North Korea, Port of Incheon.

Today, on the docks of the port, four monster ships came.

Why are they monsters?

Because, their appearance is simply huge and terrifying like never before.

They weren't as big as the few building warships beside them.

But it is also far beyond the body of other ships.

It is seven or eight zhang long, two or three zhang wide, docked on the pier, like a monster from the deep sea, which is intimidating.

However, these monster ships are different from the Hanjialou ships that often appeared on the dock before.

All of them have eliminated the female walls and floors of the ship.

But that doesn't make them small.

On the contrary, it reveals a kind of sea overlord, the majesty of an invincible ship.

This is because, after the removal of the bloated walls and floors of the building ship, a kind of huge mast that had never been seen before replaced them.

Four huge masts stood above the hull of these monsters.

Although the huge sails have landed, any pedestrian, as long as he sees these masts, can know that this kind of ship has the ability to brave the wind and waves on the sea.

It is a new generation of Han capital ships designed for the ocean.

"Junhou, this is the brand-new elite warship of the Lou Ship Yamen!" Xu Ji took Chen Chan and stood on the deck of a monster, and proudly introduced to the latter: "This ship is built by Jiangdu State Shipyard, and it is built by the first-class craftsmen of Qilu, Wuchu and Chu countries from the Lou Ship Yamen to build it with the will of His Majesty, and it is the most suitable ship for sailing the sea today!" ”

After the establishment of the Lou Ship Yamen. When the ship got off and off the floor, it undertook the task of patrolling, escorting, and transporting the coastal waters of Qilu-Liaodong-North Korea.

After a long period of practice. Upstairs and boats, I know it. The old building ship was only a kind of ship designed to fight in inland waterways.

Its performance on the ocean is not as good as that of inland rivers, and it is not as reliable as imagined.

So far, several buildings have sunk in storms or tides offshore.

Hundreds of soldiers and generals fell into the water and died.

Therefore, the Louchuan Yamen began to urgently need a new kind of ship suitable for sailing on the sea.

So in the first month of last year. After the report of the building ship and the approval of the Son of Heaven, the design and construction of this brand-new sea warship began in Jiangdu Kingdom.

At the beginning of the design, the design goal of this kind of warship was to be used for sea voyages.

In the beginning, the design didn't go well.

After all, China has never had experience in designing a ship specifically for ocean navigation.

However, then the Son of Heaven intervened in this matter. An edict was issued to remove all unnecessary buildings and structures on the basis of the ship, and to improve the hull structure. In order to adapt to the natural environment of the rolling ocean and the changing climate.

So, there is such a monster battleship now.

This brand new battleship. It is the first of its kind in Zhuxia and is specifically aimed at the marine environment. And the design of the ship.

It refers to all the adverse reactions of the building ship in the ocean fed back by the Yamen of the building ship, and makes a variety of designs suitable for sea navigation.

Such as. Its four-sided sails, made of rigid cloth, once sailed into the sea, when moving against the wind, the speed is nearly two-thirds faster than that of the old building boats, and when the sails are full, the speed is as fast as a galloping horse.

It only took half a month to get from Jiangdu to North Korea!

This was unthinkable in the past!

However, even then, such a battleship was only an experimental ship.

Only four ships were built, and only these four ships were built.

The meaning of the Lou Ship Yamen is to use these four ships to experiment whether their own design is reasonable, and then constantly modify and improve them according to the suggestions of practical use feedback.

The ultimate goal is to create an ocean-going ship that can cross the ocean and reach thousands of miles away.

After hearing that Chen Ji planned to go to the country of Japanese slaves, Xu Ji's uncle Xu Weld immediately ordered that the four ships that had just completed sea trials be transferred to North Korea to participate in this voyage.

The purpose is to take this opportunity to test whether the design meets the real needs.

After all, North Korea is not close to the country of Japanese slaves.

It can be said that it is both near the sea and in the open ocean.

Of course, the most important thing is -

This operation of Lou Chuan Yamen also had the task of finding out where the Xu Fu fleet sent by Qin Shi Huang had gone.

In that year, Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls, as well as a huge fleet, to go to sea to search for immortals and seek immortal medicine.

After going to sea, he disappeared.

It's hard not to get people's attention about this matter!

You must know that Xu Fu's fleet carried a large number of treasures and artifacts as well as gold and jade.

If they are found and those riches are retrieved, there will be hope for the funds of the Lou Chuan Yamen.

Moreover, Xu Ji is very clear about his uncle's ambitions.

General Lou Chuan doesn't want to just be majestic in the inland river, or be a fisherman and catch fish in the black water.

The boat went up and down, and he was not willing to eat and wait for death.

Up and down, tens of thousands of generals and soldiers are eager to find a new world.

A new world that only the Lou Ship Yamen can travel to and conquer.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you have to find a way to the poison and open up this route.

At present, the king of Nanyue is in Chang'an, and he has high hopes for the annexation of Nanyue.

They all wanted to take advantage of this to open a route to the body poison.

Everyone's idea is very simple - if he can come, I can also go.

Since the poisonous businessman can come to South Vietnam, it makes no sense, the Chinese building ship can't go to the poisonous body.

Once this route is opened, the building ship will go up and down, and you will soon make a fortune!

The waist bag up and down must be burst.

Therefore, today's building ship can be described as full of energy.

Of course, Xu Ji will not tell Chen Chan about these things.

Xu Ji looked like 'I do things, the prince can rest assured', and impassionedly explained the advantages of these four new warships to Chen Chan one by one, and in many places, it is inevitable to exaggerate - Chen Chan can't understand it anyway.

Chen Chan, of course, doesn't know how to sail, and he doesn't know the affairs of the ship.

Even before this year, he didn't know what the people were eating for three meals a day.

But young people have big brains.

Chen Ji listened to Xu Ji constantly boasting about how strong, fast, and powerful these new warships were.

The heart was also said to be boiling.

Moreover, he carefully observed this batch of new warships, and after on-the-spot inspection, he also felt that such a large ship was indeed very reliable.

The huge sails that landed on the deck gave him enough security.

"Captain Pontus has decided!" Chen Ji stroked the thick rope on the deck and said to Xu Ji: "I will sail with the fleet to the country of the Japanese slaves!" ”

In Chen Chan's mind, this new type of warship is big and sturdy, Xu Ji blows the sky again, and the country of Japanese slaves is not too far away from Korea.

The barbarians of Korea can row a small sampan, float along the current, catch the Japanese slaves and float back, it makes no sense, now there is such a majestic ship, a powerful fleet, and they can't get there!

What's more, he personally commanded the fleet, and traveled thousands of miles to the Eight Desolations, not in the recorded foreign lands.

This is a great journey that has never been done before.

In the future, how can his name not be left in the history books? (To be continued.) )
