The Three Kingdoms

"Teacher, thank you!" Luo Shui said modestly.

"Haha, Mr. Dong, you can be regarded as a successor!"

Sun Quan's eyes brightened slightly. After all, Dong Qi was old, but the craftsmanship of shipbuilding could not be old.

He spends so much money every year to do research on warships, and he naturally hopes that they will continue to research one generation after another and make the most powerful warships.

"Your Majesty, please give this ship a name!"

Dong Qi asked.

Sun Quan looked at the iron-clad ship with satisfaction, laughed a few times, and said: "This warship is called the Century, and it will witness the shipbuilding process across the century. From now on, the workshop will start with all its strength." To manufacture iron-clad ships, within three years, I would like to see Wu Guo’s navy fully equipped with iron-clad ships, sailing unimpeded in the sea!”

If you want to travel westward to Rome, you must have an iron-clad ship as your foundation after all.

This iron-clad ship is not just a warship, but a fire, which ignites the fire of Sun Quan's desire to unify the whole world.To be continued. .

[Text Chapter 679 The Journey of the Future Navy]

A piece of blue sky, a piece of blue sea!

The wind is strong, and the battle flags are blowing, hunting and hunting, and the waves are high, one after another, presenting the magnificence of the sea. ±,

On the Jinfan in the center of the sailing fleet, under a dragon flag, Sun Quan stood on the top of the deck of the Jinfan with his hands behind his back, his thin but tall body.

His cloak fluttered in the wind, his black hair fluttered wildly, and a pair of emerald green eyes reflected the magnificent waves of the sea.

After the launching ceremony of the armored ship, he explained the details and goals of the shipbuilding in the Dongzhi Shipbuilding Workshop in detail, and then hurried north.

He is the king, and it is already a last resort to leave Beijing and go north.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and he can't leave Jinling City for too long, otherwise there will be troubles in the Wu country, so his schedule is very tight.

Gan Ning, the captain of the Jinfan Fleet, walked out of the cabin, walked behind Sun Quan, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's windy here, you are a body of gold, you should go back to the cabin!"

This time Sun Quan went north to escort the Jinfan Fleet, one of the four major fleets of the navy.

The Jinfan Fleet is the elite of the navy. Since the Battle of Chibi, it was seriously injured. After returning to the East China Sea, it just happened to encounter the Northern Xinjiang War and was unable to help. In the end, Sun Quan was assigned to defend the South China Sea and asked He Qi to lead the new force to the north.

After more than half a year, the Jinfan Fleet has finally regained its vitality.

"Xingba, come!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan stretched out his hand to wave to Gan Ning, let Gan Ning take a step forward, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at the boundless happiness with his eyes: "You told Gu, when you saw the sea for the first time, , how do you feel?"

Every time he sees the magnificent Taihai, Sun Quan always has some feelings in his heart.

This side of the boundless sea.It seems to remind him all the time: take a long-term view, see the other side of the sea, and don't just stare at the one-acre three-point land in the house.

"Big!"

Gan Ning couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, he thought for a long time before uttering a single word.

"Big?" Sun Quan heard.Suddenly a little stunned, too intuitive.

"Correct!"

Gan Ning nodded, a smile appeared on his somewhat stupid face, his eyes were a little melancholy, and he said: "At the beginning, someone felt that the sea was so big and boundless, as if it had already surpassed someone's field of vision. Look. I was thinking in my heart, when will I touch the end of it!"

"Good ambition, we want to touch the end of the sea, we have a chance!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, he patted his shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Everything has an end, and so does the sea. You can't see it now, it's just because you are not capable enough. One day, your warship will be able to sweep across the sea. After seeing the sea, you will understand that the world we live in is only as big as a palm!"

Today's people see the sea.It seems that modern people are looking at the boundless universe.

But in later generations, when looking at the world map, they don't actually feel how big this world is, and they can be seen at a glance.

"Your Majesty, what you said is really good. The Admiral deeply agrees...By the way, shouldn't the ironclad ship Century be assigned to our Jinfan Fleet?"

Gan Ning glanced at Sun Quan, in a good mood, and quickly took the opportunity to ask.

"Gan Xingba, you have learned badly, Gu said that you are so kind, and you came to escort Gu Bei in person, so it turned out that you were after the iron-clad ship!"

Sun Quan was a little stunned, and laughed a few times after he came back to his senses, and said, "It's just an iron-clad ship, did you use it to chase and fight like this? Since you got on the ship, this is the sixth time you have asked Gu this question." , don't give it!"

The iron-clad ship, a brand-new warship, was wanted by several generals of the navy. He Qi was the first to get the moon near the water.

"Since Your Majesty is here, I must invite some credit!"

Gan Ning took it for granted: "Iron armored ship, that is a warship that we have all been looking forward to for a long time. A certain person wants it, He Qi also wants it, Zhou Tai's guy also naturally wants it, even Xuezhou who guards Chibi , don’t you want it too!”

The Wu State Navy is the largest arm of the Wu State. He Qi, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xue Zhou are the four giant generals of the Wu State Navy, each leading [-] troops.

There is also competition between them, fighting for the source of troops, fighting for warships, who doesn't want to have a stronger fleet under his command.

"Your Majesty, our Jinfan Fleet will definitely make good use of this warship!" Gan Ning said with burning eyes.

"This is left alone for Zhou Tai, you don't need to worry!"

Sun Quan waved his hand and said with a firm expression: "If we can make one iron-clad ship, we can make a hundred iron-clad warships, at most young people, and we will give your fleet a big remodel!"

"Your Majesty, an iron-clad ship is equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment. Whether it is a small trebuchet or the latest Longquan crossbow, they are all very popular weapons in the military today. It's cheap, the navy wants a big change, and it's so fast there!"

Gan Ning said with a wry smile: "Who is not giving it to anyone, why leave it to Zhou Tai!"

He is not a pure general, he is the same as leading troops in battle, so handsome!He has an army of [-], and every move he makes must consider the affairs of the Dao Chaotang.

How can it be so easy to change clothes in batches!

"This matter should be considered alone. When did you think about it? I said I will change your outfits within three years, so you won't break your promise. Don't think about Zhou Tai's warship!"

Sun Quan tidied up his hair that was blown by the sea breeze, left the deck, and walked into a spacious cabin.

This cabin is the command center of the Jinfan Fleet. In the middle is a sand table of the latest terrain in the South China Sea, and the charts hanging around it look very spectacular.

"How is the exploration of the South China Sea going?"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes, staring at the increasingly clear topographical map of the island on the sand table, and asked.

"My lord, we haven't taken over the South China Sea for a long time, and we are still familiar with everything in the South China Sea. The progress is not big!"

Gan Ning pointed to the topography of the sand table and replied: "In the South China Sea, there are many scattered islands. We have marked them all. Australia is relatively large and is the main island in the South China Sea. Recently, we are still exploring the territory of Australia. Maybe it is bigger than we thought. Among them, it is even bigger, even bigger than Jiangdong, we are wondering if we are exploring carefully!"

"Except for Australia?" Sun Quan continued to ask.

The South China Sea is the Nanyang of later generations. In fact, Nanyang is very large, with scattered islands, which together can rival the Central Plains. Now it is developed ahead of schedule, which is definitely a big project.

"The further south you go, the colder it will be. We have sent a lot of fleets to sail along the south, but the danger is too great, and not many can come back. It is not feasible to continue southward. The east and west , will be one of our future navigation goals!"
