After the words fell, Yun Zhongjun looked slightly startled. The reason why he brought this biography out was to make the other party give up and give up the idea of ​​immortality. He didn't expect that in the end this matter would actually happen to him.

He knows very well that the so-called fairy mountain is simply illusory, not to mention the many crises overseas. Maybe he will be hit by a tsunami when he encounters it. He can't risk his life just for a legend, right?

However, since the other party speaks in person, it is difficult to reject it directly, otherwise the boast will be ruined, and the future glory and wealth may also be far away from him.

I saw him thinking seriously for a while, and then said: "It is an honor for me to be able to share your worries for the king. We will do our best to help you seek immortality, but I'm afraid it's not that simple to obtain the elixir.

…”

"What do you mean by this?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

Xu Fu once again showed off his special skills and said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, traveling overseas must be very difficult, and finding a fairy mountain is not a day's work.

Moreover, there are often rough waves on the sea surface, and there are many dangers. If you are not properly prepared, you may be drowned by the waves as soon as you go out to sea."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression changed. Although he wanted to find the legendary elixir as soon as possible, what the other party said did make some sense.

If something unexpected happened on the way, my immortality would be lost to my younger brother. He pondered for a moment and then asked: "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Yun Zhongjun's brain raced quickly and he quickly gave the answer: "Back to your Majesty, if you want to go far overseas, you must first have a large enough ship that can sail stably in strong winds and waves.

This huge ship must not only be tall and strong enough, but also have the ability to guide and avoid getting lost on the sea. In addition, it will take a lot of time to find the first mountain, and it must have sufficient food and manpower.

The most important thing is that this visit to the Fairy Mountain must be done with sincerity, and every accompanying person must be carefully selected without making any mistakes.

In addition, there are many problems that need to be solved, so I won’t list them all below.”

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng's heart sank slightly. Although he didn't know much about overseas fairy mountains, just by listening to what the other party said, he knew that it was not easy to go to sea.

Not to mention how much time it takes, just building such a giant ship requires an unknown amount of manpower and material resources.

Although today's Great Qin is powerful and far superior to other countries in terms of wealth, population, soldiers, horses, food and grass, the pressure it bears is also not small.

On one hand, they had to go all out to conquer the six countries and fight hard to achieve unification. On the other hand, they were busy building royal tombs, consuming a lot of people and resources.

Under such circumstances, if we want to allocate a large amount of money and labor, I am afraid it will be a very difficult task.

But if you give up looking for immortals overseas, how can you realize your dream of immortality?

As soon as he thought of this, he hesitated in his heart. After some careful thinking, he still did not want to abandon the idea of ​​immortality, and then said: "I have given my order to gather skilled craftsmen in Daqin from now on to build a giant ship!

"

"promise."

The waiter responded respectfully and then went down to deliver the order.

Then Ying Zheng turned his attention to Xu Fu again and said calmly: "You will be responsible for this matter. If you have any needs, just ask me, but the ship must be built as soon as possible."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yun Zhongjun said nothing and just agreed.

He was not too anxious about this matter. After all, building a huge ship that could travel overseas would require a lot of money and resources, and it would also be extremely time-consuming.

It will take anywhere from a few years to a dozen years before it is completed. I’m afraid it’s hard to say what the world will look like by then. We can only take one step at a time...

In Yangzhai City, Ye Zhang's eyes flashed slightly when he heard the news reported by Xuan Jian, and he whispered in his heart: "We have come to this step, it seems that it is really God's will..."

As a person with a God's perspective, he knows very well that the so-called overseas fairy mountains do not exist at all.

It is impossible for a smart person like Ying Zheng not to have considered this, but the obsession with immortality has been deeply rooted in his heart, and he still wants to give it a try even if he knows it is fake.

However, Ye Zhang did not intend to pay too much attention to this kind of matter. First of all, the matter had nothing to do with him. Secondly, Ying Zheng's character was stubborn and strong. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult for others to change it.

However, if he develops according to the established route, Xu Fu should eventually arrive on an island country and bring a wave of advanced civilization with him, giving outsiders an advantage in vain.

In his opinion, this is no different from capitalizing on the enemy. It might be more interesting to plan something while the major events are still pending...

Following the king's order, the news of building the giant ship soon spread throughout the country, and even the surrounding countries heard about it. Many skilled craftsmen rushed to Xianyang, hoping to be reused.

In the palace, Ying Zheng glanced at the list on the bamboo slips and didn't pay too much attention to it. But at this moment, the guard on the side reported: "Your Majesty, the public loses the family's grudge and wants to see you!"

"The Gongshu family..."

Ying Zheng's expression changed when he heard this. He naturally knew something about this family. His ancestor was the famous Gongshu Ban. He was unparalleled in the world in mechanical skills and was as famous as Mozi.

And today's Gongshuqiu is a descendant of Gongshuban, who has learned the true art of creation.

Then he said: "Xuan."

After a while, an old man in his fifties was seen coming from outside the hall. He was lean and lean, and his left hand and feet were both mechanical prostheses made of metal. He looked a little stiff and weird.

"The public loses his revenge and pays homage to the king!"

He came to the main hall and bowed with his hands raised, his voice low and hoarse.

Ying Zheng looked at the other party, and then said: "Are you the patriarch of the Gongshu family?"

Gongshu Qiu bowed slightly and replied: "That's right. I heard that the king wanted to build an unprecedented giant ship, so I came here to help."

Hearing this, Ye Zhang said: "The Mohist family's mechanism is made of wood and stone. When bronze opens its mouth, I want to ask Gongshu. Your Gongshu family's mechanism skills are as famous as those of the Mohist family. I wonder what's so unique about it?"

Gongshu Qiu smiled, and then replied: "The Mo family's mechanism creations are nothing more than children's toys. The overbearing mechanism skills of my Gongshu family can break mountains, split rocks, and attack cities. Their power is far beyond their reach."

"Hearing is false and seeing is believing. I want to see it for myself."

Ying Zheng said calmly.
