Chapter 536 New Airship
Zhao Ning spent two months in Yunxia County, recruiting 5,000 recruits, and also harvested dozens of children with spiritual roots.
On this day, in the square outside the gate of the county mansion, five thousand youths were able to form Jane's formation after a short training.
At least at a glance, it won't be a bunch of people, or a bunch of people.
At this moment, the 5,000 people all put on serious expressions, but they were all just children, and the oldest was no more than fifteen years old. After all, they still had a childlike heart.
I can't help but look around, or whisper a few words with my companions around me. Countless whispers gather, and the square is always buzzing.
Zhao Ning, who was standing on the high platform in the square, didn't take it seriously. He still remembered that he was like them when he first joined the academy more than a hundred years ago.
At this moment, his eyes looked to the south, and dozens of tiny black spots appeared in the distant sky, flying towards this side.
After another cup of tea time, the recruits in the square also found a huge flying boat flying from the sky.
"Look! There are so many big birds!" A teenager exclaimed.
"It doesn't seem like a big bird, it doesn't even have wings."
"Hahaha! What a joke, how can you fly into the sky without wings."
"..."
At this time, these recruits have long forgotten what discipline is, and they are all talking about it.
After another moment, objects in the air flew over them. Only then did they realize that what flew in the air were actually huge flying boats.
This scene greatly shocked the hearts of these young people who were still planing food in the fields with their parents a few days ago.
Although they have been conscripted into the army, they have never seen the real methods of the fairy family.
From this day on, their life trajectory will be rewritten.
Soon, with shock and strong curiosity, these recruits boarded the airship for the first time in their lives.
This time, the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom used dozens of airships it had accumulated to go to various counties to receive new recruits, and then conduct unified drills.
This time, 5,000 people were recruited from each of the four counties, and a total of 20,000 recruits were recruited. After they arrived in the royal city, they would practice uniformly for five years before being assigned to various armies.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 20,000 new recruits, and all of them have arrived in the Royal City." In the main hall, Luo Zhongjie reported.
"Okay! You will go get ten bottles of mysterious spirit liquid and add them to the meals of these recruits."
The mysterious liquid that Wang Hong mentioned was the spiritual liquid transformed from a yellow-skinned gourd. He had never heard of this kind of spiritual substance before, so he gave it a name.
"Your Majesty, there are only twelve bottles of Xuanling Liquid in stock." Xu Lun hurriedly reported.
As for the efficacy of Xuanling Liquid, everyone knows now, and now I heard that ten bottles are given to these recruits at a time. If everyone is not envious, it is impossible.
Wang Hong also understood what these people were thinking, and he continued:
"Let's take out ten bottles for these recruits first. Although ten bottles are better than nothing for 20,000 people, it can improve a little qualification and speed up training.
Improving strength and training recruits are the most important things at the moment.
Although I have defeated the two big monster clans this time, the stable days I can get will definitely not be too long, and the monster clans will definitely not let me go. "
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and we are far behind!" It seems that the Ma brothers are indispensable for any occasion.
Wang Hong waved his hand to stop the Ma brothers from continuing to shoot.
"Chen Xiaofeng, in the next period of time, your Ministry of Industry needs to refine another batch of flying boats, at least to be able to transport 20,000 people at the same time."
To transport 20,000 people at the same time, if calculated by medium-sized airships, at least 200 ships are needed.
Although the army composed of warriors is powerful and capable of fighting the beast tide head-on, it also has a shortcoming.
First and second rank warriors can't fly, have poor maneuverability, and can't quickly mobilize on the battlefield. If there are enough flying boats, they can naturally make up for this shortcoming.
Moreover, the flying boat has array defenses, which are equivalent to a moving fortress, and it also has a great advantage in fighting the monster race.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has recently refined a new type of flying boat that can carry five hundred people at the same time."
Chen Xiaofeng replied, this is his new design recently, and then he brought along the refiner of the Ministry of Industry to refine it together.
"Oh! Isn't that already beyond the large airship?" Wang Hong expressed great interest in this new type of airship.
Ordinary medium-sized airships can generally carry one hundred people, and large-sized airships can only carry three hundred people. An airship that can carry five hundred people really amazed everyone present.
Hearing everyone's amazement, Chen Xiaofeng explained a little embarrassedly:
"Actually, the grade of this flying boat is only between medium and large.
We buffed its carrying capacity while weakening everything else. "
In this regard, Wang Hong was not disappointed, but even more interested.
"Does that mean that the cost of construction is not high?"
If it really surpasses a large airship, the cost will definitely not be low, but this is more applicable.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cost of a new airship is roughly equivalent to two medium-sized airships."
"Okay! Then build a hundred ships first, and allocate twenty ships for the transportation between the royal city and the four major counties."
Now that there is a better solution, only 40 ships are needed to solve the problem that previously required 200 ships to complete.
Wang Hong can naturally mobilize some to strengthen the connection between cities.
"The Ministry of Industry has made great contributions, and the remaining two bottles of Xuanling Liquid in the warehouse should be rewarded to the Ministry of Industry."
Seeing that Chen Xiaofeng got two more bottles of spiritual liquid, everyone cast envious glances at him.
Afterwards, everyone discussed many things before finally dispersing.
After Wang Hong returned to the palace where he lived, he retreated to the left and right, and his mind entered the space again.
In more than a year since the war, hundreds of years have passed in the space, and the newly grown gourd vines once again covered an acre of land.
Moreover, these gourd vines are still growing, and there is no sign of flowering and fruiting yet.
The yellow-skinned gourd that was picked before is placed in the space, and it can be transformed into a gourd of mysterious spirit liquid every one hundred years.
He divided each pot of spiritual liquid into ten parts, packed them in jade bottles, and distributed them to his subordinates as rewards.
According to the results of using the spiritual liquid by many subordinates, this spiritual liquid can obviously improve the qualifications of both monks and warriors.
Based on Wang Hong’s experience in taking it, it can be inferred that each person can take up to ten bottles, which can improve people’s cultivation qualifications by two levels.
The so-called two levels are just like Wang Hong, who was originally only a four-spiritual root, but after drinking a gourd liquid, his cultivation aptitude is almost the same as that of two spiritual roots.
If he took ten bottles of spiritual liquid with five spiritual roots, it meant that his aptitude could reach the level of three spiritual roots.
At the same time, Wang Hong also thought of one thing, what would happen if a monk with a single or two spiritual roots took ten bottles?
