sweeping the world

Chapter 881

Huan Wen said that it is better to hit the sun than to choose the sun, but in fact it is not that simple.

As the commander-in-chief of an army of nearly one million (including the slave army), how could it be possible for him to go home without saying anything? It is still necessary to explain the follow-up matters well, and to collect rare treasures (including animals). It is to bring the first batch of prisoners of war who should be taken away.

After six consecutive days of busy work with almost no time to take a breather, the Huanwen man finally arrived at Ketak, but before he arrived, the fleet was ready to leave the port and return.

Wang Meng arrived in Cuttack four days earlier than Huan Wen. As an angel, it was not easy for him at all. He had to ensure that the important personnel on the list returned before the fleet departed, and he also had to talk to some generals who could not return to the country temporarily. .

Angels, they are proclaiming power externally, and consoling internally. When Wang Meng arrived in the Asan Continent, he carried out the necessary procedures when the generals gathered. In fact, he said that some emperors were watching the generals. The elders are waiting for the news of their victory. Anyone who listens to the waiting will know that it is a scene, but it is some condolences that they like to hear.

"The other people, if they really can't wait, can take the next fleet." Julian must be considerate, even if he wants to wait, the fleet won't wait at all.But in the end he asked again: "Will the fleet behind take them to the mainland of the Han Empire?"

Wang Meng smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied that Julian put on the Hanfu.

Julian was indeed wearing a Hanfu, or a cool-looking undergarment.

It is a jacket, not a Confucian costume.Ruzhuang is actually a kind of short garment, which is divided into upper garment and lower garment. It has a Chinese-style straight collar with very ethnic characteristics. The color looks plain, and the lower body is a skirt similar to the modern pleated skirt.The matching of the jade belt around his waist made the overall outfit look a bit nondescript.

Julian had always worn the short gown that was very common in Rome before. It was actually a Roman sleeveless short gown that reached to the thigh and knee. Made a batch of Hanfu, and it is slightly hotter in Asan Continent, so it is natural to wear undergarments.

Not only Julian, Hanfu has become popular in various missions. It seems that anyone who doesn't have a set or two of Hanfu is not keeping up with the trend of the times.

This is also a very normal manifestation. If you think which country (ethnicity) is strong, you will subconsciously feel that the strong side is good in everything, and you will want to learn. Undoubtedly, learning from dressing is a good way to start.

To put it bluntly, they are actually using the way of dressing to win the favor of the Han people, especially after they put on Han clothes, the Han people are indeed a little more friendly, and they know that they are doing the right thing.

There are many ships moored in the port of Cuttack, and even more ships outside the port.

In the wharf area, there are loading operations going on all the time. The trophies from the Asan Continent are packed in advance and placed in huge rectangular boxes (container boxes), and finally the huge boxes are hoisted by cranes. to the deck of the ship.

Huan Wen was standing on the pier, watching with his own eyes the cargo that he thought was very important being loaded onto the ship, and he happily boarded the flagship.

Wang Meng, who is an angel, will naturally be arranged on the flagship. He greeted Huan Wen when he boarded the ship, and then separated again.

Julian, Helena, Helena, Xias, Yena, and Nikal, their identities are quite special, and they are also assigned to the flagship.

The flagship is a giant ship over [-] meters in length. If there are no other traversers to disturb the situation, such as going to the North American or South American continents to lay down a piece of land and start their own prosperity, then it is definitely the warship with the largest tonnage in the world.

It is a battleship, which is equipped with twelve bronze guns with a diameter of 250 mm, and also has a very professional rotatable turret.In addition to the main gun, it also has a total of 48 95mm secondary guns.Therefore, it is not only the world's first warship with a length of 120 meters, but also the first gunboat loaded with artillery to enter service in human history.

The few people who were lucky enough to be on the gunboat wanted to wander around on the boat, but reason overcame their impulses, and they really didn't dare to do something out of the ordinary.They didn't even have attendants or maids, and it was impossible for Huan Wen or Wang Meng to arrange personal service personnel, which meant that they needed to do some details of life during the long sea voyage by themselves.

"Giant ship, an unprecedented giant ship!" Helena was inexplicably excited, greedily looking at any detail: "She has as many as six masts, the middle ones are the largest, and seem to have auxiliary wings?"

Julian missed Flavis very much at this moment, and he was sure that Flavis would have told more secrets if he had been there.

There are many people from the Valentinianus family in the mission team. They are all masters who know how to build ships. They went to Han to learn how to build ocean-going ships, but they were not sure whether the Han people were willing to teach them. There should be a higher chance of not being willing.

"It's moving!" Helena was very nervous. Ever since she left the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean, she was deeply afraid of the sea.

The sails were indeed not raised. What drove the battleship to move was a giant roller with fan blades at the stern of the battleship. Its fan blades were mounted on a shaft, and the fan blades were slowly turning the paddles.

If you look at the interior of the cabin, nearly a hundred giant men covered in sinew are pushing the capstan respectively, and the capstan is connected with seemingly very complicated and precise gear parts. Warships provide power.

In fact, if one understands mechanics, the seemingly complicated machinery is only complicated in appearance. It is made of many wooden large gears and small gears meshing together. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of artificial power drive device.

Similar things have appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but they have not been studied in depth. It is not that Liu Yan does not want to make metal gears. It has been proven that he can do it, but the price/performance ratio is really unsuitable.

"It's the thing at the stern that drives the warship to move." Xias looked at the other gunboats around him almost dumbfounded: "It can provide power for the ship like this, does it mean that this warship of the Han Empire Sailing without relying on the wind?"

According to the development of history, even if there is a giant fan drum, it should be placed on the left and right sides of the ship (the first generation steam ship), but Liu Yan asked to be placed at the stern, so he directly crossed this span.

In addition, although there is a giant roller with fan blades, it cannot replace the wind power. If the mechanical parts are used for a long time, they will not be able to withstand the toss.

But the Romans and Persians didn't know the inside story, and they were deeply shocked again.
