In addition to learning how to control ships and cope with sea weather, the Navy also learned the construction and principles of steam engines.
In this way, even if there is any problem with the steam engine at sea, it can be dealt with in time!
In addition, the ship is also equipped with sails, so it can sail long distances even without relying on the power of a steam engine!
The navy officers, dressed in majestic navy uniforms, came to the deck with neat steps!
Then quickly find your place!
Some checked whether the various facilities on the ship were in good condition, while others ran into the cabin to add coal and water.
Only when water is boiled can a steam engine run!
Ying Zheng and others watched silently from the shore, patiently waiting for the ship to start!
"Woooo..."
Less than half an hour later, a loud roar erupted from the ship's exhaust vent.
With his previous experience, Ying Zheng knew that this was about to start, and he suddenly became excited!
"This steamship is indeed good, but it is a little slow to start. Once it encounters danger at sea, the day lilies will be cold while the water is boiling!"
At this moment, Feng Quji said something that disappointed everyone.
But it does make sense when you think about it.
If you encounter danger while waiting for the water to be boiled on the train, you can jump out of the window, but not on the ship. If you jump out, you will reach the sea.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes focused on Ying Feiyu again!
This guy invented the steamship, so he can only give a reasonable explanation!
"Feng Shangshu, don't worry. There are sails on the ship. You can use the wind when necessary. In addition, there are 20 cannons on the ship. It is estimated that their ship will be overturned before the enemy can get close." !”
Ying Feiyu's fair little face smiled very proudly, and he had a pair of cannons in his hands, and he had the best attitude in the world.
"A cannon? There is a cannon on this ship? Why didn't I see it?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously.
He had already looked over the ship just now, and he didn't even see the shadow of the cannon!
"Father, you can see it later!"
Today's test, in addition to seeing whether the ship can move, also depends on the training results of the naval officers during this period.
Can you successfully attack the enemy on the sea?
You know, it is easy to find the correct position on the ground, but in the constantly floating sea, the accuracy is not so easy to control!
Fortunately, these artillerymen are relatively experienced. After training for so long, they should be almost ready!
"It's moving, it's moving, the ship is really moving!"
Just as everyone was staring at the ship, looking for a cannon, the ship suddenly started to move slowly.
As the speed increased, in a moment, it was almost out of everyone's sight, and then turned around and turned back.
Immediately afterwards, a building ship appeared in everyone's sight, less than two miles away from the steamer.
The two boats, one large and one small, all stopped.
A small boat was lowered from the stern of the ship, rowed under the building boat, and all the people on the building boat were brought onto the ship!
"What does this mean?"
Ying Zheng and others stood on the shore, looking confused.
"Father, didn't you just say that you didn't see the position of the gunners? Let them show you now!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ship suddenly changed direction and aimed one side of the hull at the building ship.
"Kaka..."
Then, a row of small holes suddenly appeared in the hull of the ship, and a long barrel protruded from it.
All the cannon barrels have been adjusted and aimed at the building ship not far away!
Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh! So the gangster is hiding here!"
"Bang...bang..."
Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of the cannon sounded, and black cannonballs were thrown towards the building ship.
But without exception, they all missed and fell into the Wei River, causing a huge splash!
The boat swayed twice with the spray, but it was still floating on the water!
"This...this won't work either!"
Just as he was relieved, Feng Quji's old face twitched again.
According to this accuracy, at most it is just to scare the enemy!
"Don't worry, Minister Feng. The first shot is to test the direction. We just have to wait patiently!"
The young lady still had that confident smile on her face, without any worry.
Sure enough, in the second round of firing, seven of the ten artillery pieces hit the target, blowing the building to pieces and sending water splashing everywhere!
At the end of the third round, there were no traces of the building boats on the Weishui River, and only some broken pieces of wood were left floating on the sea.
"Not bad!"
Ying Zheng stood on the bank with his hands behind his back and his back straight, nodding repeatedly.
"This is the first time the ship has entered the water. If the artillerymen are given more time, I believe they will be more accurate!"
Ying Feiyu said.
"Well, in this way, even if the navy encounters danger at sea, there is no need to be afraid!"
Feng Quji stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Father, it's not over yet, please continue reading!"
"besides?"
Ying Zheng blinked in confusion and quickly looked at the ship in the water.
Xin Sheng held a small flag and waved it back and forth on the shore, sending signals to the soldiers on the ship!
After receiving the signal, the ship slowly approached a prepared shore.
This is a beach, deserted.
Mix mud with dry straw in advance and build a row of simple houses to simulate a city!
"Bang...bang..."
The steamer stopped about a mile from the shore and fired its guns.
In an instant, all those simple houses were blown away, and after the dust flew away, only a few deep pits were left!
"pretty!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands happily.
"In this way, the navy can attack the city in the water, and the people in the city can't do anything to us. It's really a magical weapon!"
Feng Quji, who was worried before, was full of praise.
"If my country lived on an island, I would be frightened to see such a building, haha!"
Meng Yi said with a gloating smile.
"Yes, from now on our Great Qin will not only conquer countries on land, but we will also not let go of those overseas!"
Speaking of this, Ying Feiyu suddenly showed a stern expression, which was completely inconsistent with his young and cute little face.
Since God has given him the opportunity to time travel, he will never allow anyone to insult their descendants!
There can only be one country in this world, and that is Da Qin!
"Feiyu, these ships must be manufactured in large quantities. I will order fifty ships first!"
Seeing the power of steamships, Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand and placed an order.
"Five...fifty ships?"
Zhang Han, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, suddenly felt a twitch in his heart.
How much does it cost?
"Fifty ships are still too few for me...!"
Ying Zheng glared at him angrily, "Shippers can not only transport goods, but also carry troops and go out to sea to fight. There are not more than a hundred ships!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zhang Han nodded.
He knew that ships were good, but he didn’t have much money in his pocket!
You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you’re not a family member!
