Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1220: Production base

Views:

In the past six months, although Zhang Tie was not in Zhulong Territory, he was still paying attention to everything that happened in Zhulong Territory.

The Sanyan Construction Group's construction of the Iron Dragon Sect Gate on Xuantian Eighteen Peaks was one of Zhang Tie's greatest concerns. What Zhang Tie knew was that in the past six months, the Sanyan Construction Group had launched nearly thirty A construction army of more than 10,000 people participated in the construction of the Iron Dragon Sect Mountain Gate. Up to hundreds of airships were mobilized, and tens of thousands of various mechanical equipment and vehicles were mobilized. Even now, the Sanyan Construction Group is The number of various craftsmen and workers involved in the construction of Tielong Zongshan Gate has remained at more than 2,000 people every day.

Under the construction of this scale and intensity, Sanyan Construction Group also adopted a multi-pronged approach. The Yangui Mountains near Xuantian Eighteen Peaks lead to Youzhou, Yanzhou, and several high-level roads in Tongzhou. All roads were opened to traffic within half a year, and various buildings and living facilities on Xuantian Peak were also improved.

Zhang Tie surprised everyone last night. Even Bai Suxian didn't believe that Zhang Tie had the potential to become a senior mechanical engineer and could invent mechanical equipment such as a dual-drive engine.

So early this morning, everyone was going to see with their own eyes what the production bases Zhang Tie had arranged in Zhulong Territory looked like.

Of all the people, the one who is most enthusiastic about Zhang Tie's energy-burning alcohol and new aircraft is undoubtedly Bai Suxian's elder brother Bai Zhengnan.

As the crown prince of the Guangnan Palace, and personally in charge of more than a dozen legions in southern Xinjiang, with military and people's livelihood government affairs all relieved, he naturally saw the great value of Zhang Tie's energy-burning alcohol and new aircraft at the first sight. . After a detailed discussion between the knights and Zhang Tie last night, Bai Zhengnan ran to the hangar at Xuantian Peak that night and took away all the barrels of fuel alcohol stored in the hangar. After loading his own space equipment, Bai Zhengnan's reason turned out to be that some palace lanterns on Jixian Peak lacked fuel. He saw that the burning alcohol here seemed to be more suitable, so he "do it himself" and "don't worry about it".

Zhang Tie heard the news from his subordinates before going to bed. Zhang Tie was speechless.

Are there any low-level palace lanterns that burn fuel on Jixian Peak? Looking at the grandeur of the Guangnan Palace and Bai Suxian's expenses for food and clothing, this is completely a bad joke.

And even if there is really a lack of fuel on Jixian Peak, when did the majestic Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace become the butler running errands on Jixian Peak

In terms of value, the production cost of those barrels of fuel alcohol is estimated to be only a few silver coins. For a few silver coins, the majestic Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace did not even say hello, for fear that he would not agree, so he would kill first and then explain. He immediately took away the barrels of fuel alcohol in the hangar as if they were treasures. I don't think it's shabby either.

Hearing such news before going to bed, Zhang Tie felt a little bit dumbfounded.

Zhang Tie stayed in the Tielong Sect's main pavilion on Xuantian Peak that night.

The Sect Master's Pavilion is not just an attic, but a group of buildings on Xuantian Peak connected by brackets and flying bridges. It is hidden deep in the most beautiful mountains, forests, streams and gardens on Xuantian Peak. The entire Sect Master's Pavilion is In addition to the main building where Zhang Tie stayed, there were 21 annexes (blocks) of various attic buildings for the residence of guards, maids, servants and Zhang Tie's family members. The sect master's pavilion alone can accommodate at least three to four hundred people comfortably.

The entire sect master's pavilion has basically not been put into use yet. Zhang Tie moved in for the first time, although it was a bit empty. It was not as lively as at home, but Zhang Tie was still very satisfied.

Because the residential facilities on Songluan Peak have not yet been fully constructed, Master Pengshan temporarily lives in an elder's courtyard specially prepared for him on Xuantian Peak. Lu Zhongming and his wife, Tang De, Zhang Su and others also had their own homes, as did Zhang Tie's disciples. They already had their respective residences on Xuantian Peak, and Bai Suxian and Bai Zhengnan flew directly to Jixian Peak. Live in Jixian Peak.

In front of his brother and a bunch of knights, Bai Suxian was embarrassed and came to warm Zhang Tie's bed, so that night, after returning to Youzhou, Zhang Tie rarely slept alone for a night.

That night, there were only five people in the Sect Master Pavilion. In addition to Zhang Tie, four of his disciples also stayed in the Sect Master Pavilion all night.

Two male disciples, Liu Xing and Zhao Bing, were responsible for Zhang Tie's resting bodyguards, while two female disciples, Qian Bingbing and Zhang Yawei, served as Zhang Tie's maids.

If something happens, the disciple should obey his service - this sentence is taken for granted by almost everyone in Taixia. It is not just a joke, because the Tielong Sect's personnel aspects have not been fully established. Zhang Tie The sect master's pavilion is still empty and has not been replenished with manpower, so on the first night Zhang Tie came back, his disciples took on the task of staying in the sect master's pavilion.

Zhang Tie was a little uncomfortable with it, but he also knew that this kind of thing was completely natural in Taixia, and the manpower was arranged by Liu Xing. Looking at the expressions on the faces of Liu Xing and others, everyone felt that they could come to the sect master's pavilion in Zhang Tie. It was a very honorable thing to be Tie's side as a maid. They were very excited, so Zhang Tie said nothing more.

Liu Xing, Zhao Bing, Qian Bingbing, and Zhang Yawei stood all night outside Zhang Tie's bedroom and outside the sect master's pavilion.

Before dawn the next day, Zhang Tie woke up after several hours of deep sleep.

As soon as Zhang Tie got up, two female disciples, Qian Bingbing and Zhang Yawei, who were outside Zhang Tie's bedroom, opened the bead curtain and walked in to help Zhang Tie dress and wash up.

"Well... I'll do it myself!" Zhang Tie said a little embarrassed.

"Could it be that the master dislikes Yawei and me for being clumsy and wants other senior sisters to serve us? If not, the master doesn't want us to serve him, so he will drive us away!" Qian Bingbing spoke. After saying this, the two girls Tears immediately filled the disciple's eyes. He was so pitiful that he almost wanted to cry.

Faced with this situation, even though he is the master of two people, Zhang Tie is not in a position to say anything more. Zhang Tie has also had such an experience, just like in school. Sometimes an unintentional remark made by a teacher can be It may leave a student with a grudge that he can't let go of for many years, and it may even form a knot in his heart, so he has to stop teaching and teaching. When Zhang Tie gets along with his disciples, he is always reminded that he is now a role model. Be careful what you say, "Hey. Okay, but if you stay overnight again in the future, you don't have to stand outside!"

"Don't stand outside... Master... Master... do you want us to take care of you?" Zhang Yawei lowered her head and asked as quietly as a mosquito.

The two female disciples' faces turned red for a moment, and they each lowered their heads and peeked at Zhang Tie shyly.

Upon hearing such words, if the person standing in front of him was a male disciple, Zhang Tie would have slapped him away. But facing the two female disciples in front of him, Zhang Tie was speechless. What are these two little girls thinking in their heads

Unable to slap someone away with one slap, Zhang Tie could only keep a straight face, show his dignity, and hit Zhang Yawei on the head with his finger, not lightly but not hard.

Zhang Tie made up his mind to build up the human resources skeleton of Tielong Sect as soon as possible. At least in this sect master's pavilion, he could first select a few of the dead men sent to him by the Guangnan Prince's Palace to deal with these guards and maids. assume the responsibilities. With a bunch of girls around him, maybe something will happen one day. Although this kind of thing is not new in Taixia, Nangong Sheng, the master of Shenquan Sect, is a role model not only far away, but also nearby. Among Nangong Sheng's current concubines, this time he will turn the wheel with Nangong Sheng in front of him. Came to watch the ceremony. Several of them were Nangong Sheng's former female disciples. To the knight, this was a romantic affair. It's harmless, there are even some touching love stories in folk tales. But for Zhang Tie, such a thing. It fell on him, but it was a bit difficult for him to accept.

Perhaps it was because the memories that Teacher Dana left for him were so unforgettable that the relationship between him and Teacher Dana was never chaotic from beginning to end. Even in the end, they maintained a vague and innocent teacher-student friendship. Zhang Tie was not satisfied with this. I will unknowingly use Teacher Dana as a role model, and I will never let myself be the opposite of Teacher Dana.

Today, Teacher Dana can no longer teach him anything, but Zhang Tie will never forget what Teacher Dana once taught him. The last lesson that Teacher Dana taught him, the most important lesson, Taught Zhang Tie how to be a qualified teacher.

This is a kind of nostalgia that only Zhang Tie can understand.

"Hahaha, brother Zhang Tie, it's almost daybreak. Should we go see the fuel alcohol base and engine production base you mentioned last night?" Bai Zhengnan's loud laughter came from the air, and the talent Flying from Jixian Peak, the sound has reached the sect master's pavilion at Xuantian Peak.

This is an advanced application technique of sound transmission. It can turn the sound into a directional beam and spread it more than ten miles away, and then spread out when it reaches the destination, just like speaking in front of you in person. This skill , ordinary earth knights may not be able to play it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace could not wait for Zhang Tie to call him, but took the initiative to call Zhang Tie. Cui Zhangtie got up. Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not fall asleep at all last night. For a knight, this Time passes by meditating, closing your eyes and opening them.

Bai Zhengnan arrived just in time to break the awkward atmosphere in Zhang Tie's room.

When Zhang Tie finished dressing and washing, and walked out of the sect master's pavilion, Liu Xing and Zhao Bing, who were wearing iron armor, were still standing outside the sect master's pavilion with bright eyes. When they saw Zhang Tie coming out, they bowed and saluted Zhang Tie.

"master!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Tie glanced at the two of them. In such weather, they had been waiting outside the sect master's pavilion all night, and a layer of white frost and dew had formed on their armor.

"It is a disciple's duty to serve his master!"

Bai Zhengnan and the others also seized the time and had just arrived outside the sect master's pavilion and were waiting for Zhang Tie to come out.

"Have you all had breakfast?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Let's have breakfast on the flying boat. I've already asked people to prepare it on the flying boat!"

Bai Zhengnan spoke, Feng Cangwu shrugged, Pengshan Zhenren was noncommittal, Lu Zhongming and his wife smiled, Tang De, with red eyes, seemed to have not slept well last night, Zhang Su was waiting for Zhang Tie to make a decision, and Bai Suxian's There was also a look of curiosity on his face.

Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Zhang Tie only said one sentence, "Then let's go..."

In less than half an hour, just after breakfast on the flying boat, the flying boat landed directly on a vast and flat open space to the south of Dongyang City on the border between Zhulong Territory and Gaoping County of Yanzhou. In this open space, there was A factory covering an area of more than 2,000 acres, with rows of huge metal tanks and dense pipes standing in the center.

This is the first energy-burning alcohol production base in the Zhulong Territory. It was here that Zhang Tie arranged for the location of the alcohol production base.

The flying boat landed directly on a vast open space in the alcohol production base.

As soon as the flying boat stopped, a large group of armored guards blowing whistles ran over from all directions. Their swords were unsheathed one by one, and they surrounded the flying boat, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

For these ordinary guards, it is rare to see high-end flying boats. Zhang Tie's Iron Dragon was returned to Taiyi Xuanmen after the wheel-turning ceremony, hoping that they could tell whether this flying boat came from Guangnan. It’s really difficult for Wang Fu to come from somewhere else.

The flying boat arrived unexpectedly. Without knowing whether it was an enemy or a friend, the guards guarding the alcohol base had no choice but to quickly surround the flying boat and at the same time ask someone to notify the people in charge of the base to come over. They also know that in Taixia, those who can travel in a flying boat are definitely not ordinary people.

Zhang Tie did not open the door immediately on the flying boat. Zhang Tie was also waiting for the arrival of the management personnel. At this time, when he went out, these ordinary guards guarding the alcohol base may not be able to recognize who he was, which would inevitably attract unnecessary guards. , so there is no need to waste your time explaining anything.

After a while, the leader of the Dongyang City Zhongpin Merchant Group, who was born in the Li family branch of Wanshengtang, Wuhua County, Zhuozhou, came in a hurry, sorting out his clothes.

Seeing Li Tao coming, Zhang Tiecai asked someone to open the hatch of the flying boat and was the first to walk out.

Li Tao met Zhang Tie twice. This alcohol production base was the task given to Li Tao by Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie held the Wheel-Winning Ceremony a few days ago, Li Tao was also invited to go. However, Li Tao on that occasion , just like Lu Yishan, he is just a nobody. It is a huge honor to have a seat in the audience. He and the people who were received by Zhang Tie in Xuantian City even came forward to pay homage to Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie in public. Not even qualified to say a few words. However, this time the Wheel-Winning Ceremony also made Li Tao know who Cui Li's true identity was, and he was even more in awe of Zhang Tie's abilities displayed in the Wheel-Winning Ceremony.

Seeing Zhang Tie's young face walking out of the flying boat's hatch, Li Tao was slightly stunned and quickly bowed to Zhang Tie, "Li Tao pays homage to the sect master!"

Seeing Li Tao bowing down and calling Zhang Tie his lord, the guards surrounding Feizhou with their swords and guns unsheathed also knew Zhang Tie's identity. Everyone quickly put away their swords and guns and knelt down on one knee to pay homage. (… )
