I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

In the Celestial Empire, the prices of food and other daily necessities had become extremely cheap, reaching the level of later generations.

The variety of material living materials may not be as rich as in later generations, but in terms of ordinary food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is definitely above the level of food and clothing.

As long as you are not hopelessly lazy, you will definitely not worry about three meals a day.

This is the power of supernatural powers.

In later generations, the cultivation of crops such as grain will still be restricted by the geographical environment, temperature and climate, and the growing time will also be limited.

With the help of supernatural powers, there are basically no restrictions on the growth of crops.

Whether it is fertile plains or plateaus and mountains; whether it is dry or cold, any crops can be grown, but the harvest will ultimately be different.

However, this is already a great blessing for many poor mountainous areas, arid and even cold north.

What's more, the time it takes for crops to mature has been greatly shortened, from half a year to two or three months, or even one month, and there are bumper harvests every season.

Under such circumstances, the people of the Celestial Empire would not suffer from hunger, and their situation might even be much better than many places in later generations.

And as everyone was able to reach the poverty line, another thing happened that made the dynasty happy.

That is the birth of a newborn.

Without worries about food and drink and without the various entertainment options of later generations, what could one do after dark?

Make babies, make babies all the time!

According to the review of the newly established Population Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Households, the number of pregnant women in China is soaring, and basically all women of marriageable age are pregnant.

It is foreseeable that by the end of this year, China's population will experience an epic explosive growth and will surely break through the 200 million mark.

Faced with this situation, Wang Chao immediately established maternity and child hospitals in various places in the name of the future Queen Ji Nanyue to provide protection for pregnant women and infants.

The birth of every citizen of the Celestial Empire is an inestimable asset to the Celestial Empire and the dynasty.

Naturally, he would try his best to avoid things like infant mortality, difficult labor, etc.

Perhaps among them, there will be a genius who will evolve a new status, open up a new path, broaden and complete the cornerstone of the dynasty system, and push the dynasty to a further step.

On the other side, after a day and a night, the train entered Suzhou Prefecture.

Then, under the guidance of local officials, he went to the Jiangnan Shipyard.

A huge steel ship slowly slid into the water, splashing large waves.

After rising and falling for a while, the huge steel ship stopped steadily on the water.

Wang Chao, leading hundreds of civil and military officials and countless common people, had been watching all this nervously.

The dynasty did not intend to conceal the fact that the Celestial Empire had built a giant steel ship. Instead, it carried out large-scale publicity and allowed the people to go and see it.

Therefore, in addition to the civil and military officials led by the dynasty, there were also countless people watching at the scene.

When the huge steel ship was floating steadily above the river, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Hoo~!"

Then, everyone looked at each other and smiled excitedly.

"Haha, really, it really can float"

“It turns out that steel can float on water.”

“It turns out that ships can be built with steel.”

Although it has the endorsement of the dynasty, it has long been basically confirmed that the giant steel ship can be built successfully.

But after seeing it with their own eyes, everyone still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"These are all brought by His Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty is truly a holy monarch throughout the ages."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is the Emperor of Heaven who has descended to earth. How can he be compared to an ordinary emperor?"

“That’s right, that’s right.”

"Well, if that's the case, then His Majesty can become the eternal emperor, and we don't have to worry about future emperors being stupid anymore?"

"This"

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Think about the current situation, the trains that travel thousands of miles a day across the north, south, east and west, the huge steel ship that entered the water today, the Qi that is nourished in the body, the magical powers of the officers of the Celestial Empire, etc.

This seems to be no different from the legendary fairyland.

Involuntarily, everyone's breathing began to become heavier.

This seems to be possible.

If this is the case, and the current emperor is the Emperor of Heaven, then can they, the people of the Celestial Empire, also be considered immortals and gods?

At the end, everyone looked at each other and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty will be immortal, and the Heavenly Dynasty will prosper forever!"

"Your Majesty will be immortal, and the Heavenly Dynasty will prosper forever!"

As if it were contagious, the sound spread wider and wider, and the sound waves reached the sky.

With the gathering of public opinion, a hint of purple emerged, which eventually turned into an overwhelming purple aura, converging towards the direction of the dynasty.

The dense light hanging from the sky above suddenly grew several times larger and was tinged with a purple halo.

The strands of silk hang down like a crown bestowed by heaven and earth, or like a garland canopy condensed from heaven and earth.

In an instant, Wang Chao's spiritual realm was elevated again.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of many people became even more excited, and endless purple air rose.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chao looked to his side.

The eunuch who announced the decree walked out slowly and unfolded an imperial edict. His mighty voice resounded through heaven and earth and could be heard throughout the entire Celestial Empire.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Earth, decrees:

Name it: Jiaolong! "

Jiaolong, or Jiaolong No. 1, is not only the name of this warship, but also the name of this type of warship.

However, the only warship that can be directly called Jiaolong is this first one.

The others can only be called Jiaolong 2, Jiaolong 3, etc.

The Jiaolong can be said to be an opportunity for the Celestial Empire to truly go to the sea and build a navy, so the dynasty naturally attached great importance to it.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that when the railway was built, it was just the occupation of a province and did not have that much power, he would have definitely spread it throughout the country.

Things like this that can change the times naturally need to be taken seriously.

By spreading the news throughout the country in this way, the dynasty wanted to tell the people of the world how much importance the dynasty attached to the navy, water transport, maritime trade, etc.

In this way, no one will slack off, the ideological shackles of the former Ming Dynasty's closure of the sea can be broken, and the lucky mentality of some people can be broken.

The moment the eunuch announced the decree, the imperial edict began to shine brightly, and when his words fell, a golden dragon suddenly rose from the imperial edict.

"Ang~!"

The golden dragon roared and circled around the Jiangnan Shipyard, making it visible to all the people around.

At this moment, everyone who was shouting in unison could not help but stop shouting and stared blankly at the golden dragon in the sky.

Boundless spiritual power gathered and surged into the golden dragon's body, being transformed into dragon energy and national destiny.

However, this part of power did not dissipate into the world, but was stored in the golden dragon's body.

After wandering for a week, the golden dragon came in front of Wang Chao and others again, lowered its head slightly, and opened its mouth slightly.

In an instant, the imperial edict in the hands of the eunuch began to vibrate and hum.

The moment the Xuan paper eunuch loosened his grip, the imperial edict flew up instantly and sank into the dragon's mouth.

"Ang~!"

The golden dragon roared again, circled slightly, and then rushed towards the huge steel ship on the river.

"Ah~!"

Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Before anyone could react, the golden dragon had already crashed into the giant steel ship.

However, the collision that everyone imagined did not occur.

"boom!"

The moment the two sides came into contact, endless golden light exploded, submerging the entire steel ship.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light converged and seemed to sink into the giant steel ship.

On both sides of the giant steel ship, three large gilded characters appeared.

Jiaolong

And on the desk in the command room inside the cabin, the imperial edict was quietly floating half a foot high.

A wisp of golden light lingered, faintly resonating with the iron warship.

Next, General Li Shu, the Zhenhai General, led a group of crew members and boarded the Jiaolong warship together with Wang Chao and others.

Accompanied by a roar, a column of white smoke shot up into the sky and the sound of a whistle spread in all directions.

Runes glowed one after another, spreading from the steam engine to the captain's room, propeller and other places, ensuring that the captain and crew could operate the Jiaolong more easily.

Wang Chao looked at the mysterious combination of runes that were emitting streams of light and drawing energy from the air, the boiler, and the flames, and his heart was filled with ripples.

He doubted that if things continued like this, China would soon enter the era of rune energy.

Think of the internal combustion engines, generators, and so on that seem to be on the verge of success.

I really don’t know how long the future technological era he led and created can last.

However, the dynasty was not depressed, but instead had a hint of expectation.

The future technology is only in the imagination of later generations, but perhaps the craftsmen in the Celestial Empire will create it in an alternative way.

"Weigh the anchor! Sail!"

As the commands were given one after another, the humming Jiaolong shook violently and slowly moved.

Then, the speed of the Jiaolong became faster and faster, and soon it exceeded the speed of ordinary sailboats by several times, leaving a deep white wave on the water.

Looking at the giant steel ship gradually disappearing, people on the shore began to talk.

"This new warship actually doesn't need sails or oars."

"Hey, this isn't surprising, right? Trains don't require horses or cattle to run them, right?"

"Yes, although I have already determined it in my heart, it is still very moving to see it all with my own eyes."

"We are truly experiencing an unprecedented change and prosperity.

How lucky I am! "

"Prosperous times. What kind of peaceful and prosperous times can compare to today?

This is the Celestial Empire, the Kingdom of Heaven."

Looking at the direction where the Jiaolong disappeared, everyone's expressions were filled with pride for being born in the present, in the Celestial Empire, as well as hope for the future.

On the other hand, because it was the first trial, the warships did not go too deep into overseas. They just cruised around the coast and then returned.

When they stepped onto land again, many people couldn't help but let out a breath.

Although everyone now possesses supernatural powers, there is basically no need to worry about the warship sinking.

However, many ministers who had never been on a ship still felt uncertain.

Only when you are truly down-to-earth can you feel completely at peace.

Afterwards, Wang Chao led civil and military officials and returned to the capital by train.

Li Shu and Li Yu led the navy to train in batches.

On the other hand, after the first warship was built and the technology became relatively mature, the manufacture of the remaining warships became much simpler.

With the help of various magical powers, countless craftsmen worked overtime, and it only took a month for the second warship, Jiaolong No. 2, to be launched.

Li Shu and Li Yu, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately commanded a warship each and sailed towards the direction of Dongfanwei.

In fact, if it weren't for the sake of safety and the fact that the number of people on a warship was too small and the firepower might be insufficient, Li Shu would have set off in the warship long ago.

The first people they came into contact with were naturally the Spaniards who occupied the northern part of Dongfanwei.

Relying on the latest telescope, Li Shu and his team were the first to discover the Spanish fleet.

They immediately ordered the warships to move closer and asked people to shout loudly.

Of course, shouting doesn't just rely on having a loud voice. Otherwise, on this sea, the best way to pass on the message is still flag language.

However, this is not the kind of loudspeaker used in later generations, but a broadcasting loudspeaker made with sound-related magical runes and amplifying magical runes.

As long as it is activated with the strength in the body, its effect is enough to spread the sound to a fan-shaped area in front, several miles away.

On the other side, on the Spanish armed merchant ship, people were discussing the Celestial Empire's steel warships.

"You have all heard about the Celestial Empire's steel warships, right? What do you think?"

"My Lord Baron, this must be a lie by those Chinese people.

How can steel be used to build warships? They will sink to the bottom of the sea, right? "

When the others heard this, they all couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha"

Looking at everyone, Baron Keane frowned and said in a deep voice:

"This is not a false story. According to some information, it is indeed made of steel.

At least on the surface, it is a steel warship."

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but frown, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Could it be that those Chinese people are exaggerating?

Their so-called steel warships are actually just covered with a layer of iron sheet."

"This"

Baron Keane frowned and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

“Maybe. Anyway, we still have to be careful during this period.

During this period, the Celestial Empire has been making a lot of noise about taking back overseas territories such as Dongfanwei. After all, we are far away from our own country, and if we really have to face the huge Celestial Empire, we will definitely suffer losses.

I heard that the Portuguese who occupied Macau have been completely wiped out and captured.

The armed forces were all killed, and the rest were taken away for hard labor.

I don’t want to be killed or forced to do hard labor.”
