Chapter 474 - 3: Popularization of Flight Ability
Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the Mountain God Reservoir of the Li Family Village.
The Unihorned Rhinoceros lazily sprawled by the reservoir, chewing on a pill while wagging its tail.
Li Boyang was comfortably crossing his legs, leaning against the large green ox.
In his mouth was a piece of foxtail grass he had picked from who knows where.
"Look at your get-up, look at your look..."
"If someone didn’t know better, they’d think you were some cowherd taking a break?"
Just as Li Boyang was leisurely enjoying the sunlight, Chen Yun’s somewhat helpless voice came from not far away.
Since the weaving factory’s reformation was completed, Chen Yun had undoubtedly become the director of the Li Family Village’s weaving factory.
Under her leadership, the factory not only expanded in size but production also increased significantly, even the quality improved simultaneously.
Especially those brocades and silks that are impervious to water and fire, resistant to knives and spears.
These have long become one of the signature products of the Li Family Village’s weaving factory, with large outputs daily.
Under the advertisement effect of the Prophet Daily.
Sometimes even the gods would specially order some of the special silks.
After all, in some sense, besides daily usage, these brocades and silks are also excellent carriers for talismans and casting materials.
Compared to the one-time use talisman paper of Mountain Village.
These brocades and silks even have the potential to become a magical treasure or divine artifact.
Or more accurately, these brocades and silks are originally heavenly and earthly treasures.
It’s only the Li Family Village’s weaving factory that is continuously innovating, making these brocades and silks extremely common daily items.
If it was before Li Boyang’s descent to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
A roll of such brocade silk would have been enough for many gods to fight over it.
"Ah? Am I not a cowherd?"
Looking up at the approaching Chen Yun, Li Boyang was nonchalant about her teasing.
"Humph! What cowherd would graze cattle near this reservoir?"
"This is the Water God’s territory, the habitat of the Human-faced Fish..."
Reaching out to vigorously rub Li Boyang’s head, Chen Yun glared at him in exasperation.
"And which cowherd would graze the Village God’s cattle?"
As she said this, Chen Yun inadvertently gave the Unihorned Rhinoceros a kick.
Somehow, taking a kick meant for Li Boyang.
The Unihorned Rhinoceros turned its head in grievance, even the pill in its mouth seemed to lose its flavor.
[Can you guys not involve me in your family disputes?]
This thought flashed through its mind, and the Unihorned Rhinoceros pretended to lie down in grievance again.
Sadly, neither of them paid attention to this drama queen, and continued their conversation.
"Flying Heaven Stronghold over there is planning to purchase ’Cloud Silk Brocade’ in large quantities recently. Do you think we should expand this area of production?"
The Cloud Silk Brocade Chen Yun mentioned refers to the silk woven from clouds.
Due to the special nature of clouds, its weaving difficulty and craftsmanship are far higher than normal silk brocades.
Conversely, the [Cloud Silk Brocade] is light as air yet incredibly strong.
Except not being resistant to knives and swords, water and fire, its quality is almost the top tier among the silks produced by the Li Family Village.
"It’s the gliding wings, the witch priest from Flying Heaven Stronghold is planning to mass-produce and sell gliding wings."
Just by calculating with his fingers, Li Boyang knew Wu Zhen’s intention.
"Gliding wings?"
"You mean the kind of clothes that let people fly in the sky?"
Hearing Li Boyang say this, Chen Yun was immediately interested.
The gliding wings from Flying Heaven Stronghold have been a trending topic over these years.
Most Hundred Lands Mountain People, even if they haven’t seen them, have heard of these magical clothes.
By spreading the membrane wings between the hands and feet, one can glide from high to low using the wind.
For the predominantly mountainous Hundred Lands Mountain Range, it’s simply a perfect short-range transport tool.
The only problem is, wearing the gliding wings isn’t convenient.
And it requires high demands on the user, almost exclusively a tool for Flying Heaven Stronghold.
"Could it be that the witch priest has improved the craftsmanship of the gliding wings? Already ready for promotion?"
Having been the factory director for so many years, Chen Yun still had some business acumen.
"Yes, not only improved the craftsmanship, she has also realized initial mass production."
Li Boyang was genuinely impressed by the creativity Wu Zhen had demonstrated.
From the initial rudimentary gliding device, to now a finished product with retractable membrane wings...
Wu Zhen has gradually, with her own actions, turned gliding wings into the flagship product, the hallmark industry of Flying Heaven Stronghold.
You have to know, in the current Hundred Lands Mountain Range, although you can’t say every mountain person knows spells, one could say almost everyone has one or two tricks.
After all, compared to the difficult-to-master [Soaring Clouds and Mist] divine power, the [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] spell has far fewer high demands.
Just a little wind, and the gliding wings could become a real flying device.
Thus, this presents a situation impossible on Earth — the popularization of individual flight capability.
Li Boyang even suspected that Wu Zhen might have made a portable wind-blowing device, specifically for use with gliding wings.
With this, even mountain people who haven’t learned Wind Magic could also freely navigate the woods with gliding wings.
"I think the future Hundred Lands Mountain Range might need to add some flight regulations and safety standards."
Hearing Li Boyang say this, Chen Yun immediately widened her eyes in surprise.
"You think so highly of Flying Heaven Stronghold’s gliding wings?"
In the current Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the only things truly governed by written regulations and safety standards are the dense and complex land transportation networks.
And it’s precisely because of those written regulations and safety standards.
The Bronze Horse Carriage can swiftly and orderly traverse each mountain and country road, without causing too many traffic accidents.
"It’s not about thinking highly, it’s a trend of the future."
Lazily leaning on the Unihorned Rhinoceros’s body, Li Boyang patiently explained to Chen Yun.
"Firstly, the materials needed to produce gliding wings are very simple."
"As long as we can supply enough ’Cloud Silk Brocade’, Flying Heaven Stronghold can produce plenty of gliding wings."
"This is entirely different from the Bronze Horse Carriage, which is constrained by the production of Bronze Beasts."
"After all, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range does not yet have a complete, autonomous Bronze Beast industrial chain."
"Secondly, the gliding wing is an individual transportation tool."
"This means, once the storage problem of the membrane wing is resolved, the gliding wing could be maximally popularized among every mountain person."
"Most crucially, the terrain of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is extremely complex."
"Unless the mountain people truly disregard the warnings of the Mountain Gods and Water Gods, forcibly breaking through mountains and altering river courses to build transportation networks."
"Otherwise, flying transportation tools like gliding wings are undoubtedly the best choice, irrespective of whether I think highly of them or not."
"Compared to these gliding wings, the ’Sky Base Station’ collaboration by the witch priest and Big Girl is the project I truly have high expectations for."
