Chapter 677: The Continent of Lush Earth
"This is really going to be a battle!" Zhang Hao sighed with a faint sigh. After getting the situation on the front line, Zhang Hao relaxed.
Now it seems that the anti-aggression coalition will not at least be defeated, and perhaps there is a possibility of salvaging victory.
In short, judging by the current state of war, the balance between the two sides can continue, and that is enough.
Unconsciously, the Ocean Group turned out to be a chess player, using the Holy Land as a pawn. Now that the chess game has been completed, Zhang Hao no longer has to think too much, he only needs to occasionally give a little indirect influence to keep the balance between the two sides.
In addition, Zhang Hao also sent reporters or observers to the battlefield, mainly to analyze the technology and application on the battlefield, so as to promote the technological progress of the Dayang Group.
War is the best catalyst for technological progress.
Then Zhang Hao set his sights on the internal reform of Dayang Group. Also, the Flame Snow Mountain Sect is on the transaction.
After a few days of consideration, the Flame Snow Mountain Sect finally gave an option, a total of 6.5 billion resources of high-grade spirit stones, plus some special requirements, and the Ocean Group also needed some time to prepare.
The Flame Snow Mountain Sect needs a total of three Arctic-class warships - the latest Arctic-class battleships, and the displacement has stabilized at 35,000 tons. It was a behemoth, 270 meters long, like a small sea and land.
The Flame Snow Mountain Sect needs steel warships, not only for future development, but also for the transportation of various materials at the moment. The reason why they didn't want more was because the number of people they had gathered now was only six thousand—and after a few days, the number of people had increased considerably.
It's not that you can't hire more people, but only those who follow are the most trustworthy. After this battle and betrayal, the Flame Snow Mountain Sect was wary of internal personnel, let alone external hires.
In addition, the Flame Snow Mountain Sect requires a large number of basic equipment, including a complete set of primary industrial machine tools (a complete set of machine tools), but among these machine tools, there are no heavy machine tools, only basic machine tools. He also purchased a production line for Qi refining stage pills, and finally a large number of spiritual materials.
Some of these spiritual materials are used for their own use, and some will be exchanged for spirit stones (cash) and so on after arriving in the East—that will be at least five times the profit.
Before leaving, the people of the Flame Snow Mountain Sect contacted the station of the Liang Dynasty Dayang Group through the telegraph system of the Dayang Group, and then indirectly contacted Gao Shang, who was now a high-ranking official and governor of the Liang Dynasty, and expressed his intention to go to the East for development.
Gao Gao Shang quickly sent back the message: Welcome!
Welcome an organization that has obtained basic industries and ideas to come to the Liang Dynasty to invest and build factories, we have prepared land near Jinshan Port, just waiting for the phoenix to land.
Gao Shang's reply was very wonderful and full of sincerity.
After three days of simple training, the three warships of the Flame Snow Mountain Sect set off. However, in the end, one request was made: I hope that the fleet of the Ocean Group will escort it.
Nowadays, the Emerald Sea is full of war, and ordinary merchant ships dare not sail. If you want to pass through here safely, you can only ask for the fleet escort of the Ocean Group or the country of Qixia.
For the time being, no one dared to attack the fleets of these two countries, even if the escort was only a 10,000-ton warship.
Zhang Hao agreed, and just wanted to send a batch of resources to the station in the east and bring back some things. The Ocean Group dispatched five Blewolf-class warships.
The largest displacement of the Blue Wolf-class battleship is only 15,000 tons, but it is powered by spirit stones, and its range far exceeds that of fuel oil. If you want to travel back and forth between the East and the West for the time being, and do not make a stop in between, you can only use a battleship powered by spirit stones.
After sending off the fleet, Zhang Hao began the internal reform of the Dayang Group non-stop. Now is the time for change. If this continues, the Ocean Group will become more and more bloated, and different groups will gradually form within it, and then fall apart.
The growth of a group, like a towering giant tree, always needs to constantly clean up the side details to ensure that the main trunk is strong.
It's just that those side branches don't necessarily like to be cleaned up by themselves. Fortunately, Zhang Hao proposed a supplementary measure, that is, various families can exchange and merge related projects. Zhang Hao plans to spend half a year to complete this essential change.
When the battle on the sea became more and more intense, a resolution was also passed within the Ocean Group:
It is agreed that the Zhang family will be fully merged into the Dayang Group.
And not only the Zhang family, but also various families and so on can also be merged into the Dayang Group, and it is also recommended to do so. Dayang Group is developing into a new type of group with a bit of national character in an alternative holy place.
No one knows where the future of Dayang Group is, including Zhang Hao. The development of Dayang Group to this point has surpassed the enterprise group and development route in Zhang Hao's memory - it has been played off.
The current Dayang Group, said to be a group, is actually more akin to an 'empire of technology, industry, capital, and cultivation'!
Zhang Hao has also held several shareholders' meetings to discuss the future of Dayang Group.
The first is the shareholding system. Previously, everyone came from different places, and the shareholding system was very effective. But now, if everyone is merged into the Dayang Group, it is a bit inappropriate to talk about shares.
Zhang Hao gave a proposal: everyone first according to the shares, into different management, and then, all by personal ability, those who can go up, those who can't. From now on, we are all family, and we will never be separated from each other again.
Of course, this is only a proposal, and if you really want to go on like this, and completely integrate into a family, it will take at least three generations and continuous marriages to achieve. It will take at least fifty or sixty years. It is a process of boiling a frog in warm water.
But no matter what, Dayang Group is taking steps towards a future that no one knows.
At the moment of the war in the outside world, the Ocean Group is completing a metamorphosis. No one knows what the Dayang Group will be like after the transformation is completed.
............
Dayang Group is transforming, and the country of Qixia is also changing. With Liu Xinhai being made the crown prince, the country suddenly had a little more vitality that it did not have in the past.
The empress, after all, is not fully recognized. Even if the empress has done so much for this country and brought the country of Qixia to the peak, everyone is more afraid that this is a dream.
The empress is also a woman, so she may be abducted. In the entire fertile continent of the West, for thousands of years, there has never been an empress, and the powerful traditional concept is not so easy to change.
What's more, there is an extremely unstable factor in the country of Qixia - the Ocean Group!
The Ocean Group, now influential, is even above the royal family. So, once the Ocean Group has any dangerous thoughts, what should the country of Qixia do?
In particular, there is also an Xinglintang group, and the Ocean Group almost wears a pair of pants. It's also dangerous.
However, all this disappeared with the birth of the little prince Liu Xinhai.
First of all, although the news is not public, people who are a little well-informed know that Liu Xinhai is the son of Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hao, and this alone can basically guarantee that Dayang Group will not do anything.
Secondly, it is natural that the country has a crown prince, and in this political environment of centralized monarchy, it represents the stability and political integrity of a country.
At this point, the country of Qixia can be regarded as truly completing the leap and truly entering a new era of robust development.
............
It was also at this time that the Xianshan Exploration Fleet sent by the Ocean Group had been heading south along the Maotu Continent for several days.
A few days earlier, the fleet had arrived at the Continent of Motu. But the position where the fleet arrived was somewhat desolate, so it had to go south along the coastline.
This time, the fleet arrived at a location other than the countries on the northern fringes of the continent that had foreign exchanges. Rather, it goes straight to the south.
The topographical structure in the northwest of the continent resembles the character 'Ke' from the perspective of the "Elephant of the Ground". In the past, the main source of communication was the location of 'One', but now the fleet has directly arrived at the location of 'Kou' and is still heading south.
At the bow, Zhao Yuhang opened the bracket elephant, looked at the relatively abstract map, and said seriously: "According to the mark on the bracket image, we should be here now."
Shall we go straight south, or will we follow the coastline and look for targets to communicate with?"
Immediately, someone said, "I suggest finding a target to communicate with." After all, Fanghu Mountain is just south of Maotu Continent, and we don't know anything about it, so we should at least ask the local people about the situation. ”
"I think we should be vigilant. I'm afraid that this Fanghu Mountain is to the continent of the soil, just like the Xuanwu Mountain is to the continent of the candle dragon. If they also regard Fanghu Mountain as a holy mountain, etc., it will be troublesome.
Therefore, we should prepare for a moment and unify the lower caliber. For example, we also go on pilgrimage. ”
"I don't recommend contact. If you accidentally provoke the local holy place, I am afraid that you will be in trouble. ”
"I feel like it should be touched, but be careful with local shrines. We don't know anything about the sacred land of the Continent of Lush Earth!"
...
Everyone was gossiping, but in this fleet of immortal mountain exploration, especially those masters who had 'died' once, they were discussing rationally and calmly.
It is only after dying once that they feel the preciousness of life and cherish everything in front of them. Even if everyone comes from different holy places, even if these holy places are still fighting, everyone can calm down and discuss the current problem.
Zhao Yuhang synthesized everyone's opinions and made a decision based on some of his own judgments:
Exposure to the local environment, but caution prevails. Mainly, everyone does a good job of camouflage.
The fleet continued south, not fast, but the most fuel-efficient. After sailing for more than a day, on the morning of the third day, the Avatar Period, who was in charge of the investigation ahead, returned, and found a large river estuary, where traces of the master's activities were found—traces of hunting sea monsters and battles.
"Since there are traces, let's go over and take a look! I wonder how wide the river is, and whether the warship can enter?"
