Chapter 206: The construction of the Fort_1
One bullet passed through the target, and Luo Yiwu fired a few more shots, instantly shattering the target. At the scene, there were more than a dozen ‘electric poles’. Song Qingyang wasn’t bad. After his modifications, it was no longer a handgun but a Semi – Automatic rifle. Of course, to be honest, its power was still not at the level of a Semi – Automatic rifle. It was only 30% of its power. “Sigh … We’ve really become scrap metal.” After a long time, Wang haiting’s face was like a dead stone. “Lord Jue, just give me four million taels. I’ll decide.” Ximen taigao said. “Alright, I’ll give you four million and five hundred thousand taels.” Tang Wen finally nodded. “Then you’ll have to equip us with these cannons and handguns,” Wang haiting stated his conditions. “You’re all members of the Tang family from now on, so of course you’ll need equipment. All the cannons on this heavenly Rock Island have to be changed. You guys can sell the old ones. I won’t take a single silver tael, so you guys can split it. ” Tang Wen said. “Lord Jue, I heard that you have a cultivation Pagoda?” The outer Hall’s Hall Master Zhang Qian asked. “You’re quite well – informed,” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Like I said, the cultivation Pagoda is too useful. It’s like eating spirit pills every day, and many of the Tang family’s servants break through a level every month. Father, you don’t know yet, but I’ve only been cultivating for a few days and I’m about to break through. ” LAN Yun ‘er said with an excited expression. “Could this be a celestial technique?” Ning Xiaotian asked. “Immortal Technique, not really. It’s just a lot of spirit stones.” Tang Wen shook his head. “The cultivation Pagoda is very expensive. Father, those spiritual stones are too expensive. A low grade one costs a hundred taels of gold. A thousand taels of middle – grade and ten thousand taels of high – grade. The old master had placed tens of thousands of low – grade, 300 middle – grade, and 100 high – grade pills on the first floor. Great elder, how much does this level cost?” LAN Yun ‘er was a good helper, and she came at the right time. ” 10000 pieces of low – grade gold for a million taels, 300 pieces of medium – grade gold for 300000 taels, and 100 pieces of high – grade gold for a million taels. That’s more than 4 million taels, and more than 40 million taels of silver …” Wang haiting mumbled. Suddenly, his pupils twitched, and he looked at Tang Wen with a dazed expression. “That’s right. Didn’t I promise to give you a layer? that’s more than 40 million silver taels. My Tang family has been kind to you, and it’s your fortune to be able to join us. Otherwise, with such good conditions, I believe that many sects like yours would want to cry and beg to sell their bodies. ” Tang Wen said. “Old master Tang didn’t just build one floor, right?” Ximen taigao asked. “Of course not. However, there are only two layers so far. Your cloud ocean clan has taken one floor, and the rest of the floor is for my entire family. When we have money in the future, we can set up more layers. ” Tang Wen said. “Ximen taigao pays his respects to master.” Ximen taigao gave in. “Wang haiting greets master!” “Ning Xiaotian is willing to join the Tang family,” …… “Ding dong! Your popularity has skyrocketed and you’ve reached half of the transmigration target. You’re just short of expanding your land. ” At this moment, the system responded. Tang Wen found an excuse to return to his room, closed his eyes, and activated the fusion technique, frantically absorbing more than 3300 high – Quality popularity. Tang Wen realized that the Qi of thousands of people from cloud ocean sect had gathered into a huge pillar of Qi and shot towards him. He was almost crushed to death by the Qi. He was trying his best to absorb the energy with the help of the formation. Otherwise, something would have happened. After a full ten minutes, the human qi absorption was completed. Looking at the big screen in the space, the popularity index soared to 12333, breaking ten thousand. His martial arts realm had achieved complete rank -3. His human qi eye advanced to rank -3. However, as the land expansion target had not been reached, the transmigration mode could not be activated for the time being. After coming out, Tang Wen glanced at Gu hanyan’s thigh with excitement. He still couldn’t see through it. Now that his human qi vision had reached rank -3, he could only see the bones, meridians, and blood vessels in Gu hanyan’s thigh more clearly. However, he could not see the surface of the human skin. It seemed that the principle of the atmospheric eyes was an X – ray scan. The clarity of the scan was not up to the standards of a CT scan, let alone peeking at others. Could it be that there was a ‘self – defense’ device in the human eyes? This guy couldn’t help but cry out in his heart … However, it was much more convenient for doctor Tang Wen to treat patients. In the future, he basically did not need to take x – rays. He could just take a look. The addition of cloud ocean sect had almost doubled the Tang family’s strength. This was the power of a medium – sized sect. Tang Wen personally felt that spending 4.5 million taels was a good deal. However, with the addition of more than three thousand people, there was more food, clothing, and accommodation. Even the temporary houses were in a state of emergency. Therefore, Tang Wen had no choice but to leave half of his men on heavenly Rock Island to build the docks and forts. After all, heavenly Rock Island had its own cement factory, and it was also the Tang clan’s main point of defense. This place was guarded by seven to eight hundred people all year round. In two days, Zhan Dongfang had personally measured it with his men. In addition, under the suggestion of Li Liao, who was once a Garrison, they decided to build 40 new forts on heavenly Rock Island. After all, the defensive capabilities of the black – clothed cannons could reach up to eight miles, so it was normal to set up a Fort every eight miles. One Fort needed ten soldiers, so just forty forts alone would require about five hundred people. Not far from the Fort, there was still a need to build an ammunition depot and a place for the soldiers to stay. In this case, the construction of dozens of forts was not a small problem. They even had to build a simple road to facilitate the transportation of supplies. In total, the construction force invested in heavenly Rock Island alone had reached two thousand people. In addition to the workers in the cement factory, the total number had reached about four thousand people. Therefore, Tang Wen had no choice but to spend a lot of money to recruit more people from heavenly Stone Town to replenish his manpower. This way, his daily expenses were also very huge. A day later, the Tang Dynasty Army sent someone to send over the video of the Linghai Academy’s meeting. “The Linghai Academy is really persistent. They want us dead.” After reading the information, Yan Beitian slammed the table and stood up. “The War in the West is still ongoing. I didn’t expect the sun nation in the East to take advantage of the situation. If that’s the case, our great Chu will be attacked from both the front and the back, is our country going to be destroyed?” Luo Yiwu said with a worried expression. “These two countries alone can’t destroy our country. However, if the surrounding countries such as great Qi and great Yan also join in the attack, our great Chu will really be finished.” Li Liao said. “The most hateful thing is that the Linghai Academy didn’t think of taking responsibility and wanted to take the opportunity to kill us. They’re a bunch of animals!” Yan Beitian scolded. “It’s useless to talk about this. The most important thing now is to think of a countermeasure. If he used cleaning up mo cloud stronghold as an excuse, it probably wouldn’t work. He had to think of another way. Otherwise, our people will be taken away by then. ” Li Liao said. “Mm, cleaning up mo Cloud camp’s trash was just an excuse, and the Imperial court would not take it seriously. Now that the war in the east has arrived, the Imperial court will definitely transfer our troops. ” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “Master, the war in the east has arrived. In the future, the sun nation’s war will definitely spread to our three islands. The heavenly Rock Island is the key point of defense, but we can’t forget about su Mei, White Tiger, and divine Turtle Islands. ” Gu hanyan said. “Yes, this great ebb is an opportunity. The construction of our deep – Water port and pier has already begun, but the construction of the cannons on the three islands must also be put into construction immediately. ” Tang Wen nodded. “Sumer Island is the most important, even 40 forts are not enough. With the addition of The White Tiger Island and the Holy Turtle Island, the total number of cannons is estimated to be no less than 100. ” Luo Yiwu said. “We’ve already taken away a large portion of my manpower to build heavenly Rock Island. If we were to simultaneously build over a hundred forts and dig roads, where would we get the manpower? Half of our cloud Ocean Hall’s people have already been taken away. If we do it again, won’t we have no time to practice martial arts? All of you have to carry rocks to build cannons at the pier?” Ximen taigao said. “Hall Master Ximen, the overall situation is more important.” Yan Beitian said.
