Chapter 474: Successful Completion, Inspection of the First Shipyard
"Nine natal spirit ghosts?"
After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Li Dingguo said in surprise and regret, "In this way, almost all the military souls here can only be reincarnated."
"Commander Cao, go and collect the nine natal spirit ghosts first, and then I will help the military souls in this extremely dark place to transcend."
At this time, under the massive devouring of the Lotus Platform Artifact and the Hell Demon Tower, about half of the massive amount of evil energy in this forbidden area has disappeared.
Nearly half of the evil spirits have been burned and purified by the infinite karmic fire.
In less than half an hour, the evil aura in this forbidden area will be completely devoured and absorbed by the two top-level innate artifacts, and all the evil spirits transformed from military souls will also be purified.
"it is good!"
Cao Bianjiao nodded, and with a thought, his innate artifact, the Hell Demon Tower, which had just reappeared, flashed for a moment and arrived above several level six peak ghost kings who were commanding their evil spirits to launch a violent attack on the enemy. A huge gravitational force came from the black tower, and instantly these ghost kings were taken into the ghost domain space inside the tower.
After repeating this operation several times, the nine most powerful ghost kings on the scene were taken away by Cao Bianjiao using his natal artifact, the Black Tower.
The reason why this process went so smoothly and why it seemed that the nine peak level six ghost kings had no power to resist at all was because of the natural restraint of this top-level Yin attribute innate artifact on them.
In fact, the combat power of those nine ghost kings was very strong, but they were just unlucky and met their nemesis.
With the disappearance of the nine ghost kings, the group of evil spirits lost their command, and their resistance to the boundless karma fire dropped rapidly, causing the area covered by the karma fire to expand rapidly, and more and more evil spirits were burned and purified by the karma fire.
About half an hour later, the evil aura in this extremely dark place had been swallowed up by the Hell Demon Tower and the Lotus Platform of Creation, and clarity soon returned to the world.
All the evil spirits in this forbidden area had been burned and purified by the infinite karmic fire a stick of incense time ago.
"Buzz..."
At this time, above this area, the void trembled, and a pitch-black passage with a radius of hundreds of feet appeared in the air.
Millions of soldiers whose spiritual souls had been restored, their bodies seemed somewhat illusory. They all saluted Li Dingguo and then jumped into the dark passage.
A moment later, millions of human military souls at the scene disappeared, and the dark passage in the air suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In this area that has returned to peace, only black and red ground and a large number of dead bones are left, making people feel extremely desolate.
"Commander Cao, let's first bury the remains of these soldiers from the Sui Dynasty."
Looking at the large number of corpses that were still well preserved under the nourishment of the rich yin energy environment, Li Dingguo stood there in silence for a while and said to Cao Bianjiao.
Li Dingguo would naturally not allow the corpses of these Han soldiers to continue to lie exposed in the wilderness.
The two people, who were somewhat sighing, immediately started to work busily.
With Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao's current level of cultivation, as well as the various techniques and methods at their disposal, it wouldn't take them long to bury the remains of these soldiers.
Especially since Li Dingguo has already cultivated the Five Elements and Earth Spirit Techniques to perfection, with his current level of cultivation, even digging a huge pit with a radius of a thousand feet would only take a moment.
Since there are too many remains of soldiers left here, it is impossible to build a large number of coffins for burial. So the only way is to keep things simple and bury them in peace.
About an hour later, the two had finished their work and jumped onto the backs of two level six spirit birds that had been waiting on the side for a long time.
"Chirp..."
The big golden crane and the big white crane raised their heads and screamed, then jumped into the sky as instructed by their master, instantly reaching a height of thousands of feet, and flew towards the direction of Jinzhou Port in the south, disappearing in the southern sky in a moment.
This time when Li Dingguo came to Liaodong, he naturally had to deal with some other things.
Jinzhou Bay, which the Fuxing Army spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transform, was one of the highlights of his trip.
That natural harbor is now a major base for the Fuxing Navy and a bridgehead for future attacks on the Goguryeo Peninsula and Japan.
In Li Dingguo's plan, the target of the next major operation of the Restoration Army would be the Goguryeo Peninsula and Japan.
Whether it was the Later Jin clan and the remnants of Goguryeo who occupied the Goguryeo Peninsula, or the sworn enemies of Japan, they were all mortal enemies in Li Dingguo's mind.
This is not only for the future layout of dominating the world, but also for the purpose of destroying these major alien races and completely eliminating the huge hidden dangers in the future.
Its importance is even higher than going south to destroy the Southern Ming Dynasty.
……
The rippling Jinzhou Bay, with a radius of nearly a thousand miles, is a well-known ice-free harbor in the Northeast.
Today, the harbor has been renovated and the surrounding buildings have expanded more than tenfold.
The Xuanwu 1st Battalion led by Huang Zhanglong officially moved into this military port not long ago.
Their main task is not only to train the Xuanwu First Battalion, which has been expanded to 300,000 people, to guard the territorial waters, but also to collect a large number of top-quality spiritual materials in the vast Liaodong mountains and forests.
The purpose is self-evident, which is to provide the first shipyard of the Renaissance Army, which had just been established, with enough top-grade spiritual materials so that it can build high-quality and top-grade treasure ships.
After the Fuxing Army completely occupied the vast land north of the Yellow River, the large shipyard that Li Dingguo had repeatedly emphasized finally recruited enough shipbuilders.
Under the military's close attention, the first shipyard of the Renaissance Army was successfully built in Jinzhou Bay.
This shipyard, located on the seashore near Jinzhou City, covers an area of one million acres and has nine large docks alone.
In the world of cultivators, infrastructure construction is much better than that in the normal historical world, both in terms of construction speed and quality.
Especially with the participation of a large number of Renaissance Army warriors, a few months is enough to complete the construction of this huge shipyard.
Currently, it houses thousands of craftsmen from all over the country, as well as hundreds of thousands of shipbuilding craftsmen and their families.
There are a large number of pristine forests in the Liaodong region, which are extremely rich in top-quality spiritual materials.
Under the escort of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp, it was not a big task to mine these precious spiritual materials and transport them to the shipyard by water.
Li Dingguo knew very well that as the size of the Fuxing Navy grew larger, it would not be a long-term solution to always rely on looting the enemy's treasure ships for use.
As a top force, it must have the ability to generate its own blood and develop in a healthy cycle.
Moreover, the treasure ships of various levels that were looted were of various forms and uneven quality, which did not meet the needs of the future revival of the navy and its development.
In order to truly travel the world, the Fuxing Army must not only have strong combat power, but also need more advanced and special treasure ships. Only with advanced treasure ships and the combat power of soldiers can we overwhelm the enemy and establish a stronger and stronger advantage.
"Commander-in-chief, this is the first great treasure ship we plan to build after multiple verifications and combining the various weapon refining and formation knowledge you have passed down..."
Gongshu Sheng, the head of the First Shipyard, introduced Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao who arrived at the shipyard.
He is a descendant of Gongshu Ban, a great craftsman during the Xian Qin period, and is also the contemporary leader of the Mohist school.
The Mohist school, which had lived in seclusion in the depths of the Qinling Mountains for thousands of years, was discovered by accident by Hongmei half a year ago when she personally led a team to the great spiritual land in the Qinling Mountains to harvest various spiritual grains and she rode a golden eagle to patrol the Qinling Mountains.
Hongmei would certainly not ignore this kind of unknown forces existing in her own jurisdiction.
As Hongmei led a large army to attack the border using both soft and hard tactics, the contemporary Mohist school was forced to face the reality and decided to join the Fuxing Army.
Realizing the importance of Mohism, Li Dingguo personally met with them and fully opened the Fuxing Army's library to them.
The Mohist school, who had inherited a lot of weapon-refining techniques from the Xian Qin period, felt overjoyed after obtaining the various weapon-refining knowledge and the Five Elements Formation Secret Book written by Li Dingguo himself.
After several months of research and study by a thousand people from the Mohist School, their own abilities in refining equipment and forming formations improved rapidly.
The Mohist school led by Gongshu Sheng finally willingly identified with Li Dingguo and fully integrated into the large collective of the Fuxing Army.
Considering that building a top-quality treasure ship by themselves is a crucial step for the Fuxing Army, Gongshu Sheng led a thousand Mohist disciples to the first shipyard in Jinzhou Bay.
After dismantling a top-grade treasure ship and a high-quality treasure ship, they spent about a month finally drawing the blueprints of an upgraded version of the treasure ship and making a model of the top-grade treasure ship.
The workshop currently laying the keel in Dock No. 1 is where Gongshu Sheng is leading the Mohist disciples and a large number of shipbuilders to build the first special and top-grade treasure ship.
Accompanied and introduced by Gongshu Sheng, Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao looked with interest at the scene in the huge dock in front of them where the keel laying was about to be completed.
"Yes! It looks very good."
Li Dingguo used his divine sense to the fullest. After checking it out, he praised it endlessly and said, "Master Gongshu, according to the model proportions you set, this top-grade treasure ship is 810 feet long, 36 feet high, and 180 feet wide. Is it difficult to build it?"
He had great expectations for the blueprints of the first generation of top-grade treasure ships of the Renaissance Army drawn up under the leadership of Gongshu Sheng.
Not to mention its size, it is about 30% larger than the largest and most advanced treasure ship currently owned by the Renaissance Army. Its performance has not only not decreased, but has been greatly improved.
If it can be successfully built, pass the sea trial test, and then be mass-produced, the Fuxing Navy will achieve a qualitative improvement.
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Gongshu Sheng said confidently, "After studying and learning the various weapon refining knowledge and formations you passed down, our skills have been greatly improved."
"Just the incomplete weapon refining techniques and the basic five-element formations that our Mohist school had mastered before were enough to build a treasure ship that is comparable to the best in the world today, not to mention our greatly improved skills now."
"With the cooperation of the soldiers of Xuanwu Camp, we have discovered a large number of thousand-year-old red pines in the primitive forests of Changbai Mountain, Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, etc."
"This top-grade spiritual material is in no way inferior to the thousand-year-old oak used in Western treasure ships."
"With the top-grade five-element magic array that we are going to carve, the top-grade treasure ship we will build will undoubtedly be more powerful than the current top-grade treasure ship, whether in terms of defense, speed, or transportation capacity."
"This is only the first batch of top-quality and superior treasure ships that our army is preparing to build. After a systematic construction model is formed in the future, their quality will be further improved if nothing unexpected happens."
As the contemporary leader of the Mohist school who strives for perfection, he really looks down upon the messy treasure ships currently in the Renaissance Army.
It is no exaggeration to say that the existing treasure ships of all levels have too many shortcomings.
This is the unique pride and confidence that he possesses as a grandmaster of the Mohist school.
"it is good!"
Li Dingguo clapped his hands and praised, "As long as this first top-grade treasure ship is completed and can meet the various data standards on the blueprint, I will personally reward you Mohists!"
"At least it won't be a problem for you, Master Gongshu, to break through to the sixth level."
"The resources our Fuxing Army possesses are far beyond your imagination. I, Li Dingguo, will keep my word!"
He looked at Gongshu Sheng, who was over 160 years old and had white hair, and made his promise.
It would undoubtedly be a huge loss if such a great craftsman died of old age in the near future.
"Then I would like to thank the commander-in-chief first."
"If I can go one step further, I will definitely build a better treasure ship for the Fuxing Army in the future to meet the soldiers' needs for distant sea operations."
Since joining the Fuxing Army, Gongshu Sheng has heard and witnessed how powerful the Fuxing Army is, especially the commander-in-chief Li Dingguo, whose words are always his. He was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had just come into contact with more complete and profound knowledge of various equipment refining and formation inheritance, which was extremely attractive to him.
Given the promising future of Mohism, how could he bear to die tragically of old age?
If one could successfully break through to the sixth level, his life span would be greatly increased, which would of course be a great thing.
This means that he has enough time to improve his own skills and those of the Mohist disciples.
After thousands of years of silence, the Mohist school will usher in a prosperous era, and its resurgence is inevitable.
Accompanied by the excited Gongshu Sheng, Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao inspected the entire shipyard with great interest. After proposing several requirements for improvement, they left with satisfaction.
"Huang Zhanglong, Wu Yu."
After returning to the nearby Jinzhou City, Li Dingguo called the two commanders and deputy commanders of the Xuanwu First Battalion and emphasized, "The Fourth Fleet of the Fuxing Navy reorganized by your Xuanwu First Battalion must be established within one year and the soldiers must be trained to be qualified."
"After the beginning of next spring, our army will launch a joint sea and land operation against the remnants of the Later Jin Tartars headed by Huang Taiji."
"The mission you shoulder as the Fourth Fleet will largely determine the course of this war. I hope you two will not let me down."
Li Dingguo, who had previously inspected the First Shipyard and had a clear idea of the situation, had already decided to advance the time of destroying the Later Jin Tartars.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
Huang Zhanglong and Wu Yu took the order seriously.
