Chapter 129 Are we a sidekick?
As the freshmen were picked up by their respective student unions, the lively square just now quickly became deserted, leaving only Li Yao and seven or eight freshmen. ◎
Except for Li Yao, everyone was frowning and sighing - they were all new students in the weapon refining system.
"Oh, everyone has a place to go, and only a few of us are left in distress. The weapon refining system is worthy of being the most trashy major in the Great Wilderness War Courtyard. Look, connecting freshmen is half a beat slower than others, and no one has appeared yet!"
A slightly fat boy with dark skin curled his lips and said with a wry smile.
His name is Huang Tong, and he is very extroverted. He quickly connected the atmosphere, making the brothers and brothers familiar with each other.
After everyone introduced each other's names and hometown, Li Yao finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been wandering in his heart:
"Dear brothers, why are you so depressed? Although the refining system is not very good, it is the 'Nine Big' after all. No matter how bad it is, it is not much worse. You can always find a job after graduation. As for what makes you so uncomfortable?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, and they all looked at Li Yao with very strange eyes.
Li Yao was so angry that he was staring at him, and he said in a daze: "Am I wrong?"
Huang Tong laughed strangely:
"It seems that before filling out the application form, Li Yao must have not learned about the major of the Dahuang War Court Refining Department."
Li Yao frowned:
"I really haven't learned it in depth. I only know that it is one of the worst majors among the 'Nine Majors'. So what? At most, the teaching level is lower. As long as we work hard enough, we may not be unable to succeed. As the saying goes, the master leads us to the door, and everyone practices!"
Huang Tong sighed and said:
"I know you must have not had an in-depth understanding. Otherwise, as you are the top scorer in the city-level college entrance examination, how could you step into this quagmire?"
"Mud? I don't understand!"
"Tell you, Li Yao, the biggest problem with the weapon refining department of the Dahuang Zhanyuan is not that the teaching level is too low, but that the tool refining concept here is fundamentally different from the mainstream in the weapon refining circle, and belongs to the 'non-mainstream'."
"If we use the words of the ancient cultivation world forty thousand years ago - in the eyes of mainstream weapon refiners, the weapon refining system of the Great Wilderness War Court is a side-door way!"
"The side-by-side - so serious?" Li Yao was shocked
Huang Tong nodded and said, "It's more serious than you think, and it can even rise to the level of 'avenly dispute'!"
"The battle for the great way?" Li Yao frowned, and Ding Yin also said so, it seemed to be true.
He remembered that he had encountered a conflict between a professor at Nebula University and a teacher at the First Military Academy of the Federation on the Liaoyuan.
In order to argue about the "essence of spiritual energy", the two had a "battle of the great way" and almost had to "go out and do one".
If it weren't for the public and the onlookers at that time, maybe the two of them would really have fought and killed others.
Zheng Dongming also explained to Li Yao that "cultivator" is "people who pursue the truth", and every cultivator is extremely stubborn about the ideas he upholds.
Even if a cultivator with a gentle personality encounters a "battle for the great way", he will show his edge without compromise until he completely kills the "truth" believed in by the enemy.
"Truth" is the foundation of cultivators, and "the battle of the great way" is the biggest war for cultivators. It is even more serious than the war with demons and ghosts, and there is no room for easing.
"Is there such a big difference between the 'truth' believed in by the weapon refining department of the Great Wilderness War Court and the mainstream concept? It can actually rise to the level of 'avenly dispute over the great way'?"
Li Yao really doesn't understand.
Huang Tong coughed dryly. Explained:
"The so-called 'the dispute of the great way' is the debate between the elite and the grassroots."
"The mainstream refining theory represented by Deep Sea University advocates taking the elite route. The more complex the design of the magic weapon, the tighter the structure, and the stronger the power, the better!"
"As for the cost of refined magic weapons, the structure is too complex to have a high failure rate, and the conditions for equipping magic weapons are becoming increasingly harsh... These problems are all small problems in the mainstream refining theory and are irrelevant."
"According to this concept, it is the high-level cultivator who decides the outcome of the war. Therefore, it is necessary to refine powerful high-level magic weapons for use by powerful Dan-stage men and old Nascent Soul monsters, and at most some ordinary magic weapons are refined for use by the Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
"As for the Qi Refining Cultivators and ordinary soldiers, they cannot control the overall situation and are not worth spending more time. They are not the focus of weapon refiners."
"This is a common view in the circle of weapon refiners. Most schools and weapon refining sects think so."
"The weapon refining system of our school is probably the only exception. Because our school has risen from the grassroots, it pays special attention to the combat effectiveness of low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers."
"In the grassroots school's weapon refining concept, it is not the high-level cultivators who decide the outcome of the war. On the contrary, low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers are the key."
"As long as you equip thousands of Qi Refining Cultivators and ordinary soldiers with appropriate magic weapons, many ants will bite the elephant to death, even the old Nascent Soul monster will still be crushed into meat paste under the impact of tens of thousands of Qi Refining Cultivators!"
"From this perspective, the standard for determining the quality of a magic weapon is obviously not power."
"The cost is low, the structure is simple, the performance is stable, and it is not easy to damage. Or it is easy to repair after damage. Or it is easy to repair. It uses ordinary raw materials instead of natural treasures, which can be refined in large quantities on the assembly line, and anyone can quickly learn to use it... Only with these advantages is the real good magic weapon!"
"You see, the concept of refining magic weapons between the elite and the grassroots is completely opposite, and it is the most typical 'battle for the great way'."
"At present, the elite sect is the mainstream in the circle. 90% of weapon refiners belong to the elite sect. They regard the grassroots sect as ignorant barbarians, and even joke that the magic weapons refined by the grassroots sect are fire sticks and iron lumps, which are not considered real magic weapons at all."
"The leader of the grassroots sect is our department head Professor Mo Xuan. He almost carried the banner of the entire grassroots sect with his own strength and insisted on the concept of refining magic weapons for ordinary people and low-level cultivators. It has not wavered for decades, so he has the nickname of "crazy" in the circle of weapon refiners."
"The mainstream weapon refiners circles are very despised by the students of "Mo Crazy". After graduation, we are almost impossible to find a good job in the mainstream weapon refiners circle. The top 500 sects in the federal market will not recruit graduates from the Dahuang War Academy weapon refining department. We can only go to some small and medium-sized sects, or grassroots troops in the army to engage in the simplest basic weapon refining work, and the future is very bleak."
"The above is the 'Big Road Fight' in the circle of weapon refiners. Anyone who has learned a lot in depth will not apply to the Dahuang War Academy weapon refining department."
"Take me as an example, I never dreamed of studying in the weapon refining system. My first choice was the direction of the sword cultivator in the martial arts system, but I chose to 'obey the allocation'. As a result, the score was not enough to be a sword cultivator, so I was transferred to the weapon refining system!"
"I really didn't want to come, but I've been re-educated for two years. I really don't want to repeat the third year. Being a 'high sixth student' is too embarrassing, right? I had to force myself to come with my nose."
Huang Tong's words aroused all the newborns' resonance, and everyone started to scream.
"Me too, I am too. I never thought about studying any kind of refining weapon system. It was all my father forced me to come. After all, it was the 'Nine Great', and it was still very majestic when I said it!"
"Who would be willing to learn any grassroots weapon refining technique? I have already thought about it. Whenever I have the chance, I will change my department. Not to mention the four key majors, any major is better than going crazy with "Mo Crazy Man"!"
"One, brothers, let's work together. Try to change the department as soon as possible!"
Seeing Li Yao's thoughtful look, Huang Tong thought he was worried about his future and couldn't help but smile:
"Student Li Yao, what are you worried about? Your strength is so strong that Iron Fist and Lunblade Hall just now have invited you. You can transfer the system every minute. No matter how bad the weapon refining system is, it has nothing to do with you."
Li Yao pondered for a long time and shook his head and said:
"Thank you for your introduction, Huang Tong, but I have no plans to transfer to the department. On the contrary, after listening to your introduction, I think it is really correct to choose the Dahuang Zhanyuan weapon refining department - the weapon refining concept here is very in line with my appetite."
All the students were stunned, as if they were looking at a monster.
Huang Tong said in surprise: "Do you also adhere to the grassroots artifact refining philosophy like 'Mo Caizi'?"
"Yes." Li Yao admitted frankly.
After swallowing a large number of Ou Yezi's memory fragments, Li Yao's understanding of weapon refining was unconsciously infected with the style of the ancient times 40,000 years ago.
In the ancient times, there were not so many complex magic weapons. Magic weapons such as the "Taiyi Lei Magnetic Cannon" that require hundreds of thousands of components to be refined did not exist at all.
Even if it is a magic weapon that can kill the old monster of the God Transformation, it can be composed of at most hundreds of components.
Therefore, Li Yaotian advocated the concept of simple and direct weapon refining, and was somewhat resistant to particularly complex and sophisticated magic weapons.
More importantly...
Li Yao vaguely remembers that in a long time ago, in the world of his previous life, there were two super hegemonies. Based on two different design concepts, he created two weapons with completely different styles but equally powerful styles!
One is the "Soviet style"!
One is "German style"!
German-style weapons are like elite magic weapons, with complex structures, high manufacturing costs, complex production processes, and extremely high requirements for operators.
Of course, it is extremely powerful.
The Soviet-style weapons are like grassroots magic weapons, specially designed for human sea tactics. They do not force power, but only require simple and reliable structure and low manufacturing cost. They can be mass-produced in the most simple workshops, allowing ordinary people and even women to use immediately.
With its powerful German weapons, the former super hegemony once swept across the eight deserts and devoured half of the civilized world, and achieved one brilliant victory after another on the tactical level.
But at a strategic level...
The Soviet-style weapons, which are simple in structure, low-cost and easy to operate, are constantly pouring out from simple factory workshops, gathering into a vast army of steel. Under the operation of a group of rude and barbaric soldiers, only bloody and brave, and no combat experience, they withstood the rampant German weapons and the most elite soldiers, and finally even pushed them back, smashing all the German weapons that were extremely exquisite and could be called works of art.
