Two thousand miles away, Li Xian held the letter with some blood on it and looked east. "Today is the day of the trial voyage! If the textile industry is the symbol of the beginning of industry and a means of making money, then the giant warships and cannons are the first peak of industry! The textile industry, in the final analysis, is still improving life and people's hope to enrich the world; while the giant warships and cannons are the power of destruction and the release of human destructive power. I wonder if in this fairyland, in this fairyland where dragons exist in the ocean, the giant warships and cannons have any use?"
Then, Li Xian looked down at the blood-stained letter, and then at Song Xing, who still had wounds on his body, and said, "Song Xing, when you send letters next time, use jade slips instead."
"yes."
The production of a jade slip is very complicated. A jade slip is actually a low-level magic tool, which ordinary people certainly cannot afford. Moreover, if you want to record information in a jade slip, you need to consume a lot of spiritual consciousness.
Anyang, on the surface, was still calm, but secretly, it was already turbulent. The 10,000-strong security team trained by Yan Ze'an had achieved initial success. Most of the 10,000 recruits were soldiers who surrendered from the State of Cai, and some were prisoners of the Great Xia Imperial Guards who were exchanged back - these people, Anyang did not release them!
In addition, a number of veterans were selected to fill in the gaps and serve as officers to support the team.
Early in the morning of this day, Wu Peng brought people to measure the ground conditions again and began to plant flags. Wu Peng and others were busy while discussing:
"Captain, are there really spirit stones here?"
Wu Peng: "I'm not sure, but the army did find some low-quality spiritual stones here before, and they were covered with soil. But for now, we just need to do exploration, and there's no need to dig. Let's talk about it when the young master comes back."
"Um!"
Wu Peng was laughing in his heart. Even as he was speaking, he had already noticed a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy around him. This was because someone was too excited to remain invisible.
After Wu Peng led his men to leave the cordon, a large army suddenly pressed forward from the rear; Yan Zhengqing arrived with a newly formed team of 10,000 people and completely blocked the surrounding area to ensure that no one with ulterior motives could escape!
At noon, Yan Zhengqing received an order—it was about to begin and be executed according to the plan.
Yan Zhengqing immediately ordered all soldiers to guard tightly. Anyone who came out from inside should be caught if possible, and killed if not! In addition, our own people were not allowed to cross the cordon under any circumstances!
At noon, the first ironclad ship was full of people. After making sure there would be no problems, everyone wanted to experience the power of a giant ship cannon. Only by experiencing it personally can you know how to use it!
Chang Lin was in high spirits. With the help of soldiers, some experienced sailors recruited from the local area, and even temporary engineers from the factory, everyone worked together to steer this unprecedented steel ship forward.
The switch was turned on, the engine began to roar, and the sound of water stirring violently was heard from the rear of the ship; as the ship began to move, a faint wave of spiritual energy emanated, which was a phenomenon of large-scale use of spiritual energy.
The Third Prince Long suddenly raised his head and asked, "How many spirit stones did you use?"
Xu Ren smiled slightly, "Not much, just one thousand spirit stones. One thousand spirit stones are only enough for one day!"
