    "The flame on Lu Yang's hand is the real fire of the Yuan Ying stage. However, Lu Yang practices a strange technique and absorbs purple energy every morning to nourish the fire. Therefore, his flame is much stronger than the ordinary real fire of the Yuan Ying stage.  , the appearance is also different.

    The flame in Zhang Xinhan's hand is a special kind of fire unique to Jiuyang Sect, called 'Red Lotus Earth Fire', which can fully bring out the characteristics of spiritual materials.  "

    Zhang Hao silently wrote it down.  The world of spiritual practice is more complex than the world before, and there is much to learn.

    ¡°Gold plating¡± is a delicate job.  Lu Yang finished at noon, while Zhang Xinhan didn't finish until the evening.

    Everyone gathered together, but everyone looked at Zhang Hao.  Although Zhang Hao has the lowest cultivation level, no one can ignore Zhang Hao.  These "steel" were provided by the Zhang family, and only Zhang Hao was the most qualified to speak.

    ? ? Developing westward was proposed by the Zhang family;

    The strategy of boiling the sea was also proposed by the Zhang family;

    High-purity black iron is also provided by the Zhang family;

    And the current person in charge of the Zhang family is Zhang Hao!

    The most important thing is that Zhang Hao¡¯s status as an ¡®inner disciple of Xuanzhen Sect¡¯ also makes Zhang Hao even more unique.  I must admit that it is good to have a good backer.

    Without Zhou Jue, Lu Yang, and Zhang Xinhan, Zhang Hao can ask Xuanzhen Sect for help or find someone else.  But without the Zhang family, everyone is afraid that they will not be able to find a second family for the time being.

    Especially Feng Zhiling, who was carefree next to him, reminded everyone from time to time: Zhang Hao, you can¡¯t move!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he was very satisfied with their looks.  Amid everyone's expectations, Zhang Hao smiled: "The seal carving of the formation is completed, let's activate it to see the effect. Although there is only one pillar, you can still see some effects."

    The two pillars were quickly activated, and a layer of red flame appeared on the surface of the pillars.

    Zhang Hao was surprised to see that the flame was not in direct contact with the pillar, but was suspended on the surface of the pillar, about ten centimeters away from the pillar.  In this way, the pillar will not be burned by the flames.  The flames even formed a protective layer.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes roamed between the two pillars, and he gradually discovered the difference.

    The flames of the pillars carved by Lu Yang have chaotic ups and downs; while the flames of the pillars carved by Zhang Xinhan are even and orderly like waves, giving a faint feeling of surging.

    With the passage of time, the true energy injected into the pillars gradually exhausted, and the flames gradually extinguished; Lu Yang's pillar was the first to be extinguished; after drinking tea, Zhang Xinhan's pillar was extinguished.

    Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.

    The pride on Lu Yang¡¯s face turned into embarrassment.  The most important thing is that destroying a pillar is a sin!

    A pillar weighs one hundred thousand kilograms and is made of black iron with a purity of 96%.  Although the Zhang family did not quote a price for this kind of steel, it would obviously not be cheap.  Judging from the quality of this kind of steel, it is not a problem at all for the price to triple or five times.

    Even if calculated based on 96% black iron, 100,000 kilograms is still worth 70,000 high-grade spiritual stones!  But now, it's so useless!  Oh, and the fine gold is not included.

    Zhang Xinhan still has a peaceful smile on his face; but there is a hint of arrogance in this smile. This arrogance is not impetuous pride, but a kind of self-confidence!  A kind of pride in defeating the opponent!

    This time, he became the winner of this unprecedented seal carving process; and next, he will be responsible for the refining of an unprecedented, super, Dutian Fiery Formation.

    Zhang Hao slowly glanced around and spoke loudly: "Now I announce that I have invited Zhang Xinhan to be the person in charge of this Dutian Fiery Formation."

    "Thank you." Zhang Xinhan thanked generously.

    "Thank you for your support, senior. Now, let's discuss the refining of the Dutian Fiery Formation. This is what I envision:

    Use the Dutian Fiery Array to heat up part of the sea area, and carve out a sea area that belongs to us from the sea in a relatively gentle way.  For marine monsters, we drive them away instead of killing them.

    We will try our best to reduce direct conflicts with ocean monsters, or even eliminate them.

    This time, our purpose of developing the sea is not for the monsters and resources in the sea, but just to 'borrow a way'!  We need to open up sea channels.

    After obtaining a piece of sea area, we will start building a port and build steel ships!

    Yes, ships are built with steel, just like these steel pillars, to build indestructible steel fortresses on the sea!

    These forts will be hundreds of meters long and have a displacement of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons.  Even if the turbid waves surge into the sky, they can't shake it even one bit!  "

    Everyone was shocked, and some people had already imagined: usingThe castle made of iron entered the sea Gudong, sank!

    Some people are also thinking that a ship made of steel is besieged by countless ocean monsters, but it remains motionless, cutting through the wind and waves.  Buthow to drive this heavy steel ship?  Tens of thousands of tons, not tens of thousands of kilograms, even at the Nascent Soul stage, one would be stunned.

    Zhou Jue was the first to speak: "Brother Shi, I have a few questions. Even if a ship made of steel can float, it still requires a large amount of spiritual stones to drive such a huge ship.

    So, even if we can open up ocean access, the cost alone will be enough to bring us down.

    Based on some technical indicators we have compiled recently, we have calculated that if you want to drive a ten-ton, lowest-level war weapon, you will consume about a thousand lower-level spiritual stones per hour.

    If you want to drive a 10,000-ton ship, you will consume at least one hundred high-grade spiritual stones per hour; if one voyage is calculated as one month, the cost of the round-trip spiritual stones will be as high as 72,000 high-grade spiritual stones.  If you also calculate labor, defense and other costs, it easily exceeds 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

    ??Also, until now, we don¡¯t know what the price of steel will be.  "

    "The price of steelis three times that of black iron of the same grade!"

    Hiss there was a sound of air-conditioning sucking all around.  Although there was speculation, the research was shocking to hear the answer.

    Zhang Hao looked around.

    The market price of 96% pure black iron is 70 medium-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, and the contract price is 14,000 low-grade spiritual stones per kilogram.

    Three times the price is 42,000 low-grade spiritual stones per kilogram.  If this is to build a 10,000-ton ship, thenthe number is too exaggerated!

    ?Obviously everyone has thought of this.

    But in Zhang Hao¡¯s heart, he was calculating another account:

    Due to the advancement of technology, the Zhang family produces a ton of black iron with a purity of less than 96%, and the cost is less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Half of the spiritual stones are ground into powder to make additives for black iron smelting, 10% is given to the workers, and 30% is given to the workers.  After removing the machine equipment and related technical personnel, the rest is the material cost, etc.

    Now Huang Mingshan and others are studying using oil to replace spiritual stones, hoping to further reduce the cost.

    In steelmaking, due to the large amount of oil used, not counting the oil itself, the cost of steelmaking is only about 10,000 spirit stones - mainly due to the consumption of forming formations and triggering flames.

    In other words, if the Zhang family produces a ton of 96% pure steel, the cost price will not exceed 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

    But technology is valuable!

    But Zhang Hao also knows that if they want to cooperate, the Zhang family obviously cannot follow the market price; but how to reduce the price is also a very serious issue.

    Over the past thousands of years, the price system between Xuantie and Lingshi has been relatively stable; if there are fluctuations, it is okay.  But if the Zhang family suddenly launches cabbage-priced black iron, Zhang Hao can't guarantee what the market will do.

    But the biggest possibility is that a tsunami will occur, with countless people blocking the Zhang family¡¯s door and demanding that the technology be disclosed.  Some people may even take action to destroy the Zhang family!

    Therefore, Zhang Hao is also considering and figuring out how to quote the price.  If one of them is bad, the Zhang family will fall into the abyss.

    The cultivators around him are still in shock.

    The few people who participated in the seal carving formation looked at the carving knife in their hands and silently felt the cutting edge of the carving knife. They recognized the price!  However, something felt wrong.

    Zhou Jue was the first to ask: "Brother Shi, this price seems very reasonable. But there is one thing I don't understand."

    "Brother, please tell me." Zhang Hao didn't say "Brother Zhou" anymore.

    "Based on the price of black iron, the Zhang family probably doesn't have the ability to produce so much black iron now, right? I'm very confused, how much does the Zhang family's black iron cost?"

    As soon as Zhou Jue said these words, everyone's eyes glanced at Zhang Hao.

    We are not fools, although we were shocked by the Zhang family¡¯s series of miracles.  But when Zhou Jue raised this issue, everyone reacted:

    Even if the cost price of Xuantie is half or even a quarter of the market price, your Zhang family does not have the ability to produce so much Xuantie.

    Not to mention anything else, just talk about these fourteen steel columns now, just 1.4 million kilograms. Based on the market price, the whole country of Qixia was sold, and it could not afford it!

    Zhang Hao coughed twice: "ThisBrother, the price agreed on in the market is that 96% of black iron is 70 mid-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, right?"

    "Yes!" Zhou Jue nodded.

    "Then I'll calculate based on this price, no problem! I admit that the Zhang family's technology has improved. But technological progress is the result of our efforts, not given by everyone!" Zhang Hao's words are quite reasonable.

    Everyone was stunned immediately.  Yes, that's the truth.

    Zhou Jue covered his head in pain: "Brother Shi, what I mean is that if the Zhang family continues to calculate at this price, it will be difficult for us to continue to cooperate in the future."

    "Ohhow do you say it?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, that¡¯s the truth.

    Zhou Jue covered his head in pain: "Brother Shi, what I mean is that if the Zhang family continues to calculate at this price, it will be difficult for us to continue to cooperate in the future."
