Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan, and several others were soon transferred to the house of Master Suraj, and it was said that Master Suraj had a silk business to discuss with the Han Chinese.

When Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan saw this army of sturdy blacks in the cellar, they were mixed with joy.

Happily, these soldiers are really strong, they have never seen such tall and mighty, and they can't see their black facial features clearly, and it's hard to tell who is who. If this is on the battlefield, especially in the Central Plains, the soldiers on the opposite side may be scared to death.

The worry is that these black brothers can't understand a word of the local dialect they speak. How can this be commanded?

Nanhua also saw this problem, so he summarized some of the local dialects of the black buddies, marked the pronunciation in Chinese, and compiled a few pages of the book. He used a piece of straw paper sold for nothing, compiled it into a book, and copied a few copies with a charcoal pen, and gave it to Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan, and their four retinues.

Soon, the problem of command was solved, and Nanhua could finally get a good night's sleep.

After a few more days, the new ship was completely completed. The long-awaited craftsmen have all been paid, and the day of departure is approaching. A few days earlier, Nanhua had already sent an expedited horse to send a reply to Suraj, informing him that the spacecraft was about to depart soon.

The selection of people to go to the expedition must be decided, and not everyone is suitable for the expedition. As a national teacher himself, he had to stay in Peshawar to stabilize the situation because his every move involved all forces in the Kushan country.

Spirits can't go, neither can they cry. The reason was that Nanhua would not let him go, how could he go to the battlefield at such a young age? If there was something wrong, how could he explain it to his master Zhang Daoling.

The candidates for the expedition are: Zhang Bai, Mu Jing, Zhu Zhu, Chen Cao, Zheng Sui, Ma Ge, Qing Chi, six people and one beast. In addition, there were four Shu army retinues and fifteen black mercenaries.

The name of the spaceship was also given, and the first ship built in Yingshan Daiyue was named "Zero" by Zhang Bai.

The Zero was relatively small, and it carried a large amount of building wood, which Zhang Bai felt was cumbersome. During the shipbuilding period, most of the timber was unloaded and transported to the cellar of Suraj's mansion again and again by horse-drawn carriage.

He kept some of them, and sharpened them into twenty spear tips, which Ma Ge equipped with spear shafts, and gave them all to his retinue and mercenaries.

With the weight reduced, it is possible for the Zero to fly faster.

The powertrain has also been improved, although the wind charm has not been completely eliminated, but a human-powered foot-driven propeller has now been added.

Of course, this is made by Zhang Bai, which is a variation from the concept of a bicycle and also uses a chain drive. He had already thought about this improvement, and it wasn't until in Peshawar that he gathered all the materials he needed. Ma Ge made a skeleton that was easier to understand but took effort according to the drawings, and Zhang Bai specialized in marble bearings and chains.

The footrest was arranged at the stern, and he also added a steering wheel there, which was the stern rudder, to facilitate the ship's quick turn.

Zero's speed and agility have increased, so it is safe to let it go.

Another new spaceship was secretly named "Apostle" by Zhang Bai, because he privately felt that the spaceship was an army, a bit like an ancient version of the "Human Completion Plan". So if there is a third ship, it must be the second apostle Lilith.

Mu Jing was unaware of these two names, and hurriedly asked Zhang Bai where he came from. Zhang Bai changed the plot of the anime and said that it was a myth of the Western Regions that he had heard, and Mu Jing listened to it quite vigorously.

The Apostle is much larger than the Zero, and can fit 80 people at full capacity. Therefore, a large number of retinues and mercenaries were placed, and Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan, who were the commanders, of course, had to be arranged on it.

The commander-in-chief is Zhang Bai, the pigs he brings can be scouted, and there is "hydrogen **" available, so it naturally has to be placed in the main direction of attack.

Zero was handed over to Mu Jing to command, and she took Ma Ge and Qingchi, as well as a lot of food, medicine and other materials as backup.

On this day, Nanhua came to the construction site under the pretense of launching a new ship and needed to pray for blessings. In fact, it is to cast a spell to "transmit the sound into the secret". Seeing that we are about to set off, we have finally gathered all the manpower, and this is the last chance.

This technique belongs to the sound technique, and it is not difficult to learn it by yourself, just spend some effort. If you want to reach the level of casting spells on others, you need to be realm and cultivation.

Zhang Bai is Nanhua's apprentice and has learned it before, so he doesn't need Nanhua to cast spells. Others receive the Dharma in turn, and each person cultivates differently and takes a different amount of time.

The cultivation of Mu Jing was almost a matter of an instant, but it took Chen Yu and Zheng Xuan half an hour together. As soon as the spell was over, the two of them shouted in shock, and they fell to the ground in favor of Nanhua, thinking that they were heavenly beings.

This transmission also has the advantage of being able to switch automatically according to the speaker's will, and there is a slight hum when transmitting.

Zhang Bai felt that this was the prompt sound, reminding that the transmission was going on, and then as long as he opened his mouth softly to speak, all the people who entered the secret could hear it clearly.

It's so convenient.

The only problem is the scope of sound transmission, which is also related to the cultivation of each person.

Nanhua and Mu Jing are immortals, and the range is unusually large, and there is no problem within twenty or thirty miles. Brother Ma is at the level of a night envoy, and the sound transmission is about seven or eight miles, a little farther than Zhang Bai. Zhang Bai approached Jindan, and he could spread about five or six miles. And Qingchi has just started to cultivate, so he can only be like Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan, and he can only spread it for about a mile.

One mile is 500 meters, which is still not enough distance for the Air Force.

For example, if you want to attack the Imperial Palace, if the spacecraft hovers over a place 500 meters away from the Imperial Palace, plus the distance of the spacecraft from the ground, then it is just beyond the range of the transmission of General Chen Zheng and Qing Chi.

In this way, the commander gives an order, and even if the person receiving the order hears the order, he cannot reply, and the commander can only rely on blind guesswork.

However, it's already quite good, and you can't ask people from the Three Kingdoms era to make mobile phones!

The next night, Zhang Bai decided to set off while it was dark.

On the surface of the Indus River, several reconnaissance boats are still moored downstream not far from the construction site.

They toiled, exposed to the sun and rain, and only secretly changed a group of people to board the ship at night. I constantly supervised 24 hours a day, but I never imagined that a good big ship would not go on the water.

Zero's familiar path quickly rose into the air. The Apostle was also rising little by little, and Zhang Bai was a little nervous.

Because he usually needs to avoid surveillance, he has not conducted even one test flight before, and he is afraid that there will be a case.

Fortunately, the apostle was very competitive and gradually caught up.

"Looks like the speed of lift-off is a bit slow?" Zhang Bai thought as he observed. In fact, it is normal, the Apostle is much larger than the Zero remodeled with a barge, and at this time there are more than 20 people in the belly of the ship, plus two war horses of Chen Zheng and the others.

If the weight is large, the spacecraft that lifts off by airbags will inevitably move more slowly.

But the speed! hehe! Zhang Bai laughed slyly.

In view of the fact that on the way out of Yingshan, Mu Jing needed to keep writing and changing talismans, and the speed of the Zero spacecraft was still very slow.

He learned his lesson and loaded the big ship with four pedal drive propellers in one go.

Halfway through the take-off of the spacecraft, he gave an order: "Full speed ahead!"

The spaceship sped up suddenly. It tilted upwards and rose into the clouds like an airplane taking off. There was an exclamation of admiration on the Zero, a frightened exclamation on the Apostle, many people were caught off guard, fell to the ground and couldn't get up, not falling, mostly frightened!
