Chapter 407: Transformed Into a Hexagonal Warrior
"What did Master Zhao say in the letter?" Yang Zhan couldn't help asking when Kong Xiangdong put down the letter.
"Here, read it yourself!" Kong Xiangdong handed the letter over directly.
"Is this appropriate?" Yang Zhan hesitated.
After all, this was a letter that Kong Xiangdong and Zhao Ya spent a lot of money to communicate, and it might contain very important information.
Although he and Kong Xiangdong were important cooperative allies, Yang Zhan would consciously avoid suspicion when it came to overly sensitive information.
"Just read it if I tell you to, why so much nonsense." Kong Xiangdong said lightly.
Yang Zhan smiled and picked up the letter to read it.
After reading for a long time, Yang Zhan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"As expected of Master Zhao, he had anticipated the current situation a long time ago."
Yang Zhan looked up at Kong Xiangdong, "So what do you mean?"
Zhao Ya made it clear in the letter that if his subordinates really rebelled, he should not insist on it anymore and withdraw from the northern snowfield as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xiangdong shook his head.
"I don't plan to leave for the time being."
Yang Zhan had actually expected this answer.
After all, Kong Xiangdong "endured humiliation" to the point of not killing the person who betrayed him in order to verify his guess. How could he leave so easily?
"How long do you plan to wait?" Yang Zhan asked.
Kong Xiangdong looked up at Yang Zhan and suddenly smiled, "If you have something to do, you can leave on your own. You don't have to stay here and suffer."
"I think too much." Yang Zhan also smiled, "What can I do? I just want to ask when this farce will end!"
"Soon, no matter how abnormal the climate is, it has its limits. Now it is late autumn, and it will be winter in a few days. By then, it should be time to see the outcome." Kong Xiangdong said.
"Okay, then I will accompany you until then, and see what this Wuwang Sea is so abnormal, what exactly it wants to do." Yang Zhan said.
Looking at Yang Zhan, who looked serious, Kong Xiangdong was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. The alcohol consumption during this period cannot be exempted." Yang Zhan said half-truthfully.
Although they retreated to the front of the Great Snow Mountain, Yang Zhan's tavern was still open, the only difference was that the business location was changed to a tent.
Even because many seafarers had nothing to do, the turnover was even higher than when they were at the beach.
The alcohol consumed every day was a considerable amount.
Kong Xiangdong laughed, "Of course, none of my men eat for free, and I will give you 30% more wine money for my share."
"That's what you said." Yang Zhan said with a smile.
"Nonsense, can I still cheat you of this little wine?"
"Okay, since you are so straightforward, I just happened to have a jar of 30-year-old wine under my hand. I'll take it out later. How about we drink together?" Yang Zhan said with a smile.
Kong Xiangdong's eyes lit up, "What are you waiting for? Go get it. I know you have good stuff, but you just keep crying poor and refuse to give it to me."
"No way. If I hadn't cried poor, you would have drunk this jar of wine long ago. How could you wait until now?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go get it!"
Soon, the wine was brought over. After opening the cork, a strong aroma of wine instantly spread. Kong Xiangdong even sneezed several times.
You don't even need to drink it. Just by the aroma, you can tell that this wine is extraordinary.
The two of them also threw away the politeness and started to drink from cup to cup.
While they were drinking the wine, Liu Shiyi, who was behind a snow hill more than ten miles away from the camp, had half of his cheek swollen and was slurring his words, but he still directed people to build a snow house.
This is the simplest and easiest house on the snowfield.
The raw materials are everywhere. As long as there are enough people, a large number of houses can be built soon.
After it was finally done, the group of people finally had a place to stay.
There were dry food and drinks in the packages they carried with them, so they didn't have to worry about food.
But everyone was a little depressed.
After all, they were directly driven out.
This humiliation mixed with regret, fear and other complex emotions made these people confused.
Liu Shiyi was no exception, but he knew that he had to cheer up at this time, otherwise it would be more difficult for everyone to recover.
So he coughed lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, now we have a safe place to stay. Let's take a day off first. Let's go to the beach tomorrow. When we find enough seafood, I don't believe that Kong Xiangdong's men won't be jealous."
At this point, Liu Shiyi's eyes showed a hint of resentment.
"The deterrence of violence is always temporary, only interests are eternal."
"When we have a huge amount of wealth, it will be the day when Kong Xiangdong's men fall apart."
These words seemed to cheer everyone up, and at the same time, they seemed to comfort themselves.
But no matter what, after his words, people's emotions finally stabilized gradually.
After all, their original purpose was to obtain more wealth, and now they have achieved their wish. If you think about it carefully, it is not a purely bad thing.
The small disturbance in Wuwang Sea has come to an end. Let's not talk about how Liu Shiyi led people to the seaside to pick up seafood, just talk about Canglong Temple thousands of miles away.
Today, Zhao Ya received two unexpected surprises.
The first is that under his unremitting efforts, the progress of brain unlocking finally increased by one percent, reaching ninety-nine percent.
When he saw the prompt at that time, even Zhao Ya was a little excited.
No other reason.
It was really too difficult to unlock the brain.
For this one percent progress, Zhao Ya tried his best, not only draining all the blood and flesh resources he could get, but also sweeping away all the evil beasts within a thousand miles.
But even so, Zhao Ya still spent several months to finally improve the unlocking progress to the point of being promoted.
The second good news came from the outside world. Someone from the Machinery Sect came, and also brought a batch of things that he had commissioned them to make before.
"Master, the things are here, please check them!" Several disciples of the Machinery Sect said respectfully.
This is not only because of Zhao Ya's identity as the master of Canglong Temple, but also because of his relationship with the Machinery Sect.
You should know that the senior brothers of the three major departments of Thunder and Fire, Heavenly Works, and Wonderful Skills of the Machinery Sect almost all have a good relationship with Zhao Ya.
Especially Jing Rou from the Thunder and Fire Department specifically asked them to be nicer before they came.
Zhao Ya smiled and nodded, and handed over a few packets of dried meat.
"Thank you for your hard work, junior brothers. Eat something first, and leave the rest to our Canglong Temple."
These disciples of the Mechanical Sect were naturally overjoyed.
Although their main business is to study the art of mechanical engineering, their own cultivation is also extremely important.
And as long as they practice, they cannot do without dried meat.
And the packets of dried meat handed over by Zhao Ya, you can know that they are not ordinary products without opening them.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao!"
These little disciples are also quite well-behaved and sensible, and immediately changed their words to call Zhao Ya Senior Brother.
Zhao Ya nodded, then reached out and untied the ropes and oilcloth on the carriage.
The whole action was skillful and natural, after all, Zhao Ya started his career with this.
Under the oilcloth were a dozen neatly stacked large boxes, and on top of it was a rather exquisite long small box.
There was a seal on the box, with the words "Zhao Ya's personal seal" written on it.
"This was specially installed for you by Senior Brother Jing when you left, saying it was a gift for you."
A gift for me? Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
But from the size of this long box, Zhao Ya suddenly had some guesses.
Could it be that!
Could it really be made?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little excited, and immediately took the small box down, without saying hello, and turned around and left.
When they came to a secluded place in the back mountain, Zhao Ya carefully tore off the seal and opened the box.
There was a firearm inside.
This firearm was more than one meter long, with a delicate shape, and many key parts resembled the sniper rifles of later generations.
There was even something like a scope above the bolt.
Zhao Ya couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and reached out to take it out of the box.
Bolt, bolt, barrel...
Zhao Ya fiddled with the firearm over and over again, and his eyes became more and more fiery.
As expected, it is a mechanical sect. I just mentioned it casually when communicating with Jing Rou, but I didn't expect that he would take it seriously and make it.
Moreover, no matter the material or workmanship, it is not inferior to the sniper rifles of later generations.
I just don't know how powerful it is?
Zhao Ya fiddled with it for a while with great interest, then put it down, and then took out a pack of bullets and a letter from the box.
The letter was written by Jing Rou to him. The meaning was very simple. It was nothing more than that he was greatly inspired after seeing the idea of sniper rifle mentioned by Zhao Ya.
It happened that he had a pattern of a newly developed miracle creation in his hand, so he made it.
At the end of the letter, Jing Rou said with satisfaction that this gun had reached a new height in terms of power and accuracy.
Even the cross crossbow newly developed by Qijike was far inferior to it.
The only drawback is that it is difficult to decipher the pattern of the strange creation, which makes it difficult to mass produce.
Otherwise, there would be no strange technology department.
Zhao Ya automatically blocked Jing Rou's boasting, put away the letter, opened the bullet bag, and took out a bullet from it.
The bullet is made of unknown metal, and it is engraved with extremely dense and complex patterns.
Push the bullet into the magazine and pull the bolt, then Zhao Ya raised the gun and began to aim.
This sight is certainly not as clear as the later generations. Even if the principle of the telescope is very simple, it is nothing more than a few lenses superimposed, but although the mechanical sect is very strong in mechanical manufacturing, it has never been able to produce qualified and usable glass lenses.
The sight used by the gun in Zhao Ya's hand at this time is actually made of high-quality natural crystal.
But even so, there will inevitably be errors.
But this is not a problem for Zhao Ya.
Now he can see the target hundreds of meters away with his eyesight, so this sight is actually dispensable for him.
Soon, after aiming at the target, Zhao Ya pulled the trigger directly.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Zhao Ya felt as if his shoulder was hit hard by an elephant.
This was only him. If it were someone else, this would be enough to break his shoulder.
What a huge recoil!
Zhao Ya was also shocked, but his eyes were fixed on the target in the distance.
The next moment, 500 meters away, a target about the height of a person exploded.
Not only that, even the hard rocks behind were blown into many pits.
Hiss!
Even Zhao Ya couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at this time.
It seems that Jing Rou was not bragging in the letter. With the power and range of this gun, if it can really be mass-produced, there will be no chance for Qijike.
Then Zhao Ya was excited to test fire a few rounds, and found that within the range of one kilometer, both the power and accuracy reached a terrifying height.
And after exceeding one kilometer, its deviation is not too large, and its power will only decrease after exceeding two kilometers.
If the number of bullets is not limited, Zhao Ya really wants to have a good time.
Because this is completely different from the blow of martial arts.
Imagine that you hide behind the bushes and gently pull the trigger to knock down the target one kilometer away.
What kind of feeling is this?
At least Zhao Ya feels very good.
At the same time, he also said sorry in advance to the warriors who will die under this gun in the future.
After all, a warrior, even if he has not opened his meridians and is only at the fifth level, still has to go through a long and arduous training.
But you have worked hard for more than ten years and finally made some achievements, but you were directly killed by a bullet from a kilometer away.
Even if this bullet is worth a lot of money, it is still a crushing blow.
In the end, Zhao Ya put away the gun and bullets with reluctance, and decided to carry them with him when he went out in the future.
Because this way, his last shortcoming was made up.
He could shoot from a distance, punch and kick at close range, and if it didn't work, he could still use thunder bombs.
In addition, he had poisonous Tao for group attacks, swordsmanship for singles, as well as the extraordinary light skills and the almost perverted golden body horizontal training. He could be said to have maxed out long-range attacks, close combats, defenses, etc., and could be called a hexagonal warrior.
Zhao Ya thought about what would happen if he met someone like him on the battlefield, and the only conclusion he came to was to run as far as possible and never provoke him.
Only then did Zhao Ya feel relieved.
After putting the gun away and returning to the front, everyone had already unloaded everything from the carriage and was counting the number.
In the box, they saw that it was all wrapped in oilcloth, and it was all brand new cross crossbows.
This was also the latest product of the Mechanical Sect's Qiji Department. Once it was launched, Zhao Ya immediately wrote a letter to order 5,000 sets.
As a result, Liang Xin'an wrote back and asked why didn't you just order 100,000 sets?
You know, this thing is extremely difficult to process. Just making a set of crossbow pieces requires a master at least three days. Even if the guard dogs of the Mechanical Sect were counted as labor, they couldn't make 5,000 sets.
After a round of bargaining, Zhao Ya "reluctantly" reduced the number to 300 sets.
Now is the first batch of goods delivered.
