In the 201st year of the Haiyuan calendar, lying in the known material world between the east and west storm zones, the last piece of virgin land that has not been conquered by humans-Broken Xinghai.

Three huge black shadows in the shape of a spindle that hung the flag of the Sark Empire "galloping cavalry knife" across the sky, among a group of large lizards covered in steel scales and walking upright on their hind legs, they cast countless black dots representing death. .

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

Shrapnel splashing, raging flames, and lizard's hard scale armor and sharp minions are useless in front of the terrifying war machine.

Suddenly, there were heavy casualties.

After the air raid, the ground forces began to advance strongly in a skirmish line formation.

At this time, in addition to the short flintlock rifle that can be used as an emergency at the waist, the main weapon in the soldier's hand has been replaced with a high-pressure power gun.

boom! boom! boom! boom! ...

With a burst of fire, the deadly projectile exploded blood-colored flowers in the sparsely sparsely sparsely populated lizard group.

Huh—!

An extraordinary person wearing a full-body steel armor walked at the forefront of the team, with steam from the power hammer in his hand, transforming the blazing heat into surging kinetic energy, and slammed it on the head of a big lizard that slipped through the net.

Broken bones and brains burst on the spot!

Among the extraordinary powers around him, there are ordinary knights who follow the tradition and use extraordinary weapons and swordsmanship.

But more are [mechanical knights] wielding power axes, power hammers, chainsaw swords...and so on. They can use specific auxiliary power weapons to perform far beyond the human body or even the second-order physical side supernatural. .

Boom.. Boom.. Boom..

However, the most eye-catching part of the pioneering team is not them, but the two alchemy giants who are more than two stories tall. They shook the mountain every step they took, and their momentum was terrifying.

On each of their necks sits a [Steamer] wearing a windshield and gear jacket, and a giant coal stove is embedded in the middle of their chests, always emitting a dazzling fire.

It was a masterpiece of alchemy and modern science—[Giant Soldier·Furnace Type I], each of which was far more powerful than the official knight of the second-order peak, but it was... a mass-produced model.

Although many of these steam-age-styled equipment carry the emblems of "Steam and Machinery Cult" or "Vulcan Metal Company", many also carry other logos.

This shows a fact that makes Tulip people know whether to be frustrated or gratified.

In the past few years, the steam industry, especially the military industry, seems to have ceased to be the only one of the Tulip Alliance, and countries have gradually begun to establish their own military industry systems.

Unlike civilian patents, no patents are useful in the military field.

For example, [High Pressure Steam Gun] or [Iron Armored Ship], [Dreadnought-Class Battleship], if they are secretly copied after being analyzed.

Although there is a clear gap in the level of technology, this kind of behavior is beyond any legal provisions.

The only good news is that with the great popularity of steam creation, Mennon Watt, the "god of steam and machinery", has strengthened again.

"Here, start!"

call-!

A group of soldiers, under the command of a legal post, found the magic element node from the giant lizard’s lair, and smashed the [Earth Vein Seal Bolt·Reform] that is currently only produced by the Principality of Galliot and the Palme d’Or Federation.

Although the expensive ones are dying, they can return the chaotic geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and wind directions back to the right track through the silent magic element, and simultaneously block the [Dark Side of the World], so that the evil spirits living in it can no longer run out casually.

Large areas including islands and nearby sea areas have returned to normal.

Not only can airships, which are more afraid of extreme weather than sailing ships, be able to fly normally in this area. You can even immigrate slowly and transform it into a livable environment where ordinary people can live normally.

A geologist has finished the work at hand, waving a report sheet and laughing loudly:

"Hahaha, gold mine, there is a gold mine on this island, with a grade of 600 g/ton, we are rich!"

Generally, the grade of gold in gold mines with industrial mining value is 2-3 g/ton, rich ore is 5-50 g/ton, and extra-rich ore is 50-500 g/ton.

One can imagine the value of this island.

The commander of this exploratory team couldn't help but slam his fist in excitement.

In the tide of the steam industrial revolution, the "Tulip Alliance" used various raw materials, markets, and populations in a huge colony to push itself, a small country, to the throne of the world's largest power.

Those latecomers who also began to vigorously develop the steam industry, the Sac Empire, Palme d’Or, Heymar...want to rise, the first choice is naturally to repeat the old tulip path.

Constantly expand outwards to obtain more land, more population, more raw materials, and more markets.

But now that the world is known to be saturated, they naturally set their sights on the tens of thousands of islands in the "Broken Star Sea".

Finally, two hundred years after the beginning of the great nautical era.

Relying on so many years of colonial accumulation, the steam industrial revolution, and various technologies that cannot be derived from outsiders, the powerful nations have begun to systematically attack the "broken sea of ​​stars".

Based on the principle of whoever occupies and owns, the official and powerful private development companies of various countries have launched a fierce competition in the entire "Broken Xinghai".

For the first time, this sea has unveiled its mystery to mankind on a large scale.

It contains the essence of millions of years in the past four epochs. Many places have been influenced by pre-epoch civilization or unique rules, and are full of various treasures.

Such as the high-yield crops that Anqi once harvested, magical animals and plants, industrial raw materials, precious metals, gems, petroleum... etc.

Some experts even predict that because of the special geographical environment, the various resources contained in the "Broken Star Sea" may top the entire known material world!

call-!

The steam propellers propel the three "rigid airships" at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to a ship's speed of 13 knots, around the island, preparing to fly to the nearby island for the next support mission.

However, on another island not far away, an airship team with the snowflake flag of the Kingdom of Atlan slowly floated into the sky.

In the previous battle for the Potosi silver mine, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Sack and Atlan reluctantly signed an agreement, but the Liangzi between the two countries was also completely concluded.

For the pilot of the airship, if he has the record of the opponent's down, he can get promoted and make a fortune by the way.

After the remote demonstration, the pilots of both sides were about to fire a few shots at each other to strengthen their luck.

A flying formation consisting of four airships didn't care about their daggers and swaggered past them.

Each airship has a very obvious coat of arms.

The blue shield in the middle is surrounded by a silver crowned sea snake. The shields on the left and right sides are a golden lion and an emerald dragon, surrounded by a circle of emerald orange leaves and stars. At the top is a golden lion and an emerald dragon. It is a golden crown.

And on the bottom flag at the bottom is a motto: "Never-ending exploration."

Wait for the airship commanders of the Sark Empire and the Atlan Kingdom to see this coat of arms.

"retreat!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! ....

Regardless of national enmity and merit, let alone any drastic actions, he turned his head and left without hesitation.

Just because this is the official pioneering team of the Duchy of Galliot!

Regardless of whether there are members of the Galliot family in it, just a family crest is enough for the commanders of both sides to recognize the reality.

Although one called an empire and another called a kingdom, but gave way to a mere duchy, it was nothing shameful.

In this world, what determines the status of a country is never a title, but true strength!

however.

In this turbulent era, everything is possible.

The elites of all countries also have a dream called "World Hegemon", just like the Tulip Alliance successfully overthrew Hillius and crowned himself as the new king.

Of course, the dream is still necessary, what if it is realized?
