Chapter 1311 662: Giant Que Project (2)
The Little Ox and Horse have been eating more and more recently, getting heavier and heavier. The original armored vehicle framework could barely support the operation of Dragon Blood and had to be expanded.
Since modifications are necessary anyway, it's best to take advantage of the abundant labor in Punabantu at the moment to get everything done at once, saving future patching and endless tinkering.
Ji Jue plans to take this opportunity to thoroughly upgrade, transferring the Dragon Blood that forms the consciousness of the Little Ox and Horse, along with the Unmoving as a Mountain blessing chain, from the original armor to the newly completed Prosperity.
Bird Cage Swapping.
Meanwhile, a brand new project will also be completed.
——[Giant Que Project]!
Ever since the last modification of Zanlu, Ji Jue has completely abandoned the noble traditions of the Nine Forms and the consciousness of a swordsmith. After numerous attempts, he gradually digested and understood the essence of the Nine Forms, and now plans to apply Giant Que to Prosperity!
Well, there are a few minor issues, but once they're truly resolved, it turns out they're not difficult at all.
After all, the proportions are right there.
The same carving, micro carving is certainly more trouble than stone carving. How could carving a whole sword inside a snail shell compare to building on the foundation and carrier of an entire ten-thousand-ton cargo ship? It's much easier and simpler.
It's just a matter of investing a bit more. However, the most troublesome part has already been solved by the Little Ox and Horse.
No need for true essence of Ruins Series that was melted from an entire line of Earth Veins. After all this time with Ji Jue's continuous feeding and the Little Ox and Horse's insatiable consumption of various materials, Dragon Blood is already capable of fulfilling this role, although it's still a bit lacking in volume. But that doesn't stop it from continuing to eat in the future!
It became bigger, simpler, and also weaker.
Want everything perfectly - this kind of good deal only happens in dreams. Ji Jue used Dragon Blood to solve the biggest problem, but the cost is that the Little Ox and Horse still have to continue eating and eating.
But even if it doesn't solve the problem, the Little Ox and Horse would still need to eat and eat, so why not let it eat to its heart's content?
In the Nine Forms theory, the defense of Giant Que is supreme, and it also relies on its scale. If it's just for covering a craftsman, then it's certainly an epic shell. But if expanded to cover the entire cargo ship, the difference in effectiveness is considerable.
Therefore, Ji Jue only referenced the theory and main principles, then proceeded to overhaul it heavily. In the past Ye Family, upon expressing a desire to change, he might have been thrown into the furnace to forge swords. It would have been considered outright rebellion.
But in the eyes of Ye Xian today, it's like receiving good news.
At last, he's learned to be adaptable.
She's not disappointed in entrusting the Nine Forms to Ji Jue as a teacher.
That's right, the Nine Forms are meant to be stepping stones. Once fully digested, understood, and mastered, they can be discarded at will, as easily as throwing away worn shoes.
Keeping it like an ancestor's shrine and worshipping morning and night, what's the point? Aren't there enough useless things like this?
For so many years, with the infighting between the first, second, and third branches, internal and external lines, legitimate and illegitimate quarrels, has any Grandmaster emerged?
It's downright embarrassing!
Change when needed, use when useful. What's not useful can sit aside. Whether it turns out good or bad, it's all a lesson, so act boldly.
Within the Nine Forms, Giant Que, as a product of the Ruins Series, is undoubtedly a perfect representation of Superior Ruins, as stable as a mountain when still and as fierce as a tsunami when erupting.
Though it pales in power output compared to Zanlu, in terms of defense, it is the top of the Nine Forms.
The phrase in the true teachings, [Roots below, Stars above], is no joke. A truly completed Giant Que, though it appears as a sword, is constantly in resonance with the earth and heavens, nearly becoming one with them.
The defensive capability of Unmoving as a Mountain and over eighty percent of counter-attack damage aside, through this resonance, it easily adjusts its mass, truly achieving being lighter than a feather and heavier than a mountain.
When light, it feels almost weightless, allowing the swordsmith to fly through the sky; when heavy, with countless tons descending from the heavens, the falling Giant Que can crush everything on the ground like a meteor, piercing through to the Netherworld below the present world.
Of course, that's the theory. Unfortunately, theory is just theory, everyone dreams... From the Eternal Dynasty to now, there hasn't been a single Giant Que that's melted so many Earth Veins during forging!
Giant Que isn't Pan Ying; it can't be re-tempered.
Back then, swordsmiths would make just a few, which scattered far and wide, never to be seen again.
Even in the Ye Family, not a single completed one exists... Although there are countless unclaimed Earth Veins worldwide, the key is extracting an entire, complete Earth Vein and tossing it into the furnace without it exploding. That difficulty is about the same as trying to cram an elephant into a refrigerator meant to sell bottled water and leave it there for three years only to take it out still alive and active.
This task is beyond a craftsman's reach, and even a Grandmaster couldn't be bothered...
They don't have some Three-phase Alchemy like this weird thing.
As for Ji Jue, he's not interested in some dream of achieving it all in one go. Besides wasting time and effort, it's not cost-effective, and if Punabantu's Earth Veins explode, what about the park?
How will his brothers even work?!
"Although it's theoretically feasible, predicting the actual effect is indeed quite difficult." Isis said slowly, "Considering your modular design and compatibility with other Superior Blessings, the defensive capabilities, while excellent, ultimately lack purity."
