Chapter 421 You Can Also Call Me Haotian
"Is the person you are talking about Ji Qiong?"
"Yes, that guy was really smart. He was the one who discovered that spirit stones could be controlled. Back then, when he was still in our Mechanical Engineering Department, he discussed many issues with me. But, he must have died. Or maybe before he died, he wrote down all his ideas and passed them on to others?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The Heavenly Army cleared out the area and killed so many people. How could there still be survivors? Even if he's still alive, he can't possibly return to Jicheng..."
Listening to Lao Tong’s story, Bai Tian felt helpless. Why is there such a taboo as “that person” at this time?
It sounds like Ji Qiong was really powerful back then. It's a pity that I've never seen this person in the daytime. Or maybe I've seen him, but just didn't recognize him.
Regardless, the idea of controllable spirit stones had already appeared many years ago, and Zhuanxu and his men certainly knew about it. It's just unknown whether Zhuanxu and his men had a clear understanding of the phrase "controllable spirit stones."
From Ji Jun and Cang Shu's previous reports, as well as Zhang Hui's account, Bai Tian had a feeling that Zhuanxu might have known about it, but had deliberately suppressed it...
Bai Tian shook off his thoughts and whispered, "Lao Tong, I want to use the spirit stone as a force to push the piston. Then, the piston drives the gears and bearings to achieve automation..."
"That's what I call an engine. But I'm not sure if the engine I designed is reasonable. The principle is that the force bursts out to drive the piston..."
"I also have an idea for a high-pressure boiler, which is used for iron smelting. I only have a concept, but I don't know what the inside of a high-pressure boiler looks like."
"Oh, there's another one. I call it a steam engine..."
Listening to Bai Tian's endless chatter, Lao Tong and Tai Fu opened their eyes wide, and the group of people guarding outside couldn't help but come over, their ears perked up.
Pistons, bearings, engines?!
Suddenly, Lao Tong excitedly pressed the table: "Haotian, if we can really build this kind of engine, can it propel the flying boat we envisioned?"
"Yes!" Tai's father was also excited. "A flying boat. Even if we can't propel the flying boat, at least we can make the bicycle truly move on its own... No, no, we need bearings that can withstand the force. We need iron, we need higher-strength iron..."
"Is it possible that we could use the same method as refining equipment to create bearings, or even directly use refining equipment to create this engine..."
A group of people started talking, ignoring the existence of the day. They even started to quarrel.
Bai Tian actually likes this scope very much. The progress of science requires continuous exploration by a group of people.
Scientific exploration is actually no easier than cultivation...
There were still lights on in the Mechanical Institute until midnight.
He did not stay in the Mechanical Institute during the day, but returned to Tai Xi's home to rest.
My time at the Mechanical Engineering Institute brought back many modern memories, especially those about industry: steam engines, motors, circuits...
Of course, for many things, he only remembers a concept or principle. It would be impossible for him to actually create it himself.
In fact, he had already written a lot of things in the "Haotian Book", but unfortunately, after Cangjie died, no one seemed to be able to open the "Haotian Book". Even Cangjie could only see a little bit of the content.
During the day I always feel that I need to rewrite a new copy of "Haotian Book" or go back to the Taoist sect and tear down that "Haotian Book"...
beep!
The loud sound of a horn suddenly tore through the night sky and echoed throughout Jicheng.
Bai Tian’s brows suddenly furrowed, and his spiritual sense spread rapidly, covering the entire Ji City.
A ferocious beast attacks...
Um? wrong!
During the day, he sat up from the bed with interest, his eyes narrowed into a line.
But he did not rush out, he just sat quietly, still releasing his spiritual consciousness.
It's interesting. The city was attacked from behind, and the impact was quite significant. However, a group of people were leaving from the east...
This group of people acted really quickly and chose to evacuate that very night!
"Daytime, daytime." Nuying's shouting soon came from outside.
Bai Tian calmly got up and went to open the door. Nv Ying's eyes lit up with excitement: "There's a beast tide, they've all run away, let's go take a look."
Bai Tian yawned: "Then go... take Ying Qiu with you."
"Oh, you're not going?" Before Bai Tian could reply, Nv Ying had already run away. "Then I'm leaving. Ying Qiu, Ying Qiu, take me flying."
Bai Tian felt a little helpless as he watched Nu Ying riding Ying Qiu away into the night. Nu Ying was still too lively, which was not a good thing. She would definitely get into trouble if she looked back.
During the day, he continued to release his spiritual sense and could still sense the group heading east. He hesitated for a moment, then dodged and headed east...
In the dark night, a group of people were hurriedly crossing the city and running towards the east.
They were all dressed in black, and each of them carried something, including wooden boxes, bags, and other belongings. There were about fifty of them, but no mounts.
These people were all very strong, and everyone could fly, but none of them flew, they just ran quickly along the ground.
During the day, he appeared silently above the crowd and followed them quietly. He could clearly sense that many people were holding spirit stones, and in quite a lot.
Of course, most people were probably carrying newly developed weapons...
bang bang...
The muffled sound of fighting came from the north of the city, but the group of men in black below did not stop and kept running towards the east.
He had been floating high in the sky and following the crowd during the day, and the crowd never noticed his presence.
About an hour later, the group began to enter the forest. They were smart and knew that they were vulnerable to attacks in the forest at night, so they quickly found a quiet valley to stop.
This place is not far from Jicheng, but it is a bit remote and surrounded by dense woods, making it difficult to find them.
I think they had arranged this place a long time ago...
After waiting for a while, daylight fell silently from the sky and landed in the valley.
Just as they had expected during the day, they had actually dug a cave in the valley, and everyone was hiding inside the cave, and they even knew how to make a door out of grass. Of course, there were a few people guarding the door, and they were hiding in the grass.
As daytime appeared outside the valley, the few people hiding in the bushes immediately noticed it and jumped out of the bushes, whistling at the same time.
Soon, a group of people flew out of the cave and quickly surrounded Bai Tian.
Because the light was too dark, they couldn't see the face of the daytime person, but they confirmed that there was a person. And they were smart enough not to get too close, keeping a distance of about 20 meters.
"Who are you and how could you come here with us?" a man said in a gloomy voice.
Bai Tian smiled slightly and said, "My name is Bai Tian, you can also call me Hao Tian..." As he spoke, a faint golden light emanated from Bai Tian's body, just enough to illuminate his surroundings.
Then, the group of people surrounding him held their breath...
