A dozen bulls pulled the winch at the same time, and the huge gate slowly opened.
As the gates opened, the crowd roared with loud cheers.
September is the flood season for the Yangtze River, and the turbid water rushes into the dock.
As the water level increased, the ship, which was more than twenty feet high, seemed to come alive in an instant.
The water slowly floated the huge hull, and the huge boat began to rock from side to side, as if it was trying to break free from some kind of restraint.
Finally, the entire hull was lifted by the water.
With the sound of a whistle, the turbid water rolled inside the dock.
The thick chimney began to smoke, and the water surface began to shake.
The huge battleship slowly sailed out of the dock.
Lao Gao's face was filled with tears.
Being able to build such a battleship in this life is enough to make history glorious.
He even considered retiring from this moment on.
Be able to retreat bravely at the peak moment, so that your image will always be glorious and tall.
However, seeing Yunhao with a calm face, Lao Gao quickly gave up the idea.
He also thought about building a giant ship out of steel in his lifetime.
Xiao Gao searched for possible leaks like a mouse on the bottom of the boat.
The bottom of the boat was now crowded with people.
Everyone held a candle in their hands to see if there was any leakage.
There are also people standing guard next to the trough made of raw hemp and plant ash cement.
Whenever they see a leak, they immediately go to fill it.
I have to say, the boat is very well built.
The reputation of the Gao family and his son was so strong that hundreds of people searched back and forth for several hours but couldn't find any water leakage.
"Drive into the Yangtze River and try it."
Yunhao was still a little worried.
Inside the cofferdam of the shipyard, there was still no wind or waves.
If it doesn't work in the Yangtze River, you won't be able to find the grave even if you go to the sea.
The whistle sounded, and the giant ship slowly sailed into the Yangtze River along the dug channel.
The huge hull suddenly blocked half of the channel, and all the ships moved closer to the shore.
No one knew what this smoking behemoth in front of them was.
Although they didn't know what the ship was for, they had a consensus.
If you collide with this boat, you will definitely be crushed into the bottom of the river by the huge hull.
"Is there something wrong with the bottom of the boat?"
Lao Gao was extremely nervous.
The sound of the waves hitting the side of the boat sounded to him like beating a giant drum.
Lao Gao is very afraid of water seepage, although water seepage from such a big ship is nothing.
Moreover, watertight cabins are used between the hatches.
The sides of the watertight cabin doors are inlaid with thick rubber to ensure that no water leaks after closing.
However, this is related to the reputation of the Gao family, and Lao Gao is very afraid of ruining his golden brand.
This is the destiny of our descendants After a while, a low-pitched voice came from the microphone.
"The bottom of the boat is fine, there is no water seepage."
Yunhao doesn't think that these two men are full of food.
The shipbuilding industry is still in a very primitive state in this era.
This is the first time in history that a large ship worth 100,000 materials has appeared.
Relying on the knowledge in his mind, he forcibly improved the technological status of Datang.
However, many basic industries cannot yet support such technology.

For example, Yunhao knew how to make firearms, but the industrial level of the Tang Dynasty could not produce even the most primitive flintlock gun.
Industry is a systematic thing, and this huge system is established.
In just a few decades, don’t even think about it.
Building such a ship was already the limit of Datang's industrial system.
"The Duke of Chu has such a huge ship, so why worry about Zhang Zhongjian's immortality?
I wonder what the Duke of Chu would give this ship a name."
Xu Jingzong sat on the deck.
The ship sailed on the Yangtze River very steadily.
It is almost the same as on land.
Xu Jingzong believes that this kind of battleship is almost invincible.
"His Majesty has given the names of the ships.
One is called Zhenhai and the other is called Dinghai.
Before there are no candidates, Li Wenzhong and I will be the captains of the two ships respectively.
The Zhenhai ship will be parked here first.
It will be okay to launch the Dinghai ship tomorrow.
Let's go directly Go out to sea and see” "Waiting for Li Wenzhong and others" "Counting the days, Li Wenzhong has entered the Yangtze River Estuary.
Let's go down the river and we should be able to meet him."
Yun Hao sighed helplessly.
Zhang Zhongjian didn't stop.
In just over a month, he had robbed continuously.
Several towns along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang.
This stupid bastard burned, killed and looted everywhere he went.
He actually scalded the child with boiling water and listened to the child's cries for fun.
The newborn baby was still crying and was thrown to the mastiff.
This is not something done by humans.
I admire Li Jing very much.
If it hadn't been for the circumcision in the Yun family, Li Jing's end today would have been extremely miserable.
The outfitting, which was originally planned to take three months, can now only be shortened to one and a half months.
The rest can only be assembled while sailing.
The launch of the Dinghai was as smooth as the Zhenhai.
This was the best news Yunhao had ever heard.
Two behemoths dragged black smoke down the Yangtze River.
Huge warships filled the entire channel.
The passing ships were all amazed.
When they learned that this was Datang's latest warship, the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait couldn't help but cheer.
The beards on the passing ships were all dumbfounded.
When dealing with the Tang people, they were extremely humble.
Before reaching the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yunhao was waiting for Li Wenzhong who had arrived.
After receiving Yun Hao's order, Li Wenzhong hurried to the Jiangnan Shipyard in order to see what the legendary giant ship looked like.
Despite adequate psychological preparation, Li Wenzhong was still shocked.
The warship as high as a mountain forced him to look up.
The huge feeling of oppression made him even have the urge to escape.
Climbing up the rope ladder to the deck, Li Wenzhong touched here and looked there.
Everything was fresh.
Behind him stood a tall and thin young man.

His face was dark and he stood on the deck with his legs spread wide apart.
Yunhao estimated that the toes on the two feet inside the official boots must be trying to open up.
This is the aftereffect of living on a boat all year round "Commander, this is our new ship, my dear, it's so big."
Li Wenzhong was so excited that his nose glowed red.
His hands were caressing the railing as if caressing the woman's buttocks.
My mouth is almost drooling, I'm so sick.
"Wipe your saliva, we will have more and more ships like this in the future.
According to His Majesty's wishes, at least ten ships must be built.
From now on, the sea will belong to our Tang Dynasty."
"Haha, Marshal, with a ship like this, brothers can sail the ship to the horizon.
But where are the sails of this ship, Marshal?"
Li Wenzhong heard that ten warships would be put into service one after another, and his excitement slowed down a little.
If there is too much of something, it will become strange.
Now he is a little lucky that Yunhao got him into the navy.
He is the biggest in the entire sea.
What he said was of course, this was when Yunhao was not at sea.
Look at the colleagues in Chang'an City, all of them are living extremely miserable lives.
There is a group of old immortals pressing down above, and there are a large number of young people below who want to take the lead.
It was a fight on both sides, and the civil servants stared at each other all day long looking for faults.
If the matter is too big, impeachment will be carried out.
If the emperor doesn't like it, the ship may capsize.
The wealth and honor gained by licking the blood with the knife tip flew away in an instant.
There were some complaints before, but now he wants to transfer Li Wenzhong back to Chang'an, but Li Wenzhong refuses.
"How can it be done without a sail?
Do we have to use oars?"
Before Li Wenzhong could speak, the young man behind him said in surprise.
Li Wenzhong raised his hand and slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the commander-in-chief?
If the commander-in-chief says there is no need for sails, then he doesn't need sails.
How can you interrupt here?"
The young officer was slapped on the face, but his feet did not move at all.
His body stood like a nail, his eyes full of rebelliousness.
In his mind, a ship without sails is nothing.
You can still walk in the river if you follow the current, but you are a living target in the sea.
This commander is good at everything, but he is too young and doesn't know how to fight.
"You're right, my boat is really made of oars."
Yunhao looked at the young man and said with a smile.
"Oh, why didn't I see him rowing?"
Li Wenzhong leaned on the side of the boat and looked down.
Yunhao was very afraid that his naval commander would fall into the Yangtze River.
It's more than ten feet above the water.
If you hit the water at this height, it's no different than if you hit it on the concrete floor.
He pulled Li Wenzhong back, kicked him on the butt and said, "The propeller is underwater.
If you want to see it, you can dive under the water.
However, anyone who is lucky enough to see it will die ugly.
The huge power of the propeller can Easily cut a person in half."

"Propeller" Although Li Wenzhong didn't know what a propeller was, he felt that the boat was not slow at all.
The speed is faster than hanging half a sail by yourself.
There are so many ships in the Yangtze River, who the hell would have enough time to put up all the sails.
"This is a brand new power.
Xiao Gao will take you around the ship in a while.
This will be your ship from now on, and it is necessary to understand the performance and structure of the warship.
Let your soldiers and generals come up and follow the ship as soon as possible.
We will study.
In half a month, we will face Zhang Zhongjian.
Time is very tight."
As soon as Yunhao finished speaking, Xiao Gao jumped off the bridge with a smile.
"Where did this kid come from?"
Yunhao glanced at the young man behind Li Wenzhong.
If he could bring Li Wenzhong to him, he must be a confidant.
"Liu Rengui, a humble official, meets the commander-in-chief."
Seeing Yun Hao ask himself, before Li Wenzhong said anything, Liu Rengui knelt down on the ground and paid homage to Yun Hao.
"Commander, this is one of my capable captains.
He is from the Wei family in Bianzhou, and his ancestors are from the royal family of the Han Dynasty."
"You are still a member of the former royal family.
Now I can endure the hardships of being at sea by following you."
Yunhao looked Liu Rengui up and down, but he didn't expect to meet a Han royal family here.
This guy was only in his twenties when he was exhausted, and his black eyes were shiny.
I have heard it said before that the eyes of purebred Han Chinese are pure black.
Especially the pupils are all black.
However, these days, the Han people who have become Han Chinese and the Han people who have become Han people are running rampant all over the world.
The eyes of these people are somewhat brown.
It seems that this descendant of the Han royal family is very likely to be real.
"This boy used to be a captain of Chencang County.
He beat Captain Zhechong to death with a cane.
He was sentenced to Hebei Province.
It happened that there was a shortage of people under his command.
He was recruited on the ship, not to mention that a landlubber could flop in the water after a few strokes.
He was a small soldier.
After years of hard work, I have been promoted to the rank of captain.
I see that this boy is literate, so I would like to bring it to you to remind him.
This is his destiny."
"How old is Chencang County Wei?"
Yunhao looked at Liu Rengui's face in a daze.
His current age is a bit too young for Chencang County Wei, not to mention that he has been working with Li Wenzhong for several years.
"Commander, four of my subordinates are thirty this year."
Liu Rengui, who was kneeling on the ground, replied.
Damn, there are really some people who don’t look old.
If this guy is in future generations, I’m afraid he will be another Jimmy Lin.
However, he is more like the African version of Jimmy Lin.
Li Wenzhong seemed to be telling the truth when he said that he had achieved the rank of captain through many meritorious service at sea.

"It's not easy to get Li Wenzhong to recommend you, so just follow me.
Since you can read, then stay on the Zhenhai and join the army as a clerk."
These days, there are not many people who can read and write.
The academy only graduates two to three hundred people a year, and it is now the target of a frenzy of grabs from both the Tang Dynasty officials and the private sector.
I heard that there are beauty traps out there.
I heard from a letter from a fisherman that more than 3,000 people have signed up for the school this year.
The academy has already had to conduct entrance exams to try to select those children with some basic skills.
"Commander Nuoxie" heard that Yunhao was leaving him behind, and he immediately offered to join the army.
Liu Rengui was so excited that he almost jumped up.
The commander was right.
As this man has meat to eat, it seems that from now on he will call this man who is much younger than himself handsome.
Liu Rengui is very curious about how he climbed to a high position at such a young age.
However, compared to Yunhao, Liu Rengui was more curious about this ship without sails.
As for the propeller Yunhao said, he didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.
I have been on the water for several years, but I have never heard of propellers.
Liu Rengui believed that Yunhao was deceiving others, showing off the superior IQ.
"Look carefully and study hard.
This will be your future in the future, and you should also go and have a look.
How can you be a captain who doesn't understand the ship?
Let those guys under you clean up and come up.
Talk to the master workers, Don't open your fucking mouth.
Let me hear it and tear his mouth apart."
Yunhao pointed at Li Wenzhong who was groping around.
"I promise, please remember the commander's instructions," Li Wenzhong said with a bow.
On the face facing the deck, the mouth is turned to the back of the head.
I don’t know who always talks about my mother and I, and what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers.
This is really true, the gang of bastards under my command.
The first is that he can steal, and the second is that he is wild, more like a pirate than a navy.
There is no risk of life in fighting, and when they get to the shore, they swarm to prostitute the women.
He kept swearing, and he relied on these bastards to force Gao Li Pianfan not to go to the sea.
Soon, groups of naval officers and soldiers climbed up the rope ladder.
Yunhao looked at the crowd, which was as dense as ants.
This is the future Datang Navy:
