As soon as the ship came out, everyone spread out their spiritual consciousness to scan it and feel it clearly.
As reported in advance, the surface is made of steel, but the interior is actually a wooden frame structure.
The technical level of large-scale castings such as welding is insufficient, and an all-steel ship cannot currently be realized.
But Xu Mochen was already very satisfied. He pointed at the fleet and said, "Look, when I was watching TV, I especially liked the military column.
I tell you, every man has a passionate dream.
Defending the homeland and being impassioned are the main themes of life.
I never thought that this dream of mine would come true one day. "
Everyone listened to him talking, and everyone was confused.
Shen Zhining knew this clearly, and she encouraged: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and the whole world has been conquered. Naturally, he attaches great importance to armaments."
Xu Mochen automatically ignored the sentence "The world must be conquered": "Of course, I am not developing these to invade other countries.
We need to be peacemakers, including maintaining good relations with the immortal world. "
Mi Luo sneered: "That's it?
You made me wait for a long time and just let me watch this?
Although a ship of this caliber is much better than others, if it encounters a cultivator, it is basically going to die. "
Xu Mochen glared at her and shut up if she didn't know how to speak.
Overall, everyone is quite surprised.
Steel can float on the water, which is easy for the immortal cultivators, so they are not very surprised.
"Where's the main gun?" Xu Mochen liked shooting cannons the most. "Get ready to fire. Let me see the power."
Zhao Yuheng quickly made arrangements and waved the flag to send out a semaphore. The five ships honk together to indicate that they had received the message.
"Have any of the water monsters nearby been cleared away?" Xu Mochen checked to avoid unnecessary disputes.
"Everything has been cleaned up," Tang Derun arranged it all. "With the help of the Dragon Clan, these things can be easily solved."
After hearing this, Xu Mochen suddenly felt that being a dragon knight was not bad.
A ship slowly appeared in the distance, but it was a warship common in foreign countries.
This warship was unwanted by the foreign country. Zhao Yuheng bought it back at a high price, disassembled it and submitted it to the research institute. It was originally used as a reference for ship design.
In the sea breeze, the main guns of the five warships fired at the same time, but the shells were seen crossing the parabola and accurately hitting the warship.
"Boom, boom, boom -" The explosion was mixed with the light of the sky, and the battleship fell apart in an instant, swirling and sinking.
Of the five shells, three hit and the remaining two fell into the nearby sea.
Mi Luo sighed: "This thing is not good, it can be bent."
Xu Mochen was not unhappy: "The hit rate is already very good. After all, many instruments and equipment have not kept up with it, so we rely on visual estimation."
Shen Zhining also echoed: "In the future, as technology becomes more developed and accurate positioning is available, it won't be a big problem."
The result is still very satisfying.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Yuheng asked for instructions, "this fleet has also reached preliminary scale. I would like to ask your Majesty to name the fleet."
"Let's call it Ningzhou Fleet," Xu Mochen thought for a while, "To be simple and direct, the flagship will be called Ningtai."
Zhao Yuheng quickly recorded it.
After visiting the sea launching ceremony, Xu Mochen returned to Ningtai City.
Progress in all aspects was several days faster than expected. Xu Mochen thought that since he was out of the palace, he would take this opportunity to stay in Ningzhou, half for fun and half for inspection.
The concubines in the harem are naturally happy. There is actually not much room for activities in the capital, and it is difficult to leave the palace, so they naturally hope to stay longer.
Everyone dispersed to do their own things. Xu Mochen had nothing to do, so he planned to visit the academy in Ningtai City.
The purpose of building the college is to further promote education, which is the most important step for him at present.
Taking Tang Derun with them, the two of them dressed in casual clothes and soon arrived at the location of the college.
This was originally the Gongyuan Academy, used exclusively for higher education students.
Xu Mochen did not issue an order to abolish it. After all, the way of saints has influenced the world for thousands of years and cannot be abandoned all at once.
Therefore, on the basis of the original building, Xu Mochen requested to expand the new building to be used as a school in the future.
"It can accommodate thousands of people," Tang Derun pointed to the rows of school buildings ahead, "However, Wei Chen and others don't know the specific details of the school, so we basically followed the information provided by the Concubine Xian."
Xu Mochen has read this information.
Shen Zhining's information came from Du Niang, but Du Niang's information could not be refined to a specific part.
Therefore, the entire school is actually just a framework.
Although Xu Mochen has received nine years of compulsory education, he only knows teachers, directors, and principals, and how the specific work is allocated is still unclear.
Thinking, he hopes to have someone who understands education join his team.
Building a school building is a big deal, so there are often people watching around the college.
Not knowing what he felt, Xu Mochen had a thought in his mind. He looked back and saw a girl and a boy standing in the corner not far away.
The two men were wearing loose clothes, but their skin tone was fair, especially the young man, who deliberately covered his hair.
Tang Derun followed Xu Mochen's gaze and was stunned: "People from a foreign country."
Here in Ningzhou Special Economic Zone, it is not surprising to see people from foreign countries.
But it is rare to see people as charming as these two.
After all, everything that can travel thousands of miles across the ocean to Daqian has been washed away by wind and waves, and its appearance is not very good-looking.
"He is an immortal cultivator," Xu Mochen judged, "Maybe he is a student from a foreign country."
Cultural exchange is quite common in this world.
When the Imperial College was at its peak, there were many immortal cultivators and students from foreign countries in it.
Thinking about it, Xu Mochen walked towards the two of them.
His move was immediately noticed by the two of them. The young man frowned slightly and took a small step forward to block the girl.
The girl just turned her head and glanced at Xu Mochen.
Xu Mochen's heart was shocked. The girl's eyes were like the water of a deep pool in October in the cold winter. Even if he was at the level of the Golden Core Realm, he was almost distracted.
This woman is extraordinary, this is Xu Mochen's first judgment.
After calming down, Xu Mochen forced a smile and stepped forward to say hello: "You two must be from a foreign country. You have come all the way to work. You are most welcome."
After the girl glanced at him, her eyes did not stop, and she turned around and continued to look at the college.
The young man identified you carefully and suddenly smiled: "I recognize you, you are Xu Mochen, the Emperor of Daqian."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Derun's expression immediately changed, and he stepped forward warily.
Xu Mochen waved his hand to block it: "It seems that I am quite famous in a foreign country. It is rare for you to know about me."
"Most people don't know," the young man didn't hide it, "but we cultivators know it."
As he spoke, he looked back at the girl, as if waiting for her instructions.
But after waiting for a long time, the girl was still unmoved. The young man had no choice but to curl his lips. He stepped forward and formally greeted her: "Emperor Daqian, I am Luojia from the Natural Sect and the Boleklia Sect of the Foreign Country."
