The launch of the warship was a major event, and the news quickly reached the ears of many people, and even Zheng Shicheng took time out of his busy schedule to come and see.

Qin Lao commanded the people to push the warship into the Lanjiang River, and then invited Sheng Ze, Liang Cheng and others to board the ship, and then the five hundred soldiers who were fully loaded with the warship boarded.

"Can this ship hold five hundred people? Can you still run? The people on the shore who were watching the excitement muttered quietly.

Someone immediately replied, "You don't know this, do you?" It is said that this is made by the new military technology in northern Hubei Province, not only is there a lot of people pretending, but the speed is also very fast! ”

"It's not just fast, right? You see, the ship doesn't look like a big ......."

Ordinary warships, even including Zhao Wangjun's previous building ships, could only hold three hundred people at most, and they were huge, which was very unfavorable for fighting on the water.

But the newly built ship of the Northern Hubei Army looks different.

Qin Lao naturally didn't hear these discussions, he was standing in the command room in high spirits, giving the order to sail.

"Look, the ship is going upstream!" The people on the shore exclaimed.

Generally, the test of the water is to go down the river first to prevent any accidents.

But the warship of the Northern Hubei Army went directly upstream, which made the masses who did not know the truth a little surprised.

Qin Lao didn't explain, but just felt the current situation carefully and carefully.

The ship moved smoothly on the river, without great shaking or turbulence, more steadily than all the ships he had ever ridden.

The upper reaches of the Lanjiang River are snow-capped mountains that lie between Chenzhou and Ezhou.

"Elder Qin, what is the current situation of this warship?" Liang Cheng asked.

Although he had seen the drawings at the beginning, the ones he had made were still very different from the drawings, and he had just looked at them roughly and almost fainted.

Before Qin Lao could reply, Sheng Ze spoke, "This ship should be able to carry about seven hundred people when it is fully loaded, and the weapons are enough to annihilate five enemy ships, and there are still six high-energy weapons with empty mouths. ”

This ship was made after changing the drawings in the tool book given by Shen Qingqian, and it took a month and a half to experiment with the model alone, and after the model was fine, it began to do the test ship in equal proportions, and then there was the current warship.

And the construction of warships has always been a secret, except for a few generals who know about it, even the craftsmen are under closed management, and they can't return home until the warships are built.

Now that they have taken Chenzhou and are preparing to integrate the six northwestern states, there is no need to hide the warship, even if it is known by the imperial court, they will only think that it was the kind of warship in the past.

"Can you fit so many people? It's useless to have so many people when fighting on the water, why are they fighting with the enemy? Niu Manzi didn't know about the situation of the warship before, and he couldn't help but ask when he heard it.

Qin Lao answered him first, "There are twenty small warships prepared at the bottom of the cabin, each of which can carry twenty people, and the small warships are also equipped with gunpowder weapons and devices......"

Speaking of these, Qin Lao couldn't hold it back, so he simply told all the situation of the warship in one go, anyway, they are all their own people here, and there is nothing that can't be said.

Qin Lao took Sheng Ze and the others to the bottom of the cabin to inspect the small warship.

Small warships look simple on the surface, but in fact they are small and have all kinds of organs.

"I'm a mother, how much silver does this ship have to throw in?" The cow man sighed.

Speaking of silver, Sheng Ze and Liang Cheng's expressions were all stunned, can you not ask such an anxious question at this time?

At the same time, Shen Qingqian and Ling Yun were also rushing to the snow mountain, but they were riding horses from the shore.

"Sixth girl, let's go to the snow mountain now, can you bear it?" Ling Yun looked at Shen Qingqian's small body worriedly.
