In order to adapt to the needs of long-distance navigation, Wuhan Institute of Technology has been vigorously studying long-distance navigation technologies. These navigation technologies not only involve the ship itself, but also related technologies such as compass.

Chen Chu, dressed in casual clothes, came to the Wuyan Academy with the support of the iron wall guards and asked the officer at the door. Zhou Tai was indeed here. Chen Chu brought a group of iron wall guards to the port on the Luo River in the Wuyan Academy. A ship that was much larger than what Chen Chu saw before was presented to him. Chen Chu couldn't help but exclaim, and Dian Wei and the others were also extremely shocked. They found that Chen Chu's Wuyan Academy staff were shocked and saluted quickly.

Chen Chu walked quickly to the front. At this time, the godhusband, Zhou Tai and others discovered that the emperor Chen Chu had arrived silently, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Chen Chu waved his hand, "Okay!" He glanced at the ship in front of him and sighed: "This guy is really shocking!"

Ganfu and other members of the Wushu Research Institute couldn't help but show a look of joy. The hard work over the past few days has finally been recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, which is their greatest honor.

The large ship in front of everyone must be more than 60 meters long, with a huge size, the head of the ship is V-shaped, and the overall flowing line is in a streamlined shape. There are three rows of gun doors on both sides, which have firepower exceeds all previous warships.

Ganfu looked at the masterpiece of his own group in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "This ship combines all the advanced shipbuilding technologies we currently master. I'm sure it will be able to deal with all the problems in the ocean!"

Chen Chu nodded, "I am very satisfied with this ship! By the way, does it have a name!"

Ganfu and others clasped their fists very tactfully and said, "I beg your Majesty to give you a name!"

Chen Chu laughed and thought, "This ship can take us to the Milky Way in the Sky, just call it the 'Galaxy'!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

From then on, the "Galaxy" became the name of a heavy ocean-going ship like the Great Qin Empire.

Chen Chu asked: "How many 'Galaxy' type warships are there at present?"

The Ganfu replied: "Two ships! The other three are under construction! You can be launched in one month!"

Chen Chu frowned and said, "The situation in the east is not optimistic, we must support them immediately! Youping!~~"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Tai said with his fists.

"Your soldiers are familiar with the performance of the Galaxy as soon as possible! How long will it take?"

Zhou Tai thought for a moment, "Three days!"

Chen Chu knew that Zhou Tai would not lie, so he nodded, "Three days later, you come to my place to report!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chen Chu said to Ganfu: "Old Gan, starting today, all shipbuilding forces will be used to build the 'Galaxy'! tentatively sixteen ships! Is there any problem?"

Ganfu said: "There are no other problems, but the funds and materials consumed by this 'Galaxy' are very huge, I'm afraid ~~!"

Chen Chu thought for a while, "It seems that I have to negotiate with the cabinet!"

Chen Chu returned to the palace and summoned the left-behind cabinet ministers to tell the situation of the "Galaxy". Everyone was both excited and a little embarrassed. No wonder the construction cost of the "Galaxy" was so huge, but there was no return in a short period of time.

Lu Su clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to build too many Galaxy. You can use Galaxy as a flagship and other ships to achieve your goal!"

Chen Chu shook his head, "I am not only considering the current problems. The current connection between our Western continents is not much different from that of decades ago. However, the rising maritime trade has developed rapidly. In time, the ocean will definitely become a link for the connections between countries, and whoever can control the ocean will be able to gain hegemony! Therefore, we must maintain the absolute advantage of maritime power!"

The cabinet ministers showed a thoughtful look, and Zhou Yu said with emotion: "Your Majesty has great vision and knowledge, but I am far from it!" Everyone nodded with deep consent.

Chen Chu smiled slightly and asked, "Do you have any opinions on building the 'Galaxy'?"

Everyone exchanged glances and clasped their fists together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Yu said, "But there is no need to rush to build the 'Galaxy'. After all, there is no force that can challenge the empire's maritime power at present. We can build it in batches and eliminate old warships at the same time, so that the financial burden will be much lighter!"

Chen Chu nodded, "What Gongjin said is so! Just do that!"

Five days later, Zhou Tai led a three thousand advance team to set off from the wharf. The advance team had a total of 17 large ships, two of which were "Galaxy" and five heavy "Shuttle Ships". The other ten were all modified from large merchant ships. The advance team carried a large number of firearms, including artillery and sky-blasting thunder, etc. In addition, there were many specialties from the Central Plains, which were used to buy local people. Xu Shu was the head of the advance team. After all, in the distant East, a simple warrior like Zhou Tai could not stand alone.

There is an unknown island more than ten miles west of the coast of the New World. At present, the Qin Empire's expedition team is stationed here. The number of people has been reduced from more than 600 people to less than 400 people. A few of them died of illness during the previous voyage, and the vast majority were killed in conflicts with local indigenous people not long ago. In fact, the expedition team did not intend to attack anyone at the beginning. After seeing the local indigenous people, they gave gifts very friendly. The indigenous people were also very friendly at the beginning. They returned the gifts with local specialties, but they raided the expedition team's camp that night. Fortunately, the guards in charge of the guards fought to the death, otherwise the more than 400 people who landed on the island would be killed. After losing nearly half of the personnel, the expedition team finally retreated to the beach, retreated to the sea under the cover of naval guns, and then retreated to the deserted island.

"There is no problem with food and fresh water, but everyone's emotions are very unstable!" Zhang Tao said worriedly. He was the navigator and deputy of the entire expedition team. Of course, he had never been to the New World, but his rich sailing experience can help everyone move forward. The captain of the expedition team was Zhang Tie. He was once a smuggling merchant with an adventurous spirit and had been in the ocean more than once. At that time, Chen Chu originally planned to send two other people, but he changed his mind temporarily.

Zhang Tie frowned and asked, "Are there any reply from Luoyang?"

Zhang Tao shook his head, "Not yet! Sir, I wonder if Luoyang has received it? This endless ocean!"

Zhang Tie ordered: "I'll send another group of carrier pigeons later!"

"yes!"

At this time, a guard ran in. "Sir, your majesty's flying pigeon passes the letter!"

The two of them couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Zhang Tie took the letter and read it quickly, saying happily: "That's great! Your Majesty sent General Zhou Tai and Lord Xu Shu to lead an advance team to set off!"

Zhang Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I finally waited for this news! Sir, what did Your Majesty ask us to do?"

"Your Majesty asked us to find a suitable place to build a forward base! It seems that your Majesty has made a big move on the New World!"

Zhang Tao thought, "On the way we came, we passed an island. It was very large and seemed deserted. It was not far from the New World, and it was dozens of miles west of this!"

Zhang Tie thought for a moment and nodded, "Send a team to investigate immediately!" "Yes!"

Not long after, more than a hundred crew members and guards left the deserted island on an ocean-going ship and headed to the island where they planned to establish a base for advance. The island is not small in area, dozens of square kilometers, with dense vegetation and mountains and rivers on it, just like a concentrated continent. Generally speaking, humans will live on such islands.

The team arrived at the sea surface of the destination in the early morning of the next day. Then more than thirty people left the big boat in two small boats and carefully headed towards the island.

Soon after, they logged in and searched in three groups.

The ship did not receive any information from the island-based personnel in the next two days, and they couldn't help but feel a bad feeling.

The third day came, and the people who had disappeared for two days suddenly appeared in sight, with a lot of people on the boat. The people on the boat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had been worrying for the past two days.

Then the ocean-going ship was sent back to the temporary base, and they brought back a very good news that the islands where the advance base were scheduled to be established had no traces of inhabited people, and there was fresh water. All the conditions were much better than the places they were currently staying.

Zhang Tie immediately decided to go to the island with the temporary base. Zhang Tie gave the island a name, "Penglai", which implies the distant and misty meaning.

After Zhang Tie led everyone to the island, he began to cut down trees to build a camp. After he was busy, everyone's mood improved a lot.

His eyes turned back to Luoyang.

Chen Chu felt that he had never been as comfortable as he is now. The war seemed to be gradually fading away, and the focus of the country was quietly changing. Chen Chu was feeling relieved and felt a little uncomfortable. No wonder, after so many years of war, war has become a part of his life. It is indeed a bit melancholy to lose it suddenly. However, Chen Chu was also very pleased. He was extremely proud of looking at this huge empire he created with his own hands. History has changed and will definitely be completely different in the future. Perhaps all kinds of sufferings from the nations in the future will not happen again.

"Brother! Why are you here alone?" Zhen Mi asked softly.

Chen Chu turned around and smiled and said, "Why is Mi'er coming? Do you miss your elder brother?"
