The night was quiet, but Zhou Jue's eyes looked at Zhang Hao, but they were full of vigilance.
The appearance of the Black Iron Guild was groundbreaking. The role of the Black Iron Guild was immediate. The Black Iron Guild's influence, interests, etc., made countless people jealous.
Now, the Black Iron Guild has been established for less than two months, and it has already shown great potential.
However, for such a prosperous Black Iron Guild, the Zhang family left without any hesitation.
The so-called "abandonment is like a waste" is nothing more than this.
A prosperous Black Iron Guild with a bright future was split into two.
In Zhou Jue's view, the Zhang family completely disregarded the feelings of others for their own interests.
Is the Zhang family worth cooperating with?
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Jue's eyes and smiled, "Brother, do you know why the Zhang family wanted to promote the Black Iron Guild in the first place?"
"not sure."
Zhang Hao slowly walked out of the house and came to the pavilion, pointing his right hand around: "Two months ago, this was an ordinary city, and the Zhang family was just an ordinary family at that time.
But even so, there are still people who are concerned about the Zhang family's skills and want to take away everything from us. Under the pressure of everyone, we have to disclose the water forging technique.
It can be said that everything was exciting later. Fortunately, thanks to a series of luck and technological advancement, the Zhang family finally gained a firm foothold.
But problems came one after another. The Zhang family had no choice but to disclose the water forging technique, which promoted technological progress. However, it inadvertently caused chaos in the black iron market and led to the devaluation of black iron coins. Countless people complained about us, and even
Scold us!
At that time, I wanted to say loudly to everyone - we did something wrong!"
Having said this, Zhang Hao stopped talking. He looked at the night sky melancholy, holding on to the railing with both hands, as if he couldn't calm down.
Zhou Jue stopped talking. He wanted to comfort Zhang Hao, but he didn't know how to speak.
After a while, Zhang Hao sighed leisurely: "After that, I told my father, don't worry about the life and death of these Xuantie families, and don't worry about the voices of ordinary people. Anyway, none of this was caused by us intentionally.
It is their own fault.
But my father persuaded me for a long time.
Until I met the princess.
I don’t know why the princess knew about me and talked to me. But that conversation changed me.”
If you have the ability, go to the princess and ask... Zhang Hao felt a little proud in his heart. The young master's speech level is not bad.
Zhou Jue was gradually drawn into the story, "What changed?"
"No eggs are left behind when the nest is overturned!" Zhang Hao said categorically, "The country is fragile, and the countries in the east are eyeing it. Even the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Danyang, etc. are coveting it.
In fact, a series of things that have happened recently are enough to show this: the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Danyang, both of the six Western countries, are always plotting against our country.
Faced with this situation, what should we do?”
What to do? Zhou Jue had been led astray by Zhang Hao. He continued to think along Zhang Hao's words, but could not get an answer for a while.
Zhang Hao suddenly turned around, pointed to the east, and said with a firm voice: "Dongfang, we have worked hard for thousands of years, and we have changed dynasties three times, but we still can't make any progress."
Then he turned around and pointed to the north, "To the north is the country of Zhoushan, and further north is the country of Yanyun. This is also a place of despair, with no hope!"
Finally, Zhang Hao pointed to the south and west: "Now, there are only these two directions, and we haven't tried them yet."
Zhou Jue frowned immediately: "That's the Green Sea of Death."
"Yes, it's the Green Sea of Death!" Zhang Hao's tone began to soothe, "But do we have a choice?"
Zhou Jue stopped talking. He thought for a long time and finally said: "Actually, thousands of years ago, when the contemporary Qixia country was just founded, it explored the Green Sea of Death, but the results were tragic. A large number of marine monsters were angered and even rushed into the sea.
On land. In the end, the empire made huge sacrifices to calm the anger of the sea monsters."
"The development at that time was to hunt ocean monsters, right?"
"Yeah, then do you have any good ideas?"
"What if we don't hunt the sea monsters, but just pass by?"
Zhou Jue shook his head: "We also built a treasure ship, but as soon as we got out of the water, we were targeted by ocean monsters. Thousands of people died tragically at the mouth of the monsters. At that time, several elders of Jiuyang Sect were involved, and they never came back.
.”
"Never tried again after that?"
"If there is no hope at all, why try!"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Have you ever thought about whether your method is wrong?"
"Oh..." Zhou Jue became slightly interested, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao said firmly, "The Zhang family has an idea, which is to use black iron to build a super ship, an indestructible sea fortress!
For this reason, we must mass-produce black iron.
In order to produce black iron, when the Zhang family lacked the ability, we established the black iron guild, stabilized the price of black iron, and held back the monetary value.
However, in less than two months, I was a little disappointed. The current Black Iron Guild has shown itself to be complacent and only talks about immediate interests but has no long-term vision.
For this reason, the Zhang family had to find new methods. Therefore, the idea of the factory was born."
Zhou Jue frowned slightly: "I have vaguely heard of the idea of building a black iron ship before. But with all due respect, I am not very optimistic about it.
There are two problems here, and I can't think of a solution.
First of all, how to make black iron into a big ship?
The largest black iron creation I have ever seen is probably the 'Qingtian Pavilion' in the Kingdom of Canglan. It is only 18 feet high and 30 feet wide.
Using Qingtian Pavilion once will consume tens of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones.
In order to build Qingtian Pavilion, the country of Canglan spent several years.
But we don't have such ability.
Secondly, it is unrealistic to forge a huge black iron ship into a magic weapon.
The largest magic weapon that Jiuyang Sect can refine now is a flying boat. However, a flying boat is only three feet in size, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is not very practical.
If these two problems cannot be solved...I am still not optimistic about your sailing plan."
Zhang Hao didn't speak. He looked at the starry sky leisurely, looking at the crescent moon in the sky - the crescent moon is the best interpretation of the round earth theory.
But what Zhang Hao was thinking about at this moment was Zhou Jue's words.
After a while, Zhang Hao said leisurely: "Brother, there is something I want to give to you."
"oh?"
“It’s not because you see hope that you work hard, but because you work hard you can see hope!
We cannot wait until all the conditions are met before exploring. We should take the initiative to solve the difficulties. I am not sure whether the Zhang family will find a way, but I will not give up!"
After saying that, Zhang Hao turned around and left. "See you tomorrow."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao's slowly disappearing back, but a storm surged in his heart. He suddenly felt that Zhang Hao's back was firm, straight, and majestic.
"Is it because you work hard that you can see hope?" Zhou Jue looked up at the moon in the sky, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. This novel statement made Zhou Jue's heart feel hot!
While I was thinking, I heard Zhang Hao's somewhat ethereal voice coming from a distance:
At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the gospel?
