Chapter 586 Inspection
"Who are you?" Zhu Ying asked the group of people directly.
Ever since these people came to the carriage, Zhu Ying had clearly sensed that the true energy within their bodies was quite abundant.
Moreover, he discovered that these people were extremely strong.
This undoubtedly aroused Zhu Ying's curiosity about these seemingly young people.
“Brother, we are students from the Imperial Capital Academy,” one of the men replied to Zhu Ying.
"Ok?"
"Students of the Imperial Capital Academy, I see. No wonder you all possess such rich true energy."
To be honest, Zhu Ying didn't expect to meet students from the Imperial Capital Academy on this train. Back then, the Imperial Capital Academy was established according to Zhu Ying's orders.
The dean of this Imperial Capital Academy is Commander Liu Lei.
"Brother, you can actually sense the true energy on our bodies. Could it be that you are also a martial arts master?"
Clearly, Zhu Yinggang's answer surprised the students of the Imperial Capital Academy.
Therefore, they guessed that Zhu Ying must also be a martial arts expert.
"Since you are students of the Imperial Capital Academy, why are you on this train? Why aren't you cultivating at the Imperial Capital Academy?" Zhu Ying did not answer the student's question, but instead pressed him for an answer.
"This time we are going to the martial arts holy land in the northern desert to train. Since the capital is quite far from the martial arts holy land in the northern desert, we will take the train."
However, just after the student finished speaking, Zhu Ying asked with some doubt, "If I remember correctly, students of the Imperial Capital Academy can travel there by pterosaur."
"Why are you taking the train there?"
As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of these students from the capital.
"Brother, you're absolutely right. Students from the Imperial Capital Academy can indeed travel to this sacred martial arts land for training via pterosaurs."
"However, only students with top grades are qualified to ride the pterosaur. My grades are relatively low, so I can only take this train."
After the student from the Imperial Academy explained the reason, Zhu Ying's doubts were dispelled.
Zhu Ying continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your current realm is the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, right?"
"Could it be that in this Imperial Capital Academy, the peak of the Body Refinement Realm is not considered an outstanding achievement?"
To be honest, when Zhu Ying mentioned the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, the student realized that the person in front of him must be of extraordinary status.
So the student from the capital city immediately answered with utmost respect.
"You're absolutely right. I am indeed at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, but even at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, I'm not considered one of the top performers at the Imperial Capital Academy."
"There are far too many students stronger than me. In fact, there are even Grandmaster-level experts in this Imperial Capital Academy!"
"So we could only take the train to this holy land of martial arts, but even so, we are very satisfied."
"I've heard that this sacred martial arts land is rich in spiritual energy, which can actually help and enhance our cultivation."
After the students from the capital city finished speaking, Zhu Ying also fell into deep thought.
In fact, Zhu Yingchu's initial purpose in establishing the Imperial Capital Academy was to attract talented people from all over the country.
Then, through rigorous training, it was ultimately put to use by the Ming Dynasty.
As it turns out, the Imperial Capital Academy has indeed made significant progress after this period of development.
It even produced masters at the Grandmaster level.
Perhaps because he had run into students from the capital, Zhu Ying asked them some questions about the Imperial Capital Academy.
"How many times a year can you go to this sacred martial arts ground to train?"
The martial arts student immediately replied, "Brother, although this martial arts holy land is very large, the number of students in the Imperial Capital Academy has increased several times over."
"Therefore, students of our cultivation level only have one opportunity per year to go to the holy land of martial arts for training."
"And each trip only lasts seven days..."
"However, if one is a Grandmaster, they can go five times a year and stay for half a month at a time, so we are all very envious!"
After saying that, the student looked visibly disappointed.
During this time, Zhu Ying asked the group of martial arts students about other things related to the Imperial Capital Academy.
Through his conversation with this student from the capital, Zhu Ying also learned that most students at the Imperial Capital Academy were at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.
To be honest, this level of strength is already extremely powerful.
Today, the Imperial Capital Academy is teeming with talented individuals, and one could even say it is filled with powerful figures.
Zhu Ying believed that in time, these students from the Imperial Academy would become a powerful force in the Ming Empire, which would greatly enhance the Ming Empire's military strength.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing nearby, was very pleased to hear this, as it was naturally the situation that he had hoped to see.
After all, the stronger the military power of the Ming Empire, the more prosperous its national fortune would be, making it easier for Zhu Yuanzhang to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.
……
About half an hour later, the group of martial arts students arrived at their destination and left.
After they left, Zhu Ying turned to Zhu Yuanzhang beside him and said, "Old man, Xiong Ying thinks that this martial arts holy land in the northern desert is still too small."
"The number of students at Imperial Capital Academy is increasing exponentially every year. These martial arts students, for example, are all very promising."
"Unfortunately, they visited this sacred martial arts land too few times, which prevented them from rapidly improving their cultivation in a short period of time."
"How about we allow the students of this martial arts academy to enter this martial arts world through a spatial portal for cultivation in the future?"
After Zhu Ying told Zhu Yuanzhang about his idea, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded in agreement.
"This martial arts world is rich in spiritual energy, which is indeed very suitable for the cultivation of these martial arts students."
"Xiongying, your idea is excellent, we agree. After this incognito visit is over, we must make this happen as soon as possible."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly after hearing this, and continued to say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "When we have time, we can also send Wenxi to the Imperial Academy in the capital to select talents and then establish a martial arts army!"
"Yes, that's right. That was the purpose of establishing the Imperial Capital Academy in the first place. Now that the Imperial Capital Academy is producing so many talented people, we should make good use of them."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ying's idea, he naturally gave it his full support.
Not long after.
Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang also arrived at their destination, which was Mobei Station.
Just a few years ago, the northern desert was a vast grassland, quite desolate.
However, after this period of rapid development, the changes in the northern desert have been enormous, even earth-shattering.
"Hey Xiong Ying, why do I feel like this Mobei Station and this Didu Station are about the same quality?"
Zhu Ying immediately explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "This is the power of modern technology. Today, the infrastructure capabilities of our Great Ming Empire have been greatly improved."
"Naturally, the scale of the train station is also getting bigger and bigger!" After hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a bit of pride.
It is important to know that Zhu Yuanzhang always believed that only the Central Plains were developing rapidly and the people were living in peace and prosperity.
But now, after seeing the development of the northern desert, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, and at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the entire Ming Empire.
"Old man, stop standing there, let's hurry up and take the subway. The subway can take you directly to the airport in the northern desert."
Upon hearing that they were going to the airport, Zhu Yuanzhang became interested. He nodded quickly and said, "Alright, let's not delay, let's go take the subway."
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying arrived at the airport via the subway in the northern desert.
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had ever seen an airplane so closely.
When he saw the huge planes parked at the airfield, he was very excited.
"Wow, I didn't expect this plane to be so big."
"But with a plane as big as the U.A. Aircraft, can it really fly in the sky?"
This was, after all, Old Zhu's first time on an airplane, so he was inevitably a little worried and scared.
Zhu Ying naturally sensed Zhu Yuanzhang's inner fear.
Immediately, Zhu Ying joked with Old Zhu, "Old man, don't forget, you are a master of the Grandmaster realm."
"Even if this plane really falls from the sky, you can still fly."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Xiongying, we are not afraid, but we are worried about the ordinary people."
"Not all people can fly. What will happen to them if this plane has an accident?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was, after all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he was quite concerned about the people.
Zhu Ying patiently explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old man, you can rest assured, this plane is unlikely to have any accidents."
"Airplanes are even the mode of transportation with the fewest accidents among all current modes of transportation."
"Moreover, if any accidents occur, the imperial court will provide compensation."
Just then, the people who were supposed to take the plane began to board one after another.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying also entered the cabin of the plane with excitement.
As the plane took off, Zhu Yuanzhang was visibly excited!
Looking out the window at the scenery, he couldn't help but exclaim to Zhu Ying beside him, "Xiong Ying, I never thought this plane would actually take off."
"It's incredible! Such a huge plane is actually appearing in the sky."
"Modern technology is truly amazing."
Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang's excitement, Zhu Ying was much calmer.
"Old man, you've piloted a pterosaur before. Tell me, what's the difference between flying an airplane and piloting a pterosaur? Which one is better?"
Faced with Zhu Ying's persistent questioning, Zhu Yuanzhang considered it seriously for a long time.
"This plane is still the best."
"Sitting on this pterosaur is a bit bumpy and doesn't feel safe, unlike flying in an airplane which feels like being in a huge room."
"And judging by this speed, the plane seems to be faster than the Pterosaur."
Zhu Ying nodded and replied, "Old man, you're right, this plane is indeed faster than the Wing Loong."
"Moreover, you can eat, sleep, and even watch TV on the plane."
"However, according to Xiong Ying's understanding, our Great Ming Empire still doesn't have many aircraft, only about a hundred large aircraft."
"This makes air travel quite expensive, and it's unaffordable for ordinary people."
Zhu Ying was well aware that although the Ming Empire had experienced tremendous development, it was still some distance away from fully reaching the level of modern society.
……
Several hours later, the plane carrying Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang successfully landed at an airport in Xizhou.
In the time to come.
Zhu Ying then traveled incognito with Zhu Yuanzhang to Xizhou.
The Western Continent was actually formed by the former English, French, and Roman states. For ease of administration, Zhu Ying collectively referred to the regions of these states as the Western Continent.
As soon as Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out of the airport, they immediately saw a large number of industrial buildings.
"Xiongying, why do I feel a pungent smell in the air of Xizhou?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
Zhu Ying patiently explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old man, this is the smell of chemicals. Xizhou is an important industrial area of the Ming Empire. Some steel buildings and chemical products are produced here."
"Therefore, the air quality in this western continent is not very good."
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he immediately frowned.
Although Zhu Ying had long known that the air in Xizhou was generally poor, he hadn't expected it to be this bad.
Looking around, many people from Xizhou were wearing masks on the street.
"The air here is terrible, old man. It seems we need to interrogate the governor of the Western Continent."
Old Zhu nodded after hearing what Zhu Ying said.
“That’s right. Although the development of Xizhou is good, it has come at the expense of the health of the people. This is wrong and the governor of Xizhou must be severely punished.”
Although the people of this Western Continent are all white, and are foreigners compared to the Han people of the Central Plains, this Western Continent is still part of the Ming Empire.
The people of Xizhou were naturally also the people of the Ming Empire.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying certainly did not want to see this situation occur.
soon.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying then arrived at the governor's mansion in Xizhou. When the governor of Xizhou saw the Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson Zhu Ying, he was greatly surprised.
The governor of the Western Continent immediately rushed to the two men, knelt down, and bowed.
"Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty and His Highness the Imperial Grandson!"
"May Your Majesty and His Highness the Imperial Grandson live a long and prosperous life!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the governor of Xizhou in a cold tone, "Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The governor of Xizhou was named Zhang Heng. He was once the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination. Because he was proficient in physics, he was sent to Xizhou to serve as governor.
"Zhang Heng, the development of Xizhou is indeed quite good, but why is the air quality so terrible?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mince words with Zhang Heng and directly questioned him. (End of Chapter)
