[There is a small recommendation next week, and the day after tomorrow will resume double changes]

The length of the Linzi-class steamer is 21 zhang, the width is 3 and a half zhang, the draft is 1 zhang and a half, the load is about 2,100 materials (converted to a displacement of 1050 tons), which is 1.3 times the size of the Tanzi-class steamer, the maximum speed is about 75 miles per hour, the endurance can be used to sail 5,400 miles at a speed of 45 miles per hour, and the crew is 95 people.

The Linzi-class steamship is the same as the Tanzi-class steamer, it is not a standard merchant ship or transport ship, nor is it a standard warship, to be precise, it is a combination of a merchant ship and a warship, and there is a fixed weapon position on the Linzi-class steamship and the probe-class ship, and at the same time ensure that the shipship has a certain carrying capacity, after all, there are still too many dangers in the sea, if the shipship does not have any protection and attack capabilities, and when it encounters a giant beast or an unknown enemy warship, the ship will be dangerous.

In a certain period of time, the ships loaded by Yun's ships will basically be this kind of commercial and war dual-purpose ships, which can also be called armed merchant ships.

Bang!

A loud bang came from the direction of the sea, and the steamship "Linjia" fell into the water, causing a splash.

The excited eyes of the people in the center of the shipyard stared closely at the "Linjia" steamship, only to see that the "Linjia" steamship slowly returned to normal from the large angle tilt state when it fell into the water, and the "Linjia" steamer was successfully launched!

"It worked, we succeeded."

"Oh...... Oh! ”

Suddenly there were bursts of cheers in the shipyard, they were celebrating the successful launch of the "Linjia" steamship, Yun Yi and the others would not make too drastic moves with their own identities, but they also looked at the excited crowd with a smile.

As long as the ship is successfully launched, it means that the ship has been thoroughly built, and then only need to inspect the ship, and then try it off several times in the offshore sea, as long as there is no danger found, it can be officially delivered.

Now the "Linjia" steamship has been successfully launched, if the process is smooth, it will not take half a month to deliver, after all, the "Linjia" steamship is only an "old" steamship in the eyes of Yunyi, the complexity is not high, and launching means that the construction is completed, and there is no need for outfitting.

Witnessing the launch of the "Linjia" steamship, Yun Yi's purpose of this trip has been achieved, and after briefly explaining some things to others, he took Shangguan Yuling to return to Yunhua County with a team of Yun family troops the next day.

Yunyi's departure did not have as much impact on Wanghai Town, Yunyong took the Yun's fleet to continue to transport personnel and materials to Yunyong Island, and the trial voyage of the "Linjia" steamship is also underway, four of the five docks of the Wanghai Town Shipyard have suspended shipbuilding, then one of the four docks is to be expanded, and the other three docks are to see the "Linjia" steamship sea trial, and there will be no accidents when the "Linjia" ship trial is over, and these three docks will start to build Linzi-class ships. The shipyard's last dock is working on the construction of the Soundword-class steamer, which is expected to be completed in more than 20 days.

Judging from the current situation, it takes about twice as long to build a probe-class steamer as a probe-class steamer, that is to say, two identical docks, the former dock only built a pro-word steamer, and the latter dock has built two probe-class steamers, although the pro-word class steamer is larger than the probe-class steamer, but it is not too large, and the two probe-class steamers are completely more suitable than one probe-class steamer.

However, a situation made Yunyi choose to build more Linzi-class steamers and less Tanzi-class ships, and if there were larger ships, then build more larger ships, and the construction plan of Linzi-class ships was greatly reduced.

Yun Yi recalled some knowledge of his previous life, and found that there were more winds and waves on the sea in this world, and the weather was more unpredictable, and if the fleet did not encounter bad weather every time it went to sea, it was an abnormal thing, and the probe-class steamer could withstand all kinds of bad weather, but the probe-class steamer also had a limit, and the probe-class steamer, which was much larger than the probe-class steamer, was undoubtedly able to withstand more severe weather, and the probability of danger in the sea was much lower than that of the probe-class steamer.

Therefore, after the appearance of larger ships, the shipyard will give priority to building larger ships, but fortunately, when the workers are proficient, the construction time of a Linzi-class steamer will be shortened to a semi-probe-class ship.

Half a month is fleeting, Yun's fleet completed two missions to the sea, the unexpected is that the first time to go to sea actually encountered a big octopus, was in the fleet of Yun Qi armed with a steel gun killed, this time the big octopus was not thrown away, the fleet is not fully loaded, can load the big octopus, transported to Yunyong Island, left as food for the islanders, octopus meat will be spoiled for a long time.

Not counting this time, the Yun fleet had encountered two giant beast attacks when sailing in the sea before, but they both attacked under the surface of the sea, hit the ship a few times, and then were expelled by the fleet, only the big octopus would stretch out its tentacles to attack the ship on the sea, and the fleet could also attack it, and finally kill it.

In half a month, the trial voyage of the "Linjia" steamship was completed, and there were no major problems, and several small problems have been solved and can be delivered to the fleet.

Yun Yong became the first captain of the "Linjia" steamship, and the captain of the "Exploration" was succeeded by the deputy captain Zhao Ke, and the Yun fleet already had five ships, and the cargo carrying capacity was raised to a very high level, even exceeding the needs of Yunyong Island development.

On 15 May, the fifth Tanzi-class steamer "Tanyi" (the fourth was called Tanjia) was launched, and after a simple trial voyage of three days, the "Tanyi" steamer was handed over to the fleet, and the Yun's fleet already had six ships.

According to Yunyi's previous plan, the Yun fleet, which has six ships, will be officially divided into two fleets, the commander of the first fleet is Yun Yong, Yun Qi is in charge, the flagship Linjia steamship, under the jurisdiction of Tanjia steamship and Tanyi steamship, and the first fleet is responsible for exploring the sea; The commander of the second fleet is Lin Zhen, Yunji is in charge, the flagship is the Tanhai steamship, and the subordinate ships are the Exploration and Visit, which are responsible for transporting personnel and materials to and from Yunyong Island.

The six ships were divided into two fleets, and the sea exploration plan was launched again, the Yun clan could not be satisfied with one Yunyong Island, the sea was so big, I don't know how many unknowns were waiting to be explored, and the Yun clan could not stop.

In addition, with the increase in the number of ships and the expansion of the shipyard, the population of Wanghai Town is also increasing rapidly, and it may not take two years for Wanghai Town to become Wanghai City.
