The development of the Ocean Group and the country of Qixia, especially this bumper harvest, stimulated Nangong Zhi a little.

Nangong Zhi pointed to the map, or the navigation chart, and said loudly: "Everyone, time is running out! This time I went to the Ocean Group, do you know what I saw?"

In the dockyard, the Ocean Group is building 10 warships at the same time!

At the same time, 10 ships, 5 10,000-ton ships, and 5 20,000-ton ships. To be exact, five 15,000-ton and five 25,000-ton warships.

Among these ten warships, there are two Iron Duke-class and one Zhenyuan-class, that is, a 20,000-ton warship, which belongs to the Xuanzhen Sect.

The Xuanzhen Sect originally traded ten Iron Duke-class warships with the Ocean Group. This time, they converted two of the Iron Duke-class ships into one Zhenyuan-class battleship.

There is also an Iron Duke class and a Zhenyuan class that belong to the country of Qixia.

The remaining two Iron Duke class and three Zhenyuan-class belong to the Ocean Group itself. ”

"That is, after about a month, the main fleets at sea, are:

First, the ocean fleet of the Ocean Group, with four Zhenyuan-class ships and six Iron Duke-class.

Second, the Weihai fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect, one Zhenyuan-class and seven other Iron Duke-class.

Third, the pearl fleet of the country of Qixia, one Zhenyuan-class, four Iron Duke-class.

Fourth, the Thunder Fleet of the Land of Canglan, three Iron Duke-class, plus a large number of warships.

Fifth, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Land of Langya, two Iron Duke class, plus a large number of warships.

In addition, it is rumored that the country of Langya has mastered the basic, Xuantetsu battleship crafting techniques. And because the black iron technology has spread now, the technical threshold is much lower.

It is foreseeable that in the future, all the seaside countries will enter an unprecedented era of great exploration!

The prospect of the Age of Discovery can be seen through the Ocean Group: the net profit of a ship sailing is as high as tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones. Although the price of each ship is as high as 60 million, or even more, it can be recouped in half a year, or at most a year, as long as it takes a few voyages!

And the profitability of one ship and one voyage is more than the total tax revenue of the whole country!"

The generals' breathing was short, and their eyes were red. This is not only about the future of the country, but also about their own interests - since the economic unification began to take effect, since Zhang Hao brought a new social system, these generals and officials know that they need to do business in the future.

But now, what could be better than sailing!

Then, everyone's eyes shifted to the south of the map of the Fertile Continent. There, it's the country of Langya!

Although the current country of Langya has a sea fleet, its land power has been weakened to the limit! And the best direction for the country of Shaoze to break through is the country of Langya.

The country of Langya has a coastline of 6,000 miles. This made the country of Shaoze greedy!

Fang Rong suddenly spoke: "General, how about we unite with the Canglan Country, we don't need much, as long as we can get one-third of the territory of the Langya Country, it is enough." Of course, more natural is better.

We and the country of Canglan belong to the category of Xuanzhen Sect, and the country of Langya has now taken refuge in the Xiaoyao faction.

We will unite to attack the country of Langya, and we can also tear out the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect behind our backs. In this way, we can fight with confidence. The battle on the master's side is carried by the Xuanzhen Sect.

And we can negotiate with the Xuanzhen Sect, and after occupying the country of Langya, we can leave a port for the Xuanzhen Sect. As for the Surabaya port in the middle, this is the first port in the country of Langya, and it is in the center, just for the Xuanzhen Sect. ”

Nangong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened, "But there is a problem, we are in ruins now, if we continue to fight......"

"General, we are tired, but the country of Langya is even more tired. And there is another point, the country of Langya has a strong heritage, if we wait for us to develop, the country of Langya will inevitably also develop. That's when it's hard!

Now that the Age of Exploration has begun to emerge, we cannot be trapped on land! General, we must seize the tail of the times at this time and develop towards the sea!

As for the domestic withering, it's very simple. This expedition to the south...... After breaking the city, don't seal the sword! Raise the war with war! Use the wealth of the country of Langya to reward the soldiers!"

In the end, there was already a cold flash in Fang Rong's eyes.

Nangong Zhi's fingers tapped on the table, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded slowly, "Fang Rong, you immediately send an envoy to the country of Canglan!

I personally went to the Xuanzhen Sect to pay a visit.

The country of Shaoze has been unified, and it is necessary to inform the Xuanzhen Sect in both way and reasonably. Please recognize our country. ”

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

At the same time, here in the country of Langya, the monarchs and ministers of the country of Langya are also discussing the matter of the Great Voyage.

The success of Dayang Group and the glory of the country of Qixia have undoubtedly stung the country of Langya.

At this time, the northern land of Langya was invaded by the country of Shaoze for 800 miles, and the western land was occupied by the country of Canglan for another 1,000 li, and the land shrank by one-third, and the whole country already had some signs of danger.

Under such circumstances, the success of the Ocean Group and the country of Qixia has undoubtedly made the country of Langya, which has always relied on the sea, feel the breath of an era.

An unprecedented, super-Age of Discovery.

In the court, Zong Bi, the prime minister of the country of Langya, was analyzing: "Now, there is the earth circle first, and there are steel warships and great voyages. And the success of the Ocean Group and the Land of Qixia, as well as the participation of the Xuanzhen Sect, are undoubtedly releasing a signal:

A new era, a new age of discovery, has emerged.

The first great voyage was about 30,000 years ago, when the seven continents on the earth were connected to each other, and the world has been in existence since then.

After 30,000 years, a new Age of Discovery has arrived.

This time, we use steel battleships as carriers to pierce the open sea. And the victory of the combined fleet of the Ocean Group, the Land of Qixia, and the Xuanzhen Sect is an important symbol.

With the help of the Iron Battleship, even the mighty sea monsters, even the dangerous open seas, can't stop us from moving forward. ”

"The only problem now is: It is our enemy who initiated this great voyage! Although we now have some contacts with the Ocean Group, this connection is very fragile, and the Ocean Group can turn its face at any time. And we...... But he is not qualified to turn his face.

Your Majesty, and all of you, this is a very dangerous sign. ”

The Emperor of the Kingdom of Langya slowly got up, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly turned his head and asked the Maritime Governor next to him: "Lin Qian, how is the research of our 'Xuantie Battleship'?"

"Your Majesty, we are trying to produce a 5,000-ton Xuantie battleship. The technical information purchased from the Ocean Group is basically thorough. Even the steam turbine, we copied it successfully, and the effect was very good.

The steam turbine we are making now can reach the output power of 0.3 yuan, which is still far from the technology of Dayang Group. But I'm sure we'll be able to catch up soon. ”

The Emperor asked: "What is the power of the steam turbine of the Dayang Group?"

"A single-seat steam turbine is equivalent to the power of 1.5 yuan infants. ”

The Great Emperor frowned, but still nodded slightly: "Yes, continue to work hard, the Dayang Group today is not achieved overnight."

Build the first successful Darkiron battleship as soon as possible. This is not only a domestic expectation, but also an expectation of the free-spirited.

Tell all the craftsmen that as long as the sea trial is successful, each person will be rewarded with at least 1,000 high-grade spirit stones, and they will be awarded the title of baron and the good land of Baitian!

This is a heavy reward!, but you can also see the anxiety in the emperor's heart.

Compared to the country of Canglan, the damage of the steel battleships in the country of Langya can only be repaired by itself - it is too expensive to buy steel from the Ocean Group, so that several damaged parts of the warships of the country of Langya can only be repaired with black iron. Strength, naturally, is far from enough.

Now, relying on two steel warships to compete with the three steel warships of the country of Canglan, the country of Langya is very difficult. In particular, the steel battleships of the country of Langya were originally 'unfinished'. In the superstructure, there are not only rooms, etc., but also some simple sighting devices.

The haste of the procurement at the beginning, coupled with the deliberate efforts of the Dayang Group, did cause these gaps.

Don't look at a simple sighting device, but it's crucial. At the very least, it can increase the hit rate by more than three times, which invisibly opens up the attack density and combat effectiveness.

The country of Langya is still discussing, but it doesn't know that a catastrophe is coming.
