Chapter 301 The advent of the treasure ship, the shocked Yingzheng

In the thirty-eighth year of the First Emperor, September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival.

Songhai City, Daqin Royal Shipyard.

People from all counties across the country came to Songhai early because they wanted to participate in the launch of the Great Qin Treasure Ship and the first maritime review of the Great Qin Navy.

With the boost of sea trade to Daqin's economy and the continuous publicity, the people of Daqin are aware of the huge benefits of sea trade, and the enthusiasm for opening up the sea is also increasing.

There are even many people who plan to come to Songhai City to watch the naval parade first, and then take sea ships to Liaodong to participate in the Liaodong development.

The common people all have expressions of infinite longing on their faces.

Although the sea breeze was a bit chilly, the people who came to participate in the ship review had already put on their autumn clothes, so the cold was nothing to them.

Hundreds of thousands of people were standing at the edge of the pier. Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the moment when the ship was opened and the super battleship revealed its true face.

People are talking about how many legendary giants there are on the sea, whether they are really like small cities, whether such a huge warship can float on the sea, how to travel on the sea, how fast it can go, etc.

This has been a topic for a long time.

Now the answers to these questions can finally be revealed.

Among the waiting audience, there were not only the happy people of Qin, but also the uneasy envoys from various countries.

Especially the Roman envoys who had been in Da Qin for a long time but still could not see Ying Yu, they were even more frightened at this time.

As a country whose capital is by the sea, Rome knew the importance of sea power.

The true rise of Rome only began after it seized control of the Mediterranean Sea from Carthage.

But now, the Qin Dynasty, which made Rome extremely fearful, has made such an amazing breakthrough in the navy, which makes the Romans sleepless at night.

At this time, Ying Zheng and a group of important officials of the Qin Dynasty had followed Ying Yu to the shipyard.

As soon as they entered the dock, Ying Zheng and a group of important officials couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The original five-hundred-ton Wuyalou ship had already astonished Ying Zheng and others, and they repeatedly lamented the great breakthrough in Great Qin's shipbuilding technology.

But the impact and shock brought by the super giant in front of us now is countless times greater than that of the Wuyalou Ship.

It is seventy feet long (Da Qin is one foot and 2.3 meters), thirty feet wide, and together with the mast, it is twenty feet high. Just its majestic and mountain-like momentum can make people shudder.

Such a giant will definitely frighten the enemy, enough to look at them on the sea!

Even though they had been prepared in advance, after seeing the treasure ship, the civil and military officials in the court were still stunned and speechless for a long time.

After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and marveled again and again.

"How was such a behemoth built?"

"Such an astonishing giant ship, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a city on the sea, right? Is this really built by our Great Qin? Am I not dreaming?"

"This huge ship is okay in this dock. If it is launched into the water, will it sink directly because it is too heavy?"

"How could it sink? His Royal Highness will never let this happen!"

All the civil and military ministers, just like Grandma Wen Liu entering the Grand View Garden, were all dumbfounded and exclaimed again and again.

Ying Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand.

The craftsmen who had been prepared for a long time immediately shouted slogans in unison, pulled the pulley block hard, and opened the sluice of the dock.

With the influx of sea water, the dock that was originally lower than the sea level was gradually filled, and the huge super battleship gradually floated.

This scene once again made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.

The officials all had good eyesight, and they could naturally see that this huge super battleship was very buoyant and was rising little by little with the sea water, making it very stable.

Such a huge ship, although there is no unnecessary exaggeration, gives people a majestic and domineering feeling like a mountain.

"This Great Qin treasure ship combines the most advanced technology of our Great Qin. It is not only big enough, but also powerful enough.

It is equipped with the most advanced trebuchets and three-bow crossbows, which are enough to directly sink the enemy from hundreds of feet away.

And the opponent's crossbow arrows are simply unable to penetrate the steel armor of our Great Qin treasure ship."

Ying Yu, who temporarily acted as the commentator, introduced Ying Zheng and others in a loud voice:

"The displacement of the Da Qin treasure ship is six times that of the Wuyalou ship, and more than 500 trebuchets and three-bow crossbows can be installed on it at the same time!"

"Six times that of the five-tooth giant ship!"

"Five hundred long-range attack weapons!"

The eyes of Ying Zheng and others were filled with shock.

You know, the previous five-tooth giant ship was the largest warship in the world.

At the beginning, Carthage and Macedonia even spared no expense to purchase a batch of frigate warships from Daqin that were smaller than the five-tooth warships.

The purpose is to study Da Qin's shipbuilding technology so as to improve his country's naval strength.

In their eyes, the Five-Tooth Battleship is something that is elusive but elusive, so they can only settle for the next best thing.

But now the treasure ships built by Great Qin are six times the size of the Five Tooth Battleships!

I believe that when they see the Qin treasure ship that looks like a city, they will definitely despair.

The huge number of five hundred long-range projectile weapons made Wang Jian and other generals secretly swallow their saliva.

They are all very aware of the power of the trebuchet and the three-bow crossbow.

It is a terrifying existence that can destroy any opponent hundreds of feet away, and the greater the number, the stronger the effect.

And just one Great Qin treasure ship contained more than five hundred trebuchets and three-bow crossbows. If the firepower was fully unleashed, no opponent would be able to avoid this overwhelming attack.

Not only the sea, but also ports and coastlines can be bombed from sea to land.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the powerful three-bow crossbow. It only takes a few rounds of volleys to bombard even a city to pieces.

If catapults are added, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the enemy.

Even if someone is lucky enough to survive such a violent bombing, he will definitely be frightened to the point of leaving his body and lose all morale.

Wang Jian and others couldn't help but think of the Marine Corps and the landing plan that Ying Yu had mentioned.

With such a mobile fortress on the sea, who can stop it from sending elite marines to land for combat after a bombardment?

This treasure ship is completely bug-like!

With this giant in the sea, the entire world's oceans will belong to Da Qin.

Da Qin will be the first super empire in history to dominate the oceans and land, and realize the grand vision of all the world under Da Qin.

Everyone in the group suddenly became excited, even Ying Zheng was no exception.

A smile appeared on Ying Yu's face.

This is the maritime giant and super battleship he really wants.

Just one ship is enough to easily defeat an enemy fleet and escape unscathed.

And several battleships working together are enough to destroy the entire enemy navy!

The Great Qin Treasure Ship is an invincible warship on the sea!
