Chapter 542 (1/2)

Bai Chun, Li Chongyi and other officials, people and so on, looked at the three huge ships with incredible and gaping eyes, and slowly revealed their true faces.

It is like an endless mountain range and a long dragon. On top of the three ships, the four masted huge sails are like waterfalls hanging in the air. Under the command of the three ships, they slowly fall down. They are majestic and majestic. People can feel the tremendous awe they have brought to all the people in yard head and even to the whole Hangzhou.

Li Hong was also a bit stunned. He only occasionally communicated with Li Chunfeng and told him some ship knowledge he knew when he was one of his crew members. He explained what kind of structure and structure can make a huge ship sail far away and increase the flexibility and maneuverability of the ship. He said it superficially, but he didn't expect that in this short period of time, Li Chunfeng had no idea Chunfeng came with three huge ships!

Originally, he thought that it would be a miracle to be able to come over one, but now he is full of shock and wonder to witness these three ships which are similar to the ”Galen ship” in the previous generation.

Galen, the largest Galen ship in the world, has a displacement of 2000 tons, a draft of eight meters, and a stern deck of seven stories.

What's more, before the end of the sailing era, Galen had always been the standard for the design of warships and battleships. Its influence, combat effectiveness and practicability were not comparable to those of other sailboats.

Different from the traditional design of ships in the Tang Dynasty, a small inclined mast was erected at the bow of the three huge ships, which was originally used as a watchtower. However, the so-called lookout was moved to the stern of the ship, forming a place for the commander-in-chief to command the ship and live.

On the lower deck of the bow is space for soldiers, cargo and so on. In addition to the two masts in front of the boat and the two jibs at the back, there are some things that we usually have.

All the living goods and supplies during the war, together with nearly a thousand soldiers, were placed on the lower deck.

In this way, not only the deck surface is clean and tidy, but also more space for action can be created for the soldiers on the deck during the naval battle, so that they can effectively fight against the first floor of the deck, whether in the face of the enemy's sneak attack or active attack.

Even the Tang soldiers standing on both sides of the ship's deck now have their armor transformed. Unlike the soldiers on the land, their whole body is covered with armor. Instead, it has become a local armor which is more used on the ship to make soldiers more flexible when sailing and fighting in the rough sea.

”Your Highness, this ship is the one that you personally advocated to build?” Li Chongyi trembled his fingers and pointed to the huge ship which was about to dock at the dock. He looked like he was facing a hill. His voice was also shaking.

”Yes, but I didn't expect that Li Chunfeng could build three ships in such a short time. It seems that I underestimated Li Chunfeng's determination and desire to sail.” Li Hong also shook his head at the three huge ships in front of him.

It can be seen that these three ships, obviously, have been fully loaded. They are the real and genuine naval killers that can be put into sea battle at any time. They are definitely not a simple big ship just for the sake of appearance and middle sight.

Bai Chun was a little confused. Seeing the huge ship berthing at the wharf, the people on one side, even some officials, approached them with such a huge object. They could not help but step back 20 or 30 steps.

Only Li Hong, Li Chongyi and Bai Chun were still standing in the same place, looking at the huge ship being moored, and talking about it one after another.

”Your Highness, don't you say that there are five ships? Why do you think the construction is much faster? What's more, before this, it's not the same... ” Bai Chun did not dare to go on. She was afraid that the prince would be angry and throw herself into the Qiantang River.

After all, if the ship that was sunk into the sea was such a magnificent ship, Bai Chun didn't know if Li Hong would be distressed. Anyway, she was very distressed. How much money would it cost.

It is no wonder that the officials in the court, including his majesty and the queen, were very critical of Li Hong's huge investment in building such a huge object.

Although his majesty and the queen finally stopped Li Hong from throwing money into Quanzhou shipyard by confiscating the prince's silver, he threw more than 10 million taels of silver into the sea, which made Li Zhi feel a little pain in his liver every time he thought about it.

What's more, if such huge ships can be sunk by the strong wind and heavy rain on the sea, will these huge ships in front of us sink into the so-called deep sea as well? Is it not that the ten million taels of silver will eventually sink into the sea?
