(Apologies in advance: The launch time is 12 o'clock, which is arranged by the backend, and there is a delay. Please forgive me. I have been refreshing the backend.
The new book has been released for two months, and it has been delayed for another week. I am asking for first orders, monthly passes, and recommendation votes^_^.)

Feizhou returned to Ninghe County safely all the way; Feng Zhiling made many turns along the way to avoid possible crises. Although Senior Brother Feng's brain circuit is relatively strange, his survival methods are still very good.
The flying boat did not land in Ninghe County, but returned directly to the Zhang family. Before landing, Zhou Xueyao put on the veil again.
As soon as the flying boat landed, Zhang Shengde rushed out. Seeing that Zhang Hao was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief with a bright smile on his face; then he gave Feng Zhiling a bright and grateful smile.
But the next moment, Lao Zhang's eyes were attracted by Zhou Xueyao. Although she was veiled, her unique temperament was more obvious.
He blinked and said to Zhang Hao: Who is this?
Zhang Hao first invited Zhou Xueyao to get off the flying boat and formally introduced him: "Dad, this is Zhou Xueyao, she is Zhou Jue's sister and the daughter of Xinglin Hall.
Shimei, this is my father. This is my second uncle."
Zhang Shengye, who had just arrived, immediately puffed up his chest and tried his best to pretend to be an elder.
Zhou Xueyao quickly took off her veil and greeted her playfully. However, Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye showed satisfied smiles, and their eyes... were meaningful!
Asking the maid to arrange a place for Zhou Xueyao, Zhang Shengde pulled Zhang Hao to talk about things, and there were a lot of things. In the two days since Zhang Hao left, the city lord Liu Jingming came to discuss the issue of remuneration, and he has not left yet.
However, Zhang Shengde did not agree to any questions from Liu Jingming, saying that he would wait for Zhang Hao to come back.
Zhang Hao looked at his father in surprise.
Zhang Shengde patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "The family will be left to you. From now on, I will only be responsible for the safety of the family. The specific development of the family, etc., will be completely left to you."
The father and son looked at each other for a while, and then Zhang Hao nodded solemnly. From now on, Zhang Hao can truly take over the important responsibility of the family.
When I came to the living room, I saw Liu Jingming still sitting there waiting. When I saw Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde coming, I just nodded.
After sitting down, Zhang Shengde solemnly said to Liu Jingming: "City Lord Liu, from now on, my son Zhang Hao will be responsible for all the affairs of the Zhang family. So no matter what happens in the future, just talk to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's decision is
The Zhang family’s decision.”
Liu Jingming was stunned for a moment, his surprised eyes swept in front of Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde, and it took him a while to finally come to his senses:
It is said that Liu Jingming has seen the recent changes in the Zhang family. It is not impossible to understand Zhang Shengde's decision. But it is still surprising. Zhang Hao is only eighteen years old.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jingming looked at Zhang Hao: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Hao thanked him and said directly: "City Lord Liu, regarding the country's plan to build Ninghe County into a base for black iron, magic weapons, magic weapons, and war magic weapons, my Zhang family fully agrees and will fully support it. However, the related rewards
Question, how about we stay here for a few days and then talk about it.”
"Why?" Liu Jingming looked surprised. I have prepared so much, and you actually told me how many more days I have to wait? Okay, I'm not an unreasonable person, give me a reason!
Zhang Hao made a surprising statement: "I found a way to open the ocean!"
"What!" Liu Jingming stood up directly this time, "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "Zhang Hao doesn't dare to joke about this matter. However, the matter is also more difficult, and there are some things that will trouble the city lord."
Liu Jingming sat down slowly and thought for a moment before saying: "Zhang Hao, things have to be done step by step. How about we first settle the issue just now?"
Zhang Hao looked very serious: "Time waits for no one! I just went to Jingshan City in the Kingdom of Jinyang to watch a day of battle. I was very shocked and felt the crisis.
I think the time left for us is running out. Therefore, we must seize the time to open up the ocean road."
Zhang Hao doesn't want to talk now, and Liu Jingming has no choice in the end. Moreover, Liu Jingming still agrees with the idea of opening up the ocean. Liu Jingming also wants to see how Zhang Hao plans to open up the ocean. "How do you want me to help?
?”
"Master!" Zhang Hao said two words decisively, "If we want to open up the ocean road, we will inevitably communicate with the ocean monsters. In order to prevent possible counterattacks by the ocean monsters, we must make complete preparations."
Liu Jingming frowned: "How do you plan to open the ocean road? If a large number of ocean monsters counterattack, even the entire country's efforts will not be enough."
"It shouldn't be a big problem. We are not hunting ocean monsters this time, let alone the resources of the ocean. We are just...borrowing a road and a piece of water from the sea.
As far as I know, there are many similar things in the country of Zhoushan. The seafood in the country of Zhoushan is quite good."
"The country of Zhoushan is different. The sea areas they block and occupy are inside the island chain, and they dare not interfere outside the island chain."
"But at least this is enough to show that the ocean monsters are not completely crazy, violent and irrational."
Liu Jingming didn't speak. He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "How many days do you need to prepare here?"
"About five days."
"Okay, let's meet again in five days."

The Zhang family's smelting base is becoming more and more lively. Although the ordinary Xuantie production has now been moved to the Xuantie factory, which is Luanci Mountain, the Zhang family still retains two production lines here.
A production line, responsible for producing more than 95% purity; a black iron production line specifically for alchemy.
In addition, it is the mechanical production and processing area, as well as the research area.
In the current research area, two production lines are being built. One is a steel production line and the other is an oil refining line.
When Zhang Hao arrived, Huang Mingshan and others were busy and disgraced, but full of interest.
Seeing Zhang Hao, Huang Mingshan shouted excitedly: "Master, we have made a new breakthrough in steel research. We can use crushed spiritual stones instead of spiritual stones, so that the cost of steel smelting is reduced to 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
Ton. The contract is 200 spiritual stones per kilogram!”
Zhang Hao was overjoyed. Huang Mingshan and others did not disappoint him. Their progress was beyond imagination.
In fact, speaking of it, this world of cultivation has already accumulated a lot of accumulation. As long as Zhang Hao gives a direction, Huang Mingshan and others will naturally be able to use these accumulations little by little.
For example, there are many types of formations required for steelmaking, etc. in the traditional practice system.
But no matter what, Zhang Hao is happy to have such achievements.
Ask everyone to temporarily stop what they are doing and call everyone together: "Everyone should stop what they are doing first. There is an important thing that requires everyone to work hard."
Everyone's eyes brightened. What was the important thing that the young master said?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao slowly spoke and dropped an important topic: "Next, we will... officially open the Ocean Road and start to open the Ocean Road!"
Opening up a road to the ocean? Everyone's eyes are brightened - this has been talked about for a long time, is it finally entering a substantive stage?
Zhang Hao continued: "I recently thought of a method, which is to 'boil the sea.' We must use the method of 'boiling the sea' to deter marine monsters and fight for a piece of sea area that belongs to us.
As for the formation of Boiling the Sea, I chose the 'Dutian Fierce Formation'. The Dutian Fierce Formation requires at least 12 formation flags. My idea is to refine 12 steel pillars as the formation flag. Each steel pillar,
Weighs 100,000 kilograms. That’s fifty tons!
It’s almost one meter in diameter and eight meters in height.”
"Hiss..." Huang Mingshan and others gasped.
Yu Yueyun, who was in charge of steel, said carefully: "Master, there are many technical difficulties in such a large steel."
Zhang Hao glanced at Yu Yueyun: "We have all the key technologies. I believe you can create miracles!"
"But... Young Master, how to carve a formation on such a large piece of steel..."
Zhang Hao smiled: "I'm going to find someone! I think someone will rush to do it!"
