Chapter 70: The Shipmaster
The two of them continued to walk forward, and after about a thousand zhang, they saw a huge gap nearly 100 zhang high. Almost all of the earth fire in the third layer flowed into this extremely wide opening.
In front of the gap, dozens of armorers dressed in pitch-black armor and surrounded by cold air lined up and guarded the gap. These guards had a strong aura, and Fang Yun felt it, the aura of these people was still above the ordinary forbidden army. And with a strange aura.
"These people are actually at the realm of the sixth rebirth!"
Fang Yun was secretly frightened, a martial artist at the level of a living fetus, if he was put in the army, he was directly at the level of a captain, and his subordinates could lead tens of thousands of armor soldiers, and he was a real master in the army. And here there is a row, or stand guard for people, it's really a big show!
"Inside the gap, it should be the three building boat masters on the mountain. ”
Fang Yun thought in his heart. Inside the gap, there was a sound of dragons and tigers roaring from time to time, and from a distance, Fang Yun felt three breaths, like turning over the river and the sea, giving people a great majesty. The strongest of them is even more powerful than the Great General!
"These three building ship masters are so strong. I'm afraid it's all above the realm of rebirth! With such strength, it's no wonder that the black-bearded general said that the real people in charge of the mountain are these building ship masters. ”
Fang Yun was secretly shocked by the strength of the Ship Master.
"Stop!"
Seeing Fang Yun and his party approaching, a leader of the armor soldiers strode out, crossed his hand, and said coldly: "This is a forbidden place in the mine, idle people are not allowed to approach, leave immediately!"
Before Fang Yun could speak, Wu Wei blushed and shouted roughly:
"What do you mean by idle people, etc.? I'm blinding your dog's eyes, and you don't want to look at who is standing in front of you? The son of the Quartet Hou Fang Yin, the little Hou Ye Fang Yun!"
"Don't talk about the little Hou Ye, it's useless even if the Hou Ye comes!"
The leader of the armor said coldly.
"You! You are a dog-minion with a mouse eye, you are really bold! Our little marquis is the first place in this year's Lantern Festival civil and military competition. Even Wu Mu and Sangong were alarmed, and they all issued a ceremony to be accepted as disciples. Such a character, even if the Governor sees it, he must be polite, you little dog minion, even if you dare to speak disrespectfully!"
Wu Weihu pretended to be a tiger and shouted loudly. These armor soldiers usually rely on the support of three building boat masters, and one by one they are above the top, and no one pays attention to them. Wu Wei had suffered losses before, and this time it was rare to rely on Fang Yun as a backer, and he was tough.
"Wu Mu!" Dozens of fetal-level armor soldiers heard this, their hearts shook one by one, and when they looked at Fang Yun again, they no longer had that arrogance, and they became a lot more respectful.
"It turned out to be the little marquis, and the villain was disrespectful. I hope that the little marquis will not be surprised. ”
The leader of the armor bowed down and said cautiously.
"It's okay," Fang Yun waved his hand and said indifferently: "I want to go in and visit the three masters, see if you can report it." ”
A soldier showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Little Hou Ye, it's not that you don't agree." The three masters have already passed down the word, and recently the construction of the building ship has entered a critical moment, even if the governor comes, he can't put it in. Villain ......"
"If that's the case, forget it. ”
Fang Yun naturally didn't have the same knowledge as him, and the other party immediately said that he couldn't even go in with the governor, so it was definitely not good. Fang Yun would not be stupid enough to stalk and do some useless work.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the governors of each state were generally at the rank of princes, and they had to be the best and most qualified princes in the royal family to be eligible to serve as governors of each state. The three shipmasters actually let go, and even the Governor came and couldn't let them in. Its status and power can be seen.
A simple sentence gave Fang Yun the most intuitive understanding of these building masters. The power of the building boat master alone is already so heavy, and there is a lot of heavenly work on the building ship master. Isn't that the power of those heavenly works even more terrifying!
Fang Yun glanced up at the top of the gap, and nearly a hundred zhang from the ground, a huge yīn shadow of the eaves boat swept past the top of the gap. A majestic, heavy aura emanated from that cluster of yīn shadows!
"This should be the navigation weapon of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the steel building ship. ”
Fang Yun had an understanding in his heart. The corner that sticks out, like the corner of the eaves, should be the bow of the ship. Fang Yun tried his best to see the end of the building boat clearly. However, after looking from the bottom to the top, I explored hundreds of zhang, but I still couldn't see the end of the bow of this building boat.
A strange feeling rose in Fang Yun's heart, the unfinished steel building ship in the distance, like a prehistoric giant beast, quietly entrenched there, made the people who saw it couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance in their hearts.
"After the completion of this steel building ship, I am afraid that it will not be thousands of zhang high, like a mountain. The hull is so large, but the exit from the belly of the mountain is small. I don't know how to transport it out after it is built? Will it break through the top of the mountain?"
Fang Yun secretly thought in his heart, Liangzhou was still far from the sea. It stands to reason that a huge building ship should never be built in the belly of a mountain.
"Wu Wei, let's go. ”
Fang Yun retracted his gaze, called out to Wu Wei, turned around and left. Although Lou Chuan couldn't see the whole picture, he saw a corner and said to Fang Yun, and it was okay.
This visit to the mountainside was specially proposed by Fang Yun to Li Yu. It was just a simple single trip, which made Fang Yun deeply understand the special status of the Ministry of Industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had tens of millions of heroes and was invincible on land. However, such a heroic teacher, when he arrived on the boundless sea, was like a trembling sea, and he was powerless to do it.
The sea is vast, hundreds or thousands of times larger than the land area. The vast waves, not to mention hundreds of billions of pours.
On the sea, the weather changes, and the big waves can roll up thousands of feet, not to mention. Under the surface of the sea, there are fierce and ruthless sea tribes, these sea tribes are very different from each other, they can stir up wind and waves, drive away huge sea beasts, not to mention, the strong ones can also control thunder and lightning. In order to conquer the overseas famine, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not know how many armor soldiers died. It wasn't until later that the Ministry of Industry built a huge steel building ship, which changed the situation.
These steel buildings are thousands of feet high and weigh tens of millions of tons. If you put it in the sea, no matter how big the waves are, you can't overturn it. The sailors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were almost all supported by the steel building ships built by the Ministry of Industry.
"Little Hou Ye, in fact, as long as we use some means, we can still get in!"
On the way back, Wu Wei still chattered.
"No need," Fang Yun said lightly. The so-called seeing a leaf and knowing the meaning of autumn, peeking at a glimpse and knowing the whole leopard, and seeing a corner of the building ship is enough! After entering, it is nothing more than the scene of the building boat master building the building boat.
For Fang Yun, all he needed now was to build a pair of armor for use in the army.
In the smelting area in the belly of the mountain, there is only one entrance and one exit, both of which lead to the ground. Moments later, the two walked out of the belly of the mountain.
On the main peak of zhōngyāng, thick smoke billowed and the earth fire gushed out from the ground, crisscrossing the surface of the earth, forming a large net. The dense Dading is suspended in these igneous rock flows.
Next to each copper tripod, there is a soldier and a soldier. The dense figure stood on the top of the mountain, listening to the lecture of the Blackbeard General that Fang Yun had seen once:
“...... , throw the iron ingot into the big ding, and let the earth fire melt. The purpose of this step is to further refine these iron ingots. Remove the impurities and purify them from miscellaneous iron to jīng iron. These jīng iron are the material of the armor you wear. ”
"After the iron blooms and melts, it is a hundred refinements. The so-called hundred refinements are for ordinary craftsmen. It is a hundred days of continuous beating, and each day is a refinement. After 100 refining, it is 100 steelmaking. But we warriors don't have to be so troublesome. When our martial artists build it, when they use their true qi, gang qi, and aura, it is equivalent to ten, fifteen, and twenty times that of ordinary people. But don't think it's so easy, it takes at least hundreds of catties of steel to build a pair of armor, and you can build more than ten catties a day at most. Therefore, even if you reach the aura level, it will take at least fifty days to prepare a pair of armor for a hundred refining iron. That's more than a month of hard work......"
"Ahh
"Isn't it just for show?"
......
Before General Blackbeard finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. According to what Li Yu said, they originally thought that they would only need to stay for more than ten days, but now it seems that it will take at least a month.
"Quiet!" General Blackbeard shouted angrily, his voice was like thunder: "The training of the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually to extract iron ingots from ore, then make them into 100 steel steel, and finally forge their own armor. That's what you're here to do in the mines. Now that the imperial court has exempted you from the process of mining, this is already a great favor. If anyone is wordy, Lao Tzu will immediately send him back to the ore area and dig enough ore!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on the top of the mountain, and everyone stopped talking. Now everyone wants to return to the capital, and if they are kicked back to the mining area, it will be more than worth the loss.
