Chapter 332: There are always more difficulties than solutions

After the three supervisors of the Heavenly Observatory were ordered to leave, Wen Rui looked through the handover documents they brought with them.

Normally, when a superior takes office, all the officials in charge of the Heavenly Observatory should come together to pay their respects to the new official.

But Wen Rui only saw three supervisors. None of the deputy supervisors, bookkeepers, and clerks of each supervisor were present.

If it were a narrow-minded superior, he might have mistakenly thought that his subordinates were looking down on him, but Wen Rui figured out the reason after a little thought.

It was only because the great emperor had demoted him to a very high rank that only the "unofficial" immortal officials had the courage to come and pay homage to him. The other petty officials, who did not even have an official rank, were not qualified to get within a hundred feet of the great emperor.

After looking through the documents, Wen Rui realized that he was in charge of quite a few immortals.

In addition to the chief and deputy chief immortal officials, the Tiangongjian also had dozens of officials of all ranks, hundreds of immortal craftsmen, and over a thousand strong men.

The Tianyi Bureau had more than 1,500 weavers, spinners, fairies, and washerwomen.

Tianjianjian also has hundreds of immortal craftsmen and thousands of strong men.

Adding them together, it’s almost enough to make up the number of ten thousand immortals.

It’s just that many of the lower-level immortals did not even ascend to heaven and receive the immortal certificates through cultivation, but were mortals who accumulated merits and were fortunately able to be exempted from the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn in heaven.

This kind of little fairy is very watery.

He has the immortal record but no immortal power.

Their fighting power is not as good as that of the heavenly soldiers who fought back and forth with the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.

The immortals cultivated by Jiejiao can at least obtain the positions of Heavenly Lord or Star Lord after being deified.

He gave orders to his subordinates to collect raw materials, and with tens of thousands of immortals taking action, the collection efficiency must be very high.

Moreover, these three Tianjian are where raw materials are concentrated, and many hard-to-find materials may be stored in the warehouses.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Rui felt that the Jade Emperor's arrangement was not bad and was exactly what he wanted.

When he first arrived in the heaven, what Wen Rui wanted to do most was to immediately begin a comprehensive analysis of the overall environment and study what the differences were between the heaven and the mortal world and the earth.

Materials are the foundation of scientific and technological development.

The eras of human civilization are divided based on materials: stone, bronze, iron, cement, steel, silicon...

Wen Rui has already thoroughly studied the materials in the mortal world, and the branch base in the earthly world is also constantly exploring and analyzing new materials discovered in the earthly world.

Only this heaven is still a blank to Wen Rui.

Only by fully understanding the composition, structure and properties of heavenly materials can we better design, select and process them, thereby creating immortal-level magic weapons.

The first step in studying celestial materials is to collect them.

But as he was in the heavily guarded heaven, he couldn't send out Ultron robots everywhere to collect openly.

Even the nanorobots cannot be spread to collect stealthily.

For immortals, the nanoscale can still be observed with the naked eye.

Especially the gods of the plague department, each of them has microscopic vision, and even the smallest viruses cannot escape their eyes.

It just so happened that he had such a group of craftsmen under his command, and the various observatories he was in charge of had large quantities of various materials stored in them, which helped Wen Rui solve the big problem in one go.

The Golden Spirit Mother pointed out Wen Rui's biggest shortcoming. The quality of the Bagua furnace she made was too low, which had become the biggest shortcoming of Cyber's body. The most urgent task was to upgrade it. The Bagua furnace produced by Wen Rui was a piece of garbage in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother, but in the mortal world, it was also a top-level spiritual treasure with extremely sophisticated materials, and the manufacturing cost was hundreds of millions of spiritual stones.

Now that we have arrived in the heaven, a piece of broken stone on the ground can become a fairy stone when it falls into the lower world. The quality of the materials has been dramatically improved.

In order to build an immortal treasure grade Bagua furnace, he first needed to understand the basic parameters of immortal grade materials, so he mobilized his subordinates to collect them and prepare to send them all to the laboratory in his portable secret realm for analysis and to create files.

After the data on the immortal-level materials is collected, Wen Rui's next plan is to get the design drawings of the immortal-level Bagua furnace.

This kind of information is likely to be stored in the Tiangongjian's illustration library.

However, the Bagua furnace that Tiangongjian can make is probably just a common product, and it won’t be much better no matter how good it is.

Wen Rui knew very well that the best Eight Trigrams Furnace in the Three Realms was in the Tushita Palace of Taishang Laojun. It was the big furnace that would be used to roast monkeys in the future.

He did not intend to steal Laojun's alchemy furnace. The old man was addicted to refining elixirs. If he didn't see the furnace for one day, he would probably search everywhere immediately, and it wouldn't take long for him to find Wen Rui.

But it would be a good idea to steal the manufacturing technology of the alchemy furnace and build yourself a mini artificial dantian.

I just wonder if the immortals of today have any awareness of the need to guard against intangible assets such as intellectual property rights.

Logically speaking, the three religions, red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, are one family and there should be no sectarianism.

As long as Wen Rui is thick-skinned enough and runs to the Tushita Palace to stay there and learn from the masters, the old Taishang Laojun will be magnanimous and will not beat Wen Rui or break his legs.

As for the consumed top-grade materials, they can embezzle them from the Tiangongjian warehouse under their jurisdiction.

If the accounts are kept secret, and only a few hundred years are needed, then when the monkey comes to heaven to make trouble in the future, lead him to the Tiangongjian to smash things up, and all the bad accounts can be settled.

Before the accounts are settled, if the Heavenly Court organizes an audit, Zhao Gongming, the chief of the Heavenly Court Finance Department who is in charge of the audit, is my uncle and master, so it would not be a small matter for him to help cover it up.

The plan goes through!
For a long time afterwards, the entrance of Emperor Wen's Creation Palace was crowded with people, and groups of strong men came and went with boxes.

The three Tianjian Supervisors originally thought that their superior only wanted them to send common materials and some rare materials.

After handing over the materials, Wen Rui called them over and scolded them, saying that they had narrow vision and rigid thinking.

New orders were issued to further expand the scope of collection. Any material that could be used for production and processing, even a piece of fairy shit, had to be ground, dried, sieved, sampled, collected and reported.

The explanation given by Emperor Wen was that gold can be found in feces, and perhaps the materials for making top-quality silk thread can be found from the undigested fibers.

The Jade Emperor did not assign subordinates or servants to Wen Rui, so Wen Rui released the Ultron robot from his secret realm.

He commanded the robots to guard the entrance of the temple, classified and registered the various materials that had been handed in, and sent them to Wen Rui, who then kept them in the materials laboratory in the secret realm for comprehensive testing.

After many days of collection and analysis, as the database became richer, Wen Rui also had a preliminary understanding of the matter in the celestial realm.

It really is a stone from heaven, and it will be a treasure in the underworld.

Under the influence of the rich fairy spirit, the stubborn stone also becomes as smooth as jade, containing energy like gems from the mortal world, and the energy is of extremely high purity.

However, if you want to smelt heavenly materials, you cannot use earthly fire.

No matter how high the temperature of any fire is, it will be extinguished by the immortal power contained in the material, which is in line with the characteristic of immortal treasures that they are immune to water and fire.

The more you delve into it, the more difficulties you will find. To manufacture a new Bagua furnace of the fairy treasure level, it is not enough to have materials and technology. The manufacturing process still has a very high threshold.
