"It's better than letting this iron ship weighing hundreds of thousands of tons sink into the sea, right?"
"It is indeed possible that it sank into the sea."
"Right! Only wood can float on water, how can iron float?"
"Is that the only reason? You know I won't do anything useless."
"I want to prove that even immortals and emperors can make mistakes!"
Lin Zixuan touched his chin. It turned out that she had this idea. Probably just like a child, she wanted to prove something to an adult!
The short life experience lacks experience. Just like Ningguang back then, she was young and arrogant, and then I taught her a lesson with the iron ingot foam incident.
After several years of polishing, Ningguang now looks like she does in the game.
Looking at Keqing's young face, I'm afraid it will take more time for her to truly take on the responsibility of Yuheng Star.
"Squeak..." The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Ningguang and three secretaries walked in. She was slightly stunned to see Lin Zixuan's real body here.
"Yuhengxing Keqing, Uncle Tian asked me to give you the right to pass, but he didn't give you the right to destroy the shipyard. Why did you do this?"
"Tianquan Star Ningguang, iron cannot float. So much iron sank into the sea. Do you dare to bear this loss?"
"How do you know that an iron ship can't float?"
"Iron sinks immediately when thrown into water. How can it float?"
......
Watching the two of them gradually start arguing, as both are Seven Stars, neither of them can use their power to overpower the other, and they can only engage in a verbal battle, and neither can convince the other.
Lin Zixuan rubbed his forehead. Keqing's thoughts were probably the thoughts of most people in Liyue Harbor. Liyue had only started to use various alloys on a large scale in recent years, and it was not easy for people to change their thinking.
When the shipbuilding began, the workers at the new shipyard had exactly the same idea as Keqing: this was simply impossible, a waste of resources.
It was not until Xuanyuan Trading Company produced a test product of equal proportion that they believed in this crazy plan. Many people even volunteered to work overtime, and some even lived in the shipyard for a month without going home.
This ship can be said to be the child of everyone in the entire shipyard, and everyone is looking forward to its birth.
Chapter 94: Yuhengxing Stimulation Plan
I received a message on the walkie-talkie in my hand that everything that needed to be demonstrated had been arranged.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Lin Zixuan stopped this meaningless quarrel.
"Keqing, you think iron can't float on water, right?"
"Yes, iron is so heavy that it will sink directly if thrown into the water."
"Well, have you ever tried to make an iron ship?"
"Do we need to try this? It must have sunk!"
"So you came to the conclusion without even trying." Lin Zixuan smiled and shook his head. "Let's go to the shipyard next door. We'll have the answer there."
The group came to the nearby Shipyard No. 2.
"What is this?" Keqing was surprised.
I saw a silver-white ship being prepared. Compared with the giant ship just now, this ship was slightly slimmer, and it also had no oars or sails, and there were special "mountain-blasting cannons" on the ship and on the sides.
"Liyue Frigate No. 1 is the foundation of the Liyue Navy. In the future, it will be responsible for the safety of nearby ocean-going freighters. Its firepower, speed, and defense are the strongest in Teyvat.
The sailboats of Teyvat are like a piece of thin paper in front of it. Even the Death Star of the Dragon King Beidou can only sink into the deep sea in front of it. Next to it is the Liyue Frigate No. 2, which is almost completed. "
"You actually built three of these iron ships? If all three ships sank..."
"Let's go, that's where we're going."
A group of people came to a small dock. There were various kinds of mold boats placed in the water, almost hundreds of them.
Keqing's pupils shrank. She saw something that broke her common sense: a rusty iron ship floating on the water. She hurriedly walked forward. She touched the rusty iron ship with her hands. The rust marks on her hands made her know that this was a real iron ship.
"How is this possible? How can iron float on water?"
"To put it simply, water has buoyancy, and the interior of a boat is empty. When a boat is in the water, the volume of water it displaces is also large, and the surrounding water will lift the boat up, generating a large buoyancy. The buoyancy of the water is greater than the weight of the boat itself, so it floats on the water."
"..." Keqing was confused, with several question marks popping up in her head.
"Your conclusion that iron cannot float in water is no different from that of ordinary people, and this is also the common perception of ordinary people.
However, there are still some unknown theorems in this world. Especially the Xumi Teaching House, there are so many secrets hidden in it. You, you have to go to Mingyun Town for tutoring.
Liyue has only seen large-scale use of steel in recent years, which is still too short. Hundreds of years ago, Liyue had billions of tons of mineral resources, but in the end it could only make weapons, kitchen knives, hoes, shovels and other common items. No one could have imagined that steel could have so many uses.
Many novel ideas should not have appeared so early, but I just accelerated Liyue's pace to deal with future major crises."
"Big crisis, what crisis?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? The Fatui have already started to make big moves. I believe you have encountered quite a few Fatui during your travels, right?"
"Yes, every country has a lot of fools."
"So, do you think the equipment that the Winter Nation can mass-produce, which allows an ordinary person to use elemental power, is powerful? Even if this comes at a price, they only need 2000 people with these equipment to easily eat up our tens of thousands of rock troops.
On the other hand, what is there for us in Liyue to brag about? Three ordinary people can easily defeat the Hill Rock Helmet King with these items.
Look at us in Liyue. If an ordinary Thousand Rock Army team of 11 people rushed forward and only 5 of them came back alive, we would be thankful. "
"Liyue's Thousand Rock Army is not that weak! They have all kinds of rune equipment and rune spears, as well as walkie-talkie support."
"Did what you said exist ten years ago?"
"!!!"
"Liyue has already stabilized. The immortals have almost all left people's sight, and the Emperor rarely appears. In these days of comfortable life, you can't see the true role of the Emperor and the immortals at all.
To put it bluntly, it means that they have nothing to do after eating. Your belief that people have human pride is just a conclusion drawn in Liyue, a place without disasters and pains, with good weather and good harvests.
If I throw you back to 3000 years ago, when disasters were constant, powerful demons were everywhere, mountains could be blown away at any time, and people didn't know how they died, and people were struggling to survive. I believe that you would not have such an idea in that era.
The Rock King founded the Seven Stars. The original Seven Stars were all big businessmen, and the businessmen would understand the benefits better. If the Emperor hadn't intervened and guided them.
What do you think Liyue will be like? I once said that merchants will become capitalists. Once there is profit, they will ignore all obstacles. When the emperor was still alive, there were Liyue borers, assassinating the emperor, and helping the treasure-stealing group.
Do you think that if the Emperor were not here, would there be anything that you big businessmen and capitalists could not do?
The Emperor would adjust new policies every few years and suppress a group of people. What was the purpose? You felt that it was like a cycle, and that the Emperor had too much influence on the people of Liyue. However, you only saw the surface, and you didn't see the deeper situation at all.
You should know this clearly from the Lawrence family in Mond next door! When a noble gains unparalleled power, their desires expand and their humanity becomes distorted. This may be the future of a noble like you, Keqing."
"I won't become like that!"
"You may not, but what about the other members of your family? What about your future children? If your child commits a serious crime punishable by death, as a Seven Star, you will definitely do your best to protect him. If you don't protect him, your family will force you to do so.
Your family, Keqing's, is a great noble family in Liyue with a long history. It owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, countless property deeds, and hundreds of people in your family who are engaged in politics in Liyue.
You were able to ascend to the position of Yuheng Star at the age of 17. Was it because you were very strong in martial arts? Or was it because you were exceptionally smart? Or was it because you had exceptional vision?
You don't have any of these. It's simply because you were born into a noble family."
"I have also worked hard. I have been working hard to become a Yuheng Star."
"I can see that you are really working hard. Unfortunately, there are more people in Liyue who work harder than you. But they are all trying their best to make ends meet and to provide for their families. And you, who have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, don't need to work hard for these things at all.
Now you are questioning whether immortals and emperors can make mistakes. Immortals and emperors can indeed make mistakes, but they have the ability to correct their mistakes.
You question the emperor’s doting, people’s laziness, and the way Liyue operates.
So what can you do?
Let your servants learn from you, working 18 hours a day and taking half a day off every month?
Or do you mean to take down all the hills and put them in your bag?
Or just be a family puppet?
With your short life experience, can you imagine what will happen in Liyue without the Geo King? Is there a solution?
You are just showing off your ability, questioning here and there. Can you come up with a feasible plan to change and govern Liyue?"
“Waaaaaaaaaaa…” Keqing ran away crying without looking back.
Ningguang was speechless. This was too much bullying. The three secretaries were also whispering in the corner.
Inside the General Affairs Department, a small flower bud clone appeared on Uncle Tian's desk and gave a brief account of what had happened.
"Uncle Tian, please go and enlighten Keqing. If it is convenient, let her study with you for a while. I will suppress her family. Time waits for no one, Keqing must grow up as soon as possible."
"Well, that's fine. It's time to chop off the hands of some people in her family."
......
“Ningguang, speed up the port negotiations between Mondstadt and Inazuma. I want these three ships to be launched during the Lantern Festival next year.”
"Well, I'll arrange it right away."
"Then, I'll take the first step."
Just as he was about to leave, he was hugged from behind. Lin Zixuan paused and sighed.
"What are you doing?"
“I don’t want to let go.”
"Even if you know it's the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water?"
"I don't want to regret it."
"Maybe you'll regret it even more."
"No regrets."
"is it?"
Lin Zixuan turned around, kissed Ningguang on the forehead, and then disappeared in an instant. Ningguang, who had just reacted, blushed. The three secretaries stared at this with wide eyes. Lady Ningguang was actually kissed!!!
On Mount Ouzang.
"He'er, now you are only one step away from becoming an immortal, you should go out and gain some experience in the mortal world. Your junior brother has created a lot of new and strange things, it's time to go and take a look." Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was very satisfied as he looked at Shen He's rapid progress.
"Yes, Master." Shen He, whose figure was more attractive to the opposite sex than a few years ago, answered. Her eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes lively. Back in the room, looking at the bookshelf full of books, all sent by her junior brother, a little sweetness flashed in her heart.
Liyue Harbor.
Lin Zixuan, who was walking on the way home, suddenly shuddered and pondered for a moment. With his current strength, he should not be afraid of any trouble. The traveler is about to appear, let the storm come even more violently! After setting a huge flag, he returned to the villa.
In early December, a tripartite cooperation agreement was widely circulated on the continent of Teyvat.
Liyue will build a new port for Mondstadt and Inazuma. Mondstadt and Inazuma will lower Liyue's shipping tariffs and rent a piece of land for Liyue to use as a warehouse...
This agreement seems to be a win-win situation. Some smart people may have seen some special clauses.
Would Liyue be so kind as to help other countries build new ports? You know, that is a solid reinforced concrete dock. Liyue is very likely to be preparing a big move. People's eyes are focused on Liyue, ready to see what Liyue is going to do. Countless reporters are rushing to Liyue.
Chapter 95: Liyue Shipping Upgrade
It’s the new year and there’s still one month left until the Lantern Festival.
Lin Zixuan stood on the balcony of the villa, looking at the dock below, and couldn't help but recall the first time he came to Liyue Harbor 9 years ago.
Nowadays, all walks of life have been developing steadily. The rest of the things will be left to the people of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates and Liyue. Let them do it step by step.
Looking into the distance, the peak of Guyun Pavilion is looming in the clouds. Below is sealed the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, also known as the Sea Demon God, who is also a very powerful demon god. Can he become a member of Liyue?
The Demon War has been over for a long time, and Sky Island is currently closed, so it is unlikely that anyone will show up to sentence him to death.
If this extremely powerful demon god were to join Liyue, it would further increase Liyue's strength. However, given his strength and arrogance, and the fact that he had been sealed for thousands of years, I'm afraid his heart is already filled with resentment. What should be done?
If he mentioned the words "Emperor of the Rock King", his blood would probably boil. Capture his wife and children to threaten him? Make him sign a contract? This method probably wouldn't make him loyal. If he jumped out and stabbed him in the back when he was in danger, it would be a big problem.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't find a good solution, so I'd better put it aside for the time being.
This year is the year before the Traveler appears. According to the secret information, the Fatui have begun to carry out frequent activities in secret, and the things that the Traveler will encounter have also begun to be laid out.
Diluk of Mondstadt has returned to the Dawn Winery, received his father's inheritance, and naturally became the head of the family.
Diluk's first stop in Teyvat was Liyue. After a tour, he quickly went to the next country and did not meet his father. This made his "chance encounter plan" aborted.
His father Cripps opened a small tavern in Chihuyan, Liyue Harbor, under an assumed name. His new wine with Mondstadt flavor was also well received in Liyue. He will probably go back after the Lantern Festival.
According to the information provided by Liyue, he knew that the person who wanted to kill him was the executive officer of the Kingdom of Winter, the Doctor. At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Diluk's current level: at the age of 22, he was in the middle of the combined level and close to the high level, which could be said to be one of the top combat forces in Mondstadt.
