Unexpectedly, it has been more than three months, the weather has become cool, and the fields are full of busy farmers.
Zhang Hao took Zhou Xueyao and stood under the lighthouse, overlooking the sea and the brand new port. He also looked at the busy and excited people at the foot of the mountain.
More than three months have passed, and too many stories have happened.
The Kingdom of Qixia rose strongly and unified the west - except for the Kingdom of Zhongshan. After all, half of the Kingdom of Zhongshan was swallowed up by the Kingdom of Taihua, and the relationship between the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Qixia also began to become tense.
In this case, the Kingdom of Qingyun also swallowed up the other half of the Kingdom of Zhongshan. The Kingdom of Qingyun, the Kingdom of Taihua, and the Kingdom of Qixia formed a three-legged stance.
The Kingdom of Qixia, which is busy reorganizing the country, is indeed unable to continue the war. The Kingdom of Qixia is now the largest among the Three Kingdoms, but the country is full of waste and needs to be revitalized, and the newly occupied areas need to be consolidated. Therefore, the posture of the Three Kingdoms is in a stalemate.
There is also the country of Canglan and the country of Langya, and the war between the two countries is currently in full swing.
The two steel warships that Wang Ruiyang took away were indeed sent to the country of Langya. The two warships were named: Hailonghao and Hague respectively.
However, the ownership of these two battleships still belongs to the Xiaoyao Sect, and the masters on the battleships, and even many soldiers, are designated by the Xiaoyao Sect.
But the Langya Kingdom can imitate these two battleships and add the technology obtained from Dayang Group to redesign and build its own battleship, the Black Iron Battleship.
However, the country of Langya is not easy either. In the past three months, the country of Canglan once again ordered two steel warships from Dayang Group - Dayang Group sold two old warships, so that the country of Canglan has
Three steel battleships. Except for the "Revenge" at the beginning, the remaining ones were named "Dawn" and "Thunder".
Relying on three steel warships, the country of Canglan finally opened up the sea route again, from the south of the Emerald Sea, to trade directly with the Tuotu Continent, and indirectly with the Eastern Fleet. In this way, the country of Canglan finally got out of the trough.
Also, if there is a problem with the warship of the Canglan Kingdom, you can go directly to Dayang Group for repairs. But if there is a problem with the warship of the Langya Kingdom... you can find a solution by yourself!
However, the Xiaoyao sect stands behind the Langya Kingdom, so it is not easy for the Canglan Kingdom.
In addition, the biggest thing in the past three months is the strong rise of the Shaoze Kingdom. The newly rising Shaoze Kingdom has picked a weak persimmon - the Langya Kingdom!
The poor country of Langya was invaded for more than a thousand miles to the west by the country of Canglan. It was also facing a life-and-death duel with the country of Canglan on the ocean. The domestic strength was already stretched thin, and they did not expect that a tiger suddenly appeared from behind, and the northern front suddenly collapsed.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Shaoze have been sharpening their swords on their own land for more than thirty years. With the secret support of the Ocean Group, the combat effectiveness of the Legion of the Kingdom of Shaoze is beyond imagination.
In just a few days, the northern defense line of Langya Kingdom retreated more than 600 miles.
In the end, the Xiaoyao faction directly intervened and asked the Southern Tang Kingdom and the Northern Tang Kingdom to jointly send troops. This temporarily curbed the madness of the Shaoze Kingdom.
But in the land army war, the Kingdom of Shaoze was simply too powerful. The combined forces of the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty could only retreat and defend themselves most of the time.
Fortunately, the country of Shaoze had just been unified and the country was empty. Nangong Zhi's attack was actually an offense instead of a defense, so he stopped it as soon as it was good.
But the sudden rise of the Shaoze Kingdom still caused panic in the surrounding countries. This country that everyone least wanted to see was finally reunited. And as soon as it appeared, it pushed the Langya Kingdom back six hundred miles! If not
The Xiaoyao faction takes action, and the country of Langya can be driven into the sea to swim.
The biggest impact is that industry and commerce are blooming everywhere!
Zhang Hao's plan came into effect! Three months later, the original information had already spread everywhere. Finally, Dayang Group simply established a publishing house. The first batch of printed publications of the publishing house were not newspapers, but technical information.
Very exquisite technical information uniformly printed by Dayang Group. A set only requires one high-grade spiritual stone. It includes black iron smelting technology, steam turbine technology, shipbuilding technology, simple machine tool technology, the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation, etc.
In these data, new, standardized units are used.
However, among these data, there are only finished product, raw and cold data, and no research and development process, etc.
But even so, demand still exceeds supply.
After Dayang Group re-established contact with Dongfang, Hua An, the young master of Contradiction Trading Company from Kunlun Continent, after seeing these information, actually purchased a whole ship of information, including black iron, steel, etc., just like that
Left in a hurry.
In short, in just three months, the technology has been completely spread. In the south, the ship of the Ocean Group was sent to the southernmost part of the Tuotu Continent, the Storm Cape, which is within the scope of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Naturally, it was also sent to the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
.
In the far east, it has spread to Kunlun Continent.
In the Fertile Continent, at least in the west of the Fertile Continent, almost every country has established its own military industry system - simple machine tools, black iron production lines, and the most important artillery production line!
The biggest change in the country of Qixia is that railways have spread across the country - Liu Xinyu keenly discovered the significance of railways for governance. In addition to railways, there are also roads. Today's roads are still mainly rammed earth. But there are already a few asphalt pavements.
Appeared.
Now the Kingdom of Qixia has basically consolidated a territory of 15,000 miles, and Liu Xinyu has become the most powerful emperor in the history of the Kingdom of Qixia.
And large and small workshops, enterprises, groups, etc. are also blooming all over the country of Qixia.
In particular, the Red Mansion bought almost all of Dayang Group's first-generation production equipment, spending a total of more than 100 million high-grade spiritual stones - almost wiping out all the money in the family.
Now, everyone in the Red Mansion is happily carrying out their own major construction - a complete industrial chain of black iron, artillery, and battleships.
Under the planning of Zhang Hao and the guidance of Zhou Jue and others, Honglou was ambitious enough to complete an industrial system on its own.
But the biggest change of all is undoubtedly Dayang Group.
Youdao is that if the old does not go away, the new will not come in. Now Dayang Group is prosperous and the impact of the original disaster cannot be seen at all.
The biggest impact at the beginning was the port, the warships at the port, and the dock. Among them, the battleships were from the Xuanzhen Sect. The docks and the port were a bit old and had long been wanted to be demolished.
Today, Zhang Hao is looking at his own shipyard from a distance. No one knows that in the new shipyard, the technicians and engineers of Dayang Group are building a new warship - a displacement of 20,000 tons!
The maturity of welding technology has made this possible.
Huang Mingshan and others have now developed a new power machine - an internal combustion engine! Now, the internal combustion engine has entered the final testing phase.
But today, the most important thing Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao want to see here is... a hot air balloon!
After nine months of preparation and exploration, the first real hot air balloon that can carry people finally appeared.
Today is the date for the first public test of hot air balloons.
Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao stood side by side, with countless people around them looking forward to it. Those who came here today were all insiders - at least they were told that something new appeared today, an object that could fly without relying on magic.
In a world of spiritual practice, if you tell others that there is something that does not rely on magic, it will be quite eye-catching! This is the same concept as the sudden emergence of magic in a technological world.
Although Dayang Group has already achieved many miracles, flying things still attract a lot of attention.
How can you fly without relying on magic? Is it like a bird?
Under the spotlight, Murong Shan, who had just joined Dayang Group for three months, came with a group of people. Murong Shan took the lead, and the people behind him carried various tools, and even a large frame with a diameter of two meters made of steel bars and iron wires.
, sandbags, rolled up colorful airbags, etc.
Further behind, there are several young people wearing white, simple robes, and the leaders are actually two eighteen-year-old girls.
These two girls are surprisingly Zhou Xueyao's maids, Xiaozhu and Xiaoyue. But now, these two girls have become scientific workers of Dayang Group.
The two girls were originally young girls who were sold by poor families and were bought by Xinglintang. Now they also have the surname Zhou, which can be regarded as a complete name.
I studied chemistry with Zhou Xueyao, and got acquainted with physics by the way, and finally took on Zhang Hao's appointment to study hot air balloons.
Finally, it's time to make a name for yourself.
Suddenly, more than two hundred people flew in from the direction of the Zhang Family Courtyard. These people were dressed in different styles and had very different styles. These people all joined Dayang Group one after another.
Some of them are attracted by the theory of a round earth, some are attracted by science and technology, some come for the great voyages and the legendary overseas Nine Immortals Mountain, some come because of astrology...
These people come from all over the world, but they all have some real skills, and most of their cultivation levels are above the Nascent Soul stage, and there are many in the later stages and at the peak. Zhang Hao selected more than two hundred people after repeated selections. For the time being, more people are only
Now I can live in the country of Qixia.
When everything was ready, Xiaozhu and Xiaoyue came to the center of the designated field and began to direct.
Murong Shan, a great master and general, was actually being led around by two little girls, and everything was assembled in a short time.
An air bag that is more than ten meters long crawls on the ground and extends along the hillside to higher places - this can reduce the difficulty of inflating.
Xiaozhu Xiaoyue commanded, Murong Shan and Murong Shan's men (brought from the north) followed the instructions of the two little girls, poured naphtha into the burner, lit it, and then the burner sprayed flames. After adjusting the distance,
The high-temperature gas of the flame rushes into the air bag.
Gradually, the bottom end of the air bag begins to expand and bulge. The speed becomes faster and faster, more hot gas enters the air bag, and the air bag expands at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually floats.
There were sounds of 'Oh...' coming from all around, and everyone looked very curious, but not surprised... much. In the world of spiritual practice, everyone has seen too many weird things.
The colorful balloon gradually became round and round, the flames burned, and the billowing hot air entered the interior of the balloon.
Suddenly, the basket moved.
"Throw the sandbag!" Xiaozhu shouted.
Murong Shan began to throw sandbags, and the hot air balloon swayed gently and began to rise. Murong Shan had two other people standing in the basket.
This time, exclamations erupted from all around.
Can you really fly without using magic?
What is the principle?
The balloon flew higher and higher, surpassing the first layer of white clouds, and then surpassing the second layer of white clouds. Until the thin and strong rope pulling the hot air balloon tightened. At this time, the mark on the rope was - 20 kilometers!
Viewed from the ground, there is only a small black spot left in the hot air balloon at this time, which is occasionally obscured by white clouds in the sky.
On the ground, Xiaozhu loudly explained to everyone around him: "This is Dayang Group's new technology. We call it a hot air balloon. The principle of its lift-off is to use the phenomenon of upward smoke!"
Well, don't expect Dayang Group to disclose the true principles. It will definitely trick people into killing people without paying for their lives. But having said that, there is nothing wrong with the rising smoke! The phenomenon is correct.
Xiaozhu continued, "Currently this is just an exploration of technology. In the future, we are preparing to build very large hot air balloons. We envision that the volume of the hot air balloon will exceed one kilometer, and it can transport hundreds of tons of cargo at a time, directly from the sky.
travel through.
Compared with a flying boat, it will be very slow and bulky. But its cost will be very low. Its transportation capacity will be higher, and it can even transport troops!
Do you know how much this hot air balloon costs?”
After a short pause, Xiaozhu said, "The cost of this hot air balloon is 300,000 yuan! If the technology matures, we are confident that it can be reduced to less than 150,000 yuan!"
300,000 yuan is the price of 30 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones!
And the cost of building a flying boat is tens of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones!"
The eyes of many businessmen around him suddenly lit up! They saw the value of hot air balloons!
(Finally, the fourth update was released before midnight. Thank you all for your support, Tianya worked hard...)
