In Jiang Xingchen's plan, the black-robed people need to hide in Ah Hong Island for a long time and provide a steady stream of news. Therefore, the method of manipulating the black widow worm is milder and more similar to hypnosis, otherwise the side effects can be easily discovered. And this method was provided by the two black-clothed men who were responsible for raising insects on the isolated island, but they were not sure of the effect, this was the first time to use it, and the old man was originally careful and careful.

But when he heard the news of the treasure of the Great Shang Imperial Family, the old man couldn't help it, whether it was for Mei'er or for the future development of Xingchen Ling, this news was important enough. So he made a decision in an instant, and once the black-robed man came to his senses, he would take action to restrain the other party and take him away.

But who knew that at this pass, footsteps came from outside the wall. The old man suddenly had a feeling of madness, he didn't come early or late, but he came at this time. In this case, even if he wanted to take away the black robe, he would not be able to do it, and under the pursuit of Aura and Qingjiao, he would definitely not be able to escape from Ah Hong Island.

Therefore, the moment he heard the footsteps, the old man was ready to give up, and his physical state instantly reached the critical point of the outbreak.

The footsteps continued to approach, and the old man immediately made a decision, and opened his mouth to order the black robe to hurry back to the house.

At this moment, the silent black robe finally spoke: "Treasure map!"

"Whew!" The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and there was an urge to be overjoyed, the black-robed man's answer was too timely. The answer says that the worst case scenario turns into the best outcome in an instant. Looking at the eyes of the black-robed man, there was still no focus, and the old man was even more relieved.

"Go back to the house and rest!" The old man commanded. The figure regressed, disappearing into the shadows in the blink of an eye.

The black-robed man turned and walked back to the room. However, the speed is much faster than when it first came out

"Courtyard master, courtyard master!" The black robe heard someone calling. Slowly opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the table.

"How did you fall asleep!" The black-robed man shook his head, feeling groggy.

"How can this be, is it because the Lord has taken away the rights?" The black-robed man thought about it, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart. I gave such an important plan of the Moon Shadow Kingdom to Master Sang, doesn't the Lord trust me?

"Courtyard master, courtyard master!" The sound of the door outside the room continued, the sound was loud and full of confidence.

"What's the matter?" The black-robed man replied impatiently. The door was opened. I saw a big man in black bowing down and saying, "Lord, please come over as soon as possible." ”

"Oh?" The black-robed man instantly felt that he had been resurrected with full blood, and all the negative conditions of his body were gone, so he strode out and asked at the same time, "Do you know what the Lord is looking for me?"

"My subordinates don't know!" The big man hurriedly bowed in response.

The black-robed man didn't care at all, he just asked casually, of course he didn't really think that the Lord would say things casually.

The two quickly left the courtyard, and the footsteps became farther and farther away. After no effort, the old man walked out of the dark corner and looked at the courtyard door and smiled. Finally, the treasure map that the black-robed man said. Stringing the whole thing together. It must not have taken long for Ah Hong Island to obtain the treasure map, otherwise they would have acted a long time ago. It can be inferred from this that the treasure map eight achievements are the one of the relics of the Great Shang family, and the patriarch of the descendants of the royal family of the Great Shang is also very likely to have come to Ahong Island.

The old man was a little hesitant now. Should you find out the news of the treasure map and the patriarch, or should you immediately return to the Cursed Land and hand over the news to Jiang Xingchen.

After much thought, the old man decided to go back first. I don't know how long it will take for the black-robed man to be alone, just by himself. I'm afraid I can't even find a clue. And during this period, the other party has already launched an operation in the Moon Shadow.

Make a decision. The old man immediately left the main city of Ahong Island, quietly rushed to the port, and quietly went to sea, until he sat on the pink back, he breathed a sigh of relief, the secret start was really thrilling, but fortunately, it was not dangerous

At the same time, the shipyard in the Cursed Lands suddenly erupted in a huge cheer, and the sound was like a mountain of seas, which could be heard from far away.

After half a year of continuous research and exploration, the problem of the use of propellers and steam engines on wooden ships was finally solved. The solution was not proposed by the Mu family, but by a researcher who studied machinery. He used a double-layer suit structure, with the first layer of metal structure for the periphery of the crankshaft transmission, and the second layer of wooden structure connected to the stern. In this way, the two-layer encapsulation not only solves the sealing problem, but also minimizes the damage to the wooden structure caused by mechanical movement.

After the design of this structure, the experimental verification was completed in the test area of the shipyard today, and the data obtained from the test proved that the design was completely feasible.

After the black ship was built, the young master of the Mu family was proud, and the children of the Mu family were also proud. But when it came time to actually sail, the problem of speed gave them a blow in the face. That's why they've been working on speed for the whole year.

Although the propeller proposed by Jiang Xingchen gave them hope, the technical problem was difficult to solve. Now the biggest stumbling block in front of them has finally been removed, and the thrill of breaking through the shackles makes them ecstatic and cheer to their heart's content.

"Sir, in two months I will be able to build a big ship with a steam engine and propellers!" The young master of the Mu family made a guarantee to Jiang Xingchen, and his tone was very excited.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to build a big ship, first modify the three-story treasure ship and the five-story treasure ship, after all, it is only a verification completed in the test area, and we still need to use real sailing to test whether it is feasible." ”

He did this mainly to test the distance of the steam engine. Although the use of new technologies can increase the speed of ships, energy consumption is a problem that cannot be bypassed. There is precise data on how much energy a ship carries, the maximum range it can reach, and so on.

Based on these data, Jiang Xingchen was able to determine the way of shipbuilding. For example, if you still need sails, this world is much larger than the earth, and the sea area near the continent alone is not large, and the lack of energy is simply not enough.

After a little thought, the young master of the Mu family understood what Jiang Xingchen meant, and immediately summoned craftsmen to start refitting a three-story treasure ship.

Coming out of the shipyard, Jiang Xingchen immediately wrote a letter to Xingchenling. The Institute of Thermodynamics of the University was asked to strengthen the research on the improvement of the thermal efficiency of the steam engine, and told Xianning that the investment of financial resources and personnel could be increased.

This was the first time he had made a request to the Institute. In the past, it was he who proposed the direction, and the researchers went to let it go. He has never put pressure on everyone, and even if there is pressure, it is imposed on himself by the institute itself.

But this time is different, the battle with the An family is not trivial, once the defeat will cause a chain reaction is amazing, and it may affect the life and death of the entire territory. So for the first time, he gave strict requirements.

At the same time as this requirement, there are several research topics conveyed to Xianning, the biggest of which is the design of the steam turbine, which is an upgraded version of the steam engine, whether it is a large ship or a power plant, it can be widely used, and the use of thermal efficiency will also be greatly improved.

Another research direction is the construction of steel ships. This is also very important. With Jiang Xingchen's understanding of the An family's son, even if this battle is won, it will not be easy to catch him, the other party is too cunning, and there will always be a way to escape.

And the place where the other party fled was on the other side of the deep ocean, another continent. If you want to reach another continent, you have to not only cross the dangerous deep ocean, but also prepare for a battle with another continent, and you can't do it without a steel ship.

The fact that the An family had already developed the steam engine and the cannon meant that he had established a similar research institute on another continent. In other words, the technical level of the other party is also constantly improving. Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead and start studying the construction of steel ships now.

In order to build a steel ship, there is a key technology in this, which is welding. The forging welding technology used in the past can't keep up, which requires Xian Ning to research the resistance welding technology as soon as possible, acetylene gas welding Jiang Xingchen is ready to postpone first, and it is fatal if the thing is not stored well.

Xian Ning frowned in surprise after receiving Jiang Xingchen's letter, not because of those research directions and topics, nor because of the hard rules this time. Rather, it is because of the problem of increasing personnel investment.

Xingchen Ling University is all top secret, and the people who come in to study and experiment are basically the most trustworthy people, even if they train personnel, they have to go through layers of assessments, so judging from Jiang Xingchen's statement that he can increase personnel investment this time, he is really anxious to have a steam engine with higher thermal efficiency utilization.

Looking at the letter, Xian Ning thought a lot, Jiang Xingchen was so anxious, did he have to prepare a voyage plan. But now that the construction of the metropolis has just begun, all of Jiang Xingchen's plans are known to Xian Ning. Including the construction of the metropolis and voyages. Jiang Xingchen showed the importance of navigation so early, which made her very depressed. If he sails away soon, whether he wants to follow or not, what to do on the university side can't help but Xian Ning's heart is upset. She didn't expect that Jiang Xingchen's shipbuilding plan was for war, because no foreign enemy's attack was enough to cause Jiang Xingchen much trouble, and it was basically Xingchen Leader destroying the other party.

Xian Ning didn't know that this battle was different. Not only did it involve another continent, but it also participated in the thirtieth level demon beasts. Jiang Xingchen was not sure of victory

In the middle of June, the weather is already very hot, especially in the Land of the Damned, it is the rainy season, the climate is hot and humid, and people are as uncomfortable as a sauna.

At this time, on the newly built wharf, hundreds of people stood densely, everyone staring at the sea in the distance, not caring that their bodies were already soaked with sweat.

"Woo~" The sound of two whistles came into everyone's ears, and many people picked up binoculars to watch from afar, and immediately cheered excitedly: "It's back, it's back!" (To be continued.) )
