"Old man, I'll leave it to you here while I'm gone!" In the camp in Nanfuzhou, Zhao Chen squatted in front of Old Man Ji's wheelchair, patted the back of Old Man Ji's dry hand, and said with a smile.

Now, the big ship over there has been built, with civil engineers like Gong Loser, plus the excellent tools provided by Zhao Chen, hundreds of people have been working day and night, and it only took a month for a big ship to be built.

Now, Cheng Chumo is taking the sailors he trained to step up sea trials over there, and Zhao Chen will come here to settle things down.

He is no longer the one who just came out of Qinling, there are tens of thousands of people who rely on him to eat, and he doesn't know how long it will take to come back from this trip, how can he do it if he doesn't settle down here.

"Go early and come back early, there is an old man here to help you keep an eye on it!" Old man Ji had a smile on his face, looked at Zhao Chen who was squatting in front of him and said.

"I'm relieved to have you staring at me!" When Zhao Chen heard Old Man Ji say this, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "If there is anything unexpected, you can beat that copper drum, and then all the people of the Xiyuan tribe will appear here!" ”

The bronze drum is the patron saint of the wingmen, and it is often the desire to attack, the copper drum sounds, and the responders gather. Since Zhao Chen came here, he has been the thunder god messenger of the wingman, and all the Xiyuan tribes have made up the copper in the tribe and cast a larger copper drum for Zhao Chen.

Now, it is hung on a large shelf in front of Zhao Chen's tent, as long as the copper drum sounds, the bureaucrats from ten miles and eight towns will gather in front of him.

Seeing that Old Man Ji nodded, Zhao Chen's eyes turned to Ji Ning'er on the side, and said half-jokingly: "Little girl." Don't knock around! If something happens, you'll be in trouble! ”

It was originally because Zhao Chen went to sea. You can take Jiang Chao, but you don't take her. Ji Ning'er, who was in a good mood, heard that Zhao Chen was calling her a chick again, and immediately like a cat who stepped on her tail, her eyes suddenly widened, she glared at Zhao Chen fiercely, and asked word by word: "If you have the ability, you can call another one to try?" ”

"Chick!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he shouted at Ji Ning'er again with a smile. However, seeing Ji Ning'er's instant fluttering with her teeth and claws, she immediately said, "I want to tell you." The ice room has stocked you with a few boxes of ice cream! ”

Ice cream is Ji Ninger's Achilles' heel, since the last time she tasted it, Ji Ninger has been completely addicted, and when she has nothing to do, she always holds a box of ice cream and sends it to her small mouth one by one.

"Hmph, forget it, for the sake of you going to sea, this girl won't bother with you!" Ji Ning'er was originally the one who pounced with her teeth and claws. Hearing that Zhao Chen had already stored a few boxes of ice cream for her in the ice room, he immediately put down the sleeve tube that had been rolled up, waved his little hand at Zhao Chen quite generously, and hummed.

The old man Ji on the side saw Ji Ning'er's very unpromising appearance. Suddenly opened his mouth and smiled. Jiang Chao, on the other hand, directly covered his forehead in pain, looking like he couldn't bear to look at it directly. This girl has now been pinched by Zhao Chen. I don't know what the future holds!

"Brother Ma, you're watching over there!" Arranged this side of the matter. Zhao Chen looked at Ma Zhou again and said, "What's the matter?" Just come and talk to the old man about it! ”

"Don't worry!" When Ma Zhou heard this, he nodded at Zhao Chen and said.

"The young master is smooth sailing, go early and come back early!" Zhao Chen went to sea this time, and the most reluctant person was probably wheat. The little girl looked pitiful, stood there looking at Zhao Chen, and said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded, rubbed Mai's head dotingly, and then turned to everyone and said, "During the time I was away, I had to worry a lot about the matter here!" ”

After saying this, Zhao Chen didn't delay any longer, and the two of them saddled on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between their legs, turned around and headed towards Gaozhou.

"Hey, remember that it's smooth sailing!" The horse ran far away, and Ji Ning'er's voice came from behind him.

When Zhao Chen heard this voice, he looked at Jiang Chao on the side, and found that Jiang Chao was staring ahead, so he had to turn around and raise the horsewhip in his hand towards Ji Ning'er, who was far behind him and waving at them.

Just when Zhao Chen and Jiang Chao had just left Nanfuzhou, a fast horse galloped and rushed into the camp at a gallop, and the knight on the horse turned over and dismounted.

But it didn't take long for the knight to rush out of the camp again, turn over his horse, and chase in the direction that Zhao Chen had just left.

Ma Zhou, who followed closely behind the knight and rushed out of the camp, had a shocked look on his face!

It was noon, the sun hung high in the sky, the endless sea, the wind was calm, and flocks of seagulls hovered low in the sky, from time to time picking up a live fish and flying high.

And at this moment, a ship appeared on the sea, cleaving the waves, as if coming from the other side of the sea, gradually heading towards the coastline, and when the line of sight gradually narrowed, it was indeed a huge ship like a giant.

The whole ship is divided into four layers, and the whole ship is about fifty or sixty meters long and more than ten meters wide. There are nine masts on the ship, and twelve huge sails can be hung, all of which are hard sails that can be adjusted at any time.

The sun was dazzling, and at this time, looking from afar, I could see a dark-faced young man on the wide upper deck, standing on the side of the ship, holding a monocular in his hand, looking at the coastline, the whole person was majestic, and behind him were busy sailors.

"This bastard has finally come to life!" Zhao Chen, who was standing on the coastline and was also holding a telescope, saw Cheng Chumo standing on the deck, and suddenly laughed angrily, put down the binoculars, and muttered.

The swarthy young man on the ship who was looking at this side was naturally silent. Since the construction of the treasure ship, Cheng Chumo took the hundreds of sailors he had soaked in the lake day and night to board the treasure ship, and Cheng Chumo finally became the whole person, and he changed back to the person he used to be.

It's just that after this period of precipitation, Cheng Chu has become much more stable than the past!

"Cheng Chumo has a brother like you, sometimes even Jiang feels a little jealous!" Jiang Chao on the side heard Zhao Chen's words, and immediately looked at the ship slowly approaching over there, sighed and said.

For a month in a row, everyone actually saw it, just because Cheng Chumo came back from logging that day, Zhao Chen saw Cheng Chumo's whole person and savage-like appearance.

As a result, the whole person is simply like crazy, urging people to build ships day and night, and he himself often stays up late to light the lamp, and his eyes are often full of bloodshots.

It can be said that without Zhao Chen's madness, this ship would not have been built so quickly!

"That's what I promised to do to Chu Mo!" When Zhao Chen heard Jiang Chao's words, he turned his head, smiled at Jiang Chao and said, "You can't be a man without credit!" ”

"Really?" When Jiang Chao heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, he looked at Zhao Chen with deep meaning, and said, "Are you really such a trustworthy person?" ”

"When..."When Zhao Chen heard this, he just wanted to blurt out something of course, but as a result, his eyes came into contact with Jiang Chao squinting at him, and he suddenly remembered in his mind that he had released pigeons in the hidden door at the beginning of the year, and his face was suddenly embarrassed, and he looked at Jiang Chao and said with a dry smile: "That was an accident!" ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, turned his head, and set his eyes on the ship that was already close to the coastline.

When the ship is tens of meters away, when it is driving on the sea, it makes people feel that it is extremely huge, and when the ship enters the dock, people stand under the ship again, and suddenly there is a feeling of giant.

This treasure ship, except for the treasure ship that is inferior to Zheng He in terms of huge size, the structure inside it is basically the same as the treasure ship.

The treasure ship is divided into four layers, the lower floor is equipped with ballast stones, the third floor is for fresh water tanks, the second floor is where the soldiers live, and the top floor is the terrace, which needs to be climbed from the gangway on the third floor, and the two sides are fenced with board wings, so that in case of emergency, people can overlook the battle.

"Go to sea, Brother Chen!" As soon as the boat entered the dock, Cheng Chumo got down from it, and as soon as he came to Zhao Chen, he shouted with a roar: "I'm already impatient!" ”

"Get out!" Zhao Chen heard that it was okay in front of him, and when he heard Cheng Chumo's second half of the sentence, he suddenly rolled his eyes angrily and said.

Cheng Chumo really can't wait, these days are always sea trials, every time they go out two or three nautical miles, they are fluttering in the offshore sea, not to mention Cheng Chumo, even those sailors have lost their patience, and they are looking forward to sailing as soon as possible!

Since everything is ready and the east wind has come, let's go to sea!

Zhao Chen gave an order, and suddenly more than a dozen large crossbow machines were moved onto ships one after another, and these crossbow machines were all invented by Zhao Chen and the people of the Mo family and the public loser.

The materials used on the crossbow machine were all taken out of the supermarket by Zhao Chen, and the wheeled launch was replaced by soft steel wire.

The crossbow machine of the Tang Dynasty at this time, the most powerful is also the eight-bull crossbow, the eight-bull crossbow, the power is powerful, the range is long, but the eight-bull crossbow is extremely heavy and needs to be manipulated by many people, therefore, it has always been only used for defending the city.

And this crossbow machine invented by Zhao Chen, the public loser, and the Mo family is simple to operate, only two people are needed, but it is more terrifying than the eight-bull crossbow in terms of power!

There are a total of seventeen ballistas, all of which are installed on the top deck, and the place where the ballista is placed has long been designed on the deck, but the crossbow has not been put on it in the past few days when it is still in the trial stage.

This time out to sea, no one knows the situation at sea, it is complicated and difficult to understand, such a large ship goes out, if there is no corresponding protection device on the ship, it is equivalent to a child holding a large piece of gold standing at the entrance of the downtown street, there is no difference at all.

There are many things that need to be prepared for other people's voyages, such as replenishing fresh water, which is a very headache, but for Zhao Chen, these things that others have headaches and abnormalities are all not bad money! (To be continued......)
