At this time, the Dutian Fire Array, like an awakened Hell Demon King, appeared on the edge of the sea.

Below, the sea water is lifted like a curtain and rolled upside down – in fact, the water has evaporated.

In the center is a fertile seabed. There are countless fish, shrimp, shellfish, crabs, starfish, turtles, demon plants, etc., which are struggling wildly. But it was too late.

They were given so much time just now that they didn't know how to retreat, but now they have no chance.

The fire of Dutian fell violently, and the fertile seabed turned into hell in an instant, and the seabed quickly melted, and everything was in ashes, except for the hot lava tumbling.

Some strong sea monsters, especially shellfish and turtles, did not die for a while, but they were even more miserable than those who died. After a while, it turned into ashes in the Dutian Fire Array.

The sea was constantly pouring in, but it could not be approached, and the sea boiled, tumbled, and turned into mist and rushed into the sky. The water mist gradually shrouded more than a dozen or dozens of kilometers...... Heaven and earth are vast.

Only near the Dutian Flame Array was that there was not a trace of moisture due to the high temperature, but the air was distorting. Zhang Hao wiped a handful of chin and sweat in one hand. The rocks under your feet are hot. If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it is already half-cooked at this time.

However, the change doesn't end there. Or rather, it's just getting started!

But I saw that the Dutian Fire Array continued to sink, and gradually sank into the magma and disappeared.

The inverted sea water rushed in frantically, but it was quickly evaporated by the melting magma. The sea monster in the distance was still observing, and there was no movement.

Suddenly, the earth shook suddenly, the sea rose and fell like a mountain peak, and some of the cliffs within a few kilometers that had been eroded by the sea for an unknown number of years collapsed one after another, splashing endless waves.

This time, I don't know how many ocean monsters suddenly jumped out of the sea, and a black and oppressive dark cloud formed, holding up thousands of sea monsters.

"Ready!" Zhang Shengde roared, and countless powerful crossbows were launched, ready to defend.

Fortunately, the earth stopped trembling and the ocean gradually subsided. The lava stopped tumbling, and the sea covered it with a raging sea.

The rumbling sea water has regained its territory, but there are countless bubbles tumbling below, within a radius of one kilometer, if it is really boiling the sea, the sea water is boiling, and the infinite amount of water vapor is like a pillar supporting the sky, rolling up to the sky.

It was only at this time that Zhang Xinhan, Lu Yang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Xinhan said to Zhang Hao: "The formation has taken root in the earth and penetrated through the leylines, and there is no need to worry that the aura will not be enough in the future."

Judging from the quality of the Dutian Fire Array this time, it will be worry-free for at least a hundred years. ”

As he spoke, twelve golden pillars rushed out from under the seawater, which were pillars of energy. Each pillar is about three meters in diameter, and above the pillars there are dragon-like heads, which extend upwards and gradually bend.

The last twelve pillars of energy stretched out to a height of thousands of meters, and the dragon's mouths connected to each other, finally forming a golden hemispherical dome covering the sea.

Then the golden dome gradually became transparent, and eventually became undetectable.

Under the dome, the sea gradually stopped boiling.

"That's it!" Zhang Xinhan showed a little triumphant smile on his face. This huge project has finally been completed. The process went unexpectedly smoothly.

Zhang Hao also took a deep breath, and a relaxed, bright smile appeared on his face. "Uncle Zhang, what if this formation breaks in the future?"

"If it's broken, you'll have to rerefine the entire formation. Right now, this formation has taken root in the earth and cannot be taken out. Moreover, each formation is a complete individual, which has formed a resonance with each other, and it is difficult to maintain a certain formation base alone.

Many times, it is better to repair it alone, or even to rebuild it. After all, the repaired ones are not as good as the original. ”

Zhang Hao nodded in thanks. And wrote down this little question.

The sea gradually subsided, and Zhang Hao looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction.

When the Dutian Fire Array fell just now, one-third of it covered the land and the cliffs, which caused a 'deep water pier' about 580 meters long to appear on this side of the land.

This stretch of coast looks as if it had been cut by a knife, with a depth of more than 50 meters and neat edges. With a little transformation, it can become an excellent port and dock.

Looking into the distance again, the sea monster beast that jumped out when the earth shook the sea before dived again. They don't know that a new era is being started right under their noses.

Perhaps in their minds, it doesn't matter as long as humans don't come to hunt them. Most of the demon beasts obviously don't have the same sense of crisis as the Terrans.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth: From this moment on, the footprints of human beings have finally begun to set foot in the open sea!

Suddenly, Zhou Xueyao came to Zhang Hao's side and said, "Brother Shi, is such a shocking moment an inscription?"

Zhou Xueyao's words immediately aroused widespread approval from everyone.

Yes, such a magnificent moment must be inscribed. This is an unprecedented attempt in the country of Qixia, and everyone has made unprecedented achievements. How can you not write inscriptions and keep memorials!

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Hao flew to a high cliff that had just been cut out by the Dutian Fire Array, took out the flying sword, thought for a while, and began to depict it one by one.

The rough but powerful big characters are revealed little by little.

Zhou Xueyao flew over curiously to check, and read out word by word:

"Land, earth, from, this, in, knot, bundle... Sea, ocean, from, this, inside, open, beginning......"

When Zhang Hao finished carving, everyone looked at this line of words, and an indescribable excitement appeared in their hearts. Zhou Jue couldn't help but read aloud: "The land ends here, and the ocean starts here."

Good, good, good!

It is said that our land is the end of the known world and the return of the sunset! But we want to tell you that the land ends here, but the sea begins here!

The world is not only land, but also the sea!"

One sentence seems to ignite passion, and one sentence ignites the pride in everyone's hearts.

In a word, it has opened a door of hope for the country of Qixia, which has been suppressed for thousands of years. Perhaps this door has just opened a crack, but it has already bloomed with a gorgeous, dazzling, hopeful radiance!

Yes, what about the end of the known world! After the land, we will set foot in the ocean!

The waves are rolling, and everyone is staring at the sea, and the mood is agitated.

The clouds and mist have dispersed, the sunset is gradually setting, everyone is still looking at the sea, looking at the sea area in front of them that is gradually calming down, and the mood is gradually calming down, but the pride in their hearts is germinating little by little.

At present, this one-kilometer radius of the sea belongs to everyone, to human beings, and to the country of Qixia from now on.

Under Zhang Hao's planning, the first step towards westward development was firmly stepped out, and left a deep and perfect imprint.

Until the sunset on the horizon dimmed, Zhou Jue suddenly turned his head and asked Zhang Hao: "Brother Shi, what is the next step...... How are you going to go?"

"Shipbuilding! Of course, shipbuilding!" Zhang Hao's eyes were deep and his words were firm, "Build a port, build a dock, build a ...... No, it's a steel ship!"

Turning his head, Zhang Hao looked at everyone and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the model of the steel ship that the Zhang family has built!"

Zhang Hao knew that everyone still had deep doubts about 'building ships with steel'. Traditionally, the first thought is that iron is much heavier than water.

In addition, iron is difficult to process compared to wood.

It's just a matter of forging flying sword weapons and casting a little tool, and if you want to use iron to make a ship, this production process is a big problem!

And if you want to dispel everyone's doubts, you don't want to talk to them about physics and technology, and Zhang Hao is not ready to make these public at all. These are the foundations of the Zhang family.

But the easiest way to do this is to show them the model!

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

In the shipbuilding base that the Zhang family had just established, everyone heard the roar of the machines, the sonorous sound of forging, and the sound of the craftsmen's horns as soon as they entered. The smell of fireworks came to my face.

The equipment here is still very primitive, but it has begun to take shape, tall trusses, thick iron cables, simple but effective pulley blocks, tall furnaces have melted molten iron, rough steel plates, steel beam extrusion equipment, etc. are roaring.

On the other side, craftsmen were busy punching holes in the dark red, uncooled iron plates, and not far away, craftsmen were inserting red-hot rivets into the iron plates and began to forge them, sparks everywhere.

After everyone came in, Zhang Hao led everyone to wait in the same place, and after a while, Hou Shangzhuo and Wang Dake came with smiling faces and came to Zhang Hao, Hou Shangzhuo lowered his head: "Young master, our model ...... It's not ready yet......"

"I remember you swore that you patted your chest and said that ten days is enough?"

Hou Shangzhuo was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "This ...... This one...... Young master, we are still accumulating experience, and it is more difficult than imagination to build a ten-meter-sized iron ship......

Ten days...... It's a bit of a boast.

But we've overcome a lot of challenges. For example, the rolling of steel plates, the rolling of steel beams, etc. Also, we conquered the riveting technology, redesigned the structure of the ship, and we designed the ......"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and didn't let Hou Shangzhuo continue, "Don't worry, you've done a good job." It is inherently difficult to make a ship out of iron, and it is a sea ship directly. And you are already ahead of the entire Qixia Country!

Everyone has been busy for half a month, so let's take a break today. Come back tomorrow, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Wang Dake, you take out the previous model. ”

In fact, Zhang Hao is already very satisfied with Hou Shangzhuo's achievements, he was able to start from scratch and find out everything at the moment, Hou Shangzhuo and others have really tried their best.

Moreover, the one-meter-sized model that was created before is completely different from the model that is only ten meters in size now.

One meter in size, like pinching a clay doll, craftsmen use a hammer and other simple tools to knock it out, without thinking about the structure, keel, etc.

However, the model of 10 meters is actually a real iron ship, which requires professional technology, and professional technology requires accumulation, exploration, and perseverance.

Hou Shangzhuo withdrew with gratitude, and consciously stopped all the equipment, and some of the equipment was covered with tarpaulin. Zhang Hao interrupted him just now, and Hou Shangzhuo understood: The young master just took them to see and increase their confidence, and the technology still had to be kept secret.

Hou Shangzhuo had just finished his work, and Wang Dake came over to report that the model from last time had been prepared.

(I'm sleepy, now it's time to type for a while, just lie on the table and squint for a while.) However, I will hold on a little longer, thank you all for your support, and more on that later. ）
