In an instant, the hall was shocked.

Li Xian's chopsticks fell to the ground, and finally he remained a little calmer, "Tell me clearly!"

Zhou Hongwang explained it clearly in a few words, and finally added: "The traffic has been restored and the people have disappeared. Now the police are investigating the situation."

The first time Li Xian encountered such a situation, he was a little at a loss for a moment, so he naturally had to ask Xu Ren, Li Yuanming and others for help.

Zhao Ming, the prince of Zhao State, stood up at this time, "Brother Li, why not visit the shipyard? "

Li Xian thought about it, but shook his head, "Try to do what I promised. Besides, what I can do when the teacher was kidnapped is actually to leave it to the right person to investigate, and it will not delay the afternoon arrangement."

As he said that, Li Xian turned to Zhou Hongwang, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. The first kidnapping incident in the Shang Kingdom actually kidnapped my teacher. It's great.

In addition, Chen Jinbing ordered the military to assist in the investigation.

Also, inform Ling Zhifeng to see if he could find clues through divination and other methods.

In addition, immediately issue a reward and mercenary mission, and call on the whole people to investigate comprehensively!”

"Yes." Chen Jinbing immediately went busy.

A moment later, the entire Shang Kingdom was alarmed, and someone actually kidnapped the teacher who kidnapped the Xianwang in broad daylight. Although Sun Ming was just a jade worker of Li Xian, no matter what, when Li Xian saw Sun Ming, he always called "teacher". With this relationship, Sun Ming's kidnapping incident was extremely involved!

The teacher who kidnapped Li Xian was a provocation to the entire Shang Kingdom!

Not to mention Li Xian’s anger, even the people of the Shang Kingdom were extremely angry.

People are easily paralyzed and fooled, but it does not mean that people are numb. The reason why they are easily paralyzed and fooled is because they are "too kind" and are easily misled and exploited by those who are conscious.

But it is precisely because they are too kind that the people are very grateful. In the Shang Kingdom, when the people heard about this, they immediately acted spontaneously. They did not see any rewards or receive any mercenary tasks, but they also tried their best to contribute their strength.

Inquire about the news, check the past people, see if there are any strangers around you, etc. Don’t underestimate that every ordinary person has limited power, but when the people across the country do this, a huge net will be formed so that the sins will be left without escape.

In the sky, planes sprinkled leaflets to convey the matter to remote areas and to the newly conquered land.

At the same time, the Shang Kingdom also issued a national martial law order.

With martial law nationwide, not everything is stopped, but inspections are strengthened, especially traffic, accommodation, border aisles of various counties, etc. At the same time, there are also aircraft and other explorations in the sky.

However, in many cases, when facing cultivators with diverse means, such martial law is really limited. The world is vast and the land is vast and the people are sparse, so cultivators can leave the Shang Kingdom carefully without eating or drinking.

In fact, the people in Yang State were the same...the plan was that more than fifty people were all real elites. They were preparing to cross mountains and ridges along the way, not taking ordinary roads, get up early and go to bed late, and even plan to jump into the river to move invisibly.

Now, the people of Yang State are preparing to sneak out of the Shang Kingdom and gather in the Mangshan west of Jin State.

The people were divided into three ways, which could effectively interfere with the sight of the Shang Kingdom and cover each other.

When the Yang Kingdom was busy fleeing and the Shang Kingdom was martial law nationwide, Li Xian took the Prince of Zhao to the shipyard of the Brilliant Star Group.

It’s not that Li Xian is indifferent and does not pay attention to Sun Ming’s situation, but that Li Xian is very clear that even if he returns to the city lord’s mansion and sits, it will be useless. He can only do something anxious and even put pressure on his subordinates. This will cause bad things.

The most correct way is to throw things to your subordinates and keep them busy. Li Xian just needs to pay attention to the progress occasionally. The Shang Kingdom is now on the right track and there are countless capable people.

Standing at the door of the shipyard, Zhao Ming's eyes began to spin... There was no way, it was too shocking. Watching from a distance can compare to the shock of watching from a close distance.

Railways are endless, and trains pass by. Every train will bring a heavy roar, making people feel the majestic power, and even the earth trembles slightly under the roar.

The walls of the shipyard are higher than those of the capital of Zhao State. In order to prevent people, monsters and others from sneaking in, the shipyard is closed, and only the gate can be accessed in and out. The gate is actually cast from heavy steel, up to half a meter thick, and there is steel pipe support inside.

When Li Xian arrived, the steel gate as high as ten feet high slowly slid to both sides. The friction and low sound of the steel made Zhao Ming know that the steel gate was actually solid.

‘If these two gates are melted, they can create weapons and armor for tens of thousands of people!’ Zhao Ming subconsciously had this idea. Zhao is a big country, but it is precisely because Zhao is a big country with more troops and consumes more resources, especially the consumption of steel is the most severe.

Almost everything requires steel. Those who can use magic weapons are only a few elite troops such as the Imperial Army; while those who use magic weapons are only a few generals.

When the door opened, Zhao Ming was stunned again. He looked over and saw that the shipyard was simply a world of steel. The ground was hollowed out, and layers of steel frames formed a three-dimensional world of steel.

A shuttle bus in the yard was parked in front of Li Xian, and Li Xian and Zhao Ming were seated. There was a special staff member next to him explaining the overview of Zhao Ming, a sweet-looking girl.

"Hello, Your Highness, my name is Cheng Feifei, just call me Xiao Cheng.

The first thing we want to visit is the latest, third-generation warship assembly base. Now, there is a warship with a displacement of 350,000 tons being assembled."

Zhao Xianran did his homework: "I remember that the maximum displacement of your 30,000 tons of warship is 320,000 tons, right?"

Cheng Feifei explained slightly: "Your Highness remembers that it is true, but warships are not merchant ships, and each warship is made separately. In order to promote technological progress, we are always improving the technology of warships, whether it is the technology of warships themselves or shipbuilding technology.

New warships must be better than old warships. This is a hard standard.”

Zhao Ming silently wrote down, "So that's the case, no wonder the commercial shipyards are developing so fast."

Passing by the steel jungle, I came to the shipyard's assembly base. At first glance, a tall gantry lifting equipment stands like a jungle, and there are protective formations at high altitudes. The formations can prevent wind and rain, and also prevent snooping. In fact, the entire shipyard is protected by formations.

The shuttle car moved forward slowly, along the way were huge dry docks, with steel up to 100 meters shuttled over the sky, and the workers were also flying up and down. There were many Golden Pill stages working here. Occasionally, you could also see the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhao Ming was stunned and his eyes were not enough. Finally, the shuttle bus was parked next to a dry dock that looked like a dry lake. At this time, the dry dock was busy, and a large ship was lying quietly on the sleeper like a steel world.

Cheng Feifei explained: "This is a new warship under construction.

First of all, this dry dock is 560 meters long, 80 meters wide and 22 meters deep. After being connected to the sea, it can accommodate about 940,000 cubic meters of seawater.

There are three cranes above the dock, which can lift up to 8,000 tons.

There are 15 lifting arms next to them, each lifting arm can lift 1,600 tons.

Let’s talk about the current warship. The length of the warship under construction is 260 meters, which is two meters longer than the General in service. The width and draft depth have also changed slightly.

After completion, the warship is expected to be 14 meters high and has a deck area of ​​seven and a half acres.

In addition, the new warship adopts an updated driving method and an updated auxiliary array, and the navigation speed is expected to be improved to a certain extent.

The main artillery still uses a caliber of 460 mm; but the length of the barrel is appropriately increased, and the shooting distance is... Well, it is more than 30 kilometers anyway, and more cannot be determined for the time being because there has not been a test yet.

In addition, we have adopted the latest steel technology for this warship. This is a sample, Your Highness can take a look."

Cheng Feifei took out a small transparent glass box from her small bag and handed it to Zhao Ming with both hands.

Zhao Ming took it and opened the box. He saw ordinary steel. He didn't know what the difference was.

Cheng Feifei smiled slightly: "Your Highness uses true energy to try it. Ordinary steel can be shaped with true energy; but this piece of steel is difficult to shaped with true energy."

When Zhao Ming heard this, he immediately took action. The true energy surged out and wanted to immerse in the steel, but found that this piece of steel seemed to refuse the immersion of the true energy!

Zhao Ming tried several times and changed several methods and angles, all of which were like this. His expression gradually became solemn.

True energy can shape steel, and even many materials, such as stone. Although the shaping material is very fragile, it can always be shaping. This can provide a lot of convenience, including damage.

Under the action of true essence, many materials are like flour, and true essence is like water, completing the shape.

Now, this steel is like wax, and the true energy cannot be immersed in it, so it naturally cannot be shaped. Not only that, this steel can also isolate the spiritual exploration.

Zhao Ming is the prince, not an ordinary person who knows nothing. He immediately thought of the role of steel. "Insulation" of the true essence means that steel has "resistance"... Well, it should be called "spell immunity".

In other words, some of the freezing, heat, and the mutual generation and restraint effects brought by spells will be greatly reduced, and it will even be almost useless!

The most important thing is that such a "spell immunity" does not require the consumption of spiritual energy, true energy, spiritual consciousness, and formation maintenance! If you use such steel to create a soldier's weapon and armor...

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming tried his best to keep himself calm and asked, "How did this steel be refined?"

Cheng Feifei smiled, "Your Highness, the answer to this question is worth 3 billion taels of gold. This is the price set by Fang Shijing, Minister of Commerce of the Shang Kingdom and President of the Brilliant Star Group.

If Your Highness really wants to know, he may have to use additional negotiation methods."

When Zhao Ming heard this, his first reaction was: Shang Kingdom was crazy about money!

But then, Zhao Ming thought seriously! Of course, 3 billion taels of gold is a lot, and it is not enough to take out all the current flowing wealth of Zhao State. But if 3 billion taels of gold can be exchanged for the strength of the army and expand the territory, then... it is not impossible to consider it!

Yes, Zhao Ming had already thought that if spending 3 billion taels of gold could make Zhao's army and all the equipment "collective spell immunity", then 3 billion taels of gold should be considered a heart-warming price.

After all, Zhao State is a real big country. If you really want to grit your teeth, you can really take out 3 billion taels of gold!

Suddenly, a thought arose from Zhao Ming's heart: "If it weren't for being too far away from the Shang Kingdom, I really wanted to steal the Shang Kingdom! It would be enough for a hundred years to grab it!"

While thinking, a dull sound came out and saw a three-story turret hanging over by a vehicle, which happened to be a 460mm cannon. Looking at the 460mm caliber cannon at close range, looking at the top and bottom several floors, which are larger than ordinary buildings and more complex mechanical structures, Zhao Ming actually felt a trembling.

It was a trembling with artillery, a trembling with war machines like the giant steel ships, and a trembling with shipyards and the merchant kingdom.

Under this huge turret, people seem so small.

The workers next to them talked through gestures, voices, and some items that seemed to be "communication jade slips". The personnel were up and down, machines were constantly coming and going, and the turrets, steel, etc. were constantly being sent to the dock.

Suddenly, another dull sound came; when I turned around, I saw that this time, two cars were hanging a huge "elliptical cylindrical" object.

Cheng Feifei immediately explained: "This is a marine engine, and this is one of them. This engine is propelled with a 48-cylinder crankshaft, with a maximum output power of up to 90,000 horsepower. In other words, the machine in front of me, which is 40 meters long, 13 meters wide and 14 meters high can generate power of about 90,000 excellent war horses.

According to this design, this warship will house four sets of engines. The four engines work at the same time, eliminating transmission losses, etc., which theoretically can reach a thrust of 350,000 horsepower.

With the assistance of the waterproof formation, the new warship is expected to reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, but was a little shocked. Zhao Ming didn't feel anything at all at the speed of 250 kilometers per hour, but he just felt it was still too slow. But the 350,000 horsepower made Zhao Ming know in his heart.

At present, this huge engine can actually generate a power equivalent to 90,000 horsepower. An excellent war horse has almost ten times the physical strength of an ordinary person. In other words, the machine is almost equivalent to a million manpower at present!

A million people are crowded with people, and they are out of sight. If you want to manage a million people and take care of the lives of millions, it will be an unimaginable complex job and will consume unimaginable wealth.

But in comparison, this "small" machine now has such capabilities!

For the first time, Zhao Ming had a detailed concept of industry in his heart - one engine can generate about one million people's power. What if there were a hundred such engines? What if it was bigger? More...

Moreover, machines do not need food, complex management, will not get sick, will not rebel, and will not be stolen...

Zhao Ming's breathing was a little rapid for the first time.

In fact, Zhao Ming also understood that machines and industries cannot be evaluated in this way, but such a contrast is the most obvious, the most vivid, the most direct and the simplest.

Also, the most shocking!
Chapter completed!
