The second ship in the plan, which was actually built together with the third, was of the same type, that is, a slender ship with the auxiliary hull removed, and had more similarities in appearance with the old lock ship.

Speed and sturdiness will still be their greatest strengths, and with Linsen open to the supply of the best woods, the shipyard never has to worry about running out of these hardwoods.

And because the auxiliary hull was removed, more shipbuilders were liberated, and the difficulty of construction was correspondingly much smaller, and the shipyard simply built the two ships at the same time.

Although it is said to be experimental, these old shipwrights are full of confidence in them.

The next step will definitely be to receive many orders from all the martial artists and even the royal family, and it is naturally necessary to expand the production capacity.

As for the source of materials for the shipyard, it must be a big problem for others, and if they want to get so many things, many of them have to be obtained from the jungles of Southeast Asia, or Yazhou Island, and some simply need to go to Africa or the Americas to get them.

Not to mention whether anyone can make them together, anyway, the cost of building such a ship is enough to make many wealthy nobles break their bones.

In fact, many of these woods are the fist products of the merchants, and the selling price is also quite powerful, not to a certain extent, they can't afford to use these things.

In order to maximize the use of the energy of transformation, he just transformed those small saplings into the varieties he wanted, and then quickly gave birth to them.

Originally, it would take tens of hundreds of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years of growth, to become a suitable material, but when it came to Lin Sen, it was completely up to his wishes.

The time-consuming process of drying in the shade is also easy and enjoyable for him.

But to the outside world, it is natural to talk about the precious anomalies and rarity of these woods, and talk about them as "real".

Moreover, the ships sold to other people in the future will definitely not reach the strength of the Ping'an, and the two experimental ships named "Jixiang" and "Ruyi" by Lin Sen respectively, as well as this level of materials that is absolutely extravagant and abnormal.

If it weren't for Lin Sen, a guy with his own cheats, all of them were built with all kinds of top-notch hardwoods, probably Li Shimin's ship was expected to be able to reach it, and it would have to be a case of mobilization.

It's more about using some in key parts such as keels, which is enough to make them stronger, far beyond the common common woods such as pine and poplar, and there should be no problem in reaching the strength of the very famous Canton ships later.

For a merchant ship, or even a warship, it is enough.

However, it can also be seen why people are always full of amazement at the Peace, because the ship itself is no different from a moving gold house.

If it weren't for the fact that many of the above did not comply with the royal rules, I am afraid that many people's first reaction would be that this is the emperor's ship.

In fact, Lin Sen also made a special trip to Li Shimin for this matter in private, which meant that in addition to showing his loyalty, he also had the meaning of putting the peace number in Li Shimin's name.

It's a bit arrogant for him to have such a ship, but Li Shimin is not so stingy, and tells Lin Sen to use it with peace of mind, but if he really needs to take a boat, Li Shimin will temporarily requisition this Ping'an.

Anyway, the crew of the Ping An is basically sent by Li Shimin to be loyal to the royal family and loyal to him, the emperor, and it is not a big problem who this ship belongs to in name.

Moreover, Lin Sen also took out so many secret weapons and put them on this ship, which has fully demonstrated his loyalty, showing that he has no intention of hiding it from him, the emperor.

He was naturally very satisfied with Lin Sen's performance, so he inevitably encouraged Lin Sen.

And those secret weapons are not to be seen on the Jixiang and Ping'an, there will also be easy-to-operate lifting batteries, there are also those bed crossbows, ballistas and the like, and even there will be incendiary canisters such as naval weapons, but that's all.

Including the two major killing weapons of ballistas and incendiary canisters, they have already begun to be implemented in the Tang Army, and these are not taboo things for Lin Sen at the moment.

And the crews on these two ships will not be the loyal sailors under Li Shimin, but Lin Sen from the various families, which can be regarded as the crew sponsored by them, which can be regarded as one of the conditions for each family to join this wealth trip to the spice island.

At the same time, it is also to let their people witness the whole route with their own eyes, so that they can write down the real route, whether it is the monsoon or the ocean current, they need to feel it personally to better remember it.

Obviously, such a high-stakes route will never fall on paper, so when the fleets are completed, Lin Sen will allow some of them to communicate back to their respective fleets.

Since Lin Sen has the same interests as the other families in this matter, these guys who are desperate for the original owner's family will naturally contribute to this ship with a clear conscience, let alone worry about them casually leaking the information of this route.

This is not only a demonstration of the sincerity of Lin Sen's cooperation, but also a helpless move, which is the best way to ensure a win-win situation in the current situation, who makes the Lin family's background too bad.

It is obviously not advisable to hire a crew member on a temporary basis, and the possibility of leaking secrets is too great to guarantee loyalty.

And those students of Lin Sen will be distributed on these three ships, and the royal power will also exist, which can be regarded as forming a situation of mutual checks and balances.

It is still okay to ensure that everyone works together to develop the value of the spice islands, at least until the resources of these spice islands are exhausted, there are huge interests in the first place, and many problems will no longer be problems.

And in terms of keeping secrets and not giving others the opportunity to participate, it is very tacit.

Any such temptation will be regarded as the enemy of life and death for everyone, and any possibility of leaking secrets will definitely be nipped in the bud by their joint efforts.

This is also an important reason why Lin Sen wants to bring these people in, especially those gangsters who seem to be kind, but in fact, they are all black-hearted.

In fact, after the caravan returned, Lin Sen could already clearly feel that the situation in the entire Lingnan had begun to change.

Including the urban area of Panyu, there are many more guys who seem to be ordinary and kind, but in fact they are murderous.

With the keen sense of Lin Sen and his guards, they can definitely detect that these guys are not easy to mess with, including those old guys who account for a large share of them.

Needless to say, these are all veterans of various noble families, and there are probably many generals among them.

Because Lin Sen has seen familiar faces more than once, there is an old farmer on the Cheng family's Zhuangzi, a certain one-eyed dragon old man on the Qin family's Zhuangzi, and even a sweeping old man in the inner courtyard of the Li family. It seems that many of them are ruthless characters from the Xuanjia Army.

Since he can be seen by Lin Sen, even if he doesn't speak, it's no different from greeting, otherwise how could these guys be discovered so easily, and they appeared in front of him in turn.

Of course, in the process of building a new ship, it is impossible for the Ping An to recuperate all the time.

In fact, after a little overhaul, a batch of high-quality goods from Fanshang were added, as well as local specialties, and the Ping'an would sail along the coast to Yangzhou.

It's too much to bring a boatload of spices at first glance, and the time to come and go is not short, and by then the Jixiang and Ruyi have already been launched, so you can't wait, it's better to let them move in the same pace, and you can better deal with those ships with bad intentions.

It's just that Lin Sen specially told him to leave some space in the cargo hold when the Ping An returned home.

When passing through Hangzhou, as well as Minzhou (that is, Fuzhou in later generations) and Wenzhou, a batch of stones transported from Changhua and Shoushan, as well as Qingtian, were connected, and the ballast stones were replaced.

The reason is quite simple, Lin Sen wants to build a house for himself here in Panyu.

Since you are building a house, it is normal to use some stones.
