Chapter 950: Catching the Inner Demon
The Peixian Workshop was originally established by the old Daoist Chuhe, specifically for producing immortal plant fertilizer. After a year of operation, the current scale is already quite large, and it has recruited more than 3,000 Dao-foundation cultivators in one breath. Now the number of Peixian cultivators is second only to the Heavenly Craftsmen of the Weapon Forging Workshop, belonging to the second largest industry in the Azure Void.
Although the old Daoist has tried his best, the demand for fertilizer is simply endless. The Azure Void can now achieve saturated fertilization on only 10 million mu of land, which is less than one-third of all existing fields. But fertilizer is limited by the number of cultivators, and the increase in production can never catch up with the fields.
Fortunately, with the assistance of the Human World Fireworks, arithmetic has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The old Daoist Chuhe calculated that with the current fertilizer production, 5 million mu would be given enough fertilizer, and the remaining 25 million mu would be given only one-fifth of the fertilizer, and the total grain production could reach the maximum. The latest season of grain collection has already exceeded 10 billion catties.
But the more grain the Azure Void has, the more people there are; the more people, the faster the expansion; the faster the expansion, the more land can be opened; the more land, the more fertilizer is needed. This has cycled back.
And the old Daoist Chuhe discovered that the fields he had opened and the land he had used fertilizer on all had a weak causal relationship with him, and some faint luck was credited. Although the luck of each mu of land can be completely ignored, even an Imperial View True Lord cannot distinguish it. But every mu is small, but it can't stand the fact that the Azure Void has a lot of land!
For some time now, the old Daoist Chuhe clearly felt that his Dharma Form was different. Large areas of open space actually appeared in the forest, and then they were opened into various fields, and the Treasure-Seeking Mouse drove an immortal sword to farm and fertilize every day. Every time the crops grew a little, the old Daoist Chuhe's cultivation increased a little.
Since the Primeval Palace was established, no cultivator has been able to connect with millions of mu of land, and True Lord Chuhe is the first, and it is 30 million mu. This is a path not inferior to the Immortal Chicken!
Therefore, the old Daoist Chuhe is buried in the production of fertilizer, trying every means to increase production.
Sure enough, when something is done big, variables come. The Peixian Workshop exploded, killing and injuring more than a hundred Peixian cultivators, and more than a thousand mortal helpers, and the old Daoist was instantly covered with extremely rich karma.
When Wei Yuan arrived, True Lord Chuhe had already blocked the scene and rescued the seriously injured. Sun Yu led a large number of beautiful disciples to arrive and began to rescue them on the spot.
Wei Yuan entered the explosion scene and saw that many cultivators had already set up arrays under the guidance of Behind Bao Yun and Xiaoyu, and were trying hard to restore the scene of the explosion.
The core point of the explosion was a warehouse in the Peixian Workshop, where hundreds of thousands of catties of fertilizer were stored. As a result, the explosion not only razed this huge warehouse, which was dozens of zhang in radius, to the ground, but also leveled all the buildings within a mile, and the impact of the explosion even reached dozens of miles away.
Fortunately, the explosion was all mortal force, with very little spiritual power, otherwise, I am afraid that an immortal would have to be present to restore the situation at that time. Under the joint efforts of Behind Bao Yun and Xiaoyu, the situation at that time was barely restored. He saw that a basket of prepared fertilizer in the warehouse had changed color for some reason and had condensed into blocks.
Several Peixian cultivators didn't know how to deal with it, so someone suggested smashing and grinding it into fine powder and mixing it into normal fertilizer for use. Everyone felt it was feasible, so they publicly recommended a strong one to come out, picked up a sledgehammer, and smashed it down with full force, and then nearly half of the Peixian Workshop was gone.
After reading the images, the cultivators were all speechless, and looking at the hundreds of thousands of catties of fertilizer piled up in the warehouse in the distance, the old Daoist Chuhe's face changed instantly.
Wei Yuan's face also changed, and he immediately flew over, first blocking the warehouse, withdrawing all Peixian cultivators, and then entered the warehouse himself, sweeping the entire warehouse with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, found more than a dozen boxes of somewhat deteriorated fertilizer.
Some of these fertilizers had condensed into blocks, and some were mixed with impurities such as sulfur and oil. When they were taken out for experiments, they all exploded with one knock. Seeing Yu Zhizhuo's strange face, Wei Yuan asked, "How does it compare to our existing explosives?"
Yu Zhizhuo said, "Slightly inferior to spirit wood silk explosives. But this production is much larger..."
Fertilizer explosives belong to mortal objects. And spirit wood decomposed into silk and then soaked in gray stone becomes explosives, and the power is indeed huge, but because spirit wood is used as raw material, the production is relatively limited. Although after a long period of accumulation, there is now a stock of millions of catties, how can it compare to the production capacity of more than 100,000 catties of fertilizer a day?
Wei Yuan immediately ordered people to take away 100,000 catties of fertilizer and hand it over to the Weapon Forging Workshop and the two institutes for research. Next is the compensation for the wounded and all other matters, which naturally have officials below to handle.
True Lord Chuhe therefore gained a lot of karma and causality, but fortunately, he was protected by huge luck, and the consequences were not too serious. At the moment, Wei Yuan led away most of the karma with the Red Lotus Bodhi.
Since he knew that fertilizer would explode, but production could not be stopped, the next step was naturally to re-plan the processes of storage and transportation to ensure safety.
Wei Yuan pulled True Lord Chuhe aside and checked him carefully again to ensure that the remaining karma was what the old Daoist could bear, and only then felt relieved. The Immortal Chicken also found that the situation was serious, so it divided a divine sense on Chuhe to ensure timely rescue when the karma broke out.
The time spent with Chuhe was the happiest day in the life of the Flame God Chicken, and it naturally couldn't let this human-shaped multi-functional pet die.
After dealing with all matters, Wei Yuan couldn't help but think, because of indirect negligence, the old Daoist Chuhe killed a batch of Dao-foundation cultivators, and as a result, there was such a huge karma and resentment. The people under the rule of those superiors were destitute and starving, why didn't they bear the karma and causality?
There was no answer to this question, and it was not written in the books, so Wei Yuan could only think about it.
But True Lord Chuhe's encounter also gave Wei Yuan a reminder. If he acts perversely in the future, I am afraid his end will not be very good.
This accident unexpectedly gave Wei Yuan a massive amount of explosives, and many past ideas could be put on the agenda. The development of the Azure Void's military power was too rapid, and gunpowder was not enough, so the amount of explosives used in the civilian field in the past was small, and most of them relied on Dao-foundation cultivators to work manually. Anyway, the Azure Void didn't have much else, but the most template Dao-foundations. ===== CHAPTER 951 =====
