Chapter 1250

It can be said that the current Taiping Cult has begun to surpass all regions in every aspect, except for top-tier talent.

In this regard, it is still a bit lacking, but for mid-level talent—those "hundred-mile talents" and talent below the commandery and county level—the Taiping Cult is no longer lacking.

What is lacking is that kind of truly top-tier talent, such as Xun Yu or Cheng Yu, talent who can truly guard a region for a warlord.

There is no help for this.

Although the Taiping Cult has implemented universal education, and through education, the chances of intelligent people among the common people at the bottom being buried have been greatly reduced.

But for truly brilliant talent, there is no help for it; they are born that way, and then cultivated through later training.

And these brilliant talents often come from powerful clans.

The reason for this, in modern science, is modern genetic inheritance, while in ancient times, it was believed to be bloodline inheritance.

This saying is not without some truth. On the demon clan's side, those with good aptitude are often because their parents, or even ancestors, were demon beasts possessing high-level bloodlines.

On the human clan's side, they don't value bloodlines as much, but the proportion of elites coming from powerful clans is higher. In the past, it was thought to be a problem of education.

But now, after the Taiping Cult implemented universal education, it has already been several decades, and top-tier talent, especially top-tier talent who practice the literary path, is not abundant.

The Taiping Cult has also discovered this point and has also understood that perhaps that saying about bloodline inheritance indeed has some truth to it.

Of course, not many top-tier talents doesn't mean there are none.

The Taiping Cult has few of those brilliant talents, but by relying on the wisdom of the general public, they are actually not much worse than those people.

Moreover, once they embark on the transcendent path, ordinary brilliant talents will also narrow the gap with these people.

Therefore, although the Taiping Cult has few top-tier talents, by relying on those mid-level people—where "three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang"—the Taiping Cult is developing to be stronger and stronger.

This is the power of collective strategy, which has been practiced by later generations.

No matter how smart one person is, when considering all aspects, there will always be some blind spots.

In scientific research, the role of the leader is great and almost irreplaceable, but those ordinary researchers are also indispensable.

Just like the Changhong No. 1 right now; although it was developed under the leadership of Ma Yuanyi, without those thousands of scientific researchers, it would have been impossible for this Changhong No. 1 to be developed so quickly.

Changhong No. 1 is different from other rockets.

The Taiping Cult's technology actually long ago surpassed that of later generations, and its rocket technology absolutely surpassed that of later generations; they even developed a space shuttle.

But because the Primordial World is different from the Earth of later generations, the starry expanse of the Jiuzhou is not something the Earth can compare to.

If one wants to break free from the Jiuzhou and ascend to the starry expanse of the nine heavens, then ordinary rockets and space shuttles cannot achieve it.

Because up in those nine heavens, there are endless gale winds, and ordinary rockets would be shredded to pieces upon flying up.

The Changhong No. 1 right now is the latest generation developed by the Taiping Cult's many scientific researchers, and its materials are also specially refined by cultivators, specifically to withstand the gale winds of the nine heavens.

It can be said to be a product of the combination of science and metaphysics, and not purely a scientific object.

This Changhong No. 1 could not have been built by mortals alone.

Because some special metals require Earth Immortal stage cultivators to refine them with Immortal fire.

The Taiping Cult does not blindly insist on science with mortals as the main focus; in reality, combining the metaphysics of cultivators with science has erupted with even more powerful strength.

It can also often allow technology to erupt once again.

Cultivators might be a bit worse in other aspects of research, but in terms of materials, they can absolutely beat some ordinary scientific researchers.

Therefore, most breakthroughs in materials come from those cultivators.

When they refine artifacts, they can develop various alloys and then slowly simulate methods to forge them using mortal means.

The Taiping Cult's technological explosion actually cannot be separated from these cultivators.

Because of its special nature, even Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Cult participated in the Changhong No. 1.

He even took out a few Immortal Golds, finally building the current Changhong No. 1.

The Taiping Cult's high-level officials were mostly staring at the screen, watching the Changhong No. 1 flying higher and higher, and one by one, they held their breath.

Regarding the Jiuzhou and the Primordial World, the Taiping Cult's high-level officials actually also understood a little.

And the Taiping Cult also sent a portion of its disciples to Liangjie Mountain and to the Nanzhan Buzhou. Regardless, the current Taiping Cult is not without a backer.

With the help of Su Fan's name, the Taiping Cult entered the Nanzhan Buzhou and also received the support of the Sword Sect, giving them a base to develop slowly.

Moreover, Zhang Jiao is now also a peak Heavenly Immortal stage cultivator; he doesn't count for much in the Nanzhan Buzhou, but at least he is someone who can "ascend."

Regarding the nine heavens, they understand that the gale winds of the nine heavens threaten the Primordial Spirit realm, but for an ordinary Earth Immortal realm, the threat is not great.

And for the Changhong No. 1, through the alloy he refined, its external defense has been greatly improved, so that even an Earth Immortal realm expert would find it difficult to break through for a time.

Ma Yuanyi and the others were nervous, but Zhang Jiao didn't care at all.

Sure enough, very soon the Changhong No. 1 approached the gale winds of the nine heavens. At this time, the screen also began to show static due to signal issues, but fortunately, Ma Yuanyi and the others had originally made preparations.

"Activate the backup satellite."

There was a signal on the Changhong No. 1 itself, and very soon, the image was restored.

Everyone finally saw a scene that many of them had never seen before: the gale winds of the nine heavens, five-colored gale winds that looked so beautiful.

But everyone present knew how dangerous they were.

They had forged many rockets between them, but when facing these gale winds, they were instantly shredded to pieces. One must know that the shell defense of some rockets was even stronger than that of a Primordial Spirit stage martial arts expert who practiced body tempering.

Yet they still couldn't block the power of the gale winds.

Most of these people were at the Primordial Spirit realm; without reaching the Earth Immortal realm and being unable to transform into an Immortal body, they could not cross those gale winds.

Zzz!

As the gale winds invaded, various sounds were emitted, but fortunately, that cyan alloy metal blocked the gale winds tightly.

The alloy shell, however, did not suffer any loss.

"Great! It blocked it!"

Suddenly, someone cheered.

"Don't be happy too soon. This is only the first layer of gale winds; there are eight more layers behind. Only by crossing all of them can one truly head into the starry expanse."

"That will be the time when our Jiuzhou human clan rises."

Ma Yuanyi was able to keep his composure.

Above the gale winds of the nine heavens is the endless starry expanse, and in the endless starry expanse, there are countless star continents. Those continents possess many resources. Although the Jiuzhou continent is very large, it is ultimately limited.

With the continuous increase in population, one day the Jiuzhou will not be able to bear it, and then they will need to go out.

And the Nanzhan Buzhou is one path, and the endless starry expanse is also one.
