Chapter 483: Stone Boat?

The Soochow "water ghosts" tried their best to chisel the bottom of the ship, but they sadly found that no matter how hard they tried, the bottom of the ship did not move, as if it were chiseled into a stone.

The fastest updated novels used to be difficult for them to dig boats, but with each hammer, they could still chisel off a piece of veneer.

Even if the bottom of such a large warship is very thick, or even more than a layer of wood, but if it takes a long time, it can still be chiseled.

The premise is that every time you chisel down, there will be a little harvest, there will be a little progress, as long as there is progress, even if the material used to make these ships is hardwood, and the speed of chiseling is a little slower, but as long as you persevere, there will always be a time to chisel through.

However, the present situation was completely contrary to their expectations, and the bottom of these ships was a lump of stones, and every time they chiseled down, only a little dust was chiseled, and at this rate of progress, it was estimated that they would not be able to chisel through a single ship until next year.

Five minutes passed quickly, and there were "water ghosts" one after another

Unable to hold on, they quickly swam away from the six ships, out of the view of the guards on board, while also dodging the scout ships patrolling nearby, reaching the nearby dark area, and then quickly surfaced, gasping for air.

The sides of these six ships are hung with windproof lanterns, and the lighting range of these lanterns is the field of vision of the guards on the ship.

They must swim out of this range to rise to the surface, or they will be spotted immediately.

Getting out of this range was only the first step, and it was a difficult task for them to avoid the numerous patrol boats in the vicinity.

If in normal times, these "water ghosts"

They can still do this calmly, but now they are about to lose their breath, and if they can't surface in time to breathe, they are likely to drown in the water.

Fortunately, the patrol boats are hung with windproof lanterns, and they are as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the dark.

It's still possible to find out their savings in time.

Several "Water Ghosts"

After paying the price of drinking a stomach full of water, he finally surfaced in the dark area to breathe.

"Huhuhuhu"

A group of Soochow "water ghosts"

Floated his head out ~ of the water, panting desperately, and the sound he made was like pulling a bellows.

In addition to this, they were also pale-faced, looking at each other.

Originally, it was right that their faces should be flushed, but the reality of the situation made their hearts sink to the bottom, and their faces were naturally not much better.

They never imagined that the enemy's ships would be stone-shelled, and wouldn't the stones sink as soon as they were put into the water?

When will stone also be used for shipbuilding?

This kind of thing is simply incredible, is it true that the legend of the little emperor of Shu Han is the true son of heaven and is blessed by all gods?

Otherwise, how could such an evil thing appear?

Stone boat, who believes this?

If they dare to go back and tell people that the enemy's ship is made of stone, they may be considered to be suffering from madness, and if they dare to report the matter to the general, the general will definitely think that they are deliberately shirking their responsibilities, making excuses for the failure of their operation, and correcting them on the spot.

With the large application of cement in Shuhan, especially many cities have been used to build city walls and pave roads, the magical function of this thing has been transmitted to the people.

However, in this era, the dissemination of information among the people was very backward, and the only media was the newspaper run by Shu Han.

However, Shu Han's newspapers were illegal publications in Wei and Wu, and were inaccessible to ordinary people.

Therefore, in Wei and Wu, the people who knew about the miraculous material of cement were limited to the high-ranking members of the military who were officials and some businessmen.

The imperial courts of both countries sent a large number of spies to Shu Han, and the official personnel naturally knew about some of Shu Han's new products.

And businessmen, their sense of touch is also very sensitive, they go from south to north, driving the circulation of goods, but also driving the circulation of information.

Not only did they know about the existence of cement, but they also coveted this magical thing, and they wanted to smuggle it to Wei and Wu to sell.

However, although cement is not a military-controlled material, this kind of thing is a scarce commodity, and Shu Han itself is not enough, how can it be exported to others?

Therefore, those businessmen can only look at the ocean and sigh.

The merchants were not able to bring cement to Wei and Wu to sell, but they brought the news of cement to the two countries.

However, after all, the circle of businessmen is limited, and this kind of word-of-mouth transmission is limited to some people who are familiar with those businessmen, and ordinary people are relatively closed to the news, and the cement has not appeared for a long time, which makes many people still not know the storage of cement.

The army, on the other hand, is a special situation.

Every country has very strict control over the military, and this control includes not only the general military discipline, but also the control of ideas and the blockade of information.

Especially the "Water Ghost Team"

The elite units of this army, or special forces, are controlled more strictly by Soochow.

Naturally, the high-level officials of Eastern Wu would not tell them all kinds of new things that appeared in Shu Han, because once they learned that so many magical things appeared in Shu Han, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not think nonsense.

Due to the repeated appearance of the legendary "divine objects" in Shu Han

, the appearance of things that are impossible in the world, coupled with the propaganda department's unremitting propaganda, makes many people believe that Liu Hou is indeed the true son of heaven sent down to save the world.

In order to avoid wavering the morale of the army, the Eastern Wu tried to block the information of the outside world from the army, so that they could not know the situation of Shu Han, which made the soldiers of the army not even know the materials used to pave the road in Shu Han.

As the saying goes, if you see less and see more strange things, you will feel very strange, if you see too much and get used to it, you will naturally not feel anything strange.

These Soochow "water ghosts"

I have never seen or heard of cement, but now I suddenly see this kind of thing, and it is used to build warships, so I am naturally surprised and inexplicable.

This can be regarded as the evil result of the deliberate blockade of information by the high-level of Dongwu, the defense of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and when it comes to settling the general account, the wrong things done in front will reap the consequences, Ling Lie and Zhang Cheng finally ate this bitter fruit for Dongwu.

Just Soochow "water ghost"

When they were demoralized and at a loss, the captain played his due role, only to see him reprimand everyone in a low voice, and swore to everyone that this must be a trick of the Shu people, after all, it is a fantasy to use stones to make a boat (although there was no Arabian Nights at that time), so this must be fake, so let everyone not believe it.

In the end, he encouraged everyone again, and then asked everyone to continue their efforts, and then take turns to sink to the bottom of the water to scuttle the boat.

He believes, and calls on everyone to believe, that as long as they persevere, they will succeed.

To this end, he also told a number of idioms and allusions such as grinding the iron pestle into a needle, filling the seawater, dripping water, etc., to strengthen his persuasiveness.

At his instigation, the "water ghosts"

They mustered up their courage and sank to the bottom of the ship again, continuing their mission that they were destined to fail.
