Chapter 287 Mission
There was a lot of voices on the coast this morning. The prince of Canglan Country finally had the cheek to follow Liu Xinyu to the beach.
On the coast, boxes of precious medicinal and spiritual materials brought by the imperial guards were carried onto the giant ship ahead. There are a lot of boxes, which have been accumulated for many years in the royal treasury of Qixia Kingdom.
Many of the medicinal materials and spiritual materials produced in the Qixia Country were exploited by the East in the past, but most of the precious ones remained.
The world is still relatively rich in resources, but each region has its own preference. Qixia Country also has some precious medicinal materials, but it also lacks many adjuvant medicines. If medicinal materials are to be refined into elixirs, they need to cooperate with other medicinal materials. Otherwise, many medicinal materials can only be sealed up.
Ning Chengwu, the prince of the Canglan Kingdom, looked at the giant ship on the sea in shock, "Is this the giant ship made of steel? Are you really planning to open a route on the green sea of death?"
Liu Xinyu nodded and did not speak.
"Can I go over and have a look?"
Liu Xinyu shook her head slightly, but still did not speak.
Ning Chengwu: ...
He figured it out, and Liu Xinyu was very wary of herself. After coming to Qixia Country, Ning Chengwu took advantage of this opportunity of cooperation and support to visit Qixia Country. But it is very difficult to go deeper.
In particular, he wanted to know about the industrial and commercial class of Qixia Kingdom, the new national system and laws of Qixia Kingdom, and almost no one could ask him. Especially in terms of industrial technology, Qixia Country is almost stingy and doesn't even reveal a word.
Today, I finally saw the legendary giant steel ship, but he could only stand obediently beside Liu Xinyu, to be precise, he stood next to Liu Xinyu at a height lower than that of a step. This made Ning Chengwu only hold his head up when he spoke.
Don't mention the feeling in Ning Chengwu's heart. But when I turned around and looked around, I found that everyone was one level lower than Liu Xinyu, and I felt much more at ease—Aha, the entire Qixia Kingdom is standing at the feet of one woman!
Liu Xinyu was not ordinary, she could see what Ning Chengwu was thinking when she lowered her head slightly, she was a little disdainful. Hmph, today's arrangement is just for you.
After Liu Xinyu and the palace guards, there are still a large number of spectators, including people from Dayang Group, folks and so on. A great voyage requires the participation of all the people, and Zhang Hao also took the initiative to invite everyone to come and visit.
This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be more people! And at that time, everyone will no longer be standing, but shouting!
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the sky, and Zhang Hao saw his cheap master Daoist Mingxu and Liu Dingshan coming together, and the two flew directly to the battleship Zhiyuan. They were followed by Chen Yansong.
Chen Yansong was still dressed in the past, silently following behind the two of them without speaking. But it can be clearly seen that this guy is also a little excited. He flew around on the deck and started to walk around, knocking.
Steel warships, this is an unprecedented miracle for everyone.
Daoist Ming Xu came to the bow, knocked on the railing, knocked on the turret, stomped on the deck, and then proudly said to Liu Dingshan next to him: "If someone told me in the past that a ship can be made of iron, I would not believe it. But now, I still feel shocked."
Liu Dingshan rolled his eyes: "Look at your smug expression, it's about to turn into a waterfall. Speaking of which, you didn't build the Zhiyuan, so why are you so proud!"
"Have you ever heard that a teacher for one day is a father for the rest of his life!"
"Hey, you don't want to use this reason to monopolize the Zhiyuan, do you? Let me tell you, I still have 20% of the shares in the Zhiyuan battleship!
Oh... Speaking of which, you need my nod to board the ship! "
"Go away!" Daoist Ming Xu laughed, "Of course I won't be so despicable. However, Zhang Hao and I are one body now, and we both prosper and lose each other. When I become a god, Zhang Hao benefits. Similarly, Zhang Haoruo I also benefit from being able to open up a sea road!
Now I am also in the stage of transforming gods, and I can also support Zhang Hao within the Xuanzhen Sect. "
"It's more or less the same!" Liu Dingshan said from Zhang Hao's point of view, "I'm really afraid that you Xuanzhen Sect will go crazy and do something that you can't regret. Let me tell you, for now, I am I fully support Zhang Hao."
"Don't worry, the Xuanzhen Sect also fully supports Zhang Hao. You may not know that just the day before yesterday, the Xiaoyao faction responded to the matter of Daoist Dingshan.
They brought the Land of Langya to them, completely cut off the sea passages to the west and northwest of the Fertile Land Continent, and also blocked the Xuanzhen Sect. "
"Ah..." Liu Dingshan understood the general situation of Fertile Earth Continent, he was really shocked by Liu Dingshan's words, "The Xiaoyao faction is trying to trap us to death. What about Lingyin Mountain?"
"Lingyin Mountain hasn't made a statement yet. But based on my understanding of Lingyin Mountain, there is a high possibility that they will take advantage of it and loot it. Hey, in the world of cultivation, the weak eat the strong. No matter how many fancy words you add, it can't cover up this essence. "
Liu Dingshan turned his head to look at the hanging cannon, thought for a while and said, "Tell me, how about bombarding the port of the Kingdom of Langya when we go this time?"
Daoist Master Mingxu was taken aback by Liu Dingshan's brain hole, after all, he was calmer. After thinking for a while, I still shook my head slightly: "For the first transaction, I think stability should be the top priority. As long as the first transaction is successful, the future development will be smooth.
And when there are more giant steel ships in the future, we will fight over from the sea! "
"I'm anxious." Liu Dingshan took a deep breath and said slowly, "In the future, we will form a fleet and dominate the Emerald Sea with a torrent of steel!"
"The torrent of steel... requires the cooperation of experts!" Daoist Mingxu sighed with emotion.
During the discussion between Daoist Mingxu and Liu Dingshan, Chen Yansong stood coolly aside and did not speak, it seemed that it was indeed an occupational disease - a guard.
At this time, Zhang Hao came to talk to Dugu Junjie. Zhang Hao came to the side of Daoist Mingxu and said: "Master, we are about to set sail soon."
Daoist Mingxu nodded, and asked Zhang Hao: "You want to go too?"
Zhang Hao stood in front of the railing, looking at the sea, "Yeah, you have to see it with your own eyes in order to know what the outside world looks like, and to determine how to go in the future."
At this time, the cargo has been loaded and the anchor has been pulled up.
Dugu Junjie left the bow and walked towards the captain's room.
But at this moment, a female guard beside Liu Xinyu suddenly flew over and said that she had something important to discuss with Zhang Hao, and it belonged to the prince of the Canglan Kingdom.
According to the rumors from the female guards, Ning Chengwu, the prince of the Canglan Kingdom, is also a little excited. He actually wants Zhang Hao and the Zhiyuan battleship to bombard Qianlonggang from the sea, while the Canglan Kingdom will attack from the land. Repel the defenders of the Land of Langya occupying Qianlong Harbor.
This seems like a good suggestion. But Zhang Hao thought about it, but refused.
"Why?" Daoist Master Mingxu asked. If Qianlong Harbor can be regained, then Xuanzhen Sect will be able to get a sea port, which is very important.
Zhang Hao slowly explained: "Master, what we want to present to the outside world this time is a strong, peaceful, but willing to communicate image. Our purpose this time is to open up sea passages.
This time, if we encounter a challenge from the Land of Langya, we can fight 'passively' or attack Qianlonggang. But even so, we will try our best to fight alone and not in alliance!
This time, we are not sailing for battle. Rather, for the mission!
We are here to explore, to explore a way of life from the green sea of death!
This is the greatest thing! "
Daoist Ming Xu carefully smacked the meaning of these words, and had no choice but to nod.
And Liu Dingshan also agreed with Zhang Hao's words. "That's right, this time we're opening up a path of life from the green sea of death. We're exploring a brand new future for human beings instead of fighting among themselves.
It's a great start and it doesn't have to be tarnished!
Zhang Hao, I support you! "
At this time, Dugu Junjie roared: "Set sail!"
The order was issued, and the giant ship began to roar. The three 100mm cannons in front of the giant ship suddenly pointed to the sky, and the next moment flames erupted, and the three shells exploded several kilometers above the sky, shining brilliantly. Also, the rolling thunder.
The artillery shell was fired, and the front of the giant ship suddenly sank half a meter, and the surrounding waves rolled, and the waves washed over the nearby cliffs, roaring.
This sudden move shocked many people. Only a few people who know the plan in advance are calm.
Liu Xinyu lightly raised his head to look at the sky, with a smile on his lips. Then he looked down at Ning Chengwu, the prince of Canglan Kingdom, and said softly, "Ning Chengwu, what do you think of Zhiyuan?"
Ning Chengwu withdrew his shocked eyes, looked at Liu Xinyu who was not in the slightest shock beside him, a trace of admiration and a trace of self-ashamed flashed in his heart. He looked at the Zhiyuan, watched the Zhiyuan slowly accelerate, and had to say from the bottom of his heart: "It's amazing!"
Liu Xinyu didn't speak any more, but quietly watched Zhiyuan start to speed up and slowly leave the small port.
This time, there were a total of 211 crew members onboard the Zhiyuan, except for a few technicians such as Zhang Hao and Hou Shangzhuo, the rest were all combatants. Including sailors, gunners, etc., and many of them are at the Jindan stage and Yuanying stage.
Thanks to the Dayang Group, Zhang Hao proudly recruited many masters, which made up for the short development time of the Zhang family and the lack of masters.
The giant ship slowly accelerated, pushing away layers of ripples on the sea surface. The ripples slowly undulated and spread to the end of the line of sight.
The waves in the morning are still a little obvious, but the giant ship is like a mountain, thick and steady. Even just looking at it, you can feel the power of steel. The rigid and rough lines and rows of huge rivets all show the power of the industry.
At this time, the steel giant ship has been painted. However, only a few places such as the superstructure and railings have been painted with white paint. The rest still maintain the true color of steel - black and gray.
The morning sun gradually rose, giving this unprecedented steel battleship a golden brilliance.
In the golden light, the giant ship slowly accelerated and began to head south.
For the first time since human beings recorded, they officially started their own exploration in the open sea.
(Weakly ask, can you rest today?)
