Chapter 405 Three Small Progresses More than twenty miles away from Mingzhou Port, there is a medium-sized port, which is in sharp contrast to the bustling Mingzhou Port.
There are not many trading ships or busy port workers here, but only well-organized craftsmen.
Yes, this is the shipyard built by the great nobles of Chang'an who collectively went south.
At this time, these three huge ships were parked in the huge dock.
The flowing lines and the beautiful hull are as intimidating as a dragon in the sea! These three ships are the ships designed by Ji Qing and others, and they are almost completed at this time.
As long as some finishing touches are done, it can be launched into the water for trial sea trials.
Ji Qing, Wang Xuance, and Liu Xiancheng were all dressed in tight-fitting shorts. The climate in the south made the three northern teenagers become much darker.
However, the difficult environment also made them lose their original youthfulness and become more stable.
"We didn't go to your husband's wedding, but this time when my junior brother or sister is born, we have to go, and these three big ships are a gift to your husband."
Ji Qing can be said to be the most outstanding clan member of Ji's generation.
Whether it is doing things or learning martial arts, he is the best among his peers, and the three of them are also vaguely led by him.
Hearing what Ji Qing said, Liu Xiancheng nodded and said: "That's right! I've been waiting to come to the south for several years, and now I finally have some results. It's time to go back and give an explanation to my husband."
The three of them left their homes and came to the south. In order to understand the performance of sea ships, they even took a boat out to sea in person. They encountered storms, saw dragons sucking water, and saw undersea volcanoes erupting. The ship was almost destroyed and everyone died.
Fortunately, there were guards from the Hou Mansion guarding him, so he didn't end up dead!
After several years, they finally designed three ship types. As long as this trial is successful, they can be finalized.
By then, with the shipbuilding materials accumulated over the years, the large number of shipbuilding craftsmen, and strong financial support, a maritime fleet will soon be built.
This is their confidence in building these three ships. No one knows the performance of these three ships better than them.
They dare to say that these three experimental ships are already the most perfect ships in the world.
They gave up a lot of useless things, there was no double-layer or three-layer structure, and they did not pursue maximizing cargo capacity.
They sacrifice so much just to ensure the safety and speed and aggression of the ship! In order to maximize the speed, expensive Sichuan brocade was used as the sail, and the original hard sail was changed into a soft sail.
For the first time, the hull uses an entire keel, and also adopts a sealed cabin and water-proof compartment design to ensure that the ship can still travel normally after hitting a rock.
"Do you think we can do it this time?" Wang Xuance said a little unconfidently! "To shut up!"
"Can you please remove the word "?" behind you!"
Wang Xuance's words immediately caused the other two people to look at him angrily!
Shrink your head and shut up! He has suffered a lot in the past few years. Whenever their shipbuilding reaches a bottleneck, he will find ways to relieve the pressure.
This is what the teacher taught them, and the way to relieve stress is to fight until they are exhausted.
If that's all it is, then that's fine, but why is it me who gets hurt every time? It turned out that Wang Xuance was also seeking death. He had just learned martial arts and was no match for them.
But who told him to be mean-mouthed? Others are playing well, but you insist on being sarcastic and rude.
Then you can't blame others. I didn't say anything about beating you. Every time I was beaten, your nose was bruised and your face was swollen. You were so stubborn and refused to repent! But there is also an advantage, that is, his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. He already had a good foundation, but after a period of careful training by Ji Song, and with two good 'partners', he can't even think about improving! The beatings happened too many times, which left a shadow in my heart. Now I don’t dare to stab him anymore, I am very docile.
But in front of these two people, he never lowered his head outside! "Okay, he is so virtuous, why do you listen to him?" Ji Qing stopped Liu Xiancheng and told him not to be as knowledgeable as Wang Xuance.
"Humph!"
Ji Qing also had a headache. It seemed that these two people were incapable of dealing with each other. As long as they were together again, something would happen.
But it’s just that there’s something about his character that I can’t deal with, so he turns around and forgets about it.
"We will go to sea in half a month. You all should keep an eye on us and make sure we don't make any mistakes, otherwise we may not be able to go back."
Ji Qing warned the two of them. My husband said that at this time, we should be more calm. There are many people who walk a hundred paces and half a hundred steps.
You can't be careless until you are completely successful, and you must be prepared for all possible unexpected situations!
"Hey! Do you think my husband's child this time will be a boy or a girl?"
Just after the quarrel, Xiao Wang said, as if what he just said was not his! Liu Xiancheng said angrily: "Who would have known before I was born that I would say something useless? If you have nothing to do, go and see if the isinglass is up to standard, you will save yourself another problem!"
"you……"
Since last time Xiao Wang was careless and did not check the isinglass properly, which almost caused a disaster, and now he hates people talking about it.
"What are you doing? Are you ready to fight again?" Liu Xiancheng asked provocatively.
"Hmph! I won't fight with you, a barbarian!"
Xiao Wang was scared when he heard it. If he could beat him, he would have done it by now. The key is that he can't beat him!
Ji Qing looked at the two treasures speechlessly and said, "I still hope that my husband's first child will be a boy, so that many people will feel relieved! It will also save a lot of trouble!"
"Too!"
The other two people also nodded in agreement. It is true that the first-born boy is better!
It's not that the girl is bad, it's that the Ji family doesn't even have an heir now, which worries many people who are attached to the Ji family.
If something unexpected happens to Ji Song, this good situation will fall apart in an instant, so they can't help but worry! "Okay! Let's not talk about this for now. What's the use of us being anxious? Whether it's a boy or a girl can only depend on God's will!"
Ji Qing stopped the topic and said: "You have worked hard these days. Xiancheng, you are responsible for supervising various projects. There must be no deviation!"
"Xiao Wang, you are responsible for the acceptance of various materials. If it happens again..."
"If something goes wrong again, I'll... I'll jump into the sea and feed the fish!" Xiao Wang said with a blushing face.
"Then I'll be waiting. If you don't dare to go down, I'll help you!" Liu Xiancheng said with squinting eyes.
Ji Qing didn't try to dissuade him. With the lesson learned last time, with this kid's stubborn character, nothing would go wrong this time.
After the three people assigned the work, they went about their business. Their time was very tight, and they had to hurry up if they wanted to complete the work on time.
Looking at the deep sea in the distance, Ji Qing clenched his fists. He knew that building a ship was the beginning! The gentleman wrote that their journey is on the other side of the sea, where is the final destination, and the royal family is also involved in this plan...
