Chapter 360 Imperial Iron Chains
The train rumbled, and the new train was rushing towards the imperial capital of Qixia Kingdom and Jianwu City at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
On the train, it was full of goods from the Land of Earth, as well as excited people.
The train roared past, the steam turbine roared powerfully, and a long black smoke was pulled out from the chimney of the train. Although Dayang Group's technology is good and is constantly improving, it has only been less than a year after all.
As for pollution... Zhang Hao selectively ignored it. Now it is not a question of pollution, but of rapid progress.
In the luxury compartment on the train, Zhang Hao, Shu Bennan, some officials on the warship and some businessmen etc. were discussing excitedly. Oh, and there is also the 'Deputy Minister of the Oceanic Department, Yin Hong' sent by the Queen to the port.
Yin Hong is a female officer. Liu Xinyu also took great pains in arranging this deputy minister of the Ministry of Ocean Development. In order to check and balance Zhang Hao's rights and avoid conflicts as much as possible, he finally had to choose a female officer, a beautiful woman, who was enough to compete with Zhou Xueyao.
Zhang Hao sat quietly, listening to Shu Bennan and others excitedly telling about the situation in the south.
"I'm in the rainy season. Boy, it was really pouring. It rained continuously for three days and three nights. At noon, the sky was so gloomy that you could hardly see your fingers.
The surface of the Skull River expanded from about two kilometers to five kilometers in just three days. In the end, the river channel was insufficient, and the water flowed all over the ground. Trees grow in the water, and all kinds of animals toss in the water.
I also saw a strange kind of grass that broke through the ground during the rainy season and grew three meters high on the first day; it grew to 20 meters on the fourth day, with a white flower blooming on it. This white flower can swallow an eagle in the sky in one gulp.
I also saw Jiaolong winding along the river in the big river. At the 'Bailong River', I saw a white dragon with a length of more than 300 meters. Good guy, the river will stop flowing if you turn around.
In the Bailong River, boats are not allowed to sail during the rainy season, and dragons, large and small, almost block the river. Don't know where it came from.
Also, on the Jingzhou Peninsula in the south of the Tianmo Sect, there is a kind of vine fruit that the locals call "Xiaoxiaoguo", which can be used to refine ordinary foundation building pills. Good guy, it's all over the mountain. We hired local people to collect two mountain tops, and only picked good ones that were more than ten years old, and we collected 600 tons!
These fruits are eaten by the locals casually. Very delicious fruit. In those days, we vomited from eating this.
Look, this is Xiaoxiaoguo.
We took a look, and there is a spirit stone vein underground. This fruit is rooted in the Lingshi vein. "
Zhang Hao took one and looked at it. It was the size of a fist, thin in the upper part and thicker in the lower part, with lavender lines. The texture on the surface of the fruit seems to form a plausible smiling face. It looks a little weird. But the fruit itself is non-toxic and has extremely high medicinal value.
Zhang Hao took a bite, it was crisp and sweet, with a faint fragrance. The kind of fragrance mixed with aura and medicine is refreshing and refreshing.
"Give me one!" Yin Hong stretched out her light white palm and looked at Shu Bennan with a smile. These two bastards, this beautiful woman is sitting here, and you can talk without looking away.
That's all for Zhang Hao, he is engaged, and his fiancée is Zhou Xueyao who has a reputation as a fairy. Where are you Shupennan?
Shu Bennan took out a big bag indifferently, "Here I am."
"You bribed?" Yin Hong smiled dangerously. Shu Bennan, offending a woman is very dangerous!
Shu Bennan froze for a moment, silently stuffed the fruit back into the storage ring, and continued chatting with Zhang Hao, "There is also a kind of purple bamboo shoots that grow on the veins of Lingshi. Wow, during the rainy season, it can grow all over the place overnight. After cutting it, I went to see it the next morning, and it was another place.
This kind of purple bamboo shoots can be used to refine Peiyuan Pill. However, this stuff is delicious when fried, it is smooth, delicate and crunchy, and it has a slight detoxification effect if eaten raw.
We also compete to eat purple bamboo shoots. That bastard Dugu Junjie actually ate 30 catties by himself! Donkey! "
Yin Hong was stunned for a while, and asked silently: "How much Peiyuan pill can be refined from 30 catties of purple bamboo shoots?"
"Oh, if you use it as the main medicine and add other medicines, you should be able to refine six or seven hundred Peiyuan pills."
"Hehe..." Yin Hong sneered, took out a small notebook and wrote it down, "You guys, let you go to open up the route, and you are wasting resources like this! I will tell His Majesty."
Shu Bennan: ...
Zhang Hao smiled and continued talking with Shu Bennan. If Yin Hong really reported to Liu Xinyu because of such a trivial matter, Liu Xinyu would probably be disappointed—too little to see the big picture.
It's not easy for everyone to go to sea, so eating some fruit is nothing.
The train arrived at the imperial capital in the evening, followed the special track, and directly entered the storage area of the imperial palace. When the 'giraffe', rhinoceros, hippopotamus, snapping turtle and other unique monsters in the south were moved down from the carriage, Liu Xinyu opened her mouth in surprise.
Shu Bennan excitedly floated to Liu Xinyu's side and shouted: "Your Majesty, fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission! This time we went all the way south to the territory of the Tianmo Sect, and the round trip was more than 42,000 kilometers.
When I got back I ran out of fuel. Thanks to Dayang Group's Skeleton River base having fuel reserves. "
Liu Xinyu's excited eyes narrowed slightly. "That is to say, going to the Tianmo Cult is already somewhat beyond our ability?"
Zhang Hao glared at Shu Bennan, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already started preparations. There are currently four ways of thinking.
First, build large supply ships.
Second, create storage space for steel warships. However, this requires the consumption of a large amount of star gold. But at present, we have a lot of star gold reserves.
Third, cancel the current fuel power and use Lingshi power instead. The energy of one cubic meter of Lingshi is almost equivalent to the energy of 27 cubic meters of fuel. However, this will increase costs.
The current fuel price of Dayang Group is about 50 yuan per cubic meter. That is, 0.5 Lingshi per cubic meter. 27 cubic meters of fuel is only 13.5 Lingshi. There are 2,700 Lingshi in one cubic meter. The difference is 200 times!
The fourth method is to buy land along the seashore and build coastal strongholds one by one. That's what we're doing now. It is also the most feasible method.
But this requires the cultivation of a large number of masters. In the future, it will grow stronger, and a stronghold needs at least one god transformation period to sit in it! "
Liu Xinyu nodded thoughtfully, and when she saw the mountains of goods being unloaded, she pointed to those strange southern monsters and asked, "What do these monsters do?"
"These monsters, I think, can build a zoo. The purpose of the zoo, on the one hand, is to study these monsters, and on the other hand, it is also a supplement to the education system, allowing children to understand the outside world.
Also, Your Majesty, you need a garden, a garden that is different, one that will reflect your authority. In this garden, there will be animals and plants from all over the world.
I plan that we can take out 100,000 square kilometers of land, assist the formation, and build a small ecological manor. "
Liu Xinyu's eyes brightened instantly.
But the Prime Minister Zhao Duo who was following him retorted loudly, "Your Majesty, I don't recommend doing this. Such an approach will definitely consume a lot of money. And just to protect this manor, I'm afraid it will require a large number of experts.
The country is still tense, the five eastern countries and even more countries are ambitious, and foreign troubles still exist. Please think twice, Your Majesty. "
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, forget it, this idea is indeed a bit ahead of his time.
Liu Xinyu adopted Zhao Duo's suggestion, and ordered to kill all the monsters on the spot, and the alchemy such as flesh and blood, and the magic weapons such as bones and skins.
Zhao Duo looked at Zhang Hao with complacent eyes. Zhang Hao turned a blind eye, what a big deal. There are enough animals on Taotu Continent to hunt and kill them for hundreds of years. Not in a hurry.
Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao with a half-smile in his eyes: "Zhang Hao, it's been almost three months in retreat, and you finally remembered the imperial capital?"
"No, Your Majesty, in fact, I really want to live in the imperial capital, so that I can see Your Majesty every day. It's just that I have too many things on me, so I have to stay in Ninghe County.
This time, I really miss His Majesty so much. "
Liu Xinyu's eyes flickered, and he snorted, "What's the matter!"
Zhang Hao took out the map from the storage ring, "Your Majesty, this time I came for the route."
"Talk to Baihuayuan."
When a group of people came to Baihuayuan, Zhang Hao slowly unfolded the map, and everyone saw that many new markings had been made on the map. In particular, there have been a lot of additions in the Taotu Continent; and many routes have been added in the once empty open sea.
Zhang Hao unfolded the map, took two steps back, and said with a smile, "First of all, congratulations, Your Majesty."
Liu Xinyu looked at the map for a while before raising her head and asking, "Congratulations?"
"Of course, congratulations to Your Majesty for being famous overseas. Now, there is no one on the west coast of Taotu Continent who does not know His Majesty's reputation. Everyone knows that there is a great queen in Qixia Country, who saved the country from crisis and led the country to a new stage. The pinnacle, and will continue to create miracles."
"Oh... what else?"
"Ah..." Zhang Hao was stunned, empress, shouldn't you be humble?
"Ah, what, are you here to flatter me today?"
"Ahem..." Zhang Hao was choked by Liu Xinyu's words, "Well, there is one more thing to do today, and that is the flight route.
Look, Your Majesty, do these air routes look like roots, absorbing nutrients from the west of the Territory Continent to nourish our country of Qixia?
Or, these routes are like iron chains; and by controlling these iron chains, we control the west coast of the Tall Earth Continent.
In the past six months, we have not only obtained generous remuneration through air routes, commodity and technology exports, but also indirectly affected local politics. "
Liu Xinyu finally stopped smiling and looked at the map seriously, or the nautical chart.
Gradually, Liu Xinyu's eyes began to sharpen, a faint ambition rose in Liu Xinyu's body.
She moved her fingers along the flight path, stared at the vast land of the Taotu Continent for a long time, and then looked at her own small land, her eyes gradually became firmer!
