Chapter 131 News
However, the Yuanqi energy device is not perfect.
At least this most basic Bafang Pagoda has a certain distance limit in terms of Yuan Qi transmission. The genuine Bafang Pagoda can transmit Yuan Qi up to ten kilometers without loss. The defective product only has seven kilometers.
Beyond this distance, Yuan Qi will be lost.
This loss is not other losses, but after exceeding this distance, Yuan Qi will gradually break away from the limitations of the Yuan Qi energy device and scatter between heaven and earth.
After a hundred miles, there is no more.
But for Ying Yi, there was basically no obstacle. It's just the distance. Not to mention that there will be higher-level energy devices in the future. Even the current ones with distance defects can be easily solved - just build a few more.
When conditions permit in the future, one energy device will be built in each city, or even one in each village. As long as the Yuanfu system becomes popular, it's just materials, just steel, nothing.
Of course, these are all long-term expectations. There is no possibility of operation at the moment.
Next, what Ying Yi wants to create is the breeding element.
The external form of the breeding element is like a big bell buckled on the ground, but without the bell button. Compared with the Yuanqi energy device, the breeding device is much larger.
The thickness of the Energy Device Octagonal Tower is required to be higher, so after it is completed, it will only be no more than ten feet high and no more than five feet in diameter. The breeding element covers an area of just over thirty feet in diameter, which is ten feet. About one hundred square meters.
It is only one-sixth of an inch thick and does not require any load-bearing columns, so it is still difficult to build.
But no matter how difficult it is to build, it can't compare to the difficulty of inscribing the Yuan Talisman. In the manufacturing of Yuan Qi, Yuan Fu is the foundation. Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of experience when building the energy device before, which made Ying Yi familiar with the inscribed Yuan Fu countless times, and it was built in only five days!
During these five days, craftsmen dug deep pits and buried the energy device underground. The breeding element is built on the ground where the energy device is buried.
Yuan Qi is a magical existence. When the breeding Yuan Qi is completed, the Yuan symbols on all the combination plates are combined into one, and the faint light flickers, but it is restrained for a moment.
The completion of the breeding element made Ying Yi breath a sigh of relief. July has arrived.
Ten days before, now five days, half a month, two Yuanqi.
The crop seeds have already been transported to Crescent Valley and are ready.
The crop seeds finally delivered to Crescent Valley included 40,000 stone wheat seeds and 10,000 stone rice seeds. Previously, there were 30,000 stones, which were entrusted to Zheng's Trading Company to purchase, but because the time was too short, only 10,000 stones were purchased.
Ying Yi is now ready to operate the breeding operation.
At this time, Zhang Si returned in a hurry.
"Lord!"
Zhang Si is the Ying Yi he met in front of the breeding element. He expressed surprise at this building with dense cloud patterns that looked like a giant bell touching the ground.
But he didn't have any more energy to pay attention to the breeding elements. After beating his chest and clasping his fists, he said: "Lord, there is an urgent military situation!"
Ying Yi's expression changed: "Speak here."
When they reached a deserted place, Ying Yi said, "Tell me, what's the military situation?"
These days, he occasionally noticed the increase in the number of true spirits, and knew that Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu and others had small-scale battles with the bandits.
As for the military situation, it was already expected.
Then I heard Zhang Sidao: "Lord, there are two things. First, there are two troops moving under the command of the intruder. One of them is heading south, and the other is heading west."
He said it urgently, and he couldn't help but take a few breaths after he finished speaking.
"oh."
Ying Yi suddenly had an idea: "How many men and horses are there in each of the two groups of thieves? Who is the leader?"
Zhang Sidao: "The movement of bandits and troops occurred this morning, and the specific situation has not yet been discovered. However, the approximate number of bandits has been estimated. The total number of bandits heading west plus cannon fodder followers exceeds 100,000, and there are more than 50,000 heading south. "
Ying Yi nodded slightly and said, "What about the second one?"
Zhang Sidao: "Congratulations, my lord! A good report has come from Kaifeng. The governor's office and the capital's commander's office have appointed my lord as the commander of the Nanyang Guard. The official document has been sent to Yuzhou."
"oh?"
Ying Yi was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "So you have contacted Kaifeng?"
Zhang Sidao: "My lord is wise. Ye Bushou broke into Kaifeng more than ten days ago and made contact with the city."
"Commander Wei... Haha, it's a good investment." Ying Yi smiled, and from the corner of his eyes, he realized that his Humanity Qi had increased by 3,000, reaching over 9,000!
It doesn't matter to Ying Yi if his official position is promoted, but the increase in energy brought by the official position makes Ying Yi extremely happy.
He smiled and said: "I know, it is indeed gratifying, but that's all."
Then he said: "Go back immediately and tell Zhu Bingkun and others to strictly investigate the movements of the thieves. Pay attention to whether there are any movements of imperial soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Let Zhu Bingkun and others be more cautious and not to underestimate the thieves."
"Here!"
Ying Yi added: "I still have some things to deal with here, and I won't go to the front line in about three days."
After sending Zhang Si away, Ying Yi thought to himself for a long time.
At present, the imperial edict has not yet arrived, and Ying Yi has not yet received the benefits, and does not want to immediately go to war with the intruders. However, Kaifeng gave some benefits in advance.
"It seems that some people in Kaifeng are still thinking about it. If he promotes me to the commander of the guards at this time, then Emperor Chongzhen should at least give me the title of commander-in-chief. I don't know whether it is the commander-in-chief of Henan or the commander-in-chief of Huguang..." Ying Yi My heart turned: "That's what I want. How about a nice gesture..."
Then he laughed again: "Right now, the bandits are dividing their forces, one to the west and one to the south. If the pressure on Kaifeng City is reduced, it can be regarded as my contribution. Kaifeng gives me benefits, of course."
He still would not go to war, no matter what, he would have to wait until Emperor Chongzhen's imperial decree came down. It's been about twenty days since Zheng Yunzhi's report came, and he doesn't know how long it will take for him to respond.
After thinking in his mind, Ying Yi immediately began to breed and improve the seeds.
This is the top priority.
The breeding equipment covers an area of ten feet and is more than ten feet high. It can invest a thousand stones of seeds at a time. Opening the breeding element requires authority, and of course, Ying Yi has the highest authority.
Opening the entrance of the breeding element, I saw some hazy mist inside, emitting a shimmering light. Other than that, there is nothing.
There is no automatic thing, and transporting the seeds in requires manual labor.
Fortunately, there were many people, and it only took half an hour to put all the Qianshi seeds into the breeding element. Ying Yi closed the door, and then used his own authority to open the Yuan Fu interface to receive the Yuan Qi delivered by the underground energy device. For a moment, the breeding device made a slight buzz, and then fell silent.
The breeding element should be an existence that is extremely mysterious in nature but seems simple because of its basic level. Carrying the seeds depends entirely on manpower. However, after turning on the energy device and turning on the breeding element, a light curtain the size of a book is extended at the entrance. Anyone can see this light curtain.
The surprise and awe of Jiang Xi and others were like waves in the sea, rising and falling. They watched Ying Yi face a screen of light at the entrance and issued several instructions.
"Modification instructions: cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, short cycle, high yield."
