A faint fragrance drifted in, and my nose was itchy with my hair.

Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned, but the process did not last long. Mo Yun quickly opened the distance again and smiled generously, "Then I'll be disrespectful."

So is this a passionate scientific researcher?

Xia Fan suddenly felt like he was regarded as a brother by the other party.

He laughed in silence. It is true... Once she talks about the situation on weekdays, Mo Yun ignored other things. In addition to the experience of running away from the Mo family, she probably regarded herself as a man.

It is completely understandable to make such a move while being excited.

However, the guards and personnel from the Mechanical Bureau next to them all showed shocked expressions.

"Is this immortal art related to light?" Mo Yun seemed to ignore the eyes of others and continued the previous topic.

"It is light in theory, and it is a very special kind of light." Xia Fan nodded, "But the specific situation is still determined by the experiment."

If we talk about it in general, light is actually a type of electromagnetic wave - the narrow sense of light refers to the frequency that the human eye can perceive, while the invisible ones can be regarded as light in a broad sense from infrared rays to ultraviolet rays, and even ionizing radiation.

If Jiuyou Fire is really a kind of strong radiation as he guessed, then it must be short in wavelength, high frequency, and extremely high penetration ability.

However, there are still many confusions in this immortal art talisman, and without full understanding, it is impossible to use magic alone. In other words, he needs to understand the ideas of immortal arts and supplement it with a guide material like a copper wire pendant, so that the technique may take effect. In addition, the high-energy rays are full of risks, so he is not sure whether it can succeed.

Xia Fan thought, maybe he had to find another safe place to conduct relevant research.

...

After the New Year, the pace of construction of Jinxia City not only did not slow down at all, but entered a new peak. In order to accommodate more people, the Bureau of Affairs has begun to demolish the southern city wall. For cities of this era, building tall and thick city walls is a helpless compromise on security. When the space in the city is exhausted, houses will spread along the countryside outside the wall, forming a low shanty town.

There are obviously many disadvantages of doing so.

If we could live in the city, no one would want to settle in the suburbs. This idea would allow residents to spontaneously build houses, occupying the passage space, and making urban planning a piece of paper.

At the same time, facilities outside the city will definitely not be connected to the city, and those who cannot squeeze in will not have the energy to build a unified drainage and sewage pipeline network. As long as the time goes by, the shanty towns outside the city will definitely have sewage flowing, stenches, and are extremely odorous, which are very easy to breed bacteria. Bad luck will also lead to plagues.

Finally, there is a sense of belonging... No matter how hard the publicity vent works, those who live under the shadow of the city wall and go out are hard to see themselves as residents of Jinxia City, let alone show their ownership. This is definitely a hidden danger for Jinxia, ​​who is in a period of rapid rise and urgently needs outsiders to introduce population.

Therefore, Xia Fan refused to oppose the opposition and decided to open a new open space in the south, with the house construction specifications exactly the same as those in the city's residential area. If this planned area can be fully utilized, the land area of ​​Jinxia City can be more than doubled. In addition to Gaoshan Town, the mountainous and forest areas will be in the south, and the possibility of being attacked by a large army is not high. Based on these two conditions and the princess' consistent support, this plan was finally passed.

So the residents of Jinxia City saw a new landscape - the tall and mighty Xuanwu organ beast took on the task of dismantling and transporting. After these organs were equipped with professional wall dismantling accessories, their work efficiency was more than a hundred times higher than that of hoes and shovels in the past.

The bricks and stones that originally repaired the city walls have also become the best road construction materials and are expected to be more than enough for use in the entire new urban area.

Of course, Xia Fan did not intend to demolish all the city walls on the south. He planned to leave half of the sea close to the sea as a ruin, and maybe it could become a cultural heritage in a thousand years.

The captured Nata Ting fleet was also dragged to the shore and the elves began to be repaired.

Except for the three sea ships whose keels were damaged and hard to reuse, other ships could basically continue to use them after filling in the cracks. The elf tree species are easy to repair the wooden hulls. In just a few days, two single-layer three-massed fly-scissors were re-launched.

The princess also took the opportunity to split a part of her manpower and set up her own marine guards.

Jinxia City expanded its territory outside the East Beach for the first time.

Although wooden sailboats have various defects, the iron production in the entire Shenzhou area is only a little bit, and it is undoubtedly a bit difficult to build an iron fleet. What's more, even the seemingly thin brig ship, the keel and rib wood need to be air-dried for more than one year, and the processing and assembly time is between two and three years. As for the Imperial flagship with three-layer artillery deck, it takes more than a hundred years of oak wood to be made. The so-called century-old navy is extended from here.

If Jin Xia was allowed to build from scratch, Xia Fan would definitely not be interested, but just like artillery, the things given for free would be completely different - a sea power with one class one and two ships, plus ten auxiliary ships of different specifications, is already a powerful army that cannot be ignored in this sea area.

Besides, these ships can be transformed.

How to stuff them into movable meters and propellers, and remove the front and rear masts to install rotatable turrets on the deck have been included in the Machinery Bureau's research schedule.

With troops that can penetrate the sea, Jinxia City can ensure that future maritime trade will not be intercepted.

A month later, several sea boats suddenly appeared in the East China Sea.

The people in the city noticed that the ships that came this time did not arouse the vigilance and guarding of Jinxia City as before.

They slowly docked by the dock, and unexpectedly, His Royal Highness herself appeared outside the East City Wall, looking as if she was welcoming each other's arrival.

News soon spread across the streets.

This fleet comes from the Kingdom of Evil Horses across the ocean.

...

Shangyuan City, within the imperial palace.

Ning Qianshi was looking at the eaves and was in a daze. The sound of water drizzling outside the greenhouse was endless, but it was not the sound of rain falling, but the movement of snow on the roof. The snow water flowed down layer by layer along the tiles, and a sparse water curtain was drawn by the eaves.

It was not until Fei Nian entered the greenhouse that the quietness was broken.

"Your Highness, according to the spy's report, the official road connecting the north and south has partially returned to the open, and there are still many muddy places, but it is only hindered by driving, so you can trek with your feet."

Ning Qianshi had never felt that the past snow period was as long as this year, but fortunately it was finally over.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case... let's start as planned."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Fei Nian bowed.

After the other party left, he turned his gaze back to the distant south.

Whether it’s the royal girl or Xia Fan…

It's time to end the farce.
Chapter completed!
