    The development of Dayang Group and the Country of Qixia, especially this harvest, has stimulated Nangong Zhi a bit.

    Nangong Zhi pointed to the map or navigation chart and said loudly: "Everyone, time waits for no time! 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 precise, there are five 15,000-ton warships and five 25,000-ton warships.

    Among these ten battleships, there are two Iron Duke-class and one Zhenyuan-class, which is a 20,000-ton battleship, belonging to the Xuanzhen Sect.

    Xuanzhen Sect originally traded ten Iron Duke-class battleships with Dayang Group.  This time they converted two of the Iron Duke-class ships into one Zhenyuan-class battleship.

    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.  "

    "That is to say, about a month later, the main fleets at sea will be:

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

    Second, the Xuanzhen Sect¡¯s Weihai Fleet consists of one Zhenyuan-class ship and seven Iron Duke-class ships.

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

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

    Fifth, Langya Kingdom¡¯s Sea Dragon Fleet, two Iron Duke-class ships, plus a large number of warships.

    In addition, it is said that Langya Kingdom has mastered the basic production technology of black iron battleships.  And because 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 prospects of the Age of Navigation can be seen through Dayang Group: the net profit of a ship on one voyage can reach tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones.  Although each boat sells for as much as 60 million or more high-grade spiritual stones, it only takes a few voyages to make back the money in half a year, or at most a year!

    And the profitability of one ship and one trip to sea actually exceeds the total tax revenue of the entire country!  "

    The generals' breathing became rapid and their eyes turned red.  This is not only related to the future of the country, but also related to their own interests - ever since the economic unification came into effect and since Zhang Hao brought a new social system, these generals and officials knew that they needed to do business in the future.

    But now, what could be better than sailing!

    Then, everyone¡¯s attention shifted to the south of the Fertile Continent map.  There is the country of Langya!

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

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

    Fang Rong suddenly said: "General, how about we unite with the Canglan Country? We don't need too much, as long as we can get one-third of the Langya Country's territory. Of course, more is better.

    We and the Canglan Kingdom both belong to the Xuanzhen Sect; and the Langya Kingdom has now surrendered to the Xiaoyao Sect.

    "We unite to attack Langya Kingdom, and we can pull out Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect behind our backs.  In this way, we can fight with confidence.  The battle on the master side is carried out by the Xuanzhen Sect.

    ¡°And we can negotiate with the Xuanzhen Sect and leave a port for the Xuanzhen Sect after occupying the Langya Kingdom.  As for the Sishui Port in the middle, it is the first port in Langya Kingdom and is located in the center, which is suitable for Xuanzhen Sect.  "

    Nangong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened, "But there is a problem. We are waiting for everything to be done now. If we continue to fight"

    "General, we are tired, but the Country of Langya is even more tired. And one more thing, the Country of Langya has a strong foundation. If we wait for us to develop, the Country of Langya will also develop. It will be difficult then!

    Now that the Age of Discovery has begun to take shape, we cannot be trapped on land!  General, you must seize the tail of the times at this time and develop towards the sea!

    As for the domestic decline, it is very simple.  This time during the Southern Expeditionthe sword will not be sealed after the city is broken!  Fight to feed war!  Use the wealth of the Langya Kingdom to reward the warriors!  "

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

    Nangong Zhi tapped his fingers on the table, thinking for a long time before slowly nodding, "Fang Rong, you immediately go to the Canglan Country as envoy! With cooperation, sending troops, and obtaining the land and coastline of the Langya Country as your first goal.

    ?I went to visit Xuanzhen Sect in person.

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

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

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

    The success of Dayang Group and the glory of Qixia Kingdom undoubtedly stung the Langya Kingdom.

    At this time, eight hundred miles of the northern territory of the Langya Kingdom were occupied by the Shaoze Kingdom, and another thousand miles of the western territory were occupied by the Canglan Kingdom. The territory shrank by one-third, and the entire country was already showing some signs of danger.

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

    An unprecedented and super era of great navigation.

    In the court, Zong Bi, the prime minister of the Langya Kingdom, was analyzing: "Nowadays, first there is the theory of a round earth, and then there are steel battleships and great navigation. The success of the Dayang Group and the Qixia Kingdom, as well as the participation of the Xuanzhen Sect, are undoubtedly releasing  A signal:

    A new era, a new age of navigation, has emerged.

    The first great voyage took place about 30,000 years ago, and the seven continents on the earth were connected with each other, and the present world came into being.

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

    This time, we use steel battleships as carriers to penetrate the open sea.  The victory of the combined fleet of Dayang Group, Qixia Kingdom, and Xuanzhen Sect is an important symbol.

    With the assistance of steel battleships, even powerful ocean monsters and dangerous outer seas cannot stop our progress.  "

    "The only problem now is: the one who initiated this big voyage is our enemy! Although we have some connections with the Ocean Group now, this connection is very fragile. The Ocean Group can fall out at any time. But we are not qualified to fall out.  .

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

    The Emperor of Langya Country stood up slowly, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly turned his head and asked the Maritime Governor next to him: "Lin Qian, how is the research on our 'Dark Iron Battleship' going?"

    "Your Majesty, we are trial-producing a five-thousand-ton black iron battleship. We have basically understood the technical information purchased from Dayang Group. We have also successfully copied the steam turbine, and the effect is very good.

    The steam turbine we are currently producing can already reach the output power of 0.3 Yuanying in its early stage, but there is still some gap between it and Dayang Group¡¯s technology.  But I believe we will catch up soon.  "

    The emperor asked: "What is the power of Dayang Group's steam turbine?"

    "A single-seat steam turbine is equivalent to the power of 1.5 Yuan Ying's early stages."

    The emperor frowned, but still nodded slightly: "Yes, keep working hard, Dayang Group's success today will not be 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 Xiaoyao faction.

    Tell all the craftsmen that as long as the sea trial is successful, each person will be rewarded with at least 1,000 high-grade spiritual stones, a baron, and a hundred hectares of fertile land!  Hereditary disregard!  "

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

    Compared with the Canglan Kingdom, the Langya Kingdom's damaged steel battleships can only be repaired by oneself - purchasing steel from Dayang Group is too expensive, so that several damaged parts of the Langya Kingdom's battleships can only be repaired.  Repair with black iron.  Strength is naturally far from enough.

    Now, relying on two steel warships to compete with the three steel warships of the Canglan Kingdom, the Langya Kingdom is very struggling.  In particular, the steel battleships of Langya Kingdom were originally ¡®unfinished¡¯.  In the superstructure, there are not only rooms, etc., but also some simple aiming devices.

    The rush of Xiaoyao Sect¡¯s purchase and the intentional actions of Dayang Group resulted in these gaps.

    Don¡¯t look at a simple aiming device, but it is crucial.  At least, it can increase the hit rate by more than three times, which virtually increases the attack density and combat effectiveness.

    The country of Langya is still discussing, but they don¡¯t know that a catastrophe is about to come.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
