Chapter 1221: Weapon Apprentice

Lu Shu thought about it. What did the Wei Wu Army most urgently need now? It was probably an immediate communication device.
The Flood of Bronze had been considering this problem as well. However, the method they used was more advanced. For example, they integrated a communication function inside their helmets.
But this method might not work as well in the Luniverse, as there might not be wireless connection like on Earth. Furthermore, the scope of Pract.i.tioner attacks was too large. Communication devices might fall off very easily.
The Heavenly Network had personally tested this. The speed and combat power of a Rank Two expert was far beyond what one had imagined. It was very common for communication devices to drop off during battles.
But what if Lu Shu asked Ouyang Lishang to solve this problem at its core? For example, what if he created the helmet to include this function?
After all, Ouyang Lishang was the creator of the messenger mirror. It would not be difficult for him to resolve this problem.
Although Lu Shu could use the Treaty of Alliance to relay information and orders, the problem was, he was not adept at commanding.
According to what Zhang Weiyu and the rest had said, when the old King of G.o.ds was deeply absorbed in commanding, he would be invincible against the rest of the Luniverse.
But the old King of G.o.ds was the old King of G.o.ds. Lu Shu had self-awareness.
He definitely could not be swayed by personal emotions at times like this. A wrong decision could cause injuries in the Wei Wu Army.
Zhang Weiyu was not willing to continue being in charge of commanding, as he felt that he was too soft-hearted. He could not watch his comrades die because of his decisions.
Thus, Lu Shu eventually gave the authority to the original commander of the Black Feather Army, Li Liang.
When Lu Shu sent this request to Ouyang Lishang, Ouyang Lishang immediately patted his chest and ensured that it was easy. There would not be any problems.
To Ouyang Lishang, this was far too easy. He did not understand why Lu Shu said that it might be difficult, until he found out that there were over ten thousand helmets to refine…
Even if he was able to produce one helmet in an average of ten minutes, he would have to take a very long time to finish this…
“G.o.d Lu, are you exploiting me…” Ouyang Lishang was about to cry.
Lu Shu corrected him. “I said that I am Lu Shu, not G.o.d Lu. But if you feel that you are not able to handle it, I can help you to find apprentices. But you have to teach them how to refine weapons.”
The Earth had little experience in terms of refining weapons. Although the Heavenly Network was able to refine standard weapons, these weapons were a far cry from the tridents. They were not up to standard.
Thus, Lu Shu immediately had an idea. He would pa.s.s down the method for refining weapons to the Heavenly Network through Ouyang Lishang.
Lu Xiaoyu had been worried, but Lu Shu had been worried as well. What if they never returned?
But could he not go to the Luniverse because of this concern? Would the mastermind stop if he did not go?
Probably not.
After Zhong Yutang obtained information from Lu Shu, he immediately formed a group of professional refiners to come to Luo City. Before this, they were all in the Capital.
They drove over and brought countless research equipment and instruments. These were the most advanced technologies in the cultivation realm.
At first, these professionals did not know what they were here for. The entire process had been kept secret. Their original jobs were also cla.s.sified. After all, the large organizations put focus on refining weapons. The Heavenly Network was also worried about the potential for their research to be leaked.
When they came to the Longmen Fortress, the professionals were rather proud. Although they were not very strong, their knowledge pa.s.sed down from ancient times represented their position. Even in this era, as long as you had actual knowledge, you would be respected by everyone else.
They occupied a decent position in the Heavenly Network. This time, they were hurried to the Longmen Fortress. On the way, they were not even told of the reason why. The professionals were slightly unhappy.
When they reached the Longmen Fortress, they were informed that they would become apprentices. They were shocked. “Who has the right to make us apprentices?”
They were not acting. This was a widely accepted fact in the cultivation realm. The standard weapons in the Heavenly Network were the best in the world!
The professionals looked at one another helplessly. It was as if they had been humiliated. Of course, some of them went into deep thought. A veteran with white hair smiled and said, “Do you think that Heavenly King Nie is foolish? If he has asked us to become apprentices, this person definitely has the right. You have something to learn from everyone. Don’t go backwards the more you live.”
“That makes sense, but I don’t think that anyone can be stronger than us,” said someone.
“Stay calm.” The veteran was not angry, even after being rejected. He said, “If I were able to learn the truth in the morning, I would not be afraid to die at night. I simply want to see the greater world of refining weapons. Everything else is not important.”
At this moment, they saw Lu Shu in front of them. One of them suddenly asked, “Why does he seem so familiar? Are we becoming his apprentices?”
Lu Shu took out the bronze lamp. Ouyang Lishang appeared in a flurry of smoke. He coldly said, “I have seen the weapons you have refined. They are mere trash. Furthermore, your equipment have too many unnecessary parts. There are too many diversions. You are using the roundabout way?”
Was he questioning science? They were not too happy “No matter what industry you are in, you should not use your lack of knowledge to question our best achievements. Even if we explain science to you, you will not understand, but you have to respect science.”
Ouyang Lishang smiled and said, “I have seen your papers and research. I also understand the word ‘science’. You are right, we have to respect science. But what does science mean? Let me explain. Science is the use of truths or definitions that have been discovered, collected, and publicly accepted. Science is knowledge that has been systemized and consolidated into formulas. You have not even stepped through the door with your current knowledge.”
As Ouyang Lishang spoke, he touched a helmet with his finger. It was as if he had used a secret method on the helmet. Complicated and beautiful patterns suddenly emerged on the surface of the originally plain helmet. It was as if magma was flowing through the helmet!
“You have not learned how to look at this world that is full of magical energy. So, focus on being apprentices.” Ouyang Lishang calmly said, “Of course, I also hope to obtain scientific perspectives from you. After all, I am also extremely interested in this world.”
When the veteran saw the helmet in Ouyang Lishang’s hands, he was obsessed. “So this is how you refine weapons!”
Everyone looked at Ouyang Lishang in a new light. His calm expression was full of mystery and great confidence. This was a true master of refining weapons!
But at that moment, Ouyang Lishang’s expression changed. He jeered at Lu Shu. “Great Lord, what do you think?”
Their impression of Ouyang Lishang collapsed. He was just currying favor…
