Chapter 145 Poyang Evolution

[Notepad opens.]

[202 AD, Yangzhou.You return to Yangzhou and find that mutants are attacking again, and mutant monsters are also attacking the border of the Han Dynasty. Through analysis, you find that the source of biological mutation is caused by the continuous nuclear radiation in Fukushima, Japan. You decide to look at the root cause to solve the problem of mutants. 】

[Trigger challenge mission: eradicate cancer]

[Mission details: Completely solve the source of nuclear radiation]

[Task reward: entry*2 golden entry*1]

Notepad opened automatically, proving that Liu Xuan's analysis was correct.

The great pirate's treasure hides the secret of the distortion of time and space and the overlap of planes.

The secret is that due to the distortion of time and space, a man-made disaster after 2000 - nuclear radiation - reappeared on the island where the treasure is located.

The great pirate's treasure, the Poyang, suppressed all nuclear radiation due to some special function.
Let the variation caused by radiation be controlled within the range of dense fog.

It wasn't until Liu Xuan took away the treasure that the nuclear radiation spread completely, causing all the creatures on the island to mutate and begin to spread to the surrounding areas.

To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell had to be tied. In the end, it was Liu Xuan who had to solve this problem.

However, even though he knew the problem, Liu Xuan was still at a loss to solve it.

This is the era of cold weapons. To eradicate a cancer caused by technology after 2000, it is estimated that relying on the methods of this era will not work.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

I also have something that transcends time!

With a thought, Liu Xuan started the notepad and opened the Poyang's panel.

[Notepad opens.]

[Poyang number panel parameters are being read.]

[Functions: Unsinkable (activated); Speedy (activated); Energy conversion (activated); Protective armor (activated); Cannonball workshop (activated);? ? ? (inactivated)】

When Liu Xuan went north to quell Hu, he handed over the Poyang to Cheng Hu.

Cheng Hu is also a person summoned by Liu Xuan through the entry. He is absolutely loyal to Liu Xuan. There is no need to worry about what Cheng Hu will think when he sees the changes in the Poyang.

Cheng Hu controlled the Poyang and sailed across the sea with the navy commanded by Sun Quan, killing all the mutants he encountered along the way.

The energy of all the mutants who were killed was absorbed by the Poyang and became the energy for the Poyang's upgrade.

Liu Xuan looked at the building in his mind, which was nearly a hundred meters long, and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

A layer of protective armor is installed on the outside of the ship, which is more than ten meters high. Judging from the material of this armor, at least weapons of this era are absolutely unable to penetrate it.

Coupled with the already activated unsinkable function, it can be said that with this ship, Liu Xuan is at least invincible.

There are dozens of turrets left on both sides of the ship, and each turret is equipped with a ballista. This is a new weapon evolved by the Poyang.

For such a huge warship, it is obviously a bit backward to rely on steam engine power. A new power system, the internal combustion engine, has evolved.
Because the energy conversion function has been activated, part of the energy absorbed by the Poyang is automatically converted into fuel for the internal combustion engine.

The cannonball workshop is also a newly activated function. Liu Xuan looked at the parameters and found that this cannonball workshop can automatically produce the ammunition needed for current weapons.

The weapons on the ship have evolved into ballistae. The shells used are similar to crossbow arrows, but are thicker than crossbow arrows. When they hit the target, the shells will cause a small explosion.

The power is much more powerful than ordinary crossbows.

More than two months have passed since the northern phoenix rose in late autumn to early winter.

The Poyang has killed many mutants during this period, and the energy it has absorbed has allowed it to upgrade from its stern form last year by two levels, becoming the most powerful warship of this era, a building ship.

Liu Xuan knew that as long as he continued to kill mutants and accumulate energy, the Poyang would evolve to the next stage sooner or later, which would definitely be a product beyond this era.

Correspondingly, the functions that can be activated will become more and more advanced, and maybe a solution to the root cause of radiation can be found.

After making up his mind, Liu Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately started making arrangements for the next step.

The first step must be to increase troops.

After more than a year of development, Liu Xuan's rule extended to Huaiyin in the north and Shanyue in the south.

The Jianghuai area has not experienced war since Liu Xuan's rule five years ago. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are prosperous and prosperous, attracting a large number of refugees.

The northern part of Yangzhou has always been a densely populated and prosperous land, and there is no shortage of soldiers.

Among them, Danyang and Wujun have a tradition of being professional soldiers for generations.

Obviously, the [-] soldiers in such a large territory were already insufficient. Liu Xuan directly issued an order to recruit troops. Except for the Tiger Camp, which could not be expanded, all other arms were doubled.

The goal is to increase the total number of troops under the rule to 20.

As soon as the recruitment order was issued, the recruitment offices in various counties and cities were crowded with young men who came to apply.

It is no exaggeration to say that the young people in many places under Liu Xuan's rule were almost looking forward to Liu Xuan recruiting troops, because the treatment of being a soldier under King Huaiyang was really the best in the world.

In addition to the fact that its own military pay is at least three times that of other places, other benefits are beyond the reach of other forces.

First of all, there is no need to pay taxes. If one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be tax-free.

Secondly, under Liu Xuan's deliberate promotion, serving as a soldier became a symbol of glory and was highly respected among the people.

Finally, the arrangements for death compensation and injured retirement were also achieved to the extreme.

Liu Xuan has nothing else but a lot of money and a lot of products.

When a soldier is killed in battle, the death pension he receives can at least prevent a family of four from starving to death without having to work for ten years.

When later generations grow up and want to find a job in the official industry, they also have priority.

As for the retired soldiers, the government at all levels will directly arrange a job with a stable income.

In this way, the soldiers have no worries at all, and they can fight to the death for Liu Xuan on the battlefield.

Therefore, once the recruitment order was issued, young men from all over the country tried their best to enlist in the army. Some brought their own weapons, some brought their own food, and some even promised not to receive military pay for three months.

The most exaggerated one is Danyang County. There are nearly 8000 local professional soldiers. Under the leadership of Danyang general Zhu Zhi and his son, they were directly organized into an army and joined Liu Xuan's command.Liu Xuan was overjoyed. Liu Xuan had also heard about the reputation of the Danyang soldiers for being brave and good at fighting. However, after conquering Yangzhou, Liu Xuan was summoned to Xuchang by the emperor before he had time to recruit the Danyang army.

Now they have taken the initiative to form an army to surrender, including the famous Danyang general Zhu Zhi and his son Zhu Cai. For Liu Xuan, wouldn't it be a great blessing to have an army at this juncture that hardly needs training and has its own general?
One hundred thousand soldiers were recruited in less than half a month, and there were even some weak young men who refused to leave after being eliminated. Liu Xuan had to let them temporarily join the city defense forces in various counties to maintain public order in various places.

These newly recruited soldiers took over the garrison tasks of the veterans, and one hundred thousand veterans were placed by Liu Xuan on the coast from Jianghuai to Yangzhou to resist the attack of mutants.

Liu Xuan also received news that the Guangling Navy led by Gan Ning, Sun Quan and Cheng Hu had returned to Guangling Port to take a temporary rest while waiting for Liu Xuan to make new deployments.

In Guangling Port, densely packed warships have filled the entire port, so that many warships are anchored outside the port.

The largest number of them are new fighting ships built by Guangling Shipyard.

This kind of steam engine-powered fighting ship has a hard hull, strong maneuverability, and a hard ramming angle. It is not very comfortable to deal with the mutated wooden ships of mutants.

Among the densely packed fighting ships, the Poyang in the form of a building ship stood out.

At least all the generals in Jiangdong, including Sun Quan, couldn't help but glance at the Poyang from time to time.

It has the size of a building ship, the speed of a fighting ship, and an unheard-of ballistae that can shoot explosive bolts.

The mutants killed by this single building ship were enough to be worth hundreds of fighting ships.

Sun Quan led the former Jiangdong Navy men, and Gan Ning led the former Guangling Navy generals to meet Liu Xuan.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the original bookishness on Sun Quan's face has completely faded away, replaced by a sharp and heroic look.

"Sun Quan and Gan Ning have met my lord."

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "Zhongmou, Xingba, there is no need to be formal. I received a message from Jianye. Yangzhou was attacked by mutants. Your fleet is struggling to cope with it. How is the situation now?"

Sun Quan said seriously: "Reporting to my lord, this is indeed the case. Thanks to the power of my lord's Poyang, our army, led by the Poyang, temporarily repelled a large wave of mutant attacks. But it is estimated that the next wave will come soon. When it comes, please make an early decision, my lord."

Liu Xuan frowned and said: "I have [-] navy generals and more than [-] battleships, but I can't even defeat the mutants? When did their combat power become so powerful?"

Cheng Hu interjected: "It's not a problem with mutants. They're just a lot more in number than last year, so it's not difficult to deal with them. They are mainly unknown monsters, and it's extremely difficult for our fighting ships to deal with them."

Sun Quan nodded, "General Cheng is right. Our fleet lost three battleships in the last battle. They were all attacked by a huge monster."

"If the Poyang hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid this monster would have invaded Guangling County."

"Oh? What kind of monster is it?"

Gan Ning replied: "My lord, the monster you have seen is the one we met by the small lake on the central island of the Japanese kingdom."

Liu Xuan was stunned, "What? The monster is here too?"

Gan Ning nodded and said: "Yes, and there are more than one, as well as the mutant octopus we encountered before. Various mutant monsters are much more difficult to deal with than mutants."

When Liu Xuan heard what Gan Ning said, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Last year, it was just the mutant attack, and almost all the soldiers along the Han Dynasty joined the battle to resist the mutant invasion. This year, if various monsters attack, these soldiers may not be able to stop it.

But the only good news is that detoxifying herbs have been planted in large quantities, and Liu Xuan's soldiers have basically taken the medicinal decoction. After being bitten by mutants or mutant monsters, the poison will not mutate immediately.

While everyone was discussing how to respond, the guards suddenly reported that the imperial envoy from Xuchang had arrived and asked Liu Xuan to go and receive the order.

"Is the imperial edict coming at this time?" Liu Xuan and his subordinates were a little confused.

"It seems that the news of our return has reached Xudu." Jia Xu said.

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Xuan was helpless. Although the military situation was urgent, the emperor still had to give him some face.

Liu Xuan led everyone to accept the order, and they were all speechless.

It turned out that the entire eastern coastal area of ​​the Han Dynasty was attacked by mutants and mutant monsters, and the states and counties requested the imperial court to send troops for assistance.

Where are the soldiers and generals in the current imperial court to go to war?In the end, for some unknown reason, this job was assigned to Liu Xuan.

The emperor appointed Liu Xuan as the General of Zhendong, taking charge of the coastal defense affairs of the Han Dynasty.

From north to south, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and the coastal areas all needed Liu Xuan to send troops for defense.

Moreover, Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Xuzhou of Qingzhou also issued official documents at the same time,
When Liu Xuan's army entered the coastal areas of these states and counties, they did not need to ask for customs clearance and could pass at will.

After the imperial envoy left, Jia Xu sneered: "How can this be the emperor's imperial edict? It is clearly Cao Cao's trick, intending to make our army fight against mutated monsters. This is a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. In my opinion, lord Just ignore it."

Liu Xuan looked at the content of the decree, and it seemed that it was indeed done by Cao Cao, and perhaps Liu Bei was also involved.

You know, when the Qiang and Hu invaded Hedong County, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were singing in harmony at the court, and finally Liu Xuan had to send troops to quell the Hu.

But they didn't expect that Liu Xuan would wipe out the Qiang and Hu rebellions within half a year, and the losses would be minimal.

It seems that when the two of them failed to succeed in their plan, they used the invasion of mutants to push Liu Xuan to the coastal battlefield.

Cao Cao clearly played the trick of coercing the emperor to control the princes.

It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't know that Liu Xuan planned to send troops even if they didn't use this method.

There is no other reason than that the Poyang requires energy to evolve.

Currently, the only way Liu Xuan knows to accumulate energy is to kill mutants.

Furthermore, it was impossible for Liu Xuan to remain indifferent as mutants and mutant monsters invaded the land of the Han Dynasty.

Shaking his head, Liu Xuandao said: "Whether it is Cao Cao's trick or not, killing mutants and mutant monsters is the top priority at the moment. Don't worry, Wen He. Cao Cao wants to use the emperor's hand to manipulate me, which is really out of the blue."

Two days later, Liu Xuan's army was reorganized and led the army out again.

One hundred thousand infantry and cavalry moved north and deployed defenses along the coastline.

The main force of the [-]-strong naval force, mostly led by Gan Ning and Sun Quan, patrolled back and forth from north to south, and from south to north, making sure to kill most of the mutants at sea.

As for the remaining 2000 people, they were elite men selected from the [-] navy.

Liu Xuan personally commanded the army, with Lu Bu and Cheng Hu as deputy generals, stationed at Poyang as a sharp-edged force specializing in tough battles.

The rest of the navy soldiers drove the newly built stern boats from Guangling Shipyard and quickly cruised the sea. If they found large monsters, they immediately reported the Poyang.

Three days later, the Poyang received a battle report from the ship. A giant monster appeared in the waters near Guangling.

Liu Xuan immediately mobilized the Poyang and headed for the place where the incident occurred.
