Chapter 440: Heading to Yecheng, Ship Gun Blueprints
Lin Chuan took Cao Jie's hand and stood on the bow deck together, looking at the boundless sea.
The oncoming sea breeze gently blew the clothes of the two, and Cao Jie and Lin Chuan were quietly enjoying the good time at this moment.
Jiang Wei and Cao Chong naturally didn't run to Lin Chuan and Cao Jie's side, the two of them were now on the deck on the right side of the treasure ship, studying how many naval guns could be placed here, and talking about how they would react when the treasure ship appeared on the shores of other countries.
"Cangshu, on the deck of this treasure ship, at least ten naval guns can be placed, and no matter what kind of warship the others are, if a salvo is fired, the ship will definitely be destroyed and killed!"
Jiang Wei said very confidently to Cao Chong.
Of course, Cao Chong knew that Jiang Wei and Deng Ai relied on the power of Shenwei cannons in Goguryeo to break through all the cities in Goguryeo one by one in ten days, and he was naturally very convinced of Jiang Wei's statement.
However, Cao Chong hadn't seen the power of the Shenwei cannon with his own eyes after all, so he asked Jiang Wei: "Boyo, the power of that naval cannon should be on par with the Shenwei cannon, right?" ”
"Of course!"
Although the naval cannon has not yet been developed, Jiang Wei firmly believes that there will be no problem with any invention made by his teacher Lin Chuan.
At this time, even Cao Chong, who has been serving as the principal of Hanzhong Vocational Training College, after listening to Jiang Wei's description at this time, also wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful the treasure ship could be after installing naval guns.
Unlike Lin Chuan and Cao Jie enjoying a comfortable time, and unlike Cao Chong and Jiang Wei discussing the power of the treasure ship and naval guns, Captain Yang and a group of shipyard craftsmen were busy on the treasure ship at this time to conduct detailed inspections.
"Is there a problem with the cabin and keel?"
"Back to the captain, there is no problem!"
"Good!"
Captain Yang led the craftsmen to inspect the treasure ship inside and out, but found no obvious problems for the time being.
It was only at this time that Captain Yang's heart really breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know the construction of this treasure ship, but Cao Cao, the king of Wei, personally ordered himself, and he also received the full support of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, if there was a big problem in the process of the trial of the treasure ship, not only did he have no way to explain to Lin Chuan on the ship, but he could not explain to Cao Cao, the king of Wei.
However, after completing the inspection, Captain Yang is now ready to ask Cao Cao, the king of Wei, for credit.
Before the sun set, the treasure ship finally returned to the dock in the port of Kure.
Lin Chuan took Cao Jie's hand again and walked off the treasure ship together.
Jiang Wei and Cao Chong disembarked together with a smile and a smile.
Next, Captain Yang and the craftsmen of Wujun Shipyard will once again conduct a detailed inspection of the entire treasure ship inside and out to prevent hidden dangers in the hull.
After saying goodbye to Captain Yang, Lin Chuan and his entourage left the Wujun Shipyard with Liu Ba and returned to the Wujun Branch.
After returning to the Wu County Branch, the shopkeeper of the Wu County Branch prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lin Chuan and others.
During the dinner, Lin Chuan once again mentioned the trial voyage of the treasure ship to everyone in the banquet.
"On the whole, the construction of treasure ships can be said to be very successful.
The next step is to start building treasure ships at various shipyards in Yangzhou to prepare for maritime trade.
At the beginning of this year, the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College and the renovation of water conservancy facilities will be carried out at the same time in Yangzhou.
Therefore, the construction of the new Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou will begin next spring.
At that time, a new batch of students from Hanzhong Vocational Training College will also graduate.
When the construction of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and production base in Yangzhou is completed, the graduates of Hanzhong Vocational Training College can go directly to the Hanzhong branch and production base to start work. ”
After Lin Chuan finished speaking, Liu Ba also replied: "I will follow the arrangement of the prince." ”
After the dinner, Lin Chuan said to Jiang Wei and Cao Chong: "We will stay in the Wujun branch for another three days, and then we will leave for Yecheng.
If you still want to go to the Kure Shipyard, you can do it yourself. ”
Jiang Wei and Cao Chong said happily to Lin Chuan when they heard this: "Okay teacher, we must return to the Wu County Branch before we go to Yecheng!" ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Wei and Cao Chong came to the Wujun Shipyard again together, watching Captain Yang and the shipyard craftsmen conduct a detailed inspection of the treasure ship.
Lin Chuan and Cao Jie had a good time in Wu County during these two days.
The two of them who have lived in Hanzhong for a long time are strolling on the beach with the sunset at this time.
"Lang Jun, I really want to build a mansion by the sea, and come here every winter to live for a while."
Cao Jie looked at the red burning clouds in the sky, and said to Lin Chuan yearningly.
"Since you like Jie'er, then I'll let Zichu build a mansion for us here while building the Hanzhong branch and production base!"
After Lin Chuan heard Cao Jie's hope, he immediately decided to build a mansion in Wu County.
Cao Jie didn't expect Lin Chuan to agree directly, and said happily to Lin Chuan: "Lang Jun, Jie'er is really happy!" ”
"Hahaha, it's good if you're happy!"
The two continued to stroll on the beach arm in arm, and Cao Jie leaned on Lin Chuan's shoulder, only feeling extremely happy.
The two days were fleeting, and the four of Lin Chuan, who had packed their bags again, embarked on the journey to Yecheng in the send-off of Liu Ba and the shopkeeper of Wu County.
After experiencing the trial voyage of the treasure ship, the four of Lin Chuan talked about the majesty of the treasure ship along the way, looking forward to the grand occasion after the development of maritime trade.
After arriving in Yecheng, Lin Chuan and the four of them went straight to the palace of King Wei.
Cao Cao was very surprised when he learned that Lin Chuan and the four people had arrived.
Also pleasantly surprised were Cao Chong's mother, Mrs. Huan, and Cao Jie's mother, Mrs. Bian.
After Cao Chong and Cao Jie greeted Cao Cao, they left the palace hall with Mrs. Huan and Mrs. Bian respectively.
In the end, in the main hall of the palace, only Cao Cao, Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei were left.
"Mr. Lin, Boyo, follow this king to the garden."
Cao Cao was in a very good mood today, and smiled at Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei.
Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei accompanied Cao Cao to the garden, and while walking, they mentioned to Cao Cao the successful launch of the Yangzhou Wujun treasure ship.
"It's so good, this king remembers Captain Yang's merits, hahaha!"
After Cao Cao listened to Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei talk about the launch of the treasure ship for sea trials, he laughed heartily.
Then Lin Chuan took out the naval gun drawings that he had been holding in his arms and handed them to Cao Cao.
"Mr. Lin, what kind of new invention is this?"
After Cao Cao took the drawings, he asked Lin Chuan happily.
"King Wei, the invention on this drawing is a naval cannon used on the treasure ship!"
Then Lin Chuan explained to Cao Cao the difference between the naval cannon and the Shenwei cannon, and Cao Cao learned that this naval cannon was specially installed on the treasure ship, and the power was still huge, and the smile on his face was very obvious.
"Hahaha, with this cannon and treasure ship, I can go to this world! Hahaha! ”
