Chapter 206: Chapter 203: Wind Turbine
"If the Spiritual Artifact Embryo I assemble satisfies you, may I ask you to continue to show me more characteristics of the materials?"
Gu Jinlai asked earnestly, "I’ve not read many books, nor have I ever directly observed the top sanctified inheritances related to the Holy Land. My knowledge is poor, and I hope to receive your guidance on this occasion."
"First, create your Spiritual Artifact Embryo,"
said the Artifact Spirit.
The Aries Star Lord among the creator-level figures of the Holy Land was relatively mild and benevolent, so much so that his Artifact Spirit was also approachable and agreeable.
This was also why many Heavenly Masters, knowing full well they had no chance of obtaining the Aries Star Palace’s inheritance, still came to try their luck.
Even without receiving any rewards, as long as they did not go to Hidden Dragon Pass and Shenglong Pass, they could consult the Artifact Spirit with questions continuously for one month, or even two to three months.
As long as they were not causing trouble or asking utterly elementary questions, the Artifact Spirit would generally provide answers.
This was equivalent to an almost creator-level existence giving hands-on guidance tirelessly.
The rarity of such an opportunity was self-evident.
Naturally, Gu Jinlai was not willing to let go of this chance.
His mind was filled with countless streams of information.
He pondered what kind of Spiritual Artifact Embryo to create that would satisfy the Artifact Spirit. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
The quality of a Spiritual Artifact, besides its strength, also prominently depended on its cost-effectiveness.
Just like pouring billions into biological research to create a creature that could withstand cold—a staggering invention, right?
But what if this invention could only be applied to mosquitoes?
To create mosquitoes that could live comfortably even in winter?
Then what’s the point of those billions invested?
Therefore, if his Spiritual Artifact Embryo is to be sensational, it must consider these issues...
"Hold on! I remember the Aries Star Palace is powered by the Thunder Power above the Sky Dome? The Heavenly Dragon Wood carries the Aries Star Palace to chase after Baofeng, converting Thunder Power into operational energy for the Aries Star Palace. When the energy is sufficient, the Heavenly Dragon Wood chooses to descend upon the Earth to open the Aries Star Palace, summoning nearby Heavenly Masters for assessment, so..."
Gu Jinlai suddenly understood.
What creation could be more superior than a practical Spiritual Artifact that aids the function of the Heavenly Dragon Wood and the operation of the Aries Star Palace?
So...
"The Spiritual Artifact I want to create is a wind power generator,"
Gu Jinlai declared.
"Materials."
The Artifact Spirit stated indifferently, "I will assemble them for you. You can ask me to assist you in the simulation, or you can directly simulate the assembly yourself."
"You’ll simulate?"
Gu Jinlai was momentarily taken aback.
"Heavenly Monarchs have become increasingly rare lately. You, having one of the only three Heavenly Monarch strengths I’ve seen in recent days..."
As the Artifact Spirit spoke, it glanced at Gu Jinlai: "And you’re a Heavenly Monarch with True Spirit Crystalization... Although your accumulation of Spiritual Sense is a bit lacking, your potential far exceeds the other two Heavenly Monarchs, so naturally, you can expect some preferential treatment."
"Thank you. Please assist me with the simulation,"
he replied.
"Agreed,"
answered the Artifact Spirit.
Wind power generator.
Gu Jinlai did not know how to make one.
But he had once visited the Yumen Wind Power Tourism Area, where the tour guide introduced him to a wealth of relevant information.
And when the others in the group went shopping and he was left waiting idly, he flipped through numerous descriptive books.
Thus, his mind contained the related knowledge.
While he pretended to mull it over, he focused his attention on the miniature being within his consciousness.
"Arise, my most formidable scientific research system. Use the materials I’ve diligently memorized during this period to assemble a groundbreaking wind power generator!"
As his thoughts moved, a beam of Qingguang entered the miniature being seated on the Qing Lian.
At once, a fast-paced montage of scenes unfolded.
It was like watching a movie accelerated thousands or tens of thousands of times.
Information about the wind power generator began to arise, not just from the Yumen Wind Power Tourism Area, but also from TV snippets, random educational videos he came across, and textual records from books—all the information rapidly converged.
It was as if he had spent years, even a decade, gathering this information, then used his significant foundational knowledge to thoroughly digest and understand it.
Then, there were the unique traits of the thousands of materials he had seen moments ago, including spiritual materials.
Generator materials, energy storage devices, output power...
Technical and material issues collided swiftly in his mind and were resolved at great velocity.
Eventually...
A completely new device slowly took shape in his mind.
"Everyone has a private space for rest. If the Spiritual Artifact you refine is not suitable to be made public, you can simply do so in your private space. Additionally, if you require any tools, you can let me know at any time. Back in the day, the Aries Star Palace housed thousands of Heavenly Masters, Great Heavenly Masters, and Heavenly Monarchs who lived and researched there, so every material and tool imaginable was available,"
the Artifact Spirit’s voice rang out once again.
"No need,"
Gu Jinlai responded: "I will now assemble the Spiritual Artifact."
"Now?"
The Artifact Spirit looked somewhat surprised.
"The materials you showed me are over a thousand kinds. Compared to others who can only choose from one or two sets, that is, one or two hundred kinds of materials to refine a Spiritual Artifact or nurture a Beast Taming, I already have too much of an advantage. Moreover, I already have a concept of a new type of Spiritual Artifact in my mind. Right now, it’s equivalent to directly taking it out."
Gu Jinlai said.
"However."
The Artifact Spirit nodded.
"First, I need you to simulate the materials and adjust their appearance as well..."
Gu Jinlai instructed.
"Should we block off the surroundings?"
The Artifact Spirit asked.
Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment.
If there were enough Heavenly Masters to assist, the development speed of Lingxiao City would inevitably increase again.
Artillery, Sword Heavy Cannons, and even machine guns and Short Range Defense Cannons would be produced at an extremely fast pace.
Furthermore, given his intention to make Lingxiao City into a new Heavenly Master’s Holy Land and to use the power of Heavenly Masters and Demon God Warriors to eradicate all Devils within the Qiantian Realm, it was quite necessary to show himself to the hundreds of Heavenly Masters present.
Martial Artists believe in the strong. So do Heavenly Masters.
Therefore, he directly said, "There’s no need."
"Okay."
The Artifact Spirit responded. According to Gu Jinlai’s description, it pointed with an ethereal hand, and numerous materials converged out of nothingness.
Of course, these materials, as they had not yet been imbued with spiritual essence, were still in a simulated state.
It was like entering all the accurate data models into a computer. Although not real yet, the effects were exactly the same.
A wind turbine is not high-tech technology.
Additionally, with the help of a stream of Qingguang, Gu Jinlai had completely mastered the wind turbine. As he described, the nacelle, blades, hub, low-speed shaft, gearbox, mechanical brakes, hydraulic system, etc...
All the components took shape one by one in the hands of the Artifact Spirit.
...
Meanwhile, since Gu Jinlai and the Artifact Spirit began their exchange, other Heavenly Masters, including some who were equivalent to the core members of groups, had noticeably slowed down their actions, glancing over at Gu Jinlai from time to time.
As the only new Heavenly Monarch in Qiantian in forty years, every move Gu Jinlai made attracted the attention of everyone present.
Especially since Gu Jinlai seemed to have no intention of leaving and planned to refine the Spiritual Artifact Embryo in the hall.
Although the Artifact Spirit was willing to assist him in simulating the refining process of the Artifact Embryo, which meant it was not directly crafted by his hand, the possibility of witnessing a Spiritual Artifact take shape from nothing based on the description of a Heavenly Monarch was still of significant help to these Heavenly Masters.
It was like Alchemy Apprentices watching an Alchemy Master perform alchemy.
Every process was worth serious contemplation and diligent learning by the apprentices.
In this situation, when the Spiritual Artifact was being assembled part by part under the Artifact Spirit’s simulation, everyone nearly put down what they were doing and watched intently as Gu Jinlai’s Spiritual Artifact took shape.
"Such a huge Spiritual Artifact... this one... it must be several tens of meters long! Could it be another War Spiritual Artifact?"
"I heard that Heavenly Monarch Gu optimized the cannon and crafted a kind of War Spiritual Artifact called an artillery. Its range, power, and firing rate all far surpass that of the cannon, and that artillery is only a few meters long... this one... this Spiritual Artifact, being dozens of meters long... if it really is a War Spiritual Artifact, how great could its power be?"
"It’s a bit strange, I just took a look, this Spiritual Artifact... seems to have not used any spiritual materials at all, and even Extraordinary Materials were used sparingly. With insufficient materials, no matter how powerful the crafted Spiritual Artifact, how great can it really be?"
The Heavenly Masters sized it up and constantly exchanged thoughts, pondering.
But as they looked on...
As the wind turbine was nearing completion, they felt something was amiss.
"Is this a War Spiritual Artifact? It looks a bit like a giant windmill. I don’t really see where it could inflict effective damage."
"Use those blade-like things to cut? Or perhaps, a Saint with a Holy Body carries it to smash? But even for carrying and smashing, isn’t it too huge? Even if one’s Saint Body is cultivated to the extreme, it’s only around thirty or forty meters tall, and this War Spiritual Artifact, although it uses quite a few Extraordinary Materials to reinforce itself, doesn’t seem like it could be used as a bludgeoning weapon. I don’t believe it."
"The only spiritual material it uses is Thunder Storage Stone. Could it possibly accumulate Thunder Power and release it at a critical moment?"
The crowd discussed, looking towards the gradually assembling Spiritual Artifact with a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
They had witnessed the process of this Spiritual Artifact’s creation from nothing, so it was clear to them that this Spiritual Artifact was nothing special.
Besides being able to store Thunder Power, it had no other remarkable features.
Not just the Heavenly Masters, but even the Artifact Spirit, when Gu Jinlai stopped describing, showed a look of surprise: "Is the assembly complete?"
"It’s complete."
Gu Jinlai looked at the wind turbine, which was only fifty meters high and fifty-six meters wide due to the use of some Extraordinary Materials, and said with a smile, "This is my crafted work."
"Just this?"
The Artifact Spirit looked somewhat disappointed.
It had high expectations for Gu Jinlai, a Heavenly Monarch who had achieved True Spirit Crystalization, but the result...
Was it just making this huge toy?
Yes!
It recognized that this thing was just like a toy windmill for humans.
It glanced at Gu Jinlai and said indifferently, "If the Spiritual Artifact you assembled is just this giant windmill, then I’m sorry to tell you..."
"A windmill? That’s one way to put it."
Gu Jinlai smiled slightly. "Since it’s a windmill, why don’t you simulate some strong winds and see what use this windmill-like Spiritual Artifact actually has."
