Chapter 114 The Power of Black Iron

At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?

Zhou Jue copied these two sentences, hung them in front of his face, and thought about them all night.

It wasn't until the sun rose in the east and the sunlight pierced Zhou Jue's eyes that Zhou Jue suddenly woke up. He stood in front of these two words for a whole night.

Suddenly, Zhou Jue laughed out loud, and his voice echoed over the Zhang residence.

"I understand, I understand!" Zhou Jue's temperament gradually changed. In a word, although it didn't make Zhou Jue realize his epiphany, it also helped Zhou Jue solve many problems and troubles.

"If you have a problem, you must take the initiative to solve it instead of waiting passively."

When Zhou Jue left the room, he saw Zhang Shengde cupping his hands from a distance: "Congratulations."

Zhou Jue returned the salute: "Good morning, Uncle Zhang, thanks to Zhang Hao, who woke me up with one sentence. Where's Zhang Hao?"

Although Zhou Jue's cultivation was in the middle stage of Yuanying, and Zhang Shengde was in the early stage of Yuanying; but because Zhou Jue had been discussing friendship with Zhang Haoping, when he saw Zhang Shengde, he had to call "Uncle" instead of "Fellow Daoist".

Zhang Shengde smiled helplessly: "That kid is still sleeping late."

"Ah..." Zhou Jue was a little taken aback, is the cultivator still sleeping late? Are you kidding me?

Just as he was talking, Zhang Hao pushed open the door and yawned: "What is it called early in the morning? It keeps people from sleeping. I don't know that I only fell asleep in the middle of the night last night!"

Zhou Jue had black lines all over his head: "Brother Shi, you can regain your energy after meditating for half an hour!"

"But it's so comfortable to sleep late."

"..." I thought you were pretty good just now, but a lazy sleep brought back my understanding of you to its original form.

Zhang Hao rubbed his eyes vigorously, yawned and said, "Brother Shi, I would like to invite you to attend the Xuantie Factory meeting later, is it convenient?"

"Okay!" Zhou Jue agreed without hesitation! He was hesitant to speak just now, but after the conversation last night, he was very interested in the Xuantie factory that the Zhang family will build.

…………

Liu Jingming, Ouyang Si, Li Yousheng, Feng Tai and others also arrived one after another, and everyone gathered in the lobby of the Zhang family.

But today, it is not Zhang Shengde who is sitting in the speaker position, but Zhang Hao.

Although the people from the Black Iron Guild were a little surprised, they quickly accepted it. Since the establishment of the Xuantie Guild, Zhang Hao has performed well.

Liu Jingming and Ouyang Si were a little surprised. With so many people at the scene, a young man was allowed to give the lecture?

As for Zhang Hao, he opened his mouth in shock: "Everyone, the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Taihua sent troops from the north and the south at the same time again, making the Kingdom of Jinyang exhausted.

Now, the eastern defense line of the Kingdom of Jinyang has fallen, and the eastern part of the Kingdom of Jinyang has fallen.

And Anqing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang, is also in jeopardy. "

Everyone was silent for a moment, and they were really shocked by the news.

The six western countries have been fighting against the east all year round, and of course they understand what the loss of the Kingdom of Jinyang means: the six western countries are in danger!

Ouyang Si spoke first: "Zhang Hao, where did you get the news? Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Hao turned his head to look at Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue stood up and introduced himself: "Zhou Jue, the chief disciple of the Nine Suns Sect, whose Dharma name is Yun Juezi, and my father, Xinglintang Zhou Shuhai."

"Gudu..." He swallowed his saliva first to suppress his shock, but he didn't expect such a guest to appear.

Liu Jingming had seen Zhou Jue a long time ago, but he didn't know why Zhou Jue came today, and he didn't say anything. Only now did Liu Jingming have a guess.

I heard Zhou Jue continue to say: "I brought the information about the Kingdom of Jinyang, and it is the information channel of the Nine Suns Sect. I can guarantee the truth. And this is already a day ago."

Everyone murmured at once, all dizzy from the news.

"Quiet!" Zhang Hao shouted, "Everyone, the reason we are here is to solve these problems."

What Zhang Hao said made even Ouyang Si and Liu Jingming curious. How do you solve it?

I heard Zhang Hao continue to say: "If we want to win the war, we must develop our own advantages. What are our advantages?

It's Xuan Tie!

The East has monopolized the trade routes, leaving us in short supply of pills.

But we have black iron, countless high-quality black iron! If we can bring out the power of black iron, we will have a body made of black iron, and it will be invincible! "

"Ahem..." Ouyang Si interrupted Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, what you said is reasonable, but black iron is not a unique resource in the west, and there are many resources in the east. The advantages of black iron you mentioned are What is meant?"

"A magic weapon of war! And, a machine!"

As he said that, Zhang Hao clapped his hands, and immediately a guard came in dragging the Zhang Family's Cloud Piercing Crossbow. After optimization, the current cloud piercing crossbow is much smaller, but its power has not decreased but increased.

Zhang Hao pointed to the cloud piercing crossbow: "This is called the cloud piercing crossbow. It is powerful enough to shoot and kill a dragon at the peak of the Jindan stage at a height of hundreds of feet. Zhou Jue can testify to this."

Zhou Jue nodded to everyone.

Zhang Hao continued: "We have matured the technology of making the cloud piercing crossbow, and it is relatively simple; only the arrow part needs special treatment, but there is no need to use different fires, etc., the real fire of a cultivator is enough.

A cloud piercing crossbow needs 400 kilograms of crude iron and 200 kilograms of black iron. But its power is enough to shoot through a Jindan stage master. It has an impact on the masters of the Nascent Soul stage.

A golden core stage needs more than ten years, even decades to cultivate.

But the Zhang family can make three to five cloud piercing crossbows and thousands of arrows every day.

Assuming that one day in the future, we will fight against the Eastern Army, all arrows will be fired, think about what it will be like? "

"War can't be counted like this!" Ouyang Si directly retorted, "Jiaolong is a dragon, and it is a monster. Jindan stage practitioners come and go like the wind, have rich combat experience, and are protected by armor and talismans. It is very difficult to kill a master at the Jindan stage.

Moreover, the ballista is heavy and vulnerable to damage.

Moreover, in large-scale wars, there are battle formations, which can greatly weaken the threat of crossbow arrows. "

Zhang Hao responded tit for tat: "Uncle Ouyang is right. But the ballista can be manipulated only by adults! If we produce tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, we can completely attack the enemy's army under the condition of defense.

Besides, it's not that we don't have Golden Core Stage here.

The foster father once said that our Western tactics are to use masters to hold back the enemy's masters, and let soldiers rely on weapons of war to win.

If every three or five soldiers can manipulate a ballista, it will deal a fatal blow to the enemy. "

Ouyang Si frowned: "War is not as simple as you imagine."

"The black iron is not only used in one way. We can also produce a large number of weapons of war and armor.

In the past, because the production of high-end black iron was not much, the price was high, and a suit of magic-level armor cost more than a hundred top-grade spirit stones at worst, which was unbearable for many cultivators.

Even a country can only equip soldiers with a shield.

If the production of black iron increases and the price is greatly reduced, we can equip every soldier in the foundation period with magic weapon armor! Let their combat power increase several times! "

Ouyang Si still has doubts: "But it is very difficult to produce magic weapon armor. The difficulty and requirements of armor are almost a hundred times that of Feijian!"

"Then what if the Zhang family has a way to increase the production speed of magic weapons by more than a hundred times?"

"What? Impossible!" Liu Jingming and Ouyang Si exclaimed at the same time. Zhou Jue opened his mouth wide in surprise.
