When Gan Ning set up his navy, Long Fei had already made a plan. Since he wanted to form his own navy, he had to create an invincible navy. No! He wanted to build a navy that would dominate the world. Steel ships would definitely not work. That kind of navy would not work.
The technology was too complicated, and even the steelmaking technology of the late Han Dynasty did not meet the requirements. Even if it was built, it would be troublesome to maintain and maintain it. He thought of the Spanish three-masted sailboat. This kind of ship was made of wood, and the key parts were made of iron.
.When Long Fei gave the sketch he drew to Gan Ning, Gan Ning looked at it for a long time and didn’t know it was a ship.
Long Fei carefully explained all the theories he knew about ships, such as counterweight, waterline, displacement, the angle of the sails, the rudder, etc., which was enough for Gan Ning and others to explain for three days.
Three days and three nights. Fortunately, Gan Ning and others were all pirates and knew some theories about ships. Even so, the first ship built was an odd-looking guy, neither a sailboat nor a building ship. It had just been launched.
, before he could stand still, a wave hit him, and the whole ship swung to the left, and the tall mast directly capsized the ship.
The first giant ship capsized. Gan Ning, the boatmen and all the shipbuilding craftsmen were very frustrated. Although Long Fei was frustrated, he still encouraged everyone. He built more than a dozen ships in a row, all with the same result. Long Fei suddenly remembered his model
As for crafts, when I was in high school, my family didn’t have enough money to buy toys, but when I saw other people’s cars and airplanes, I felt itchy. So I started making my own. Starting with small bicycles, boats, cars, airplanes, tanks, warships, etc.
Models made of wood can be seen everywhere in my room. Who knows that my uncle is a carpenter?
After spending a whole month, Long Fei forgot all sleep and food to make a model of a three-masted sailboat. He threw it into Gan Ning's hand and said, "Take it and copy it." Gan Ning's jaw almost dropped when he saw this ship.
The model is not a decoration. Everything is ready. As long as there is a little wind, it can sail by itself. Long Fei demonstrated it to them one by one, and everyone suddenly understood.
In the next year, the shipyard in Wancheng placed Long Fei's ship model in a very tight place like a treasure, under the supervision of a dedicated person. All the parts on the model were enlarged according to size. When the last wooden wedge
When it was smashed into the wedge hole, a huge three-masted sailboat was basically formed. Under the expectation of everyone, Gan Ning knocked off the fixed pile at the stern, and the big ship slowly slid into the water.
The huge hulls collided back and forth on the river bank, causing water waves to hit the big ship, and the tall masts swayed very much. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing that all their efforts would be wasted like the previous ships. Gradually,
The water waves became smaller and smaller, but the big ship stood steadily in the river. With a cheer, everyone in the whole shipyard was excited, and everyone was silent in joy.
Later, the addition of Ma Jun made great changes to Long Fei's ship. Many decorative parts were removed and many practical things were added. Later, Wang Yue gave Long Fei a book, which was
The Mohist's equipment manufacturing chart is called "Moqi". Long Fei also modified the keel, the main component of the ship's hull. The original whole keel was scattered across five keels to increase the resistance of the ship.
This kind of ship has never been shown to anyone and has been preserved as Long Fei's secret weapon. When he came to Jiangdong this time, Long Fei specially gave Gan Ning a secret order and asked him to drive the Qinglong down the Yangtze River at night to conduct a great trial voyage. After
When Chai Sang came, Zhou Yu discovered some clues, but he felt that such a large ship could never be made by man. He sent people to trace it to no avail, so he didn't take it to heart. Until they entered the sea, the navy in Jiangdong did not take it to heart.
care.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Long Fei was high-spirited and patted the side of the ship. Jiang Qin looked excited. He was the captain of the Qinglong named by Long Fei. Among the Gan Ning brothers, Gan Ning could not leave as the commander-in-chief, and Zhou Tai was more than brave.
Pan Zhang was not very calm, and only Jiang Qin, the youngest, was brave and resourceful, so Long Fei appointed him as the captain of his first giant ship.
"Lord! Although there were some minor issues with this trial voyage, overall it was good!" Jiang Qin held up his first voyage diary and handed it to Long Fei: "This is the voyage diary written down according to the requirements of the lord. Please take a look, lord!"
"
Long Fei looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "Very good! Since there is no big problem, I think there is no need to go back. After sending us back to Jiangxia, we immediately turned around and headed to the sea along the edge of the land to Nanhai County. Such a big battle
The ship is sluggish in the river. I am going to reorganize a navy in the South China Sea. No, it should be called a navy. When we guys calm down, we will take the fleet to see what is on the other side of the sea!"
Some people are born to like adventure, and Jiang Qin is one of them. Although he is usually quiet, he is still a wild person at heart, otherwise he would not be brothers with pirates such as Gan Ning and Zhou Tai. After listening to Long Fei's words, he saw the sea
The vastness of Jiang Qin's wild nature was instantly ignited by Long Fei. With tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of Long Fei: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely let you see it!"
The matter of the giant ship caused a huge sensation in the Jiangdong court. Although I don't know what it was for, such a huge hull was already invincible. In the eyes of the giant ship, whether it was a stern or a high-rise ship, it was not called a ship at all.
Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi talked in detail about the situation they encountered in Shatou Town. When they mentioned it again, they were still shocked and couldn't calm down.
"It's too scary! If this is really Long Fei's navy, no matter how powerful our navy is, it will never be a match for others!" As a veteran, Huang Gai said such words, and everyone was surprised.
Lu Su asked: "The two generals really saw clearly that the flag on the ship belonged to Long Fei?"
Zhu Zhi nodded hurriedly: "Clearly! It is indeed Long Fei's flag!"
Lu Su nodded, turned around and cupped his hands to Sun Quan and said: "My lord, since Long Fei has such a powerful giant ship, we should immediately inform Gong Jin and ask him to take precautions. If it is true as that person said, both armies of Long Fei will be able to move along the waterway."
Gong, we in Jiangdong are in danger!"
Sun Quan was silent. Yesterday he vowed to make Long Fei look good, but today he was frightened by the huge ship. Could it be that he really relied on Long Fei? Lu Su shouted twice more, and then Sun Quan turned around.
Wei Lai shook his head slightly: "What did Zijing just say?" Lu Su said again, and Sun Quan nodded: "What Zijing said is absolutely true. Come and report this to Brother Zhong immediately.
On the deck of the Qinglong ship, a bunch of people gathered around Long Fei. Everyone looked at Meng Shuo and laughed. Dian Wei punched Meng Shuo: "You kid, you can do it. I came to Jiangdong Bai and picked up such a beautiful one."
My wife, when will such a good thing happen, let me do it too?"
Zhou Tai laughed and said: "With your behavior, if a girl can fall in love with you, if you go, that girl will definitely go with Liu Bei."
Dian Wei and Zhou Tai are both straightforward people who speak regardless of the situation. When the two of them are together, they will make each other speechless. Sometimes they even quarrel with each other with red faces and thick necks.
.But privately, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang are best friends.
Long Fei waved his hand and looked at Meng Shuo: "Not bad! Good thing, since all the girls have come with you, I will hold a glorious wedding for you when we return to Jingzhou!" He turned around and looked at a group of subordinates: "
You guys who don't have wives, hurry up. Meng Shuo is the youngest, and he's getting married now, look at you!" The crowd burst into laughter again.
A group of men were happy for Meng Shuo. Sun Shangxiang was young and had a boy's nature. He quickly got acquainted with Long Fei's men after boarding the ship. He walked around alone in the ship, reaching out and touching here and there.
After a while, she had naturally seen a large ship like a building ship, but she had never seen such a ship that could be used for horse racing. After turning around for a full circle, she returned to Meng Shuo and saw Long Fei also there. Sun Shangxiang said: "General Long,
Your boat is really big, and it won’t be bumpy at all on this river!”
Meng Shuo frowned and glanced at Sun Shangxiang: "This is my lord!"
Sun Shangxiang chuckled: "He is your lord, not mine!"
Dian Wei said: "You are going to marry our brother Mengshuo, why aren't you your lord?"
Sun Shangxiang seemed to make sense when he thought about it, and just as he was about to pay his respects, Long Fei hurriedly said: "Forget it, forget it, Miss Sun is the daughter of General Polu. There are no masters or masters here, we are all brothers. If Miss Sun doesn't
If you feel disgusted, just call me big brother!"
"That's okay!" Sun Shangxiang smiled. That chivalrous demeanor indeed made many people envy Meng Shuo. Sun Shangxiang cupped his hands and said, "Little sister, meet big brother!"
Guo Jia fanned: "Yes! Not only did Meng Shuo marry a lovely wife, but he also became the lord's brother-in-law. We must pay him respects whenever we see him in the future!" When everyone thought that what Guo Jia said made sense, they all came up one after another.
They wanted to recognize Sun Shangxiang, the younger sister, but Meng Shuo hurriedly stopped her. The gang made a fuss together.
The big ship went all the way west, stopping and going on the Yangtze River, going faster where it was easier and slower where it was not. As it was about to arrive at Chaisang, Zhou Yu also received news that had been urgently sent from Moling 800 miles away.
After seeing it, he was shocked. It turned out that the ship he saw that night was real. If Long Fei had such a huge warship, his navy would be powerless.
"Report..., general! A huge ship was found ten miles downstream of the Yangtze River! Flying the flag of the Dragon Army, it should be Long Fei's navy!" A messenger turned pale, panicked, and could not speak clearly.
Zhou Yu did not show the surprise that the ordering soldiers imagined, but waved slightly to let the ordering soldiers go down. Zhou Yu slowly sat on his commanding seat. Zhu Huan and Chen Wu looked at each other. Zhu Huan said: "
General, do you want to organize troops to intercept?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "No need!"
"The Long Fei Shui Army invaded our territory without permission. If the lord knows about this, I'm afraid...!"
Zhou Yu still shook his head and sighed: "Hey! It's useless to stop him! Do you know how big Long Fei's warship is?"
Chen Wudao: "Based on the situation that night, it's only a few feet long and one or two feet wide, right? It's not much bigger than our building boat!"
Zhou Yu handed the letter from Sun Quan to the two of them: "Look, this is from my lord. Long Fei's warship is nearly a hundred feet long, more than ten battles wide, and the mast alone is dozens of feet high!"
"Ah?" Zhu Huan was surprised: "Is there such a big warship in the world?"
