Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 421 Going out to Hainan, for Yingzhou!

Qiyu and the people from the Mechanical Young Mansion were dumbfounded.

This huge ship, which had nearly doubled the weight of Da Qin's hull before it overturned, was just able to move, and they reluctantly accepted it.

But what's the situation now?

It ran so fast!

They... obviously didn't install other power structures on this ship?

How can such a huge hull be driven so quickly by a single propeller that is so large underwater?

how is this possible?

Qiyu and the others fell into deep doubts.

On the other hand, Su Yu looked at the big ship that was gradually disappearing in the distance, with a smile on his face.

It worked!

Originally, he was somewhat apprehensive about this test.

After all, compared to other aspects, his knowledge reserves in ships are simply pitiful.

At most, I have a little understanding of the hull shape of various ships and the general reasons.

The propeller thing is really just a flash of inspiration for him.

As for the specific size, the number of paddles, the angle... These are all based on the poor knowledge of ships he only has.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't know how much kinetic energy the propeller can really provide to the ship, let alone calculate it.

Mainly rely on Mongolia.

This is also the reason why he did not stop it after knowing that Qiyu and others had designed a backup plan.

And today, this boat, the first time it was launched, the effect was so good, and it really gave him a surprise.

Old Zhao on the side sighed softly: "With this Shenzhou, we are one step closer to the goal of conquering the vast sea."

"Isn't it a step further? 35 heard Lao Zhao's sigh, Su Yu couldn't help but pick up the conversation.

"At the speed of this big ship, with sufficient coal and no accidents, any land in this world can be reached within two months"

"Really!?" Lao Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.

Su Yu smiled slightly: "Who am I over you? I'm still conservatively speaking."

"You have also seen the world map. In fact, Europe is the most difficult to reach by boat, and America, which was originally far away from us, can come and go without hindrance. 99

Lao Zhao hummed softly.

Exactly what Su Yu said.

With Daqin's current position, if you want to go into the sea by boat, go to Europe by sea or land to attack, you have to pass through at least two narrow straits, and you don't know how many detours.

Su Yu took a long sigh and said softly, "Old Zhao, I know what you're thinking."

"Although it is fast to travel by boat, it is unrealistic to rely on ships to transport troops to attack Europe.

Old Zhao Wenyan turned to look at Su Yu, with some doubts in his eyes.

Su Yu explained: "In fact, to put it bluntly, Daqin's ships with only more than 5,000 stone are still too small. If you want to transport troops on a large scale, you need a lot of ships.

"And this kind of ship, the current cost of construction is also a bit high, and it cannot be built on a large scale.

Today's "Shenzhou" looks very remarkable in Daqin.

However, in Su Yu's eyes, it's such a big thing... It's true that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The mere 5,400 stone is just over 100 tons.

You must know that when Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Ocean, the main ship was a huge ship weighing 2,500 tons!

Just its length of more than 130 meters can catch up with half of the modern aircraft carrier.

Let's take a look at the "Big Mac" of Daqin, which is only a hundred or ten tons and whose captain is only a fraction of other people's.

Apparently it's not enough.

Seeing that Lao Zhao was still unwilling, Su Yu continued to persuade him: "Thinking about the current situation in Daqin, even if Europe is taken down, we still don't have the time to guard it.

"The most important thing is that between our two places, there are still large empires like Peacock and Seleucid, which is really beyond our reach."

Lao Zhao wiped his face helplessly, looked at the sky and said with some pain: "With such a Shenzhou, but it is not used to expand the territory, I am really not reconciled. 39

"Pfft..." Su Yu couldn't help laughing.

"I said, Lao Zhao, what kind of hatred do you have with Europe? You still have so many treasures. Why do you want to start with Europe when you talk about expanding your territory?"

"Treasure land? There!?"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised.

Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, and a general picture of the world map appeared in his mind.

"."From Hanzhong by boat, through the Hanshui and Dajiang, you can leave Kuaiji east and enter the sea in one day.

"After entering the sea, turn to the south and sail to Yingzhou in about seven hours."5

Old Zhao nodded again and again.

He knew that this Yingzhou Island was a big island across the sea from Minzhong County today.

Before, there were even rumors that it was actually juxtaposed with immortal mountains such as Penglai and Abbot.

But it was not discovered until the Daqin Navy boarded up.

The above is unremarkable, and there are many more primitive indigenous tribes.

Because it is not far from Minzhong County, he has always regarded it as an affiliated island of Minzhong County.

"This Yingzhou Island seems to be unremarkable, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure island." A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.

Old Zhao was startled, and quickly asked, "Why do you see it?

Su Yu replied: "The island is fertile, with high temperature, high humidity, and (Zhao Wang Zhao) abundant rainfall, which is very suitable for crops to grow, and the surrounding fish resources are also rich.

"The most important thing is that its geographical location is extremely unique. If it can be developed into the base camp of the Daqin Navy, it will provide great convenience for the development of the Navy in the future.

Su Yu has long held grudges against this seemingly inconspicuous island.

Now that he has come to Daqin.

Then no matter what you say, this treasure land will no longer become smoky.

ps: You all know where Yingzhou is, right across the sea from Minzhong, readers who don't know can Baidu

I would like to say here that during the Warring States Period, it was called Daoyi, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called Yizhoulu.

At the time of Daqin, under the influence of Xu Fu and a group of alchemists, this place was deified into Yingzhou.

The real Yingzhou in history is actually Chongming Island.
