Gu Shanhai had seen a lot of this, always calling for the teacher whenever there was an issue. It was fortunate that he was not in Liang State, otherwise he would have to find him every other day to ask how to handle this or that.
It was as if, without Gu Shanhai by his side, he wouldn’t use his brain at all, relying entirely on Gu Shanhai to do the thinking for him.
"Wait, if I send the Cursed Sword of the King to Luo Chuan, could it affect the opponent?" Gu Shanhai suddenly rembered this.
The sword could set soone on a path akin to the Heavenly Slaughter Star, the path of a king, well, just on the path, not ensuring one would definitely beco a king.
There’s no such thing as fate or destiny in this world, how could success be guaranteed?
"I doubt it’ll work, it might have during the High Magic Era of The Sun Never Sets Dynasty, but in this world, if it really ended up in Luo Chuan’s hands, there would be no turning around for him."
"Even now, I can’t turn things around with it in my own hands..."
How could a low-level instance equipnt dare clash with a high-level instance boss, it would be seeking death.
If Gu Shanhai were not cautious, him holding this Cursed Sword of the King now wouldn’t cause any significant issues.
At most, it would just reduce his luck a bit, that too his temporary luck from eating bottle gourds.
With ti’s accumulation, the luck provided to him by his current life’s fortunes had already doubled compared to ordinary people, a permanent kind of luck, and if he included the temporary luck from eating fried bottle gourds every day, it could increase by another half.
However, it was sowhat embarrassing to ntion because he resisted the curse, its effect also invalidated, these two were inherently one. Without the positive effects of the Heavenly Slaughter Star, there was no way the King’s path could function normally.
Thus, he thought, once he beca stronger, like breaking through the Heavenly Scenery Stage, he could start working on grinding the Stone of Destiny, the Cursed Sword of the King, and the karma of the Xuanwei Sect into a special Spirit Plant, naly the final piece in the Three-Life Spiritual Plant set.
Thinking of Heavenly Scenery, he felt a bit overwheld, the previous scenes of natural wonders he had branded were indeed that of Jiang Lu’s coronation.
Don’t ntion it, its effect was at least the strongest among the natural wonders Gu Shanhai had experienced, with few in the Xuanzhen Realm able to compare.
Gu Shanhai should have been satisfied, but if the natural wonder ford by the coronation ceremony of several provinces was this powerful, then how strong would the scene of the heavenly enthronent ceremony after unifying the world be?
Thinking of this, he beca quite eager, since he had a guaranteed foundation, why not strive for more?
Dreams are necessary to have, especially since the possibility of realizing them wasn’t small.
"Coming to such a high-energy world, many things just can’t keep up." This was an advantage for Gu Shanhai; after all, most of the things he could manipulate had so problems, not to ntion slight discrepancies in expertise.
What Gu Shanhai referred to as discrepancies in expertise, naturally ant that this world’s system didn’t suit his heavenly system; however, getting stronger was what mattered, the heavenly system actually fell short in terms of combat power, as it primarily revealed information.
"Marquis, we’ve discovered a small issue offshore, so fishern spotted an ironclad warship," reported Xu En, his tone laden with seriousness.
"Ironclad warship?" Gu Shanhai’s eyebrows twitched, surprised, which noble had also gone out to sea?
"Yes, my subordinates have investigated, and it is true, it’s utterly absurd that this iron could float on water," Xu En also found it hard to believe.
The ships of Long Country were actually made of wood, and the main structures leaned towards this use.
It could resist storms and reefs mainly because of the master soldiers and Daoist Soldiers; Gu Shanhai had developed naval strategies to pioneer mariti trade, which was mainly for making money.
Because the mariti comrce was monopolized by Long Country’s national traders, these people had the protection of the Long Country navy and did not need to worry about bad weather or various storms, which ant the shipbuilding industry existed to develop the naval military branch.
"In that case, outsiders wanting to intervene in the mariti trade either have to beco official national rchants of Long Country or risk it on their own, and they wouldn’t be obstructed," Gu Shanhai explained.
Thus, the shipbuilding industry seed sowhat malford—a situation that, under normal circumstances, would have seen Gu Shanhai building strategic warships long ago.
However, in terms of military force, Gu Shanhai did not possess technology capable of matching this world.
Even the God Slayer cha appeared sowhat inadequate in this world, let alone weapons like pistols and sniper rifles. The system and policies could be used, but using technology was inferior to directly employing military strategic systems.
Gu Shanhai estimated that only the technologies from the main world of Hero World would be sufficient here; the technologies from the world before Shen Heng’s transmigration would probably fall short.
"It was impossible to compete with lower against higher."
It was like using a modern world with technology from around the millennium to benchmark against an Immortal World, which possessed apocalyptic power and control over the great Dao, or comparing a Martial World, where mastering True Qi made one a Great Grandmaster, with a technological world that could casually interfere with dinsions and cosmic paraters. There was simply no basis for comparison.
"There’s nothing impossible, can you find out who it is?" Gu Shanhai asked.
Ironclad warships were indeed powerful in a world with low magic and low martial arts but in this world, even a fleet of aircraft carriers was insignificant.
Even Gu Shanhai’s heavily modified Big Ivan couldn’t damage Luo Chuan, who possessed a King-level Daoist Soldier. Now, in the main battlefield of the three countries, regular soldiers were equipped with King-level Daoist Soldiers; not even a nuclear bomb could pose a threat, let alone an ironclad warship.
Developing modern technology in this world was indeed feasible, but to develop it to the sa standard as military strategies would take a lifeti.
"Not sure, but according to intelligence, it’s suspected to be Yan Country. Besides us in Long Country, only the Bai Province part of Yan Country borders the sea," Xu En speculated based on the intelligence.
"Yan Country?" Gu Shanhai had always suspected that Zhou Ding was a transmigrator, but there was no evidence. Mainly, the technological boom in Yan Country was abnormal, having acquired so much technology within a few years and improving the welfare of its entire population, its dostic productivity was almost catching up with Long Country.
Of course, the most abnormal aspect was their utilization rate. Ideally, as national power increased, so should military power, but it remained third, as if sothing was consuming a major part of its national power, preventing it from being effectively used.
It was like having a large mory capacity but most of it occupied by so unknown entity.
Otherwise, with Yan Country’s technology and national power, not to ntion more, Jiang Lu and Luo Chuan would need to join forces just to resist.
Otherwise, during Zhou Ding’s coronation as emperor, he would have been attacked long ago, instead of both parties ignoring each other and targeting Xu Bu of Zhou Country.
"Is there any related intelligence from spies within Yan Country?" Since Gu Shanhai couldn’t use Prophetic Divination, mainly because Zhou Ding was concealed.
"Currently, there isn’t. Yan Country is extrely difficult to infiltrate. All the officials are highly loyal, with no successful cases of bribery, and many successful infiltrators have been lost," Xu En sighed. He had never seen such bizarrely loyal officials before.
Thus, infiltration attempts into Yan Country by various powers have been very difficult, with very few successes.
"Have the Navy patrol more and try to capture alive if possible. If not, sink them on the spot," Gu Shanhai contemplated. If it truly was Yan Country, did this an tanks and airplanes had already been produced? If it was rely technological products, it indeed wouldn’t be a big issue.
The fear was that they could be converted into military equipnt for use by Daoist Soldiers, which would exponentially increase their power, akin to technological magical tools. Unlike magical tools, however, military equipnt was truly ant only for warti.
This was sothing even Gu Shanhai found difficult to handle.
"Also, send a letter to His Majesty, asking him to initiate Plan Two," Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but consider this scenario, fortunately having a counterasure plan.
As for the nefarious Yan Country, he had certainly taken precautions.
