"Vomit ......" At this moment, Ge Xin held on to the railing on the deck with both hands and vomited at the blue sea.

Like Ge Xin, there are not a few people who are seasick, and then they lie on the deck like dead dogs, not wanting to move.

Of course, Ge Xin's seasickness is more serious, and the relatively light ones are rare.

At this time, he only felt that his head was groggy, and he was lying weakly in his room, like a salted fish that had been salted, and he didn't even have the strength to turn over.

The 10,000 soldiers brought by Liu Tai, they came in boats with the waves crashing one after another, and for some reason they couldn't avoid seasickness, but some were a little heavier and some were a little lighter.

"It seems that people who have not received water training can go directly to the ocean by boat, and they are afraid that something big will happen!"

Tian Yu couldn't help but sigh, although when he first trained the navy, Tian Yu also found that the soldiers were a little seasick.

But they are slowly training at sea, so seasickness is not very noticeable.

In addition, in order to avoid others from detecting the situation of the ships, the ships are only practicing in the relatively calm Jiaozhou Bay.

Nowadays, it is really transported thousands of miles by sea, and the shipping intensity brought by this is completely different.

Not to mention, the dizziness from the lapping of waves is much stronger than that of shipping in Jiaozhou Bay.

"After the soldiers arrive in Langya County, I am afraid that they will have to rest for a day!" Liu Tai looked at the scene in front of him and said,

"Those soldiers of the engineering battalion who are responsible for assembling siege weapons also need to come to the ship to sit on the ship and try the wind and waves of the sea when they go back!"

"Indeed." Tian Yu also nodded approvingly, and then said,

"When I drove in Jiaozhou Bay, the farthest was only to the surrounding islands, and I didn't feel anything, but now I really have a long-distance offshore voyage, and I know that this road is not easy."

At this moment, the big boat traveled by Tian Yu and Liu Tai suddenly shook violently.

The two of them immediately grabbed the railing beside them, which could stabilize their bodies, and the whole ship stopped at this time.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tai's brows furrowed, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Tian Yu.

Tian Yu's face changed, and he didn't panic, he immediately asked his men to investigate, and soon a soldier came from the cabin to report,

"Qiqi Jungong, the ship has hit the rocks, General Su has sent the damage management force to the cabin of the accident to repair urgently, at most one hour, the ship can operate normally!"

Liu Tai knew that Su Jun sent the soldiers over to appease him, so as to avoid the panic of the soldiers.

Truth be told, although his ship uses third-century technology, many of the ideas in it are ahead of their time.

Don't say it, the first is the sealed cabin technology, which is one of the core technologies of this ship, and it is precisely because of the sealed cabin technology that the space in the cabin is isolated in an orderly manner, so that the damage management force that has been set up by itself has the significance of emergency repair.

Otherwise, if there is a leak in one place, there will be a leak in the whole ship, and it will be impossible to save the whole ship.

However, with the sealing cabin technology, even if the bottom of the ship hits the reef, or is attacked by water ghosts, resulting in water leakage at the bottom, it can also be judged by sealing the sealed cabins one by one to determine where the problem is, and then repair the corresponding position.

Therefore, the sealed cabin system is almost a necessary technology for offshore vessels and ocean-going vessels.

Because this thing cooperates with the damage control force, it really creates enough fault tolerance for ships sailing in offshore waters.

Even if there are any unexplored reefs along the way, it will not let the ship sink directly.

Therefore, as long as the ship is not designed to be extremely unreasonable, it will capsize directly when it reaches the sea, basically bumping and bumping and not saying that it will reach the destination directly, but it can still be done if it is driven to the shore for repairs and continues to drive.

The shipping technology in China lasted until one or two thousand years, and even in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it was more only about wooden structures and manpower and wind power.

Even though there are many technologies to improve efficiency and ships are getting bigger and bigger, they are not revolutionary in nature, but more of a technological innovation.

This kind of innovation, the application of technology that can be achieved by the efforts of a whole generation, is like the ancient bow and crossbow can achieve the range and power of modern guns, but the gap in the industrial system represented behind the two is not the same thing at all.

And the so-called real leapfrog development, that is, the replacement of manpower with steam, the replacement of wood with steel, is the complete sublimation from kinetic energy to materials, which is definitely not a traverser who can complete the innovation with a few casual words.

Rather, it requires the joint efforts of the whole country and even the whole society to achieve a leap forward.

As for now, although on the surface it seems that a lot of things have happened during this voyage.

For example, what hit the reef, suddenly a big wave swept away to check the waterway of the light boat soldiers.

Another group of killer whales appeared, and the person who was swept away by the big wave was suddenly sent back, and everything was normal.

"I was not wrong just now, those orcas actually sent back the soldiers who were swept into the sea by the defeated waves?!"

Tian Yu looked at the scene in front of him and was a little stunned, if it wasn't for Liu Tai's order not to shoot, Tian Yu would have thought that these orcas wanted to eat their own soldiers.

Unexpectedly, they only dragged the soldiers back to a shipwreck, and did not bite their own soldiers.

The so-called orcas are actually killer whales, and Liu Tai remembers that these guys seem to be one of the few human-friendly creatures in the ocean.

It is rumored that it was because humans were their good friends before they evolved from the sea to the land in their previous lives.

And Liu Tai remembers that there was a boom in killer whales on the Internet, so that he knew a little bit about this kind of dolphin.

Therefore, Liu Tai stopped the water army from doing something to these little guys, believing that they would not make a move on the soldiers who fell into the water.

"These orcas rescued our soldiers first, and dumped the sea catches we caught these days to them to express our gratitude to them for saving the Han soldiers.

From now on, my soldiers, officials, and civilians at sea shall not capture orcas, or they shall be punished with imprisonment.

If an orca runs aground on the riverbank, and the people return it to the ocean, they can record it in the county records for encouragement.

These orcas treat our Han soldiers with kindness, so we will treat them with kindness.

In the future, if there are soldiers or people who go to sea and unfortunately fall into the sea, with these orcas, they may be able to pick up a life. ”

Liu Tai couldn't help but give orders to the officers and soldiers of the whole army.

Hearing Liu Tai's order, everyone present couldn't help but be in awe.

One by one, they took out the fish that they had caught in the sea with fishing nets in the past few days, and at the moment, they were dumped directly into the sea one by one.

And these killer whales didn't expect that there would be delicacies from the sky, and they all started to be good babies who were not picky eaters, and they ate so much that they gobbled up one by one, and the soldiers also watched it with relish.

Liu Tai watched the seafood of his fleet being feasted on by these killer whales, but he didn't feel any distress.

This time, in addition to wanting to explore a navigable channel, I also wanted to try some fishing nets.

After all, I plan to use these boats as fishery administration ships after they are retired in the future, so this time I will try to see if these nets can catch fish, and at the same time determine the development direction of the Navy after its retirement.

Liu Tai even planned to try whether his current ship could become a whaling ship.

But this kind of thing, as long as Liu Tai's mind is normal, then Liu Tai will not be allowed to do such a crazy thing in person.

However, now Liu Tai looked at the group of killer whales below and felt that if his team helped them much in the future, maybe these guys would really take their own team to find trouble with sperm whales.

But after thinking about it, I felt that although killer whales were relatively intelligent dolphins, they would not be so smart as to this extent, so I didn't take this matter to heart.

For Liu Tai, this is just a small episode encountered in the sea voyage, but for these soldiers who really experienced this incident, watching their comrades being swept into the sea by the sea, there were actually sea beasts coming out to save them, what is this not that they and others have been blessed by God.

The morale was much higher for a while, and those seasick soldiers only hated themselves for lying in the cabin and missing this scene, what else could prove Liu Tai's destiny more than this!

Like what kind of unicorn, what green dragon, what white tiger, what vermilion bird, these mythical things, where can they compare to Liu Tai going to sea, the soldiers fell into the water, there are really fairy beasts in the sea coming out to rescue, this is not what the destiny of heaven is!

Therefore, Liu Tai slept on the ship for a few days, and always felt that the soldiers on the ship looked at him strangely, and looked as if they could sacrifice at any time, which made Liu Tai a little confused.

After all, in Liu Tai's view, killer whales like to live in temperate and polar regions, close to the continental shelf, because it is now the Xiaoice River period, plus the time has also reached winter, so it is not strange to occasionally see killer whales along this coast of Shandong.

Liu Tai didn't think about it from the aspect of Shinto at all, at most, he felt that he could see killer whales to save people on his voyage this time, so he felt that it was a bit worthwhile.

But Liu Tai's behavior that is taken for granted is completely different in this era when Xuandao is prevalent.

After all, Liu Tai only let his soldiers recite the Book of Han, not Democracy and Science.

For these soldiers, Liu Tai is also a person with the endorsement of the gods behind him, and these orcas are the best proof of this.

These killer whales have to be said to be really smart, and after they found that there seemed to be fish to eat after following the big ship, they decisively followed behind the ship.

Along the way, they will even chase the fish into the ship's fishing nets, and take advantage of the situation for themselves.

Or if there are soldiers who fall into the water, they will also take the initiative to come over to support the soldiers who fall into the water.

As long as these jobs are done, Liu Tai directly asked the soldiers to give the corresponding sea catches, so as to strengthen their impression of saving people in the sea.

And the soldiers are even more happy, after all, who doesn't want to be able to have an extra life at sea.

Of course, these are just small episodes on Liu Tai's road, and Liu Tai's ships stop and go, repair and repair.

Originally, it took one or two days to travel, but in fact, there was only one Chengyang County plus a part of the coastline of Donghai County, but it was a distance of almost a week, and when you arrived at the destination, you could even see the island of Lianyungang in this era.

And the reason for such a long journey is that no large ships have walked through it, only light boats and sterns occasionally walk by to explore.

Now that the fourth-generation ship has been researched, and I have personally walked such a journey, this is how cold and warm I know.

As for why it is a fourth-generation ship, it is because the first three generations have become a thing of the past, and they are all sunk in different places.

It was not until the sealing cabin technology and damage management force were completely perfected that there was a fourth-generation ship that could sail on the sea.

And the fourth-generation ship has not really walked through this waterway, so there is no accurate data on the draft in the whole process, the center of gravity of shipping, damage management and maintenance, etc.

In many waters where it is clear that light boats and ships can easily shuttle, these fourth-generation ships have either hit the reef, stuck in the road, and even have whirlpools against the current.

In short, it is difficult to draw conclusions about many things without going through it yourself.

And this waterway, at least Chengyang County is still in the hands of Liu Tai, which belongs to Qingzhou's sphere of influence.

Even so, this waterway is still so bumpy, so thinking about how many things will happen if this fleet directly attacks Youzhou, Liu Tai is afraid that it will be even more of a headache.

Even so, Liu Tai still chose to vigorously develop the navy and shipping.

The reason is very simple, as Mr. Lu Xun said, "There is no road in this world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road." ”

And the same is true of maritime shipping.

If you don't go through these waterways, then this area will always be full of reefs, and it will be a fog for yourself.

But the more the seaway goes, the more these reefs are touched, the reefs will be smashed, the waterways will be opened, and as long as the waterways are opened, the benefits derived from them will naturally be rich.

It's as if East Asia always envied Europe and the United States for taking the lead in opening the era of great navigation, but the era of exploration was not achieved overnight.

It also requires generations of adventurers and robbers to gamble their lives to carve out one passage after another.

Liu Tai knows very well that he is the only person who really attaches importance to the ocean in the whole of China, and he hopes to leave a part of the ocean's genes to Huaxia.

In order for China to not fall behind in the Age of Discovery, the Bohai Sea must become China's inland sea, and it must be truly developed around the Bohai Sea.

It's not a question of how much it's worth, or whether it's worth it.

But if the entire Bohai Sea can't become its own basic disk, then even if it unifies the world, there is no way for the world to go straight to the ocean genes, which is the key problem.

Otherwise, the history of China is long, and there is no more than oneself, and one less is not less, is there a lack of people to unify the world? 、

At most, another three hundred years of chaos will be followed, and then Yang Jian, Li Shimin and others will naturally come forward to unify the world.

Therefore, I must take the entire Bohai Sea into my own hands, build the interest chain of the entire Bohai Economic Circle as much as possible, and then make it the basic plate for my own conquest of the world.

This makes even if China is divided in the future, it is necessary to let the world know that there is no less than the foundation of the imperial industry in the Guanzhong Plain.

So as to ensure that the genes that belong to the ocean are deeply rooted in the blood of China.

At that time, even if the West takes the lead in carrying out the Great Voyage again, China will not despise the interests of the sea!

And now this fourth-generation ship that can sail near the sea and send itself all the way to the East China Sea Country is the beginning of his dream and plan.

Liu Tai's feet stepped on the beach, and he was sure that this time the sail would go smoothly!

Of course, look at the soldiers who are seasick all the way here, they can't organize themselves, so let's rest for a day first!
