Chapter 421 Chapter 420 The Prelude to the Great Voyage

The development of the Dayang Group and Qixia Country, especially this bumper harvest, stimulated Nangongzhi a bit.

Nangong Zhi pointed to the map, or the nautical chart and said loudly: "Everyone, time is waiting! This time I went to Dayang Group, do you know what I saw?

In the dock, Dayang Group is building 10 warships at the same time!

At the same time, ten ships! Five 10,000-ton ships and five 20,000-ton ships. To be exact, there are five 15,000-ton and five 25,000-ton warships.

Among these ten warships, there are two Iron Duke class warships and one Zhenyuan class warship, that is, a 20,000-ton warship, belonging to Xuanzhen Sect.

Xuanzhenjiao traded ten Iron Duke-class warships with Dayang Group. This time they converted two of the Iron Dukes into a Zhenyuan-class warship.

There is also an Iron Duke class and a Zhenyuan class belonging to the country of Qixia.

The remaining two Iron Duke class ships and three Zhenyuan class ships belong to Dayang Group itself. "

"In other words, after about a month, the most important fleet at sea will be:

First, the Oceanic Fleet of the Ocean Group has four Zhenyuan-class ships and six Iron Duke-class ships.

Second, Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet has one Zhenyuan class and seven Iron Duke class ships.

Thirdly, the Pearl Fleet of Qixia Kingdom, one Zhenyuan class and four Iron Duke class ships.

Fourth, the Thunder Fleet of the Land of Canglan, three Iron Duke class ships, plus a large number of warships.

Fifth, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Land of Langya, two Iron Duke class ships, plus a large number of warships.

In addition, it is rumored that the kingdom of Langya has mastered the basic technology of making black iron warships. And because the black iron technology has spread now, the technical threshold is much lower.

It can be foreseen that in the future, all seaside countries will enter an unprecedented era of great navigation!

The prospect of the era of great voyages can be seen through Dayang Group: the net profit of a single voyage of a ship is as high as tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones. Although the price of each ship is as high as 60 million or more high-grade spirit stones, it only takes a few sailings to pay back the cost in half a year, or at most a year!

And the profitability of one boat and one voyage exceeds the total annual tax revenue of the whole country! "

The generals' breathing became short and jealous. This is not only related to the future of the country, but also to their own interests. Since the economic unification began to take effect, and since Zhang Hao brought a new social system, these generals and officials know that their future needs to be in business.

But now, what could be better than sailing!

Then, everyone's eyes shifted to the south of the map of Fertility Continent. There is the country of Langya!

Although the current Langya Kingdom has a sea fleet, its land power has been weakened to the limit! And the best direction for the Kingdom of Shaoze to break through is the Kingdom of Langya.

The country of Langya has a coastline of six thousand miles. This made everyone in the Kingdom of Shaoze greedy!

Fang Rong suddenly said: "General, how about we unite with the Canglan Kingdom? We don't need much, as long as we can get one-third of the territory of the Langya Kingdom. Of course, it would be better if there were more.

Both us and the Kingdom of Canglan belong to the category of Xuanzhen Sect; and the Kingdom of Langya has now turned to the Xiaoyao Sect.

We unite to attack the Land of Langya, and we can pull out the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect behind our backs. In this way, we can fight with confidence. The battle of masters is carried by Xuanzhen Sect.

Moreover, we can negotiate with Xuanzhen Sect to leave a port for Xuanzhen Sect after occupying the country of Langya. As for the Sishui Port in the middle, this is the first port in the Kingdom of Langya, and it is in the center, just for the Xuanzhen Sect. "

Nangong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened, "But there is one problem, we are waiting to do everything right now, if we continue to fight..."

"General, we are exhausted, but the Kingdom of Langya is even more exhausted. And there is another point, the Kingdom of Langya has a strong heritage, if we develop, the Kingdom of Langya will definitely develop. It will be difficult then!

Now that the era of great navigation has begun to emerge, we cannot stay on land! General, at this time, we must seize the tail of the times and develop towards the sea!

As for the domestic decline, it is very simple. This time the Southern Expedition...do not seal the sword after breaking the city! Support war with war! Use the wealth of Langya Kingdom to reward warriors! "

At the end, Fang Rong's eyes flashed coldly.

Nangong Zhi tapped the table with his fingers, and nodded slowly after thinking for a long time, "Fang Rong, you are going to the Land of Canglan immediately! The first goal is to cooperate, send troops, and obtain the land and coastline of the Land of Langya.

I personally went to visit Xuanzhen Sect.

The country of Shaoze has been unified, and it is necessary to know Xuanzhen Sect both emotionally and rationally. Please Xuanzhen teach to recognize our country. "

…………

At the same time, in the Kingdom of Langya, the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Langya are also discussing the great voyage.

The success of Dayang Group and the splendor of the Qixia Kingdom undoubtedly hurt the Langya Kingdom.

At this time, the land in the north of the country of Langya was occupied by the country of Shaoze for 800 miles, and the land in the west was occupied by the country of Canglan for another 1,000 miles.

Under such circumstances, the success of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom undoubtedly made Langya Kingdom, which has always relied on the sea, feel the breath of an era.

An unprecedented, super great age of exploration.

In the court hall, Zong Bi, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Langya, is analyzing: "Nowadays, there is the theory of the circle of the earth, and then there are steel warships and great navigation. The success of the Dayang Group and the Kingdom of Qixia, as well as the participation of the Xuanzhen Sect, are undoubtedly releasing a signal:

A new era, a new era of great exploration, has emerged.

The first great voyage was about 30,000 years ago, and the seven continents on the earth were connected with each other, and the present world has been formed since then.

After a lapse of 30,000 years, a new era of great navigation has come again.

This time, we use the steel battleship as the carrier to pierce the open sea. The victory of the joint fleet of Dayang Group, Qixia Kingdom, and Xuanzhen Sect is an important symbol.

With the support of steel battleships, even powerful sea monsters and dangerous open seas cannot stop us from moving forward. "

"The only problem now is: the one who launched this great voyage is our enemy! Although we have some connections with the Dayang Group, this connection is very fragile, and the Dayang Group can turn against each other at any time. But we... are not qualified to turn against each other. .

Your Majesty, and everyone, this is a very dangerous signal. "

The emperor of the Kingdom of Langya slowly stood up, took several deep breaths, and then slowly turned his head to ask the Maritime Governor next to him: "Lin Qian, how is our research on the 'Black Iron Battleship' going?"

"Your Majesty, we are trial-manufacturing a 5,000-ton black iron warship. We basically have a thorough understanding of the technical information purchased from Dayang Group. Even the steam turbine, we have successfully copied it, and the effect is very good.

The steam turbines we are making now can already reach the output power of 0.3 Nascent Soul, which is still far from Dayang Group's technology. But I believe we will catch up soon. "

The emperor asked: "How much is the steam turbine power of Dayang Group?"

"A single-seat steam turbine is equivalent to the power of 1.5 Nascent Souls at the beginning."

The emperor frowned, but still nodded slightly: "Yes, keep working hard, today's Dayang Group is not achieved overnight.

Build the first successful black iron battleship as soon as possible. This is not only the domestic expectation, but also the expectation of the peripatetic faction.

Tell all the craftsmen that as long as the sea trial is successful, each person will be rewarded with at least 1,000 top-grade spirit stones, a baron title, and a hundred hectares of fertile land! Hereditary does not replace! "

This is a big reward! But you can also see the anxiety in the emperor's heart.

Compared with the country of Canglan, the damaged steel warships of the country of Langya can only be repaired by themselves - buying steel from Dayang Group is too expensive, so that there are several damaged parts of the warships of the country of Langya, which can only be repaired. Repair with dark iron. Strength, of course, is far from enough.

Now, relying on two steel warships to contend against the three steel warships of the Canglan Kingdom, the Langya Kingdom is struggling. In particular, the steel warships of the Kingdom of Langya were originally 'unfinished'. In the superstructure, there are not only rooms, etc., but also some simple aiming devices.

The rush of the Xiaoyao faction's procurement at the beginning, coupled with the deliberate efforts of the Dayang Group, caused these gaps.

Don't look at a simple aiming device, but it is very important. At least, the hit rate can be increased by more than three times, which virtually increases the attack density and combat effectiveness.

The kingdom of Langya is still discussing, but they don't know that a catastrophe is about to come.
