Chapter 1729: Technology and Magic
"My younger brother Ninth doesn't know that the alliance of Western countries invaded the northern part of our Purple East Empire!"
Xiahou Haotian sighed helplessly.
Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at him. After hearing his words, he knew why the Majesty of the Zidong Empire wanted to see him.
Xiahou Haotian continued: "Our Zidong Empire has not had a great war for millions of years. Although there have been occasional frictions with the strange demons in the north, those are just small fuss."
"This time, the Western countries want to use technology to intervene into the core of our Purple East Continent's cultivation, so our entire Purple East Continent's cultivators are strongly opposed, and my father is the same."
"We sent our generals of the Baili family, the general of our Zidong Empire. Baili Zhanxiong led a million generals to guard the guards to the north, to resist the invasion of Western countries!"
"A few days ago, the alliance army of the Western countries began to invade and attack on our north, and General Baili Zhanxiong led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to resist. As a result, before he saw the alliance army of the Western countries, he was killed by their long-range artillery fire!"
Speaking of this, Xiahou Haotian had sharp eyes and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Western technology is developed. They developed magic cannons with the crystal core of monsters. Unless only masters who have entered the realm of transformation can barely resist the power of this magic cannon."
"But most of the ordinary soldiers of our Zidong Empire are only in the realms of Earth, Tianxuan, etc., and only a few generals have broken through the fifth realm and entered the realm of transformation."
"Although the veteran General Baili Zhanxiong has entered the realm of Taoism, he is old and has made mistakes in his cultivation. Now his combat power has retreated to the seventh level of the transformation and the eighth level of the heaven!"
"But the outside world does not know that the people of our Zidong Empire all believe that the veteran General Baili Zhanxiong will be able to resist the invasion of Western countries. Alas, we didn't know that before we met the alliance army of the Western countries, we were already defeated."
"The father-in-law did not announce this battle, for fear of affecting the people and causing unnecessary panic, and at the same time, it caused some Western people to cause trouble in the imperial capital."
After hearing what Xiahou Haotian said in one breath, Jiang Chen nodded and understood.
Ziyun Star is very big, just like the Earth in the backland, with southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. The Zidong Continent is equal to our Asia and China, while the West is equal to Europe and other countries.
What's even more amazing is that Western countries are divided into dozens of small countries, just like those of European countries, but what they invented is technology and magic! The Western technology field is very strong. Their technology warships can fly out of the Ziyun Star Domain and control another star domain. They even rely on technology and magic to achieve terrifying combat power.
For example, the magical and technological armor we developed, as long as ordinary people wear it and train it, the strongest armor can be matched with powerful people in the Taoist realm.
Therefore, the alliance troops of the Western countries basically wear this kind of armor. The combat power of ordinary armor can match the generals and soldiers of the Zidong Empire who broke through the fifth realm.
What they are stronger is the magic laser cannon. This kind of artillery fire has a huge long-range power and can basically attack through long-range attacks. Therefore, the combat methods of the alliance forces of the Western countries have been modernized.
But the combat method of the Zidong Empire was still in the era of cold weapons, so before they met the Alliance Army of the Western Kingdoms, they were bombarded with tens of thousands of soldiers and generals by other people's magic cannons.
Western technology is very powerful. Even some people in the Zidong Continent use daily technology developed by Western countries. For example, many of the high-rise buildings in the imperial capital are modern technology, and the Zidong Empire did not object to these civilian technologies.
However, in Western countries, a tech maniac named Jobchard discovered that through technology, it can also combine the runes of the East and the mystery of the monks' runes, and can also develop an energy.
Therefore, the Das Empire where Jobchard is located suggested that by using the mystery of runes of the East and working together to develop this energy, it can replace magic energy.
Therefore, the president of the Das Empire united other Western countries and visited the Zidong Empire to meet Xiahou Wuliang. He made this suggestion, and then Xiahou Wuliang refused it.
After all, in the eyes of practitioners, Western technology is just something that is strange and lewd, and it cannot be put on the table. Now they require the combination of the runes and secrets of practitioners with their technology to create a new combat system, which is simply an insult to the practitioners.
Therefore, the negotiations collapsed. Western countries believe that only by conquering the cultivators of Zidong Continent with technology through war can we prove that technology is the most powerful existence in the world, so this war is present! "Our empire has not had a great war for a million years. Now the old general Baili Zhanxiong is entering his twilight years, and no one among our empire's generals can inherit the important tasks of his general. Therefore, my father and others are worried that this war with the Western countries will be harmful to our entire Zidong Continent."
Xiahou Haotian sighed and said.
Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
The two returned to Zidong Academy. Jiang Chen returned to his residence, but saw Ye Qianqian and the old dean erecting a bonfire by the pond, roasting the flesh and blood of a seventh-level monster Yuehua Qinglu. Chen Mu and Song Yulian, Fan Qi and Tieqi, even the eldest and second senior brothers Ke Yike and Liu Yuanbai were there, but the third senior brother Mo Shi was not interested in this.
"Girl Qianqian, are you okay?"
The old dean is like an old naughty boy, without any stature of being the best man in Zidong Continent.
He watched Ye Qianqian grill the flesh and blood of the moonlit green deer in the fire, emitting an attractive aroma, and the grease squeaked on the flames, successfully seducing the old dean's stomach to eat insects.
Song Yulian stood beside him, looking at the teacher's appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile, knowing that she was a foodie.
"Okay, old dean, I'll give this to you."
Ye Qianqian handed the roasted barbecue skewers to the old dean. He then took a bite immediately. His old eyes were shiny and he said excitedly: "It's delicious, girl, why are you more fragrant than the meat roasted by that boy Jiang Chen?"
"Hehe, because Junior Brother Jiang doesn't make it often and I eat it every day, I've developed a new barbecue recipe myself."
Ye Qianqian smiled and said proudly.
Although this barbecue was taught by Jiang Chen, except for the few times he roasted in Xuandao Palace, he taught Ye Qianqian that he was roasted by this girl. Therefore, Ye Qianqian, a foodie in the secret realm, has her cultivation level improved by eating various monsters' flesh and blood.
Therefore, her barbecue skills are now better than Jiang Chen.
"It's not bad, it's delicious..." Ke Yike, Liu Yuanbai, Fan Qi and Tieqi and other senior brothers tasted the barbecue and nodded and praised it.
After eating one skewer after another, the old dean said, "Girl, you will make barbecue for me in the future, would you like to eat it?"
Ye Qianqian's eyes lit up and she said, "Does the old dean want to accept me as a disciple?"
These words made Ke Yike and Liu Yuanbai, Tieqi, Fan Qi, Song Yulian and other senior brothers and sisters stunned. The old dean smiled at Ye Qianqian and said, "It's not possible yet, but depending on your performance in the future, I might be able to accept you as the tenth disciple."
"Really, thank you, the old dean."
Ye Qianqian thanked happily, and then she frowned and pouted, "Then will I become Junior Brother Jiang's junior sister in the future?"
Seeing this girl so cute, everyone laughed.
Jiang Chen and Xiahou Haotian came back, and everyone greeted him...
