Chapter 969: The Second Ocean Voyage

The establishment of the Dawson dynasty disturbed a pool of autumn water.

Ouyang Shuo immediately made up his mind and set the departure time for the second ocean voyage, November 6.

After reviewing the music for a day, returning to the harem in the evening, Ouyang Shuo accompanied his wife Song Jia to dinner, two and a half months have passed, Song Jia's belly has risen slightly, indicating that two new lives are being conceived.

Song Jia is pregnant, and Ouyang Shuo's mentality is also slowly changing, and he has a heavy title in his role list - father.

Maybe at this moment, Ouyang Shuo really "grew up".

"How's the group doing?" Ouyang Shuo asked while carefully serving his wife vegetables.

Song Jia was idle, and she couldn't practice martial arts after she was pregnant, so she simply devoted most of her energy to the operation of [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group].

Seeing that her husband was so considerate, Song Jia's heart was full of sweetness, and she said with a smile: "The group is preparing to shoot "Mulan", and Zhaojun's training has also been completed, and he is preparing to hold his first concert in the capital next month. ”

Song Jia is really good at using resources, and Mulan was targeted soon after she formed the palace maid and devoted herself to the film industry, "Isn't this a bit unprofessional?" ”

This thought was just a flash, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to say it, as for Wang Zhaojun's concert, it was nothing, Zhaojun was still recommended by Ouyang Shuo to the group.

Song Jia then broke the news, "Diao Chan has agreed to be the lead dancer of Zhaojun's concert." ”

"Cough~~" Ouyang Shuo was choked, "Wang Zhaojun with Diao Chan?" I'm afraid that no one can resist the temptation of this god-level combination! ”

"Awesome!"

Ouyang Shuo gave a thumbs up.

Song Jia smiled proudly, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Although the Qingyang Sword Sect in Shu has withdrawn to Chengdu, the sect headquarters is still there. What Lin Yue meant was whether the imperial court could transfer it to the Dongli Sword Sect so that a rudder could be built in Shudi. ”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, "Lin Yue's ambition is not small." ”

There are many outstanding people in Shudi, whether it is martial arts culture or Xianxia culture, Lin Yue wants to take advantage of the east wind of the imperial court to conquer Shu in one fell swoop, and he does have a vision.

"As long as you follow the rules, it's naturally no problem, and I'll talk to Tian Wenjing." Since the Eastern Fence Sword Sect intends to expand its power, Ouyang Shuo naturally will not stop it.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo remembered something, "During the time I left, your sister-in-law had to supervise Bing'er's homework well, this girl is getting more and more skinny, where did she go at night?" ”

At the dining table, Ouyang Shuo didn't see Bing'er.

Song Jiamian smiled, "Don't worry, Bing'er is sensible." Tonight, at the invitation of Bai Xue, I went to the Wei Mansion as a guest. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, but he didn't expect Bai Xue to fall in love with Bing'er.

The night wind blew, and there was no word all night.

************

November 6, North Seaport.

The lively Beihai City looked very solemn, and the Chinese military officials rushed to see them off.

The second voyage was more planned than the first ocean voyage, with the fleet first heading to Xingzhou County, where Ouyang Shuo will meet with ASEAN lords to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership.

The fleet will then pass through the Strait of Malacca and enter the Indian Ocean.

Unlike the first voyage, the Royal Fleet no longer headed west, but south, heading straight for Australia. On the way, Ouyang Shuo also had to try to see if he could trigger the story mission of the Lemurian civilization.

If time permits, Ouyang Shuo is also planning to make a trip to New Zealand, and then return to the second global auction.

The whole itinerary is very compact, but fortunately, whether it is ASEAN, Australia, or New Zealand, Ouyang Shuo is not bare-handed. Prior to this, Honglu Temple had already sent an envoy group to build an outpost.

The symbolic significance of Ouyang Shuo's trip is far greater than the actual significance.

After worshipping Mazu as usual, Ouyang Shuo boarded the Yuhuang, and the entire fleet set sail.

One after another, the Z1 battleships surrounded the giant Yuhuang and slowly sailed out of the harbor, surrounded by dense warships and red horse boats, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Compared with the building ship, the Z1 battleship has three main changes.

First, the sail system was reshaped by absorbing the strengths of the sail battleship. Needless to say, in the era of human and natural power, the sail design of the sail battleship was indeed the most advanced in the world.

Second, reshape the artillery design system.

The guns on both sides of the ship were increased, with a total of 90 guns, and the Z1 gun was used in combination with the Z2 gun, so as to increase the fire network without putting too much burden on the ship's load.

In addition, two super cannons have been creatively added to the bow and stern, which far surpass the Z1 cannon in terms of range and firepower.

Of course, the huge size of the cannon is also destined to be used only as a deterrent, and it cannot be popularized at all. Even so, with these two main guns, the Z1 battleship is not limited by a longitudinal formation.

Even if you charge or retreat, the Z1 can kill the enemy instead of slaughtering them.

Third, the integration of new technologies.

Whether it is ramming angles, racks, or watertight compartment technology, a series of new warship transformation technologies led by ship expert Sun Lao have come to a technical integration on the Z1 battleship.

It can be said that the Z1 battleship has made a qualitative breakthrough compared with the Lou Ship Battleship in terms of form, speed, tonnage and firepower, and its advanced degree surpasses any ancient Chinese wooden warship.

Sun Lao asserted that even the British sail battleships were not comparable.

The success of the Z1 warship can be seen as a microcosm of the vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry in Daxia.

If the Z1 warship is the most advanced warship at sea today, then the Yuhuang is a giant at sea.

Compared with the Z1 type battleship, the Yuhuang is a full circle larger, the artillery has also increased to 120, and the tonnage has reached 3,600 tons, surpassing the first-class sail battleship.

There is even a specially designed apron on the top deck of the Yuhuang for mimic aircraft to take off and land.

The most important thing is that the Yuhuang tried to use the steam engine as auxiliary power for the first time, which opened the prelude to the shipbuilding industry to replace human and natural forces with the mechanical power of the steam engine.

The Z2 warship under development will fully use the steam engine, which will be another technological innovation.

…………

North Bay, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, South China Sea......

Along the way, Ouyang Shuo sighed a lot that these overseas islands were not desert islands for a long time, and they were included in the development list by Qiongzhou County early, and almost every island showed signs of player activity in China.

From time to time, you can see fleets of fishing boats on the sea, and with the development of shipbuilding, Dynasty fishing has gradually developed from inshore fishing to distant-sea fishing.

On the table of the dignitaries of Shanhai City, seafood has long been not a new ingredient.

When passing through the North Bay, there is not a single Annam ship on the sea, whether it is a fishing boat, a merchant ship, or a warship. Although the Annan Naval Division was rebuilt, it did not dare to go to sea at all under the deterrence of the Yashan fleet.

On 9 November, the Royal Fleet passed through the Spratly Islands.

Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that the last time was in the Nansha Islands, the ocean-going fleet was attacked by a storm and an octopus monster at the same time, so that Ouyang Shuo inadvertently arrived on the nameless island and discovered the dragon vein.

The keel of the Yuhuang is the skeleton of the black dragon on the island.

Just as the fleet was about to pass through the Nansha Islands, a dragon chant came from high in the sky, "Whoa~~~~"

"What sound?"

"Alert, artillery in position!"

The royal fleet was flustered but not confused, which made Ouyang Shuo quite satisfied.

When I looked up, I saw a golden dragon with a length of thousands of meters breaking through the clouds and suddenly appearing in midair. The golden scales, the thick dragon body of the grinding plate, and the cold and shining dragon claws are intimidating.

"Dragon, it's a dragon!"

The dragon of luck has manifested several "miracles", and the people of Great Xia are no strangers to the mysterious species of dragons. The first reaction of the soldiers was that they thought that it was another dragon manifestation.

The strange thing is that they used to see the purple dragon, but the golden dragon in front of them is a golden dragon, not to mention that this golden dragon is very similar to the Great Xia flag.

The golden dragon in the air scratched its head with its claws, and a trace of doubt flashed in its eyes, "Shouldn't these humans be shocked when they see themselves?" How calmly one by one. ”

The moment he saw the golden dragon, Ouyang Shuo thought of the legend of Dragon Island that Qilin told him when he was on the Nameless Island. Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo breathed away and asked, "Your Excellency is from Dragon Island?" ”

The golden dragon was even more surprised, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it.

Ouyang Shuo smiled faintly, "I had the privilege of hearing a Qilin senior mention it. ”

"Hmph." The dragon was noncommittal, remembering the purpose of his trip, and said viciously, "Human, tell me why I smell the scent of my people here. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Ouyang Shuo suddenly felt in his heart, the clansman breath that the dragon said must be emitted by the dragon bone of the Yu Huang, Ouyang Shuo decided to use the black dragon bone to build the Yu Huang Hao, and he was already looking forward to it.

The construction was completed, and the Yuhuang did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo.

The Yuhuang faintly exuded a dragon might, and when sailing, no matter what kind of deep-sea beast it was, whenever it sensed this breath, it would all retreat, and would never dare to step forward to attack the fleet.

The more powerful the sea monster, the farther away it is.

As a result, the Royal Fleet never encountered a single sea monster along the way.

Ouyang Shuo did not hide it, and told the truth about the black dragon.

Qilin told Ouyang Shuo that this black dragon was originally a dragon race, and he was still a very famous "wanted criminal", since the golden dragon was from Dragon Island, there was no reason why he couldn't get along with Ouyang Shuo.

Sure enough, after listening to Ouyang Shuo's narration, the golden dragon looked a little excited, and with a wave of the dragon's claw, a claw made of energy condensed passed through the Yu Huang and grabbed a trace of black dragon breath.

The golden dragon sniffed the breath, and it was unmistakable.

Ouyang Shuo saw it, but his eyes froze, this golden dragon was really amazing.
