Chapter 294 Earth Fire Peak"Heh... He's an expert, but too rigid!" After Taoist Sun and the group of Taoists left, Taoist Sanjin said. He had been in Yangzhou for seven or eight years and his thoughts had changed long ago. After wandering in the martial arts world for so long, he only regretted not coming to Yangzhou earlier and not meeting Shi Feizhe earlier. "Let's go! Didn't you say we were going to Dihuo Peak?" Shi Feizhe said to him. "Yes! Let's go!" Taoist Sanjin said and led the way. He was very familiar with this place, and even many Taoist priests from the Heavenly Dao who passed by took the initiative to greet Taoist Sanjin, calling him "Uncle Sanjin." This is even more true after reaching the Earth Fire Peak. The Earth Fire Peak is located on an active volcano, with a huge lava lake in the middle that is bubbling and emitting the smell of sulfur. Over thousands of years, the lava lake has been carved into a flat platform around it.
What is surprising is that there is a huge stone pillar standing in the lava lake, and there is a workshop on the pillar, where someone is banging on it. On the platform surrounding the lava lake, three huge chains were pulled to fix the large stone pillars. Each link of the chain is as thick as a man’s waist! "Uncle Sanjin, Master Dongfang is in the stone archway. I'll go call him!" A strong and dark-skinned Taoist priest saw Taoist Sanjin and said hurriedly. "You go! If he is busy, we can wait for a while." Taoist Sanjin said. "Yes!" The Taoist bowed, and with a gust of hot wind, he stepped on the iron chain and came to the workshop in the middle of the stone pillar like a cat on the chain. It turns out that the people who climbed the Tiandao Dihuo Peak had to step on huge chains to reach the workshop on the stone pillar. The Taoist priest was gone for a while and came back, saying that Master Dongfang was busy. Taoist Sanjin nodded and took Shi Feizhe to walk around the Dihuo Peak. The lava lake is surrounded by a flat and warm terrain. The part with higher ground leeward is the residence of the Taoist priests of Dihuo Peak, and the rest close to the lava lake is the workbench. Shi Feizhe saw a Taoist priest with his upper body naked, practicing fiery martial arts, holding a slightly reddish hammer with flames in his hand, and hitting an iron bar. The iron bar was like an orange fruit, being held by another strong hand, and was being deformed with a clanging sound. Such a picture is full of power and tension. This is not a Taoist priest at all, he is clearly the god of forging in ancient Greece! Shi Feizhe saw it clearly. When the iron bar in his hand cooled down, he threw it into a small lava stream beside him. After heating it up, he used his internal energy to grab the iron bar from the lava and continued to hammer it. The Taoists of Dihuo Peak have been very skilled in utilizing geothermal energy for thousands of years. All kinds of smelting and forging are done using the heat from the lava, combined with their special skills. Very strange. It turns out that there are such people in the world! With a little training, he can become a high-level technician! Shi Feizhe was overjoyed, the obsession of Dengtian Dao with ascending to heaven made them different from the people in Jianghu, but these Taoists of Dihuo Peak were the ones who perfected the main force of the Rockets.
No matter how advanced the idea is, someone has to make it come true and develop it! It’s possible that the rocket on the path to heaven was made by them. It’s really amazing! Taoist Sanjin took Shi Feizhe on a tour, which made Shi Feizhe very interested. He even talked with the Taoists from Dihuo Peak, worked as an ironsmith himself, and deduced their skills. "The True Golden Secret of Earth and Fire"! It was a very interesting technique that made the most of flames and lava, and could also temper one's strength and mind through forging iron. The Taoists of Dihuo Peak were amazed when they saw Shi Feizhe learn their technique in the blink of an eye, hammering with iron and having a lot of fun. It is said that a very powerful demon named Shi Lao Mo came to Yangzhou this time. Could this person who was with Master Sanjin be the demon named Shi Lao Mo? "I was a bit busy just now! Urge, urge, urge. That old man from Dengtian Peak was so anxious that he insisted on making a little thing." A loud-voiced, short, thin man with his upper body naked saw Taoist Sanjin and shouted from a distance. The immortal old man on Dengtian Peak is obviously Sima Qiudao. "Dongfang Yanyan, this is Shi Feizhe. Shi Feizhe, this is Dongfang Yanyan, the master of Dihuo Peak." Taoist Sanjin saw him coming and introduced him and Shi Feizhe to each other. Shi Feizhe saw that although Dongfang Yanyan was short and thin, the strength in him was very restrained, like a dormant volcano, which would cause landslides and earth-shattering once it erupted. Dongfang Yanyan was surprised to see Shi Feizhe was plain-looking and seemed to have no cultivation. If someone could make him feel that he had no cultivation, then that must be... Young man, that’s incredible! "I am the Taoist Dongfang Yanyan, nice to meet you, sir!" Sima Yanyan, with his upper body naked, bowed. Shi Feizhe returned the greeting and said, "Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! Only after seeing you did I realize how vast the world is, and how many hidden dragons and crouching tigers there are!" "No way! Compared with your rocket blueprint, I am just a frog in the well. We have been thinking about ascending to the sky for thousands of years, but we never thought that you would realize it." Dongfang Yanyan said again: “Although that thing is quite difficult to make, it made me so worried that I lost all my hair!” "Ha~" Shi Feizhe laughed, "You can rub it out with your hands, it's really surprising." "How shameful! I was forced out of it!" Dongfang Yanyan waved her hand and said. "I am planning to build a bridge in Jiangling in some time. I wonder if you are interested?" Shi Feizhe said. "The old Taoist doesn't know how to build a bridge!" Dongfang Yanyan said doubtfully. "It's a steel bridge. Made of steel and concrete, it spans more than three miles!" Shi Feizhe stretched out three fingers. "Huh?" Dongfang Yanyan was stunned. He said directly, "Won't someone steal the iron?" Iron is also a metal and is valuable! "We'll talk about that later." Shi Feizhe said, "The calculation phase of the bridge has been completed, but we are in great need of people to forge and smelt it." Most of the graduates in the past few years have entered the administrative and educational systems. Only by entering these two systems can the administrative operation and education be maintained. Even with calculations and drawings, steel with specified parameters cannot be produced; without skilled workers to forge suitable parts and assemble them on site. That means we can’t build a bridge. When encountering mountains, we cut through them; when encountering water, we build bridges. After thousands of years in the Dihuo Peak, a lot of experience must have been accumulated. If the accumulation is mixed with that of a steel plant, it will definitely break through the material barrier.
After Shi Feizhe traveled through time, he could only remember the proportions of a few commonly used steels. Who knew about those special steels? Taoist Sanjin said: "Indeed. With you joining us, Old Dongfang, it will definitely be much faster." “But I am a person who has ascended to heaven, isn’t it…” Dongfang Yanyan said. He is really interested in this matter. The steel bridge is something that has never existed in the world before. Forging such a thing must be very meaningful. "That's not a big deal!" Shi Feizhe said, "After tomorrow, it may not be the same." The next day, September 9th, finally arrived. I don’t know if what I wrote about building a bridge is correct. As a liberal arts student, I am so useless.
