"Li Yang, do you still remember what happened when I was able to log into the island in the middle of the lake?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"I just want to say that the mutant beasts in the water are no worse than those on land, and they are even stronger."
After Fang Fan finished speaking, he turned to look at Sun Ce.
"am I right?"
"Yes, my lord is right."
Sun Ce nodded.
"The Yangtze River was originally wide, but it deepened and widened after the great changes in the world.
You can't even see the other side of the Yangtze River now. It's like the Milky Way stretching across the river in front of you. It's simply wider than the previous lakes.
The living space in the water is three-dimensional, with mutant beasts living in the shallow, middle and low layers.
Upper, middle, and lower form a three-dimensional living space in such a huge body of water, in which countless mutant beasts exist.
There are many strong ones among these water beasts. What is even more exaggerated is that because they live in water, these water beasts are often very large, far exceeding the mutant beasts on the ground.
The huge size and tyrannical strength are simply overwhelming, and it is simply more difficult for our ships to sail on the water than to reach the sky."
"Then kill them until they become frightened."
Li Yang puzzled, he always kills mutant beasts. As long as you are surrounded by enough death aura, the mutant beasts will regard you as a strong person and a dangerous person. If you seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they will naturally not
Will continue to come to die.
"The mutant beasts on land are naturally easy to kill, but the huge water beasts in the water?"
Sun Ce shook his head and continued.
"Although our soldiers have been familiar with water since childhood and are good at surface warfare.
But this skill has to be compared with other soldiers, and water fighting with water beasts living in the water?
That is simply a joke. In the home field of water beasts, if we want to take the initiative to hunt for love, we often have to pay several times or dozens of times the price.
And even after killing one round, the pervasive smell of blood will attract new water beasts, killing them endlessly."
"So shipping is simply not possible now."
"Then is there a way to solve it? Although this water beast is difficult to deal with, I think it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Fang Fan suddenly asked.
"You can't be suffocated to death by a bunch of water beasts."
"My lord is wise, I was just about to say something."
Sun Ce said seriously.
“There is no breath left in the water, and whatever breath is there will be washed away by the steady stream of water.
And those water beasts cannot be killed. The Yangtze River is such a huge water system. Even if we kill all the water beasts in this section, water beasts from other places will migrate over one day later. Nothing can change this.
And as soon as a ship passes by on the water, those water beasts will attack and destroy the ship as if they have been provoked."
"But after our research, this problem is not unsolvable. In the end, this solution fell on the ship."
"Tell me in detail."
"No matter how many water animals we kill, we can't deter other water animals, and creatures on land can't deter them either.
However, all things interact with each other, and water animals cannot be fearless. Based on this, we observed and studied water animals and found out.
There is a creature that can have a very good deterrent effect on water animals."
"What?"
"Jiaolong, or a powerful water beast carrying rich dragon blood.
Dragon is said to be in charge of water veins. I don't know if this legend is true or false.
But in reality, dragons can indeed deter these water beasts.
But ordinary level dragons are not good enough. The level is too low, the bloodline concentration is not enough, and the strength is not enough.
After our speculation, if we can hunt down an innate-level dragon and use its spine as the keel to build a dragon ship, we can use the dragon ship as a flagship to shelter an entire fleet and sail long distances."
"Innate-level dragon?"
Li Yang exclaimed.
"Yes."
When Fang Fan heard this, his expression didn't change much, he just narrowed his eyes and thought about it.
"Although the innate dragon is difficult to hunt, it is not impossible to hunt. Anyway, the dragon clan and I are mortal enemies, so I am not afraid of offending them."
After saying this, Fang Fan paused slightly and continued.
"But preparing to hunt the dragon is always a big project and very expensive. It is impossible for me to hunt down the innate dragon just because of a piece of speculation."
Sun Ce's expression was solemn, and he didn't show any strange expression. He just nodded.
"But what if there is evidence?"
Fang Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Ce.
"Then I wouldn't mind trying the dragon liver."
"My lord, Sun Ce would like to dedicate this treasure to my lord."
Sun Ce suddenly held a roll of animal skin in his hands and presented it to Fang Fan.
Longxiang's trunk gently pinched the circled animal skin, and then handed it to Fang Fan.
Fang Fan unfolded it and took a look.
"Dragon boat?"
"Yes, it's the silver-class ship I mentioned before - the dragon ship."
Although this looked like just a blueprint, Fang Fan knew as soon as he held it that it was also a rare treasure that had been conceived.
As soon as his spiritual sense was explored, a stream of information suddenly poured into his mind. Fang Fan glanced briefly, and after roughly understanding it, he gave Sun Ce a sideways glance.
Research, observation?
Believe it or not, it's clearly written on it.
Although Fang Fan didn't say anything, Sun Ce still noticed the weird look in his eyes. He turned his head and immediately understood, and said quickly.
"Lord, this blueprint was obtained after we researched it.
At first we inferred from an unknown dragon scale that water beasts were afraid of dragon blood, and then we studied dragons, and then we found this blueprint by chance."
"Oh, I see, I misunderstood."
"In that case, we can build a few dragon ships."
Fang Fan said slowly, let alone Sun Ce, even Fang Fan would be salivating over the huge profits contained in this shipping.
Especially in this extremely closed environment, every territory on the land is separated by mutant beasts.
Although exchanges between territories are not hindered, troops must be sent to clear the way and provide protection for each business trip.
And every time a lot of effort is expended to open a road, there are only a few goods that can be traded.
There is no way, just the troops and caravans on the road will take up most of the transportation space.
The remaining transportation capacity can only be used for small and profitable transactions such as arms.
As for other commodities and finished products? We have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
But most of these problems can be solved by shipping.
Ships are fast, and compared with road traffic through mountains and rivers, water transportation is simply a smooth journey.
Ships have large carrying capacity. Compared with horse-drawn transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, the cargo loaded by large ships at one time can be compared to dozens or hundreds of pallets.
And as soon as you find a way to sail on the water, you can go to the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin.
If you have good technology and venture out to sea, the shipping range can cover almost half of Kyushu, not just a small area around Ning'an.
