Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

The psychological problems are more complicated, which require some navigation experience to solve. Of course, Ning Fan believes that with Qin Ying's wisdom, he will definitely be able to find a good way to solve these problems.

"Ocean voyage is not a matter of one ship. When the time comes, it will definitely be a fleet. In short, the configuration must be complete. If it is not possible, I suggest you prepare a few more ships and plant some vegetables on the deck. In this way, your food will not be too simple when sailing across the ocean."

Ning Fan suggested to Qin Ying.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of our ocean voyage? Are we just walking aimlessly on the ocean? And I don't know if the ocean has any edge. If the ocean is full of water, we will find it when the time comes. What should I do if I can’t find my way back?”

Qin Ying was originally passionate about sailing on the ocean, but at this moment he was at a loss.

Because humans in this era have never conducted ocean voyages and have no real experience in ocean voyages.

"Don't worry, this sea is not an endless sea. There is also land on the other side. Just like us in Dakang, there are civilizations and humans there. It's just that the humans there may look a little different from us in Dakang. They Their language, customs, culture and food are even different from ours, these are the important purposes of our ocean voyage."

Ning Fan reached out and patted Qin Ying on the shoulder. He felt that organizing an ocean voyage would not be something that could be solved in an instant. It would take at least half a year to prepare, not to mention that the shipyard had just been built and it was necessary to build an ocean fleet. , it also takes a certain amount of time.

In this crisis, Ning Fan only has one idea now, which is to wipe out this group of bandits at sea as soon as possible and solve the biggest threat to the shipyard.

Only when there is no threat to the shipyard, can Ning Fan return to Kyoto with peace of mind.

The ship was sailing on the sea, and Ning Fan was also resting in the cabin below the deck. In this era, the design of wooden ships did not fully consider the comfort of the crew.

The cabin is narrow, relatively dark, and airtight. People in the cabin will feel extremely stuffy.

There was no other way, so Ning Fan came to the deck again. He suddenly thought of a fun project, which was sea fishing. In this era, there were no high-end fishing rods or carbon rods.

But this was not a problem for Ning Fan. After all, there were craftsmen accompanying him on the boat. Ning Fan quickly described the rough shapes and sizes of the sea poles and hooks used for sea fishing. Within half an hour, Ning Fan Everything is ready.

"Your Majesty, in this vast sea, can you really catch fish with only one fishhook?"

Not only Qin Ying had doubts in her heart, but even the other crew members had shocked expressions on their faces.

In this era, people were accustomed to fishing with nets and rarely fished with hooks, especially fishing in the vast sea. This was even more impossible in the eyes of the crew.

In fact, they didn't know that Ning Fan was a fishing enthusiast before time travel. Whenever he was on vacation, Ning Fan would fish for three days and three nights. Ning Fan had a unique experience in fishing, so he asked the chef to bring it Ning Fan picked up a chicken and cut it into fist-sized pieces. After hanging the pieces on the fishhook, Ning Fan started.

The fishhook thrown into the sea did not react at first, but soon, the thick fishing line suddenly collapsed. Ning Fan knew that a fish had taken the bait. Under the shocked eyes of the people around him, Ning Fan Together with three crew members, they pulled up a sea fish weighing more than thirty kilograms.

"This vast sea is full of unpolluted fish. This is a natural granary. After I go back this time, I will also study the manufacturing technology of fishing nets. If I can make a big net, two boats can The fishing boats jointly pull a net to catch fish in the sea, and it is probably not difficult to catch thousands of kilograms of fish at a time."

Ning Fan took the fish off the hook and told Qin Ying his future ideals.

In the evening, the ship docked and Ning Fan successfully returned to the shore. The market situation of the day made Ning Fan full of emotions.

The first is the performance and other qualities of the Tianlong. After a comprehensive evaluation, Ning Fan feels that there is room for improvement on the Tianlong.

There is another conclusion, that is, the Tianlong is actually not big enough, and it is still very bumpy when encountering wind and waves at sea. In addition to the need to modify the cabin, Ning Fan actually wants to add a power mechanism to the ship. .

If the ship carries enough coal and a steam engine is installed on the ship, then the ship can be driven by a propeller. There is no need to wait for the wind to come on the sea, because once the wind direction on the sea is wrong, the ship will only be able to move forward. Can rely on waiting.

But if you take the initiative to install paddles on the ship, and then add a steam turbine, then the entire ship will have power. Even when there is no wind on the sea, the ship can still move forward at high speed.

And if a ship has power, it is equivalent to having legs on the sea. The crew can freely control the ship and avoid various collisions and various obstacles encountered during navigation at sea. , so that the safety factor can be greatly improved.

Ning Fan had come across steam turbine information before traveling through time. He was confident that if the material was hard enough and strong enough, it would not be a big problem for Ning Fan to replicate a steam turbine.

Three days later was the most suitable day for sailing. On this day, Ning Fan, Qin Ying, three thousand soldiers, Wang Hai and others boarded the Tianlong.

"Your Majesty, this trip to the sea to suppress bandits is very dangerous, so you'd better not go with us, right?"

After Ning Fan boarded the Tianlong, he was immediately rejected by Qin Ying, because Qin Ying did not want the well-off emperor to follow him and put himself in danger.

Although the pirates on the sea are not that strong, people will inevitably encounter various dangers when sailing on the sea, and Ning Fan, as the emperor of Dakang, naturally should not face dangers at sea.

"I have great confidence in this Tianlong. On this big ship, I believe that there will be no danger on the sea like walking on flat ground."

Ning Fan smiled lightly.

Seeing Ning Fan insisting on going to sea to suppress bandits, Qin Ying could no longer insist on anything.

While Ning Fan was patrolling on the deck, he suddenly thought of another thing, that is, how can this big ship land on the island?

This large ship cannot get too close to the enemy's coast, because once it gets too close to the coast, it will easily run aground.
