A new exploration vessel.
"Junior Brother Luo, the scouting ships are almost useless. What's the point of having them come over?"
Yan Long asked in confusion.
"I have my ways."
Luo Zheng smiled faintly and put the two probes into the Qiankun Gourd. He walked towards his residence.
Luo Zheng was a fourth-grade general and was also the disciple of the Tianzi Sect's Heavenly Leopard Army.
Even the Brave Battalion didn't dare to be negligent and arranged for individual accommodations.
Three days later, Luo Zheng and Yan Long arrived at the place where the boat was originally parked. They saw Chen Shuo and the other fifteen oarsmen already standing on the beach, waiting for them.
Luo Zheng glanced at the crowd. Most of these oarsmen were weaker than Chen Shuo. Some of them were only in the Blood Tempering realm, but they were still full of energy.
"May I know why Sir has summoned us here?"
When these oarsmen arrived here early in the morning, they found that even the damaged exploration ship was gone. They all felt very strange. Now that they saw Luo Zheng coming over, some of them couldn't help but ask.
"We're going out to sea this time," Luo Zheng said with a faint smile.
"Out to sea? We don't even have a boat, how can we go out to sea? "
One of the oarsmen laughed.
"That's right. Are we supposed to take those two damaged exploration ships out to sea? At that time, when we encounter demonic beasts, both of you are martial arts experts who can fly, and you can escape at any time. We would have died for nothing! "
Another oarsman said.
"So you're saying that you're disobeying military orders?"
Seeing this, Yan Long's face turned cold. Powerful Yuan Qi suddenly erupted like a dark cloud, enveloping the oarsmen.
The strongest among these people was only at the Marrow Changing Realm. Suppressed by the Yuan Qi pressure, they were instantly rendered speechless.
"Sir, we were just saying."
The rowdy oarsmen quieted down.
Just a moment ago, these people thought that Luo Zheng and Yan Long were young and easily bullied, and they didn't see the ship, so they dared to act like that. But now that Yan Long showed his might, these people were like a cat seeing a mouse.
Luo Zheng looked at the crowd and said, "Listen up, from today onwards, as long as you go out to sea, in addition to the military salary, I will give you an additional ten Blood Nourishing Pills every day!"
"What? Ten Blood Nourishing pills! "
"Thirty-three thousand gold taels!"
"This is ten times our salary in the army! Are you lying to us? "
A fanatical expression appeared on the faces of all the oarsmen.
Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. Once they set out on the sea, it would take at least half a month. As long as they set out on the sea for a month, each of them would be able to earn a million taels of gold.
"Junior Luo, is this too much?"
Even Yan Long was shocked when he heard Luo Zheng's words. He quickly pulled him back.
If each person consumed ten Blood Nourishing Pills a day, sixteen people would consume a total of one hundred and sixty pills. That would be one thousand and six hundred pills in ten days. That would be several million taels of gold.
"It doesn't matter. These can all be earned back."
Luo Zheng smiled faintly and looked at the oarsmen. "However, I only need 24 oarsmen. The few of you can only be substitutes."
As he spoke, he pointed at the few people who were making a ruckus just now.
"All exploration ships have sixteen oars. Even if there's only one ship out at sea, there should be sixteen oarsmen."
Several people said anxiously.
"Take a look for yourselves!"
Luo Zheng was too lazy to explain. With a wave of his hand, a brand-new blue exploration ship landed on the sea.
Its shape was very similar to an ordinary exploration ship. It also looked like a sharp arrow. Its length was also longer, a full twenty-four feet. The lines were even more perfect. Twenty-four long oars were evenly distributed on both sides.
"This, this is a new ship. I've worked hard at sea for twenty years and have never seen an exploration ship like this. The hull looks like an upper-grade Dharma Artifact. The oars are at least middle-grade Dharma Artifacts. "
One of the older oarsmen exclaimed in shock.
"I've never seen such an exploration ship before. Even if you don't give me the Blood Nourishing Pills, I'm still willing to set out on the sea."
"Just look at this ship. It must be extremely fast. Even the fastest demonic beast in the sea may not be able to catch up with it!"
All the oarsmen were stunned and in disbelief.
This exploration ship was refined by Luo Zheng after three days and two nights of dismantling the original two ships and adding the materials he obtained from the Five Elements Serial Formation.
The materials added were of extremely high grade. Naturally, the quality of the ship was greatly improved.
Whether it was a warship or an exploration ship, the refining method was not far from that of a flying ship. For Luo Zheng who had the Refining Scroll and the Mental Cultivation Method, it was not a problem at all.
"Sir, I don't want the extra Blood Nourishing Pills. Can you let me be the oarsman of this exploration ship?"
An oarsman rushed to Luo Zheng and asked.
"Yes, sir. So do we."
The other oarsmen who were not selected could not help but ask. To be able to board such an exploration ship was definitely a unique honor for an oarsman.
In the Jinghai Navy, there were more than two million soldiers and countless oarsmen. However, this exploration ship was unique.
"Let's see how you perform in the future. If an oarsman on the ship performs poorly, one of you can replace him!"
Luo Zheng smiled and then looked at Chen Shuo. "I now appoint you as the lead oar of this exploration ship. Lead all the oarsmen to practice and familiarize themselves with the new ship's performance. Tomorrow, we'll officially set out on the sea!"
"Yes, sir! Sir, I'll do my best! "
