars insisted on using the most complicated method...
The White Castle is to use the Dragon Language to cast spells, allowing people to cast spells like dragons.
Shang Xun was confused by what he heard.
Humans are humans, dragons are dragons. To make a person comparable to the dragons, there may be a glimmer of hope for very few people, but it is impossible for most people to do so.
Whether it is the pain and dizziness of blood loss or the wounds from skin cuts, most people are unwilling to do it.
Shangxun thought about it.
It is very similar to my idea of building a steam furnace.
He told me his own way.
The scholar's expression, which was already impatient, changed rapidly. He grabbed him and brought him into the White Castle.
Next, Shang Xun met a series of legendary characters.
The King of Bones, Philus, is just as the folk legend says. He has a hideous skull, but speaks gently and pragmatically, without any condescending airs.
The dragon-born prophet Longji has a majestic pair of bat wings and mysterious tattoos like scales on his body. He appears calm and reserved.
Prophet Shi Bao was still unhurried, listening patiently to everyone's words, and then taking notes in a notebook with a feather pen.
The dwarf craftsman Hammerless is usually silent, but when talking about professional topics related to production, he immediately becomes passionate and extremely detail-oriented.
…
Shang Xun finished explaining his complete ideas.
The hall of the White Castle was in complete silence.
After a while, Philles said to him: "From now on, you are a lifelong scholar of White Castle. If you have any request, just ask."
Shang Xun immediately said, "I want a ground-moving boat... modified with a steam boiler."
"no problem."
Philus clapped his skeleton hands together, making a clicking sound. "Everyone, if there is no objection, let's start trying the new plan! Get moving!"
The scholars changed direction and began to discuss in groups.
…
Lu Yao came out of the shower and was drying his hair when he noticed a reminder pop up on the simulator.
【The Yao clan created the brass furnace dragon. 】
[The Brass Furnace Dragon caused a huge response among the extraordinary people.]
[The extraordinary people are awed by the appearance of the Brass Furnace Dragon and have developed a fanatical worship of you, and their faith has been greatly improved. ]
The upper right corner shows that faith has increased by 320,175. Combined with the recent gains from the fire item, the total reserves of the Fire of Faith have reached 21.23 million.
Lu Yao calculated.
The number of extraordinary people among the believers is still a minority. Extraordinary people can bring more fire of faith, but even so, they cannot reach this level.
In other words, the main impact of the Brass Furnace Dragon this time was the radiation on the extraordinary people in the outside world, which caused them to receive a strong shock and then offer their faith.
Wow, an artificial dragon, huh? This crooked extraordinary technology tree is really a surprise.
Lu Yao quickly looked at the screen.
Thanks: Sun Chenchen supported 1000 Qidian coins, Yi Chen Xia Shi supported 500 Qidian coins, Yunli Wuli QwQ supported 100 Qidian coins.
