Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Since Li Gan was busy, Zhou Xu had no intention of disturbing his work. After explaining all the things to be explained, he left the forging department.

In fact, after successfully smelting steel, they will immediately have a new project to study, which is to study the smelting of sharp crystal and steel to refine a new alloy, which can then be used to cast new enchanted weapons. .

Of course, there is no rush on this matter at this stage.

Because as their internal strength in the Great Zhou Dynasty continues to increase, it is no longer possible to equip every soldier with enchanted weapons.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu had already made plans to equip only elite troops with enchanted weapons in the future.

Under this premise, he is not in a hurry to update the existing crystal iron weapons.

Compared with crystal iron weapons, the weapons of the ordinary soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were first upgraded to steel weapons in all aspects, which would undoubtedly improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness even more.

In this way, according to Zhou Xu's current thinking, he will first complete the upgrading of ordinary weapons, and then proceed with the upgrading of enchanted weapons.

With this coming and going, an afternoon has basically passed. By the time Zhou Xu returned to the imperial study, Huo Qubing had already processed all the documents sent in the afternoon and was typing next to the stove in the imperial study. Tai Chi.

This was allowed by Zhou Xu. Considering Huo Qubing's physical condition, he still had to exercise more frequently.

When he saw Zhou Xu coming back, Huo Qubing subconsciously wanted to salute, but Zhou Xu stopped him first.

"Keep practicing and don't worry about me."

While talking, Zhou Xu had already taken off his fur cloak and sat back at his desk to look through the documents that had been piled up in batches.

These documents were all corrected by Huo Qubing. What he has to do now is basically to read them over. If there is a problem with Huo Qubing's handling method, then correct them. This is much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than having all of them reviewed by himself. too much.

This also made Zhou Xu feel quite good recently.

Ever since Huo Qubing entered the Imperial Study Room, he was no longer afraid of not being able to finish the day's work due to an accident.

At the same time, Zhang Xuemei, who had already received the transfer order as early as the end of summer, could see the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty along the way.

Zhang Xuemei, who passed through the energy channel and felt the transformation of heaven and earth, arrived in the mountains in a blink of an eye. Before she had time to exclaim, the huge hot air balloon placed near the garrison camp attracted her attention first. force.

Yan Sheng was also developing a hot air balloon earlier, but it was never successful. She knew this. At that time, the other party also gathered several of their time-travelers together to discuss the reasons for the failure.

But no one could tell the reason, after all, none of them had studied this.

Even if they have a little understanding, they probably only caught one or two glances while surfing the Internet. They can't even be sure whether the two glances they caught are reliable.

Yan Sheng is not a good person. If they put forward an idea and finally succeed, then it is better to say that if they fail, there is no guarantee what will happen.

But Zhang Xuemei didn't expect that Dazhou had successfully developed it, and that she would have to fly over the mountains at her feet in a hot air balloon, which made Zhang Xuemei feel a little nervous.

The safety of the hot air balloon was repeatedly confirmed.

"Don't worry, Director Zhang. When we were conducting training in the past, we flew in this hot air balloon every day. His Majesty also flew over the mountains in a hot air balloon before."

The operator's words made Zhang Xuemei feel a little relieved.

However, from the moment she got on the hot air balloon to the moment it took off, her whole heart was still hanging in her throat unconsciously.

Until a mysterious tone penetrated her ears.

At that moment, Zhang Xuemei subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. Inside the hot air balloon, she saw the operator with a serious look on his face. The special tones he kept uttering from his mouth turned into invisible energy and enveloped the hot air balloon.

This situation couldn't help but make Zhang Xuemei a little confused, and even forgot the tension in her heart for a while.

"Did you just cast your mantra?"

"Yes."

The operator nodded calmly.

"With the blessing of the power of mantra, the hot air balloon can fly faster and more smoothly."

There was nothing wrong with the operator's answer, but Zhang Xuemei's mind was a little confused. That was not what she cared about!

As the Chosen One, she certainly knew about the existence of mantra, and she had even discovered two mantra characters before.

However, under Yan Sheng's rule before, the existence of the mantra was like contraband. Once the mantra was discovered, it had to be handed over as soon as possible. Except for himself, no matter who held the mantra, it was a capital crime!

Judging from Zhou Xu's previous behavior, she originally thought that the same was true for Zhou Xu.

And Zhang Xuemei can also understand that after all, mantra represents extraordinary power. As a ruler, he must be worried that someone with extraordinary power will appear under his rule and shake his rule.

Who would have thought that as soon as she turned around, she would find that the citizens of Dazhou were actually practicing the mantra calmly under her nose.

Coupled with the way the other party was surprised to see her and even explained it to her, it made her look like an ignorant country bumpkin.

But that’s the truth! Can the people here in Da Zhou use it casually? !

Zhang Xuemei couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

In this regard, the two hot air balloon operators have nothing to hide.

"Every operator who has obtained a hot air balloon operating certificate has this mantra. It was given to us by His Majesty. It is not surprising."

"In addition, there are also people from the Census Bureau. Their mantras can reveal people's talents. They can tell at a glance what you are suitable for and how capable you are. There are also messengers. Their mantras can increase speed. , allowing them to deliver messages faster..."

Speaking later, the hot air balloon operators even mentioned blessings.

Throughout the whole process, every time His Majesty was mentioned to them, the expressions on their faces were one of reverence.

Zhang Xuemei had to lament that compared to Yan Sheng, this emperor was indeed more powerful and more popular.

In addition, some internal situations in Da Zhou completely subverted her understanding.

It is not difficult to tell from what the operator just said that they all hold the same mantra.

As a time traveler with three-star intelligence, Zhang Xuemei's mind is still very flexible, and she soon realized that Zhou Xu might have some special means that could allow multiple people to obtain the same mantra power at the same time.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the people of Da Zhou regard him as a god. After all, even she feels this way.
