It was already afternoon, and the sea was calm, but Yu Guozhen's heart was restless.

"Haven't seen the Falcon yet?" He asked.

"Not yet."

Today is actually the day of the Flying Falcon's first sea trial, according to its speed, it should have returned at this time, but until now, it has been an hour overtime, and the Flying Falcon has not returned.

Unlike the Yellow Falcon, which lacks armament and only relies on the speed brought by the steam engine, the Flying Falcon is equipped with Xinxiang's latest artillery, and its significance can be said to be not inferior to that of the Yellow Falcon.

Yu Guozhen is still worried about another problem, that is, the Falcon falls into the hands of other forces, such as the Zheng family. The Zheng family has been peeking at Xinxiang recently, and he is naturally clear.

The biggest secret of the Falcon is the steam engine, and the principle of the steam engine is really simple, and there is no difficulty in the process, to put it mildly, as long as you have the ability to cast a bronze bell, you can cast a steam engine, the difference is the power. If the Falcon really falls into the hands of the Zheng family, the Zheng family will bury themselves in research for another year or two, even if the imitation is not as good as Xinxiang's own creation, it will be a big trouble.

And the Zheng family colluded with the Dutch, if they handed over this secret to the Dutch, with the current level of technology and science in Europe, it would be enough to advance the industrial revolution in Europe by 50 to 100 years. This is what Yu Guozhen does not want to see, after all, Huaxia is not ready.

But Yu Guozhen also knew that with the expansion of his power, the increase in the population under his rule, and the increasing frequency of trade and commerce, sooner or later, the secret of the steam engine would spread to all parts of the world. Thus advancing the course of human history. He just hopes. It could be a little later, and finally five to ten years later, and he was well prepared. There were tens of millions of people under his rule, and at that time, it was transmitted to the world along with the steam engine. There will still be the interests of the Chinese nation!

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw the smoke and dust in the distance, in addition to the smoke and dust, there was also the rumbling sound of cannons!

Yu Guozhen's heart sank: Something happened!

At this time, the defense of Longmen Island was about a permanent garrison, with a total of about 500 people. For a long time, Xinxiang was no longer threatened, so a lot of fortifications were done to strengthen the defenses, but not many troops were stationed.

Besides. There are also about 100 followers who came with Yu Guozhen, Huwei.

This is the shore defense force of Longmen Island, and there is also the Xinxiang Guard Royal Fleet in the harbor. Xun Shilu is the commander of the garrison fleet, under normal circumstances. He was stationed in Changhua with the fleet. But today is a little different, and the Falcon is significant. So he also came to the Dragon Gate, with him a battleship and four frigates. Coupled with the fleet that was originally berthed in Longmen Port, the number of fleets that could be mobilized immediately in Yu Guozhen's hands was also twenty-two.

"Organize an evacuation immediately and send all the shipwrights and researchers back to Xinxiang." After Yu Guozhen judged that there was an accident, he immediately ordered: "You can not bring things, people must keep them, and take away the relevant information if they can take it away!" ”

Hua Youzhi followed him, and immediately found someone to pass the order, after thinking about it, he was not at ease, and said to Yu Guozhen: "Official, I'll still take a look, although there is always an emergency rehearsal, but when it comes to the end, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents, so it's better for me to keep an eye on it." ”

He has been by Yu Guozhen's side for nearly a year, and he knows Yu Guozhen's character, and he is not afraid that they will say the wrong thing, but he is afraid that they will float up and not do practical things. They are willing to take the initiative to do practical things, Yu Guozhen is only happy, and will never say anything.

As for Yu Guozhen's safety, with Qi Niu by his side, who else can hurt Yu Guozhen!

"Go ahead, be more detailed." Yu Guozhen said.

Hua Youzhi hurriedly ran out, someone greeted him on the road, he nodded his head, but he didn't dare to stop. He pondered that the most important thing was the people in the research institute, so he ran to the research institute first. There were a few tiger guards on the road, and he was worried that he would not have enough manpower, so he specially called these people.

The order has been delivered, and the people of the research institute on Longmen Island have begun to evacuate, Hua Youzhi was a little panicked when he saw the evacuation, and he knew in his heart that the people of the research institute were relatively special in Xinxiang, and it could be said that it was the only place where they were not required by military discipline. In Yu Guozhen's words, the group of babies in the research institute are all relying on a wit to seek a breakthrough, except for forcing them to exercise so that they can live longer, the rest of the rules and regulations mean that they are tied up.

It is precisely because of this that the people of various emergency plan research institutes have also drawn up, but there are not many real exercises, and they are not even as good as the schools at all levels in Xinxiang. Now Xinxiang School is more than one, with the graduation of the first batch of the second batch of students, on top of the primary school, and the establishment of a higher school, but the higher school basically depends on self-study, fortunately, the most important thing in the primary school is to cultivate the ability of these children to learn independently, according to the teaching materials of the higher school, constantly speculate, experiment, should prove that Yu Guozhen put forward a "hypothesis" in the textbook, not only so that the academic level of Xinxiang has improved rapidly, but also laid a solid foundation. There are many emergency plans in the school, and there is also an emergency drill once a week, which can save lives in many cases for Xinxiang, which has many typhoons.

"Who else hasn't come out?" He asked.

Everyone in the research institute looked at each other, and then exclaimed, "Mr. Song didn't come out!" ”

There is only one Mr. Song in the research institute, that is, Song Yingxing, since the old man hit Xinxiang, it can be said that the old tree is in spring, and his physical condition is much stronger than that of such a petty official as a teacher at the beginning. He has always studied from facts, which can be said to be far away from politics, and in his heart, he still has some feelings for the Ming court, and he deliberately does not participate in many high-level decisions.

But Yu Guozhen never despised him, and even respected him, and he lived up to his expectations and finally came up with the steamship project.

"Mr. Song brought someone here, I don't know where it is now." Someone said again.

Hua Youzhi was slightly stunned, it should not be just someone who was brought here by Song Yingxing, but also a researcher at the research institute.

There are now more than ten research institutes under the Xinxiang Research Institute, and after the graduates of the second class came out, nearly half of them joined the research institute. Together with the workshop's own research institutes, the number of researchers reached more than 3,000. If you are not in the same department, it is extremely normal that you do not know each other.

After letting the withdrawn researchers leave quickly, he left two tiger guards to maintain order and prevent idle people from sneaking into the research institute to steal important information inside, and then led people into the door himself.

This is not an official research institute, but a shipyard that was renovated. It was dark inside, and when he entered here from the outside of the light, Hua Youzhi squinted slightly, and then saw a scene that made him cry and laugh.

Song Yingxing was shirtless in front of a steam engine, like a farmer, while several people around him laughed. They seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and Hua Youzhi ran to Song Yingxing's side in three steps and two steps: "Mr. Song, is there no one to inform you to evacuate?" ”

"I've been informed, but I'm not available at the most critical time for this experiment." Song Yingxing sighed twice: "Okay, now we can install a more powerful steam engine, even the ironclad ship, it should also be able to move!" ”

"Yes, yes, I know that Song Lao can do it!"

"You ......" Hua You's heart was anxious: "Old Song, there may be a war on the island, you better withdraw first!" ”

Song Yingxing looked back at him at this time, and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "What are you worried about, Nanhai Bo is on this island, who can hit here?" ”

In these words, his strong confidence in Yu Guozhen was revealed, which made Hua Youzhi stunned.

"Mr. Song, out of prudence, let's withdraw first, although we don't have to worry about the enemy hitting the island, but in surface combat, artillery comes first, and it would be bad if one or two shells fell here."

By Yu Guozhen's side, Hua Youzhi has gone through a lot of things, and he also knows how to deal with these scholars who have gone crazy with research. Song Yingxing didn't embarrass him, so together with the researchers, the fire was extinguished first, and everyone was about to come out, when suddenly they heard a shout in front of the door!

"You wait here first, I'll go and see." Hua You's heart froze, and he first asked the tiger guard who was with him to protect Song Yingxing, and then ran over quickly.

But he saw that the two tiger guards he brought, one had fallen in a pool of blood, and the other was holding a short sword in his hand, and was fighting with three people. The shout was made by the tiger guard who had not yet fallen!

Hua Youzhi didn't hesitate to pick up a stick, and hit one of them with a head and a head, he sneaked up from behind, but that person was extremely agile, and when he turned around, he not only flashed his stick, but even rushed towards him!

Hua Youzhi is not a real tiger guard, but he is also trained, and he was singled out to act as Yu Guozhen's staff, and in many cases, he has to play a role in protecting Yu Guozhen, so he also practiced hard for a while. But compared to the person in front of him, he was still much worse, and after only two strokes, he was kicked to the ground by the other party.

Fortunately, at this time, there was a shouting sound not far away, and the three people saw that the situation was not good, and they ran out one by one, quickly disappeared, and they didn't know where they went.

When the news reached Yu Guozhen's side, his face suddenly sank: Longmen Island is one of the most important places in Xinxiang, and it is even mixed in, and judging from the clothes of those three people, it is very likely that they are the shipwrights on Longmen Island!

"It seems that there are a lot of people who have a heart." Yu Guozhen said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry first, investigate slowly, and deal with the people in the future first, the Zheng family and the Dutch are attacking together, and they have seized a good opportunity!" ”

At this time, in his telescope line of sight, he could already see the enemy's fleet, which almost occupied a corner of the ocean, proving that the attack was not a partial division!
