At the East China Sea harbor, hundreds of ships are anchored at the dock, with sails like clouds and boats stretching for miles, creating a magnificent scene.
These are the latest types of ships designed by the Gewuyuan, capable of sailing long distances on the ocean.
At that time, the Qin State was still in the initial stage of exploration of the ocean. Without detailed navigation charts and experienced sailors and captains, sailing on the sea was extremely risky. Once encountering extremely bad weather, the ship might be destroyed and people might die.
Running aground, ships being damaged, and getting lost at sea are common occurrences.
But these difficulties and obstacles could not stop the gold diggers.
"There's a ship coming! That's Scar's ship! Gold! Mountains of gold! Damn it, I've been sailing many times and never encountered any gold, but this bastard got a great bargain!"
"The overseas land is really as full of gold and silver as the rumors say. As long as I find a treasure, I will never worry about money in this life! I can have as many beauties as I want! I will not miss the opportunity to get rich overnight!"
"Speaking of which, the maids in the Shen's Chamber of Commerce's painting studio are really skilled in maid skills. They are all well-behaved and docile. When I have money, I will buy a few and have them serve me well."
The sailors and servants on the dock were talking among themselves, most of them were excited inside and had greedy eyes.
All of this is closely related to Su Xuan.
Long before he visited the various schools of thought, he had already started the Age of Discovery.
The method he used was simple. He had people sail overseas and return with a ship full of gold and jewelry. He then spread the news widely to attract the attention of gold diggers.
When shipload after shipload of gold was shipped back, who wouldn’t be jealous? Who wouldn’t rush to get it?
Gold diggers, adventurers, merchants, batches of people began to venture into the sea. After several months, the shipping industry developed rapidly. With the establishment of shipyards, Sanghai City has gradually gained the title of the maritime capital.
The Qin navy also had sufficient understanding of the surrounding waters. The Silla maids and servants on the merchant ships came from Japan and Korea.
At the beginning, the two countries were unwilling to trade. Faced with their unreasonable demands, the Qin navy had no choice but to use strong ships and powerful guns to open their doors and force them to sign a series of friendly treaties, such as ceding land and paying compensation, stationing troops in ports, tax exemption regulations, and so on.
By dumping goods on a large scale, the Qin State acquired a huge amount of wealth, while commodities such as spices, sugarcane, pepper, olive oil, coffee, etc. were used to meet the domestic needs of the Qin State.
Su Xuan walked on the ship, looked at the buildings and layout, and nodded with satisfaction.
This is a ship that is hundreds of meters long. The hull is majestic and the keel is made of the rare Luoyuan wood. Pavilions and towers are clearly located, mainly in red and gold tones. Su Xuan even saw an aquarium with fish swimming in it.
He glanced at Yan Lingji and Jing Wei beside him with an admiring attitude.
Well, mermaids and giant salamanders.
This building ship was built with great effort by Gongshu Chou. It can be said to be a scaled-down version of a mirage. However, unlike the original, this building ship is equipped with a power device. As long as the direction of the rudder is controlled well, it can quickly reach the destination.
The sails on the mast slowly rose and fluttered in the wind. The ship named Longteng set sail quickly, riding the wind and waves, like a steel beast, full of power, which made people unconsciously marvel.
After sailing for hundreds of nautical miles, thick fog suddenly rose from the sea, and a looming giant stone statue appeared in everyone's sight.
"This is Dayu!" Yu Lingxin recognized the statue at a glance. "The ancestors of our Yuyuan clan once left a record that there is a strange beast called Mirage on the sea. It can swallow clouds and spit out mist and has the ability to create illusions. Once a ship encounters a Mirage, it will never be able to return."
"Little Pixiu, have you ever seen a mirage?" Honglian stroked Pixiu's head and asked.
When Su Xuan took out the power of dragon soul from the Pixiu's body, the Pixiu became listless. After more than half a year of being fed with meteorite iron and exotic metals, it has completely recovered.
There is no girl who doesn't like this furry, round, cute little guy. Honglian especially likes to hold it in her arms and use it as a warm baby in winter.
"Xiu Xiu!" The little Pi Xiu shook his head and looked at the thick fog in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
It and the mirage are both dragons. If the mirage is nearby, it can sense it more or less, but it can sense nothing now.
"The fat of the mirage dragon is an excellent material for making perfume. I would like to see this legendary beast." Madam Mingzhu folded her arms around her chest and giggled.
"Aren't you afraid that it will eat you?" Honglian rolled her eyes.
"You should worry more about yourself. After all, you are a landlubber." Mrs. Mingzhu smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not afraid!" Honglian snorted coldly, "Xiao Xiuxiu will take me flying, right, Xiao Xiuxiu?"
The kid nodded quickly.
"You have Xiao Xiuxiu, and I have my husband." She hugged Su Xuan's arm, "If I really encounter danger, my husband will take me away."
"You!" Honglian's face turned red.
He says shameless things all day long that make people think too much!
"If you want to save someone, you should save me first, right, husband?" Honglian looked at Su Xuan expectantly.
"I won't let you get into danger." Faced with this kind of problem, Su Xuan directly blocked it at the source.
Looking at the misty fog in front of him, he gently shouted at the wind, as if he was holding the law of heaven and his words were followed by laws. In an instant, the clouds and fog dissipated, and the blue sea level was exposed.
After playing a few rounds of mahjong and a few small games with the girls, Su Xuan found a secluded room, took out all the things used by Donghuang Taiyi from the storage space, and began to cast the curse.
As soon as it is used, the lifespan begins to be rapidly consumed, fifty years, one hundred years, two hundred years!
Su Xuan frowned, looking surprised. How could he still be alive after living for two hundred years?
Three hundred years! Five hundred years!
Even though he had consumed five hundred years of his life, he could still sense that vague connection.
Looking at the line 520/5100 in the life span column, he thought about it and decided to spend another years, regardless of success or failure.
He was willing to sacrifice a thousand years of his own life to kill Donghuang Taiyi. This was how much he valued the old villain!
???
Seeing that he had wasted a thousand years of his life but still failed to kill Donghuang Taiyi, Su Xuan was full of question marks.
He also has the original crystal, but the life energy contained in it can only extend his life by a few hundred years at most. The lifespan of the acquired gods is limited to this.
Donghuang Taiyi?
