In the early morning, the golden sunshine awakened the sleeping earth. But inside the Zhang family, there was no sleep all night.
Zhang Hao stood nearby, looking at the busy people, and felt an unprecedented shock.
In front of the 8.6-meter-high steel column, people are so small. However, overnight, the small people changed the appearance of the steel column.
On Lu Yang's side, more than half of the steel pillars have been carved; the upper half of the steel pillars are still pitch black, but the lower half has been cleaned and polished, and the green light complements the golden sunlight.
Zhang Xinhan's side has a different look. The way they adopt seal cutting is from point to surface - first draw it to make sure there are no problems, then carve some important nodes, and then seal the points between these nodes.
The main formation patterns have been carved.
In one night, Zhang Xinhan had just finished carving the main formation patterns, but the steel column had not yet been polished and cleaned, and the entire steel column was still black.
Under the golden sunlight, this steel column is shining with bright lines. These lines are like the sunlight in the gap between dark clouds, which is particularly eye-catching. The entire steel column is calm and heavy, showing a mysterious brilliance.
But Lu Yang, Zhang Xinhan and others did not have the mood or time to appreciate their own works. They were working overtime.
Judging from the current situation, Zhang Xinhan's progress is obviously lagging behind Lu Yang's.
Many people had already started to cheer for Lu Yang. But Zhang Hao's eyes were focused on Zhang Xinhan.
Zhang Hao appreciates Zhang Xinhan's way of doing things even more, and only this is the truly reasonable way of doing things, and it is also a way of doing things with a scientific research spirit.
Unconsciously, the sun was setting again, and Lu Yang finally completed the carving of the main body of the steel column. He looked at the 0.6-meter-high barb above, and thought for a moment to carve the formation on it. But what he carved was obviously not
'Trapped Immortal Formation'.
"It's the Demon Refining Array!" Zhou Xueyao spoke. She stood next to Zhou Jue and Zhang Hao and explained softly, "The Demon Refining Array can actually be regarded as a special alchemy formation, which was passed down from ancient times.
Formation, but most of the formations are defective. The current Demon Refining Formation was repaired by us.
Currently, the demon refining array can directly refine the essence from the demon beast's body and store it in the acupoints of the demon beast's body.
But it is still not possible to directly refine the monster into a pill as in the legend.
We also need to take out the essence of the monster and use the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir."
Zhang Hao nodded silently, but understood in his heart that this so-called demon refining array can also refine people.
However, Zhang Hao keenly noticed that when Zhou Xueyao said "refining demons", her expression was very calm, as if she was saying: should we eat chicken or pork for dinner?
For cultivators, monsters have always been the target of hunting. However, ocean monsters are relatively powerful, and it is difficult to attack them in the deep sea, so this is temporarily safe.
In fact, the reason why the 'inland seas' between several continents, such as the Emerald Sea, are safe is because almost all the monsters in them have been hunted down by humans.
Zhang Hao looked at it for a while and then left. There were still many things waiting for Zhang Hao to deal with. For example, Hou Shangzhuo and Wang Dake finally took all the craftsmen and made the first model.
Iron' built ship model, and has been successful.
Zhang Hao left after receiving the information. In the smelting base, a new 'research team' was busy.
When Zhang Hao arrived, Hou Shangzhuo and Wang Dake stood excitedly by the pool. In a pool of about ten meters next to them, a one-meter-sized ship model made entirely of ordinary thick iron was slowly moving forward.
The ship is not big, and its structure is very simple. It only has a shell. However, this small model is a qualitative leap.
The first is the issue of material. This is a ship made of iron, but it floats on the water without any formation assistance. This may be ordinary for Zhang Hao, but for people in this world, this is
A fresh start.
The moment the ship made of thick iron could float, a new world slowly opened in front of them.
Everyone's eyes were still shining with surprise.
The second is the power system, which uses a small impeller directly driven by Lingshi. The impeller drives the propeller. The power is not large, but it is indeed mechanical power.
This means that ships will completely get rid of traditional methods such as sails and oars; and compared to ships driven by spiritual stones, formations, spells, etc., they will be more powerful, more durable, and consume less energy.
There was also the shape of the ship, which even surprised Zhang Hao.
Previously, Zhang Hao only mentioned one thing, saying that the sea waves were too big and the draft should be increased to ensure the stability of the ship; but Hou Shangzhuo, Wang Dake and others actually directly developed the sunken cabin shape.
To put it simply, the principles of sea ships and ordinary river boats are completely different.
Ordinary boats, that is, flat-bottomed boats, float on the water, and the ship's center of gravity is also on the water. This will naturally lead to instability and bumps in the ship.
But that's not the case for a sea-going ship. The center of gravity of a sea-going ship is under the water. It's somewhat similar to the principle of a roly-poly.
No, Hou Shangzhuo excitedly showed Zhang Hao the 'principle'. A piece of impermeable paper soaked in oil was rolled into a cone, and an iron block was placed under the cone.
Then gently place the cone in the water.
About one-third of the cone sank into the water, and two-thirds floated above the water. It is said that such a cone would be very unstable, but in fact it was not. No matter how Hou Shangzhuo stirred the water, the cone floated steadily on the water.
The bumps are not big.
Hou Shangzhuo and others shouted excitedly, otherwise it would not be enough to vent their surprise, surprise and shock.
Zhang Hao smiled faintly. Of course Zhang Hao understood this truth, but seeing Hou Shangzhuo and others starting from nothing to study this truth, Zhang Hao was very satisfied.
They have begun to delve deeply into physics. Scientific thoughts and ways of thinking have taken root in their hearts.
Zhang Hao clapped his hands, and immediately the guards came in. These guards held plates in their hands, and on the plates was a bottle of Peiyuan Dan.
"Everyone! Hou Shangzhuo, Wang Dake will reward 10 Peiyuan Pills and 5 high-grade spiritual stones..."
Zhang Hao personally watched all the rewards being distributed. There were more than 300 people present, and none of them were left behind. Of course, some who really had no contribution were only rewarded with an ordinary low-grade spirit stone. In fact, one of them was a subtle warning: Be careful,
This is not a place for idlers!
Rewards are the most motivating thing. Before Zhang Hao left, he said that the next step was to build a ten-meter-sized model of a ship. As a result, Hou Shangzhuo and Wang Dake patted their chests and promised that they would build it within ten days even if they didn't rest!
Ten days? Zhang Hao smiled, he originally wanted to say a month.
Ten days is actually very tight; but considering that everyone has a good level of cultivation and knows a little bit of magic, Zhang Hao nodded. Let’s check back in ten days, but Zhang Hao feels that in ten days, Hou Shangzhuo
They may not even be able to finish the keel.
Time came to the morning of the third day inadvertently. When Zhang Hao came to the yard again, Lu Yang had completed the seal carving and was baking the fine gold with 'flame', and the fine gold was integrated into the formation pattern little by little.
The flame was a gorgeous purple color, and Zhang Hao could faintly feel the temperature of the flame from a distance of more than ten meters.
The fine gold was calcined by the flames, turning into streams of golden water that flowed into the formation and gradually seeped into it.
Because of the fluid nature of molten gold, Lu Yang "gilded" it from top to bottom. At this time, most of it was completed; the pattern after gilding showed a faint golden light, echoing the faint green light of the black iron itself.
Exuding a beautiful and mysterious brilliance.
Then he turned to look at Zhang Xinhan next to him. He had just finished carving the formations and was checking them. Compared with Lu Yang's formations, Zhang Xinhan's formations showed a sense of "regularity and layering". The main formations were thicker.
, while the secondary formation patterns are thinner and have distinct layers.
Especially the upper barb part is actually carved into the shape of a dragon's head. Although it is slightly abstract, the unique charm of the dragon is already sevenfold.
Zhang Xinhan checked very carefully and made sure that there was no problem before asking someone to prepare the fine gold. He sat cross-legged in the void, and a bright red flame like coral gradually appeared on his hands, and the flame faintly showed the shadow of a lotus.
The fine gold turns red as soon as it is rolled on this flame, and turns into golden flowing gold when it is rolled again. It is also 'gilded' from top to bottom.
The fine gold starts from the faucet; the faucet plated with fine gold shows more majesty, and the nobility of the dragon emerges vividly. The faucet under the morning sun seems to be alive!
"Okay!" Seeing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but admire.
Then Zhang Hao asked Zhou Jue who was coming next to him: "Brother Zhou, are the flames on the hands of Lu Yang and Zhang Xinhan a strange fire?"
