810. August 15, 2008, sunny; the east of the 30,000-mile river enters the sea

The induction ceremony between Zhou Yingxue and Chen Sufeng was originally scheduled to be hosted by Song Beiyun, but Zhao Xing refused to accept it and insisted on witnessing the big guy going into the water in person.

So the enrollment ceremony, which had been planned for two months, was changed to preside over by Zhao Xinglai.

Those who don’t know thought that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty came to Haizhou in person just to launch this ship. The East China Sea Army was very morale because of this matter. Now everyone is waiting for the giant ship to launch and beat up the Japanese pirates who bullied the people of the Song Dynasty.

And this is not without side effects, that is, Song Beiyun's mood value was reduced by five points, and even Zhao Xing gave Song Beiyun a naval marshal on the spot, he couldn't coax him.

On this day, the wind is bright and the sun is coming. It is about to come. The sea breeze is gentle and the sea surface is calm. The red flag is waving everywhere in the wind, and the crowds are also gathering on the port, quietly waiting for this giant ship to open the curtain of an era.

"Inject water!"

With a shout, the thousand-pound baffle in the groove in the dock was slowly pulled open by the pulley, and the sea water poured into the dock, and the huge ship floated quietly on it. Although there were hundreds of steel cables as thick as wrists around it, the sea water still made it shake gently.

"unlock!"

With the first crisp sound of the steel cable breaking, hundreds of thick steel cables began to liberate one after another. With the unblocking of the steel cable, the salute began to fire. Every time a steel cable breaks, a sound of cannon sounds.

At this moment, the most excited person was not Zhao Xing and Song Beiyun, but Zhou Yingxue and Chen Sufeng, who had been worried all night, were both worried about the 38th balance lock disconnected, but the ship was still stationary on the water. The two couldn't help but hugging each other and cried, and the crying even overwhelmed the roar of the salute.

When all the balance locks were disconnected, only one main lock was left in the giant ship and was still traction. The main lock was covered with a red cloth, and a symbolic large lock was hung on the red cloth.

Zhao Xing was wearing a gorgeous dress at this moment, like a fancy whistle to worship his ancestors. He took a key and came to the main lock with everyone. He took a deep breath and took out the letter of surrender to the world and handed it to the eunuch next to him.

When the eunuch received this kind of manifesto, he began to read it loudly. When the letter to the world was read, all the fireworks and firecrackers around him were lit up, and everyone at the port also entered a state of excitement. Everyone was looking forward to this last moment.

Zhao Xing used the key to open the copper lock, and was immediately covered by someone to evacuate quickly. Then he saw an explosive on the huge weight-bearing cement block in the distance, which directly broke the main lock.

In an instant, the giant ship seemed to have lost its restraint and retreated from the dock and rushed into the sea. At the moment it entered the sea, the huge splashes of water started to stir up like a tsunami.

The big ship shook back and forth on the water for a few times, and then stopped there steadily. Someone from above climbed up to the top of the mast and began to wave flags.

"Everything is OK!"

As soon as the words finished, the audience was in full bloom. Not only were all the officers and soldiers cheering, but even the people watching the ceremony at the port cheered together.

Then the huge sail that had to be driven by a steam boiler slowly rose up, and the big ship slowly sailed out of the port, swayed around in the distance and slowly returned to the port.

After it returned again, the surrounding fleets were also prepared, and the flag bearers on each battleship played flag words and applied for entry.

This scene made the dozen generals who were shot down cry out in jealousy. Everyone fantasized that they were the one standing on the flagship. Even if they were not, they were majestic on the main ship next to them...

At this moment, all the baffles of the gun bays on the giant ship were suddenly pushed away, and then the naval guns on both sides were pushed out. In a moment, thousands of cannons flicked together, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be shattered.

The port also wanted to respond to them. After both sides saluted each other for a while, a melodious whistle sound suddenly came from the giant ship, echoing for a long time.

At this point, the enrollment ceremony is coming to an end. The First Fleet of the Song Dynasty will go down the coast to carry out tasks and complete tests. The first task is to eliminate Japanese pirates along the coast.

"I want to get on the boat."

"What's the hurry?" Song Beiyun whispered: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I just slept well if I had anything to do, I want to get on the boat."

"Boat? What kind of boat?" Song Beiyun seemed to be pretending to be stupid: "You talk about boats? A few days ago, more than ten duck boats were thrown into the artificial lake not far away. You can move with your feet, which is so fun."

"I don't want to step on a duck boat!"

Speaking of duck boats, Song Beiyun also found it interesting. The artificial lake was originally a big pit left by the building when soil was collected. Then the big pit formed an inner lake due to the backflow of sea water.

Song Beiyun simply changed that area into a park, which became a place for officers, soldiers and the people to relax.

I don’t know one day, a senior engineer made a small boat driven by a chain to please his children, and used wooden boards to make small animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. Later, the others naturally did not admit defeat after seeing it. Then, they rolled out more than a dozen boats inwards, and they even started to toss the electric version.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Zhao Xing pointed to the giant ship traveling out in the distance: "I want to get on that ship."

"Let's talk about the duck boat." Song Beiyun stared at the Qianfan Fleet in the distance with his hands behind his back: "How?"

"I don't want a duck boat!"

The fleet finally left, and Song Beiyun felt empty, just like an old father who sent his child out to go to college.

But he also knew that this was the mission of the fleet. Whether it was swimming in the sea or burying at the bottom of the sea, it was the mission of a ship.

At this moment, the Japanese pirates' fleet passed Hangzhou Bay and was about to arrive in Chuzhou. They did not attack Hangzhou Bay because that place was a major city, and just a volley of the coastal defense artillery could knock them into pieces.

They are not stupid. All they want is to force Nanjing to negotiate with Heianjing, and they don’t need to pay for their lives.

So for the commander of this fleet, this mission was very simple and easy.

While enjoying the food they robbed in a seaside town, they were thinking about where to land. Anyway, they didn't have to be afraid of the encirclement of the East China Sea Army when they went to the north, so they could be considered as restless after passing Hangzhou Bay.

"Remember, grab money and eat, don't kill people." The commander said to the person under his opponent: "Don't over-angry Song."

"But what's the difference? Sir."

They still use Chinese when speaking. After all, these people are noble and superior people in Japan, and only superior people are worthy of speaking Chinese.

"Once we kill people, we will die." The commander was a very smart man, otherwise he would not have taken the largest fleet in Japan's history to sea: "Song Gong will never die with us. Simply plundering will not alarm the army, and their navy will not catch up with our speedboats. But if they alarm their army, they will bombard us with guns at the next port."

"Sir, we're almost here."

One of the first mates walked up and handed over the telescopes they bought from Song Guo. They saw the land that appeared in the distance. After determining the location from their nautical chart, they could be sure that the land that was their soon-to-be destination Chuzhou.

"very good!"

He put down his telescope and stood up: "Prepare to dock!"

In this action, they will walk along the coastline and then go around Shandong and return to Japan after arriving in Haizhou.

In this way, Lord Yuan can negotiate with the Song Dynasty in the name of the Qing Japanese, at least he will not let the Fujiwara family gossip in the sect leader country, and may not even completely replace the Fujiwara family's status in the Song Dynasty.

“Go ahead at full speed!”

At this moment, the First Fleet of the Song Dynasty, which came down from Haizhou, had entered a stable period, and the engineers and scientific researchers on the ship had already begun the first day of data collection.

The weather is very good today, the wind on the sea makes the sails bulge and the speed is normal. Because the hull is huge and heavy, it is not as bumpy as imagined. In addition, the application of various new technologies, there is almost no shaking in such a stable sea surface.

The soldiers on the ship also began routine training. As the captain of the flagship, Dahei Niu was implementing the training plan seriously and responsibly.

"Damn Japanese pirates." The big black bull stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Bibo Wuyin in front of him, turned to the eldest mate and said, "Just look at the fleet of more than one hundred people, and directly tell them the flag words to stop them for inspection. All ships that do not accept will hang the bull flag for me and hit the fuck."

What does it mean to bully people by weight? This is to bully people by weight. On this giant ship, the bow of the ship is almost made of metal, with angles and support frames attached, so the bow of the ship looks particularly sharp. As long as an ordinary ship is hit by it, it will not sink, but it may be divided into two.

"General, the general said... let you save some money."

"The Grand Marshal is not here, you are afraid of a basket of dogs and chickens." The big black bull spat: "Crash! It's all done."

Whether it is the fleet of the Song Dynasty or the fleet of the Japanese, no one can imagine what they will encounter in this peaceful sea.

Especially the Japanese fleet, they were once the leader in sea ship technology and did not take the shipbuilding technology of any other country seriously. Not to mention the Thousand Sail Fleet of the size of the Song Dynasty, they had never seen even ships of more than 3,000 tons.

Of course, they also heard that there might be one in the Song Dynasty, but if you can’t see it, just brag. After all, in Japan, they also said that in order to make Lord Yuan happy, there will be a huge ship of ten thousand tons not far away in Japan.

"Sir, if our country has a 10,000 tons of ship, wouldn't we have to look at the face of Song State?" A scholar on the Japanese pirates who had studied mathematics in the Song Dynasty and looked at the sea with emotion: "I really don't want to shrink like this. I want to fight with Song State openly! Let them surrender at our feet."
