With just a gentle press of the inflation device, the small boat quickly inflates and returns to its original shape in the blink of an eye.
Everyone eagerly put it into the sea, and then cheered and jumped on to experience it.
The small boat sailed steadily through the waves, never easily capsizing no matter how turbulent the sea was, drawing cheers and laughter that echoed across the sea for a long time.
The Ministry of Works officials stood quietly to the side, their faces showing gratified smiles and their eyes filled with pride.
Their gazes drifted slowly across the warship, as if recalling the days and nights of fierce fighting.
To build this warship, they spent countless sleepless nights repeatedly discussing design plans, carefully selecting materials, and strictly controlling every step of the process.
Today, we see the public's novel reaction and heartfelt admiration for the warships and life-saving equipment.
A sense of accomplishment welled up in their hearts, and all the hard work and effort turned into a feeling of pride at this moment.
At the seaside of Haiyan County, golden sunlight poured down on the shimmering sea without reservation.
Every ripple of light dances with a mesmerizing glow, reflecting off the boundless blue sea in a breathtakingly beautiful scene, like a natural oil painting.
The giant ship's hull gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, and its tall sails billowed straight up.
It rustled in the sea breeze, seemingly silently announcing the magnificent journey it was about to embark on.
The area was already packed with people, a dense crowd whose faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Their burning gazes were fixed on the giant ship, as if what they saw before them was not a ship, but Noah's Ark carrying countless hopes and dreams.
Among the crowd were experienced fishermen, whose weathered faces now showed childlike excitement.
There were young apprentices just starting out, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
There were also local residents who came to cheer them on, eagerly looking around with anticipation for peace and tranquility in their hometown.
With a loud and long horn call, the temporary captain strode confidently onto the bridge.
He stood tall and straight, his bronze skin gleaming in the sunlight, his hands strong and broad, skillfully gripping the helm, his eyes revealing focus, confidence, and a sense of mission.
Amidst the fervent and expectant gazes of the crowd, the giant ship slowly began to move, its hull emitting a deep and powerful roar.
It was like a war drum from ancient times, shaking the soul and even causing the ground beneath one's feet to tremble slightly.
At first, it glided gently across the sea like an elegant and reserved dancer, creating delicate ripples.
The ripples, like blooming white flowers, slowly spread out behind the boat, attracting the seagulls around to cry out and circle joyfully.
At first, the people on the deck could only whisper excitedly, their conversation filled with curiosity and admiration for the giant ship.
As the ship moved, their emotions were completely ignited, and excited cheers resounded across the sea, rising and falling as if to pierce the sky.
"It really moves! It can move forward without human intervention, that's amazing!" A young fisherman in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
His voice was filled with shock and surprise, his eyes wide open, as if trying to imprint this incredible scene in his mind.
The people around nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with the same amazement and joy. Some waved their flags excitedly, while others jumped up in excitement.
As the giant ship gradually accelerated, the sea breeze howled against them, like a pair of powerful hands, whipping their hair and clothes. The astonishment in their eyes intensified; they gripped the ship's railing tightly, their knuckles turning white from the effort, experiencing this unprecedented speed and exhilaration. Despite the ship's rapid movement, it remained remarkably stable; those standing on the deck felt almost no turbulence, as if strolling leisurely on flat ground. Waves lapped against the hull, splashing up droplets that cascaded down, bringing a refreshing coolness and adding to the exhilaration. This wondrous experience deepened their understanding of the ship's capabilities and filled them with confidence for future naval victories.
The giant ship drew graceful arcs on the sea, and after sailing steadily for a few more laps, it slowly made its way to the temporary dock.
The dock was already crowded with people eagerly waiting, their eyes filled with both joy at the successful trial voyage of the warship and tension and anticipation for the upcoming mission.
