Upon hearing everyone's questions, Yu Chen couldn't help but lower his head and fall into contemplation.
Of course, this contemplation wasn't out of fear, but rather a struggle to concretely describe the new concept of a tunnel boring machine to everyone.
After a long silence, he finally thought of a suitable explanation.
"This thing is quite complex to explain. But you can simply understand it as an excavation instrument specifically designed for mountain tunnels."
"It's like a mechanical pangolin. With its help, we'll increase the efficiency of overall tunnel excavation work by several times."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, spread out a piece of paper, and began to quickly draw and sketch on it.
Before this, Yu Chen had never truly displayed his drawing skills in front of everyone.
Even in the memory fragments, the onlookers hadn't seen Yu Chen specifically train for it.
But now that he actually started drawing,
everyone realized the extraordinary nature of Yu Chen's drawing skills.
His drawing technique was different from all existing techniques on the Douluo Continent. It looked very casual and simple.
But it was these seemingly simple few strokes that clearly depicted the structure and principle of the tunnel boring machine.
He began to explain, and as soon as his voice faded,
the shape of the tunnel boring machine clearly appeared on the paper.
Seeing the shape of the tunnel boring machine appear on the paper,
it wasn't just the previously puzzled Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi who were swayed.
Under the heavenly curtain, all the onlookers were equally captivated.
After their excitement, they looked up again, unable to help but exclaim once more.
"The difference between people is truly greater than the difference between people and dogs. How do you think Yu Chen's brain is wired?"
"How can he have so many ingenious ideas? If it were me, let alone thinking of them, I'd even find his proposed ideas hard to understand, as if I were in a fog."
"Don't say it, it makes me feel a little sorry for the Clear Sky Sect in that parallel World now. They originally had the top Tool Spirit, Clear Sky Hammer, and could have easily won, but then such a monster appeared. How can they fight now? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."
"Who says otherwise? It feels like the two sides are completely on different levels. What if you have the Clear Sky Hammer? No matter how exquisite the Spirit you create, you can't hand-craft something like a tunnel boring machine in your entire life."
Inside Shrek Academy.
The Shrek Seven Devils mostly had similar thoughts.
Of course, not everyone expressed sympathy for the Clear Sky Sect in the parallel World.
At least Ning Rongrong was not among them.
So, when she heard everyone say this, she immediately sneered, looking completely indifferent as she replied,
"Pity? What's there to pity? It's said that one can survive even if Heaven commits a sin, but one cannot survive if one commits a sin oneself. Isn't the Clear Sky Sect a typical example of self-inflicted sin now?"
"If they really want to blame someone this time, they can't blame anyone else; they can only blame themselves for lax discipline. A scoundrel like Tang Hao emerged within their Sect, forcefully pushing them to Yu Chen's opposite side."
Ning Rongrong spoke, her words implying that the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao were entirely to blame for their own predicament.
Hearing her say that,
it was hard to say what others thought.
Tang Hao, of course, was a hundred, a thousand times displeased, so much so that as soon as Ning Rongrong's words fell,
Tang Hao already snorted coldly.
He spoke in a chilling tone, pointing out,
"What did you call Tang Hao, a scoundrel?!"
"Ning Rongrong, I think you've really been spoiled by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
After saying this, terrifying pressure already surged around him in all directions.
Feeling the terrifying pressure surging from his body,
even Sword Douluo's expression changed somewhat.
His face showed more solemnity and vigilance.
However, compared to his vigilance and caution,
Ning Rongrong's expression remained as calm as ever.
At this moment, there was no fear in her eyes at all.
After hearing his words, she immediately raised her head, replying with a matter-of-fact expression,
"How was anything I just said not the truth? Or what did I say wrong?"
"Didn't Senior Tang Hao previously declare that he would sever ties with his parallel World self? Now you can't even handle a few of my complaints. Does Senior's talk of severing ties mean nothing but empty words that shouldn't be taken seriously?"
Hearing her retort, the anger on Tang Hao's face also stiffened.
However, at this moment, he didn't change his mind because of Ning Rongrong's few words.
He quickly thought of a countermeasure, snorting coldly, and added with some displeasure,
"What this old man said earlier was, of course, the truth. This time, I'm angry not because you insulted my parallel World self, but because you acted too frivolous and rude towards a Titled Douluo level expert."
"Is this the upbringing expected of the Eldest Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the Upper Three Sects?"
As soon as these words came out,
everyone present's expressions changed.
Even Ning Rongrong, who had been full of pride, now had a more serious expression.
After all, while she might be pampered and arrogant on a daily basis,
that didn't mean she could disregard the Sect's honor and completely ignore it.
In fact, the opposite was true.
The more someone like Ning Rongrong, the more they valued the so-called Sect's honor.
It was precisely because of this that upon hearing Tang Hao's words, she uncharacteristically refrained from mocking or teasing.
Instead, her expression became more serious, and she finally began to earnestly explain the issue, saying,
"My saying this has nothing to do with upbringing; it's simply stating the truth."
"If it weren't for his existence, I feel that among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect would be the most suitable for cooperation with Yu Chen, wouldn't it?"
"But precisely because of Tang Hao's individual existence, the Clear Sky Sect missed the opportunity to cooperate with Yu Chen and even became his primary target of attack."
"They say one rotten apple spoils the bunch. From this perspective, saying that Tang Hao in the parallel World single-handedly dragged the entire Clear Sky Sect into hell. Is there any problem with that? If you put yourself in the shoes of a Clear Sky Sect member in the parallel World and saw such a Tang Hao, what would you think? I don't need to say more, do I? Calling him a scoundrel is already merciful, isn't it?"
"I..."
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
He never expected the other party to say such a thing, leaving him somewhat speechless.
And as he became speechless and fell silent,
the ordinary students gathered around Shrek Academy
were all convinced by Ning Rongrong's remarks.
They nodded in deep agreement and began to chatter and discuss again.
It was clear they all felt that what Ning Rongrong had said was extremely reasonable.
However, compared to the continuous discussions about this matter at the Spirit Master Academy,
the focus of the ordinary people on the Douluo Continent was clearly not on this.
This time, even the professional haters who had always been annoyed by Tang Hao and his son didn't focus on mocking them.
Instead, they were once again filled with joy and excitement at Yu Chen's vision of ordinary people moving mountains and filling seas.
"What does it mean for knowledge to change destiny? This is truly knowledge changing destiny! Yu Chen's merit is immeasurable; he has completely opened up a new path, giving ordinary people a value in existence on this Douluo Continent."
"Exactly! Ordinary people are finally no longer mere dependents of Spirit Masters. As long as they are willing to study diligently, I feel that the future of ordinary people is also very bright, and they may not be much weaker than many ordinary Spirit Masters."
"Immeasurable merit!"
"What is immeasurable merit? This is true immeasurable merit!"
"Why? Why does only the parallel World have Yu Chen's existence, but our World does not?
Heaven, please let our World also have its own Yu Chen!
As long as you can fulfill this wish of ours, we are willing to pay any price!"
"What's the point of having a Tang San God King? Seriously. Does his becoming a god benefit us in any way?"
"That's absolutely true, Heaven is really too cruel. I didn't used to think there was anything wrong with the lives of ordinary people, but it's different now; now I genuinely feel uncomfortable staying even one more day!"
I could have endured the darkness.
If I had never seen the light!
This statement perfectly reflected the mindset of the Douluo Continent's onlookers.
Did Tang San know about everyone's thoughts? Of course, he knew perfectly well.
However, at this moment, he felt no shame or self-reflection because of it.
This time, when he looked down again, he even felt a bit indignant.
He felt that the onlookers were deliberately making things difficult for him.
After all, from the very beginning, he had never had the idea of helping the common people.
Since he had never had that thought from the start, hearing everyone say such things now naturally made him feel inexplicable and absurd.
After regaining his composure, he lowered his head and couldn't help but wildly complain in his heart.
The onlookers were being a bit excessive.
After all, before he transmigrated, what he was best at was fighting alone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly infiltrated the Tang Sect as an outer disciple to steal cultivation techniques.
And because of this,
he looked down on those untalented individuals from the bottom of his heart.
With this thought, not only did Tang San not have any intention of benefiting the masses after becoming a god, but he became even more resolute in his previous beliefs.
He felt it was more suitable to create an environment where the fittest survive.
Of course, although he thought so in his heart,
he wasn't foolish enough to openly state it to outsiders.
Instead, he completely hid it deep within his heart.
And just as he was gritting his teeth and making up his mind.
In the real World, Clear Sky Sect.
Unlike Tang San's people, who were filled with gloom and indignation, Tang Xiao and the others were exceptionally excited and invigorated at this moment.
They didn't even have time to feel sad for the Clear Sky Sect in the parallel World throughout the entire process.
Because the focus of everyone's attention at this moment
was entirely on the shield tunneling machine blueprint that Yu Chen had just drawn.
Among them, Tang Xiao showed the most excitement and exhilaration.
Just as Yu Chen finished drawing the blueprint on the heavenly curtain,
he immediately turned his head.
And excitedly questioned Tang Yuehua and the others.
"How is it? Did you record it?"
"Every detail of that structural diagram of the shield tunneling machine must be exactly the same, only then can we ensure that we can finally reproduce it 1:1!!"
As he spoke, his expression grew serious, and he repeatedly urged them.
Seeing him like this, Tang Yuehua immediately spoke up to reassure him,
"It's recorded, Big Brother, you can rest assured on this point. I specifically found 5 well-informed and strong-memoried painters and had them record it separately. There's absolutely no way there could be any mistakes in this aspect, it's just..."
However, as her words came to an end, her expression couldn't help but show a bit more hesitation.
Seeing her expression, the previously excited Tang Xiao naturally grew anxious.
He immediately turned around and pressed Tang Yuehua for an answer.
"Just what?"
"Didn't you say there couldn't possibly be any mistakes? Why is there still a 'just'?"
Tang Yuehua naturally knew the stakes involved, so she wasn't angry when she saw her Big Brother lose his temper.
Instead, she patiently explained again.
"I'm not worried about that, Big Brother, I'm worried about whether doing this can truly replicate the shield tunneling machine 1:1?"
"To be honest, I can't even understand this manufacturing blueprint..."
Of course, at first, it was an explanation, but by the end of her words, there was an undeniable hint of bitterness and helplessness.
She was speaking her true inner thoughts.
There was no other special meaning, but it was precisely such a simple sentence that was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. It immediately calmed Tang Xiao, who had just been incredibly excited.
He then lowered his head to look at the blueprint he held like a treasure.
For a moment, he also felt a headache as big as an ox.
At this point, he finally truly understood what it meant to have the correct answer in front of you and still not be able to copy it.
However, as a Sect Master, his insight and composure were far superior to Tang Yuehua's, so even though he was somewhat amazed by the scene, he wasn't disheartened.
He then spoke, even actively encouraging everyone.
"What are you panicking about? Not understanding it now doesn't mean you'll never understand it."
"Moreover, Yu Chen clearly isn't just drawing a blueprint and being done with it. As long as he plans to open up mountain roads, he will definitely prioritize the manufacturing of this shield tunneling machine.
At that time, we can compare it to the blueprint, manufacturing and learning simultaneously. We'll always be able to learn the method of manufacturing this shield tunneling machine before others!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the heavenly curtain again.
A hint of anticipation was subtly present in his eyes.
Unlike others who felt pity and sighing for the Clear Sky Sect in the parallel World,
at this moment, as the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, he was actually eager to see the Clear Sky Sect in the parallel World collapse as soon as possible.
After all, the faster it collapsed, the more it proved the power of the military spirit tools manufactured by Yu Chen.
For Tang Xiao at this moment, this was only beneficial, not harmful.
