At noon, when the banquet dispersed, Luo Zhang also left in a hurry, taking Wu Shaobin towards the shipyard. Calculating the time, the high-sea ship should be completed today, so naturally he, the director of the shipyard department, had to go and take a look.

When Luo Zhang arrived at the shipyard, a huge sea-going ship was quietly docked in the dock, and the launch test had already begun.

Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Mr. Ma came up to him with a smile on his face.

"Sir, are you here to see the ship?"

Luo Zhang nodded slightly and walked toward the distant sea ship.

"Sir, we have tried launching the ship into the water, and there is no problem at all. Now it is time to sail out of the dock and go to the sea to try it!" There was an unexplainable excitement in Ma Lao's eyes.

Only they themselves know the effort that their shipyard company put into building high-sea ships.

The sadness in it cannot be explained to outsiders.

And all the credit was brought by Luo Zhang. If it weren't for Luo Zhang's help, their shipyard department would have been disbanded long ago. Let alone building high-sea ships, they might not be able to build offshore ships.

"Then give it a try. Take the ship to the sea. You first go to the Royal Navy to call some people and let Liu Renyuan personally take the helm to test it!" Luo Zhang gave the order.

Mr. Ma had to hurry up and give orders for execution.

Luo Zhang boarded the high-sea ship and took a walk around the ship.

The sea-going ship has been built, but the weapon facilities have not yet been assembled, and the ship will not be assembled until the test of the ship is completed.

After a while, Liu Renyuan rushed over with nearly a hundred sailors.

He only came back these two days. He didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, so he naturally rushed over as soon as possible.

When he saw the huge high-sea ship, Liu Renyuan was shocked on the spot even with his extensive experience. He looked at the huge high-sea ship with shining eyes and swallowed his saliva.

"Old Liu, how are you? Is this boat powerful enough?" Luo Zhang came over and patted Liu Renyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Sir... this boat is so big!" Liu Renyuan exclaimed.

"Of course it's big. This is a high-sea ship. It's not big. How can it go to the high seas and not be overturned by the waves?" Luo Zhang said eloquently.

"Sir, you called me here because..." Liu Renyuan pointed to the ship in the distant sea.

"Yes, I asked you to come here to try out this high-sea ship. This is the first high-sea ship. Naturally, it needs to be tested. Only if there are no problems in the test, can more high-sea ships be built in the future!"

Luo Zhang said with a solemn tone.

"You should know what happened at Quanzhou Port, right? Although our Royal Navy won that battle, it was a tragic victory. The entire army lost more than 1,500 people. You should know how important every sailor of the Royal Navy is.

It is so precious that more than 1,500 people died at once. How serious it is. This is a shame for our Royal Navy!"

"There are more than 1,500 people. Although I can give them a thousand tael subsidy for each family who died in the war, I can never buy their lives back. Every life represents a family. I don't want this.

Things happen again, so the high seas ship is the top priority! It must be successful, so you have to be serious about this test, pay attention to any problems, and come back to report. Of course, if there are no problems, it is best. Now, everything

I'll leave it to you!" Luo Zhang said, patting Liu Renyuan on the shoulder.

Liu Renyuan also had a serious look on his face. After listening to Luo Zhang's words, his previous excitement suddenly disappeared. He nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will go all out this time!"

"Go ahead, take your people on board, get familiar with it carefully before sailing away!" Luo Zhang waved his hand.

Half an hour later, Luo Zhang watched the distant sea ship sail away from the port. The big stone he was holding in his heart was relieved. As for letting go completely, he had to wait for Liu Renyuan to return safely.

After leaving the shipyard, before Luo Zhang went to the ferrosilicon mine to check the construction status of the artillery, he heard a report from his subordinates: "Sir, the fleets of Liu Rengui and Du Shuang have returned and are heading to the shipyard first.

March!"

Luo Zhang was stunned when he heard the news, but after calculating the time, it was time for them to come back, and then turned around and headed towards the shipyard.

As soon as he returned to the shipyard, he saw two fleets slowly approaching the shipyard. Luo Zhang looked a little ugly when he saw the approaching ship.

Almost every ship was riddled with scars. It was obvious that these were scars caused by the battle in Quanzhou Port, and they could not be repaired in Quanzhou Port, so they had to return to Chang'an with these scars.

When the ships were all parked, the officers and soldiers on board got off the warship one after another and gathered together outside the shipyard. Liu Rengui and Du Shuang walked up to Luo Zhang with a smile and greeted Luo Zhang.

Seeing the two of them laughing and joking, Luo Zhang's face didn't look very good.

Seeing this, the two of them quickly suppressed their smiles and stood aside, not daring to say a word.

"Do you think you won the battle?" Luo Zhang glanced at the two of them and asked.

"No!" Liu Rengui said hurriedly.

"No? I see you are smiling happily!" Luo Zhang snorted.

Liu Rengui and Du Shuang did not dare to talk to each other, as they could already hear the unhappiness in Luo Zhang's heart.

"More than 1,500 naval soldiers, you are fighting so hard, but do you think about the lives of these people?" Luo Zhang reprimanded.

Liu Rengui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"What? Do you think you are wronged? Do you think you are powerful? Do you think these people's deaths are worth it?" Luo Zhang asked questions one after another.

"I already know the details of this naval battle. So many people shouldn't have died, but what about you? You think that with your bravery, you won't be afraid of the enemy and charge forward!"

"This is stupid, downright stupid!!!"

"Don't be dissatisfied. If it were me, it would be impossible for me to use my own shortcomings to touch the enemy's strong points. If you didn't have the iron knot, could you win this time? Impossible, you don't know where your advantages are.

, instead of taking advantage of the situation to fight the enemy, which resulted in such huge losses this time!"

"Sir, it's all my fault this time. I was the one who led the attack first. If it wasn't me, Master Liu wouldn't be forced to participate. If you want to punish me, punish me!" Du Shuang said with his head hanging down.
Chapter completed!
