Chapter 1466: Steam Shock on the Long Road to the Island

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's move!" The morning sun rose, and the little girl greeted excitedly after everyone had eaten fish porridge.

Three hundred and ninety people boarded the yacht with their "furniture", and the yacht's waterline changed significantly.

The indigenous people did not dare to move casually, and tried to squeeze on the upper and lower decks.

This island is not inhabited anymore, so they moved to another place, and the indigenous people's boats were towed.

Li Yi told them that although this island is big, it is not very suitable, and there are good places.

Usually, they farm here, and there are houses for rest, and then they can go back. There are many plains over there, and the port can be sheltered from the wind.

For small boats, it doesn't matter whether the wind is strong or small, they can be towed to the shore and carried.

When the Tang Dynasty fleet comes here in the future, they must find a good place.

Oahu, the third largest island in the Hawaiian Islands.

There is Pearl Harbor and Honolulu Port, which goes northeast from Pearl Harbor along the coast. Both ports are useful to Li Yi.

As long as the ship is big, I like these two ports.

In the summer, Pearl Harbor is windy. If you are afraid of the wind, you can go to Honolulu Port.

The Tang Dynasty fleet needs a place for the final sprint. After the supplies are ready and the status is adjusted, it will rush to Mexico in one breath.

From here, go southeast, not directly east, because there are trade winds blowing from the northeast, just in this latitude range.

The ship with a sail needs to cut an angle to face the wind, so it slants to the southeast. When it comes back, it fills the sails from the Strait of Magellan and is blown all the way home.

A little further down is called the Drake Passage. It depends on whether it needs to go another distance. If it goes, it will go against the wind for a sea route.

At noon, the yacht rushed into Honolulu Port. The indigenous people on the boat were always excited. The speed was too fast.

In their opinion, it was incredible. The boat was not rowed by anyone and there was no sail. How could it reach the place so quickly?

Without waiting for them to recover, Li Yi urged them to go down and hurry up.

I will build a bunch of houses for you. I will leave tomorrow. I will go to Mexico, find seeds, and rush home to sow seeds.

The indigenous people reluctantly got off the boat, carrying tools and looking confused. They changed places and went to work.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry took chainsaws to find dry wood. Li Yi chose Honolulu Port because the local area was relatively dry.

Then there were many dead dry trees, which could be used directly.

If we change to Pearl Harbor, wood may grow fungus on the wood.

When the sun sets and rises again, the indigenous people who have moved to a new home waved to the yacht with a melancholy face in the smoke.

Li Yi left. He had a lot of things to do. In addition to collecting seeds, he had to deal with people on the other side and make the base good.

…

On the last day of the imperial examination, some candidates had already handed in their papers in advance.

Everyone had the same expression. Some were complacent, some were dejected, and some had blank eyes.

Those who did not hand in their papers were almost the same. Even if they did not answer well, some people did not want to hand them in. What if they suddenly had inspiration?

There was no grand court meeting today. Li Longji listened to the reports of the prime ministers and ran to Fanglin Garden to sit on a high place and drink tea.

On the fifth day of February, the sky was gloomy in the morning and the wind gradually became stronger.

The people put on their hats and raincoats and went out. Farmers needed to apply fertilizer to the wheat that had turned green.

Those who were going to plant rice transported the fertilizer to the field and piled it up. After a few days, they would plow it in with the fertilizer.

The people who carried the work at the dock went to work, and there were already ships on the Yellow River.

The hunters went into the mountains to check the huts. They didn't hunt now.

Those who really had nothing to do went to the riverside and the foot of the mountain to dig up the wild vegetables that had just emerged.

Many flowers bloomed, and the bees that had survived the winter flew out.

Li Longji looked through the telescope, with no joy or sadness on his face.

"Third brother, three steam engines will set sail tomorrow and meet up with other sailing boats and oars at the seaside."

Li Chengqi looked around and saw Li Longji here.

"That one hasn't been repaired yet?" Li Longji frowned slightly. Lijiazhuangzi built four steamships, and they will sail with other ships.

"Xiaoyi is not here, and I don't know what went wrong. The craftsmen said it might be related to the seal. It's too late to make a new seal kit now."

Li Chengqi didn't know much about the technology of the ship, and he believed what others said.

"Three steamships will use less coal, so we can reduce some coal." Li Longji began to calculate.

Originally, four steamships were prepared to cooperate with forty ordinary ships, and the ordinary ships were responsible for loading coal.

At the same time, ships that could be thrown away were reserved. Once the situation was not good, the personnel would be concentrated on other ships, and one ship would be discarded.

Ships are equal to money. If they are gone, they can be earned, but people cannot be resurrected after they die.

"The people in the village mean to take it with us, and when we get to other islands, unload the coal and put it on the islands for future supplies.

By the way, cut more wood on the islands and throw them to dry, so that firewood can be burned.

The sailors on the steam engine ship are repeatedly practicing the use of flags and instruments, including handling emergencies."

Li Chengqi did not support his brother. The people in the village made sense.

It is used as a supply point. Now it is across the ocean, and it will be useful to go to other places in the future.

"Yes!" Li Longji nodded: "Make arrangements, and send them off tomorrow. I don't know how many difficulties they will face along the way."

Li Longji was worried about the others, worried that they would encounter danger and they would not be able to transform anything.

...

The next day, UＵReading ｗww.uｕkanshu.net countless people ran to the shore to watch. Three steam-powered ships were sailing towards the canal without sails, billowing black smoke, and whistling.

Envoys from various foreign states were all there, staring with wide eyes.

It didn't matter if there were no big rivers, but the envoys who had rivers were constantly changing their minds.

It seemed that they couldn't beat this thing, it was too big, and if they used ships to hit them, it would obviously break their own ships as soon as they touched them.

The faces of Tubo and others were the ugliest, they were in a complicated mood, and they would not fight for the time being, and peace would come.

However, this peace was obtained at the cost of their own side's loss, and the territory was occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River both lead to their place, which used to be upstream, and it was inconvenient for ships to fight.

This is called a steam-powered ship, it doesn't matter how the water flows, there are other ships.

The Tubo people looked at the ship, then at their own people, and then at the Japanese.

Wakoku is next to the sea, and there are envoys from Bohai and Khitan. They have the sea.

Logically speaking, they should be more anxious. What if the Tang Dynasty wants to completely control Khitan and Bohai?

Tengyuan Mayang and others are indeed jealous. They only saw one ship last year, and there are three ships this year. This ship seems to be easier to build.

Their own country has dozens of ships...

They are tempted. With dozens of ships, they feel that they can attack wherever they want, except the Tang Dynasty.

"It's okay if I can get it." Abe no Nakamaro didn't expect to get the current steam engine ship. He wanted to settle for the next best thing.

"I heard that it can be rented." Shimomichi Maki got useful information through a series of means.

"The ship is big, it is convenient to load cargo, and Japan can increase exchanges with the Tang Dynasty."

Tengyuan Maki looked at Shimomichi Maki, considering whether to rent a big ship to make money first, and then rent more ships when there is more money, and then...
