Chapter 604: Chapter 169: You’ve Worked Hard
Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform!
Xuan: refers to ancient vehicles with canopies or curtains, symbolizing noble and distinguished status, representing the lofty mandate of heaven and the power of long journeys.
Yuan: the two straight shafts in front of the carriage that harnessed livestock, symbolizing guidance and the source of strength.
And Nine Work represents nine types of craftsmanship.
The Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform incorporates nine types of craftsmanship, designed for constructing the framework of Mechanical Carriages.
The entire platform resembled a robust elongated bar, utterly simplistic, void of anything, vastly different from most uniquely shaped Mechanical Platforms.
It was constructed from a combination of wood and metal. For the wood, thousand-year-old Ancient Coin Yew and Blue Sea Agarwood were used, displaying natural patterns and a rustic aura. The metal used was Taibai Luminous Gold, ensuring stability and durability.
The surface of the platform was semi-transparent, containing countless Talismans. These Talismans varied in size; some were intricately packed together tightly, while others were bold and occupied space on their own.
The Talismans emitted a faint mystical glow and changed gradually over time.
Ning Zhuo’s eyes bulged, almost shining with light.
He almost detached himself from the Stone Ball, eager to embrace the platform passionately!
He couldn’t wait to imbue his Divine Sense, his expression growing increasingly excited.
“Just as described in the books, the nine crafts can each be different, sorted according to one’s needs,”
“Wonderful, truly wonderful.”
Ning Zhuo closely examined and discovered the nine types of craftsmanship included Fine Carving, Heavenly Fire Melting Casting, Stacked Forging, Star Dust Inlay…
“Leaning towards precision manufacturing,”
What Ning Zhuo needed were quickly made Mechanical Puppets, for large-scale manufacturing or repairs.
However, even if it’s not entirely suitable, with this Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform, he could still improve his efficiency by more than tenfold.
This level of improvement was indeed significant!
Ning Zhuo then looked towards the second Mechanical Platform.
This platform resembled a miniature ancient palace, with a stable design and the surface adorned with cloud patterns and flowing, elegant Dragon-shaped Runes.
The main body of the palace was an ancient bronze color, imparting a sense of years passing and a weighty history.
The beams and pillars inside the palace were sturdy, smooth, and seemingly effortless in their design, all slowly rotating on their own.
When Ning Zhuo infused Divine Sense into it, he discovered that inside the palace-like Mechanical Platform, there was an intricate architecture of countless gears and grooves, closely packed together layer by layer.
“Xuan Palace Gear Platform!” Ning Zhuo recognized it immediately.
“Its main value depends on what the Main Gear is made of,”
Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sense delved deeper, swiftly discovering a massive gear dominating the center, slowly rotating.
“Left and Right Terra Firma Wheels?”
Ning Zhuo was struck by a thought and continued to observe, quickly confirming that his initial judgment was correct.
The Celestial Ascension Wheels above and Terra Firma Wheels below were a classic pair of Mechanical Components in the art of mechanisms.
And a third Mechanical Platform.
This Mechanical Platform was cylindrical, like a large drum.
The surface of the drum was painted red, while the cylinder itself depicted a giant God. The God was holding up the sky and stepping on the earth, with misty clouds swirling around its knees and shoulders, emphasizing its immense stature. Its body was muscular and exuded a strong sense of power.
“The Immortal of Colossal Spirit Modeling Platform!” Ning Zhuo instantly understood.
This platform was very easy to recognize.
Or rather, Ning Zhuo had long coveted many platforms. Until now, he could only indulge in them through books and secret records, keeping his affection hidden deep inside.
Though Mechanical Platforms are not as expensive as Alchemy Furnaces or Artifact Refining Furnaces, they are also not commonly seen on the market.
During his decade-plus in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Ning Zhuo had rarely seen Mechanical Platforms for sale.
One important reason for this is that Fire Persimmon Immortal City is a new city. Since its establishment, it couldn’t be fully developed due to special reasons related to the Three Sects’ seniors.
Nowadays, although Lava Fairy Palace has emerged, Fire Persimmon Immortal City is still in the midst of even fiercer power struggles, making rapid development even more unlikely.
The function of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit Modeling Platform is to forcibly change the shape of large materials.
It also differed from most Mechanical Platforms.
Because it contains the Divine Summoning Technique.
The summoned beings are the Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
Such types of Gods typically have a large physique, are robust, and possess great strength.
This Immortal of Colossal Spirit Modeling Platform is only at the Golden Core Level, capable of summoning one Immortal of Colossal Spirit. If it was at the Nascent Soul Level, it could simultaneously summon two Immortal of Colossal Spirit or one Immortal of Colossal Spirit and one Craft God.
In the absence of a Craft God, this platform would have to contain Arrays and Talisman to assist with heating, lubricating, burning, and securing the components.
One Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform, one Xuan Palace Gear Platform, one Immortal of Colossal Spirit Modeling Platform!
“One Nascent Soul Level, two Golden Core Level. A series of three Mechanical Platforms in a row! Who in the military are these intended for?”
With joy, Ning Zhuo couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Faced with this question, his thoughts immediately went to the Mechanical Princess, Shuang Ling.
Right now, among the military forces of Liangzhu Country, she was the one using mechanisms and being at the Nascent Soul Level, with significant wealth, she could afford these.
“Hee hee hee,” Sun Lingtong also reached the same conclusion and started to snicker, “Little Zhuo, these Mechanical Platforms are probably all for that Shuang Ling.”
“We’re going to give her a good show this time!”
“How arrogant she was at the auction. It’s not that we don’t report, just that the time has not come, hee hee hee! Now the time has come.”
Ning Zhuo nodded and continued to collaborate with Sun Lingtong, maneuvering the Stone Ball.
“Old Monster in Stone” began to appear on the battlefield, constantly making moves, while Thousand Peak Forest and Liangzhu Country were fiercely engaged, he profited enormously amidst the intense brutality.
Stones with a luster like jade, featuring surface patterns similar to Dragon Scales, known as Dragon Scale Stone.
When taken into the hand and swiftly moved, a color resembling the deep blue or black of the nighttime sky, leaving a lingering shadow in the air — Night Shadow Copper.
