Ye Xiaochuan and his group are all top masters in cultivation, so their flying speed is naturally extremely fast.
In just two hours, they arrived at the Ancient Wanhu 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, he 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 about many of Gui Xuan Sect's powers and channels, and he was not aware of 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-toothed 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 libaba 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 Wuya big ship is a warship. Just by looking at the Xian number, you can tell that the Wuya big ship currently anchored in Chenwu Port belongs to the Dongting Navy.
Yang Ershi actually got a warship for Ye Xiaochuan.
This kind of five-tooth warship is a deep-sea voyage 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 bamboo rafts 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 smart. I asked you to help me build a larger ship. How could you just build a warship for me?"
Yang Ershi said: "This is a warship in 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, may I ask 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 battleship that relies on sails. Deep underground in the Sea of Forgetfulness, the sails are probably not used. I have to remodel this ship."
Yang Ershi didn't understand Wangqinghai, 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 his current location, 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 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 the 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 intrusion in 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 Spirit-Charging Formation.
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. It is obviously unrealistic to sail such a large ship solely by manpower and oars.
So Ye Xiaochuan arranged ten magic arrays that sprayed energy 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 the power source. 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 in the water without relying on sails.
At normal speed, you only need to activate three spirit-charging magic circles.
If all ten spiritual formations 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 black powder appeared on the battlefields of the Western Regions, the imperial court began to imitate black powder in large quantities. Of course, they soon caught the smuggler Yang Shishi who had been secretly purchasing black powder raw materials for the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang for the past ten years.
Nowadays, saltpeter and sulfur have become important strategic materials and are no longer available to the public.
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 raw materials for making black powder to the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang as before.
We can only intercept it secretly and transport it privately to southern Xinjiang.
The food problem is also very serious.
As the Liaobei Plain, the granary of the human world, was occupied by the heavens, food shortages were inevitable, and the imperial court began to tighten restrictions on food outflows.
In addition, Yujizi has been using food to contain the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang.
Now Yang Ershi can't even transport a grain of food.
Fortunately, the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have been actively preparing for war in recent years and have hoarded some food. In a short period of time, the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang will not suffer from food shortages.
Ye Xiaochuan knew that Yang Ershi was under great pressure from Cangyun Sect and the court, and he could understand him very well.
Ye Xiaochuan did not want to implicate Yang Ershi, so he asked Yang Ershi to suspend the delivery of supplies to southern Xinjiang in the near future.
If Yu Jizi is really angered, the Yang family, which seems to have infinite glory, will fall apart in an instant. In that case, there will be a big problem in the supply of materials in the rear of the world.
However, Ye Xiaochuan still asked Yang Ershi to try his best to get a batch of weapons to southern Xinjiang.
It is best to use high-quality weapons transported from the northern Xinjiang arsenal.
Although soldiers of the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang now have black powder with them, the amount of black powder is limited.
As muskets and artillery are used on the battlefield in the future, the shortage of black powder 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 ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang are too crude, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang.
Yang Ershi did not refuse Ye Xiaochuan's request.
Although every battlefield is in urgent need of weapons now, it is still possible to obtain a million long knives and hundreds of thousands of bundles of iron-feathered arrows for Southern Xinjiang through His Highness the Crown Prince.
At dusk, Yang Ershi left the port of Chenwuzhen.
Not long after, Ye Xiaochuan also modified the battleship.
When Ye Xiaochuan was preparing to test the battleship's propulsion system in the Yangtze River, Qin Guichen and Yuan Xiaolou came.
Also coming with him was the big-headed nightmare beast that was supposed to be helping the Heavenly Lady Kingdom in the Kunlun Mountains.
