Dugu Junjie and his entourage have been in the Red Lotus Sect for more than a month, and the two sides have reached a lot of cooperation projects.

One of the largest transaction projects is that Dayang Group assisted the Red Lotus Sect to build a dark iron factory, which can mass-produce 60% of the black iron and mass produce high-purity black iron, with a maximum purity of about 90%.

This technology is already an obsolete technology in the current country of Qixia, because the country of Qixia has been fully publicly authorized. However, it does not prevent Dayang Group from using this technology here in exchange for high returns.

After repeated negotiations, this technology, together with the cost of building a factory, was exchanged for a 400-kilometer radius of land at the mouth of the Skull River. The land is slightly narrow and long, and it is distributed along the coast.

Yes, in exchange for a radius of 400 kilometers of land, an area of about 100,000 square kilometers.

100,000 square kilometers, for a holy place, sesame grains are a little bigger. However, for Dayang Group, this can be regarded as the first overseas base, and it is located at the mouth of the river, and the geographical location is very superior.

For the current Red Lotus Sect, this place may be good, but that's it. For the time being, it seems to have a little value, but it is far less valuable than the value of the Xuantie Factory. Both sides were happy.

However, the vein of fine gold found at the mouth of the Skull River does not belong to the Dayang Group, but now the pure gold mine is almost finished, and it is just a small vein.

Later, the Ocean Group used 'incomplete artillery technology' in exchange for a full 120 tons of Xingchen Adamantite Gold and 80 tons of Taibai Pure Gold.

This transaction made Liu Dingshan next to him red-eyed, and his eyes were about to breathe fire.

To be precise, Liu Dingshan did not join the negotiations, but he knew the results of the negotiations.

You must know that the annual output of Xingchen Essence Gold in the entire Qixia Country is only 600 kilograms, and the annual output of Zhongshan Country, which is the largest in the west of the Fertile Earth Continent, is only four tons. The total output of the entire Fertile Continent in the West does not exceed six tons per year!

The measurement method of Star Essence is calculated according to 'points'. 10 taels per catty, 10 cents for a tael, 10 cents for a penny.

To make a relatively good magic weapon flying sword, you need two points of star essence. According to the standard calculation of Dayang Group, it is about one gram.

Now Dayang Group has obtained 120 tons of Xingchen Essence Gold in one go!

In addition, there is the rarer and more precious white gold.

If Xingchen Essence Gold is a magic weapon and a space-type spiritual material, then Taibai Essence Gold is a 'killing' type spiritual material. It is too white gold, very hard and sharp. With the addition of a flying sword made of Taibai Essence Gold, you can easily cut off other magic weapons.

However, Dugu Junjie was not very satisfied.

Because, 120 tons of star pure gold is really very little. This thing is almost 3.5 times the density of black iron, and 120 tons is only 4.3 cubic meters.

There are also 80 tons of white gold, which is not much. Taibai Pure Gold is slightly lighter than Xingchen Pure Gold, and it is roughly estimated that it is only 3.4 cubic meters.

Moreover, the Star Essence Gold and Taibai Essence Gold provided by the Red Lotus Sect are all fragmentary, and the purity is not the same. The minimum purity is around 60%, and the highest purity is only 80%.

However, Dugu Junjie was very patient, each piece was identified, and then calculated at a discount. For example, if a 2 kilogram of Xingchen Adamantine Gold has a purity of 81%, it is calculated as 1.6 kilograms. There is 1% as the calculation of fire consumption.

There is nothing wrong with this calculation, it is to make the Red Lotus Sect in charge of the transaction, the refining hall master Lan Baihong's face darkened - these scheming profiteers.

But what impressed the Red Lotus Sect the most was that the Ocean Group had exchanged for a single root of the Red Lotus in the Nine Lands in just a few words.

The red lotus of Jiudi has a root whisker, 80 meters long, a maximum diameter of 2.7 meters, plus a variety of scattered roots, with a total weight of more than 300 tons.

This root is used by the Ocean Group to prepare to go back and build a cultivation secret realm, imitating the cultivation environment of the Red Lotus Sect.

As a deal, the Ocean Group informed the Red Lotus Sect of how to create a 'small holy land practice environment'. A few words, really. Of course, there are still a lot of detailed information, but the principle is very simple: high-temperature and high-pressure steaming of Reiki (Spirit Stone).

With the Red Lotus Sect's ability to play with fire every day, the first cultivation chamber had been made before the battleship left the port.

Standing in front of the secret room, Lan Baihong was still a little angry, "Sect Master, you are too easy to talk. With just such a thing, it actually replaced one of the roots of the Red Lotus of the Nine Lands. ”

Sect Leader True Yang Ancestor shook his head and asked Zhai Feihong, the disciple next to him, "Feihong, what do you think?"

Zhai Feihong thought for a moment before saying, "Master, I don't think either of us will suffer. For us, we may not have been able to find this method without a reminder from the Ocean Group.

As the Ocean Group said, we don't, so they can ask for a high price. It may sound simple, but the disciple believes that when the Dayang Group first explored this technology, it must have made arduous efforts.

Simplicity doesn't mean easy. ”

True Yang Ancestor smiled with satisfaction, "It's good that you can have such an understanding." In the future, the Red Lotus Sect will be handed over to you, and I will be relieved. ”

"Master......"

"I'll just tell you about it. Zhenyang Ancestor smiled, and then sighed with some emotion, "The contact with Dayang Group is our opportunity."

Blue and white rainbows, the production of the Xuantie factory and artillery, will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes. Lan Baihong replied seriously.

This time, the artillery technology brought by the Dayang Group is incomplete - the Dayang Group gave the formula for gunpowder, which should be said to be very critical.

However, the production of gun barrels and key components was not taught. In the future, Dayang Group will bring gun barrels, primers, fuses, key components, etc. And low-tech ones such as pedestals are produced locally here in the Red Lotus Sect.

After feeling it in the secret room, Lan Baihong had to praise, "It is indeed a very powerful technique." But Master, why don't we order a warship from the Ocean Group? I've been listening to the people of the Ocean Group these days, and their warships can also be sold. ”

"Sixty million top-grade spirit stones!" True Yang Ancestor smiled bitterly, "It's too expensive, for the time being, we don't need the power of the ocean, and we don't have the energy to do it." Let's build the Xuantie factory first, and then arm our masters.

By the way, the Ocean Group has sent a lot of books on the art of war, and they have also sent people to study them. ”

............

At the mouth of the Skull River, three steel battleships slowly appeared. Countless people on the shore came to see them off.

After leaving the port, the battleship did not immediately go north, but planned to first break into the interior of the sea for hundreds of kilometers until it completely got out of the master's field of vision, and then turned north.

In this way, on the one hand, it is to prevent the sniping of the Holy Fire Cult in the north, and on the other hand, it also adds to its own mystery, and by the way, it shows the power of the steel battleship.

Now the estuary is not calm, and a large number of sea monsters are gathered.

And the three steel battleships rushed into the monster herd in this way, opening the way with artillery and depth charges. Brutally smashed into the boundless ocean demon beasts, tore the demon spells released by countless demon beasts, and disappeared into the sky. The crazy attack of the sea monster beast couldn't make the battleship deviate from its course.

The height of the battleship was only three or two meters, but it broke through the waves of more than ten meters all the way, looming in the monstrous waves, and gradually drifted away.

On the shore, Hua Baixiang was suspended in the air, listening to the faint roar in the distance, looking at the tumbling sea, and I was stunned for a while. After a while, he slowly took a deep breath and sighed: "It's magnificent!"

Huang Shao, who stayed next to him, seized the opportunity and said: "Senior, our steel battleships can also be sold to the outside world. ”

"Hehe......" Hua Baixiang did not speak. Your steel battleships are asking for too much, take us for fools. We don't need steel battleships here for the time being, so we might as well put this price into ground combat.

............

When Dugu Junjie and his party began to return, Ninghe County and Changshan Town, the test of Beidou Academy was underway.

Before I knew it, it was past noon, and all the parents were staring at the sky. In the sky, there is a phantom array projection of almost 100 meters, showing the situation inside.

Seven or eight-year-old children are fighting for their future. Only a few hours have passed, and there are already some children who are clearly not able to catch up.

There is a five-kilometer journey from the Beidou Academy to the peak of the ultimate goal, and it is still a mountain road along the way, which is not easy to walk.

Some of the children sat down as they walked, and some even started crying. But some children don't cry or make a fuss even if they fall, and keep going.

Some children are so engrossed in games that they forget their purpose, but there are also children who are not addicted to games.

Some children will study the difficult games until they solve them or they really can't do it, so they give up and move on. Others, however, retreat in the face of difficulties, choose the next goal, and keep moving forward.

Noon passed, but noon was not provided with lunch. Some children start to struggle but don't give up, gritting their teeth and persevering, while others start crying and don't move forward.

The screening of more than 12,000 children is not a trivial matter, and Dayang Group has dispatched a large number of personnel to protect the safety of children.

If you are sure that the child is exhausted, or completely demoralized, or crying too much, you will go in and carry them out, serve them a good meal and drink, and send them home with a smile - you have been eliminated.

But under Zhang Hao's instructions, the staff will not directly say the word elimination, only that your parents are waiting for you to go home. So most of the children threw themselves into the arms of their parents with gloomy faces. I don't know what kind of opportunity they missed.

But when more than 2,000 children were eliminated, the crowd finally began to stir again, and some questioned the test.

Zhang Hao had to stand up again, "It is said that three-year-olds look older than seven-year-olds, and seven-year-olds can see the nature of a child because they don't understand human feelings!"

Those who are unswerving, even if they have bad qualifications, we will accept them. God rewards hard work, and for children who know how to work hard, we will provide them with a chance to succeed.

For those who are particularly smart, especially those who like to study, we will accept them to learn the knowledge of Dayang Group and teach them the knowledge of formations, magic weapons, alchemy, etc.

Those who are just away, we will train them to become business talents.

And those who are particularly good, we will focus on cultivating. In the future, maybe some of them will be able to enter the god transformation stage!

Ladies and gentlemen, the university's tests are carefully considered, and each test has a purpose.

As for those who have not passed the test, don't be discouraged, now Dayang Group and Zhangjia, as well as Dayang Group's partners, etc., have plans to recruit apprentices, and you can also sign up.

Doing an apprenticeship in the Ocean Group also has an upward path.

At present, we have formulated a three-level nine-grade craftsman system. There are three levels: workers, technicians and engineers. As long as you can be a worker, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking. If you can become an engineer, you also have the opportunity to cultivate to the primordial infant stage and even the god transformation stage.

As long as you continue to strive for self-improvement, as long as you don't give up, Dayang Group will provide you with an upward channel.

Let me tell you a fact.

The chief engineer of the steel battleship has not yet been repaired. To be exact, it is only at the tenth level of the Qi refining period now, and it is not yet the Great Perfection.

The person in charge of artillery technology is also the tenth layer of the gas refining period.

Now the person in charge of train technology is also a cultivator during the gas refining period.

The person in charge of the special dark iron and steel for alchemy, cultivation is also in the Qi refining period!"

Crash......

Everyone was in an uproar, this was the first time everyone knew about the situation of the Zhang family, it was really shocking. Could it have been the Qi Refining Period that created the current prosperity?

Finally, Zhang Hao emphasized again: "As long as you don't give up, the Zhang family and Dayang Group will open the door for you." Ladies and gentlemen, the land of Qixia has endured thousands of years of suffering, why can we still rise?

Because, we have the greatest wealth:

Continual self-improvement!

I believe that this quality has been deeply imprinted in the soul of each and every one of us. ”

Zhang Hao's words were mighty, and many children who were testing also heard them. Some of the children seemed to have a firm look in their eyes, and they vaguely understood something.
