Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Armored Flying Boat_1
The battle in the Melting Flame Desert not only demonstrated Dawu's iron-blooded military might but also left an indelible impression on Chai Ning's heart!
He realized that Dawu would be his best partner as well as his aid in advancement.
The first batch of medicinal herbs was quickly refined into a large number of elixirs by Chu Yuan, which he then handed over to Chai Ning.
Each one was round and plump, as if they were carved out of a mold. There was no difference in their quality, as they were mass-produced.
In fact, the Qiankun Merchants Association did not make much money from the elixirs below the Divine Elixir. Their Alchemists had a success rate of two to three percent, and they did not share much with Chu Yuan.
However, when Chai Ning saw the Divine Elixir, he was overjoyed. Their success rate for it was sometimes less than ten percent.
Whether they sold these Divine Elixirs or supplied them to the strong individuals of the Merchant Association, the profit was far greater than those from the medicinal herbs.
The first batch of Spiritual Energy rice was also delivered to the Qiankun Merchants Association, bringing countless war supplies to Dawu.
Only when resources are sufficient can the army be expanded!
Before this, the Unlimited Merchants Association only had a two-star rating in Dawu, but now they are enjoying a three-star treatment. Chai Ning is even thinking about upgrading the level once again, and he has already proposed this idea to the Qiankun Merchants Association.
It's the 31st year of the Great Martial Calendar, in September.
The national fortune is bubbling like a fire, like an eternal sun shining in the sky.
We are almost in an age where everyone could open their meridians!
Every city and county in Dawu, even the most ordinary citizens, have reached the Meridian Opening Stage. Even the children of six or seven years old have reached the Health Maintenance Stage.

Although Dawu used to have over a billion citizens, it was not possible for everyone to cultivate martial arts. Many people could only remain at the Health Maintenance Stage after they grew up. The main reason was Dawu's lack of resources for all these Martial Artists.
But now, resources are abundant. Every family eats Spiritual Energy rice, especially those children who are still growing. After eating this rice, each of them is nourished with a rosy complexion, and their potential is even greater than that of adults.
When these children grow up, they will be the best source of soldiers for Dawu.
In the army, each soldier used to only receive a few spirit crystals each year and they hardly ever got any elixirs.
Now, each of them absorbs spirit crystals every day and receive a bottle of elixirs every month. This kind of treatment is not worse than that in a four or five-star Imperial Dynasty.
The reason for this is due to Chu Yuan's ability to expand territory.
"Kui Shen Stage Two!"
With everyone able to open their meridians and cultivate, the national fortune that has been gathered is really terrifying. It was rolling in and Chu Yuan's realm was boosted to the Kui Shen Stage Two because of this.
"Three Armored Flying Boats have been constructed!"
At this moment, three Armored Flying Boats, which had taken many resources and much time from Chu Yuan to construct, have been completed.
The three Armored Flying Boats, which have just been completed, are now in the System Space. They look like the aircraft carriers that Chu Yuan remembered, but they are several times larger. Each ship can accommodate more than 30,000 people.
The whole body is covered in armor.
On the Armored Flying Boat, there are movable gun barrels that are extremely powerful. They are also driven by spirit crystals. The energy beams they emit are stronger than the Divine Machine Cannon, but weaker than the Divine Machine Great Cannon.
"Seafaring fortress, the Armored Flying Boat!"
Chu Yuan is shocked in his heart.
Armored Flying Boat: This sea-faring vessel was built with the wisdom of countless mechanical masters. It is equipped with a mighty cannon, has an extremely long range, and an enormous power. It is powered by spirit crystals and can sail on the sea or fly in the sky.
Note: The consumption of spirit crystals in flying will be ten times that of maritime navigation.
"This is the war equipment that my Dawu needs!"
Chu Yuan was amazed when he saw the Armored Flying Boat. Such a magnificent battleship.
If it weren't for his blueprint which allowed him to automatically produce it in the System Space, even the Suspended Imperial Dynasty would have a tough time creating it, they simply do not have that many mechanical masters.
He noticed that an Armored Flying Boat will consume 10,000 spirit crystals per day while sailing and 100,000 while flying.
This is at a normal speed. If sped up, the consumption will increase exponentially and ordinary forces simply cannot afford it.
However, Chu Yuan felt it was worth it. One of his three main quests was to go to sea.
"Place the Armored Flying Boat in Southwest Province to train the navy and test the capability of the Armored Flying Boat."
With that thought in mind, Chu Yuan has already left the Dawu Royal Palace.
With his speed, it only took half an hour to get to Southwest Province.
The Southwest Province is coastal and as the first province to be conquered by Dawu, the citizens here have also received a large supply of resources.
In the Coastal County of Southwest Province.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
A middle-aged man quickly came forward to pay his respects when he saw Chu Yuan.
This person was named Zhou Zhong, the Prefect of Coastal County. Although Lu Qianfu was nominally the governor, most of his efforts were focused on the Divine Martial army, leaving most of the affairs of the Southwest Province to Zhou Zhong.
"Zhou Zhong, I've received your memorial a few days ago about the sudden tsunami attack in all the prefectures along the coast, resulting in widespread flooding. What's the damage?"
Chu Yuan asked Zhou Zhong.
"Responding to Your Majesty, the tsunami hasn't completely stopped to this day. Just this morning, another one happened which was fiercer than the previous ones."
Zhou Zhong didn't dare to conceal it: "But I've already sent people to monitor it closely and relocate the civilians overnight after the first tsunami. So, although many cities were flooded, fortunately, other than the initial damage, there were no further casualties."
"You've done very well. Tsunamis are natural disasters. Make sure those relocated civilians are properly settled, the court will allocate supplies." Chu Yuan nodded.
"I know how to handle this." Zhou Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said: "However, Your Majesty, I've lived in the Southwest Province for hundreds of years and I've never seen such a peculiar tsunami, each wave stronger than the previous one. Also mixed with a lot of volcanic rock, so I suspect that it's not simply due to regular seabed movements causing tsunamis."
[Option 1: Go out to sea to investigate the cause of the tsunami, win 300 Destiny Points, and a Tongxuanming Divine Elixir x1.]
[Option 2: Stay and fully prepare for the tsunami, earn 300 Destiny Points, and a Bone Renewing Pill x1.]
"You suspect there's more to this tsunami?"
As Chu Yuan spoke, a rumbling vibration, like an earthquake, swept through. His eyes instantly pierced through the distance, seeing hundreds of feet high tidal waves flooding the city as if it was the River of Heaven pouring down.
The tsunami lasted for about ten minutes before it stopped.
Zhou Zhong said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you see, this one is even more intense than the one at dawn."
"I see, gather the navy of the Southwest Province, I will go to sea this time to investigate where the source of this tsunami comes from."
Chu Yuan said.
This tsunami was truly out-of-the-ordinary. Besides, though the Armored Flying Boat has been constructed, it has not yet been battle-tested. This is a perfect opportunity.
"Ding! The host chose option one, received 300 Destiny Points and Tongxuaming Divine Elixir x1."
Tongxuanming Divine Elixir: A divine elixir among elixirs made with ninety-nine precious divine materials. After taking it, it can enlighten the divine path and break through to the Enlightenment of God.
Cons: Only effective when used at the Kui Shen Stage and must breakthrough quickly in a place where the spiritual energy is extremely abundant.
Cons two: The host cannot use special elixirs rewarded by the system.
