Just as Lin Yiqing estimated, at this time, Uehara Yusaku was carefully patrolling the ship with a new face.

In the past, when Lin Yiqing went out, he often chose a few outstanding students as his bodyguards, which was a rare honor for the students, and Uehara Yusaku knew that the teacher took good care of him, but he never asked himself to be his bodyguard, which became a regret in Uehara Yusaku's heart.

But on the day the teacher chooses the assistant, this regret is completely relegated to history.

Yusaku Uehara will always remember the day when everyone looked at him in amazement and envy.

From that day on, he vowed to use practical actions to be worthy of the glory brought to him by his teacher.

Now he is dutifully fulfilling his duty as a guard.

Yusaku Uehara made his rounds for a while, but he didn't notice anything unusual, he turned his head to look at the small open-air bar, and saw Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino looking at the sea there for a drink (the observation point he chose was very good, on the one hand, he could observe the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he did not let the protected person out of his sight), and he felt a wave of envy in his heart.

Lacking the love of his parents since he was a child, he likes to see this scene the most.

In the distance, a long whistle sounded, and Yusaku Uehara looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and saw a small black dot on the sea in the distance.

Soon, the small black dots continued to grow, and the outline of a warship gradually appeared on the surface of the sea.

Seeing the warship in front of him galloping across the sea like a galloping horse, Yusaku Uehara's eyes widened in surprise.

It wasn't the first time he had seen a ship or a warship at sea, but it was the first time he had seen a warship running so fast as the one in front of him.

In the open-air bar, Lin Yiqing also noticed the extremely fast warship, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Is this a warship of the Qianguo?" Chiho Kirino noticed that the mast of the warship was hanging high, and it was a golden dragon flag with a red background.

Lin Yiqing also noticed this dragon flag, which was different from the blue dragon swallowing sun flag of the Qing Empire in his impression of the original historical time and space, this was an all-red flag, and in the middle was a golden dragon playing with pearls.

Is this the national flag of the Qianguo?

Lin Yiqing remembered the dragon flagship team that defeated the Japanese Navy in his dream, and he couldn't help but get excited.

This Dragon Flag warship was still approaching at high speed, and Lin Yiqing saw the word "Feiting" written on the black copper nameplate on the hull, and knew that it was the name of this Dragon Flag warship.

Lin Yiqing thought it was a destroyer, but after carefully looking at the warship named "Feiting", he realized that this was a high-speed notification ship.

The line type of the "Thunder" high-speed notification ship was carefully designed by the chief engineer of the ship, Dashbo, and it lengthened the length of the "Meiyun" class (the total length reached 62.5 meters without the bow mast, and the "Meiyun" class was only 58 meters), and the width was shortened (from 7.48 meters to 7.3 meters in the "Meiyun" class), which was more conducive to high-speed navigation; the power system configuration was very trendy, using a British 2,000-horsepower three-rise composite steam turbine (an improved model of the "Weiyuan"-class main engine), and equipped with four automobile-type boilers. At that time, the three-rise composite steam turbine was also a novelty in Britain, and the British provided this kind of main engine to the shipmaster not only to counterbalance the influence of France in the shipyard, but also to use the Chinese warship as a "guinea pig" to test the new power system (and because the performance of the automobile boiler and the French double-head round high-pressure boiler was equal on paper at that time, the shipmaster adopted an eclectic approach when building the "Feiting"-class high-speed notification ship - the first ship "Feiting" and the second ship "Feiying" used automobile-type boilers, while the third ship "Feipeng" and the fourth ship "Feipeng" used it"Feihong" uses a French round high-pressure boiler). It is precisely with such a luxurious power configuration that the "Flying Thunder" has become an out-and-out high-speed ship (of course, the warship of this class has paid the price of living space for this, because most of the internal space of the hull is occupied by engines, boilers and coal bunkers, so that the space of the main cabin of the crew and the living quarters of the officers has been greatly compressed, and many crew members can only play hammocks in the open air, and being able to climb on the deck to breathe has also become a "welfare" that the sailors of this class of ships think about day and night).

At this time, Lin Yiqing judged that the "Flying Thunder" should have run at a top speed of nearly 20 knots, which can be said to be like "flying" on the sea!

Is this also Lin Yizhe's legacy to himself?

This high-speed warship quickly attracted the attention of the passengers on the "Amelia", and people got up one after another to come to the side of the ship to watch the style of this dragon flag warship, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but get up, came to the side of the ship, and looked at the warship speeding at high speed on the sea with eager eyes.

When his eyes fell on the flybridge of the warship, he saw a young Qianguo naval officer, who was wearing a royal blue Western-style naval uniform, draped in black on the outside and red on the inside, standing there as if he were cast in copper.

Lin Yiqing noticed that although the officer's military uniform was Western-style, the cloud pattern on the placket, the dragon pattern on the cuffs and the golden dragon on the round military hat were full of Chinese elements, which was not only a perfect combination of Chinese and Western cultures, but also looked very powerful and domineering.

Lin Yiqing also noticed that although the armament of this high-speed notification ship was relatively weak, with few gun emplacements and small guns, it was an advanced Krupp-type breech gun, and he could not help but admire the advanced weapons of the Qianguo Navy in this time and space.

This should also be the credit of Lin Yizhe, right?

At this time, the officer of the Qianguo Navy standing on the flybridge suddenly closed his eyes, opened his arms, and made a flying posture when he felt the "Flying Thunder" trembling slightly on the sea like an arrow from a string and a strong sea breeze blowing through his body.

Seeing this officer so intoxicated by the high speed of his warship, Lin Yiqing was not only amused, but also had a trace of envy in his heart.

He looked at the officer's face, and there was a flash of lightning in his heart.

This is Yang ......

He almost said the name.

He has always revered the naval officer who was the soul of the "Zhenyuan", the main ship of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty, and finally killed himself with a pistol when he failed in the Battle of Weihaiwei!

I never imagined that one day, I would be able to meet him in this way in this time and space.

At this moment, tears oozed from the corners of Lin Yiqing's eyes.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Chiho Kirino's voice sounded on the side, and Lin Yiqing came back to his senses.

Chiho Kirino noticed that Lin Yiqing's body was trembling slightly, and gently stroked his forehead with her hand with concern.
