"I finally saw the truth after living for two lifetimes!" On the sixth day of the eighth day of the second year of Jing Yan, this was a normal day, but Zhao Bing was a little excited. He wandered on the dock for a long time, but his eyes did not leave the "big figure" floating on the water in front of him.?                                                                                                                                                                                                                       �

Zhao Bing wanted to come and take a look when the first turtle ship was renovated, but was persuaded by Ying Jieyan and others, so he was unable to participate in the voyage, which made him very regretful. After the renovation of the ten turtle ships scheduled, Zhou Xiang saw that there were many materials left and asked His Highness whether he could build a turtle ship from beginning to end, to avoid wasting materials; and the other way, the craftsmen could familiarize themselves with all the processes so that they could accumulate experience for the future rebuilding. He thought about it and agreed that the warship was for war, and it was impossible to lose money when he went to the battlefield. It was also possible to prepare an additional turtle ship as a training ship. Besides, Zhou Xiang said it was quite reasonable.

Hang himself, the designer, did not participate, and he didn't want to miss it again this time. He begged the three masters for a long time to finally let them agree to leave the mansion in the name of inspecting the coastal defense. As for what boat he took, he didn't say, so he had the opportunity to see the true appearance of the turtle ship. When he arrived at the dock, Yingjie Yan found that what Your Highness was going to be on was not the imperial ship, but this strange-shaped turtle ship. But he couldn't help but let His Highness face in public and could only agree, but he was also very curious about it and took the opportunity to find out.

"Master Zhou, why is the carving in the bow of this ship like a dragon or a dragon?" Zhao Bing looked at the beast's head for a while and asked Zhou Xiang who was accompanying him.

"That's how your highness's ship looks like!" Zhou Xiang squeezed his eyes and said, "This sacred legend is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It is like a lion, and likes to spit out clouds and mist. It can eat tigers and leopards. It also means that all the mighty beasts follow it. It is in line with its setting. Everyone praises Your Highness for its ingenious conception!"

"Okay, the carvings are so realistic, they are simply real." Zhao Bing immediately realized as soon as he was reminded. This dragon was already the emperor's exclusive property in the Song Dynasty. If others use it, they are arbitrarily. The authentic dragon son and dragon grandson can only wear four-fingered python robe. It is not possible to use a boat dragon. Fortunately, his carvings are limited, and the carvings look like but not like. In addition to being a decoration to scare the enemy, the dragon head also burns poison from its mouth to cover up and confuse the enemy's army, but the craftsmen mistakenly think it is a silhouette.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise!" Zhou Xiang bowed with a smile on his face.

"How do you call this ship?" Zhao Bing asked curiously. The sticks were called turtle ships because of their shaped like turtles. He wanted to see how the ancient Chinese viewed it.

"Don't the boat!" Zhou Xiang replied immediately, but possessed himself in His Highness's ear and whispered, "Everyone calls him Dragon Boat in private!"

"Okay, good name..." Zhao Bing said repeatedly after hearing this. But in his heart, our ancestors were smarter, well-educated and tasted than kangzi. This is the nickname of 黑址, which looks like a turtle but is not a turtle. It is one of the dragons, just like a turtle, which is much better than a turtle, although the turtle has a good reputation in this era.

"Your Highness, please board the ship!" Chen Renweng saw that His Highness had seen a few times, and he asked what he should ask. It was probably almost done, so he bowed deeply.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing took the initiative to step on the gangway and boarded the boat from the front cabin door. He looked at it specifically. There was only a platform less than half a foot left between the bulkhead and the side of the ship, which could only accommodate one foot. It was impossible to complete the jumping gang with such a small place.

"Commander Chen, is this ship safe?" Ying Jieyan asked softly when he saw His Highness get on board.

"Don't worry, although this is a new ship, it has undergone more than a dozen trial voyages. This time I returned to the port, I installed a crossbow, and the sailors were selected from each ship, so there would never be any problems." Chen Renweng replied with bowing.

"This is the best. If there is a little mistake, I will never forgive you." Ying Jieyan nodded, but still warned.

"After an accident, I will be the only general to be the military law!" Chen Zeweng also replied solemnly.

Zhao Bing didn't have so many concerns, at least he had to have confidence in himself! After entering the cabin, he went straight to the bottom cabin. Chen Zeweng wanted to step forward to lead, but was pulled by Zhou Xiang because he knew that if the prince knew the ship second in this world, everyone would dare to be the first. In fact, this is true. Although he had never seen the real thing, the drawings and the ship were all from his hands, and every part inside was engraved in his mind at any position. Even if he closed his eyes, he would not make a mistake.

Because the hull of the turtle ship is closed, and the bottom cabin underwater is even darker, and it is entirely illuminated by crystal lamps hanging on the bulkhead. There is a reason for such a luxurious configuration. In addition to placing a bail, the bottom cabin is often used as a warehouse to make full use of all space. There is also a large amount of living and combat supplies stored inside, which are flammable materials, and once a fire occurs, it will spread to the entire cabin. The boat sways violently on the sea, and ordinary lamp stands are open, and just a spark is splashed off, it is very easy to cause fire.

Under the current conditions, the candle can only be closed with crystals to avoid accidental fires. The cost of improvement is a little higher, but it is nothing compared to the value of a ship and the lives of officers and soldiers. Moreover, it also conforms to Zhao Bing's usual principle of spending money on the edge of the knife. Do not underestimate such improvements, as it is very likely that a little improvement can change the victory of a battle.

Adapting to the dark environment, Zhao Bing continued to move forward. The cabin was filled with a faint smell of tung oil and paint, but he didn't want the pungent and smoky feeling of modern chemical paints. He looked while walking, and stomped the bottom plate from time to time and knocked on the cabin. However, the prince's little movements made Zhou Xiang, who was following behind, very nervous. He knew that experienced craftsmen could judge the thickness of the wooden board by listening to the echo and whether there was a gap in the overlapping cabin. His Highness was obviously aimless.

"Yes, real materials, fine workmanship, and the warehouse division is reasonable, but remember not to place daily necessities and combat materials in the same place. The passage must be cleaned, and no items are allowed to be stacked, and it is always smooth!" Zhao Bing turned around and pointed with a small finger, "In addition, the water warehouse should be cleaned regularly, and the storage level should not be over five days. Be careful to replenish at any time to avoid sudden wars and misleading things."

"Yes, yes..." Several people accompanying the visitors nodded repeatedly and said yes, just about to take a small book to listen to and record. This made Zhao Bing suddenly have the illusion that he looked like "Three Fatty"... (To be continued.)
