A few days later, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother had not let everyone down and had successfully refined the puppet Di Xin needed.
The appearance of the puppet was very simple. It had six mechanical legs and two mechanical arms that were arranged on a ball-like body. It could roll and walk 360 degrees without any blind spots.
The puppet was more than ten meters tall and weighed dozens of tons. It was a true behemoth.
At the same time, with Qin Wan's help, the puppet had also been added with arrays such as levitation, great strength, and sturdiness.
Di Xin brought Huang Feihu, Grand Preceptor Wen, Shang Rong Bigan, Du Yuanxi, and the others to the outside of the city to watch the Fire Spirit Holy Mother show off the extraordinary mechanical puppet.
Puppet control was controlled by spiritual will, and it could also be controlled by mortals with Puppet Synchronization Talismans.
This puppet was originally designed by Di Xin for mortals, so it was naturally controlled by mortals.
Thus, Bigan was stuck with the Puppet Synchronization Talisman.
Bigan saw everyone looking at him and immediately asked in embarrassment,"This old man doesn't understand this. Why don't you do it, King Wucheng?”
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward. The giant puppet not far away also followed his movements.
Every step it took caused the earth to rumble.
"Go cut down the trees." Di Xin ordered.
Bi Gan had no choice but to control the giant puppet to walk in front of a large tree. He raised his hand and slashed down, causing a hundred-year-old tree to fall.
He removed the branches and placed them aside.
"Use your fastest speed. Quick, I'll give you fifteen minutes.”
Di Xin roared, causing Bi Gan to become nervous as he controlled the giant puppet to cut down the trees in a panic.
Fifteen minutes later, a tall pile of wood was piled up on the ground. There were at least fifty to sixty of them.
This efficiency was more than a thousand times faster than ordinary people.
Huang Feihu was dumbfounded. Even a martial artist like him could not achieve such a fast speed.
However, Bi Gan easily completed it with such a huge puppet.
Shang Rong and Du Yuanxi looked at each other in shock.
In the past two to three years, they had seen more new things than they had seen in their entire lives.
The current king was truly peerless in intelligence. All sorts of strange ideas made them sigh in admiration.
Di Xin nodded in satisfaction. This giant puppet was not bad. It could be used to cut down trees and collect minerals. It could also be used as a huge war machine during battles. It could easily cause large-scale massacres and directly destroy the morale of the enemy.
"Is this item difficult to forge? Can it be broken apart?”
Di Xin asked the Fire Spirit Holy Mother if she could refine the parts of the giant puppet separately. This was very important.
This was the key to mass production.
As long as the school was opened in the future and Great Shang was able to nurture a large number of Qi Practitioners, these giant puppets would be widely available.
It was enough for each person to refine one component. The more they refined, the more familiar they would be, and the better the quality would be.
As long as the giant puppets were popularized, not only would they be able to release labor on a large scale, but it would also be extremely easy for the development of the West.
By then, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of giant puppets would develop the west together, comb the mountains and rivers, and dredge the rivers. He did not believe that he could not turn the barren and desolate western land into a rich paradise on earth.
"This will take some time, but it will be soon.”The Fire Spirit Holy Mother replied.
Refining puppets was a small technique. Studying the dismantling of puppets was much simpler than studying the Great Dao.
"That's good. Please hurry up and refine a few more of these puppets. I'm prepared to use them for the development of the West.”
After the practice, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother put away the puppet and returned to the Academy.
She was in a good mood after receiving Di Xin's approval.
These days, she had gained a lot of insight from Di Xin's suggestions.
She had seen things that she had neglected in the past from the subtle details, which had made her cultivation improve a lot.
Unknowingly, the immortals of Jie School were proud of receiving Di Xin's praise.
-------
Di Xin and the others returned to the imperial palace by airboat.
Now, Di Xin didn't dare to take a carriage from Zhaoge.
Once he appeared, the entire street would be congested. Now that the people worshipped him more and more, there were many advantages, but the disadvantage was that he could not show his face casually.
After returning to Dragon Virtue Palace, Di Xin didn't rest. Instead, he asked everyone to stay behind.
"Now that Great Shang has abundant resources, it is time to develop the west. I am prepared to officially start this project after the wedding. Bi Gan, you are in charge of preparing the materials for the flying boat and the teleportation formation. Once the Teleportation Formation was set up, they could go back and forth at any time. Huang Feihu, set off in a few days. Pick a group of elites and students and head to the west to establish your first stronghold.”
Shang Rong didn't understand. He cupped his hands and asked," There are still a lot of lands in the world that haven't entered the territory of the Shang Dynasty. In my opinion, it's more cost-effective to attack the barbarians than to develop the west."”
Di Xin shook his head and said," That's not true. Although the barbarians are not willing to submit to Great Shang, they are still humans. They respect me as the Human Ruler. As for the barbarians, they could slowly assimilate them through trade. There was no need to attack or kill. The west must be developed. Firstly, as the ruler of the world, if we don't take responsibility, the Heavenly Dao will eventually abandon the human race. Second, there are many minerals in the west, which is something that Great Shang lacks. Thirdly, there were many evil beasts in the west. If the humans did not go, there would be other demonic beasts and the like. Why don't we humans take the initiative and develop that area?”
Di Xin gave three reasons.
Shang Rong could not find a place to refute and could only retreat.
The development of the West was something that Di Xin had planned since the first day he came to this world.
In the Battle of Gods Investiture, Tongtian Shi was weak and was bullied by others.
As an ally, Di Xin understood the principle of cold lips and dead teeth.
The development of the west was not only for the development of Great Shang, it was also the key to the survival of Great Shang.
Under the scheme of a Saint, no matter how great your luck is, you will not be able to escape your fate of destruction.
Liches were a classic example.
Fighting for the Two Sages of the West was the key to changing Great Shang's fate.
Even if he couldn't make the Two Sages of the West help Great Shang, he had to make them neutral.
Sect Master Tongtian was indeed the youngest of the Three Pure Ones, but he was also the strongest. Not to mention cultivation, but his combat strength was the strongest.
Patriarch Hongjun liked his little disciple. This was not the main reason why Tongtian obtained the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, but that the four Immortal Slaying Swords could only be unleashed to the extreme in his hands.
Among the few Saints, only Jie School established by Tongtian had the intention to resist.
The Western Sect, Chan Sect, and Ren Sect all followed the destiny. This was the difference.
In a one-on-one battle, even Laozi, who had turned into the Three Pure Ones, might not be able to gain any benefits. He might even suffer losses.
After dealing with the Two Sages of the West, Heavenly Lord of the Origin could not do anything to Tongtian, and the Clan of Enlightenment could not do anything to the Clan of Severity. Then, Great Shang would naturally be at ease.
Furthermore, the Two Sages of the West were the most shameless among the Sages. They threw away the face of the Sages and bullied the juniors righteously. They said that they were fated with the West and directly abducted them without caring whether they were willing or not.
If these two Sages were willing to help him, not only would he be able to rest easy, but Great Shang's empire would be as solid as iron. It would be stable and there would be no risk at all.
