It took a full month, and the people at Xingshouyuan and the shipyard knew in their hearts that if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had not wandered around the shipyard, the construction period could be at least ten days in advance. ````` It's not that the emperor commanded randomly, it was just a small misunderstanding, which would affect the construction period at most one or two days. However, this person was the emperor, and his existence made the craftsmen too nervous and his work efficiency seriously decreased.

Reward! Each person sent a red envelope.

This kind of red paper bag contains silver notes, which is more pleasant than a real plate of silver. New things are always easy to become popular.

The boat was covered with new paint, light yellow. Standing in the dock, looking at the color, the white crane frowned.

"Bai Minghe, are you dissatisfied with the color I chose?" Zhu Qiyu became a little nervous after the misunderstanding incident he was commanding randomly, and was always afraid that he would make another misunderstanding.

"I don't dare!" Bai Minghe quickly bent his waist deeply.

Zhu Qiyu signaled the people on both sides to retreat, lowered his voice beside Bai Minghe and said, "If it is placed among the people, what do you call me?" Bai Minghe was stunned for a moment, and replied, "According to Guanzhong's name, call me brother. It's a bit more common among the people, call me brother-in-law, simply call me brother-in-law!"

"Okay, just as the people's identity, what do you mean by frowning just now? To be honest, in folk words, I'm very interested in listening."

The white-known crane grabbed the scalp and suddenly smiled evilly: "I will say, you have fish in your head, I don't know how to attract insects in spring."

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu didn't understand, Bai Minghe explained: "The same few wooden boards are painted, white, black, red, blue, and yellow. In spring, there is nothing on the other wooden boards, but bright yellow will cause many black bugs to fall. It looks a headache."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it and it seemed that such a thing really happened. When I was in the imperial garden in spring, small insects always fell on the imperial robe. The eunuchs always said that this is a long live love for the people and the whole world is back. Even the flying insects such as butterflies are happy. But now thinking about it, it seems that there are more black insects.

It is obviously too late to change the color now, and it is about to be auspicious.

"It seems that I still..." Zhu Qiyu sighed very much.

"Long live, the ancients also said that reading thousands of books is not a journey of thousands of miles. Of course, reading more books is definitely good, but you can consider a different lifestyle. As a brother, I would say something disrespectfully, the palace, courtyard, like a prison! Besides, brother, do you think a mere wall can block heavy artillery or a king in the air? The real protection is the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qiyu's face looked ugly. But when you think about it carefully, what Bai Minghe said was not unreasonable.

The two chatted in a low voice, and the auspicious time had arrived there. After a cannon, they dressed up incense and sacrificially worshipped the Dragon King. This was a necessary ceremony for the launch of the new ship in ancient China. The owner of the ship personally presided over. The big ship had big rituals, and the small boat also had small rituals. At the worst, there must be incense tables, and some snacks were placed on them as offerings.

As a princess, three animals are naturally indispensable. There are three long tables of offerings of fruits and melons.

The dock was filled with water, and the boat slowly slid into the waterway upside down, and then pulled by the tugboat to set up a seat. According to ancient etiquette, this also requires a ceremony to raise sails, but Huaiyu's boat has no sails.

The boiler began to heat up when sacrificing the Dragon King. A whistle shocked many people on the shore.

"Full speed!" Huai Yu was so worried that he shouted as soon as he got on the boat.

The boatman on the ship didn't know anything else, he only knew how to speed up. He opened the valve here and tried hard to add coal to the boiler. But the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and others had not boarded the ship yet, but saw that the ship was already moving slowly.

"This..." Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty pointed at the ship and thought to himself that I had not boarded the ship yet.

The huge wheel began to rotate, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The scene of a sudden tilt appeared on the waterway.

The bow of the boat was slightly away from the water, and even if it was only one second, it would shock the Baiminghe.

The bow of the boat is off the water and the tires are burned. This means that the power is far more obvious than the current speed. This is not a small speedboat. This is a large wooden boat of 1,300 materials. The oars are not at the rear, but only about three-quarters behind the hull. In this position, there is a head-turning movement, which is amazing.

The load was empty, and there was not even a single guest except for the necessary crew.

All the boats on the waterway leading to the Yangtze River quickly avoided the side. Huaiyu stood at the bow of the boat and just shouted: "Full speed, full speed!"

In an instant, the ship had disappeared at the exit of the waterway and rushed into the Yangtze River.

"Immediately call Baguakou and Qixialing Wharf to stop me." Bai Minghe shouted, and several guards went there quickly.

On the river, there are many cargo ships loaded on the Nanjing Wharf, some went directly to Little Luzon, and some were offshore ships heading to Suzhou and Hangzhou. The speed of these ships is only about seven or eight knots on the river flowing down the Yangtze River. After all, the wind here is not as strong as that at sea.

Huaiyu's ship weighs about twenty tons, which is big enough.

To describe it in modern terms, the Audi A8 engine is installed on the Otto bike, not to mention that Huaiyu's steam engine is still a high-speed steam engine. For a steam engine that does not require too much weight and only considers the speed, the powerful power makes the entire hull squeak, but the speed is also increased again and again.

If there is a speedometer on the ship, it will be close to the speed of twenty knots when entering the estuary of the Yangtze River.

As we went downstream, the speed on the wide river surface increased again, almost approaching the speed of twenty-five knots. It seems that there is still some margin, and it is very likely to reach the speed of twenty-seven knots.

The speed of fifty kilometers per hour is placed on the expressway in later generations, and this will be punished for the low speed.

But when it was placed on the Yangtze River that was as fast as a turtle, it shocked countless merchant ships. Huaiyu's bright yellow hull with red dark dragon patterns, coupled with the Ming dragon flag flying at the bow of the ship, all ships began to avoid it from afar.

Occupying the central waterway of the Yangtze River that is not available for emergency official duties, Huaiyu's boat whizzes by like a swordfish.

The waves caused several approaching boats to shake violently.

Two fast ships from the Baguazhou Waterway Guardian Camp entered the Yangtze River Waterway. Just now, they saw the boat. In the blink of an eye, the boat sped past their boats, let alone shouting or saying flags.

"Reported, the Baguazhou Waterway Guardian called, and the ship shook in front of him and passed."

"Reported that Qixia Wharf didn't stop it. The ship was too fast and they couldn't catch up at all." After the guard reported, he added: "Unless the river is blocked across the river!"

"No, what if you hit me? Notify me in turn, and the navy from Zhenjiang Prefecture and then to the sea estuary, no matter what, you have to block the river surface. You must not let her go out to sea. At the sea estuary, even if it hits, you must stop the ship. If necessary, you are allowed to block the river surface!"

Bai Minghe was also anxious. Huaiyu was too chaotic. She and Anqia were all lawless on the boat. Bai Minghe had no doubts at all. They really dared to go out to sea."

"Bai Minghe, how fast do you expect the boat to be?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Bai Minghe reminded him, Bai Minghe reacted: "Long live, I will answer you later." After replying to Zhu Qiyu, Bai Minghe said to the guards: "Another telegram is added, the speed of the ship is about 200 miles per hour. Let them be careful to stop it. If the speed hits head-on, even the White Shark can sank."

"Yes!" The guard responded loudly and trotted.

"Long live, I predict that it may reach 200 miles. It may even be higher. Judging from the movement of the ship at the moment it exits the waterway, it is obvious that the power is too strong and the ship is too small. In other words, a small carriage was pulled by sixteen horses. For horses, the weight of the carriage could be ignored."

"A good boat!" Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with the boat.

He was different from Bai Minghe. He was not worried about the damage to the ship. He would build it again anyway. If he hurts someone, as long as Huaiyu is fine, it would be easy to say, and the rest would comfort him. But Bai Minghe was really worried that if something happened to the ship, it would be a big deal.

If you hit a small boat on the river, the boat will definitely be destroyed.

With anxiety, Bai Minghe followed Zhu Qiyu away from the shipyard. They knew clearly that there was no result in waiting here.

About an hour later, Bai Minghe, who was resting in Xuanwu Lake, finally received a telegram.

"Sir, the ship stopped three miles away from Zhenjiang Mansion Naval Wharf. The people in Zhenjiang Mansion said that the hull was leaking. The craftsman also sent a telegram saying that the ship was too light and not strong enough. The bearings on the oar broke, and then the shaft turned directly on the hull, tearing a hole in the hull."

"Okay, okay, what a saying is too light!" Emperor Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu slapped the table suddenly.

"Yes, long live, what you said is, obviously this machine is very powerful." Wang Cheng echoed next to him.

"Bai Minghe!" Zhu Qiyu turned his gaze to Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe shook his head vigorously: "Long live, I beg you..."

"Okay, then transfer a big lucky ship over here. I don't need your White Shark anymore!" Zhu Qiyu wanted to see what would happen when the real big ship was used. Bai Minghe thought to be spared. He walked to Wang Cheng a few steps and said, "Wang Cheng, you can do it yourself. You must pick a boat well and pick it well!"

"I understand, so I will pick up the boat myself and then send it to the Nanjing Shipyard to start the renovation."

Wang Cheng told Bai Minghe with his eyes that he knew that he would definitely choose one.
Chapter completed!
