Chapter 470: The Giant Ship Launches
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's confident words, and his heart suddenly became arrogant, and then he said:
"Left and right, the king will order that the steamship will be launched immediately for testing!"
As Zhu Hao's words fell, he followed left and right, and immediately shouted:
"His Royal Highness the Messenger King will order that the steamship be launched immediately for testing!"
With a louder herald, Zhu Hao looked up at the behemoth and said to Lu Ban:
"Let's go, Lord Gongyi, this king will board the ship with you and go into the water for testing!"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words, and was suddenly shocked, although he was very confident in the steam ship he invented, he didn't dare to let Zhu Hao take the risk himself.
Because if something happens and Zhu Hao, the prince, is in danger, it is not something that he, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can bear.
Moreover, because Lu Ban still has twenty points of loyalty to Zhu Hao, because of this hidden thing, Lu Ban is unwilling to let Zhu Hao be in danger from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, after Zhu Hao's words were finished, Lu Ban opened his mouth and refused:
"Your Highness, this matter must not be allowed!"
"You are a noble body, if something happens, Weichen will die in vain and it will be difficult to atone for his sins!"
"Please also ask the prince to take back his order and observe it on the shore!"
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's words, frowned slightly, and said:
"How?"
"Don't you have any confidence in your own invention?"
As the originator of craftsmen, Lu Ban has his own arrogance, so when Zhu Hao said that Lu Ban had no confidence in his own invention, Lu Ban subconsciously said proudly:
"Of course not!"
"Wechen has full confidence in his own invention!"
Lu Ban said this, and then he reacted, Zhu Hao just said to him the intention of this sentence, and immediately continued to speak:
"Just ......"
Zhu Hao didn't give Lu Ban a chance to speak, and directly interrupted Lu Ban's words:
"In that case, don't do it!"
"This king has full confidence in your invention, don't stand still, follow this king on board!"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words, shook his head helplessly and sighed, and then followed behind Zhu Hao, who was already walking towards the steamboat, and walked towards the steamboat.
When Zhu Hao really boarded this giant ship, he realized how long this giant ship was, and there were more than 500 steps on the ladder to board the ship alone.
After Zhu Hao boarded this huge ship, he had the appearance of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking here, looking there, there was no trace of the majesty of the superior in his eyes, all of them were curious and excited.
Lu Ban, who followed Zhu Hao to board the ship, kept following Zhu Hao, for fear that Zhu Hao would be in any danger.
Zhu Hao turned around and saw Lu Ban with a nervous face, and couldn't help but laugh a little:
"Lord Gongyi, this king is not porcelain, and it will not be broken when touched!"
"Go and get ready to sail!"
"I'm looking forward to your machine that doesn't need any fuel to run!"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words, glanced at Zhu Hao deeply, his eyes were still full of worry, Zhu Hao saw this, and said again:
"Okay, don't look at this king, go and prepare!"
"It's an order!"
Zhu Hao's last sentence came out, his voice was much more serious, Lu Ban heard Zhu Hao say this, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, turned around and thought about the operation room.
With Lu Ban in place, the flags of various positions on the ship were spreading, and with the efforts of tens of thousands of slender men, the huge ship slowly headed towards the sea.
With the neat sound of the slender men's horns, the giant ship was finally pushed into the sea, and at this time, Zhu Hao's heart was carried up.
Because Zhu Hao knows that the first step in launching the water is to check whether the cabin can withstand pressure and does not leak, which is also the most critical step for this giant ship to start at this moment.
However, it turns out that Luban's products must be high-quality, and after some rigorous inspection, the giant ship performed well in all aspects, and there was no leakage.
At this time, Lu Ban also walked out of the operation room with an excited face and said to Zhu Hao:
"Your Highness, fortunately, everything is normal with the steamship!"
"This ship has no name, please give it a name to Your Highness!"
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's words, and his heart was also very excited, and he said:
"Well, the name of this king has come up with one, but you let it go around first, and then go to Taiwan!"
"When I come back from the return trip, this king will officially name it!"
Lu Ban heard Zhu Hao say this, and knew in his heart that he was a little anxious, so he bowed to Zhu Hao, and then reflexively returned to the operation room again.
With a loud roar, the giant ship moved slowly, Zhu Hao watched the giant ship start, and almost jumped up and cheered to celebrate the success of the giant ship, but he still didn't do it because of his identity.
The reason why Zhu Hao is so excited is because of two points, the first is the emergence of a perpetual motion machine, and the second is also a key point, that is, this giant ship represents the sea power of the Ming Dynasty.
With its existence, Zhu Hao believes that no one will dare to go wild in the sea area of Daming.
When Zhu Hao thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the Japanese who had been causing trouble in the Daming Sea in recent decades, and the hatred in Zhu Hao's heart was more than anyone else.
Zhu Hao knew very well in his heart that as early as the Tang Dynasty, that island country was just a vassal state of Middle Earth.
The reason for the surrender of this island country is only because there is the warlike blood of ethnic minorities in the bones of the Tang royal family.
On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty has always been a gentle policy towards overseas countries, which has made this island country covet Middle-earth in the past 100 years.
In fact, Zhu Hao has long been dissatisfied with Da Ming and his gentle policies overseas, but he can't slander the ancestors or anything, but he is determined to change all this, so that these overseas Xiaoxiao will worship Mingming.
Zhu Hao stood on the deck of the huge ship, thinking about these things with the sea breeze, and then he looked at the Fuzhou Sailor Wharf, which was getting farther and farther away from him behind him, secretly estimated in his heart, and secretly exclaimed:
"The speed of this huge ship is estimated to be thirty knots!"
"This big guy didn't affect his speed!"
"This speed is absolutely, faster than the fastest ship in the world, nearly twice the speed!"
Zhu Hao was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but be full of respect for Lu Ban, he knew that this ship could have this speed, all because Lu Ban improved the steam engine into a perpetual motion machine.
Otherwise, with the steam engine as the power, even if it can be driven, this big guy, I'm afraid it won't be in speed, much faster than a turtle.
Zhu Hao sighed in his heart, from a distance, he could already see the existence of Taiwan Island.
