The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!

On July 18 of the second year of the second year, Nanhai County of Daqin governed Panyu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been a few months since the three counties of South Vietnam were pacified. All the livelihood of the people in the three counties of South Vietnam has gradually returned to normal, due to the relocation of all the South Vietnamese barbarians in the mountains and forests from the register, after the two disasters of heaven and man, only one county in the South China Sea has a population of nearly one million. Of course, this also includes Feng Zheng and Han Xin's 200,000 southbound road construction army.

In the past three months, the grain ships that have come down the river from Bashu have not stopped. It helped the people of the three counties of South Vietnam to survive the famine and rebuild their homes in the shortest possible time.

Yu Ziqi personally went into battle, more than 100,000 South Korean Navy and tens of thousands of people rushed to work day and night, but in just three months, the Pearl River wharf, which was originally destroyed due to the tsunami, has once again stood on the mouth of the Pearl River.

The new pier is several times larger than the previous one.

Next to the new quay, a shipyard is under construction. This shipyard standing at the mouth of the Pearl River in Panyu, with the shipyard in Huangxian County, Jiaodong County, Shandong Peninsula (near Penglai in Shandong in later generations), one east and one south, will become the two major shipbuilding bases of Daqin.

The shipyard in Panyu had just begun to be built, while the shipyard in Huangxian had already been selected and established during Huhai's secret tour to the east. Now, after more than a year, the construction of more than 100,000 refugees in several counties in Shandong was completed as early as a month.

Today, the shipyard's first ship, which is identical to the one used by Xu Fu when he went to sea, has begun construction under the command of Shangfang craftsmen. The new type of sea ship combined with the concept of Huhai watertight compartment, Shangfang craftsmen are also in the process of intense demonstration design.

The construction of sea ships, because the First Emperor had sent people to the sea three times and twice to find the elixir of life, the experience can be said to be extremely rich. In the "field of novels", the fastest update, in terms of full-text hand-typing technology, although it cannot be compared with later generations, but before the steam power came out, the technical level was not too different.

But Hu Hai only understands the watertight compartment. But that's enough. Just the concept of this watertight compartment is equivalent to directly making Daqin's shipbuilding technology leap for thousands of years.

After all, the emergence of a truly watertight compartment was in the Tang Empire, which was more than a thousand years later.

There are no technical difficulties, the only headache is the materials that the sea vessel needs.

Seagoing vessels need solid and resistant wood to seawater, and many of the wood cannot be mined and can be used directly, but needs to be specially treated.

This is also the reason why when the initial emperor sent people to sea, it took years to prepare.

Hu Hai knew that the shipyard in Huangxian County had many disadvantages compared to the Panyu shipyard, after all, the shipyard in Panyu was in South Vietnam, and there were not many other South Vietnam at this time, that is, there were more towering ancient trees.

In this regard, Huang County is much inferior. However, fortunately, many ancient trees were not cut down during the Qin period, and this problem could still be solved for a while.

When Li Xin and Xu Chuang pacify the northeast and build one or two more shipyards in Heilongjiang and Songhua River, then solid timber in the Greater Xing'anling and Xiaoxinganling areas can be cut down at any time, and then go down the Heilongjiang and Songhua Rivers, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

In a few years, when Vietnam has the fastest update and the full text is finalized, a shipyard can be established at the mouth of the Mekong River nearby, and ancient trees from the Indochina Peninsula can be cut down for shipbuilding.

After all, even in later generations, timber from the primeval jungles of the Northeast and Indochina was an excellent material for shipbuilding.

It all takes time, though. At present, we can only take one step at a time.

Today, 30,000 elite sailors selected from the 200,000 Southern Navy will set off from this wharf in more than 600 ships of various types, and will travel up the Pearl River and across the Yangtze River to Xianyang.

These 30,000 elite building captains of the Qin army belonged to Jia Han, the former captain of the Southern Navy Building.

Hu Hai didn't know much about Jia Han, and he was recommended to Hu Hai after being selected from the Southern Navy by Yu Ziqi according to Hu Hai's requirements.

The matter of building a navy has been placed on Hu Hai's desk, and now the world is decided, at least for a few years, as long as Hu Hai does not want to, there will basically be no war, and this time is just used to prepare for the construction of the navy that Hu Hai has been planning for a long time.

In the pre-Qin era, the vast ocean, especially the far sea, could be said to be a forbidden area for human beings. How much combat power can Lou Chuanshi have, including Wei Yu, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Zhang Han, the generals are actually not very optimistic.

At this time, only Hu Hai thought that he had built a navy. The rest, such as Wei Yu and others, still refer to the great naval cause that Hu Hai has been building by Lou Chuanshi.

After all, even if it is true as the emperor said, there are still Europe, America, and so on outside the territory of Great Qin, but it is too much hope to cross the vast ocean where tsunamis and storms will occur at any time.

On the ocean, there is no heaven or earth. The surnames of all the soldiers were tied to the ship, and the whole army died if the ship was overturned.

And by land, there is not necessarily such a danger. Therefore, although Wei Yi and others did not explicitly oppose Hu Hai, they proposed a more cautious method, that is, to first form a navy of tens of thousands of people, go to sea to find out some experience, and then try to follow-up.

This plan can be said to be the safest. What's more, Hu Hai didn't plan to build too many navies at once, at this time, everywhere was still in a wild place, even if the navy was established, where could it be colonized? And if you want to cross the ocean, it is even more impossible.

Of course, everything is developing, and with the beginning, as long as you are properly motivated, you will definitely be able to make Daqin's navigation technology show explosive development, and let Daqin's navigation era come sooner.

In some places, some continents can only cross the sea in order to leave traces that belong to Daqin and China.

Jia Han's 30,000-strong army, which is completely composed of Lou boat soldiers who are proficient in water surnames and familiar with water warfare, will be the first real navy in the history of Great Qin and even the world. After the 30,000 of them arrived in Xianyang, they would set off from Hanguguan to Huangxian under the leadership of Shangfang craftsmen for a period of time.

In Huang County, there are not only shipyards, but also wharves are naturally a must-have. There, it will be the first base of the Great Qin Navy. The Bohai Bay, where the wind and waves are not too high, is obviously the most suitable for these 30,000 Lou boat soldiers who are already proficient in the water surname to be familiar with sea conditions and naval battles.

For the first navy of Great Qin, Hu Hai has prepared a number for them, Teng Snake.

As for the commander of the Teng Snake Army, for Jia Han, the captain of the Lou boat recommended by Yu Ziqi, if nothing else, the Teng Snake General is already in his pocket. Anyway, it is also the first time that the eldest brother recommended him, and Hu Hai still has to save this face for Yu Zi. Of course, if Jia Han is really not suitable, then Hu Hai will naturally not show mercy, and whether to withdraw or not is only in his thoughts.

Hundreds of boats left the wharf slowly and orderly in turn, and began to go up the Pearl River to Xianyang.
