Alchemy Greater China

After all, if there are a total of one hundred species of alchemy creatures, then 97 of them are marine alchemy creatures.

The reason is simple. The future alchemy civilization was originally developed from the vast sea after the Great Destruction.

Whether it's terrestrial animal husbandry or underwater breeding, the alchemy varieties in it are the result of more than a year of hard research by Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke.

The two of them cooperate with the brood, and they do dozens of alchemy bio-transformation experiments almost every day. In the scene of the experiment, explosions are a common occurrence, and fire is a common practice, which made Long Jiale have to circle a special area for the two of them. Experiment, otherwise, just the rumbling and thundering noise every day is enough to frighten the brood workers who don't know the truth.

In order to make the experiment go smoothly, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke followed Long Hao's instructions, and soon brought Long Jiale into the Alchemy Gate.

Long Jiale possessed martial arts, although his alchemy qualifications were not as good as Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke's, but with the help of Long Hao's special techniques, he also became an alchemy apprentice.

Although it will take a long time to become an alchemist, it is not a problem at all to use Xiaoyu Xiaoke as an energy provider.

Long Jiale was in pain and joy. He was excited that he became the young master's true confidant and came into contact with "fairy magic" such as alchemy, but at the same time, he was exhausted by endless experiments and almost collapsed. Lose.

After all, he is not an alchemist like Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke. Although he has strong inner strength, but he is an apprentice by nature, Jin Yuan is exhausted every day, making him dying and horrific. The energy count returns to zero and enters a dormant state.

The results of such a hellish experiment are remarkable!

Today these 4000 species are on hand.It is a true portrayal of their hard work.

Among these alchemy creatures, there is a type of marine life that is the most important. In order to ensure safety, Long Hao also found time to come back to help with the research on this kind of creature at the beginning of this year.

At that time, it happened to be the time when he arranged the defense system of the Black Iron Battle Fort in disorder.

This marine alchemy creature is known as a 'energy number substitute' - swallowing gold and transforming trout!

Gold swallowing to transform trout is not widely used in the future... Actually speaking of history.This 'trout' is even older than alchemy.

In the era of great destruction, before the alchemy system was formed, the alchemical creature that swallowed gold and transformed trout was created by several ancient alchemists.

Its appearance was originally intended to cooperate with the Black Iron Battle Fort, because the operation of the Black Iron Battle Fort required a lot of energy, and there were not many alchemists at that time, and relying on personal strength alone, even if they were exhausted, they could not handle it The ever-increasing consumption demands of those dark iron battleforts that protect all mankind.

so.The gold swallowing transformation trout came into being. It is more like an energy number converter, which converts the free metal elements on the seabed into energy numbers, and can be used by the black iron battle fort.

If the fate of swallowing gold to transform trout does not die, then perhaps there will be no prosperity of alchemy in the future, and there will be no great era of alchemy.

Unfortunately, however, this 'trout' was born at an ill time in the future.It is just a failed transitional product, and it has not taken responsibility for the normal operation of the Black Iron Fortress.It is precisely because of this that after 'Trout' was abandoned, in order to keep the Black Iron Battle Fort working, the training of alchemists was included in the agenda, and a glorious and magnificent era of alchemy came...

But at this moment and at that moment, the oranges in the south and the oranges in the north.The gold-swallowing transformation trout that was short-lived in the era of great destruction is quite useful today!

At least, Long Hao thinks so.

Gold swallowing transforms trout into two types of fry.

One class specializes in diving into the depths of the ocean.Fry that absorbs free metal elements or tons of waste metal entities;

The other type is responsible for devouring marine life and providing nutrients for the first type of gold-eating transformed trout.

One of them is like a soldier, just rushing to kill and plunder, while the other is like a logistics soldier, responsible for providing logistics for the soldiers and preventing them from starving.

Soldier trout are invincible against those metals, but it is a pity that they are extremely vulnerable to mutated sea creatures, and their delicious smell is the biggest temptation to attract those mutated sea creatures to hunt.

They are to those mutated sea creatures, just like a drop of blood is to sharks, the smell is so strong that even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it.

Because of this, the gold-swallowing trout did not multiply in the future. At that time, human beings could only protect themselves in the face of powerful mutated sea creatures, let alone protect the 'weak' gold-swallowing trout.

However, at the end of the nineteenth century, even nuclear weapons have not been invented, so those terrifying and powerful mutant sea creatures do not exist at all. Based on this, Long Hao concluded that this sad gold-eating transformation trout around the source island can Get good breeding, the development prospect is considerable.

If you insist on assigning a level to alchemy creatures, the level of trout transformed by swallowing gold is undoubtedly much higher than that of oily fish and steel fish, and in the future history, the ancient alchemy that created trout by swallowing gold is also comparable to Later the great presence of the alchemist.

Therefore, if Long Hao hadn't become an alchemist, this gold swallowing transformation trout might not have been created yet.

For the next few days, Long Hao's observations will focus on the breeding of trout transformed by swallowing gold...

On the edge of the source island, the fishermen built an aquaculture farm and circled the sea area. The first batch of fish fry thrown into the cold sea water for rearing were gold swallowing transformed trout.

The maturity period of trout transformed by swallowing gold is very short. This is specially improved by Long Hao, because according to the current situation, there are not many black iron battle forts that need to be supplied. It is estimated that it can be increased to two within a year. Therefore, the gold swallowing transformation trout does not need to have the function of quickly absorbing metal elements and efficiently converting them into energy numbers, as long as they can reproduce quickly, grow rapidly, and occupy the surrounding sea area well.

When its number increases and forms a scale, even if any natural enemies appear, it will not be as miserable as the future genocide!

When the first batch of trout transformed by swallowing gold were 'out of the market' and successfully poured energy into the center of the Black Iron Battle Fort, Long Hao left silently.

After more than a month of observation.The construction of Yuandao has been on the right track, Long Hao understands that it will be of no benefit to stay here any longer, besides, he also misses the beautiful and picturesque motherland very much.

So, mid-October.Long Hao appeared in Beijing City.

With Long Hao's means, coupled with the poor frontier defense technology of the Qing court, his entry and exit from China can be said to be in a no-man's land. If Long Hao didn't still have the idea of ​​​​temporarily saving Emperor Guangxu's face, maybe he would have entered the country directly. In the Forbidden City, I talked face-to-face with the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Out of this kind of polite consideration, Long Hao went to meet Weng Tonghe first, stayed there, and set a date to meet Guangxu.

The long-awaited guest finally arrived.Weng Tonghe did not dare to neglect, and actively operated.

On this day, he led in a man who was completely wrapped up and took off his heavy disguise. Isn't it the Emperor Guangxu who was revealed inside?

Long Hao was admiring the plum blossoms in the backyard at the time. When he saw Emperor Guangxu, he was not surprised at all, but beckoned: "Come here. Let's take a look at the winter plums in early winter. It's very rare!"

Long Hao's tone was flat.People can't hear his awe of imperial power at all.

Weng Dishi frowned, slightly dissatisfied, but then he came to his senses: You can't treat the young man in front of you as a person under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. He is a genuine overseas king, and he has Qian Youbing, just now had a fight with the United States, and he didn't lose the wind in the slightest!

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty Hao still has the pleasure of appreciating plum blossoms! In the capital, there are not many people who grow wintersweet, and Weng Aiqing even kept it from me."

After Guangxu took off his coat, he was a thin and weak young man, but his face was sallow, and his complexion seemed not very good.

Master Weng muttered: This wintersweet was transplanted by Long Hao, and it took only a few days.It's almost blooming, I really can't figure it out.

Of course, Weng Tonghe didn't have the heart to explain this to Guangxu.

"I can't talk about elegance, but just seeing this clear and lonely flower bud reminds me of my past when I worked hard to find mineral veins in the northern plains of the United States."

"I heard that His Majesty Hao was originally a Han from outside the pass. Presumably the severe cold will make him feel more cordial?"

"Hehe, what a kindness. Your Majesty the Qing court can come out of the palace to meet me, and I feel kindness in my heart! Does this count as fate?"

Long Hao laughed loudly, and pointed to the second floor of the small attic next door: "Let's go up and talk? There are pork knuckles with flower oil on it. While eating, you can enjoy the snow and discuss the plum blossoms. Talk about the past and the present. How fun is it?"

The second floor of the attic is closed, and there is only one ladder to go up. Weng Tonghe originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Guangxu at the entrance of the ladder.

This was a secret meeting between the two heads of state. Guangxu saw that Long Hao was alone, so he didn't want the other party to take him lightly.

As a young man, Long Hao created a legend through his own struggle, while he ascended to the throne because of the shadow of his ancestors. The gap between the two made the little Emperor Guangxu feel a little inferior!

"Don't worry, Master Weng, I won't be so stupid as to hurt your emperor!"

Long Hao smiled lightly and bit down on the "you" sound, but it strengthened Guangxu's determination to block Weng Tonghe.

Above the second floor, there are small tables and benches, wide windows with bamboo curtains, and a wide view, like climbing to the top for a bird's-eye view. It is indeed a good place to watch the plum garden below.

Long Hao separated the pork knuckles on the table, and handed a piece to Emperor Guangxu with a smile: "Your Majesty, eat it while it's hot, the pork knuckles are beautiful!"

The flames were burning under the basin containing the pork knuckles, hissing and glowing green, so the pork knuckles were hot and very suitable for tasting.

"Your Majesty Hao is too polite, I'll eat right away!"

Guangxu usually mainly eats vegetarian food, but for some reason, now he has a big appetite, as if it is such an honor to eat pork knuckle with Long Hao.

After eating an elbow, several wintersweet branches under it actually bloomed a few flower buds, which made Guangxu Longyan rejoiced and raised his eyebrows with joy, thinking it was an excellent omen.

When the two pulled off the second elbow and were about to eat again, the conversation between the two sides finally came to the point.

"Your Majesty, I think we are friends, right?"

"Yes, you and I...uh, you and I should be friends! Absolutely!"

"I think so too, because we have a common desire..."

"Yeah, I want to be really pro-government..."

"To be honest, I can't understand that old woman who always builds gardens..."

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's an old woman! Ah, it's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it will be a big deal!"

"Who says there's no wine?"

Long Hao smiled.Magically pulled out a jug of wine and two small cups from under the table, filled them up and handed them to Guangxu.

After drinking this strong wine, Guangxu's stomach felt warm, his limbs felt smooth, and he became more carefree when he opened his mouth...

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the key point of wanting to be in power?"

"Kill. Kill that old woman, kill her confidants!" Guangxu, with a slightly bigger tongue, made a posture of raising a knife with his hands, but because of too much force, he almost fell off the bench.

"wrong!"

Long Hao helped Guangxu, smiled and shook his head: "You are wrong, killing people is the worst policy, and subduing others without fighting is the kingly way!"

"Hey, cough cough, I also know that there is no need to rush."

"Your Majesty of the Qing court. You have great righteousness in terms of your status and are the lord of a country. Now that you are being suppressed by others, it is nothing more than one thing missing."

"what?"

"military power!"

"Hey, Your Majesty Hao, what you said is the same as the emperor's teacher. Unfortunately, the military power is firmly held by the old woman. I can't win it!"

"Then don't take it, build it yourself!"

"Myself. Build?"

"Yes, as long as there is money, what can't be built?"

"It's reasonable, but I don't have any money..." Guangxu's face turned redder.

"Hehe, the emperor of the Qing court. You are confused again. What you don't have is cash, but don't forget, you own the whole of China. A China with an area larger than the United States, will there be less money in it? I know that you helped one of my subordinates dig a gold mine in Shanxi!"

"Uh, yes, yes..."

Suddenly hearing that Long Hao mentioned Long Ganruo, Guangxu smiled awkwardly.

Supporting others to seize the inheritance, but the owner of this inheritance is right in front of him. Considering Emperor Guangxu's uncultivated face, it is enough to make it hot for a while.

"Gold mining is a shortcut to get rich quickly. To tell you the truth, I have an intuition about mining that is beyond ordinary people."

Long Hao smiled and said: "The emperor of the Qing court, as long as you authorize me, I can definitely dig out at least ten gold mines within a year! At that time, you and I will share the proceeds, and the funds for your own military power will come. ?”

Yes, he made his fortune by mining!

Guangxu forgot the embarrassment, his eyes lit up, and he was greatly moved.

"Not only mining, I can also do business with you in partnership."

Long Hao continued: "The products produced by my company are selling well abroad, and many foreigners and nobles are rushing to buy them... When they come to China, I believe they can definitely compare with those foreign businessmen. Don't I need to elaborate?"

"But, foreigners..."

Guangxu was a little worried, and his interests were damaged. What if these foreigners go crazy?

"Your Majesty of the Qing court, you should know that the motherland of the foreigners is currently at war, and there is no time to take care of it. If you want to get back the lost rights, now is the best time! Humph, if you miss it, don't regret it in the future. ! Let me analyze with you..."

"it is good!"

Guangxu was quickly persuaded by Long Hao's several reasons, nodded and said: "Then I promise you, all business matters will be left to His Majesty Hao!"

After solving the problem of the source of money, Long Hao began to clear up Guangxu's doubts about Mei Yang: this army was named the emperor of the Qing Dynasty from the beginning.

"About that Meiyang, I think there may be some misunderstanding between you and me. I didn't have time to come to Beijing before. Since I sat down with you face to face today, it's a rare opportunity. Let me explain a little bit."

"You don't need to explain. Your Majesty Hao and I hit it off right away. There must be villains behind us!"

Guangxu was a bachelor, so he immediately forgot all about the canonization of Meiyang and the dispatch of nails.

"Your Majesty, it's great that you can think like this! Don't worry, the United States is already stable. After the reorganization of the United States and the United States, I will send them back to China. At that time, the person you appoint will lead them. I will not Intervene again... Hehe, this is also my first 'deposit' to you!" Long Hao made a decision.

...In this way, Long Hao exchanged a "compendium" of American Ocean for his right to move freely in the south of the Yellow River.

This freedom of movement right includes: the right to do business, the right to enclosure, the right to enter the concession, and so on.

From another perspective, the Alchemy Kingdom represented by Long Hao is a rising power, but he is a power that has reached an oral secret agreement with the nominally supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty.

After confirming the ownership of Perfect Ocean, Long Hao and Emperor Guangxu were very satisfied.

After the compendium, no matter how bad Meiyang is, it is also equipped with foreign guns and cannons. Its combat power is not comparable to that of the Manchu Eight Banners in the capital!Guangxu was able to own this army, and even had the idea of ​​entering the Chuxiu Palace and capturing the old lady Cixi alive for a moment.

As for Long Hao, he is satisfied with successfully giving Guangxu a stick so that he can have the capital to compete with Cixi. Presumably with the help of Meiyang, this little emperor will definitely be able to make more troubles with Cixi, which will affect the The scope is wider, thus adding another catalyst to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.

After Guangxu was excited, he asked: "Ah, I suddenly remembered something. Beiyang Navy is her confidant... Can Meiyang stop Beiyang?"

Long Hao smiled: "It's okay, to tell you the truth, I have personally sponsored the expansion of the Nanyang Navy. After you take office, Liu Kunyi will formally pledge his allegiance to you and lead the Nanyang Navy to the north. Thinking of Li Hongzhang, I will definitely not Dare to risk the world's infamy, against you and your Nanyang Navy!"

My Nanyang navy? !

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Guangxu applauded and was overjoyed, his face flushed red: It's better to have money, the money to expand a navy, this His Majesty Hao voted for it, without blinking. Compared with him, although I am rich in a country and nine states, but The poor look like a beggar, hum, the old woman should be killed! (To be continued..)
