Chapter 129: Are We Sideways?

As the new students were picked up by their respective student unions one after another, the square that was still lively just now quickly deserted, leaving only Li Yao and seven or eight freshmen.

Except for Li Yao, everyone frowned and sighed - they were all freshmen in the refining department.

"Alas, the big guys have all settled, and there are only a few of us left who are difficult brothers, the refining department is worthy of being the most rubbish major in the Great Wilderness War Academy, look, connecting new students is half a beat slower than others, and no one has appeared yet!"

A slightly chubby boy with dark skin pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

His name is Huang Tong, and he has a very outgoing personality, and he quickly connected the atmosphere and made the brothers and sisters familiar with each other.

After everyone finished introducing each other's names and hometowns, Li Yao finally couldn't help it and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart:

"Brothers, why are you so depressed? Although the refining department is not very good, but after all, it is the 'Nine Greats', no matter how bad it is, you can always find a job after graduation, as for making you so uncomfortable? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and they all looked at Li Yao with very strange eyes.

Li Yao was stared at by them, and said, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Huang Tong heweird smile:

"It seems that Li Yao must not have had a good understanding of the major of the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy before filling in the volunteers."

Li Yao frowned: ''

"I really haven't had an in-depth understanding, I just know that it's one of the worst majors in the 'Nine', so what? At most, the level of teaching is lower, as long as we work hard enough, we may not be able to succeed. ”

Huang Tong let out a long sigh and said:

"I know you haven't gotten to the bottom of it. Otherwise, with your identity as the champion of the municipal college entrance examination, how could you step into this quagmire? ”

"The quagmire? I don't understand! ”

"Sue you, classmate Li Yao, the biggest problem with the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy is not that the teaching level is too low, but that the refining concept here is fundamentally different from the mainstream in the refiner circle, and it belongs to the 'non-mainstream'."

"If you use the words of the Ancient Cultivation Realm 40,000 years ago, in the eyes of mainstream refiners. The refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy is the left side door! ”

"The left side of the door - so strict?" Li Yao was taken aback

Huang Tong nodded and said, "It's stricter than you think, and you can even rise to the level of the 'Great Dao Dispute'!" ”

"The battle of the avenue?" Li Yao frowned, and Ding Yin also said the same, which seems to be true.

He remembered that on the Liaoyuan, he had encountered a conflict between a professor at Nebula University and a teacher at the First Military Academy of the Federation.

In order to argue about the "nature of psionic energy", the two had a "Great Avenue Dispute" and almost "went out to do one".

If it weren't for the large crowd and many onlookers at that time, maybe the two would really have a big fight. Kill people.

Zheng Dongming also explained to Li Yao that a "cultivator" is a "person who pursues the truth", and every cultivator is extremely stubborn about the concept he upholds.

Even if a cultivator with a gentle personality encounters a "Great Dao Dispute", he will be sharp and uncompromising until he completely kills the "truth" that the enemy believes in.

"Truth" is the foundation of a cultivator, and the "Great Dao Dispute" is the biggest war for a cultivator. It's even stricter than the war with demons and monsters, and there is no room for relaxation.

"Is there such a big difference between the 'truth' and the mainstream concept that the Great Wilderness War Academy's refining department believes? Can it rise to the level of 'Avenue Dispute'? ”

Li Yao really didn't understand.

Huang Tong coughed dryly. Explains:

"The so-called 'battle of the avenue' is the debate between the elite and the grassroots."

"The mainstream refining theory represented by Shenhai University advocates taking the elite route, and the more complex the design of the magic weapon, the tighter the structure, and the more powerful the better!"

"As for the cost of refining the magic weapon, it is too high. The structure is too complex to have a high failure rate, and the conditions for equipping magic weapons are becoming more and more demanding...... These problems are all minor and irrelevant in the eyes of mainstream refining theory. ”

"According to this philosophy, it is the high-level cultivators who decide the outcome of the war. Therefore, it is necessary to refine powerful high-level magic weapons at any cost, which can be used by the strong people in the Yudan period and the old monsters of the primordial infants, and at most some ordinary magic weapons can be refined for the cultivators in the foundation building period. ”

"As for Qi refining stage cultivators and ordinary soldiers, they can't control the overall situation, so it's not worth thinking about, and it's not the focus of the refiner's attention."

"This is the general opinion in the refiner circle, and most schools and refiner sects think so."

"And the refining department of our school is probably the only exception, because our school originally rose from the grassroots, so we pay special attention to the combat effectiveness of low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers."

"In the concept of refining weapons of the grassroots school, it is not the high-level cultivators who decide the outcome of the war, on the contrary, it is the low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers who are crowded with people who are the key."

"As long as you equip thousands of Qi Refining Stage cultivators and ordinary soldiers with suitable magic weapons, and the ants bite the elephant to death, even if the primordial infant is an old monster, under the impact of tens of thousands of Qi Refining Stage cultivators, it will still be crushed into pulp!"

"From this point of view, the criterion for determining the merits of a magic weapon is obviously not power."

"Low cost, simple structure, stable performance, not easy to damage, or easy to repair after damage, using ordinary raw materials instead of natural materials, can be refined in large quantities on the assembly line, and anyone can quickly learn to use it...... With these advantages, it is a real good magic weapon! ”

"You see, the elite faction and the grassroots faction have diametrically opposite magic weapon refining concepts, and they are the most typical 'Great Dao Dispute'."

"At present, the elite faction is the mainstream of the circle, and 90% of the refiners belong to the elite faction, they regard the grassroots faction as ignorant barbarians, and even joke that the magic weapons refined by the grassroots faction are burning sticks and iron lumps, which are not real magic weapons at all."

"The leader of the grassroots faction is our department head, Professor Mo Xuan, who almost single-handedly carried the banner of the entire grassroots faction, and adhered to the concept of refining magic weapons for ordinary people and low-level cultivators, which has not been shaken for decades, so in the circle of refiners, there is the nickname of 'madman'."

"The mainstream refiner circle is very contemptuous of the students of the 'Mo Maniac'. After we graduate, it is almost impossible to find a good job in the mainstream refiner circle, and the major sects ranked among the top 500 in the Federation will not recruit graduates from the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy, we can only go to some small and medium-sized sects, or grassroots troops in the army, to engage in the simplest basic refining work, in short, the future is very bleak. ”

"Above. It is the 'Great Dao Dispute' in the refiner circle, as long as you have an in-depth understanding, you will not apply for the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy. ”

"Take me as an example, I never dreamed of studying in the refining department, my first choice was the sword cultivation direction of the martial arts department, but I chose 'obey the assignment', and as a result, the score was not enough to be a sword cultivator, so I was transferred to the refining department!"

"I didn't really want to come, but I've been repeating it for two years. I really don't want to repeat the third year of study, being a 'high school sixth student', that would be too embarrassing, right? I had no choice but to pinch my nose. ”

Huang Tong's words aroused the resonance of all the freshmen, and everyone screamed.

"Me too, me too, I didn't think about studying any ghost refining department, my father forced me to come. It's said that it's the 'Nine Majors', and it's still very majestic to say it! ”

"Who would be willing to learn some grassroots alchemy. I've already thought about it, I'm going to change departments as soon as I have the opportunity, not to mention the four key majors, any major is better than going crazy with 'Mo Crazy'! ”

"It's the same, brothers, let's work together. Strive for an early transfer! ”

Huang Tong saw Li Yao's thoughtful appearance, and thought that he was worried about the future, so he couldn't help laughing:

"Li Yao, what do you have to worry about? Your strength is so strong, just now both the Iron Fist Society and the Chaos Blade Hall have sent you invitations. You can change the system in minutes, and no matter how bad the refining system is, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Li Yao pondered for a long time, shook his head and said:

"Thank you for your introduction, Huang Tong, but I have no intention of changing departments, on the contrary, after listening to your introduction, I think it is really right to choose the refining department of the Great Wilderness War Academy - the refining concept here is very much in line with my appetite."

All the students were dumbfounded, as if they were looking at a monster.

Huang Tong was stunned and said, "Could it be that you are also like 'Mo Madman', insisting on the concept of refining weapons from the grassroots school?" ”

"Yes." Li Yao admitted it frankly.

After devouring a large number of Ou Yezi's memory fragments, Li Yao's understanding of refining science was also unconsciously tainted with the style of the ancient cultivation era 40,000 years ago.

In the era of ancient cultivation, there were not so many complicated magic weapons, such as the "Taiyi Thunder Magnetic Cannon", which required hundreds of thousands of components to refine the magic weapon, did not exist at all.

Even if it is a divine weapon that can kill the old monster of the gods, it is composed of hundreds of components at most.

Therefore, Li Yao naturally advocates the concept of simple and direct refining, and is somewhat resistant to particularly complex and precise magic weapons.

What's more......

Li Yao vaguely remembered that in a dream a long time ago, in the world of his previous life, there were two super hegemons, starting from two different design concepts, they created two completely different styles, but they were equally powerful!

One is "Soviet-style"!

One is "German style"!

German-style weapons, like elitist magic weapons, have complex and precise structures, high manufacturing costs, complex production processes, and extremely high requirements for operators.

And, of course, it's incredibly powerful.

Soviet-style weapons, like grassroots magic weapons, are specially created for the tactics of the sea of people, do not force power, only seek simple and reliable structure, low manufacturing cost, can be mass-produced in the most humble workshop, so that illiterate ordinary people and even women can immediately use it.

With powerful German-style weapons, the former super-hegemony once swept through the Eight Desolations, devoured half of the civilized world, and at the tactical level, achieved one brilliant victory after another.

But at a strategic level......

Soviet-style weapons with simple structure, low cost, and easy operation have been pouring out of the humble factory workshops and gathering into an overwhelming army of steel, under the operation of a group of rude and barbaric, only bloody and courageous, and inexperienced soldiers, they have stubbornly withstood the ravages of German-style weapons and the most elite soldiers, and finally even pushed back, smashing those German-style weapons that are extremely delicate and can be called works of art.

Li Yao's motherland in his previous life brought the essence of the Soviet-style style to the limit, and the weapons he manufactured were incomparably cheaper and ugly in appearance, which was simply dirty, but the combat effectiveness he exerted on the battlefield could be called "madness"!
