……
The vast blue waters of Qingluo Sea are clear and clean, but the water temperature is cold.
In this sea area, all kinds of fresh seafood grow slowly, which further enhances the quality and flavor of these seafood. Once upon a time, this vast sea area was dotted with fishing boats and produced a lot of produce.
It's a pity that in the Qingluo Sea area, pirates have gradually become more and more prosperous since I don't know when. As a result, the fishery economy has almost come to a standstill, and the number of commercial ships has decreased by 80 to 90% compared to a hundred years ago.
Only merchant ships from big families such as the Cao family and the Fang family can sail unimpeded in this sea area.
At this moment.
In this vast sea, a fleet of ships is forming a stable formation, cutting through the wind and waves, and moving forward quickly.
Among this fleet, the most eye-catching one is a large merchant ship with a unique style.
This ship is called "Luomiao" and it is the latest merchant ship jointly built by the Chen family of Donggang and the Wang family of Changning.
It does not have several towering masts like ordinary sea ships. Instead, a huge cylindrical object is erected where the mast should be.
Its size is also much larger than that of ordinary seagoing ships. Many joints have used the latest steel structures. In addition to traditional sails, a huge power cabin is also set up at the bottom of the cabin. , which houses a huge boiler and a propeller propelled by a steam structure.
This is the latest refining product launched by Wang's secret research institute - "Wang's Steam Engine".
Speaking of the steam engine, it is one of the greatest tools that promotes the progress of civilization on earth. Every ordinary person knows the principle of a steam engine, but most ordinary people do not know the specific structure of a steam engine.
Just like Wang Shouzhe, he certainly knew that steam could be used to generate power, and he also vaguely knew some general structures. But if you want him to suddenly design a whole set of steam engine structures, that's something you can't do even if you kill him.
Fortunately, after decades of development, Wang's research institution already has a lot of talents inside. Regarding the subject of steam power, Wang Shouzhe had already put forward the concepts and principles, as well as the general structural direction and ideas decades ago.
The structure of steam power is actually not complicated, and there is no shortage of smart people in the world. The reason why we encounter technical bottlenecks is that many times we just lack an idea and direction.
After having a clear idea and direction, the blacksmith, the refiner and the technical staff, with the encouragement of Qianjin, gradually overcame various difficulties, which took decades. Such a steam power system was developed that was huge in structure but seemed very primitive.
But no matter how primitive it is, it is still a steam system. It is a "high-end technology" at the primary level of "boiling water" and is much more advanced than pure sail kinetic energy.
You must know that the biggest problem limiting the development of the shipping industry is the cargo carrying capacity of ships. Because only a strong enough cargo carrying capacity can bring enough profits.
What limits the cargo capacity of ships is actually power.
Using sails as power is not only easily affected by climate and ocean currents, but is forced to stop sailing for nearly half of the year. There is also an upper limit to the power it can provide, and the transportation speed is really not that fast.
But with a steam system as power, there is no such problem.
The upper limit of the power that a steam system can generate is much higher than that of a sail. Moreover, steam power is more stable than sail power. It is very little affected by climate and ocean currents, and can provide powerful power stably and for a long time. Even if you are going against the current, your speed will never be too slow.
In addition, because the price of coal is very low in this world, its consumption is not high.
Based on this, the shipping industry still has huge development potential in the future.
However, as of now, Wang's steam power system is still in the experimental state and needs to be continuously improved in practice. It is far from being ready for large-scale production.
"Luomiao Hao" is Wang's test work.
At the same time, this large merchant ship named "Luomiao" is also the flagship of the entire fleet.
It carries the most precious foreign glass products, and twelve divine cannons are installed on the ship. Its defensive power is so powerful that it is no exaggeration to call it a "mobile war fortress on the sea."
Compared with the Luo Miao, the defense capabilities of the other nine merchant ships are much inferior. Each merchant ship only has one divine cannon.
The front deck of the "Luomiao" is very high, five or six feet high from the water level, which makes it look far more majestic than ordinary seagoing ships.
At this moment, at the front of the deck, next to a divine cannon, there was a woman standing pretty.
She looks quite handsome, with her long hair simply tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head, and there are no extra decorations on her body. Set off by the Xuanwu costume and cloak, her figure looks tall and exquisite, and she looks heroic, very valiant and neat.
This woman is naturally the person in charge of this fleet this time, Wang Luomiao.
Generally, for women from high-ranking Xuanwu families, some of the best ones will go to the academy, while most of the rest will marry and have children to join the family. Especially some women who come from the direct lineage, most of the time You simply cannot control your own marriage.
Cao Lina is a typical example. As a direct descendant of the Cao family from far away, her qualifications were not bad, but she could only follow her family's arrangements and marry Qian Qinhong of the Qian family of Longzuo as her second wife.
However, Wang is a little different.
Under Wang Shouzhe's insistence, all women in the Wang clan enjoyed the same rights and treatment as men, including marriage. Any Wang family woman has the right to choose to marry or not to marry. The family will only give suggestions but not force. Even more powerful than the men in the family. After all, if some men do not get married and have children for a long time, the family will take certain measures...
At this point, Wang Shouzhe received strong support from Longyan Ancestor.
Therefore, Wang Shouzhe's half-sister Wang Luomiao has never married so far. Like other men of her generation in the family, she used her own efforts and abilities to support the family.
Sea trade has always been difficult.
Wang Luomiao chose this method to shoulder part of the responsibility for the family and to shoulder part of the burden for his brother Wang Shouzhe. In the past twenty years, she has learned everything she can learn bit by bit, growing step by step and integrating step by step.
The sea breeze blows, and the cloak hunts.
With the passage of time, the ignorant girl at the beginning has gradually transformed into a mature and capable female hero.
"Miss Luo Miao, it's windy outside."
At some point, a handsome and elegant young man appeared behind Wang Luomiao.
He looked at Wang Luomiao and said with concern: "You should go back and have a rest first~ In this Qingluo Sea, no pirate has dared to touch a ship flying the Fang family's flag."
Although this caravan belongs to the Wang family's in-law alliance, it is dedicated to trade with the Liaoyuan Fang family. Due to the huge profits, the Fang family paid more and more attention to this trade line, and sent Fang Jinghui, the current generation of the family, to be responsible for following up on the connection.
This young man is naturally Fang Jinghui.
The two parties have cooperated for twenty years, and their relationship has become increasingly close.
Fang Jinghui is a few years older than Luo Miao. Although he has an elegant and elegant temperament, his strength has reached the peak of the third level of Lingtai Realm. If you go to the academy, you will definitely be a core disciple of Ji Mingyu's level.
It can be seen that the Liaoyuan Fang family's heritage has far exceeded that of the average sixth-grade family, and now it happens to be on the verge of impacting the fifth-grade Zifu family. Once they successfully attack the Zifu, and add Fang Youan, a direct disciple of Longzuo Zifu Academy as an aid, they will have great potential for future development.
"Mr. Jinghui." Wang Luomiao nodded slightly in greeting, "This time there is a large amount of glassware on the ship. I'd better keep an eye on it so that I can respond quickly if something happens."
As the direct sister of the head of the family, Wang Luomiao has received first-class education and resources since she was a child.
Although she was unable to obtain the primary bloodline qualification improvement fluid due to the depletion of resources in the subsequent Shenwu Dynasty trial field, she is Wang Shouzhe's biological sister, and Wang Shouzhe will not treat her badly.
After completing the three elixirs of "spirit enlightenment", "blood tempering" and "marrow cleansing", her bloodline qualifications have reached the level of a middle-grade third-level little genius. Later, among the batch of Wedding Clothes Blood Gu obtained by Wang Shouzhe, one was specially reserved for her. After using it, her bloodline qualifications were able to cross the threshold between middle-grade and high-grade, reaching the top-grade D level.
Now, she is already a genius of a generation.
However, after all, she is ten years younger than Wang Shouzhe, and she started a little later. Her current strength is only in the middle and lower stages of the third level of Lingtai Realm, and she is still a little far away from breaking through to the middle level of Lingtai Realm.
With such bloodline talents, although there is still a slight risk in advancing to the Purple Mansion realm, it is not difficult to advance to the Heavenly Realm. What's more, Wang's is now in a stage of rapid development, with annual income from various industries gradually rising.
Just like the Ice Demon Floating Island developed under the leadership of Xuegong, it has now entered the stage of annual income of hundreds of thousands. Shouda Trading Company, which had previously invested heavily, has already recovered its capital, and its annual income is extremely impressive.
What everyone in the Wang family is most looking forward to is Xin'an Town. Now Xin'an Town has begun large-scale land reclamation, and the number of fertile fields has been rising again and again, bringing considerable profits to the Wang family, which mainly grows grain.
Furthermore, Xin'an Town is a newly opened town. According to Daqian Law, it can enjoy the preferential treatment of being exempted from national and county taxes for thirty years. It only needs to pay the Changning Guard's health tax and the Wang family's family tax. If it is farmland registered in the name of the Wang family, even this 10% family tax will be exempted.
Therefore, Xin'an Town's income is particularly considerable.
After having money, Wang Shouzhe began to search everywhere for marrow cleansing pills, Wuji treasure pills, etc. that could improve his qualifications. With Wang Luomiao's status and family contribution, he may not be able to get another Wuji Treasure Pill in the future.
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
Seeing Wang Luomiao's firm attitude, Fang Jinghui sighed helplessly: "In that case, I will talk to Miss Luomiao here~"
With that said, he walked up to Wang Luomiao and said in a chatty tone: "We will arrive at Fang's Panshui Port in five or six days. It will take a few days to unload the cargo. Luo Miao What are your plans, young lady? Don’t plan to go shopping anywhere..."
While the two were talking.
Suddenly.
A sharp and piercing scream suddenly sounded.
That was when the lookout on the observation deck discovered the enemy's situation and blew the warning whistle.
In an instant, everyone in the merchant ship team became tense. Wang Luomiao and Fang Jinghui immediately stopped talking and looked up at the observation tower.
On the observation deck, the deputy was waving flags in an orderly manner and conveying messages in flag language.
"The pirates are coming?" Fang Jinghui's expression changed, "Which pirate dared to rob even our merchant ships?"
Wang Luomiao's face turned cold, and he immediately made a series of deployments and arrangements based on the number and direction of the pirate ships conveyed by the flag language.
As the flagship, the "Luo Miao" turned around and actively blocked the direction of the incoming pirates. On the deck, the twelve divine cannons were all loaded with shells and ready for battle.
All non-combatants hid in the cabin, and those left on the deck were all capable Xuanwu monks and servants who knew how to operate the divine cannon.
It is impossible for a merchant ship to outrun the pirates due to its large cargo capacity. It is most cost-effective to rely on the advantage of the "telescope" to discover the enemy's situation first and set up a defensive formation.
Almost at the same time that the fleet completed its dispatch, dozens of small dots appeared on the vast sea. They were dozens of small and medium-sized speedboats, with bulging sails, coming at great speed in the direction of the wind.
After the dozens of clippers, several large sea-going ships followed. The speed of these large sea ships is slightly slower than the speed ships, but they are more than twice as fast as the large sea ships used by the caravans to carry cargo.
Above these ships, the flags of the pirates were flying high, giving everyone in the caravan a strong sense of oppression before they even got close.
Soon, the Clippers became more and more clear in everyone's field of vision, and the distance between the two sides began to shrink rapidly.
A fierce naval battle began.
The thunderous roar of the divine cannon exploded into waves on the sea. If you are lucky enough, you can even sink a small speedboat.
As the pirates quickly approached, the opponent's ballista also began to counterattack.
However, compared with the clean results of the divine cannon, the effectiveness of the ballista suddenly pales in comparison.
"Damn it!" Nie Long, the rough-looking leader of the pirates, was so angry that his eyes almost burst out with fire. "How can the **** divine cannon be so powerful?"
He had also heard before that Wang and Chen's divine cannons were extremely powerful, and he even scorned them. Unexpectedly, now they have tasted the pain. Not only were many brothers killed by the divine cannon, but many of the ships were also destroyed. .
"Brothers, keep rushing!"
Nie Long was so angry that his red hair stood out, and his aura suddenly surged.
At the same time, he stepped on the deck with one leg, and suddenly he rose into the air, stepped in the air, and flew away in the direction of the Luomiao.
But in a moment, his figure had already reached the sky above the caravan's flagship Luo Miao.
As he opened his right hand, a thick-backed sword suddenly appeared in his palm. It was a magic weapon-level long sword.
This was given to him by Cao Youbin, the previous head of the Cao family, when he was promoted to the Heavenly Realm. Otherwise, with his strength and financial resources, it would not be that easy to get such a magic sword.
Nie Long held the sword in both hands and slashed towards the flagship with a sharp slash.
In an instant, a massive amount of profound energy surged out, condensing into a semicircular sword light several feet in size and whizzing away, majestic, domineering and tragic.
Obviously, Nie Long is a master of swordsmanship and has already understood some of the meaning of the sword.
At this moment, he was suspended in the air, his burly body like a hill, and the profound energy fluctuations all over his body were surging, like a raging wave. Coupled with the overwhelming sword light, he was really powerful.
Even if it seems like he just struck the sword at random, the power of this sword is still enough to cut the waves and captivate the soul.
This is the power of heaven and man!
When a Celestial Realm Xuanwu monk goes all out to attack, the combat power that breaks out is extremely terrifying. No matter what kind of merchant ships or what kind of powerful cannons, they are of no use at all.
This is also the reason why as long as a Celestial Ancestor exists, he can dominate a place and become a powerful force.
The monks in the heavenly realm have already separated from the mortal level, and it is very possible to destroy an ordinary eighth-grade family by themselves. And at critical moments, it can often influence the direction of a small-scale war.
"No, it's the 'Red-haired Dragon King' Nie Long, Miss Luomiao, be careful!" Fang Jinghui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood in front of Wang Luomiao. He pressed his left hand, and a spiritual shield spun up and flew up. Open an energy shield to block both of them.
It's just that with his strength, trying to block this move is just like a mantis.
At this critical moment, a long whistle suddenly sounded inside the "Luomiao". I saw a blue water dragon bursting out of the cabin, hitting the sword light like a sharp arrow.
"Boom!"
The two energies collided violently, and a shock wave spread in all directions. The masts and decks of the "Luomiao" were all broken.
At the same time.
A tall and burly old man, holding a silver spear, flew out of the cabin and floated in the air opposite the "Red-haired Dragon King" Nie Long. He laughed loudly: "Nie Long, I am here. It’s not your turn to be arrogant.”
"Is it you? Chen Ruhong, the ancestor of the Chen family?" Nie Long's pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became serious, "You didn't stay well in Donggang, and you actually came out to follow the boat?"
He was also very afraid of Chen Ruhong. It was rumored that after this man was promoted to the Heavenly Realm, he had wiped out several waves of pirates in the East China Sea, including even one from the Heavenly Realm.
The great sea pirate has been rampant in the waters near the East China Sea for more than a hundred years. Even the Donghai King and others of the East China Sea Guard were helpless against him, but he died at the hands of Chen Ruhong, a newly promoted celestial being.
That battle also made Chen Ruhong famous, and all the young people in the East China Sea huddled up.
Many people have speculated that Chen Ruhong's bloodline talent may not be simple, otherwise it would not be possible for him to be promoted so quickly and have the strength to kill his peers.
"I am going out, naturally, to wipe out you little bastards." Chen Ruhong said with an indifferent expression, "Nie Long, today is the day you die."
"Chen Ruhong, don't be too arrogant! I, Nie Long, have been running rampant in Qingluo Sea for many years, and my cultivation level is much higher than yours. Why are you going to kill me?" Nie Long became angry with shame, and his aura surged, and he stabbed him with a knife. He cuts it off.
This sword was not as casual as the previous one. Instead, it was used with full force in a serious manner. The force of the sword became more and more domineering, with a tragic connotation of indomitable progress.
"Huh~!"
Chen Ruhong snorted coldly, raised his gun and faced him without fear.
"Boom!"
The two heavenly beings were fighting in the air, and even the sea beneath their feet was shaken by waves.
Under Chen Ruhong's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two of them kept fighting away from the Luomiao to avoid hurting innocent people.
This scene made Fang Jinghui full of surprises: "Miss Luo Miao, senior Ru Hong is also secretly guarding you? In this way, this wave of pirates is doomed. Let's kill the enemy together, first kill the pirates' minions Defeated."
"Alas~ Mr. Jinghui, I'm afraid you are thinking too simply. This pirate raid is no accident." Wang Luomiao sighed and looked at Fang Jinghui helplessly.
Speaking of which, Fang Jinghui should only need to be picked up in Panggang, Liaoyuan. He had to **** him back and forth in person several times. How could she, Wang Luomiao, not know what he was thinking?
It's not that she, Wang Luomiao, is ruthless, it's just that she has seen too many outstanding children in her family, and Fang Jinghui's overall performance can only be described as mediocre.
Not to mention compared to her brother Wang Shouzhe, even her brothers Shouyong and Shoulian are far behind.
Speaking of this shipping, it was her brother Wang Shouzhe who planned it. The goods of these ten merchant ships were all genuine, but her brother used them as bait to lure the secret enemy into action.
Wang Luomiao has no way of knowing why her brother knew something was going to happen, but she has witnessed too many miracles since she was a child and has unconditional trust in her brother.
This time, my brother caught me again.
"Miss Luo Miao, are you saying that there was someone behind this pirate attack?" Fang Jinghui was not too stupid after all, and he immediately thought of something, "Is it possible? The Cao family? The Cao family has always coveted the interests of our maritime trade. It was just that more than ten years ago, it offended the Qing'an Zuoqiu family and left them too busy to take care of themselves."
He just finished speaking.
On the pirate flagship, another monk with a powerful aura rose into the sky. In just a few breaths, he arrived above the "Luomiao". He stood in the air with his hands on his back: "Your caravan, unexpectedly There is also the Heavenly Realm guarding you secretly. Huh, I have underestimated you. Unfortunately, with me, Cao Bangyan, none of you can escape today."
"Cao Bangyan! How could it be you? You, you, you, you are so brave." Fang Jinghui's face turned pale again. Compared to pirates like Nie Long, Cao Bangyan was extremely famous in Liaoyuan County. A great genius.
It is also rumored that this son has always been ruthless and ruthless in his actions. Anyone who offended him would end up miserable. Fang Jinghui had even heard rumors that Cao Bangyan was a lustful ghost, and that countless girls from eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families were targeted and secretly raped.
It’s just that these are just rumors with no real evidence, and no one dares to accuse Cao Bangyan.
"Fang Jinghui, hehehe~" Cao Bangyan laughed jokingly, "You are too stupid, this sea of Qingluo is vast. When you are all dead, who knows that I did it?"
"You..." Fang Jinghui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Just when he was about to retort, Wang Luomiao gently pulled his arm and pulled him behind him. She raised her head and said loudly, "Cao Bangyan, what happened? What made you drive the pirates to rob our merchant ships?"
Cao Bangyan slowly floated down to the boat and stared at Wang Luomiao greedily: "Little sister, are you Luomiao, the direct queen of the Wang family? As expected, you are as charming and charming as the rumors say. As long as you are willing to obey. Me, I will spare your life."
"Beast..." Fang Jinghui was furious. Just when he was about to rush forward, he was grabbed by Wang Luomiao and thrown backward. She said calmly and calmly: "You are also a genius, so it's okay if I obey you. However, our Wang family has never offended your Cao family, why do you want to attack us?"
"Luo Miao..." Fang Jinghui fell to the ground with a look of shock, grief and anger.
"Interesting, interesting, are you trying to trick me?" Cao Bangyan burst out laughing, "However, since you, a little beauty, are so sensible, I will let you be sensible. You king Shi, if you offend someone you can't afford to offend, you will be finished soon."
"Who did we offend?" Wang Luomiao frowned slightly, "Did we offend the 'Red-haired Dragon King' Nie Long by suppressing the pirates? Why is he so powerful that he can drive Mr. Cao?"
"Nie Long? Damn, Nie Long is just a dog raised by our Cao family. How dare he drive this young master?" Cao Bangyan looked proud and looked at Wang Luomiao constantly. "You little beauty, don't be too ignorant..."
"Sister-in-law, my task has been completed, have you recorded it all?" Wang Luomiao suddenly said to behind him.
"It's recorded." A clear and cold voice sounded, and a person suddenly appeared on the ship's side deck, a woman wearing a bamboo hat whose true appearance could not be seen clearly.
In her delicate hands, she also held a strange prop the size of a disk. Anyone with some knowledge will know that it is a very precious spiritual treasure, the "Tianji Photo Disk".
It is extremely difficult to refine this item, and no refiner in Daqian can produce it. Only a certain weapon-refining family from the legendary "Hanyue Immortal Dynasty" could imitate the Tianji photo disk of the Shenwu Dynasty.
This item was a rare item in the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty, and it was extremely valuable in the Daqian Kingdom, and no ordinary family could afford it.
Fifteen years ago, Wang Shouzhe took a liking to it after seeing its magical effects. It took a lot of favors and gold to get such a piece. No, it played a role at the critical moment.
"Who are you? That's a Tianji photo disk!" Cao Bangyan's face turned cold and he said coldly, "You were trying to trick me just now?"
Wang Luomiao curled her lips and said: "Idiot, have you just woken up now? With your intelligence, you actually want to deal with our Wang family... Who are you looking down on?"
"You!" Cao Bangyan was so angry that he almost vomited blood and said with an angry smile, "Okay, okay, I admit that I am angered by you. I will let you two..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
I saw a flash of water in front of my eyes. I don't know when the woman in the bamboo hat had come closer. She raised her wrist lightly and gave a light palm in the air.
"Boom!"
Cao Bangyan felt as if his chest was hit by an ancient giant beast, his ribs cracked and shattered, and his body flew backwards like a divine cannon shell. After smashing the railing of the ship, the castration was not gone, and he flew again. After traveling more than a hundred feet, he fell into the sea.
"This..." Fang Jinghui's pupils shrank sharply. The proud genius of the Cao family was actually knocked away with one move! Although there is a suspicion of surprise, but that mysterious woman is too powerful, right?
"Ouch~~" Wang Luomiao curled her lips and sneered, "What kind of genius is Cao Bangyan? You think so, this lady thinks he is so powerful."
"Sister-in-law is mighty, sister-in-law is domineering!"
