Chapter 248 What Do You Think of My Granddaughter?

Poor Zhang Hao didn't even have time to wash up, so Liu Dingshan pushed him towards the beach. Everyone was clamoring and couldn't wait.

Zhang Hao looked at everyone's eyes shining, so he could only lead the way.

The gate of the shipbuilding base is heavily guarded. Although the strength of the Zhang family is limited, the highest cultivation level of the guards here is only at the Jindan stage; but relying on a powerful formation, they can block the attack of the Yuanying stage.

Coupled with Zhang Haoxuan's identity as a disciple of the True Sect, and the disapproval of the marine industry by the entire practice community, there is no danger for a while.

The barrier opened slowly, and Liu Dingshan was the first to rush in, directly onto the deck. Then the old man looked left and right.

Zhang Hao quietly waited for Liu Dingshan's 'surprise'. But after waiting for a while, Liu Dingshan asked with some doubts: "Where is the giant steel ship you mentioned?"

Zhang Hao: ...

Liu Xinyu twitched the corner of her mouth and pointed at the old man's feet: "Grandpa, this is it!"

"Ah... oh?" Liu Dingshan's primordial spirit glanced around for an instant, and finally took a breath, "Good guy, this is really a giant steel ship!"

Then the old man finally let go of Zhang Hao, flew up by himself, and observed around the giant ship.

Zhang Hao looked around and smiled slightly: "Everyone is free to observe. We plan to start the first water test at ten o'clock in the morning."

Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, the crowd dispersed suddenly.

Zhou Xueyao also brought her brother and father to observe. Zhou Xueyao's familiarity with this place is not inferior to that of Zhang Hao.

But Liu Xinyu walked to Zhang Hao's side silently, looking at the giant steel ship under his feet, he was speechless for a while.

About forty days ago, Liu Xinyu witnessed the laying of the keel and ribs of the battleship here, and at that time Liu Xinyu felt an unprecedented shock.

One of the most important reasons why Liu Xinyu dared to kill his brother decisively and seize power was that Liu Xinyu saw a new hope for the Qixia Kingdom in the Zhang family! A new, real hope.

That's a future like no other, and this future...works!

It’s just that Liu Xinyu was standing by, and Zhang Hao was still a little nervous——Zhou Xueyao just asked me who was better the day before yesterday.

Liu Xinyu didn't feel anything, she said quietly, "Zhang Hao, do you still remember when you first met, you said you were going to the west?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said nothing.

Liu Xinyu sighed leisurely, "At that time, I didn't believe it, and even thought it was absurd. But what you said, 'the country of Qixia has no soil for victory', is deafening.

That was the first time that I had a clear understanding of the future of Qixia Kingdom. Our future lies not in the Eastern Expedition and land, but in the sea.

But I have always had doubts about the sea. Because Qixia Kingdom had tried twice before, but the result was too tragic. And not only the Qixia country tried it, but also the Zhoushan country, and even the Danyang country tried it, and they were all swallowed by the green sea of ​​death.

Conventional treasure ships simply cannot sail on the Green Sea of ​​Death.

It wasn't until I saw Zhang's ironclad ship model that I gained confidence for the first time. It was not until more than forty days ago, when I saw the steel skeleton under construction, that I finally made up my mind:

Claim the future from the sea! "

After a short pause, Liu Xinyu suddenly said: "Zhang Hao, I prepared a proposal half a month ago, before you went to the Land of Canglan. As long as the first sea exploration is successful, you will become Qixia The only one in the kingdom, Duke!"

"Ah..." Zhang Hao was a little surprised.

"But you have to succeed!" Liu Xinyu said, smiled slightly, turned her head and left, and took the people around her to visit this unprecedented giant ship.

Zhang Hao quietly retreated to the edge of the dry dock, seeing everyone's excited expressions, he also showed a satisfied and proud smile. In fact, a boat of more than 110 meters is not small, but in this world of practice, it is not considered an 'extra large boat'.

As far as Zhang Hao knows, some of the ships sailing in the inland sea can reach seventy feet—that's two hundred meters in length. In this world of practice, there is something extraordinary after all.

But these treasure ships are very fragile, and they can be dismantled at any Golden Core Stage.

But Zhang's boat is different, it is completely made of steel. Not to mention the golden core stage, even if the Nascent Soul stage attacks with all its strength, it can only leave a little trace.

Steel, a brand new material, was surprising when it first appeared.

No, Liu Dingshan in the transformation stage grabbed a small I-beam that was as thick as an arm, and finally bent it slightly after using a lot of strength, but the veins in his arms were bulging.

In the end Liu Dingshan nodded affirmatively: "I don't need real energy, and I can't hurt this giant ship just by relying on my body strength. The Nascent Soul stage can't pose a threat to this giant ship at all.

If you sail along the seaside within a thousand miles, you will not encounter monsters in the transformation stage. This ship is completely unimpeded in the green sea of ​​death!

If it is added with a formation enchantment, it can even resist the attacks of monsters in the transformation stage. "

Hearing Liu Dingshan's evaluation, Zhang Hao had a relaxed smile on his face. Such a master's evaluation is really important, and it can make Zhang Hao and the craftsmen of the Zhang family completely at ease. After all, what everyone has to face is the green sea of ​​death.

Liu Dingshan turned around, and after coming out of the power room, he came to Zhang Hao and asked, "Today is just a water test?"

"Yes."

"Then how long will it take if you want to go on a long voyage?"

"Senior, this cannot be determined for the time being. After all, it is our first time to use steel to build a ship. But according to the design and previous work efficiency, it is estimated that it will take about one and a half months.

We also need to add the superstructure of the giant ship, as well as the erection of artillery and giant crossbows.

It’s okay to say that the superstructure is going to be simple; but the artillery and the giant crossbow can’t be sloppy, and that will be the main means of attack for the giant ship. Most of the next month and a half will be spent installing and debugging these weapons.

There is also the formation barrier, which also takes some time, and it is expected to take up most of the time. "

Liu Dingshan suddenly said: "Can I participate in the construction, I am in charge of the formation!"

"what?"

"Ah what, you just say yes or no!"

"Okay, of course, it's great!" Zhang Hao said incoherently in surprise. Although everything is fine for the steel giant ship, there is a very difficult thing, which is to add a formation barrier to the ship.

This is the world of practice, if an item does not have a formation enchantment, its defense ability will be reduced by at least half; and defense ability is directly related to offense - a large amount of power is used for defense, and the offense will inevitably weaken. If you are in a hurry, you will even lose your attack power completely.

After the surprise, Zhang Hao immediately decided: "In this case, the formation and barrier of this giant steel ship will be handed over to seniors. On behalf of Dayang Group, I will give seniors a 20% stake in this ship!"

20% of a ship's shares, in exchange for the support of a master of the transformation stage, and the support of the Qixia Kingdom's royal family, this deal is still very cost-effective. It's just a ship anyway.

"Shares? Well, good!" Liu Dingshan was not polite.

Zhang Hao immediately greeted Hou Shangzhuo: "Hou Shangzhuo, this is a senior in the God Transformation Stage, just call him Senior Liu. He will be in charge of the formation and barrier of the giant ship. You should take the senior to familiarize yourself with the design of the giant ship, especially Graphic design, etc.

The ship will also have a 20% stake in Senior Liu. "

Hou Shangzhuo should be. Liu Dingshan was a little curious, "This Hou Shangzhuo is only on the seventh floor of the qi refining stage, and it seems that he is not very stable. Is this person in charge of such a huge ship?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "To be precise, he is almost responsible for most of the data calculation and analysis of the giant ship."

Liu Dingshan was a little surprised: "Oh...why don't you use the foundation-building stage or the Golden Core stage?"

"Because what we are going to carry out is an unprecedented attempt, and we need people with unfixed ideas to develop it. Generally speaking, people in the foundation building stage and Jindan stage have their own fixed ideas."

Of course, the most important thing is: be obedient. After being discovered and promoted by Zhang Hao in these qi refining stages, they have almost worshipful trust in Zhang Hao, and this is the most important thing. But Zhang Hao didn't say this.

Between competence and trust, trust stands higher. No matter how good the ability is, but it is not your own, it is useless. What's more, what the Zhang family is tossing about is indeed new things, and those who use masters and those who use the Qi refining period really don't have much impact.

Liu Dingshan nodded slowly, and was about to visit the giant ship again as a 'shareholder' and technician. But at this time Zhang Shengde intervened. He paid a visit to Liu Dingshan first, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Senior, I want to ask senior for help."

"Tell me." Liu Dingshan was in a good mood.

Zhang Shengde glanced at Zhang Hao, and said: "The dog has always loved the daughter of Xinglintang. Dare to ask the senior to be a matchmaker."

"Oh..." Liu Dingshan was a little stunned, there is such a thing. But Liu Dingshan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's fine to be a matchmaker, but what do you think of my granddaughter?"
