That being said, it is not an easy task for Daqin craftsmen to create such a template.

As for the printed paintings, they are not as fine as the original ones, that’s for sure. The Daqin Daily’s layout is also limited. Even if a one-page layout is specially used to make illustrations, it is impossible to be more realistic than the original one drawn by Zhao Che himself. .

"It seems that I can only do it myself. In this case, I will make the template and send it back to Xianyang."

Zhao Che shook his head. It is too difficult to add illustrations to daily newspapers in ancient times when there was no printing technology. It seems that it is not feasible at least temporarily.

"Since it's Che'er, if you do it yourself, I will believe you!"

Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Since Zhao Che did it himself, the template would definitely not be much worse than the original painting. Even if it was printed to have three points of the charm of the original painting, it would be enough for him.

"I'll talk about drawing the template later, why don't we let the boat go into the water first!"

"Okay, I want to see, how is this steam ship that can be moved by itself without manpower better than my Daqin's building ship?"

Ying Zheng laughed and gave the order to set off casually.

"Woo~"

The ship's whistle made a high-pitched and bright sound, and with the thick smoke rising from the chimney, the first steam ship in Daqin slowly retracted its anchor and finally started to move.

The initial speed of the ship was not fast, but it was very stable, and the speed was slowly increasing.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Che stood on the deck, watching the ship leave the port, their hearts filled with different emotions.

Soon, the speed of the ship became faster and faster. There was no sail on the ship, and it relied on the steam engine in the cabin on the bottom floor to ride the wind and waves into the sea.

"Good! Good!"

Feeling the momentum of this steam ship riding the wind and waves, Ying Zheng was extremely excited. With such a ship, Da Qin can go wherever he wants in the future, and the boundless sea will no longer be able to stop Da Qin's footsteps.

At this time, the ship was already far away from the shore, and under Zhao Che's instruction, the speed of the ship gradually slowed down.

And Zhao Che conjured a fishing rod out of nowhere, and was sitting on a small bench, fishing on the deck.

"Bring me a fishing rod too!"

Ying Zheng didn't have much interest in fishing, but it was his first time fishing in this vast sea, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.

After a casual order, the servant soon brought a fishing rod and a chair to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng put on the bait, followed Zhao Che's example, and threw the hook out, and the two caught the fish in such a grandiose manner.

As for the other ministers present, seeing the appearance of Ying Zheng and Zhao Che, their hands were somewhat itchy, but there were no extra fishing rods on the boat. Besides, it was still a lot of pressure to let them sit and fish with Ying Zheng Yes, so everyone can only watch helplessly, and flatter by the way.

"Father, the first steamship in Daqin hasn't been named yet, why don't you choose a name for it?"

Zhao Che was fishing, and casually chatted with Ying Zheng.

"What about a name? How about just calling it Xuanniao?"

Ying Zheng decided on the name after a little thought.

The mysterious bird is the totem of Daqin, and there is a picture of a mysterious bird painted on the outside of this ship, so naturally the black bird is the most suitable.

"Then this ship will be called the Xuanniao!"

Zhao Che smiled. In fact, this steamship can only be regarded as a large fishing boat. It is actually inappropriate to choose such a grand name.

But considering the significance of this ship to Daqin, it is actually acceptable to take such a name.

"By the way, Che'er, what are those black barrels on both sides?"

"Black bucket?"

Zhao Che was taken aback, and looked in the direction of Ying Zheng's fingers. It turned out that he was referring to the gun barrels installed on both sides of the ship's side.

"This is good stuff!"

Zhao Che laughed. These cannon barrels are the most powerful weapons on the Xuanniao. There are a total of twenty cannons, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely extraordinary.

Judging from the current level of technological development in the world, these cannons are equivalent to the concept of nuclear weapons. The reason why Zhao Che is confident that he can sweep the world with the Black Bird is because of these cannons.

"What a good thing? Tell me in detail."

Seeing Zhao Che's smile, Ying Zheng also became interested, and quickly asked.

"Mo Sheng, go prepare some shells and set off fireworks for my father!"

Zhao Che chuckled, and casually gave instructions to Mo Sheng beside him.

"fireworks?"

Ying Zheng still doesn't know what the fireworks in Zhao Che's mouth mean, but he won't be confused for a long time.

So at this time, Mo Sheng had summoned two crew members to fill the barrel with shells.

"Young master, do you want to find a target?"

Mo Sheng stepped forward to ask, Zhao Che took the binoculars, looked around, and soon found a reef protruding a small part of the sea.

"Did you see it, just that rock, blast him flat!"

The reef is still some distance away from the Xuanniao, so when viewed with the naked eye, the reef does not seem to be big, but in fact it is still very huge, it can be called a small hill.

Ying Zheng also took over the binoculars at this time, took a look at it from a distance, and saw the true face of the reef.

Before he could say anything, Mo Sheng had already received an order to convey it to his subordinates.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, several violent explosions sounded, and the people on the Xuanniao had no time to react, and they were frightened by the huge sound and panicked.

"What's the matter? Is the ship sinking?"

"Hurry up and protect Your Majesty and Young Master!"

"Grab the railing and be careful not to fall!"

……

The unknown officials on the ship, after hearing this violent sound, thought it was the sound made by the Xuanniao hitting some stone.

"Calm down, the boat is fine, all adults stand still and watch with peace of mind."

Seeing this, Zhao Che said something to comfort him.

And just as his words fell, bursts of flames suddenly erupted on the surface of the sea in the distance, and the huge explosion power blasted the sea water into huge waves.

"Hiss! What a powerful force!"

Ying Zheng witnessed all this with his own eyes, so he naturally knew that this was the power of the cannons on the Xuanniao.

The way this cannon explodes seems to be the same as Zhao Che's grenade, but its power is much higher than the grenade.

Because it was just an experiment with the power of the cannon, Zhao Che didn't waste too much ammunition, and just stopped after bombing for a round.

Ying Zheng raised his binoculars and looked at the location of the reef that Zhao Che pointed to just now.

At this time, only a small tip of the huge reef remained on the surface of the sea. As for the other places, they were naturally flattened by cannons.
