The nearly completed warships were made exquisitely because of the use of iron nails, the previous method of pouring lead liquid and then bundling them with iron smashing. The thin gap between the boat plate and the boat plate is no longer stuffed with often leaky wood chips, but squeezed into hemp rope and coated with a mixture of tung oil, lime pine tar. The rudder is the biggest improvement. Previously, there was no rudder, only the tail rotor, and the steering was not only clumsy but also slow.

When you went deep into the bottom of the cabin, you saw rows of dense ribs, with three rows of seats and three rows of pulp holes on both sides of the ship's side. Without testing, there was no time to train the pulp. Xiong Jing did not dare to use the pulp on the pulp boat rashly to avoid the pulp hand habitually lifting the pulp surface during the battle. In the middle of the bottom of the boat was a pieced together keel. Although it was tightly tied and tightened with rivets, Xiong Jing was still worried about the strength of the keel.

"Please don't worry, the dragon bones must be foolproof." Seeing the king carefully looking at the dragon bones, Gongshujian said like this.

"Is anyone already in the water?" Thinking about it, this is just a river warship, Xiong Jing is not so concerned about the dragon bone.

"The first two ships built were launched the water the day before yesterday." Gongshujian was nervous before the ship was launched, fearing that he would make a mistake. Although they were all ships, the shipbuilding process was completely overturned, and even the process was reversed. The great craftsmen invited from Yuedi were not used at all. Yuedi's craftsmen believed in the truth. Not only did they not help digest the new crafts, but they condemned the craftsmanship that violated the ancestral system. The new ship was basically made by Gongshujian and Chu Yue craftsmen.

"How?" Xiong Jing knew about Yue's artificial intelligence, so there was no good idea about it.

"General Red said that his speed was as fast as flying, light and convenient, but..." When he mentioned the comments of the general of the Zhou army, Gongshu couldn't help but smile. "However, he could not yet be able to hit the enemy ships skillfully. Before, he used a hook to fight like a formation, and he held a spear and halberd to fight."

The warships before had no keels, so they could only fight on the sidelines. It would be different if they had keels. Xiong Jing smiled and said, "Where is the ship?"

The two newly built three-sized warships were sailing on the Huai River at this time. The boat general Ou Zhe, Bi of the Great Engineer Division, Lu Zhuo, a doctor who was engaged in water battles, and some Vietnamese ship officials all stood at the bow. The biggest difference between single-sized warships and three-sized warships is the speed, even if they are against the current, the speed of the three-sized warships is far greater than that of single-sized warships. However, because the three-sized hand ate the height of the side, they could only stand on the unobstructed deck. When the river wind blows, everyone feels like they are returning with the wind.

"This boat has no sideways, so it is not convenient to fight hard." New things are always a little uncomfortable, and a Yueman ship official said.

"When you fight with a shield, who should Zhou Yan?" The general of the Zhou army, Ou Zhe, was completely excited to get a new toy, but because he was considering these shipbuilders, his joy was not very obvious.

"The hook is strong or a little inconvenient." Doctor Lu Zhuo understood water warfare. He thought that new warships were good, but they lacked the side of the ship. "Kuang..." and that the place where the drum was originally placed was occupied by the steering wheel, so the drum could only be moved forward.

"New boats are better than old boats, and this is all a trivial matter." Bi from the Great Gongshi District was very old, and he had an indescribable alienation with the people of Chu, but his shipbuilding skills were highly praised. When Yue and Wei formed an alliance, King Xiang of Wei was built by his father. At this point, the Central Plains countries all used Yue ships as the same as Yue ships and built them; Qi State began with King Xiang of Qi, and both generations of Qi Kings had invited him to become an official in Qi, but he refused.

"What do you think of this boat?" Lu Zhuo was also a Yue man, and seemed to be conscious. The Chu army led all on another boat.

"This boat is far better than the old boat, and the Qin people will lose." Qu Bi did not intervene in the construction of the new ship, for the complicated reason. When the first rib was installed on the keel, he knew that the new ship was far better than the old boat, but his inexplicable pride made him unwilling to intervene in the construction of the new ship. He was not there when the new ship was launched the day before yesterday, so today I quietly boarded the ship and took a look at the new ship.

"The king was born to know that he was good at all craftsmen. Everyone in the building house was convinced, and there was no surprise to create a new boat." There were three rows of paddles, and the shipyard was not far away. Ouzhe didn't want to be so disappointed.

"The king is also a wise king." Lu Zhuo said after sighing. "I heard that, the king is willing to restore the country."

"Restore the country?!" The one who responded the most intensely was Qu Bi. He focused on building ships and never heard of such news. "How to restore the country?"

"I don't know." Lu Zhuo shook his head, his voice became a little weaker. "But the Yue historian has gone to Yingdu and said he wanted to compile the history of the Yue Kingdom."

"I heard about this too." Even though the dock was about to be approaching, Ouzhe couldn't help but interrupt. "It was said that it was to reject the Qin people, and the king wanted to restore the country. The people of the court emphasized culture and education as the policy of restoring the country. The nobles of Chu did not want it, but the king said that they would not have enough money and not change their official positions, so the nobles gave up."

You can already see the king and Gongshujian on the shore. Ou Chou said very quickly, while saying a word, while bowing to the king on the shore, others bowed to him, including Qu Bi. It seemed that he wanted to show his skills in front of the king. The ship clerk who calculated the distance had already asked the shark to stop rowing. The forty-ton warship floated to the dock like a light boat. However, the tail rotor used to turn before, but now the tail rotor is not used, and the wheel rudder is used. The new ship's wheel rudder is very sensitive. The ship clerk turned his head. Although he quickly turned around and corrected, the side of the ship inevitably touched the dock, splashing a splash.

The Yue people were playing tricks when they were docked. The one commanded by Chu Rui was not so bold to drift. Under the command of the ship officer, the warship began to turn far away and went straight to the shore. Without turning, the distance of the ship officer could still judge. The warship was calmly stopped behind the ship. The army, the ship officer, the soldiers, and the soldiers on the ship all got off the ship and bowed to Xiong Jing.

"How about the new ship?" Xiong Jing was finally built. Looking at the two three-sized warships, he felt quite proud.

"I would like to remind the king that the new ship is like a huge iron, and the old ship is like a defeat, and it is unstoppable. Our Chu State will win." Hong Chu was a native of Chu, and his position was still above Ouzhe, and his voice was loud.

"Tell the king: the new boat is far better than the old boat." Ou Zhe answered after the Hong Kong Shu finished speaking. The neighbor of him did not speak. Lu Zhuo said after he finished speaking: "Tell the king, with this boat, my boat master will definitely beat the Qin people."

When the Qin people were mentioned, Xiong Jing's pride became dispensable, and such a ship was not difficult to imitate. He turned around and asked Xiang Gongshujian: "How many ships can be built before going to Daliang in May?"

"King, the boat ribs are insufficient, so you can only use new materials. In this way, there can be forty-three ships." Gongshujian said. The keel can be spliced, but there are only one keel, and the boat ribs have thirty or forty, and it has to be bent. Splicing will definitely delay the construction period.

"How can new materials be used for a ship of dozens of gold?" The ship is small and uses less wood, but it also costs a lot of money. A forty-ton ship costs thirty gold, and the new materials are not dry. It is very troublesome to replace it in the future. If it is not replaced, it will not last long. Although there are more than a thousand warships of Chu, this is the book number. After the annexation of the Vietnamese Kingdom, the water war has decreased, and there are not many warships that are truly complete and available.

"What can I do if I don't need new materials?" Gong Shujian said strangely. He suddenly thought of the materials for building sea ships.

"There are many palaces in the Chu Palace. I see that the wooden rafters are suitable for boat ribs. If you remove some, you will have ribs." Xiong Jing replied.

"You must not." Lu Zhuo quickly advised. "The palace is the foundation of the country, so how can you just tear it down?"

"What's wrong?" Xiong Jing asked back. "The palace is not as beautiful as the boatman. How can he win without a good boat? How can he be a boat without good materials? Let's start dismantling today, and dismantle whatever materials you want. Also," Looking at the stunned people, Xiong Jing said again: "The sea boat can't wait, and after building the warship, he started construction of the sea boat."

"King," Lu Zhuo no longer dared to persuade him. Gongshujian said: "The keel bone of a sea boat is more than one foot thick and more than ten feet long. This, this..."

"Isn't there Duzhu?" Xiong Jing was a little impatient when Gongshujian was doing this and that. But when he said Duzhu, Gongshujian immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The historian behind Xiong Jing also widened his eyes and recorded them all quickly.

In the pre-Qin palaces, all had Du pillars. Du pillars are the beams, rafters and other things of the entire palace. They can be added if they are demolished. If the Du pillars are removed, the entire palace will have to be demolished; and a Du pillar is only ten or twenty meters, and a keel of more than thirty meters needs to be demolished to form two palaces. It is a waste of resources to demolish two palaces for a sea boat.

The Yingdu Palace was built under the command of Gongshujian. Now that it is about to be demolished, how can he stand? But Xiong Jing has already counted the total number of palaces in the country - there are at least 400 gold per sea ship, so there is no way out. Then, we will demolish all the palaces of Chu and use the wood to build ships. Anyway, the wood in the palace is also the best nanmu and camphor wood.

"You must not!" All the hundreds of boat soldiers knelt down, "The palace is the foundation of the country, how can it be demolished?"

"A big mistake! The foundation of the country is the soldiers of the water and land armies, and the patriotism and warfare of the people. What does it have to do with the palace?" Xiong Jing did not deliberately say to the soldiers to demolish the palace. This idea began to be brewing last year, but he didn't dare to say it out last year. "Wait, you haven't even taken a warship like this."

When he came to the shipyard, he had to take a boat. At the welcome of the red wall, Xiong Jing, Gongshujian and others stood on the Sanji warship. As the hand began to swing the slurry, the warship left the shore lightly. Because it was going along the water, the boat was very fast, and the spring breeze blew on his face. Xiong Jing was not just on the boat, but soon he was nodding at the temple man beside him. One temple man carefully took out a glass hourglass, which was made by Lu Li’s man recently. Another temple man took out a prepared speed test rope and prepared to throw the rope. The third temple man took out a paper and pen to prepare for recording.

"Are you sure you have all your hands?" Xiong Jing asked Xiang Honglu.

"Report to the king, there are 124 soldiers, all of them." Hong Liu replied.

"Beat the drum! Test the speed at full speed." Xiong Jing ordered.
