Datang Live Room

Back in Kuoding County, Yan Kai heard that the first blessing boat had been built.

But he didn’t go into the water, and he didn’t give him a name, so he just waited for him.

But because I just came back, there were too many things.

Busy here and there every day, settling in new people and understanding the situation of spring plowing.

There are also all kinds of things made by craftsmen in the workshop and home that have been established for such a long time.

I'm so busy, I'm so busy.

Finally, after everything was sorted out, Yan Kai had time to take Li Anyan and the others to the beach to see the built blessing boat.

The road to the beach has been rebuilt.

Now there is a coke factory in the county, and all the carbon residue produced is used to pave roads.

This kind of charcoal road may not be advanced in modern times, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was already a rare good road.

The road surface is smooth and there will be no muddy water when it rains. The only drawback is that it is a little too rough.

If the cart pulls too many things, it will cost more wheels.

All the way north along the black charcoal road, because there are more people, many places along the road have been reclaimed into farmland.

A variety of crops are planted, and the green area looks pleasing to the eye.

When you get to the beach, you can see a huge ship parked there.

Li Anyan's breathing became even tighter.

This was agreed to be his flagship in the future.

Now just looking at it from a distance, it feels as oppressive as a hill!

Getting closer, not to mention Li Anyan, even Yan Kai was a little stunned.

This... seems to be a little different from the design drawings!

The craftsmen next to him all looked at Yan Kai respectfully. Who didn't know that his young county magistrate had a fierce general named Cheng Huailiang under his command.

Jieli Khan broke into the Turks for thousands of miles to hunt them down, and finally captured him alive!

What I listen to the bearded man behind Magistrate Xiaoyan every day is simply more exciting than the script.

"Magistrate Xiaoyan, after you leave this boat, we will do what you said...that..."

“The more awesome the better!”

"Yes, according to what you said, the more awesome the better, so it contains a lot of things!"

Yan Kai did leave such a message when he left. At the beginning, these craftsmen were also worried, what exactly does it mean to be awesome?

Later I asked Zhou Tong and I understood, I understood everything.

For example, the bow of the ship was ordinary.

But later everyone saw that there was still a lot of iron material. It was not enough to cover the whole ship, but it could create a ferocious collision angle in front.

What else is there to say? Press on!

There are also crossbows, and there are so many of them that they really can’t fit on one floor.

So they cleverly added a small building on the deck in the shape of a sentry tower, specifically for placing the crossbow machine.

In this way, the number of crossbows increased by dozens.

This was not enough. On both sides of the ship's side, they thought that since the waterwheels in the county could drive many machines to do things that humans could not do, why not on the ship?

So two water wheels were added on both sides.

Usually they are hung on both sides of the ship.

Once the winch is turned when it is time to use it, the two water wheels will be launched into the water.

Then when the ship moves forward, these two water wheels will start to rotate like a water wheel, driving the upper connecting rod to start winding the two huge ballistae on both sides of the ship.

That's right, it's a ballista.

The reason why it is called so is because the diameter of the crossbow arrow exceeds fifteen centimeters.

The length of the entire crossbow exceeds three meters, and the length of the blades on both sides of the huge crossbow arrow in front exceeds fifty centimeters.

Even this lucky ship only has six such crossbow arrows.

It took four or five people to carry the crossbow arrows and put them on the crossbow machine.

After winding up the water wheel, the range is about 600 meters.

At that time, these craftsmen tried several wooden boxes on the beach. Basically, when a crossbow passed over, the wooden boxes were blown into pieces.

According to their estimation, even if this lucky ship was hit by such a crossbow, there would be a big hole.

Not to mention other ships.

The craftsman said with some regret: "The main reason is that after the water wheel is launched, it will affect the forward speed. Otherwise, we really want to equip a few more crossbows like this."

Yan Kai looked at the entire Fu Ship and knew that his phobia of lack of firepower must be hereditary!

"Then get into the water!" Yan Kai shouted.

Whether it works or not, you still have to go into the water and see!

"Launch!" These shipbuilders were also excited. They had been building for several months, weren't they just waiting for this day?

Then the side connected to the seawater was dug out, and the seawater poured in, pouring into the bottom of the Fuchuan.

The whole boat gradually floated up.

Today's wind also cooperated. When Yan Kai and the others climbed onto the boat along the rope ladder, the sail dropped and then inflated instantly.

The entire fortune ship shook slightly, and then began to move slowly.

"Uh-oh-oh!"

Cheng Huailiang and Zhou Tong howled like monkeys on it.

If Yan Kai hadn't been watching, the two of them would have started to experiment with the power of the crossbow.

Soon, this lucky ship sailed into the Bohai Sea.

"Come on a name!" When Li Anyan said this, he didn't look at Yankai, but his heart twitched slightly.

To this day, everyone still remembers the scene when Yan Kai named the chariot Big Car.

He is a genius at naming.

Sure enough, although Li Anyan didn't look at Yan Kai, Yan Kai himself shouted loudly.

"Pippi Shrimp, this ship must be called Pipi Shrimp!"

This is his obsession. He also voted for Pipi Xia back then.

Li Anyan's face turned pale, he was here, he was indeed here.

It’s weird enough that the crossbows on this ship are called conspicuous crossbows, but now they have to give the ship a name like this!

He knows exactly what Pipi Shrimp is.

The salt and pepper flavored ones made by Li Dazui are particularly delicious.

But it’s delicious. Isn’t it too childish to use it as the name of your own flagship?

At that time, history books recorded that in a certain year of Zhenguan, the famous general Li Anyan sank more than ten Fuso battleships in the East China Sea on the Pipi Xia. Where did he put his face?

Just when Li Anyan was about to object, Yan Kai looked at him pitifully and said, "That's the name."

"As long as you call me this name, within ten years, within ten years, I will get you an all-steel steel battleship!"

"Gudong." Li Anyan's throat moved.

Steel battleship?

Can steel be used to make warships?

Others said he definitely didn't believe it, but he somewhat believed what Yan Kai said.

"really?"

"Really!" Yan Kai nodded.

"Then..." Li Anyan took a deep breath: "Okay."

Then I thought about it, if I really sank more than ten enemy ships as I thought at first, how would the other party's history books record it?

In xxx, more than ten battleships were sunk by the Datang Pipixia in the East China Sea!

Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept!

At this time, Cheng Huailiang, who climbed up to the observation deck, shouted loudly with a telescope:

"Several warships spotted ahead!"

"East, coming towards us!"
