After dinner, Cao Yan led everyone to the place of the battleship again.

There are already a lot of people around here.

Seeing Cao Yan coming, everyone hurriedly made way for a road.

"Auntie is ready, can you let them drag it?" Lin Dahei asked, they didn't dare to do it if Cao Yan didn't come, or the same sentence, this ship is made of steel, everyone is afraid that it will sink and can't afford to pay that responsibility.

Cao Yan surrounded the downhill paved rolling wood, "Okay, tell them to do it." ”

"Do it," Lin Dahei shouted at the river.

More than a dozen big ships in the river in the distance suddenly sailed forward in unison.

Cao Yan's mood was also very nervous at this time, his heart was hanging, thanks to a person who asked him if the ship would sink back.

made him a little less confident in his heart, and he became a little less sure of the foolproof before.

Lin Yiru beside him reached over and held Cao Yan's hand, with a little softness, and there was a feeling of calmness.

Cao Yan turned his head, looked at her, smiled slightly, and shook her warm hand hard, which made his nervousness lighten a lot.

The battleship slowly descended the slope and plunged headlong into the river.

After a few ups and downs in the river, fortunately, the boat did not capsize, but stopped steadily on the river.

Cao Yan put his heart down at this time and let out a long breath.

"Master, alright?" Luo Ming asked, his eyes full of anticipation to get on the boat and go to waves.

His words also made many people look at Cao Yan.

"It's still early," Cao Yan glanced at him, did these dirt buns think that this was drawn by people?

"Isn't it already in the water?" Luo Ming asked.

"You don't need to reload, do you?" Cao Yan asked.

"Supplies?"

Cao Yan patted his head, there should be no word for supply in this era, so he said bluntly: "Loading water, coal, food, those, if you don't wait to go to sea, what will everyone eat?" ”

"Do you want to go to sea?" Someone asked.

"Well, just wait for you to come early tomorrow morning, and I'll explain to you when I go to the ship, just look at it now, I can't tell you clearly, and you can't understand it," After saying this, Cao Yan didn't pay attention to him anymore, and said to the surroundings, "According to what I said before, help Yiyueru replenish." Every time Cao Yan called this name, she felt her eyes jump, and Lin Yueru beside her was very happy.

"Yes!"

Many of the people around who had watched the excitement before suddenly became busy, and buckets of water, loads of coal, food, and countless various supplies began to be transported to the steel battleship.

……

Seeing this scene, although Xiang Yixin and the others were curious, they also knew that now was not a good time to get on the ship and visit when they saw the busy supply ship and the people who were transporting supplies to the ship.

With the intention of not hindering Cao Yan, and it was getting late, it was estimated that they would not be able to enter the city after staying, so everyone said goodbye to Cao Yan one after another, agreed to come early tomorrow morning, and left.

Cao Yan looked at the back of them leaving, looked at the twelve long gun barrels on the battleship, and had a little headache, he didn't install anti-aircraft guns and torpedoes, and now this thing is useless, but on the basis of the original 8 barrels of 150 guns, 4 more guns were added.

But tomorrow how will we explain the purpose of these barrels! He didn't want to expose the purpose of this thing too soon! I don't have the strength to hold these things yet.

Thinking of this, Cao Yan's head hurt again.

……

……

Morning.

Yesterday, the group of people appeared in front of Cao Yan without falling, and there were two more Zhong Xinyi and Xiaoyudian.

The two of them met Xiang Yixin and them inadvertently when they went back, and when they learned that Cao Yan's battleship was launched, the two were also full of curiosity, after all, they were also one of the people who thought that the battleship would sink.

"You're so positive!" Cao Yan rubbed his eyes that didn't wake up, a little speechless.

"I didn't sleep all night last night," Mr. Lodmin said exaggeratedly.

"Me ...... too"

"Me too......" echoed the voices around him.

This made Cao Yan want to complain a little, and complained, "Isn't it just a boat?" Are you riding less? ”

"It's different, it's an iron ship, you know? Iron Ship! Xia Haibo shouted.

"I built it myself, so I don't need you to remind me," Cao Yan glanced at them and led them to the location of the dock.

The boat was already leaning on the side of the dock.

A tall wooden staircase was erected next to the ship, which led to the side of the ship.

"Let's go up, come one by one, I'm afraid I'll be crushed by too many people." Cao Yan pointed to the stairs and said.

"Sir, you're really thoughtful, by the way, dead fatty, you're the last!" Xia Haibo turned around and said.

"Why?" Luo Fatzi asked.

Xia Haibo looked at the wood used as the staircase, and said disdainfully: "Why don't you have a B number in your heart?" ”

"I'll rub!" Luo Ming rubbed the fat on his stomach and scolded.

……

……

Sure enough, what Cao Yan was aware of happened, and after getting on the boat and looking around, they became very interested in the twelve long cannon barrels.

Luo Ming directly knocked it with his hand, and the barrel of the gun made a crisp metallic sound, "Master, what is this for?" ”

"It's good-looking," Cao Yan yawned and said casually.

"Hehe, does the master want us to guess?" Luo Ming said with a smile.

Cao Yan shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation, as if you were happy.

Luo Ming's eyes rolled, he walked to the position of the gun, covered the opposite side and shouted: "I guess it's a message, is there anyone inside?" Can you hear me? After shouting, Luo Ming leaned in with his ear, wanting to hear if anyone had replied.

But he heard only a buzzing sound in his ears, and no other echoes.

The others looked at Cao Yan and saw that he didn't speak, so they knew that Luo Ming's guess was definitely wrong.

"I guess it's ventilated," Xiang Yixin remembered in the cabin, but it was very stuffy, thinking that if the ship moved forward, then these few gun barrels would definitely be able to send the wind in.

Cao Yan still didn't speak.

"Is it to dry clothes? Quilts? Xiaoyudian weakly guessed that if she thought that if she went to sea, then she would definitely need to wash and dry quilts at sea, and she didn't see that thing on the entire deck, which means that it is not good, this thing is used for this.

God specially dried clothes and quilts, Cao Yan was really defeated by Xiaoyudian's brain, but as soon as she said this, Cao Yan definitely did this thing, and it was really appropriate!

Seeing that Cao Yan's face changed, Xiaoyudian shouted happily, "Haha, I guessed right, right?" ”

Everyone looked at Cao Yan's expression, looked around at the deck, and when they thought about it, they felt really right.

……

"Brother-in-law, the steam pressure is enough, it's ready to start." Lin Xiaoyang ran over excitedly and reported.

Interrupted everyone's desire to continue guessing.

"Well, I know," Cao Yan responded, and then said to the people around him: "Let's go, let's go to the power room." ”

"By the way, Brother Cao, your boat, there are no oars, and there are no sails, how can you sail?" Xiang Yixin was puzzled for a long time, and finally asked this question.

"Steam driven."

"Steam driven?".

"Let's go, I'll show you." Cao Yan also had to check the operation of the steam engine to see if there was any problem.

It just so happens that you can take them down to have a look and answer one or two now.
