Chapter 5093: Transforming the Battleship

Ye Xiaochuan's group of people are all top masters in cultivation, and their flying speed is naturally extremely fast.

In just two hours, they arrived at the Ancient Ten Thousand Fox Cave in Qilin Mountain.

Compared with when Ye Xiaochuan left a while ago, the Wanhu Ancient Cave is much cooler now.

More than 8,000 coffins in the valley have been buried, and the disciples from various sects gathered here have also left.

Long Tianshan knew that Ye Xiaochuan would come today, so he waited in the valley at the entrance of the cave early.

But when the seniors such as Chaihunsou came, Ye Xiaochuan was not among them.

After asking, I found out that not long after Ye Xiaochuan entered the Qilin Mountains, he left the army with Wangcai, saying that he was going to pick up Qin's concubine and Yuan Xiaolou, and also to receive a batch of supplies for the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness.

Long Tianshan was greatly surprised.

Ye Xiaochuan accepted the materials entering Wangqing Sea, which meant that he had already made arrangements and the materials were ready.

However, Long Tianshan did not know about this matter.

At this time, Long Tianshan realized that even though he was now in charge of Gui Xuan Sect, only Ye Xiaochuan and Wang Keke knew of many of Gui Xuan Sect's powers and channels, and he did not know these channels.

The place where Ye Xiaochuan received the supplies was in a town called Chenwu on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

You can tell at a glance that this name is named after a person.

The town is not big. Three miles south of the town is the wide waters of the Yangtze River, so there is a small port here.

Ye Xiaochuan was currently standing on a large five-tooth ship parked in the port. Accompanying him was a young man that no one could have imagined.

Yang twenty.

Yang Ershi is now a famous figure in the world. There are now more than three million porters and lipas working for the Yang family, and this is on land.

On the water all over the world, the Yang family also has sixteen large transport fleets, with a total of more than 3,000 large and small ships.

However, the Five-Toothed Ship is a warship. Just by looking at the Xian number, you can tell that the Five-Toothed Ship currently anchored at Chenwu Port belongs to the Dongting Navy.

Yang Ershi actually got a warship for Ye Xiaochuan.

This kind of five-toothed ship is a deep-sea long-distance warship with a length of over forty feet, a width of five feet, a draft of one foot, and can accommodate up to eight hundred soldiers.

There are many cabins inside, most of which are filled with various living supplies.

Ye Xiaochuan listened to Yang Ershi's introduction to the five-toothed ship. He suddenly remembered that when he and Baili Yuan went down the mountain for the first time, they used a bamboo raft to raft in the Yangtze River, and were killed by a five-toothed ship of the Dongting Navy. The ship was rammed and sunk. The captain on the ship made rude remarks, and the two of them built many battleships.

Ye Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Twenty, you are really good at everything. I asked you to help me build a bigger ship. How could you just build a warship for me?"

Yang Ershi said: "This is a warship under preparation for the Dongting Navy. It is a strictly controlled military material. How can I get it? His Royal Highness specially allocated it to you.

Fresh water and food have been packed in the cabin, enough to feed a hundred people for half a year.

Mr. Ye, can I ask you what you want this ship for?

Are you going to sea? "

Ye Xiaochuan said: "It's going to the sea, but it's not the sea on the ground, it's the sea of ​​forgetfulness underground.

This ship is a long-sea warship that relies on sails. Deep underground in the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness, the sails are probably not used. I have to modify this ship. "

Yang Ershi didn't understand Wang Qinghai, and he didn't want to understand either.

Now that we know what Ye Xiaochuan is using this ship for, that's enough.

Ye Xiaochuan used the magic sound mirror to contact Qin Guichen, told her where he was now, and asked her to come and meet Yuan Xiaolou.

After receiving Ye Xiaochuan's message, Qin Guichen and Yuan Xiaolou left Lantian County.

Ye Xiaochuan started his boring work.

He began to modify the battleship.

The sails were removed and a magic circle began to be carved on the hull.

The wind and waves of Wangqing Sea are definitely not as good as those of the deep sea on the surface, but there are definitely many unknown water monsters and sea monsters in the water. It is estimated that most of them are ancient giant monsters that have disappeared from the human world.

Ye Xiaochuan has experience in long-sea routes and knows that in the endless ocean, the landing place is the most important, so he arranged many defensive formations on this battleship to deal with the aquatic harassment of the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness.

In addition to defensive formations, wave-breaking formations, light spirit formations, etc. are also added.

The most important thing is that he added a brand new magic circle called the Chongling Zhen.

This is a simple magic circle he created inspired by muskets and artillery.

There are no strong winds on the surface of the Wangqing Sea. The ship is sailing, and it is such a big ship. It is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on human power and oars to move it.

So Ye Xiaochuan arranged ten energy-spraying arrays at the rear of the battleship.

Ten magic formations and more than a hundred formation eyes are all connected together using spiritual stones containing powerful spiritual power as power sources. When activated, these magic formations will spray a very powerful energy behind them.

Driven by this energy, ships no matter how big they are, can sail through the water without relying on sails.

At normal speed, you only need to activate three spirit-charging magic circles.

If all ten spirit-charging magic circles are activated, the speed of this ship will be faster than a thousand-mile horse.

During the few hours that Ye Xiaochuan was refitting the battleship, Yang Ershi was always by his side.

The two discussed a lot about sleeping together.

The main problem is the supply of food and grass for the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, as well as the supply of raw materials for black powder.

Now Yang Ershi can no longer secretly provide food, grass, sulfur, and saltpeter to southern Xinjiang as before.

After the appearance of black gunpowder on the battlefield in the Western Regions, the imperial court began to imitate black gunpowder in large quantities. Of course, it soon caught the smuggler Yang Ershi who had been secretly purchasing black gunpowder raw materials for the five tribes in southern Xinjiang for the past ten years.

Now saltpeter and sulfur have become important strategic materials, and they are no longer available in the private sector.

The dozens of mines acquired by the Yang family in recent years have also been supervised by the imperial court.

Now Yang Ershi can no longer provide the five tribes in southern Xinjiang with these raw materials for making black gunpowder as before.

He can only secretly intercept them and transport them to southern Xinjiang privately.

The food problem is also very serious.

With the occupation of the Liaobei Plain, the granary of the human world, by the heavens, food shortages are inevitable, and the imperial court has begun to tighten the outflow of food.

In addition, Yu Jizi has been using food to contain the five tribes in southern Xinjiang.

Now Yang Ershi can't even transport a grain of food.

Fortunately, the five tribes in southern Xinjiang have been actively preparing for war in recent years and have stockpiled some food. In the short term, the five tribes in southern Xinjiang will not face food shortages.

Ye Xiaochuan knew that Yang Ershi was under great pressure from the Cangyun Sect and the imperial court, and he could understand him very well.

Ye Xiaochuan did not want to implicate Yang Ershi, so he asked Yang Ershi to stop transporting supplies to Southern Xinjiang in the near future.

If Yu Jizi was really angered, the seemingly prosperous Yang family would collapse in an instant, and in that case, there would be a big problem with the supply of supplies in the rear of the human world.

However, Ye Xiaochuan still asked Yang Ershi to try his best to get a batch of weapons to Southern Xinjiang.

It would be best if they were all high-quality weapons transported from the Northern Xinjiang Arsenal.

Although the soldiers of the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang now have black gunpowder, the amount of black gunpowder is limited.

With the use of muskets and artillery on the battlefield in the future, the shortage of black gunpowder will become prominent.

Cold weapons are still the main theme of the future catastrophe.

The cold weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang are too simple, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang.

Yang Ershi did not refuse Ye Xiaochuan's request.

Although weapons are in urgent need in every battlefield, it is still possible to get hundreds of thousands of long swords and hundreds of thousands of bundles of iron feather arrows for Southern Xinjiang through His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At dusk, Yang Ershi left the port of Chenwu Town.

Not long after, Ye Xiaochuan also modified the warship.

When Ye Xiaochuan was about to test the propulsion system of the warship in the Yangtze River, Qin Guichen and Yuan Xiaolou came.

Also coming with them was the big-headed nightmare beast that was supposed to help the Tiannu Kingdom in Kunlun Mountain.
