"Wow~"

As soon as they approached, there were still a hundred feet away, and Lun Zhi and Bei Yan couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so big! It's really big! (Filthy gods, pay attention to safety, don't overturn ~~~)

Gongsun Du and the others seemed to have expected it, and their faces did not change at all.

The Great Elder exclaimed: "When I look at it from a distance, I already feel it, and I think it won't be small, but when I get closer, I realize that I still think it's bad, not only will it not be small, it's just ......."

As he spoke, he got a few feet closer and saw more clearly, and the Great Elder said firmly and admiringly: "Big, unimaginably big!" It can be called the first ship in the world! ”

No one answered, just getting closer.

The Great Elder and the others didn't care, and their attention was all focused on the battleship that was already close at hand.

"Lord!"

Gongsun Du nodded at the soldiers waiting at the dock, then looked at the Great Elder and the others, and said, "Everyone, go up and have a look?" ”

"Your Excellency, please!" The eagerness in the Great Elder's eyes was overflowing, and he nodded, but replied without being rude.

Gongsun Du was not polite, nodded, and took the lead in stepping on the springboard to the boat. Huang Qing followed half a step behind, and then it was the turn of the Great Elder and the others, and finally Cheng Pu and Yang Yi together.

After getting on the boat, Gongsun Du went straight to the bow of the boat. Whether it is a new ship or an old ship, every time Gongsun Du gets on the ship, he will first go to the bow to take a look, and no one knows why.

Huang Qing also knew this in the past two days, and at first thought that he would not disturb the training of the navy, but now it seems that ......

Wrong! Miss by a mile!

The Grand Elder first glanced at the flat deck, then stomped his feet hard.

Bang bang~

Listening to the crisp and empty voice, the Great Elder nodded, not having the slightest feeling of nodding too much today.

"Great Elder, this wood is well handled, and it is the most suitable for shipbuilding pine, cypress, camphor and other woods, and the year is not small, and regardless of the ship itself, at least these woods are excellent." The second elder opened his mouth and said.

The Great Elder nodded, the Second Elder was the most knowledgeable person in all the people who knew how to build ships, and he was not much worse. After taking a closer look on the deck, the Great Elder saw Gongsun Du standing at the bow of the ship, and walked over with his feet raised, but was stopped halfway through.

"The lord has already instructed that if the Great Elder likes it, he can go to other places on the ship to take a look, anywhere."

The Great Elder was slightly stunned, then took a deep look at Gongsun Du, who was standing in the wind, and then nodded again. Immediately, he turned to the cabin.

"Well, this cabin is also very well done, and the outside is wrapped in cowhide with excellent defense, which cannot be broken unless it is a bed crossbow or a stone throw."

"Well, this window is the right size and position, whether it is to transmit light or use it as an attack, it is excellent!"

"Huh? This step...... Awesome! The location is just right, not to mention the soldiers who will not affect the battle when walking, and naturally have excellent defense, and the possibility of being attacked is extremely low. ”

……

Every time the second elder walked to a place, he would keep saying his opinion, so a group of elders, Beiyan, and Lunzhi all gathered around him. It's like a tour guide, leading a group of people who eat melons to visit something rare.

In the middle of the move, everyone came to the bottom warehouse.

"Huh? What is it? ”

The second elder tugged at the gray beard on his chin and stared at a strange-shaped object, frowning.

"Decoration?"

"No way, the warship doesn't need decoration!"

"Stable?"

"That's not right, two stones work well."

"That ......"

The second elder thought about it a lot, but he didn't feel right. Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't speak!" ”

The Great Elder and the others were taken aback, but looking at the serious face of the Second Elder, they still subconsciously closed their mouths.

"Huh? This is? ”

"The sound of water?" The second elder was a little unsure, because it was too normal for there to be the sound of water on the sea.

The Second Elder hesitated for a moment and put his ear up. But in an instant, his face was full of surprise: "It's really the sound of water!" ”

That's one of the driving forces of a wheeled battleship, a bit like the pedals of a bicycle, but the difference is quite large. In fact, Gongsun Du forgot that if he had asked someone to act as a commentator, such a thing would not have happened.

The second elder seemed to have a guess, stepped on it with his foot, and then exclaimed, "It turned out to be used to step on, is it used as a drive?" No one was making a sound, but he could clearly hear the sound of water coming from the bottom of the boat.

The sailor soldiers who followed not far away just glanced at it and ignored it. Because this thing may not be very good, the key is to be solid and durable, otherwise it will be broken by frequent stepping, which is too bad.

At this time, the Great Elder interjected, "You mean this is the power used to make the boat walk?" ”

"That's right!" The Second Elder nodded and said, "This should be similar to the principle of the waterwheel, but in reverse. ”

"I just don't know who has such a whimsical idea and uses it on a ship, so that it is not more flexible, moving forward when you want to go forward and going backward when you want to retreat? The most important thing is that you can walk very fast even when there is no wind. The second elder glanced at the bottom of the warehouse, which was almost covered with the same things under his feet, and said with certainty.

"That's amazing!" When Bei Yan heard this, he exclaimed directly. In addition to archery, he is also very good at water, and he knows a lot about ships.

Lun Zhi also nodded busily, and then got on his feet and prepared to step on it.

"Wait, guys!"

Everyone immediately stopped, and saw that it was a soldier who had been following them before, but had never approached or moved away.

The soldier said a little nervously: "This can't be stepped on casually, if it's one person, it's fine, if there are too many people, the boat will have to move." ”

The Great Elder and the others suddenly realized that it was okay for the boat to move outward, but if it went inside, it would not be good, and it might crash into the ship if it hit the dock. But no one gave up, but took turns to step on it and feel it.

……

"Have you seen it all?"

After the Great Elder and the others finished shopping, they came to the deck, and Gongsun Du had blown enough of the sea breeze, so he greeted him.

"Hmm. Your lord's warship is truly extraordinary! The Great Elder replied.

Gongsun Du gestured to Cheng Pu, and then Cheng Pu introduced-

"The name of this ship is Feiyu, it belongs to the wheel warship, the length of the ship is eighteen zhang eight feet, the width is one zhang six feet and six inches, and there are three layers of ......."

Cheng Pu's series of introductions, hearing the Great Elder and the others were a little stunned, feeling that everything they had just seen was constantly playing back in front of them, and they couldn't help but sigh again in their hearts: This ship is really big enough! The word battleship is even more vividly embodied!

At this time, Cheng Pu smashed another sentence, which made the Great Elder and the others even more ups and downs.

"This battleship is not the first class in the navy!"

Bei Yan and Lun Zhi were young and couldn't hide their words, so they immediately exclaimed: "What? This is not considered the first class, so what kind of battleship is counted? ”

Cheng Pu didn't speak, but reached out and pointed in the direction behind them.

The Great Elder originally wanted to say something, but after being robbed of words by Bei Yan and Lun Zhi, he couldn't say anything more, but when he looked back, his mouth couldn't help but open the boss.

"This ...... This...... This ......"

The Great Elder instantly turned into a stutter. Not only him, but also the others in Sanshan are the same.

"The name of this ship is Youyun, a battleship with several wheels, twenty-one zhang long, two zhang wide and three feet three inches......"
