"This is it."
Lin Ke pointed to a fenced area on the river bank and spoke excitedly.
“I deliberately chose a geographical location that provides easy access to water while avoiding the main waterway.”
Nan Tong didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was just an ordinary water conservancy facility.
However, when he followed the Holy Pharaoh into that area, the scene before him made him freeze in place.
In the center of an open area stand several buildings of strange shapes, mainly made of wood and covered with roofs woven from palm leaves.
Surrounding the building is a series of tunnels and ditches of various shapes, some filled with water and some exposed.
There are a lot of wood, ropes and metal parts laid out on the field.
only......
"ah?!"
Nan Tong blurted out, with shock in her voice.
The magicians and ministers around were also stunned. Their expressions were as if they had seen a god descend to earth.
"ah?!"
"ah?!"
“What…what is this?!”
Nan Tong's reaction was even more intense. He subconsciously hovered in the air and shouted orders.
"Protect His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
The surrounding royal guards immediately went on alert and formed a protective circle to surround Lin Ke.
"An enemy has built something strange on our banks of the Nile!"
Nan Tong's eyes flashed with light like solar flares, and he glanced around vigilantly.
“But where did they go?”
“Could it be!?”
"Have you logged in yet?"
The situation was tense for a while.
The guards were on high alert, ready to fight off potential invaders at any time.
However, apart from those buildings and tools, there were no signs of any suspicious people within a radius of hundreds of meters.
Lin Ke couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw that everyone was facing a great enemy.
Although he had roughly anticipated everyone's reaction, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
He raised his hand and motioned for everyone to relax.
"Don't be nervous, everyone."
"This is not some conspiracy of the enemy, but the product of a recent important plan of my Holy Egypt."
Nan Tong still looked alert, his eyes fixed on those strange buildings.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh? What do you mean?"
Lin Ke said simply, with a hint of pride in his tone: "This is a shipyard."
"Or to be more precise, it should be called a [shipyard]."
That's right, this is a product of the civilization panel.
"Build...a shipyard?"
Nan Tong's brows furrowed even tighter.
"What does that mean? Aren't boats supposed to be rafts made of reeds or wood tied together?"
The magicians around were also confused.
For them, the concept of a boat is still limited to the simple Nile sailboat.
It was a crude means of transport with a flat bottom and a single mast, barely capable of carrying a few people across a river.
Lin Ke walked towards the [Shipyard] with a smile, where an exquisite ship was placed.
The streamlined hull, multi-layered decks, multiple masts, and intricate carvings on the bow gave it a magnificent overall shape, a far cry from the simple sailboats they were familiar with.
Moreover, the body of the ship was glowing with golden light.
That’s right, it’s the [Four-Section Sailboat].
New naval units!
Now, everyone knows what this thing is.
"miracle!"
“It looks like something out of a myth!”
"It was His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh who performed a 'miracle'!"
Lin Ke smiled and continued, "This will be our first shipyard, specializing in the production of these [four-section sailboats]."
"A truly powerful nation must possess a strong maritime force."
"Only by controlling the oceans can we ensure the smooth flow of trade, resist external threats, and expand strategic space."
"Also, everyone should be aware that the Vikings at sea will soon retaliate against us."
"That's why we're building shipyards, that's why we're building a fleet."
Nan Tong listened to Lin Ke's words and just widened his eyes: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Is this our navy?! Our Holy Egypt navy?!"
"But! It's only been two days?!"
"this......"
Nan Tong was speechless for a moment.
Of course, Lin Ke knew very well that this was just the beginning.
"Yes, this is the navy of our Holy Egypt!"
"In the near future, we will have cruisers, destroyers, and even aircraft carriers..."
Lin Ke suddenly stopped talking here, his eyes widened a little.
Because Holy Egypt has never had a navy, when seeing everyone's reactions, Lin Ke couldn't help but say some words that didn't belong to this era.
When he mentioned "aircraft carrier", he could clearly feel the people's confused expressions, so he just smiled and waved his hand.
"In short, our first priority is to build this shipyard and produce the first batch of ships."
"This is one small step for us towards the ocean, but one giant leap for Holy Egypt!"
When everyone heard this, they just nodded their heads mechanically.
"Not only that, we will start training a group of our Holy Egyptian marines from today..."
"kindness?"
Then, Lin Ke turned his head and looked around.
Apparently, Arthas, King of Atlantis, has not yet arrived.
