Being with these simple people, even Liu Deng's mood became lighter.
They didn't have many demands. All they wanted was to talk to Liu Deng, the great king.
In the end, I was able to have a meal with the king. Of course, it would be perfect if there was an extra jar of canned fish on the king’s table.
For this simple request, Liu Deng graciously satisfied it directly.
After the meal was finished, several old men went home drunk. As for what to eat?
I forgot, anyway, as long as you eat with the king, who cares what you eat.
Anyway, with this time, everyone is satisfied.
The people who were looking outside to inquire about the news saw several elderly people coming out, and everyone rushed forward.
Among the crowd, a few white-haired old men have now become the real winners. At this moment, their vanity is completely satisfied.
Being able to have a meal with the king is something they can boast about for the rest of their lives.
"Your Majesty, let's go see the big ship?"
Seeing these people finally leaving, Du Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Tian was actually a very good person.
For the sake of this city, he spent a lot of effort. If something went wrong today, I'm afraid it would be a bit unfair.
Fortunately, although these old men drank too much, they didn't say anything stupid. This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
"Let's go, I also want to see what the thing that I spent so much money on will look like in the end!"
Although Liu Deng was a little drunk, he still hadn't forgotten his true intention of coming here.
"There is another person in my convoy, please call him from the carriage!"
Big ships are actually not just a matter of blueprints.
There are many craftsmanships, let alone drawings. Even if you are given an exact replica, it is not possible that someone can completely copy it.
Therefore, Liu Deng directly asked Xu Yin to be called.
After all, if this kid wasn't interested, how could he get on this ship.
"promise!"
When Xu Yin lazily followed Liu Deng all the way to the dock on the beach, he was stunned when he saw the huge ship.
"You, you really made it?"
Xu Yin looked unbelievable. This was really unbelievable!
For such a big ship, even the largest building ship is nothing more than a piece of trash in front of it.
"How's it going? Isn't this thing pretty good?"
Looking at the fifty-foot-long ship, Liu Deng's face was filled with pride.
This may be the pinnacle of the entire Han Dynasty shipbuilding industry so far!
"A fifty-foot ship, does this thing really exist?"
Xu Yin's voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
"This is not a dream. This is the masterpiece of Han craftsmen. There will be bigger ones in the future, one hundred feet, two hundred feet, three hundred feet!"
Liu Deng's eyes slowly became firmer. In front of this ship, those broken ships of overseas barbarians were simply scum.
If a fight really breaks out, it doesn't even need other methods. Just pressing forward like this is enough to turn all the ships in front of it into pieces of wood.
"Can this thing really float?"
After the shock, Xu Yin looked at Liu Deng with suspicion again.
"Don't be such a petty person. Don't you want to cultivate immortality? It's just a wooden ship! After my king's fleet is built, if you want to find Long Bo's country, just follow them to conquer the world!"
While Liu Deng was talking, he did not forget to draw cakes for Xu Yin.
Although, this thing really shocked the people present.
However, only Liu Deng understood that this thing was just a test product.
His goal is a giant ship of one hundred feet, and only such a big ship can travel safely on the stormy sea.
Only something like that can spread the power of the mighty man to the far reaches of the world.
Liu Deng really wanted to see what the invincible Roman army looked like when they saw the Han Heavenly Army armed to the teeth.
Aren’t they good at building houses?
The great Han Dynasty was in ruins and was waiting to be reborn. It required a lot of labor. Of course, after getting the big ship, the first thing to do was to clean up the surrounding bastards one by one.
"King?"
Seeing Liu Deng suddenly stop on the spot, looking at the big ship drooling continuously, Du Ziteng quickly reminded in a low voice.
"ah?"
"The master craftsmen are waiting for you now!"
Du Ziteng said quickly.
"Cough-cough-cough-"
"There seems to be nothing wrong with this ship now, but if you want to see what it's like, you'd better go to the sea and take a look!"
Looking at the expectant masters, Liu Deng coughed and said.
"Your Majesty, the main body of this ship was completed a month ago, the tung oil has been brushed several times, and the sails have been adjusted several times. We are just waiting for your order!"
We haven't seen him for a long time. Chen Bo'an seems to be in better spirits, but he has lost a lot of weight.
"If that's the case, then what are you waiting for? I think it's better to choose a different date. How about a trial sail tomorrow morning?"
In any case, Liu Deng has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this thing, and now he can't wait.
"promise!"
After receiving Liu Deng's order, Chen Bo'an was overjoyed.
Although Liu Deng hired a large number of royal shipwrights during the middle and later stages of shipbuilding, due to Du Ziteng's intervention, the commander-in-chief of the ship was still Chen Bo'an.
For this ship, at the age of sixty, he lived and ate in the dock almost every day. For more than a year, one can imagine the hard work he put in.
This thing is like his child now. Seeing that this thing can finally go into the sea, Chen Boan's excitement is naturally beyond the understanding of others.
At this time, Xu Yin is completely like a curious baby. He is very curious about everything about this ship.
After all, men actually have a natural curiosity about these things, especially things like ships, which have special meaning to Xu Yin.
"Would you like to go up and have a look?"
Seeing Xu Yin's thief-like expression, Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"May I?"
Xu Yin was a little surprised. After all, is Liu Deng really so easy to take advantage of?
"Of course, let's go! It just so happens that Mr. Chen is here today. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him to explain it!"
Shipbuilding is not something ordinary people can play at all. Even Xu Yin, after losing the Lingnan Three Kingdoms, did not have enough manpower and materials to build ships.
