Three days later, in the base port, a medium-sized ship about twenty-five meters long and seven meters wide was moored in the sea.

Nangong Yu looked at the behemoth in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Marco commanded a large number of workers to put the finishing touches on the work, for three days, Marco hardly rested, a slightly pale face, densely covered with beads of sweat, working for a long time, it was an extremely tiring thing, and at this time Marco did not have any unhappiness, on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much.

Finally, amid a burst of cheers, the sailboat was completed.

Squinting slightly, looking at Marco on the deck, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, and shouted loudly: "Marco, take a break, I asked someone to prepare your favorite seafood pizza and rum, let's go, go have a drink." ”

Hearing this, Marco wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly got off the boat and came to Nangong Yu, and said, "Don't be busy first, let's go, I'll take you to see our baby boat." I can assure you that even if the Venetian national fleet comes, it will not be able to find a sailing ship of such good performance. ”

After speaking, he pulled Nangong Yu to board the ship again, and said excitedly: "Look, this ship has a total of three masts, a standard three-masted sailing ship, in order to adapt to sea navigation, I made my own opinion, and did not design the sail, but all changed to a spinnaker." ”

Nangong Yu looked in the direction of Marco's finger, and there were three towering masts standing on the deck, the middle one was slightly higher, and the two ends were slightly shorter, and at this time the sails were all wrapped around the masts.

Marco's idea was more advanced, and now many sailors will hang sails, so that in the case of a tailwind, the speed of the ship will be significantly improved, but in the face of a headwind, it will reduce the stability and speed of the sailboat.

Marco changed all the sails to spinnakers, which made the boat slightly slower downwind, but upwind significantly more stable. And considering that the ship was to be used as a combat ship, there was nothing wrong with such a trade-off.

Marco continued: "According to your requirements, this sailing ship must be strong as a flagship, so I used all the iron plates that Jim had brought and embedded them in the bottom of the boat, and only needed to regularly clean the bottom of the ship for attachments to ensure that the ship did not have to worry about maggots." ”

"In addition, I have built a small stern building at the stern of the ship, so that our soldiers and sailors can usually live in the cabin, and when they enter the enemy's waters, they can enter the aft building, so that they can be dispatched at any time. Don't underestimate the aft building, which not only can it be loaded with more things, but it also makes the boat more stable. ”

"Also, I designed two rows of gun ports in the cabin below deck, but time is tight, and we haven't gotten the guns yet, otherwise we would have been more combative with the guns. ”

Seeing that Marco still had the ** to continue talking, Nangong Yu touched his forehead, reached out to stop Marco's mouth, dragged him off the boat, brought him to the table, and pressed him to the seat, Anna covered her mouth and smiled, hurriedly poured a glass of rum, and pushed it in front of Marco.

Massimo laughed and said, "Marco, why are you so excited to build a sailboat?"

Marco looked at the crowd around the table, smiled, and said: "Mr. Massimo, my goal is similar to yours, you like swordsmanship, I like shipbuilding, everything else doesn't matter, now, this sailboat has been completed, and you, will sail the sailboat to the Black Sea, hehe, isn't it worth the excitement?"

With that, he drank the rum in front of him in one gulp, and then gave a long burp.

Massimo raised his glass and said, "Marco, I appreciate your attitude, come, drink one." With that, he picked up his glass in the air, raised it to Marco, tilted his head, and drank the wine from the glass.

The expedition is imminent, but everyone who is doing it was infected by Marco's excitement, and they picked up the wine glasses on the table, one is to congratulate Marco on finally completing the manufacture of the flagship, and the other is to practice for Nangong Yu, wishing the expedition a smooth one, which is equivalent to a drinking party of his own, but this time it is more sincere than the previous drinking party in Venice.

Slowly rubbing his fingers against his wine glass on the table, Nangong Yu exhaled lightly, was slightly silent, and suddenly a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "This time, thanks to Marco." ”

"Hehe, boss, why did you suddenly become sentimental? This is not like you. Nangong Yu's soft voice made Marco stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with a little emotion.

"You have paid so much for us, and I, as the 'boss', naturally need to be remembered. Nangong Yu smiled hoarsely in his voice: "Don't worry, Marco, I won't let the name of this ship sink in the sea." ”

Marco said: "Boss, I believe in you, with you, no matter what kind of difficulties will not stump us, this time, Anna and I will stay in the base to help you look after the house, you can rest assured to go." ”

Anna's eyes stayed on Nangong Yu's body, her eyes were burning, but with some worries, she thought about it and suddenly said: "By the way, this flagship doesn't seem to have a name yet, Marco, you built the ship, give him a name." ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago, since it's the flagship of Nangong Yu, and our previous fleet is called the 'Yu' fleet, let's call it 'Nangong Yu', so let's name it. Marco said.

Massimo said, "Nangong Yu? I think it's okay." ”

The others nodded in agreement.

"Now that the flagship has been built and the wine has been drunk, don't delay any longer, Villanueva is still waiting for us on the Black Sea, and now I don't know what the situation is over there, pack up, and we're ready to go." Nangong Yu exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice. "Anna, Marco, I'll leave it to you. ”

When the two of them heard Nangong Yu's words, they both sat up straight and nodded.

At this moment, there seemed to be movement outside the door, and after a while, a figure walked in quickly, his face full of nervousness.

"Mr. Nangong, Alger is in danger. Before he could enter, an anxious voice came, and the owner of the voice was Rosa.

Massimo hurriedly got up, got out of the way, and motioned for Rosa to sit there.

Nangong Yu said: "Don't worry, say it slowly." ”

Rosa put herself in her chair and said, "It is the case that I have detected Villanueva's fleet, which is lurking at the mouth of the Black Sea. I have sent someone to report this news to Alger, but he will not listen, and judging by the course of the fleet, they still insist on entering the Black Sea. In that sea, it is impossible for Alger's fleet to come out of the encirclement of Villanueva, so I have to come back and tell you the news. ”

Nangong Yu heard, "Sure enough, I believe that the Ottoman Empire has not made any moves, and will even set up another encirclement at the mouth of the sea, with the purpose of annihilating the Venetian national fleet." ”。

Rosa said, "It should be like this, Mr. Nangong, what should we do?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, waved his big hand, and said, "The whole army boarded the ship, the target was the Black Sea, and set off!"
