Chapter 277 The Giant Ship Zhiyuan

Zhang Hao grasped the meaning of Xuanzhen Sect, leaving almost no room for words. The atmosphere suddenly froze. With Liu Dingshan's "I support", the atmosphere was pushed to the brink of explosion.

Taoist Guanyun took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath, but his eyes gradually turned cold. "Zhang Hao, right? Since you said that the victor has the right to end the war, what do you mean to say: Do you want to fight the Xiaoyao Party?"

"Oh, senior, you scared me to death, how dare I. I just want to say that since Daoist Dingshan has intervened in the war, he must be prepared...to have his arms chopped off!!!

War is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want. Daoist Dingshan didn't want to pay any price, but wanted to take back his divine sense, that's impossible!

During this war, the Qixia Kingdom lost all kinds of wealth, and it is roughly estimated that there are 40 million high-grade spirit stones. Including war attrition, personnel loss, national destruction, etc. The whole country of Qixia has been hollowed out in half, and I'm afraid it won't be slowed down in the next thirty to fifty years.

Hey, senior, you said, we have provoked someone, and we have suffered such a loss, almost destroying the country. Millions of people have been displaced, and almost every family in the country of Qixia wears mourning.

Senior, what do you think we should do? "

Taoist Guanyun frowned, "Little guy, you're wrong! We're not talking about war."

"No, since Daoist Dingshan participated in the war, we must negotiate from the perspective of war. Senior, do you know that Daoist Dingshan is... so ruthless this time.

That senior Xie Yingxin actually brought the avatar of Daoist Dingshan's spiritual sense with him, but kept it secret. This was clearly a plan to kill Senior Liu Dingshan.

In this war, if our side is a little slower, Senior Liu Dingshan will definitely be besieged by Xie Yingxin, Zhao Kai, and Daoist Dingshan. There is no doubt that he must die! And at that time, the country of Qixia... I'm afraid it's about to perish.

Senior, you said we asked for some compensation, should we? "

Daoist Guanyun was furious: "Blood! Talking nonsense! Liu Dingshan is in the late stage of transformation!"

"But senior Liu Dingshan only reached the late stage by chance a few days ago; Xie Yingxin, Zhao Kai, and Daoist Dingshan didn't know it. They really miscalculated, but they miscalculated because they were stupid and couldn't offset their murderous intentions and motives! "

Daoist Guanyun finally couldn't bear it anymore, he turned his head to look at Hong Zhenzi, with a roar in his tone: "Hong Zhenzi, this is the disciple of your Xuanzhen sect!"

There was a slight sneer on Hong Zhenzi's face: "Yes, it's good! There's nothing wrong with fighting for your own interests. Since you have intervened in the war, it is still a war within the scope of our Xuanzhen Sect. If you have grasped the handle, you must make some representations.

Fellow Daoist, please don't say that Xie Yingxin brought Dingshan Fellow Daoist's mind to transform into a god, just for the sake of looking good.

By the way, according to fellow Taoist Liu Dingshan's description, if my expectations are correct, then what Xie Yingxin is carrying should be a 'battle puppet', the kind of battle puppet that can exert 80% of its combat power in a short period of time!

Hehe, on the battlefield, bring a battle puppet, tsk tsk..."

After speaking, Hong Zhenzi took the little wooden figure from Daoist Mingxu, and said to Daoist Guanyun, "Do you want to get back this divine sense?"

Taoist Guanyun didn't speak, but looked at the little wooden figure with a tangled and passive expression.

"Then you can negotiate with Zhang Hao." Hong Zhenzi showed a playful smile on his face, "I am quite interested in the war compensation proposed by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao, come here, let me tell you something. "

Zhang Hao came to Hong Zhenzi, and Hong Zhenzi sent a voice transmission: "Zhang Hao, you performed well today, and you were able to force a god-like stage to look helpless. Very good, continue.

On our side, we originally thought that it would be good to let the Xiaoyao faction apologize and pay a little compensation for some elixir and spiritual materials. But I changed my mind today and leave it to you.

The stage of transforming gods is a pillar, even if it is a holy land, it cannot be lost. It is estimated that the Xiaoyao faction's spiritual transformation stage is around forty, and the loss of a spiritual transformation stage will have a great impact.

Therefore, as long as the conditions are right, they will still give in. "

Zhang Hao knew it well, and he also had a general idea of ​​the power of the Holy Land. There are more than a hundred countries in the entire Fertile Continent; based on the calculation of two gods in each country, that is about two hundred.

If each of the three holy places has 40 god-turning disciples, and considering the good heritage of the holy places and the solid foundation of practice, the power of the three holy places is enough to compete with the entire Continent of Fertile Soil.

In this way, the value of a god transformation period and its effect on the Holy Land can also be calculated. A deity transformation period is almost equivalent to half a country! But with the wealth of half the country, it may not be possible to exchange for a god-turning stage!

Zhang Hao knew it in his mind, but in the negotiation... Zhang Hao played a small game. "Not negotiating individually."

"Not negotiating alone? What do you mean?" Daoist Guanyun was in a passive state throughout today, dizzy and confused by Zhang Hao's various problems today.

"That's the literal meaning! This time, the Kingdom of Jinyang was defeated, and Daoist Dingshan was on the side of the Kingdom of Jinyang. So what I mean is that a battle between the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang was initiated." war negotiations.

The matter of Daoist Dingshan will be placed in this negotiation.

As for how to distribute war reparations between the Xiaoyao faction and the Kingdom of Jinyang, we... will not participate! "

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Liu Dingshan, Daoist Ming Xu, and Hong Zhenzi's eyes lit up. Zhang Hao's approach is very good! First of all, it avoids a direct collision with the Xiaoyao faction, and in this way, it can be ruthless.

Secondly, in the eyes of outsiders, this Xiaoyao faction has instigated the rebellion of the Jinyang Kingdom-you must be responsible. If you are too stingy in the end, it will affect the reputation of the Xiaoyao faction.

This has dug a big hole for the Xiaoyao faction invisibly, before the negotiation even started!

And Daoist Guanyun naturally saw the problem, but in the end he still had to nod. If the stalemate continues here, he might not be able to help but pat Zhang Hao into meatloaf. This bastard is too hateful. Who knows what other nefarious ideas there are.

Taking advantage of his young age and the support of Xuanzhen Sect, Zhang Hao dared to say anything. Play tricks.

However, as the saying goes, if you are afraid of dying in a daze, Zhang Hao's tricks to kill him make it difficult for Taoist Guanyun to parry. This is not a competition for cultivation, but a competition for death.

The negotiation has finally been finalized, and everyone agreed that the negotiation will take place in ten days, and it will be held at Huaishan Pass, the checkpoint between Qixia Country and Jinyang Country.

After the agreement was made, Daoist Guanyun left angrily; and Liu Xinyu sent an envoy to inform the Kingdom of Jinyang—Although we did not continue to attack, you were defeated, but you have to pay a price, otherwise we don’t mind helping the Kingdom of Danyang Recover, and then send troops to attack you together!

…………

Things came to an end temporarily, but Zhang Hao started to get busy. First of all, I took the two God Transformation Stages to experience the Great Formation of Sealing the Heaven and Earth in the ruins of Guangling City, which made the two Spirit Transformation Stages amazed.

After watching the big formation, Hong Zhenzi made a decisive decision to buy three sets of such formations, and produce them according to the size of the large, medium and small.

Small ones require a range of one kilometer, medium ones require a range of ten kilometers—that’s what they are now, and there are large ones—you can make as big as you can.

As long as the cost and the precious spiritual materials needed, such as the fine gold of the stars, etc., Xuanzhen Sect will send them. The three sets of formations were all produced by Dayang Group.

Finally, Hong Zhenzi asked Zhang Hao how much he expected to pay.

Zhang Hao made a rough calculation: "We are not sure about the largest formation yet. However, it is expected to use about 600 tons of high-grade steel and black iron for the range of one kilometer and ten kilometers, and 600 tons of black iron for alchemy. !"

"Hiss... isn't that very expensive?" Hong Makoto was a little worried. The price of six hundred tons of black iron for alchemy is not an astronomical figure, is it?

Zhang Hao looked around, and Liu Dingshan left consciously.

Zhang Hao said in a low voice: "Master, Master Uncle, the Zhang family's cost price of black iron for alchemy is very low because of technological progress."

"Oh...how much?"

"20 spirit stones."

"It's not cheap, is it?" Hong Mako said softly.

"It's a low-grade spirit stone, not a high-grade spirit stone."

"Pfft..." Hong Makoto was stunned, "So cheap?"

"Um!"

Feng Zhiling yelled: "It's so cheap! No wonder you never let me get close to that research base. Then you sell the lowest price of 20 high-grade spirit stones, which is... ten thousand times the price! You are really ruthless." !"

"There is no profiteering, no business. Besides, if I sell it cheaply, people will not believe it. In fact, although our cost price is very low, the price of a product does not only refer to the cost of calculation, but also to the calculation of technology!

Costs can be calculated, but technology cannot be calculated.

The Zhang family's existence today is entirely the result of technological progress. Master, grand uncle, if you have time, let me show you around the production base of the Zhang family. "

Daoist Master Mingxu and Daoist Hongzhen were of course curious.

Young master Zhang took the cheap master and the cheap master uncle to visit his home site. First, I saw the Xuantie Factory and felt the power of industrialization, and then I tried firing artillery in the still desolate place of Luanci Mountain; then I went to Zhang's shipbuilding base!

Along the way, Daoist Ming Xu and Hong Zhenzi were constantly amazed, while Feng Zhiling remained silent throughout the journey. I saw that the industrially produced black iron is 97% pure when it comes out of the furnace. I also saw the madness of the artillery, the volley of ten 300mm artillery was earth-shattering, even in the stage of transformation, I felt a little bit of danger.

In the end, I was even more horrified when I saw the huge steel ship in front of me.

At this time, the giant steel ship is 90% complete. Cannons and superstructures have been placed on the giant ship. It's just that it hasn't been painted yet, so it looks a little dusty.

But this kind of gray color, not only does not give people a sense of "dilapidation", but also has an indescribable heaviness.

Even Hong Mako couldn't help touching the body of the giant steel ship with his hands, feeling its strong power, and felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

The current battleship has almost completed outfitting, and its dead weight is as high as 2,600 tons! These two thousand and six hundred tons are all steel, and it is also the top steel, the kind of steel forged with black iron specially used for alchemy.

When the outside world is still worrying about the lack of black iron for alchemy, and when the Xuanzhen Sect headmaster is happy for a few kilograms of ultra-high-purity black iron, the Zhang family has already used steel to build ships. Moreover, it is 2,600 tons!

Because this giant steel ship is only simply outfitted, and the artillery is not too complicated, the gun mounts are removed, fixed brackets are added, and simple hydraulic devices are added to replace the crude benzene springs. However, due to technical limitations, the current hydraulic device is also a bit bulky.

But all of this cannot conceal the power of the giant ship.

In addition, in order to better increase the storage space, Zhang Hao also made use of the "saved" star fine gold in the process of refining the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation to increase several considerable storage spaces. These storage spaces are mainly used to store food, pills, spirit stones, etc., as well as some important items.

And considering that the storage space is not 100% reliable-this is an example in the big formation of sealing the sky and locking the earth, so all the materials have a separate storage space outside for emergency.

Zhang Hao took the two big bosses from Xuanzhen Sect to visit the battleship inside and out, and they were very careful, for fear that there was something the two big bosses didn't understand.

"Wait!" Hong Zhenzi pulled Zhang Hao, "Little guy, the previous visits were all just a quick tour, even the artillery production base, steel production base, steam turbine and machine tool production base, etc., you didn't show us around. But you are so enthusiastic about the shipbuilding base.

Enthusiastic, I was a little surprised.

Tell me, what are your plans! "

"Oh... I knew I couldn't hide it from the wise eyes of my uncle and master."

"Don't interrupt!" Daoist Mingxu glared at Zhang Hao.

"Well...Actually, this giant steel ship is what I want to show my uncle and master. To be precise, I want to show my uncle and master a brand new future - the road to the ocean!

Master, do you still remember "Kuodi Xiang" and the "Overseas Nine Immortal Mountains" on Kuodi Xiang? "

"Of course!" Daoist Mingxu agreed without hesitation. This "Kodi Xiang" was the root cause of his family's annihilation; and the reason why he was able to accept Zhang Hao as a disciple was also related to this "Kodi Xiang".

And the reason why the incident was so uproar at the beginning was also related to the "Overseas Nine Immortal Mountains" in "Kuo Di Xiang".

Hong Zhenzi looked at Zhang Hao, and said in shock: "You don't want to find the overseas Jiuxian Mountain, do you?"

"Why not!" Zhang Hao stood at the bow of the ship, gently stroking the railing, "Master Uncle, this giant steel ship is just the first giant ship of the Zhang family and Dayang Group, and there will be more in the future. There will be bigger ones.

Our first goal is to build a 300-meter steel warship to conquer the sea!

I am going to explore the other side of the ocean!

Since the beginning of historical records, the scope of our activities has never exceeded "Elephant Kuodi". But I don't believe that we are the only ones in this world, and there must be a wider world outside.

I want to go and see, to see the place where the sun rises, I want to see the place where the moon sets, I want to find the legendary Overseas Nine Immortals Mountain, and I want to see, at the end of this world, where is there? what! "

Zhang Hao's voice is not loud, very calm. But in these faint words, there is a majestic momentum.

I'm going to see where the sun rises!

This sentence, reverberating in the minds of Taoist Master Ming Xu and Hong Zhenzi, actually made the two masters of the transformation stage speechless for a long time.

This time, Zhang Hao didn't say that the earth is round. If others don't understand what he said, it's easy to think it's crazy. So, Zhang Hao learned to be smart this time.

But the words after learning to be smart shocked both Daoist Ming Xu and Hong Zhenzi. These words are majestic.

Daoist Mingxu looked at Zhang Hao's back, and was a little lost in thought for a moment—is this his disciple? At this moment, Taoist Master Mingxu suddenly had a wonderful feeling: as a disciple, his future achievements must far exceed his own.

After a while, Zhang Hao turned his head slowly, looked at Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi: "Master, Master Uncle, this is what I want to say to you two today.

Just to explore the sea, there are many dangers, I can build huge ships, but I don't have... a master! "

This is a dangerous world, and it is difficult to move an inch without a master. Zhang Hao brought Taoist Master Ming Xu and Hong Zhenzi here today, and the most important thing is to "cooperate".

But speaking of it, this is a bit risky, and Zhang Hao can't guarantee whether the Xuanzhen Sect will cooperate or possess it. But sometimes, it's always about taking a risk.

Moreover, Zhang Hao also had the worst plan - if the Xuanzhen Sect really took over, then he would be at risk... defecting!

In fact, the reason why Zhang Hao took Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi to visit the Xuantie factory, test the artillery, and test the Great Formation of Sealing the Heaven and Earth before was to 'increase their own value', so that Xuanzhenjiao would not make irrational judgments.

Of course, there is one more thing that contributed to Zhang Hao's decision - being a teacher for one day and being a father for the rest of his life! This is an unshakable rule of this world.

In short, for this final meeting, Zhang Hao has been carefully planning for a long time.

The most important thing is that all future actions will inevitably be unable to avoid the Xuanzhen Sect, and it is better to be open and honest than to be sneaky.

Sometimes, it is to seek wealth and danger, be cautious, restrain your hands, and how to do great things.

Obviously, Daoist Ming Xu and Hong Zhenzi are not idiots, they gradually figured out Zhang Hao's meaning.

After a while, Hong Zhenzi sighed with emotion: "After I was a child, I still remember a word Master said to me, and I still remember it.

If there is no long-term ambition, how can we go far!

Zhang Hao, today I give this sentence to you.

Similarly, today, on behalf of Xuanzhen Sect, I make a promise to you: develop with confidence. For so many years, the reason why Xuanzhen Sect has been able to grow continuously is because... we have been silently supporting the development of every disciple behind the scenes. "

"Thank you, Master Uncle." Zhang Hao was overjoyed.

Hong Zhenzi patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Actually, Xuanzhen Sect...has been in trouble for a long time. You may not know that your six western countries have been exploited, and Xuanzhen Sect has also been blocked by the two holy places in the east. We have been looking for new direction of development."

After Zhang Hao heard this, he immediately said seriously: "I will definitely find a new path for the West of Fertile Land Continent and for Xuanzhen Sect!"

After a short pause, Zhang Hao patted the railing and said, "If you don't have a long-term ambition, how can you go far... I am going to name the first giant ship——Zhiyuan. Zhang Hao has the courage to ask my uncle to write an inscription for the giant ship!"

(If there is no long-term ambition, how far can we go. It is presented to every reader. It also includes pirated readers who are silently paying attention.)

(I can’t write anymore, not only my hands are tired, but my heart is also tired. These days, I have to count my sleep time. I get up at six o’clock every day, sleep for an hour and a half at noon, and work until around 23:00 at night. Everyone is on vacation, and I But he was working overtime like crazy, eating instant noodles.

Before this challenge, an author friend warned me not to update too much, because if there are too many, everyone will go back to read pirated copies instead. I said I don't believe it, I think the subscription score should improve.

But the actual data is very disappointing. The average order continued to decline. And apart from the monthly pass red envelopes issued by the system, today, there was not a single monthly pass that was issued naturally. The number of recommended votes remained flat over the same period.

Tianya doesn't ask for many tips, but recommendation tickets are available every day, so why not many. Pleading for a normal subscription, not too much. The original version is really difficult, and it is still required.

That's it for now, not sure if I'll be able to write a third chapter tonight. )
