The sneaky pirates currently sneaking in the strait are basically from the island of Fusang. They discovered a very desperate fact, that is, their small boats can't outrun the big ships of the caravan.

Even if the weather is calm and the sea is calm, the small boats of these ronin are rowing continuously with the wind and manpower. After finally leaning on it, they will suddenly find out, what the hell, why is this boat so much taller than ours?

That's right, compared to Fusang's small boats that originally lagged behind Datang's shipbuilding technology, how could it be compared with the three-masted sailboats that appeared only a thousand years later, with the high sides specially designed to resist wind and waves, It was like a barrier blocking those non-professional pirates.

It's not that they haven't thought about using hooks and claws, but the Tang Dynasty these days, among other things, has that sturdy spirit that is integrated into his bones.

In the words of merchant ship captains and sailors who have been in contact with pirates, it is enough to give you face that His Royal Highness Qin Wang didn’t take people and ships directly to your house to occupy your house, but now you still dare to show your teeth to Datang ?This is looking for death, I don't need His Royal Highness King Qin to take action, I will take care of you first.

That's right, in the ronin fleets that have appeared so far, all those who dared to rush aboard with hook claws were all taken care of by the sturdy captains and sailors, and none of them succeeded.

Just kidding, no matter what era, those who dare to make a living at sea are all rough and courageous guys, especially the group of Datang, who are 100% from the army, not to mention cruel The top ones have all seen blood. A few chest-high brats dared to come up to grab the boat with a broken knife. Have you asked grandpa?

Although these ronin have not had a successful case so far, they have filled in a lot of human lives, but all the chambers of commerce are a little worried. There are too many ants and they will kill the elephant. They can handle these small boats by themselves, but If there were too many, it would be very good if the men on the boat picked ten fiercely, so why should they fight one hundred alone?

Therefore, when the naval fleet trained and equipped by Zhang Nuoxin set sail, it was immediately welcomed by all passing fleets.

Especially at present, many fleets are still composed of private soldiers recruited under Zhang Nuo's command before, and they have all been trained at the Naval Academy in order to let them know how to be a qualified sailor.

Even sailors have to be trained, let alone captains. In addition to fleet command and combat, in other aspects, the Naval Academy has no secrets about the training of these captains.

Of course, this also has an advantage, that is, once an urgent large-scale battle occurs, these captains will be recruited into the army as soon as possible, and then become a member of the navy.

Even if you don't become the commander of the battleship, but just become the captain of the transportation team, because of the same training school and the same training content, there will be no obstacles to the communication between the two parties.

Therefore, for these merchant ships, the battleship with the fleet command flag and the Qin Wang flag not only represents the navy, but also represents their old superiors and principals. This friendship is completely different.

Almost all merchant ships that saw this flag would approach them to say hello and so on. Zhang Nuo sometimes had to sigh, these people are really enthusiastic.

After the exercise, the fleet naturally went straight to the port of Dengzhou. The navy also has a special berthing area here, which has been planned long ago.

At present, the port area is still the one for both military and civilian purposes, and it will be different in the future. Zhang Nuo has already told Li Shimin that a special military port must be built in the future.

Because the replacement of warships in the future will definitely be much faster than merchant ships. At the same time, in terms of technology, material confidentiality, and security, the army and the local government are not on the same level at all. Right now, there is no way because of the constraints, so the military and civilians share it. have to separate.

Of course, the ever-increasing throughput of civilian terminals is also urging the further expansion of the port. Li Shimin is well aware of this. Today, Li Shimin has some ideas about judging the situation through data. Naturally, Zhang What Nuo said was right.

After the warship was moored, all the boys who had just disembarked were a little excited, because they knew that it would not be long before they would enter Chang'an on His Royal Highness King Qin's magical airship that destroyed Turks and broke Tubo.

For them who have been staying in Pyongyang for a long time, the airship is definitely no stranger, and they can see it every now and then, but no matter how familiar they are, they can only see it from a distance from the ground. This time it is different. Passenger again.

Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough for this group of people to brag about for a long time, not to mention that they didn't get on the airship alone, but flew back to Chang'an with Zhang Nuo, the miraculous King Qin, and it was quite a return home. feel it.

Chapter 736 The Navy Arrives in Chang'an

For Zhang Nuo, the airship has changed from being pleasantly surprised and frightened at the beginning to being regarded as an ordinary means of transportation now, and he even dislikes the slow speed of this thing.

If he hadn't been brave enough, he would have planned to get a few propeller planes out and drive them himself as a means of transportation. After all, in terms of speed, those seemingly simple planes were actually much stronger than airships.

But, Zhang Nuo hesitated many times but didn't dare to make it out. One is that he didn't dare, he really didn't dare, even though he found a lot of books for himself to read, and at the same time he played a flight simulation game at home in Lantian City for a long time. , but still dare not do so.

After all, this thing is different from a car. When driving, as long as you don’t kill yourself and don’t go too fast, in the absence of other cars hitting him, basically there will be no danger with the standard safety features on the car. Knocking your head to death is considered the most serious situation.

But airplanes are different. Basically, as long as there is an accident with that thing, it depends on luck if you want to save your life. Even if it is a relatively slow propeller plane, it is still a thing that flies in the sky.

Don't talk about parachutes, even flying a plane with an umbrella bag on your back may cause an accident, let alone Zhang Nuo hasn't found a plane that can fly with an umbrella bag on your back.

Besides, the vast majority of airplane accidents are actually during take-off and landing. At that time, carrying a parachute is useless. Once an accident happens, you can’t see it. Basically, there are only a bunch of mosaics left.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo would rather just sit on the airship and suffer slowly at the moment, and he doesn't plan to build any planes, but if he has a chance in the future, it would be good to throw one to the research institute for slow research.

But there is also a problem. The aircraft is not a steam engine, but a more advanced internal combustion engine. That thing involves more than just machinery, and there are too many upstream and downstream involved.

Oil extraction, smelting, chemical industry, metal smelting, machinery manufacturing, aerodynamics... too many things are included in it.

Now the research institute is still concentrating on how to increase the power of the steam engine. Without a thorough understanding of these things, Zhang Nuo will not promote the research of internal combustion engines at all.

If it is said that Zhang Nuo was a little reckless when he took out various technologies at the beginning, then he has become more cautious now.

Maybe it's because he has been in Datang for a long time, or maybe it's because he has really seen too many things. He clearly knows that blindly and disorderly promotion of technological development will only bring about one result, that is, the entire technological tree Either it will be crooked because of the hurricane rush, or it will completely obliterate the creativity of the researchers.

The feeling that there is information to help you no matter what you study, will completely make those researchers lose the motivation to pursue the truth and create new things, and the original creativity and passion in their minds will gradually lose their vitality because of this easy-to-reach knowledge .

After all, why bother to study the knowledge that can be obtained easily?

Therefore, Zhang Nuo not only blocked the new technology, but also sorted out the things he had produced before. Except for the textbooks from elementary school to high school, Zhang Nuo did not produce any new materials.

To be honest, having complete knowledge from elementary school to high school, especially the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, is enough for researchers in this era to lay a solid foundation, and it is even more enough for them to study their own projects.

At the same time, this is also a kind of screening. Only those who can master this knowledge proficiently and have the desire to continue to study will be eligible to enter the research institute for more detailed research.

And even if these people start researching, they can only do their own research first. After the research reaches a certain level and the results are obtained, Zhang Nuo will open his private library to them after he submits it to Zhang Nuo for review. All kinds of knowledge come out.

In fact, the things in it are not particularly advanced things, they are the textbooks of various universities, but one advantage is that it contains a lot of things, because the classification of subjects in later generations is becoming more and more detailed, so each school has its own. Advantageous disciplines and academic atmosphere, an excellent textbook can actually allow these people to figure out the direction in their own research fields.

Speaking of the airship, when they first boarded the airship, the boys in the navy couldn't help being curious. Not only did they run around from time to time, but they also wanted to go into some forbidden places to "explore the secrets". Yes, what they can gain is naturally two more footprints on their buttocks.

The people who operate the airship today are not the same group of researchers as before. Those researchers now have their own research projects, and they will only be responsible for regular inspections of the airship, and at the same time send one or two people with the ship to serve as technical guidance.

Now the airship is operated by Zhang Nuo's personal guards. Almost all of them are veterans. Maybe others will be concerned about the identity of these navy brats, but for those who follow every day Behind Zhang Nuo, Li Shimin's personal guards could be seen from time to time saying, these kids are just like the juniors in the family, if you want to be mischievous, kicking you is nothing.

And after almost half a day of flying, these little bastards finally calmed down. After all, the flying process of the airship is actually quite boring. From the very beginning, when you see a cloud, you have to make a fuss for a while until you see the white sky. Yunhai felt bored, but it was really fast.

The flight of the airship is like this, smooth, slow but boring, but fortunately, the transportation capacity is strong, otherwise, the current Datang really cannot find a transportation method that can transport hundreds of people as quickly as the airship.

Of course, it is not without cost to drag hundreds of people to Chang'an at once this time, at least most of the people are actually crowded in the warehouse.

It is not a comfortable experience to sit on the ground in that poor place for a long time, but seeing the name of the airship and the novel experience, it seems that everyone can hold on?
