Considering that there are a lot of people around me, I can't have fun even if I want to.
After a brief thought, Zhou Yu led everyone directly to the warship.
At first, the little boy was very reluctant because his interest was disturbed by Li Er.
However, after arriving on the warship, she turned into a curious baby again.
The little girl touched here and looked there, her eyes full of curiosity.
As everyone boarded the ship, a craftsman responsible for the design and manufacture of warships also trotted over to greet them.
With the company of professionals, Li Er's visit became more in-depth.
For example, why the hull and mast need to be improved, and why the new drainage system needs to be optimized.
For example, what adjustments have been made to the warship's power, and what the warship's combat capability is.
After hearing such a detailed introduction, Li Er was naturally very pleased.
As he walked along, Old Deng praised the craftsmen's extraordinary skills, completely forgetting that the original warship design drawings were actually found by him from some old documents.
After listening to the craftsman's introduction, Li Er finally couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu and said, "Boy, in your opinion, can this warship be used for cross-sea operations?"
Hearing Li Er's pretentious question, Zhou Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This old Deng, he lost his way after the people below blew a few times?
Whether you can fight across the sea or not, you have to try it to know.
I haven’t even tried it yet, so who knows what the situation is.
Although he complained in his heart, he still had to give Old Deng some face in front of a group of officials.
So, he feigned contemplation, examining it for a moment, and this time spoke seriously, "Judging from the size of the warship, it's suitable for ocean voyages. As for the specifics, we'll have to try it out to find out."
"Okay, then let's watch them test the boat."
After hearing the reminder, Li Er came back to his senses.
After taking a look at the distant coastline, he waved his hand and walked towards the highest point of the cabin.
As everyone stood on the top deck, various flag signals and instructions were transmitted to the ears of each crew member in an orderly manner.
Immediately afterwards, the huge mast was erected amid the sound of orderly calls.
As the mast was erected, the sails slowly rose.
Immediately afterwards, the warship that was originally floating on the sea began to move slowly.
As a warship for conquering Japan, the first and most important thing is speed and maneuverability.
After a series of turning and acceleration and deceleration tests, Zhou Yu had a rough idea of the warship's performance.
Due to power reasons, the warship's speed is much slower than that of his yacht.
However, as a warship built during the Tang Dynasty, its performance can be described as surpassing that of the contemporary ones.
Although the power of warships still mainly depends on sails and manpower, their speed is at least several times faster than that of ordinary ships with modern technology.
However, this result is not without disadvantages.
After all, the main power of the warship comes from manual labor, so its stability and sustainability are much worse.
But this is not a big problem. After all, for the current Japanese country, such warships can definitely crush them easily.
After all, this thing can be regarded as the culmination of ancient shipbuilding technology.
After testing the basic performance of the warship, the next step is to test its combat capability.
As a warship, speed is only a basic requirement; its real core is combat capability.
Just as the instructions were being passed down and the combat capability test was about to begin, several dark shadows suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.
At first, Zhou Yu thought it was a seafood fishing boat, but when he saw the ship's flag through the telescope, he turned to Li Er and said, "Target those ships in the distance. Let's test the performance of warships through actual combat~"
