On April 20, Yun Yi and Shangguan Yuling left Yunhua County in a carriage escorted by a team of Yun Jiajun and went to Wanghai Town, where the new first-class steamship in the Wanghai Town Shipyard was about to be completed and launched, and Yun Yi went to Wanghai Town to witness this important moment.

The ocean beyond the land of Shenzhou is undoubtedly full of all kinds of dangers, not to mention the hidden reefs, but the unpredictable weather in the ocean and the giant beasts in the sea can stop countless people who want to explore the ocean.

From ancient times to the present, there are not no people who want to explore the sea, but there are as many as hundreds of thousands, they are either looking for fairy islands, or simply want to explore the ocean, so they look for like-minded people to sail out to sea together, but the ship they can find is too small and fragile, such a ship sailing in the sea, often leaving the offshore and entering the unpredictable deep sea after the chance of returning is very small.

In this way, I don't know how many people stay in the sea forever, and then there are various rumors that the sea has become a forbidden area for human beings, and the shipbuilding technology on the land of China is developing slowly, and I don't know how long it will take to build a ship that can sail on the sea safely.

The Yunhua Yun clan, which lives in a single place, is developing rapidly under the leadership of Yun Yi, but the Yun clan is still a member of the hundreds of thousands of families in the Dali Empire, and on the surface, they are still loyal to the emperor, and the development of the past few years has made many forces pay special attention to the Yun clan, Yunhua County is so big, it is very troublesome for the Yun clan to hide something.

Under these circumstances, Yunyi decided to expand to the sea.

After three years of hard work, the first ship that could sail safely in the sea was finally born, and it was the Detective-class steamer.

The Tanzi-class ship is eighteen zhang long, three zhang wide, with a draft of one zhang, and a load of about 1,500 materials (converted to a displacement of 750 tons), which can be called a thousand material ships, with a speed of about 45 miles per hour (that is, a speed of six knots), and a crew of 90 people (in fact, only one-third of the crew can drive the ship on the sea).

A Soundword-class steamer large enough to be sturdy enough to throw away its sails is safe enough to sail the seas.

Later, three scout-class steamers formed a small fleet and began to explore the sea, and on their first voyage deep into the deep sea, they accidentally discovered Yunyong Island.

The fleet stopped exploring the sea and began to explore and develop Unyong Island.

However, the probe-class steamship is still too small, and the number is too small, with only three probe-class steamers, I don't know how long it will take to complete the development of Yunyong Island, and the re-exploration of the sea is also far away, Yunyi needs more and larger ships to develop Yunyong Island and continue to explore the sea, there can be only one Yunyong Island in the sea, there will be new islands and even continents waiting for people to explore and discover.

Under the leadership of Yunyi, Wanghai Town Shipyard began to expand, the first step is to build two larger docks on the basis of the original three docks, the new two docks must meet the construction of 5,000 large ships, and when the two new docks are completed, the original three docks will take time to expand, so that they can reach the scale of the new docks.

Because of the location, it is already the limit of five docks in the Wanghai Town Shipyard, and in the area about forty miles east of Wanghai Town, a new town and shipyard are being built, and this town is named Binhai Town by Yunyi.

On March 25, Wanghai Town Shipyard, the fourth Tanzi-class steamer was launched, and nearly a month later, the new first-class steamer was about to be launched, and Yunyi, who had nothing to do, decided to go to Wanghai Town to witness the completion and launch of the new first-class steamer.

Since Yun Yi officially took over the family, he has also been told by the elders not to do dangerous things, but Yun Yi is already an innate martial artist, and there are not many things that can threaten Yun Yi, but the elders strictly prohibit Yun Yi from going to sea, and in the eyes of the elders, the sea is undoubtedly more dangerous.

This time Yunyi Wanghai Town, before deciding to leave, Yunyi made various promises to the elders, and even swore that he would not go to sea, so the elders allowed Yunyi to go out.

By the way, Yunyi also brought Shangguan Yuling, Shangguan Yuling has never been far away since marrying Yunyi, and spends most of her time in Yunfu, especially after Yunyi's cousin Yun Yueshan got married, Shangguan Yuling has less time to step out of Yunfu, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yunyi decided to take Shangguan Yuling, go out for a walk, and breathe the wind, Shangguan Yuling readily agreed.

With Shangguan Yuling with them, coupled with enough time, Yun Yi and his party almost stopped and went, playing in the mountains and rivers all the way, sprinkled with Shangguan Yuling's silver bell-like voice, Shangguan Yuling, who was running and jumping, seemed to be back to her girlhood, but this kind of scene Shangguan Yuling would only be revealed in front of Yun Yi, even if there were only guards next to her, Shangguan Yuling would not behave like this.

Originally, the road that could be completed in one day and one night, Yun Yi and his party took more than four days to arrive at Wanghai Town near the end of April 24, coincidentally, before Yun Yi and his party arrived in Wanghai Town, they had four Tanzi-class steamers to complete the task of transporting personnel and materials to Yunyong Island not long after the Yun fleet returned.

In the past month and a half, the fleet has traveled back and forth to Yunyong Island almost every seven days, sending a large number of labor and materials to Yunyong Island, and now the number of people on Yunyong Island has exceeded 1,000, of which eight CD are workers, one percent is a garrison, and the remaining one percent are warriors and teenagers who are about to become warriors.

Under the command of Zhang Xu, in the orderly development of Yunyong Island, two large roads that can pass two carriages side by side will run through Yunyong Island from north to south and east to west, and Yunyong Island will also be divided into five areas (the fifth area is the island heart lake area).

In the southwest region, a large number of wooden buildings have risen from the ground, which can meet the needs of all the people on the island; In the area of the island heart lake, a super large medicine garden has been opened up, and all the medicinal materials grown in Yunyong Island have been transplanted into the medicine garden, it can be said that with the scale and quality of the Yunyong Island Medicine Garden, any medicine garden on the land of Shenzhou is not as good as it.

……

On April 26, the weather is fine, it is suitable for sacrifices, travel, construction, and groundbreaking, and it is forbidden to make stoves, haircuts, and consecrations.

Yun Yi, Shangguan Yuling, Zhengong Shi Yang, Yun Yong, Lin Zhen, Wang Jinwen, etc., all the important people in Wanghai Town have appeared in the shipyard, and the Linzi-class steamship that is larger than the Tanzi-class steamship has been built, and today is the day when the Linzi-class steamer was launched, and everyone gathered here to witness this important moment.

In the quiet dock of the first steamship of the Linzi class, the "Linjia", its huge body brought infinite shock to everyone.

Such a large body means that it will have a greater loading capacity and a stronger ability to withstand bad weather, and the Yun fleet needs this kind of Linzi-class steamship that is more powerful than the probe-class steamer.
