Chapter 323 Yelang Is Arrogant?

As night fell slowly, the sailors on the battleship were running and jumping excitedly. The climate here is much warmer, which is roughly equivalent to the breath of spring. There are lush green trees on the shore, and there are even birds and beasts. Such a climate phenomenon makes many people excited.

Zhang Hao looked at everyone, just smiled, and stood on the bow of the ship, continuing to chat with Zhao Dahe. The warm weather made Zhao Dahe think more, and Zhang Hao also took the opportunity to give some guidance. Zhang Hao cherishes such an expert in astronomy.

Zhang Hao is very clear that his own ability is limited after all, and he still has to rely on a large number of talents to realize his plan——Touching the Starry Sky

Because there were people on the shore, Zhang Hao asked the shopkeeper who came with the battleship to try to set up a stall on the shore, trade, and inquire about the news and prices here, etc. by the way.

The transaction process was relatively smooth. During the day, the battleship showed its strength, and at night everyone became more honest. Through some basic transactions, shopkeepers gradually got a lot of useful information. The transaction continued until dawn, and both parties were very satisfied with the transaction results.

And Zhang Hao also had a general understanding of the situation in the Taotu Continent.

Different from the Continent of Fertile Earth, although there are countries in the Continent of Great Earth, the influence of the sect is obviously higher than that of the state, and the countries here are all affiliated to the sect.

Geographically, here are:

Sacred Fire Cult...Ming Cult

Red Lotus Sect... Xuanming Sect... Great Luo Sect

...the Wushengtianluo religion...the nine pylorus gates

...The Heavenly Demon Sect...the Flaming Snow Mountain Sect.

There are a total of nine large 'super holy places', or 'religions'. The rest of the sects, countries, etc., mostly revolve around these religions.

Among them, Mingjiao, Xuanmingjiao, Daluozong, and Jiuyoumen firmly controlled the trade in the east and northeast, and the four major sects jointly blocked the trade routes in the west and southwest.

Among them, Mingjiao and Xuanmingjiao are the most powerful.

The Flaming Snow Mountain Sect is a bit special and quite mysterious.

The Sacred Fire Sect, the Red Lotus Sect, the Wu Sheng Tian Luo Sect, and the Tian Demon Sect are in an absolute and exploited position. They also went to the east, but they can only be said to be courageous - this is so similar to the state of the six western countries such as the Qixia Kingdom.

It's just that there is still some room for exploitation by several Eastern sects. The price of Peiyuan Pill fluctuates between about 5 spirit stones and 8 spirit stones-some expensive, but not unbearable, and lower than the cost of war.

In addition, the reason why the Skeleton River has this name is because it flows through Xuanming Sect and Wu Sheng Tian Luo Sect, and the war between these two sects is the most intense. Dead bodies often float down the river into the sea. After a long time, there was such an "appropriate" name as "Kukuujiang".

Zhang Hao and others discussed all this information for a long time, but they didn't realize that it was dawn.

The two warships waited at the mouth of the Skeleton River until the next morning, and the woman finally returned; but at this time, she changed into a white dress, which was a bit more glamorous. There are also some people with me.

She came to the front of the battleship and said to Zhang Hao: "The head teacher agrees to the transaction. But the price you gave yesterday... is a bit high! The head teacher said that your price is not bad, but if it is as big as you said We cannot afford this price for a large-scale transaction!"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Then let the professionals talk about it. Seniors, please get on the boat and rest."

The woman suddenly smiled, a little coquettishly: "Oh...you dare to let me on the boat?"

"This... don't seniors dare to board the ship?"

"Hum!" The woman snorted, and flew towards the bow of the battleship Iron Duke where Zhang Hao was. The barrier faded slowly, and the woman and the people around her also landed on the deck.

Zhang Hao kept smiling and welcoming on the surface, but he was full of vigilance in his heart. However, sometimes necessary risks are justified, and Zhang Hao felt that the Red Lotus Sect even brought negotiators, and did not play tricks such as summoning, so it seemed more credible.

The most important thing is that Zhang Hao has confidence—the other party has already expressed his expectation for this transaction and even future transactions in his words.

In fact, the situation in the West of the Land of Land and the Land of Qixia is almost the same - they urgently need a lifeline of their own.

The woman slowly came to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao looked at it from a close distance, but suddenly he was a little surprised. This woman has a long, plump figure, which is extremely enchanting; on her slightly cold face, there seems to be a little bit of a dangerous smile. This demeanor and demeanor made Zhang Hao's heart skip a beat: this feeling, like a ghost poppy plant, made people feel a little restlessness in his heart.

The woman slowly approached Zhang Hao, which made Chen Yansong behind Zhang Hao vigilant.

Finally, the woman stood about two meters in front of Zhang Hao, and her voice was a little cold: "Let me introduce you formally, Hua Baixiang, Red Lotus teaches Zuo Guardian, the middle stage of transformation!"

"Zhang Hao, the person in charge of Dayang Group... ah..."

Hua Baixiang made a sudden move, and Chen Yansong retreated directly with a huge momentum, and she grabbed Zhang Hao.

"Stop!" Chen Yansong was shocked, but he couldn't approach Hua Baixiang's momentum.

Zhang Hao was even more stupid. Didn't expect the other party to make a move? Completely beyond my expectations!

But the next moment, Zhang Hao's eyes widened.

Hua Baixiang grabbed Zhang Hao with one hand and spanked his ass, sneering while beating, "Grandma? I told you to call me grandma! I said yesterday that I want to spank your ass, you must have forgotten it! Little fart Boy, it's okay to be so skinny.

After my old lady enters the stage of transforming gods, you are the first one who greets you with disrespectful shouts of Dharma protector and old lady. If I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth! "

Zhang Hao wants to cry but has no tears, Nima...what's the matter! The pain is really not very painful, but... it's a shame!

"Enough!"

"Do you still dare!"

"If you don't let me down again, I will fight back!"

"Okay, you fight back and show my old lady... If you dare to reach out and try, believe it or not, I will break your claw!"

Zhang Hao had to retract his half-stretched paw, and then used his powerful "Ah Q spirit" eyes to scan Hua Baixiang's body over and over again. I have to say that this is a mature peach, which is more exciting than a young girl. It's a pity that I can't move my heart...

In the end, Hua Baixiang threw Zhang Hao to Chen Yansong's side and snorted, "Boy, next time I let my mother hear you calling grandma, I will strip you naked and hang you at the intersection!"

Zhang Hao's face was purple, and he turned and left: "You guys talk, I'll be quiet..."

It's really embarrassing today. In the public, he was hanged and spanked... Young master Zhang felt that his heart, liver and lungs had been seriously injured.

Beside, the negotiators of both sides were stunned for a while, but finally continued.

The price given by Dayang Group is quite reasonable. For example, the most common Peiyuan Pill costs 1 spirit stone—here, the original Peiyuan Pill costs 5 to 8 spirit stones.

The price of black iron for alchemy with a purity of 99% starts at 30 high-grade spirit stones—while the original black iron for alchemy here starts at more than 60, and the quality is far inferior to that of Dayang Group's black iron.

There is also steel, three times the price of black iron of the same purity - this is the temporary market price, and the price is set by Dayang Group.

In addition, the two parties also proposed a cooperation agreement for the exchange of precious medicinal materials - some precious medicinal materials that can be used to refine elixirs above the Nascent Soul Stage are often bartered.

The negotiation lasted for more than two days, and it basically ended at noon on the third day. The two sides negotiated each commodity separately. It also agreed that if new products appear in the future, they must be negotiated before pricing.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Master Zhang Hao walked to the deck with a straight face, just in time to see Hua Baixiang setting up a recliner on the bow of the ship, looking at the negotiation next to him leisurely. Negotiations are drawing to a close at this point, and the two sides are agreeing on the final details.

The one who signed the agreement with Zhang Hao was Dayang Group, and the one who signed the agreement with Red Lotus Sect was Hua Baixiang. The two signed it together, and the agreement was considered complete. As for the swearing and the like, it doesn't exist.

However, Zhang Hao avoided talking about the cannon that Hua Baixiang asked about, which made Hua Baixiang look at Young Master Zhang with a bit... eerie look!

After a long time, this "Skull River Trade Agreement" was highly praised. But along with the agreement, there was also...the incident about Zhang Hao being spanked by Hua Baixiang~

The agreement was signed, and the battleship officially entered the Skull River and went upstream.

Dugu Junjie flew in front, responsible for observing the waterway. The Skeleton River has a relatively high terrain, and it is quite difficult for warships to swim upstream. Only after the battleship has activated the water-dispelling formation, can it barely sail.

Fortunately, the Skeleton River is a big river with a width of about two kilometers and a width of seven to eight hundred meters at the narrowest point. I don't know how many years of washing down, nature has opened up a waterway by itself.

The boat walked about ten kilometers inland, and Zhang Hao saw that there seemed to be a large number of people busy on both sides of the bank, and they seemed to be arranging formations. Suddenly asked curiously.

Zhang Hao had some doubts before, the seaside is generally relatively desolate, and there are people here who don't say that Huabaixiang, the Zuo protector, is still here.

"It's a coincidence that a fine gold mine was discovered here recently. Our Red Lotus Sect uses the flame array to mine the mine, and directly smelts the mine to extract the spiritual material!"

"Ah..." Zhang Hao was shocked. At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly realized: this is the world of practice, and the Qixia Kingdom has been blocked in the past, and has hardly had much contact with the outside world. So, have I been a little arrogant in the past?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao asked, "Can I go up and have a look?"

"Let's go!" Hua Baixiang waved her hand, and a red flame lotus suddenly appeared, slowly floating in front of Zhang Hao. The flame lotus platform is crystal clear, like a crystal carving, and you can't feel the slightest warmth when you touch it lightly.

Zhang Hao stepped onto the lotus platform carefully, and another one appeared under Hua Baixiang's feet. The two slowly floated forward, and Zhang Hao saw a scene that shocked him.

A huge formation is rotating in mid-air, it is a lotus flower in full bloom - it is just a red lotus, a red lotus of flame. These lotus flowers are big and small, the big ones are tens of meters, and the small ones are tens of meters.

But at this time only a small part of the lotus formation is working.

The rocks or ores on the ground were drawn into the sky by spells one after another, falling into the lotus flower; and then turned into billowing magma. The magma flowed into a magma pool along the groove, and the magma pool remained in a white molten state, as if waiting to settle.

There are already several cooling magma pools nearby. In one of the solidified magma pools, craftsmen were cutting open the rock with their weapons. As the rock layer was broken, a layer of golden light appeared below.

Hua Baixiang was very proud: "Adamantine is much heavier than rocks. As long as the ore is melted, precipitated, and cooled, you can get adamantium. Using this method, when the formation is fully operational, we can hollow out a building in a month. mine!"

Zhang Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the world of practice...is really crazy! As far as the current point is concerned, it is somewhat difficult to achieve it by industrial means. But the formation... can really do it!

This gave Zhang Haoxin something to think about: It seems that the Zhang family's technology needs to be developed more boldly. Although the recent development is good, it can be faster!

Wait, all the practices and spells of the Red Lotus Sect seem to be related to flames. If you can get these materials from the Red Lotus Sect...it will be exciting to think about it. What is most needed for industrial development?

energy!

But most of the energy in industry is linked to high temperature. Smelting, casting, welding, distillation, steam turbines, etc., mostly use heat and high temperature!

Zhang Hao felt that this might be the next opportunity for Dayang Group to explode!

After returning to the battleship, the concept of 'welding' reverberated in Zhang Hao's mind; but he searched all the practice materials that could be found in the Qixia Kingdom before, but he couldn't find anything to learn from. Welding, in the past, was not needed at all, and this technology has naturally not been developed.

However, it is not that simple to research welding technology out of thin air. Zhang Hao had to admit that he had heard of welding, but he didn't know the principles of welding after all. After all, I am not omnipotent, I am very envious of those who bring their own internet-connected mobile phones after time travel.

Seeing Zhang Hao thinking, Hua Baixiang suddenly asked, "How do you open mines there?"

Zhang Hao said casually: "We use explosives, which are the explosives inside the artillery. We drill holes in the mountain, put the explosives into them, and turn them into powder when they hit the mountain. After that, we can mine like sand.

But what we mainly smelt is black iron, and the separation of iron ore is a little troublesome. "

"Dynamite... Is this explosive sold? I am already annoyed that the artillery is not sold. If you dare to say no again, I will hang you up and hang you on the side of the road!"

Zhang Hao: ...You are not negotiating.

Well, Zhang Hao has also changed his mind now, "Hua Dharma, it's not that I don't want to sell artillery, but...it's really inconvenient. I think this way:

You see, if all the shells had to be purchased from us, we would not be able to ship many shells at once.

The two ships combined can deliver 3,000 tons of shells. And back and forth, at least 20 days.

And how many shells are used in a war? In a war of 100,000 people, we can produce 2,000 to 5,000 tons overnight!

So I was thinking, giving someone a fish is not as good as teaching someone how to fish. But artillery technology is our core technology after all. This……"

Hua Baixiang squinted at Zhang Hao: "Boy, don't play deep in front of my old lady, you are still young. Tell me, what do you like about us? Don't be careless, but you only have one chance!"

"Old...cough cough...this Flower Protector, if you speak so directly, it will be hard for people to answer."

"Really, but you are so hypocritical, I don't even want to talk to you!"

"..." Zhang Hao took a deep breath, and took another deep breath, with a stiff smile on his face, "Okay, I'll just say it straight. I want some basic cultivation methods, arrays, spells, and some production techniques that you taught Wait."

"You want too much!"

"Artillery technology is not simple, it involves a lot of knowledge and secrets. And artillery is our core technology, and all I need is your general knowledge. We should be able to buy these things from the folk!"

Hua Baixiang suddenly stopped talking. She turned her head to look at the artillery on the bow. The barrel of the 460mm artillery can penetrate a person, and the root of the barrel almost hugs two people. Hua Baixiang glanced around with the power of Yuanshen, carefully observed the cannon for a long time, and finally nodded: "This... can be considered. But I have to report to the head teacher."

The battleship continued to advance, and finally the river began to calm down, and a boundless lake like a mirror appeared in front of everyone. There are also small islands on the lake. Flowers are blooming on the island.

"What a beautiful lake!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

"Beautiful?" Hua Baixiang smiled, and suddenly shot a fireball towards a small island ahead.

(Happy new week. The first update, 4500 words, work hard. Get up at 6:30.)
