As soon as Liu Dingshan opened his mouth, Zhang Shengde was stunned.

Zhang Hao was even more stunned: I went and thought of all the possible results, but I didn't expect it to be such a possibility.

After a while, Zhang Hao finally said: "Thank you, senior, for your appreciation. It's just that His Royal Highness the Regent is so high up, Zhang Hao is just a little baron and doesn't dare to ask for anything.

In addition, the junior and Zhou Xueyao are in love, so I ask the senior to make it happen."

Liu Dingshan looked at Zhang Hao for a while, his eyes flickering. But he finally sighed: "Okay, I was just joking. I agreed to this!"

"Thank you, senior." Zhang Shengde finally breathed a sigh of relief. We really can't bear your constant jokes.

Liu Dingshan smiled faintly: "I would also like to thank you on behalf of the Qixia Kingdom. Now the entire Qixia Kingdom, the Zhang family, and the Dayang Group led by the Zhang family are the most concerned about the country.

Okay, I'm going to visit the giant ship, and I'll talk to Zhou Shuhai when I get back."

After Liu Dingshan said that, he let Hou Shangzhuo lead the way. But deep down in his heart, Liu Dingshan sighed a little, and he had a lot to think about. If the Zhang family and Xinglintang were to get married, plus the Dayang Group controlled by the Zhang family, this would have a huge impact on the Qixia Kingdom.

This is never a good thing for the government.

However, considering the current situation of the Qixia Kingdom, considering the Zhang family's past performance, and considering Zhang Hao's identity as a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, Liu Dingshan finally had to compromise.

Of course, there is another consideration. If Liu Xinyu really gets engaged to Zhang Hao, will Zhang Hao be the last to catch up?

Instead of doing this, it is better to sell the Zhang family now. Moreover, the current Qixia Kingdom is really inseparable from the Zhang family.

Liu Dingshan quickly calmed down and began to examine this giant ship from the perspective of a participant. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Just now he just took a quick glance, but now he has made many new discoveries.

This giant ship is so huge, but every detail is handled almost perfectly. The hard steel is tightly connected, and the interfaces have been carefully hammered. There is no hemp rope, beeswax, etc. like traditional ships to seal; here it relies entirely on steel.

The combination itself completes the sealing. In some places that are not easy to seal, a layer of softer black iron will be added.

In particular, the mechanical power and propeller systems of ships were an eye-opener for Liu Dingshan.

After marveling for a while, there was a shout that the first sea trial was about to take place; everyone gathered on the deck.

The seal in front of the dry dock gradually disappeared, and the seawater flowed into the dock at a fast but steady speed. The dry dock began to fill with water, and the clear seawater gradually submerged the bottom of the giant ship, but the giant ship did not move at all.

"Isn't it impossible to float?" A faint voice of doubt appeared.

But Zhang Hao, Hou Shangzhuo, Wang Dake and others stood at the bow of the ship, waiting quietly. When the seawater poured into one-third of the height, the heavy steel giant suddenly shook, and then as the seawater poured in, little by little

Float.

Suddenly there was an exclamation: "It's floating, it's really floating! The giant ship made of steel is floating!"

Hou Shangzhuo and others did not have time to pay attention to these sounds. They were quickly checking the interior of the ship to see if there was any water leakage. Although it had been tested with magic during construction, it was theoretically foolproof, but what if?

There are tens of thousands of rivets on the huge ship, and the length of the seams exceeds fifty kilometers. Who can guarantee that there are no omissions? In addition, the balance of the ship must be checked.

The items that need to be tested in the first sea trial are listed in half a book, including structure, drainage performance, turbine and blades, rudder, energy consumption, acceleration and deceleration, balance, steering, etc.

The sea water quickly flowed into the dock, and the heavy steel giant ship stopped smoothly on the water, with almost no shaking felt.

Hou Shangzhuo quickly led his people to complete the inspection and came to the bow of the ship again and shouted: "Set the ship!"

The power staff immediately turned on the switch, and the power of the spirit stone was injected into the turbine. The formation began to take effect, and the heavy rotor started slowly and continued to accelerate.

The sound of rushing water appeared from behind the boat, and ripples echoed in the small dock.

The giant steel ship began to move with difficulty.

The roar of propellers and machines gradually became louder, but soon began to become smaller, or smoother, and finally turned into a low roar. The giant steel ship rushed out of the dock little by little and sailed into the sea.

The moment the bow of the ship dipped into the sea, the vast sea and sky, the bright sunshine and the sparkling boundless sea rolled in front of everyone.

Everyone stood at the bow of the ship and quietly looked at the scene in front of them. This was not the first time that everyone had seen the sea, but standing on a giant steel ship and observing it was an unprecedented experience.

"It's so magnificent!" Feng Zhiling calmed down at this moment, looking at the vast sea and accepting the baptism of nature.

Liu Jingming nodded silently, and then said softly: "It's really magnificent. Why didn't we feel this way when we looked at the sea before?"

Zhang Hao smiled, opened his hands, and said loudly: "Because when we saw the sea before, what we thought of was danger and awe.

And now we are thinking of... conquest!

In the past, the green sea of ​​death was an insurmountable chasm. But from today on, the green sea of ​​death will become our gateway!

It will no longer be insurmountable!”

"Well said!" Liu Dingshan praised, looking at Zhang Hao with more and more admiration; but the depth of his eyes also became more and more complicated.

The waves came one after another, without any rough waves, but the vast sea made people feel the tranquility of the waves. A giant steel ship sailed out slowly, splitting the waves, and moved forward firmly.

The low roar had stabilized, and everyone could faintly feel the acceleration. The huge and heavy steel ship, driven by the propeller, began its journey to conquer the sea.

The giant ship kept accelerating and accelerating, moving straight forward. The heavy steel giant ship quickly rushed out of the one kilometer and rushed out of the coverage of the Dutian Fiery Formation. But today, no one stopped. At this time, the giant ship

Still hasn't reached maximum speed.

A large number of ocean monsters could be seen all around. However, a few huge sea snakes were knocked away by the giant ship as soon as they appeared and fell into the sea. These sea snakes resurfaced and stopped attacking. They watched the giant ship gradually move away.

Go, quickly disappear into the sea water.

At present, it seems that these sea monsters don't pay much attention to human activities on the sea. As long as they don't hunt the sea monsters, the sea seems to be very calm.

The speed of the giant ship gradually increased. A craftsman specifically responsible for measuring the speed kept reporting the speed, and now the speed has reached 62 kilometers per hour.

After seeing the giant ship, many ocean monsters burst out of curiosity. For example, a huge sea turtle, almost ten feet tall, suddenly appeared and blocked the front of the giant ship. The turtle actually spat at the giant ship, and then its limbs

Just shrink into the shell and block the front of the giant ship.

"Crash it over! Crash it over!" Feng Zhiling was already excited again. He was shouting, already too excited to control himself. Not only Feng Zhiling, but also many people were shouting with excitement. Even Liu Dingshan's eyes were shining.

.

Liu Dingshan also participated in the construction of treasure ships in the past. The treasure ships were also thirty feet long, similar to the length of the current giant steel ships. But after all, the treasure ships were made of wood and were light and fluttering on the sea. But the giant steel ships were

Showing completely different characteristics:

Heavy, stable and domineering!

Amidst countless cheers, the giant steel ship crashed straight into the challenging turtle ahead. Everyone heard a loud bang first, and then a roar.

The seawater around the giant ship boiled with shock, countless waves rushed into the sky, and the surrounding seawater spread out in circles.

The turtle directly in front was overturned. Although the giant ship had not yet been outfitted, the steel giant was still as high as 1,200 tons. The 1,200 tons of steel collided with it at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, and the impact force exceeded 7 in an instant.

Thousands of tons (Note 1).

The turtle was still rolling in the sky, green blood spilled, and the powerful turtle shell had been torn open by the sharp blade of the bow. The turtle stretched out its head and let out a sharp scream, but was soon surrounded by a group of small red fish, and almost

He disappeared into the sea as soon as he took a breath.

"What a dangerous green sea of ​​death! That turtle just now probably has the defense capabilities of the Nascent Soul stage!" Zhou Shuhai looked at the small fish with a look of horror on his face.

Liu Dingshan said calmly: "That was just a turtle in the early stage of Yuanying. Its defensive ability is poor, but it can reach the middle stage of Yuanying, which is close to its peak."

"Wow..." Everyone said in surprise.

After the impact, the speed of the giant ship did not change much, and the direction changed slightly, but it still accelerated forward and accelerated again. But the nerves of everyone on the ship were already tense. This is the Green Sea of ​​Death after all, and the turtle just now raised everyone's vigilance.

After another moment, Hou Shangzhuo finally shouted: "Speed ​​is 76 kilometers, stable. Next test, full left rudder, sharp turn."

The rapid turn broke the stability of the giant ship, and the giant ship suddenly tilted to the right. Some people were not prepared, but they let out a cry of surprise.

But Zhang Hao and others, as well as those who had experienced the ironclad ship model last time, remained calm and composed. A wall of water was lifted up on the right side of the giant ship, and broken waves rolled out; the entire sea surface was stirred.

The turning radius exceeds several hundred meters, and all you can see is rolling waves. A long white waterway is left behind the giant ship.

The left full rudder was followed by the right full rudder. The giant ship kept switching between the two states, twisting and moving forward in a wavy route. During this extreme test, the craftsmen looked around for possible problems.

During the entire process, the turbine was always running at full load.

After working for more than two hours, Zhang Hao received the first satisfactory score sheet: perfect.

Hou Shangzhuo immediately ordered: "Turn around and return, and the turbine will run at 120% overload for 30 minutes."

The power became busy, ordinary spiritual stones were replaced with medium-grade spiritual stones, and some switches marked red were also turned on. The giant ship suddenly trembled, and everyone faintly heard the more majestic roar of the turbine and propeller. The giant ship was actually

Speed ​​up again.

The giant ship kept the direction pointed by the pen and rushed along the coastline towards the dock.
