The question raised by Zhao Donghyuk made everyone silent in an instant.

Seventy thousand captives, that's not a small number! It's impossible for you to keep these captives with you, and you can't afford to keep so many captives in captivity.

Gradually, there was murder in the eyes of everyone looking at each other.

Zhang Hao frowned a little, but he couldn't think of any better way for a while.

"I have a way!" At the critical moment, Zhou Shuhai spoke, "There is a medicinal herb called 'Ghost Poppy' planted over there in Xinglin Hall, and its burning smoke can confuse people's minds. The smoke of the Oni Poppy can then be used to induce them to attack the borders of the Kingdom of Jinyang. ”

Zhang Hao looked up at Zhou Shuhai fiercely, how did this thing sound...... So familiar? And it seems to be an enhanced version?

Zhou Shuhai was a little embarrassed by Zhang Hao, and there was some emotion in his tone: "This thing...... I wasn't going to take it out. But now, it has to be taken out.

This thing...... Everyone be careful, once you get infected, you can't quit for the rest of your life, and you have to become a slave of this ghost poppy!"

As he spoke, Zhou Shuhai took out a dried ghost poppy from the storage ring. As soon as this ghost poppy appeared, it attracted everyone's attention, even if it was dry, its flowers were still bright and eye-catching, purple red, but with a little blood red, there was an indescribable charm, and the whole body was full of an indescribable weirdness.

However, everyone didn't dare to approach, and they were frightened by Zhou Shuhai.

Zhou Shuhai smiled a little proudly: "As long as it is not ignited, it will not be harmful, so don't worry." ”

Zhang Hao looked at the somewhat familiar shape, and his heart was very shocked. Unexpectedly, in another world, I saw a similar plant, and then felt the faint spirituality on it, Zhang Hao's heart was even more vigilant: this thing, I'm afraid that I can't resist it in my infancy!

Then Zhou Shuhai said leisurely: "I also found this thing by accident, but I don't plant much there, and I have bred it for more than ten years, and it is only 2,000 plants, I don't know if it is enough for 70,000 prisoners." ”

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "If it burns, it will be too wasteful." Wouldn't it be better if these plants were ground up and soaked in water?"

"Hey, soak in water, I didn't expect it, I'll try!" Zhou Jue immediately crushed a petal and put it in the teapot, and observed it for a long time, and after a while, he smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the effect of soaking water is almost ten times as much, this pot of tea is enough to make ten ordinary soldiers confused for an hour, enough!"

But then Zhou Shuhai looked at Zhang Hao suspiciously: "How did you think of soaking in water?"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Didn't you think of it when you saw the tea next to you?"

"Oh......" Zhou Shuhai nodded, okay, I'll believe you for the time being.

............

Another dawn came slowly, and in the Zhang family's shipbuilding base, Princess Liu Xinyu had been standing next to her all night.

This night, Liu Xinyu was shocked, shocked, and dumbfounded, and then ...... Be chuffed to bits!

Until now, she couldn't believe her eyes, Zhang Jia...... It's really building big ships out of black iron. Well, it should be said that steel.

Yesterday, Liu Xinyu first personally felt the domineering of the ironclad - although it was only a ten-meter-sized model, it had already shocked Liu Xinyu.

Then, Zhang Shengde took Liu Xinyu to the shipbuilding base. Here, the craftsmen of the Zhang family are building the first real steel ship.

It is a dry dock located on the seashore, which is located underground, more than ten meters deep, and not far away is the sea water that is blocked by a seal.

By this time the keel of the ship had been laid. But compared to the keel of a wooden ship, the keel of a steel ship is very different. There are 5 I-beams of different thicknesses, the middle one is almost one meter high, and the two sides are lowered one by one, but the most edge is also half a meter high.

Or to put it this way, the ship had 5 small keels. Each small keel is riveted from double-layered, five-meter-long I-beams.

The length of each I-beam is five meters, which is the limit of Zhangjia's temporary production capacity. In order to splice a keel of sufficient length and sufficient strength, each small keel is riveted by two layers of I-beam, and the joints are particularly reinforced.

The joints of the 5 small keels are evenly staggered.

Finally, the five small keels began to narrow and warped before and after, forming a steel structure more than 100 meters long and about 10 meters high.

And at this time the craftsmen were laying the ribs of the ship. This scene is very spectacular.

Machine tools of all sizes roared, drilling holes in the I-beam. Compared with the precision of the seal carving formation, this requirement is much lower. Therefore, the drill bits are all reinforced with formations, which can easily drill holes in hard steel.

The riveted part of the I-beam also needs to be carefully sanded and polished.

The craftsmen shouted the trumpet, burned the arm-thick mild steel rivets red, carefully put them into the holes, and then ...... Pick up the sledgehammer, sonorously forge it, and sparks shoot in all directions.

In this process, the rivets cannot be cooled – so the efficiency has to be fast!

Also, rivets are not screws, so they are troublesome if they go wrong, so they must be molded as soon as possible. So every time I forge, the craftsman in charge of proofreading next to me shouts: continue.

Princess Liu Xinyu stood in such an environment for a whole night, her eyes did not blink, and she seemed to be crazy.

She watched the craftsmen meticulously, methodically, and in their respective duties, and watched the craftsmen shouting trumpets and linking pieces of I-beams with red-hot rivets the thickness of their arms. In one night, the craftsmen completed the work of 10 main ribs.

The sound of sparks, the sound of steel clashing, the sound of forging, the roar of machine tools, and the sound of craftsmen's horns all converge into a hymn to industry.

Steel, fire, strength, wisdom, and high fighting spirit are all on full display here.

This group of ordinary craftsmen is using their own hands to create an unprecedented miracle - a ship of steel, a continent of fertile soil, and even an unprecedented steel ship in the entire cultivation world!

Liu Xinyu really wanted to stay here and see the birth of the steel ship with her own eyes. But she ...... Because, at dawn, someone came to Zhang's house and brought the holy decree. Liu Xinyu had to leave here and go to the Zhang family's compound.

Ouyang Qingque took the lead, and there were ten Yuan Infant stage masters, looking at Liu Xinyu coldly. Ouyang Qingque was even more 'regretful': "Princess, you really shouldn't come here." Your Majesty, please go back!"

Liu Xinyu looked at Ouyang Qingque, looked at the ten Yuan infants around her, and her face was gloomy, "Is this a forced invitation?"

"I beg your pardon. Please. ”

Next to him, Feng Dongyuan couldn't help it at first, and his words were mocking: "A few masters are really majestic, they don't go to the battlefield but come to blackmail the princess!"

Ouyang Qingque glanced at Feng Dongyuan coldly, and snorted coldly: "We are here to pick up the princess and kiss!"
