The fact that the shipyard is heavily guarded does not mean that it is closed.
In fact, the doors of the shipyard are always open, and a large number of vehicles loaded with various supplies are always entering the shipyard.
These wagons were full of goods, with open wheels and sturdy horses, covered with azure canvas and bound together with twine.
Therefore, even though they are all fully loaded, it is difficult to tell what they are in from the outside.
The coachmen who drove the carriage were all sturdy men in Tsing Yi with fine eyes, and they were all quite capable masters of the rivers and lakes.
When traveling all the way, ordinary robbers and thieves did not dare to be presumptuous at all.
In addition, these carriages are all materials of the Star Gathering Business Alliance, and those dark forces monks do not dare to make a mistake, which also further ensures that various resources can arrive at the shipyard on time.
Just as Li Sen and his party entered the shipyard, several horse-drawn carriages were galloping from the official road outside the port.
This time, however, the carriages were stopped by the silver-robed guards who were guarding the field.
Although the coachmen who drove the carriage were very strong in front of outsiders, this time they were very depressed at the door of their own people, and they all closed their mouths and did not say a word. in the shipyard.
After Li Sen and his party entered the shipyard, what they saw was not a busy shipbuilding scene, but two empty trunk canals.
Generally speaking, ships are built in coastal areas in these specially dug trunk canals.
Once completed, the sluice gates are opened directly to release the water, and the boats in it naturally float and go to the sea with the current.
But now, there is nothing in these canals, not a single drop of seawater, and they are empty.
Even after entering the shipyard, Li Sen looked at no one in front of him, which was quite shocking.
However, soon the attention of Li Sen and the others was focused on an entrance on the south side of the shipyard, which connected to a tunnel that led to the underground.
That entrance leads to the ground and has a ramp from where it goes straight to the doorway.
There are many rutted marks of horse-drawn carriages on the ramp, indicating that the supplies transported here these days have been sent directly from the door to the underground, and there is no lingering in this empty shipyard at all.
It seems that the construction of warships is very different from that of ordinary sea ships, and these shipwrights did not choose to work in the shipyard, but chose to go underground.
After glancing towards the underground entrance, Li Sen took a direct step without stopping and walked towards the entrance.
Juan, Ikeda, and others, as well as those merchants, naturally followed closely behind Li Sen.
The merchants were all new to the shipyard and were not familiar with it, but it was not surprising that the ships were built underground.
The only surprising thing is that the length of this tunnel is somewhat surprising, and it seems to lead to the extreme depths of the earth.
After walking all the way for half an hour, Li Sen and the others came to the end of the tunnel, and what appeared in front of them at this moment was a soundproof magic circle flashing with white spiritual light, making people unable to see the situation on the other side and not hear any sound.
Seeing this soundproof magic array, Li Sen was not surprised, but walked over directly with a calm expression.
At the moment when Li Sen walked through the soundproofing array, the entire soundproofing array rippled like a ripple of water, and Li Sen's figure completely disappeared into it, like a non-flowing water curtain.
After entering the soundproof magic circle, there was a burst of heat, and at the same time, bursts of noisy and piercing noise also instantly filled Li Sen's ears.
As far as the eye can see, almost everywhere is a fiery red, everywhere is crowded with people, and all kinds of resources are piled up The most surprising thing is the huge space in front of you, which is extremely open and almost endless The scale of this space is extremely large, the height alone is more than a hundred zhang, and the depth is extremely grand, almost comparable to the scale of Star City.
However, judging from the hard rock walls and the inverted stalactites hanging from the top, this is supposed to be a naturally formed underground space, with very little artificially excavated area.
But none of this is surprising or unexpected, because the most eye-catching thing is a river beneath the ground.
This river is not your average underground river, but a river of magma that burns and boils all the time Next to this river of magma, there are hundreds of furnaces piled high, and in the furnaces all the time forging and smelting various materials.
And next to each furnace, there are groups of burly men with upper bodies, constantly transporting various materials into it.
At the same time, hundreds of black smoke also surged out of the furnace and headed straight for the dome above, and above the dome there were five or six huge magic circles that shimmered with a faint green light.
These circles produced a great vortex of force, absorbing all the black smoke, as if the deadly black smoke had been transferred to another place.
In addition to the burly men next to the blast furnace, a little further away from the river of magma, a large number of people have also gathered.
There seemed to be a place where all kinds of goods were piled up, and there were still seven or eight trucks parked, which were constantly unloading goods on the ground, and at the same time, there were dozens of big men who had cultivated alchemy, constantly pushing and pulling wheelbarrows, carrying goods to other places.
And from that area, there was another road, and that road led to another exit from this space.
Looking at the direction of that exit, it is roughly the same as the new town of Xingang in Caixian County.
The wagons, which had unloaded all their goods, left the exit in an orderly manner, looking very familiar.
Seeing this, Li Sen did not say anything, but Ikeda couldn't help but show a cold sweat on his forehead.
He only sent people to surround the shipyard, but ignored the new city.
When it comes to law and order work, he is indeed negligent in this regard.
However, at this moment, the attention of Li Sen and his party was not on these carriages, but in the middle of this huge space, that is, in the middle of the river of magma and a large amount of materials.
There, a huge ship was parked.
The ship was silver-white, as if it were made of steel, and the hull was extremely large, with a length of 100 feet in front and back.

In contrast, Li Sen's swordfish, which was more than ten zhang long, was simply a tiny fish in front of this boat.
Not only is the volume extremely huge, but there is not even a single piece of wood to be found on the whole body, and the whole body is a brilliant new silver, reflecting the fire of the magma river, exuding a strange orange red.
It was as if the boat was not going to be made of wood, but was going to be made of extremely strong alloy throughout.
In this way, if nothing else, in terms of defense alone, it will definitely surpass those spirit boats on the market by several grades.
However, although this huge warship is beginning to take shape, most of the place is still empty, and it seems that it is far from being completed.
Looking at the whole body, only the keel and frame have been built, and the bow of the ship has been repaired slightly.
Even so, after Li Sen and the others saw this huge warship, their expressions changed slightly.
Li Sen's expression was also slightly awe-inspiring, and he secretly sighed in his heart that the battle boat was indeed as recorded in the Daozang rumors, with a grand scale and powerful power.
And the few young Shang Alliance monks who followed were already stunned at this moment, as if it was the first time they had seen such a behemoth.
As for those Star City merchants, they quickly restrained their shocked expressions, and turned to peep around with shrewd expressions.
For merchants, intelligence is the most important thing, especially the construction of the ship, and for them it is an extremely important trade secret.
If Li Sen hadn't brought them here today, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to find out the specific information about this warship anyway.
Now that they have such a rare opportunity, they naturally want to take a closer look.
At this moment, the merchants looked around with a glint in their eyes, and the young monks of the merchant alliance were stunned one by one, and Juan and Ikeda also looked slightly different, as if they still had not recovered from the scene in front of them.
However, after Li Sen's expression was slightly grim, he quickly calmed down, and then raised his eyes and looked towards the bow of the warship.
I saw that at the bow of this huge warship, that is, at the front of the entire warship, there was an old man in black.
Although the old man had gray hair, his figure was extremely majestic, and the black clothes on his body were half torn off by him very casually, and only his shoulders were draped, revealing his upper body as hard as steel.
He sat on the bow of the boat, one knee upright, and one leg dangling on the outside of the bow, and his posture looked extremely leisurely and calm.
What's even more surprising is that he is still holding a golden smoking gun in his left hand, and there is still a little spark flickering on the head of the gun, and the smoke is filled.
About five or six middle-aged young-robed monks with a thick stack of account books stood behind him with extremely respectful faces.
The old fellow sat there calmly snorting and smoking a cigarette, and in his right hand he held a book that had just opened a few pages, like a very experienced and experienced overseer And at this moment, the moment Li Sen and his party entered this space, the old overseer took his eyes off the account books, and then a pair of eyes as sharp as eagles looked towards Li Sen.
These eyes are not bright and bright, but they are extremely sharp, as if they can penetrate people's hearts, and it is difficult for everyone to hide their thoughts under these eyes.
This is a pair of eyes that have been experienced for a long time, have suffered from the vicissitudes of the world, and can see through people's hearts.
Seeing this scene, how could Li Sen not know that this old man in black was Fengtu Among the various rumors of the Shang Alliance, Feng Tu has always been an extremely arrogant Jindan monk.
Although his cultivation is not high, only in the early stage of Jindan, his skills in manufacturing spirit boats can be called the strongest existence in the entire business alliance.
Almost all of the prestigious spirit boats in the Shang Alliance came from him.
On weekdays, he has also been staying in the Thousand Machines Hall, responsible for the task of repairing the spiritual boat of the nursing merchant alliance.
It was only now that this highly qualified, but arrogant old fellow was sent to the shipyard here in Xingang, Caixian County, to be responsible for the construction of this warship.
However, although his temper is not very good, judging from the scene in front of him, this old guy has real skills.
Seeing this scene, Li Sen, who originally looked extremely calm and couldn't see the color of joy and anger, finally showed a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
This fluctuation is like a ripple of water gradually rippling in a mirror lake.
I can vaguely discern a hint of joy from it.
"Li Sen, the governor of Wu State, has met Master Feng."
With a distance of hundreds of feet, Li Sen bowed slightly and arched his hand, his attitude was very polite.
I can't see the slightest trace at all, it looks like he wants to come to Xingshi to ask about his guilt
