Cannons are inherently very simple in structure, so it's not surprising that there are cannons in the Lingluo Great World.
But the cannon designed by Yefeng is not an ordinary cannon; it does not rely on firing shells to strike the opponent.
But Ye Feng didn't explain. Instead, he asked, "Didn't you say you had something to report to me?"
Rowling nodded and said, "That's right, Ancestor. In yesterday's fierce battle, we obtained more than 800 inner cores of Crimson-Tailed Beasts. We can't possibly use all of these inner cores, so I'm going to sell some of them."
"I guess you want to sell it to Jiangxia City, right?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
“Yes, it is indeed Jiangxia City. After all, Jiangxia City is the closest to our Xinluo City, and Jiangxia City and we have always had a cooperative relationship.” Luo Lin nodded without hesitation.
Then Rowling added, "Jiang Zhengzhong, the city lord of Jiangxia City, was very surprised when he heard that we had killed so many Crimson-Tailed Beasts. He immediately agreed to the deal and even asked to come and see our Xinluo City."
"But there are too many unspeakable things in our Silla City now, so I don't know..."
Night Breeze interrupted Rowling, saying, "What do you mean by 'something that can't be told to others'?"
“It’s the Spirit Network, the new iron smelting furnace, cement, the Explosive Flame Rifle, the Spirit Stone Grenade, the Steam Engine… These are all our secrets. It wouldn’t be good if they were leaked,” Rowling said.
Night Wind shook his head and said, "You're wrong, Rowling. These things aren't secrets, and we won't keep them tightly under our control forever."
“But if other cities get these things, they will definitely develop rapidly as well,” Rowling said, frowning.
"Isn't it good that other cities are developing rapidly? Rowling, don't you want our Hongtian Empire to become more prosperous and powerful?" Night Wind retorted.
Rowling was stunned.
Ye Feng chuckled and said, “I can understand your feelings. You hope that our Xinluo City will become the most prosperous city in the Southern Territory, or even the most prosperous city in the entire Hongtian Empire, right? But don’t forget, a city cannot exist in isolation from the empire. What we need to do is not to leave other cities far behind, but to develop together with them.”
"However, in this process, we must ensure our leading position."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Rowling felt a strong sense of admiration.
She now truly feels that her ancestor had such a far-sighted vision and a very broad perspective that she couldn't compare to at all.
His own vision was still limited to Silla City, but the ancestor's vision had expanded to the entire Hongtian Empire!
But Rowling didn't know that she had underestimated Night Wind. In fact, Night Wind's attention was always focused on the entire Lingluo Great World, not on any particular kingdom within it.
"Since Jiang Zhengzhong wants to visit and tour, let him come. I will personally take him to see the new things and new features of our Xinluo City."
"And it's not just about showing it to him; I'll also sell some to him."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, Rowling immediately asked, "What are you selling?"
"The Blazing Rifle and Spirit Stone Grenade are definitely out of the question; these are weapons, and we can't sell them as commodities for the time being. But other items, which aren't so important, can be sold to him."
"For example, the Spirit Network, the new-style iron smelting furnace, and the steam engine!"
He stopped there, while Rowling began calculating the profits that selling these items could bring to Silla City.
After a rough estimate, Rowling was quite excited because it was very considerable!
"Initially, we only sold equipment that could be used to lay the spirit net, build new iron smelting furnaces, and the steam engines and matching tracks that had already been manufactured."
"But as time goes on, we can sell these technologies directly to him, so that he can build and produce them himself!"
Ye Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "I know you can't understand what I'm thinking right now, but that's okay, you'll understand soon enough."
“Yes, Ancestor.” Rowling nodded vigorously.
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy," Ye Feng said.
Rowling then bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
Jiang Zhengzhong arrived just one day later.
Jiang Zhengzhong was accompanied by only one bodyguard, and the bodyguard's main task was not to protect him, but to help him carry things.
Jiang Zhengzhong knew that he would definitely not be in any trouble in Xinluo City, and there was no way that any accidents would happen, after all, this was a city with a Saint Realm expert in charge!
Moreover, Chiang Cheng-chung is now deeply shocked.
What is that rumbling furnace that produces such strong spiritual energy fluctuations?
Ordinary spirit-gathering arrays cannot gather this much spiritual energy from heaven and earth!
Moreover, the people operating that furnace were neither qi cultivators nor martial artists, but a group of ordinary people with no strength whatsoever!
They looked just like ordinary blacksmiths, ordinary commoners, and serfs!
Jiang Zhengzhong continued walking forward, his surprise growing.
Everything in Silla City was something he had never seen before, or even imagined.
The smooth stone-paved roads, the neat rows of houses, the commoners and serfs dressed in coarse linen clothes but with ruddy complexions and full of energy... everything here was beyond his imagination!
"Welcome to Xinluo City, Lord Jiang," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Zhengzhong quickly looked at Ye Feng and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness Prince Nanling, I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you, and I hope I have not disturbed you."
“Here, you can simply call me Lord Luo,” Ye Feng said.
“Yes, Lord Luo,” Jiang Zhengzhong immediately replied.
Jiang Zhengzhong then sat down at Ye Feng's invitation and told him about all the strange and unusual things he had seen since arriving in Xinluo City, hoping that Ye Feng would answer his questions.
Ye Feng didn't hide anything and said with a smile, "That's called a new type of iron smelting furnace. It was redesigned by Qing'er. This kind of iron smelting furnace needs to be used in conjunction with the spirit network... One set of spirit network combined with one new type of iron smelting furnace can smelt about a thousand catties of refined iron per day."
New type of iron smelting furnace?
Spirit Web?
Can a thousand catties of refined iron be smelted in a single day?
Jiang Zhengzhong felt incredulous, as if he had suddenly become an idiot, knowing nothing and having never seen anything before.
"It seems Lord Jiang is quite interested in our Xinluo City," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Zhengzhong quickly said, "Lord Luo, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just shocked. After all, just over a month ago, this place was the Death Mountain Range, but now a city has been built here, and it's so well-built. It's truly astonishing."
"Then I'll take you around to see the sights and satisfy your curiosity."
