With the votes promised by Zhao Ran in hand, Huang Bingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but he still could not guarantee that he would secure the position. Zhao Ran asked: "When will it be announced?"
Huang Bingyue said: "Maybe in a month, or later."
Zhao Ran asked again: "What are your plans next?"
"Those who can visit me have already paid me a visit before, and then I can only wait."
"Disciple has an idea, do you think it is appropriate?"
"As long as you and I are commensurate, what is Junior Brother Zhao's idea?"
Zhao Ran handed over his hand: "Then I'm overstepping what I said to Senior Brother Huang. If Senior Brother has no special mission, why don't you come with me to Yuanjue Island to perform your duties? It's only for a month."
Huang Bingyue understood: "Speaking of which, it's my fault. As the general consultant of the joint meeting, I haven't seen it in person. It's really wrong. It's okay. I will go to Yuanjue Island this month. If I have time, I will go to Luoye Island.
Pay a visit to Tianshi Chen, who is also an elder I have respected for a long time."
With Huang Bingyue bringing the white jade golden-billed crane, the flying instrument of Helin Pavilion, the two of them arrived at Yuanjue Island in half a day.
The island is very busy, with countless warships and container ships. Groups of sergeants, sailors, and monks shuttle back and forth on the island, which makes it look extremely prosperous.
Zhao Ran said: “Last spring, when the army occupied Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island, it was very deserted. However, since arriving at Luoye Island in the summer, the blockade island chain has basically taken shape, and Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island have become prosperous again.
Many supplies for the fleet no longer need to be transported from the mainland. The Ming Dynasty merchants and sea travelers from the South China Sea and further west all smelled the business opportunities brought by the war and swarmed in with their goods. This is what it looks like now.
"
Huang Bingyue watched as he walked and kept nodding: "Zhiran is indeed a capable person in governing the world. He can bring a new atmosphere wherever he goes. I see that there are many red-haired and high-nosed ghosts on the island, all from the far west.
Land? They also believe in Taoism?"
Zhao Ran said: "A few believe it, but most don't believe it. They have their own beliefs that are incompatible with us, but their profit-seeking nature in doing business is the same. We are now also learning about the situation in the Far West through these ghosts.
These things have to be done slowly.”
The inspection fleet headquarters has moved forward to Luoye Island, which is now the baggage transfer headquarters. Lu Xixing had just escorted the convoy back and came here to meet him after getting the news.
Huang Bingyue praised Lu Xixing very much, and the three of them started discussing secretly in the headquarters.
Zhao Ran invited Huang Bingyue to Yuanjue Island not as a formality, but because he sincerely caught up with the upcoming war and allowed Huang Bingyue to actually participate in the war and achieve great achievements in the war.
Lu Xixing pointed to the chart and said: "According to the latest news, the pirate fleet is concentrating here, preparing to harass our transshipment line on a large scale again."
The place he was pointing to was Zhongkui Island.
Huang Bingyue asked: "Is this news accurate?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Our people have boarded the communication transfer ship for the pirates. All the news is the most up-to-date. Don't worry, Mr. Huang."
Lu Xixing took out a picture: "Not only did we find out where they gathered, but also their specific number. There were 823 large and small ships in total, including a turtle-shell ship that can swim underwater."
Huang Bingyue asked: "Turtle-shell ship? Can it swim underwater? Does it have a style?"
Lu Xixing took out a sketch and handed it to Huang Bingyue. Huang Bingyue looked at the sketch and frowned: "This kind of ship... If we don't know about it, we will definitely suffer a big loss, but now that we know it, it won't be difficult to deal with... Use it
Are you going to move forward with a hand paddle? I'm afraid you won't be able to run. It's just a turtle speed, which is exactly what it's called."
Zhao Ran and Lu Xixing both laughed. Zhao Ran said: "Huang Zhenren is worthy of being an expert in combat. He can tell it at a glance. Yes, the underwater speed of this kind of ship is very low, and it cannot dive deep. As long as it is discovered, it will be hit immediately."
Huang Bingyue asked: "Looking at how confident you two are, you must have found a solution?"
Lu Xixing said: "This is the idea that Zhiran came up with. The turtle-shell ship may not be visible from the warship, but looking down from the air, the dark shadow of the ship's hull underwater is very obvious and can be spotted at a glance."
Huang Bingyue thought for a while, nodded and said: "As expected."
Lu Xixing added: "Following this line of thought, there are two ways to attack the turtle ship. The simplest is the thunder talisman bomb. Put a thunder talisman in a wooden box full of iron nails, throw it into the sea, and explode it.
Turtle-shell ship. Another way is to send monks into the sea and dig directly through it."
Huang Bingyue nodded: "Good idea, I personally prefer to use thunder talisman... thunder talisman bomb? What is this?"
Lu Xixing said: "It is a kind of thunder talisman that is activated at a fixed depth. Because the distance is too far, and because of the water depth, the success rate of the thunder talisman detonating the iron nail wooden box after entering the water is very low, so Junshan Technology improved the thunder talisman.
A time-delay text was added to the article, and after precise and extensive experiments, it was realized that the thunder rune bombs can be thrown at a height of fifty feet, explode when they enter the water, detonate when they enter the water, detonate at three feet, detonate at five feet, and detonate at eight feet."
At this time, Huang Bingyue was a little shocked: "The Taoist strength of Junshan Technology is so bad?"
Zhao Ran said humbly: "It's just accumulated over more than ten years."
Huang Bingyue said: "If we want to reward them, we can't treat them badly."
Zhao Ran said: "Don't worry, they have all been awarded titles. In the future, it is up to them to choose whether to seal an island in the East China Sea or to seal a land in the Hengduan Mountains. In fact, in my opinion, these extraneous things are not the best rewards. They can be carefree.
Conducting research on Taoism is what they value most. I used to say that there are thousands of ways, and I choose one. For them, finding the right way to practice and improving their cultivation is the most important thing.
.”
Huang Bingyue asked: "Have they been promoted?"
Zhao Ran said: "The main research and development monks have gained something: Master Cai - Master Cai Yunshen broke through the realm of master training last year. After Master Guo Zhiwei successfully developed the thunder talisman ten days ago, he went into seclusion on the spot to attack the realm of master training. His qualifications were not enough.
The high-ranking Long Qingwei also broke through the golden elixir in May last year. The other seventeen auxiliary monks have also improved in the past two years, the highest being the five Huang Guan. They all started from a low level, and now they are still
I can’t tell that when their cultivation level increases in the future, practicing in Junshan Science and Technology will be the most important means for them to improve their cultivation level.”
Huang Bingyue nodded repeatedly and kept saying "That's good, that's good", and finally said: "You just said that our people have boarded the pirate liaison transfer ship. They are in deep danger. In the future
You can’t treat him unfairly, and you should also consider rewards.”
Zhao Ran said: "With your words, no matter how big the risk they take, it will be worth it."
Huang Bingyue sighed: "Such people have made the greatest sacrifices. How many people have narrowly escaped death!"
Huang Zhenren's emotion was also checked by Qianxun Taoist thousands of miles away. After a series of sneezes, Chen Miuzhu took out a bottle of black ginseng pills and handed it to her: "I told you not to get into the water yesterday, did you catch a cold?
Take two pills quickly."
ps: Today is Taoist Taoist’s birthday, which may be hopeless. Taoist Master Linghu issued a talisman to send blessings to Taoist Taoist on his birthday. Master Ba Bao Taoist accepted the edict and wished Taoist Taoist a happy birthday, smooth work, and successful practice.
