Luan Yi later really arranged time to meet with Sima Yi.

On that day, the atmosphere was awkward. This is the first time that Luan Yi has talked to people in the mood of meeting her future son-in-law. For Sima Yi, this was the first time he had met the famous King of Qi, and this person was still the father of the person he liked, so he was inevitably nervous.

Two people sit in their seats, you look at me, I look at you, neither of them knows what to say.

Fortunately, Cai Yan was by Luan Yi's side, and used some topics to ease the atmosphere. "Is Master Sima okay?" "Madame Sima is still so good-looking, isn't she? Take the time to let Mrs. Sima come to the house as a guest. "Yunyun......

After talking more, Luan Yi gradually relaxed, and asked Sima Yi about his studies and his views on the current situation.

In this regard, Sima Yi's ability is speechless, and he speaks in a straightforward manner, showing a solid academic foundation. The understanding of the people's situation and the world's conditions is also simple and straightforward. Luan Yi was very satisfied.

The two chatted for most of the morning, and Sima Yi had lunch in the house before leaving the house to go home.

Looking at Sima Yi's departing back, Luan Shimeng tiptoed to Cai Yan's side and asked in a low voice: "Mother, what does my father think of Zhong Dage's people?" ”

Luan Yi's ears are so sensitive, and he listened to Luan Shimeng's words word for word. "It's really good to be good for you. Otherwise, no matter how good a person is, it is useless. ”

Luan Shimeng held Luan Yi's arm and said with a happy face: "Brother Zhong Da is good to me." ”

"What's a good way?" Luan Yi asked with a smile.

"Oops! How can this thing be opened? Luan Shimeng's face was flushed with shame.

Cai Yan said good things for Luan Shimeng, "Okay, Ziqi won't tease her." She turned to Luan Shimeng again and said, "Shimeng, you are not too young. I think I was already engaged to your father when I was so old. When will your brother Zhongda come to propose? ”

"Father, mother, did you agree to Brother Zhong Da marrying me?" Luan Shimeng asked.

Cai Yan pointed at the corner of Luan Yi's mouth and said, "Then you still need to ask?" You see, the answer is written on your father's face. ”

"That's it! If you don't stay in the big girl, if you want to marry, it's up to you! Luan Yi said this with an embarrassed face, patted his ass and walked out of the door.

Three days later, Sima Yi's father, Sima Jun and his wife, really came to the door to propose marriage. Luan Yi didn't refuse, but felt that it was too early to get married, and it could be regarded as an engagement for the time being, and Luan Shimeng would not hold a marriage until she turned seventeen two years later.

Sima Jun naturally had no objection to this.

During the chat, Luan Yi saw through Sima Jun's words that this person was knowledgeable and a person worthy of great responsibility. In the following days, he was slightly promoted, and was promoted from Chang'an Ling's position to Chaonei.

Spring comes to the east, cold comes to summer. Comfortable times always pass quickly.

In the early summer of the sixteenth year of the Han Dynasty, a piece of good news was sent to Chang'an City under the cover of the wings of the flying pigeon, "The first batch of big ships is about to be completed, and the day of launching is just around the corner." ”

Seeing this line of words, Luan Yi jumped up excitedly, like a child who has not grown up yet, holding Diao Chan's cheek and smacking hard. Then he arranged to accompany him in person, and set off for Donglai, Qingzhou on the same day - he wanted to witness the birth of the treasure ship with his own eyes.

Three months later, Luan Yi's horse team broke into the Donglai dock, dismounted and asked, "Mr. Huang, is the big ship built?" ”

The corner of Huang Chengyan's mouth, who rushed to hear the news, cracked to the back of his head, "The old minister lived up to the high expectations of King Qi and finally built the big ship." The sect leader didn't come, so the old minister didn't let it go into the water. ”

"Really, where?"

"Come with me!" Huang Chengyan pulled Luan Yi's sleeve and rushed to the dock.

The first thing that catches your eye here is the 12 huge docks standing side by side on the seashore, each 80 zhang long and 60 zhang wide, and the row is very spectacular.

Inside and outside the dock, thousands of craftsmen are working hard, or borrowing manpower cranes to carry wood, or using Luban to see and cut materials, the sound of sawing wood, the sound of "clanging" smashing nails, and the sound of boiling orders.

It stands to reason that these cacophony noises should be disgusting, but for Luan Yi, who is looking forward to seeing the face of the big ship, they are so pleasant to the ear.

At this time, the treasure ship that Luan Yi had been looking forward to for many years was parked in the dock, and when he looked up, these huge ships with a length of forty-four feet and four feet, a width of eighteen feet and a carrying capacity of eight hundred tons were erected in front of him like behemoths.

Where are the boats, they are clearly moving fortresses.

Each treasure ship has more than 700 cabins, of which more than 50 large cabins are located on the deck, rest rooms, diagnosis and treatment rooms, granaries and baggage warehouses for officers and soldiers. The more than 20 cabins on the two floors of the deck are the captain's room, the staff room and the dining room.

The ship's power system is provided by ten sails, each tied to five masts that can only be embraced by four people. Among them, the two masts in the middle each carry three sails, and the two heads and tails have two sails each. The sail is fixed with a triangular frame structure, and then it is difficult to assemble it into a rectangle as needed, so as to ensure the stiffness of the mast.

According to Luan Yi's proposal, there were four ambulance boats on both sides of the treasure ship, each as big as a ship sailing in the river, and each ship could carry 110 people, which could be used to survive in the event of a shipwreck at sea and to log in for combat.

In terms of weapons, the treasure ship can be said to be armed to the teeth. There is a fixed Thunderbolt stone generator at the front of the central deck and directly above the shipbuilding. There are also special grilles on both sides of the hull - that is, the firing ports of the guns on later European warships, and each treasure ship has eighty-one grilles on one side, and it is not difficult to see the figure of Zhuge Repeater through the dark holes of the grille.

And now the Zhuge Repeater has been fully upgraded under the skillful changes of the craftsmen of the Ordnance Institute. Most obviously, during the first war against the Qiang people, it was very difficult for Zhuge Lian's crossbow to wind up after releasing twelve crossbow arrows. Nowadays, Luan Yi uses the principle of car assistance in later generations to solve this problem very well, and uses the force reduction effect of gears to greatly reduce the difficulty of winding.

In addition, Pu Yuan also redesigned the arrow magazine of the Zhuge Repeater, quadrupling the size of the arrow box with only twelve pieces, thus ensuring the effect of four consecutive shots.

In addition to the Zhuge Repeater, there is another weapon that has made its debut on the treasure ship - artillery!

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's artillery, at most it's called an earthen cannon. The principle was borrowed by Luan Yi from the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War Formation.

The overall structure of the earthen cannon is very simple, from a distance it looks like a copper cylinder, which looks exactly the same as the oil barrel of later generations, but the texture is relatively thick. Gunpowder is implanted at the bottom of the copper cylinder, a fuse is implanted, a copper plate is tiled on top of the gunpowder, an explosive bag full of explosives is placed on top of the copper plate, and the fuses of the explosive bag and the copper cylinder are ignited. The explosives inside the barrel explode, pushing the explosive pack far away with the huge impact force after the explosion.

At this point, the lead of the explosive package is exhausted, and the explosive package immediately explodes, resulting in mass destruction.

As a new thing that was just developed last year, Luan Yi has been hiding the earth cannon snow. Its advantages are obvious, the range is even greater than that of the Thunderbolt, reaching a distance of almost two hundred paces, but its disadvantages are also fatal. In addition, due to the limited carrying weight, the explosive package is easily affected by air resistance and wind after being discharged, and the accuracy is unsatisfactory.

However, in any case, it is also the most advanced pure thermal weapon of this era, and it is the prototype of a real cannon, which has full advantages for long-range operations, especially naval operations. Luan Yi spent a year building a thousand units, almost all of which were used to arm the treasure ship.

After a day in the dock, Luan Yi didn't sleep that night.

Early the next morning, he called Tai Shici, who was training the navy in Donglai, to participate in the launching ceremony of the treasure ship.

Bathed in the scorching sea breeze in the early morning, Luan Yi stepped on the high platform by the sea.

Under the high platform, more than 30,000 craftsmen saw Luan Yiru's white robe, knelt on the ground and bowed, and the mountain called to see the sect leader.

"Get up! Get up! The four numbers "1840" suddenly appeared in Luan Yi's mind, in that era of changing world situations, ignorant China had almost no coastal defense. As a result, the warships of the European powers easily shuttled through our forests, bringing a century of humiliating history to China in later generations. Now, the advent of the treasure ship will sweep away all the humiliation of the Chinese nation, and at the end of the second century AD, the Chinese nation has the most powerful warship in the world, and is about to form a powerful fleet from such a treasure ship.

Conquering the sea means conquering the world, with a treasure ship in hand, Luan Yi has the courage to make a big article on the world map.

Luan Yi couldn't help but leave tears of excitement, and he choked up: "After four years of building this big ship, you are all heroes of the Holy Sect and Chinese civilization. You don't have to worship me, I should worship you on behalf of the Holy Sect on behalf of tens of millions of Chinese children. With that, Luan Yi knelt down and kowtowed three times to the 30,000 craftsmen led by Huang Chengyan.

Seeing this scene, the 30,000 craftsmen present were shocked, and looked at each other, the sect leader actually knelt down for them! This being above 10,000 people knelt down for the ship he had built. What a blessing this is...... It is also an affirmation of their efforts over the years.

The hard work of the past is now swept away, and all that remains is the excitement after the great achievements.

Huang Chengyan and Tai Shici were also stunned. It took a long time to help Luan Yi who was prostrate on the ground to pick him up, "Sect Master, what are you doing!" We can't afford such a gift! ”

The 30,000 craftsmen were grateful, and shouted in unison, "Sect Master, please get up!" "Tears of gratitude were all over my face.

Later that day, Luan Yi called Tai Shici into his room, opened his mouth and asked, "Ziyi, how is your 12,000 navy training?" ”
