    When the news came, Zhang Hao and Gundam were inspecting the new dock.  There are two newly expanded shipyards, both of which can produce 20,000-ton warships.  Of course, it can also produce 10,000-ton products.

    To use a professional term to explain it is: backward compatibility!

    The construction of the new dock has been completed, and the keels of two 10,000-ton warships have been laid.  During the period of construction of the shipyard, Dayang Group has completed the design of the "Full Spiritual Stone Driven Battleship".

    In fact, it is not that difficult to change the design. The reason why Zhang Hao said it seriously is that on the one hand he is trying to deceive Gauda Shang - how can he raise the price without deceiving him? On the other hand, it is also to prepare for his future technological development, which requires carefulness and seriousness.  point.

    Judging from the current situation, although the fuel cost of a battleship powered by spirit stones is more than two hundred times that of fuel, the endurance of spirit stone power is more than twenty times that of fuel!  More than twenty times, enough to circumnavigate the world.  And this is what Zhang Hao is thinking about recently.

    Gundam has ordered five steel warships at one time, including a 20,000-ton ship.

    After completing the design, the cost of the fully spiritual stone-driven battleship has also been revealed.

    For a 10,000-ton battleship, the base price of an ordinary battleship is 60 million high-grade spiritual stones; the cost of a spiritual stone battleship is as high as 70 million high-grade spiritual stones.

    ?????????????????????? 20,000-ton class, the base price of an ordinary battleship is 110 million high-grade spiritual stones; the price of a battleship driven by spiritual stones is as high as 130 million high-grade spiritual stones.

    The power output levels of the two are similar; however, the battleship powered by spirit stones has a simpler structure, which also reduces the cost of the hull.  This is one of the reasons why the price increase is not high.

    Another reason is that Dayang Group only uses ordinary spiritual stone-driven steam turbines.  Advanced ones are useless, of course you have to use the good ones yourself.

    After learning the final cost and finalizing the order for five battleships, Gundam was very excited.  Because the structure of the Lingshi battleship is relatively simple, Dayang Group guarantees that the five battleships will be built within three months.

    However, if a warship wants to be launched, a warship requires at least thirty people, and now there is obviously not enough manpower on Gundam's side.

    Considering that the return journey should not be peaceful.  To fully utilize the capabilities of a battleship, each battleship must have at least five hundred people.

    God Shang immediately sent people back to the Liang Dynasty. On the one hand, he notified His Majesty of the situation here, and on the other hand, he also asked the Liang Dynasty to send at least five thousand outstanding sailors.  The battleship always has to drive back, it is impossible to fly back.

    And, I need money.

    Although I prepared a lot of money before coming here, it was still not enough.  After a period of understanding, Gundam discovered that if he wanted to make good use of the battleship, he would also need to purchase artillery shell production lines, black iron production lines, etc. from Dayang Group.  A large amount of machinery and equipment also needs to be purchased.  These are not small changes.

    The Liang Dynasty is far away from the Kingdom of Qixia, and many things must be self-sufficient, otherwise the warships will be disposable items.

    So we still need Dayang Group to help train a group of maintenance engineers and so on - this all costs money, money, money!

    While Zhang Hao was discussing the future of warships with Gautama, news came from Dongfang and Surabaya Port.

    Zhang Hao was stunned for a while, then left Gundam behind and hurried to the port location, the temporary office of Dayang Group.  There were already many people waiting at this time.  Bai Yutang and others came here directly instead of waiting in Ninghe County.

    When Zhang Hao came in, Bai Yutang immediately stood up to greet him and directly told him what happened in Dongfang.

    "This happened at noon today. No one expected that the Xiaoyao Sect would launch an attack at noon. The Xiaoyao Sect actually dispatched 12 10,000-ton Xuantie battleships in one go. The Xuanzhen Sect was not prepared.  Next, bombarded the port of Surabaya.

    According to the current information, all the warships in the Surabaya Port were sunk; and the naval officers in the Surabaya Port and the Weihai Fleet also suffered heavy casualties.

    After the Xiaoyao faction bombarded the port, a landing battle ensued.  Surabaya Port is now in ruins!  "

    Zhang Hao took a breath of air and turned to look at the map that had just been hung on the wall. A lot of new information was marked on the map.  The most important of these is the Port of Surabaya.

    Since the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan jointly defeated the Kingdom of Langya, the two countries have divided the Kingdom of Langya.  But the port of Surabaya, located in the center of the area divided between the two countries, was given to the Xuanzhen Sect.  In this way, the disputes between the two countries can also be isolated, and Xuanzhen Sect also obtained an excellent port.

    It can be said that everything is so perfect!

    After the Xuanzhen Sect reorganized the Surabaya Port, the Weihai Fleet moved to the Surabaya Port.  How can the Xuanzhen Sect, a dignified holy land, always use the port of Dayang Group??

    But this perfection was broken at noon today!  No one expected that the Xiaoyao faction would choose a sneak attack at noon and destroy the entire Weihai fleet in one go!  The later landing battle caused heavy losses to the Xuanzhen Sect's navy officers and others, and the entire army was nearly wiped out.

    After reading the report, Zhang Hao sighed and said solemnly: "The Xuanzhen Sect is going crazy. The resources invested by the Weihai Fleet are beyond imagination. The number of Nascent Soul Stage quotas promised to us is as high as 4,400!

    The ammunition and various items purchased from us before and after have exceeded hundreds of millions of spiritual stones.

    Seeing that the fleet was starting to make a profit, it was killed in one fell swoop, and even many sailors were killed.

    The Xuanzhen Sect can never bear it!  "

    Bai Yutang also nodded, "Yes. A war will inevitably break out next! There is no doubt about this. What we want to discuss now is, what should Dayang Group do in this war?"

    Zhang Hao shook his head with a wry smile: "Is there any choice? We can only stand on the side of the Xuanzhen Sect and attack the Xiaoyao Sect together. And now we are very likely to face the following problems:

    First, the Xiaoyao faction¡¯s fleet is likely to continue sneak attacks.  The country of Canglan is close, so we should be prepared; then the Xiaoyao faction's fleet is very likely to sneak attack on us and Black Scale Island.  Dayang Group must be prepared!

    Second, the Xuanzhen Sect¡¯s strength now only has four fleets left.  Our Atlantic Fleet and Arctic Ocean Fleet, the Pearl Fleet of the Kingdom of Qixia, and the Thunder Fleet of the Kingdom of Canglan.

    The Thunder Fleet only consists of three old ships and can almost be ignored.

    If the prediction is good, the Xuanzhen Sect will send people in one or two days at the latest to let our fleet set off to attack and blockade the Xiaoyao Sect's maritime power.  That will be an unprecedented battle!  "

    Everyone was silent for a long time.  Dugu Junjie spoke: "If this is the case, we will use torpedoes. Torpedoes attack warships from below the sea surface, and the success rate is higher. Moreover, ordinary black iron warships cannot withstand the force of the explosion under the sea surface. Even steel warships cannot.  bear!"

    Zhang Hao nodded: "This is what I want to discuss today. What I mean is try to use torpedoes as little as possible! This time, I hope that the fleet can fight the opponent openly.

    Now that we have maintained a sufficient advantage, in this case we should seize the opportunity and try to train our troops.  "

    Dugu Junjie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.  "We really should train our troops. Then I'll notify you and let everyone get ready."

    ¡°It¡¯s not just training, but also testing weapons!¡± Zhang Hao added, ¡°This is also an opportunity to experiment with various weapons and tactics. It¡¯s also an opportunity to become famous.

    This time, we need to establish our reputation, and we need to try our best to try out various tactics that have been discussed before, so as to increase our foundation.  And take this opportunity to train and promote a group of outstanding naval generals.  Lay the foundation for our future development.  "

    "I understand." Dugu Junjie nodded.

    Then Zhang Hao looked at everyone: "Everyone, I think that in addition to wars at sea, our Ocean Group cannot avoid wars on land. We cannot rule out the possibility that Xuanzhen Religion wants us to also send land legions. The worst, the worst, always  We need to provide land transportation of materials. This will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the Xiaoyao faction.

    This time, the scale of the war will be difficult to control.

    Everyone should be prepared, maybe this will be a world war!

    Between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, dozens of countries will be involved in the war.  "

    Dugu Junjie suddenly said: "The scale of this war may also include the Tuotu Continent. The Tuotu Continent, the struggle between the Holy Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect also involves us. I am worried that the scope of the later war will not be limited to the Fatty Continent.  Earth Continent!¡±

    As soon as Dugu Junjie finished speaking, everyone's expressions instantly became serious.

    Everyone¡¯s eyebrows jumped wildly.  A war pattern beyond imagination appeared in front of everyone.  Thisis an unprecedented war pattern!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
