The question raised by Zhao Donghe silenced everyone in an instant.
Seventy thousand prisoners, this is not a small number! It is impossible for everyone to take these prisoners with them, and if they want to guard so many prisoners, there are not many people available.
Gradually, murderous intent was revealed in everyone's eyes as they looked at each other.
Zhang Hao frowned a little, but couldn't think of any better way for a while.
"I have a way!" Zhou Shuhai spoke at the critical moment, "There is a medicinal material called 'Ghost Poppy Grass' planted over there in Xinglin Hall. The burning smoke can confuse people's minds. Then we can use Ghost Poppy Grass.
smoke to induce them to attack the border of Jinyang Kingdom."
Zhang Hao raised his head and looked at Zhou Shuhai. Why does this thing sound... so familiar? And it seems to be an enhanced version?
Zhou Shuhai felt a little embarrassed when Zhang Hao looked at him, and said with emotion in his tone: "This thing... I wasn't going to take it out originally. But now, I have to take it out.
This thing... everyone, please be careful, once you are infected, you will never be able to quit for the rest of your life, and you will become a slave to this ghost poppy grass!"
As he spoke, Zhou Shuhai took out a dried ghost poppy plant from his storage ring. As soon as this ghost poppy plant appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. Even if it was dry, its flowers were still bright and eye-catching, purple-red, but
It also has a little bit of blood red, an indescribable charm, and an indescribable weirdness all over it.
However, no one dared to approach him because they were frightened by Zhou Shuhai.
Zhou Shuhai smiled a little proudly: "As long as it is not ignited, it will not be harmful, so don't worry."
Zhang Hao looked at the familiar shape and was shocked. He actually saw a similar plant in another world. Feeling the faint spirituality on it, Zhang Hao became even more vigilant: This thing is only in the Nascent Soul stage.
I can't even resist it!
Then Zhou Shuhai said leisurely: "I also discovered this thing accidentally, but I don't grow many of them there. After more than ten years of breeding, there are only two thousand plants. I don't know if they are enough for 70,000 captives."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "If it is burned, it will waste too much. If these plants are ground and soaked in water, will the effect be better?"
"Huh? Soak in water? I didn't expect it. Let me try!" Zhou Jue immediately crushed a piece of flower petal and put it into the teapot. He observed it for a long time. After a while, he smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the effect of soaking in water is almost
Ten times as much, this pot of tea is enough to make ten ordinary soldiers confused for an hour, it’s enough!”
But then Zhou Shuhai looked at Zhang Hao doubtfully: "How did you think of soaking in water?"
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Didn't you think of this when you saw the tea next to you?"
"Oh..." Zhou Shuhai nodded, okay, I will believe you for now.
…………
Another dawn came slowly, but in the Zhang family's shipbuilding base, Princess Liu Xinyu had been standing next to it all night.
That night, Liu Xinyu was shocked, shocked, dumbfounded, and then... ecstatic!
Until now, she couldn't believe her eyes. The Zhang family... was really building a big ship with black iron. Well, it should be said that it was steel.
Yesterday, Liu Xinyu first experienced the domineering power of the armored ship in person - although it was only a ten-meter model, it already shocked Liu Xinyu.
Then, Zhang Shengde took Liu Xinyu to the shipbuilding base. Here, the Zhang family's craftsmen were building the first real steel ship.
This is a dry dock located on the seaside. The dock is underground and has a depth of more than ten meters; not far away is the sea water blocked by a seal.
At this time, the ship's keel has been laid. However, compared with the keel of the wooden ship, the keel of the steel ship is completely different. There are five I-beam keels of different thicknesses. The middle one is almost one meter high, and the two sides are gradually lowered.
But the edge one is also half a meter high.
In other words, this ship has five small keels. Each small keel is made of double-layered, five-meter-long I-beams riveted together.
The length of each I-beam is about five meters, which is the limit of the Zhang family's temporary production capacity. In order to splice a keel of sufficient length and sufficient strength, each small keel is riveted by two layers of I-beams.
It is made, and the seams are extra reinforced.
The joint positions of the five small keels are evenly staggered.
The last five small keels were broken front and back and began to narrow and rise, forming a steel structure more than 100 meters long and about 10 meters high.
At this time, craftsmen were laying the ribs of the ship. This scene was very spectacular.
Machine tools of all sizes roared, drilling holes one after another in the I-beam. Compared with the precision of the seal-carving formation, this requirement is much lower. Therefore, the drill bits are reinforced with the formation and can be easily
Drilling holes in hard steel.
The riveted part of the I-beam also needs to be carefully ground and polished.
The craftsmen shouted slogans, and burned the soft steel rivets as thick as their arms red red, carefully placed them into the holes, and then... picked up the sledgehammer and hammered it with a clanging sound, causing sparks to shoot out.
During this process, the rivets cannot cool down – so the efficiency has to be fast!
Also, rivets are not screws, and it is very troublesome to make mistakes, so they must be formed in one go as much as possible. So every time it is forged, there is a craftsman in charge of proofreading next to him shouting: Continue.
Princess Liu Xinyu stood in such an environment for a whole night, unblinking, as if she was crazy.
She watched the craftsmen meticulously, methodically, and busy performing their duties. She watched the craftsmen shouting slogans and using red-hot rivets as thick as arms to connect pieces of I-beam steel.
In one night, the craftsmen completed the work of 10 main ribs.
Sparks were flying, the sound of steel colliding, the sound of forging, the roar of machine tools, and the trumpets of craftsmen all merged into an industrial hymn.
Steel, flame, strength, wisdom, and high fighting spirit are vividly displayed here.
This group of ordinary craftsmen are using their own hands to create unprecedented miracles - a steel ship, a fertile land, and even an unprecedented steel ship in the entire spiritual world!
Liu Xinyu wanted to stay here and see the birth of the steel ship with her own eyes. But she... couldn't! Because, at dawn, someone came to the Zhang family and brought an imperial edict. Liu Xinyu had to leave here and go to the Zhang family's compound.
.
Ouyang Qingque took the lead, and there were ten Nascent Soul stage masters, who looked at Liu Xinyu coldly. Ouyang Qingque even said with regret on his face: "Princess, you really shouldn't come here. Your Majesty, please go back!"
"
Liu Xinyu looked at Ouyang Qingque and the ten Yuanyingqi people around her, her face darkened, "Is this a forced invitation?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Please."
Next to him, Feng Dongyuan couldn't help it anymore, and said with ridicule: "These masters are so majestic. They didn't go to the battlefield but came to threaten the princess!"
Ouyang Qingque glanced at Feng Dongyuan coldly and snorted: "We are here to pick up the princess and marry her!"
