Original God, I, the prince of Liyue, do not want to inherit the throne

The originally scheduled rest time had already ended because of the commission. Ye Li and others rode the horses arranged by Keqing all the way to the Tianheng Valley, which is near the middle of Tianheng Mountain.

After all, the distance in reality is much farther than that in the game. A location that only requires teleporting and running for a few minutes to reach in the game, in the real world that is magnified n times, it still takes more than 30 minutes even at the fastest speed, and this is a speed that only a fast horse can reach.

After everyone settled their horses, they followed the mountain road to the location marked on Keqing's map and saw the destroyed Guizhong Machine.

However, before everyone could get close, a team of Qianyan soldiers blocked their way.

"This is a restricted area, please do not enter. Please keep out of the way."

The white tasseled spears flashed with cold light and gleamed brightly. The Qianyan Army, arranged in formation, looked at Ye Li and his group coming up the slope, and their momentum was immediately maximized.

"Wow, they look like they are not easy to deal with. Wouldn't it be rude if we force our way in?"

Paimeng was frightened by the scene, but she felt relieved when she saw the other people around her. If a fight really came about, she would be fine if she just flew higher.

Looking at the Qianyan soldiers holding spears and with sharp eyes, Ye Li took out the token Keqing handed to him with a normal expression, threw it to the young Qianyan soldier leading the group and said:

"We are entrusted by Yuheng Star Keqing to repair the damaged mechanism. This is the permission token of the Seven Stars Yuheng."

The young Qianyan soldier who was leading the team took the token thrown to him, checked its logo and material, saluted seriously, and then threw the token back to Ye Li, saying respectfully:

"It turned out to be someone arranged by Lord Yuheng. We have been waiting for a long time. We will ensure their safety during this period."

"Thank you for your hard work in guarding here. When this is over, I will say a few good words to Yuhengxing, and maybe I can get a little more salary."

"Sir, you are too polite. The Guizhong Machine is an ancient treasure of Liyue. If we don't take it seriously when it is destroyed, the efforts of our ancestors will be a joke. What's more, we are just a small guard. Compared with our ancestors, it is completely insignificant."

"That's a good point, but there are rewards and punishments. Even if you compare the past with the present, you can't bury your achievements. After all, if your Thousand Rock Army is not well fed, the people of Liyue will not accept it and will definitely tear the corrupt person to pieces alive."

Ye Li's words were not a joke. The reason why Liyue Harbor could be so prosperous today was that apart from the help of the immortals in the dark, most of the order on the surface was enforced by the Thousand Rocks Army. Whether it was fighting against monsters or guarding the city, they were indispensable.

Once anyone in the Qianyan Army dares to embezzle the salaries and meals of reliable soldiers, the spies from all over the place will make the corrupt person understand what thundering measures are.

After passing through the Qianyan Army's defenses, the group arrived in front of the tall Guizhong Machine. Seeing that the damage to the machine was not too serious, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief. If it was completely destroyed, he would have sent the others away and wiped out the treasure-stealing group.

Ye Li came to the damaged Guizhong machine and checked the damage to see what could be repaired.

Kong and Paimon surrounded the huge return machine with amazement on their faces. The size of this thing was even more exaggerated than a house. Although the wooden gears and patterns inside it were damaged, it was obvious that the tricks inside were completely incomprehensible to them.

Ye Li took out tools from the box he carried with him, cleaned up some of the damaged debris, and then arranged for Kong to go to the nearby woods and move some trees that were up to 3 meters wide.

Not long after, Kong came back with a lot of materials collected on the spot, and Ye Li showed off his exquisite wood repair skills in front of everyone.

The tree stump that was smoothed by the wind element gradually formed parts through the cutting and friction of the tools in Ye Li's hand. He then took out the iron from the box, melted it with the high temperature after being compressed by the evil eye of the fire element, and then shaped it with the wind. The water vapor combined with water and ice evaporated, and it was completely formed into a square device for fixation.

The raw materials were completed. Ye Li opened a groove in the box, and the pattern of the special alchemy table appeared. After a series of operations in less than 30 minutes, the repair materials needed for the final machine were completed. It can only be said that having elemental power is convenient. It is much faster to use local materials by yourself than to run back and forth to get them.

Looking at the new materials of all sizes that combined alchemy and mechanical engineering, even though it was not the first time Zhongli had seen them, he still felt that Ye's innovations in mechanical engineering and alchemy were like a lifetime ago.

As we all know, the alchemy of Teyvat is very special. Even if you are not a original god, you can learn and apply it. It is a system of supernatural powers in the continent of Teyvat that is closer to ordinary people.

The characteristic of mechanical engineering is to utilize the power of tools and the inertia of nature. As long as you have a deep enough understanding of the laws of physics and nature and can think of ways to utilize these laws, you can achieve it through mechanical engineering.

The two are different directions of exploring nature, but the effects they can produce are very different.

The former is extremely difficult to learn, but once learned, one can utilize certain supernatural abilities. For example, the elemental glass bottle of the treasure-stealing group is a product of alchemy.

The latter has a medium level of learning difficulty, requiring not only handicrafts but also an understanding of physical laws and nature. The expressiveness is not high in the early stages, but in the later stages it is not inferior to alchemy at all. The first generation of the final machine is among them.

The idea of ​​combining the two was not unique to Ye Li. Countless people had tried this topic since its inception.

The culmination of all of these is the floating palace called Qun Yu Pavilion. Ye Li had already analyzed the entire structure of Qun Yu Pavilion before designing version 2.0, and was deeply impressed by Liyue's profound attainments in this area.

After getting the materials, Ye Li began to repair and modify the Guizhong Machine. Kong and Paimon helped to pass things, while Zhongli stood not far away and chatted with the Qianyan Army, telling them some ancient history, which made many of the Qianyan Army excited.

Qiqi was sitting on Ye's box, drinking coconut milk, staring at the surroundings in a daze, and occasionally looking towards the corner of the hillside, as if there was something there.

At this moment, a member of the treasure-hunting group who was sent out to look for prey yawned and walked out from the corner of a woods. As soon as he looked up, he saw a team of Thousand Rocks Army patrolling on the road he had to pass. Frightened, he quickly hid behind a rock against the mountain, occasionally sticking his head out to observe.

"What's going on? I remember that few people come here. How come the Thousand Rock Army is here?"

The member of the treasure-hunting team, who was sweating profusely at this moment, touched the several element bottles in his pocket, forced himself to calm down, carefully stuck his head out to observe, and thought about how to deal with the situation.

In terms of numbers, the Qianyan Army is not as large as the Treasure Stealing Group, but every member of them is strong and powerful. Anyone who dares to go there recklessly will definitely be caught. In short, running away is the best strategy.

The member of the treasure-hunting group silently retracted his peeping head, stepped lightly and prepared to escape, and then just as he turned around, he fell to the ground as if he had hit a wall, and screamed in pain.

This movement successfully attracted the attention of the Qianyan Army. They quickly adjusted their formation silently and approached the hillside at the intersection of the road at a very fast pace. There was a blind spot there from which they could observe this.

The members of the treasure-hunting group looked at the earth wall that appeared inexplicably in front of them with pain, knowing in their hearts that something was wrong. They quickly got up and no longer hid. They threw away a few element bottles in their hands and turned around and ran towards the woods.

However, what he never expected was that the bottle he threw out did not break and form an elemental reaction. Instead, the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer.

The inexplicable panic in their hearts deepened, and the members of the treasure-stealing group wished they had two more legs, but they were eventually pinned to the ground by the experienced Qianyan Army, and after being hit several times, they were kidnapped obediently.
