This is a strange world, where the origin of dawn is abundant, while the origin of darkness is less, and a large amount is the origin of chaos in the middle area. Based on the common sense Qianye has learned, this kind of situation should never have happened.
The dark force is the foundation of the world, the soil and cornerstone that constitutes the world, so the dark force is mostly the norm. The dawn force is too blazing. If a world is dominated by the dawn force, then this world will be a world of light and fire, and no living things can survive.
But the world that appeared in front of Qianye's eyes at this moment not only exists, but is also very stable. The creatures here seem to have ways to adapt to the environment.
The only not so good place in this world seems to be relatively barren.
Just as he was thinking, Qianye accidentally kicked a stone. The fist-sized rock tumbled down the hillside. Qianye watched the stone go away, and suddenly a dark golden light flashed in his vision.
Qianye's heart moved, his figure flashed, he had already reached the foot of the mountain, and picked up the stone. The stone looks ordinary, except that it is dotted with dots of dark gold spots, a bit like cut metal.
Qianye took out Dongyue, cut the stone in two, and looked at the cut section, there were also dots and spots.
This is most likely a kind of dark gold sandstone, which can extract several rare metals and is a necessary component of many high-performance alloys. The price of dark gold sandstone has always been sky-high, even more expensive than gold of equal weight, and this only refers to raw ore. Qianye tossed this piece of raw ore in his hands, and casually picked up another stone at his feet, another dark gold sandstone.
In a small area around, Qianye found five or six pieces of dark gold sandstone. It seems that there are many raw ores in the whole wasteland. In addition, there are some stones that Qianye doesn't recognize at all, and can only tell from the metallic luster on the markings that they may be some kind of ore, not just rocks with ordinary ingredients. These unprecedented ores may not be useful, but they may be extremely valuable.
Qianye stood up straight and looked around. Now he no longer feels that this strange world is barren. Under the surface that does not conform to common sense, there are infinite possibilities.
A brand new world means endless opportunities and possibilities. But Qianye thought of a deeper level. For thousands of years, the heavenly kings and maharajas have been devoting themselves to exploring the void, but without any real progress. The three holy mountains of the Eternal Night Council seem to have rarely gained anything. For these powerhouses standing at the apex of the world, the attraction of exploring the original mysteries of the world is no less attractive than fighting with each other.
However, it is not so easy to explore the outside world. Everyone can see the asteroid belt on the top of the world when they look up, but the fall of the entire Void Valley, the natural disaster that penetrated the continent, made people experience the insignificance of life time and time again.
The maelstrom is the best sample, but there are various restrictions inside, and there are countless dangers of repelling the strong. Once the king of heaven enters, the risk of falling will increase greatly. Qianye himself has entered the core area before, so he has a deep understanding. At that time, his strength was still very ordinary, and he did not attract the attention of those extremely powerful beings. But if it is a maharaja-level powerhouse, it is another matter.
A giant elephant does not pay attention to passing ants, but if a lion approaches, it will instantly anger it.
The emergence of the new world provides a brand new opportunity for the strong to explore the world beyond the eternal night. Qianye also really wants to know how this world that does not conform to the basic principles actually works.
Qianye looked into the distance, did not go any further, and simply explored the surrounding area, confirming that this is a mining area rich in dark gold sandstone. He casually picked up a pile of dark gold gravel, put it in Anduya's space, and brought Iska and Xu Jingxuan back to Yongye.
As soon as he got out of the foggy area, Qianye immediately boarded the high-speed frigate and headed for Zheng Guo Liao City. That city and Xudong Floating Island have now become a gathering place for aristocratic families. If you want to negotiate some deals with them, it's most convenient to go there.
Not long after Qianye set off, the Hall of Valor on the North Land soared into the sky, turned around slowly in the air, and pointed at Yong Lu.
The Hall of Valor at this moment is very different from the past. There is no closed gap on the hull anymore. The outside is completely covered by armor plates, and the two sides are densely packed with naval guns. Although it has not yet reached Qianye's ideal side. The madness of the main guns of a hundred battleships has already overwhelmed the war mothership of the empire in terms of quantity alone.
The important parts of the dragon ship are all covered with reinforced armor, and the stern of the ship is also filled with a barbed steel armor that integrates offense and defense. Although the power sails on the back have not yet been fully assembled, 60% of them are already in place, and nearly ten high-power propulsion engines on the hull give the dragon ship a minimum speed. At least much faster than a cargo ship.
The dragon ship in front of me is beginning to take shape, and the workload of the transformation is also astonishing. The three days originally promised by Qingyue are not enough, and it took several days to barely complete the work.
After the completion of the Hall of Valor, we will go to Yonglu to guard the "gate". With the powerful firepower of the Hall of Valor, with Carol in charge, and with the help of hundreds of thousands of troops, Qianye was able to leave the land bestowed by God with peace of mind.
The huge ship of the earth dragon slowly flew out of Hokuriku and sailed into the East China Sea. While in the sky above the East China Sea, in the depths of the seabed, a pair of indescribable eyes suddenly opened, and their eyes fell on the Hall of Valor. The dragon ship seemed to have a sense, the whole body shook, and then stopped.
Dilong lowered his head and looked towards the sea. The eyes of the two behemoths touched for a few seconds, and they did not know what to communicate with, then the eyes of the mysterious existence on the bottom of the sea closed, and the dragon ship continued its voyage to Yonglu.
The news of Qianye's return spread throughout Liao City in an instant. This was originally the smelting and forging heavy industry base of Zheng State, so the teams sent by various aristocratic families all chose this place as their foothold instead of the military fortress in Xijiang.
Many of the equipment for mining raw ore are large and heavy, and it is unrealistic to transport them from the mainland of the empire. The best way is of course to produce them locally. Therefore, the first thing the technical team sent by the aristocratic family was to inspect the existing workshops and equipment in Liao City to see what modifications needed to be made.
Most of the people going to Xudong Floating Island are exploration teams, and the natural environment there is likely to have rare minerals.
As soon as Qianye arrived in Liao City, he immediately summoned the heads of various families. Not long after, more than ten people all arrived and sat down in the conference room.
Qianye was the last one to walk into the meeting room, and he began by saying clearly: "Everyone, I have gained something this time, and I want to share it with you."
He didn't keep everyone waiting for a long time, but directly put a piece of raw ore on the table.
"Dark gold sand and gravel!" The moment the raw ore appeared, everyone exclaimed.
The aristocratic family deacons who have been engaged in this kind of transactions for many years have much more experience in this field than Qianye. Most of the ores that Qianye has come into contact with or seen in the catalog are only familiar to him. It needs professional assistance to identify the final confirmation, and most of the deacons of the family can tell the species and ingredients with just their eyes.
This piece of ore was passed around by everyone before being put back on the table. An old man stroked his long beard and said, "This piece of dark gold sandstone is of excellent quality, and it is the only thing I have ever seen in my life. If the old man predicts that it is not bad, the metal extracted from this rough stone will be more than ordinary ore." Double."
The old man is a well-known mineral expert in the empire, so no one would doubt what he said. Everyone put down the raw ore, and all looked at Qianye with eager eyes.
Qianye picked up two boxes, put them on the conference table, and opened them in front of everyone. As soon as the lid was opened, the meeting room immediately exploded, and the inside was full of raw dark gold ore!
Each of these two boxes is worth a division's equipment.
"Before coming to Yonglu, each family has expressed their sincerity and given us much-needed trust and support. Then this box of raw ore will be our feedback to each family this year. Later, we will contribute according to the investment of each family The ratio will be distributed."
Everyone immediately cheered up. Originally, contributing money and troops to support Qianye's expansion was a common investment behavior among aristocratic families.
Most of the people here are from small and medium-sized families, and the investment in Qianye is more focused on the future. They hope to establish a good relationship with this strong man with unlimited potential in advance, and they don't think about how quickly the real money will be returned.
Unexpectedly, each family came to Yonglu, and they had already received their rewards before they even took their seats. A box of raw ore is worth one point. It is not too much, but it is not too much. Rare ores can never be measured only by gold coins. Moreover, the meaning behind this box of raw ore is even more important, indicating that Qianye probably already has a vein of ore in his hands.
When everyone was quiet for a while, Qianye said again: "It's an eventful time right now. To tell you the truth, I'm also facing a large-scale war now. Armaments and armor are far from enough, and I hope you can help. This box of raw ore, even if It’s a deposit, and when the equipment arrives, there will be more raw ore.”
The information revealed in Qianye's words was even more exciting. Someone tentatively asked, "My lord, how much more raw ore will there be?"
Qianye smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, it won't be less."
Enough said here. Everyone calculated the resources they could provide and made a list of equipment. Qianye looked carefully at the lists one by one, and some equipment was urgently needed, so he would ask for more. Other equipment is temporarily useless and will be removed.
When it was time for dinner, the list was finally revised, and what was placed in front of Qianye was the equipment capable of arming 50,000 soldiers. The equipment standard of werewolves in the Emerald Sea is much lower than that of the empire. They only need a few decks to protect their vitals. A base material for a set of Imperial Warrior standard armor, enough to be modified for three werewolves.
This batch of equipment can be obtained immediately. If more time is allowed, each family can provide more equipment. Several aristocratic families have already indicated that they will open a few new workshops to supply equipment for Qianye.
The effect is so good, which is beyond Qianye's expectation. It seems that the value of the dark gold placer is higher than his estimate. And Qianye saw the rewards for everyone in advance, and it was like giving them a shot of stimulant, scrambling to invest more chips.
It will take some time before the news is sent back and the equipment arrives. Fortunately, Qianye already has a large number of werewolves who have undergone initial training and arming, and there is no shortage of soldiers for the time being. The allied forces of the imperial family were distributed on the defense line from Xijiang to Liaocheng, which could also stabilize the rear. Although Zheng Guo's army is large in number, it is by no means an opponent of the family's elite private army. If 15,000 private troops want to defend, even if Zheng Guo mobilizes 100,000 troops, he will return home in defeat.
After dealing with the new equipment, Qianye was ready to return to the front line. Although he has entered the gate and confirmed that there will be no new threat from alien beasts for the time being, he is not very sure about this judgment. The rules of the new world are weird, and the origin of the alien beasts is unknown. There will be an army of alien beasts rushing out, so don't be careless.
Qianye hadn't even set off yet, but someone came with him in a hurry, saying, "My lord, an urgent report from the empire!"
