Chapter 436 Landing
The battleship slowly docked. The terrain here has been eroded by ice and snow for many years, and an excellent port has been formed naturally. The huge warship Arctic Ocean can also dock.
On the shore, countless people stared dumbfounded at the steel battleship slowly approaching the shore, seeing the savage ice floes smashed all the way, feeling the majesty and arrogance of the steel battleship, and many people even held their breath.
"A boat made of iron!" I don't know how many people exclaimed.
I have seen a lot of wooden boats, but this is the first time I have seen iron boats! It was the first time I saw an iron ship, and it was such a huge iron ship, and it was still a fleet. One can imagine the impact on everyone.
There are no sails or oars, but there is smoke from the chimney on this ship... It's a bit strange.
Not all the battleships stopped, only the battleship Arctic Ocean docked on the shore, and did not break down. Accompanied by Liu Dingshan, Zhang Hao flew to the shore. However, the naval guns of the battleship behind him are already ready, and cannonballs can wash the ground at any time.
However, before Zhang Hao could speak, someone rushed over from all around:
"Excuse me, is this a boat made of black iron?"
"How can there be so much black iron, is it black iron?"
"Are you from Fertility Continent? Why have you never heard of it?"
"Can I go up and have a look?"
"How much is this boat? Buy one for fun..."
"Hey, your boat looks good, give me one. Otherwise, you guys look good!"
…
Zhang Hao looked around indifferently, with a little coldness in his calm eyes, "Is there no representative? Come out a few who can make the decisions! The idlers are waiting, please back away!"
"Hey, the one who made the decision turned out to be a kid in the golden core stage. Haha...is there no one here?"
"Boy, who do you call an idler!"
"I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. Do you know where this is? This is Liuli Island. There are too many dead faces like you. A lot of them die every day. If there is no place to bury them, they can only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
…
Zhang Hao sighed, and shouted to Dugu Junjie on the bow behind him: "Let them clean up."
"Okay!" Dugu Junjie sneered, commanding a nearby Zhenyuan-class warship to attack.
The bow of this battleship is a double 460mm naval gun, and the naval gun is aimed at a small hill on the shore. The small hill is about 30 meters high and hundreds of meters in diameter. It is covered with snow and ice, and only a few trees can be seen.
This hill is close to us, and there is no one on it.
The warship took aim quickly, and then... opened fire!
The current naval gun of Dayang Group has an exit speed of three to four times the speed of sound; everyone saw the flames flickering in front of the battleship, and then saw the flames flickering at the rear, about 150 feet away, and the ice and snow on the entire hill It exploded with a bang, and countless ice and snow flew into the air.
A circle of shock waves scattered wildly, and the ice and snow were lifted and shattered wherever they passed. Many people were unable to stand firmly and were blown away by the shock waves.
A loud noise like thunder echoed in the ears of countless people; the earth seemed to be trembling too.
On the sea, the warship that had just been launched was almost motionless, only a faint lingering smoke curled up from the muzzle of the artillery. And behind the battleship, there were drops of water that shook into the air and landed slowly.
Zhang Hao clapped his hands lightly, "It's finally quiet. Is there anyone who can make the decision? Come out with some representatives."
Until this time, finally a few people with extraordinary bearing came slowly.
The first person laughed from a distance: "Welcome new friends to Liuli Island."
Youdao is a person who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiling face, Zhang Hao cupped his hands: "My next Zhang Hao, I don't know how to call him?"
"Jinghong Gang, Liu Yu!"
The expression on Zhang Hao's face suddenly became more enthusiastic: "I heard that Senior Liu is from West Kunlun?"
"Yeah, that old guy Yuyangzi said it. This old guy is really fast."
Zhang Hao smiled, did not answer the question, but asked: "I wonder if senior knows Dongguo Mingyun?"
"Of course we know each other. The two of us often sit and talk."
"Senior Dong Guo is still a guest of Dayang Group.
About a month ago, I also participated in a joint operation of ours, went to the depths of the open sea, fought with five mirage dragons, seven shark dragons, and endless sea monsters, and killed all mirage dragons and shark dragons. And a large number of sea monsters.
By the way, we dispatched 14 steel warships in that battle. After the war, the corpses of monsters harvested piled up like a mountain. There was no place to store a large number of Jindan-level and a few Yuanying-level ocean monsters. s material.
In that battle, we gained at least one billion high-grade spirit stones! "
Zhang Hao quietly promoted his family's strength, and by the way, he also made a relationship.
Horror flashed in Liu Yu's eyes - fighting 12 'dragons' on the open sea, this ability is absolutely daunting!
In the past, ordinary practitioners (Hua Shen) encountered sea monsters in the open sea, especially this kind of group, and it was a problem to run away—on the sea, many times they couldn't escape. Countless sea monsters rushed out, and they were too many to kill!
For humans, there are good things in monsters; but for monsters, there are more good things in people!
So, the reason why this strange 'Ocean Group' was able to win was because of these steel warships? Although the Iron Battleship only attacked once just now, its power should not be underestimated.
The smile on Liu Yu's face became softer, "Xiaoyou Zhang, why did you come here this time?"
"Two goals!" Zhang Hao spoke crisply, "First, trade! Second, to explore the ruins. In contrast, trade is our top priority.
Dayang Group is a commercial group, and business communication is the foundation of our existence. In my opinion, there is a huge market on Liuli Island, which is why we are here. "
The tension on Liu Yu's face disappeared, and gradually became more natural, "Then I wonder what kind of products Dayang Group can provide?"
"A lot! Whatever you want, we can provide. If you don't have it this time, you will definitely bring it next time.
Thinking that Liuli Island is a place of bitter cold, so this time we brought a lot of Lingmi, vegetables, and fruits. In addition, we also brought a large number of general-purpose elixirs used in the Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Elixir Stage, as well as a few good elixirs.
In addition, we brought a large amount of spiritual materials, including black iron with a purity of over 98%, high-purity red copper, fine gold, etc.
Of course, there is also the indispensable... Lingshi. However, most of the spirit stones we bring are high-grade spirit stones, not many middle-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones. "
In fact, there are many low-grade spirit stones on the battleship, and the defense of the battleship mainly uses low-grade spirit stones. But to do business, of course we must pursue high profits.
On Liuli Island, the lowest cultivation level that Zhang Hao has seen so far is also in the late Golden Core stage, most of them are in the Nascent Soul stage. For a person with such a cultivation level, any random item on his body is worth a fortune.
Considering the environment of Liuli Island and the interior of the ruins, etc., Zhang Hao believes that what they have the most should include medicinal materials, precious ores, and treasures in some ruins.
In fact, many explorers (let’s call them that) should have a lot of good things. But because there is no market and they cannot meet their psychological expectations, most people will choose to store. And these are the goals of Dayang Group.
Since this Liuli Island has such a great reputation, and it is a world of monsters, plus the cultivators who have died here one after another over the years, the treasures here are definitely astronomical.
And the few people on the shore heard that Zhang Hao and others came here for business, and seemed to be holding a wait-and-see attitude towards exploring the ruins.
Zhang Hao also got to know the rest of the people. The deputy gang leaders of the five gangs came here one after another—but only the deputy gang leaders. It is said that the gang leaders are guarding the entrance of the ruins, or maybe they don’t bother to show up:
As for the Peak of Transformation God, it has almost stood at the pinnacle of the current world.
In contrast, the few who have surpassed the stage of transforming gods seem to be in retreat, and they look like they are going to live forever.
In addition to Yuyangzi from Xuehu Gang, Liu Yu from Jinghong Gang, Zhao Guang from Longquan Gang, Diao Yifeng from Changqing Gang, and Leng Qianxun from Feijiao Gang, Zhang Hao also knew each other one by one.
Then, Zhang Hao sent a meeting gift. When a newcomer arrives for the first time, they always have to pay homage to the top of the mountain; Dayang Group is here to do business, so this is particularly important.
Sometimes it doesn't matter whether the meeting gift is expensive or not, what matters is...whether you gave it or not.
Of course, the gifts that Zhang Hao brought out were not bad, 10 tons of spiritual rice, fruits and vegetables per person, plus 100 kilograms of high-purity black iron.
Lingmi, fruits and vegetables, etc. are lacking on Liuli Island, and these five big gangs have a great demand for these things.
There is also high-purity black iron. This time, the fleet brought only black iron with a purity of more than 98%. Even though the price of black iron has dropped a lot, the price of more than 98% black iron has not been reduced much.
Because of the technology that has been disclosed, it can only reach 98% at most. Therefore, the price of black iron with a purity of more than 98% is still high. It is impossible for Dayang Group to give up its own interests.
At present, the starting price of 98% black iron sold by Dayang Group is 10 middle-grade spirit stones (the previous price was 70 middle-grade spirit stones). The price is between 98% and 99% purity. A medium-grade spirit stone.
The black iron with a purity of 99% can be used to refine spirit treasures. The price starts with 10 high-grade spirit stones, and every time the purity increases, the price increases by five high-grade spirit stones.
At present, the large-scale production of this kind of high-purity black iron is still only the Dayang Group. Relying on the technology leaked by Dayang Group, other places may be able to continue refining and use traditional methods to purify high-purity black iron, but the price...is really not as good as buying Dayang Group.
In short, after getting the meeting gift from Zhang Hao, everyone began to get acquainted with each other. Zhang Hao said that he would build a port here. This port belongs to Dayang Group, but everyone can use it for free. The construction costs and maintenance costs are all provided by Dayang Group.
In addition, the five major gangs come to purchase, as long as it is a collective purchase, and the purchase volume is large enough, the price will be 10% off!
Of course everyone is happy. The masters here don't care about a port, etc. Anyway, here is a rocky beach. Now that Zhang Hao is on the road, everyone immediately said: This port belongs to the Dayang Group, and the five of us are insured.
So on the surface, things are settled. But Zhang Hao also knows very well that everyone is just talking about it verbally, so don't take it seriously. If something really happened, Dayang Group had to solve it by itself.
That is to say, the Dayang Group has not indicated which side to join; once the Dayang Group starts to explore the ruins and officially joins a certain side, troubles will inevitably follow.
However, Zhang Hao will also take advantage of this window period to gain a foothold on Liuli Island and search for relevant information to lay the foundation for Dayang Group's future development.
Zhang Hao stood on the shore, commanding the fleet to move. Now that it is determined to establish a port here, of course it is necessary to set up a base. Dayang Group decided to come up with a big one—Du Tian Lie Huo Zhen!
Dayang Group's recent coastal ports all need to use the Dutian Agni Array. There is no way, the ports of the Dayang Group are all in the open sea, and there is no need for the fire array to deter the sea monsters, and the safety of the ports cannot be guaranteed.
However, the scene of Dutian Lie's fiery array is very grand and magnificent.
Zhang Hao himself was shocked.
I still remember the first time I set up the Dutian Lie fire formation, but it was done in the Jindan period, with 12 formation foundations, and a radius of one kilometer.
But at this time, it was the Nascent Soul Stage attack, with 36 formation bases, and the formation was several times more complicated; covering a radius of ten kilometers.
Thirty-six eight-meter-long steel pillars were burning with blue-purple flames soaring into the sky, and the rolling heat waves directly melted the surrounding ice and snow. Standing on the shore, everyone can feel the power of the formation. I don't know how many people's faces have changed color.
This is a set of Lingbao-level super formation, and it is almost the peak of Lingbao!
Seeing the expressions of everyone around, Zhang Hao was very satisfied—this is what he wanted!
