Chapter 275 Soul Crystal and Soul Sand
After Wang's little episode, everyone had almost finished eating. Zhou Qing took out a handful of black gravel from the gray bag, pushed it in front of Ning Rongrong, and asked, "Rongrong, do you know what this is?"
Ning Rongrong picked up a grain, examined it carefully, and said, "This is the byproduct of refining soul crystals, soul sand."
"Soul sand?"
"Speaking of soul sand, we have to mention soul crystals." Ning Rongrong no longer kept the secret and introduced the origin of soul crystals.
Soul crystals come from soul crystal ore, but this ore cannot be used directly. It needs to be calcined at high temperature in a furnace before it can be used in the production of soul guides.
During this processing process, the impurities in the soul crystal will emerge in a gaseous state, and after cooling, they will form soul sand.
Unlike soul crystals, the particles of soul sand are very small. Although the quality of conducting soul power is extremely good, even better than soul crystals, it will even stick together under the action of soul power to form a channel similar to that able to transmit soul power. However, once there is no soul power, it will disperse. Therefore, no matter how good the quality of conducting soul power is, it is difficult to be used in the production of soul guides.
Therefore, this soul sand is just waste in the process of refining soul crystals.
The reason why Ning Rongrong knew all this was because among the assets of her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, there were many life-related soul guides.
"Does soul sand have an excellent property of conducting soul power?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. He felt that if this kind of soul sand was used well, it could definitely become the best material for conducting soul power.
Will the soul sand disperse without soul power?
This is clearly the most excellent quality!
If Douluo Continent can develop science and technology based on soul power, then this soul sand can be used to make "soul lines" similar to electric wires!
If there is soul power connected, they can be combined together to conduct soul power...
If the soul power is disconnected, the connection between the soul sands will also be dispersed...
Is there any material in the world that is safer, more convenient, and can be used to conduct soul power?
Not to mention, if this soul sand is in a gaseous state, it can still transmit soul power, which may allow the development of soul guides to achieve a qualitative leap!
Most of the soul masters in this world are unaware of this, the main reason being that most of them trust their own martial souls more and would not study soul guides.
Even the small group of people who study soul guides would probably only consider the function and role of a single soul guide, and fail to consider that this kind of soul sand may cause a huge change in the entire soul guide industry!
However, this is also the disadvantage of having extraordinary powers. Even in inventions and creations, thoughts will develop in the direction of assisting individuals as much as possible, and will not be able to consider the overall situation.
And under the roads of Luoxing City is a layer of soul sand that can conduct soul power... Zhou Qing is sure that the mastermind behind this is definitely not thinking the same thing as him, but is limited by financial resources and can only use soul sand.
But isn’t this also a case of miscalculation?
"Yes, the soul sand has an excellent property of transmitting soul power."
Ning Rongrong nodded affirmatively, "I heard from my father that the ancestors of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect once tried to remelt the soul sand to see if it could be cast into a whole piece. But unfortunately, even if it was recast into a whole piece, this material is still very brittle. With the slightest touch, it will fall apart and turn into particles as small as a fingernail or even comparable to sesame seeds. Therefore, this thing is useless for the production of soul guides."
"So, this soul sand is indeed not very useful for making soul guides."
Tang San nodded slightly, and also felt that although this kind of soul sand was extremely effective in conducting soul power, it would disperse if the soul power was lost, and could not be used in the production of soul guides at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing did not immediately express his appreciation for soul sand. After all, for soul sand to play a corresponding role, at least the relevant soul guide industrial chain must be established first. Otherwise, no matter how long he spoke, Tang San would not have a deep feeling at this time.
However, Tang San continued, "The ability to conduct soul power has also been used by someone who is secretly planning something, and he has built a soul guide core array covering Falling Star City. Even the external distribution of buildings and roads alone will affect the residents living in this city."
"Speaking of soul guide core arrays, my father said that most of the soul guides currently on the continent are life-related, while the core arrays of attack-related soul guides have been lost."
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San, "The wind leaf dart you showed yesterday is an offensive type of soul guide, right? Is it engraved with a complete offensive type of soul guide core array? If so, my father hopes to buy this array from you." Zhou Qing looked strange -
It was obvious that after Ning Rongrong returned yesterday, she must have told Ning Fengzhi about the Fengye Dart, which attracted his attention.
But what kind of soul guide is the wind leaf dart? It doesn't even have a complete soul guide core array. It just copies the soul guide inscriptions on the soul guide fan blades.
Tang San raised his eyebrows, but finally took out a wind leaf dart and a purchase manual for daily soul guides, and explained to Ning Rongrong: "I just engraved the soul guide inscriptions on the soul guide fan blades on the wind leaf dart at the suggestion of Brother Qing. It can't be regarded as a real soul guide device."
Ning Rongrong compared the soul guide inscriptions on the wind leaf dart with those on the soul guide fan and didn't find much difference. She frowned and said, "Is it that simple?"
"Well, it's that simple."
Today, Tang San has already realized that he was worrying too much in the past.
Most of the soul masters on this Douluo Continent are obsessed with improving their personal strength. In addition, the basic part of the cultivation system in this world is extremely weak, so much so that he now has some doubts. The appearance of soul guides in the soul master world relies on the excavation of ancient relics, rather than research and development by the soul masters of this era themselves.
Of course, this does not change Tang San's mentality of preparing for a rainy day.
What if some powerful force one day unearths some ultra-ancient ruins and finds a soul guide with extremely destructive power?
He must be prepared!
Moreover, after witnessing the power of the combination of soul guides and hidden weapons, Tang San's desire to surpass the Tang Sect's hidden weapons has become even more open.
More importantly, when it comes to the innovation of hidden weapons, Tang San will never allow himself to compromise!
"In addition to the wind leaf darts, have you developed other types of attack soul guides?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Have."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong was pleasantly surprised.
“But I’m not selling.”
Among the soul guide hidden weapons that Tang San has researched so far, the only one that can truly be counted as a soul guide weapon is the soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow (including the first and second editions).
But he has already regarded all the established sects in Douluo Continent as future competitors, so how could he sell them out so easily?
The Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow has a corresponding mechanism in its mechanical expansion structure. If someone who does not know the tricks disassembles it violently, the parts will be destroyed and it will be impossible to reassemble it.
But the patterns on the soul guide core array cannot be erased!
Therefore, it is impossible for Tang San to sell the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow in a short period of time and he can only provide it to his own people for use.
And Ning Rongrong can't be considered a real member of our side...
