Chapter 356: Emperor Mingzong Dai Mingzong(2/2)
"Okay, I wonder what wonderful method the Master Tang Sect has to narrow the gap between my soul masters in Xingluo and the Wu Soul Palace?"
Dai Mingzong did not underestimate Tang San's intention to be just a young man in his twenties. After Tang San saluted him, he immediately asked sincerely. Compared with Gan Jue's Dead Soul City, Dai Mingzong actually paid the most attention to Tang San's Tang Sect. After all, if the Tang Sect had a way to deal with the Soul Master Legion of the Soul Hall, as Ning Fengzhi said, they would truly have the strength to compete with the Soul Hall.
Tang San did not expect that Emperor Dai Mingzong would get to the point so soon, so he quickly took out two Zhuge divine crossbows and presented one to him.
"Your Majesty, please see this object. This is a hidden weapon made by our Tang Sect. Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Within a hundred steps, it can break the defense of the soul masters of level 40. As long as you train ten thousand troops equipped with Zhuge Divine Crossbow, you will definitely be able to fight against the soul master legion in the Martial Soul Hall."
Tang San said, asking Dai Mingzong to refer to his steps and put a mechanism on Zhuge's divine crossbow step by step, aiming, shooting, and doing it in one go.
The two Zhuge divine crossbows, a total of forty-eight crossbow arrows, all of which were infiltrated into the wooden pillars of the reception hall, made Dai Mingzong's eyes wide open in surprise.
Of course he knew what such power meant.
There are crossbows, Xingluo, but it is almost enough to break the defense of the great soul master. The defense of the Soul Breaking Sect is hard to imagine. Moreover, this Zhuge divine crossbow can be fired continuously, which is indeed worthy of the name of the divine crossbow. If it is given to the army, it will indeed be as Tang San said, and it can compete with the Soul Master Legion of the Wuhun Hall. It's just...
"I wonder how much this thing is built by the leader of the Tang Sect, and how much does the crossbow arrow cost?"
Dai Mingzong played with the exquisite Zhuge crossbow in his hand and asked what he was most worried about. Such a small thing and huge power, the materials used must be good. If it is too expensive and cannot be popularized, it will be meaningless.
"Since Your Majesty asks sincerely, Tang San dares not deceive Your Majesty. The cost of a Zhuge divine crossbow is about 150 gold coins, and the cost of a crossbow arrow is about 100 gold coins."
"In other words, a Zhuge divine crossbow plus forty-eight crossbow arrows requires two hundred gold coins..."
Dai Mingzong stroked Zhuge's divine crossbow and pondered with thoughtful expression.
He didn't think it was too expensive, but on the contrary, he felt it was a bit cheap. You should know that it would cost several thousand gold coins to cultivate a Soul Sect at level 40. A full Zhuge Divine Crossbow was 2000 gold coins. Even if a 10,000 troops was 2 million gold coins, even if each 10,000 troops was 10,000 troops, and then a hundred more crossbow arrows were 5 million gold coins. This was not worth mentioning for the royal family that had looted all the branches of the Wushu Temple in the empire. In this way, there was no need to think about getting the method of manufacturing. The enemy was right to spend this war first.
"There is another question. I wonder how many times can this Zhuge divine crossbow fire?"
"It can happen at least five hundred times. After five hundred times, the mechanical cladding will produce subtle cracks, which will reduce the power of the crossbow arrow. At most a thousand times, the mechanical cladding will be completely scrapped. At that time, the mechanical cladding needs to be replaced. The mechanical cladding of each magic crossbow is its core. A mechanical cladding requires about fifty gold coins."
"Um..."
Dai Mingzong pondered, thinking about how many Zhuge crossbows should be ordered in the empire and how much price should be ordered at.
But when Tang San saw Emperor Dai Mingzong pondering, he thought he thought it was too expensive, so he immediately bowed and said:
"The Zhuge divine crossbow that Your Majesty sees now is something I carry with me and is not suitable for the army. The Tang Sect can sacrifice the size and weight of the Zhuge divine crossbow to achieve the effect of reducing the cost by 30% to 40% without reducing the power. The crossbow arrows used can also be made of iron essence and the arrow body is made of ordinary steel. Although the crossbow arrows cannot be reused, the cost can be reduced by about 30%. What does Your Majesty think?"
"No, no, since this is our winning magic weapon against the Soul Master Legion of the Wuhun Palace, it must not be reduced at all. In this way, the empire first ordered 20,000 sets of Zhuge Divine Crossbows from the Tang Sect with a set of 320 gold coins. Among them, each set includes a Zhuge Divine Crossbow, a hundred crossbow arrows, and an extra mechanism to include one, how about it?"
Dai Mingzong thought for a while and looked at Tang San and said.
According to Tang San, his set was worth 300 gold coins in total, so he thought he would give the Tang Sect a set of twenty gold coins to make a profit. Moreover, Dai Mingzong knew that the cost that Tang San mentioned must be a lot of water, but it was not bad for hundreds of thousands of dollars anyway. He would not care about it when the enemy was in front of him.
"There is no problem with the price, but the mechanical crossbow is not good. Zhuge's divine crossbow is one. After leaving the Tang Sect, it is impossible to disassemble it. Even if we provide the mechanical crossbow, the Empire cannot replace it. However, I can provide each magic crossbow to replace the mechanical crossbow once for free."
"Then... OK."
After pondering for a moment, Dai Mingzong agreed.
"Since that's the case, Tang San begs His Majesty to allow Tang San to establish the Tang Sect outside Gengxin City."
"Gengxin City?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Gengxin City is the capital of metal. Only after Gengxin City and the Tang Sect are established can enough magical crossbows be created for the empire as soon as possible."
The establishment of the Tang Sect in Gengxin City was Tang San's decision after careful consideration. In addition to the fact that it was the metal capital, Tang San had consulted Ning Fengzhi and the four elders of Haotian Sect just now. Gengxin City was located in the new sect of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and Haotian Sect, and it was only about four days away from the two major sects, so they could watch over each other.
"Gengxin City... OK, then there!"
In fact, Dai Mingzong was still a little unwilling to do so, and he was still a little afraid of the three major sects. He had originally divided the new garrisons of the three major sects into three directions, but he didn't want them to unite. However, this Tang Sect needed a large amount of metal to create hidden weapons, and it was indeed the best place to be located in Gengxin City. He had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
In this way, the matter on the Tang Sect was agreed upon. Qianjue's Dead Soul City was different from ordinary sects, and there was no need to build any new sects. So after that, Dai Mingzong represented the Xingluo Empire, Tang San's Tang Sect, Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the Master's Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, and the Four Elders' Haotian Sect once again discussed how to join forces to resist the Spirit Hall next. The meeting of this day finally ended successfully.
