MTL - What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?-v2 Chapter 463 Man can conquer nature
Chapter 463 Man can conquer nature
On the beach, Tang Lin unfolded the lotus amulet, and engineering teams came out of it. The super-large transport vehicle looked like a hill, and Li Jing, who was watching from the Chentangguan headquarters, was stunned.
Although Tang Lin paid real money to rent the land, he still needed to rely on Li Jing's face to rent such a large area. Out of emotion and reason, he wanted to come and see what Tang Lin rented the place for.
At first he thought that Tang Lin was going to build a cave for himself, after all, immortals like to practice in famous mountains and great rivers. But now it seems that it is not like building a cave, but more like building a city.
Those huge mechanism creations look like some kind of trucks, but why do the wheels turn into huge mechanism feet, and then open on this uneven wasteland, revealing all kinds of strange metal creations inside.
There are more and more people, and there are more and more machines. Soon this wasteland will be full of smoke and dust, and large-scale construction will be carried out in full swing.
The more Li Jing watched, the more strange he became, and the more he read, the more he didn't understand. In the end, he could only comfort himself with a sentence of "mysterious magic".
Tang Lin couldn't help with this kind of infrastructure, so he simply sat next to Li Jing to drink tea and chat. With a swipe of his finger, the sand condensed into a high platform, and Tang Lin sat on it with Li Jing, with Empress Shiji and Nezha beside him.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Jing praised Nezha for his hard work in cultivation, but made insinuations that children need to sleep more to grow up. Seeing Li Jing's eyes, Tang Lin knew that he was heartbroken for his son's dark circles, and felt that he, the master, was overly urging him.
Tang Lin felt 10,000 grievances in his heart. Your son played games every day. If he hadn’t cultivated well, he would have died suddenly. Can you blame him for being a strict master? However, Li Jing seems to be right. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Nezha really hasn't grown any hair.
Nezha also seemed to know that something was wrong, and quickly explained a few words, saying that he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation in the past few days, so he only stayed up all night for a few days, and recovered after a few days of sleep.
After deceiving his father, Nezha looked at the calm-looking Empress Shiji next to him, and thought that when he went back, he must learn the spell of automatically combing his hair and removing dark circles under his eyes.
After chatting for a while, Li Jing finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Tang Lin, "Master Li, please forgive Li's abruptness, what is this building?"
"Haha, Mr. Li may not believe it. What is built here is a magic weapon that can call wind and rain. Once it is completed, it will ensure that there will be no more droughts and floods in Chentang Pass." Tang Lin said proudly.
The weather controller may not be as powerful as "Global Storm", but controlling the weather in a small city is not a big problem. As long as the amount of rainfall is controlled, the drought and flood will basically be solved.
In fact, modern society has almost solved drought and flood disasters, but it usually depends on the construction of water conservancy projects in the whole country. For example, there is no industrial foundation in the world of Fengshen, so it is impossible to carry out nationwide water conservancy adjustments. It is already good to be able to control the rainfall at Chentangguan.
But after hearing such an awesome thing, Li Jing only said a few polite words, almost like an "oh".
Tang Lin was a little surprised, and asked strangely: "Could Zongbing Li think this thing is useless?"
"The Taoist priest is Nezha's teacher, and Li is just a mortal, but Li asked his peers to meet him. Please forgive Li for being rude. The Taoist priest can call wind and rain, so it is naturally an extremely powerful treasure. However, the fairy **** has not entered the world for a long time. It’s just that it’s not good for the world to have a shower or two once in a while.”
Li Jing still thought that this belonged to the magic weapon of the immortal family, the kind of immortal who has been practicing in seclusion for decades, even if he has such a powerful magic weapon, how can it be possible for ordinary people to rain twice a year in time?
When a severe drought strikes, tens of thousands of people can starve to death in a year. This kind of compassion that occurs once in decades is naturally meaningless.
"Besides, wind, frost, rain and snow are controlled by the Dragon King, and when the heavens want to send disasters, even immortals can't disobey them. Therefore, Li has the courage to think that this thing is useless."
Li Jing's last sentence is the end of the Tao. Now that the court has just been established, it will be in charge of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the cycle of the four seasons. In the future, it will also be in charge of the cycle of life and death.
From disorder to order, but also from freedom to rules.
If you want to say good or bad, I can't tell the difference.
But as long as people rule, even immortals have selfish biases. Now that the Heavenly Court is first established, maybe everything will be handled fairly, but as time goes by, it is inevitable that he will feel arrogant when he is in charge of everything in the world, and treats ordinary people like ants.
In the story of Journey to the West in later generations, there is a mortal emperor who offends the gods and gods, and the heavens can judge this place to have no rain for three years, and he does not care about the hunger and cold of the people and forces them to exchange children for food.
Blaming innocent people for one person's fault, this kind of thing can be done by gods, just like when the Dragon King of the Four Seas wants to flood Chentangguan, he is relentless. This is a typical private use of public equipment, using power for personal gain.
Tang Lin thought about it carefully. He liked Nezha as an apprentice precisely because he had practiced reincarnation of life and death and could transfer the hidden wounds on Li Jing's body, but he would rather suffer by himself than be replaced by a death row prisoner.
Such three views are in line with the thinking of Tang Lin, a modern person.
But it is not easy to say right or wrong, after all, it is still the era of slavery, and even people can be the property of others. The concepts are completely different, and it is really difficult to reconcile.
Having figured this out, Tang Lin didn't intend to use his own three views to reverse Li Jing's thinking, but said to him: "Mr. Li, wind, frost, rain and snow are controlled by the Dragon King, so why does Dayu control the water and people dig wells?" Embankment?"
Li Jing was puzzled and said: "When the sky is flooded, people have to save themselves. Naturally, it is necessary to control the water. The same is true for digging wells and embankments."
"At this time, the Dragon King is no longer in charge?" Tang Lin asked again.
Li Jing vaguely felt that something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "This...you can't let the common people wait for death. Ants are greedy for life, let alone human beings."
"Yes, ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. Since digging wells and embankments can be done, why not artificial rainfall? This is no different from building embankments to store water." Tang Lin continued.
"The Taoist priest was joking, how can manpower make it rain, only those who have successfully cultivated the Tao can use magic power to call the wind and rain." Li Jing didn't believe it at all.
"If there is a Hercules, if you pour water high into the sky, can the splashing of water be considered as artificial rainfall?" Tang Lin laughed.
"How does a bucket of water count as rainfall."
"One barrel doesn't count, what about a thousand barrels, ten thousand barrels, ten million barrels? Doesn't that count?"
Li Jing is not a fool, he retorted: "If there are already 10 million barrels of water, why bother to pour it into the sky, just irrigate the fertile fields."
"That's right, that's right. Li Zongbing only needs to accept that the tens of millions of barrels of water can be regarded as the self-help of the people. When this treasure is completed, it means that tens of millions of barrels of clear water have been stored in the sky in advance, and they will be lowered only at critical times." Tang Lin was confident. say.
Li Jing asked thoughtfully, "Could it be possible that ordinary people can manipulate this treasure?"
"Of course, this treasure can be used by everyone, and it is a treasure that man can conquer the sky." Tang Lin said proudly.
At this moment, a gloomy wind blew up on the ground, and a rather handsome young man in brocade clothes appeared on the high platform with a gloomy face, and said coldly to Tang Lin: "You are not ashamed of your words, I want to see how much you have sharp."
"Who are you?" Tang Lin asked.
Hearing Tang Lin's question, this handsome young man proudly declared his family name: "The third prince of Donghai Dragon Palace, Ao Bing!"
