Chapter 1384: Treasure Ship Completed

After the New Year, the construction of soap workshops and steam engine workshops was carried out rapidly in various states and counties of Wei.

Cao Jie did not need to stay in each state for a long time.

Because of the experience of Yizhou, the construction of workshops and craftsman training in other states and counties went smoothly.

Now basically one state can complete the construction of steam engine workshops and soap workshops and craftsman training in one month.

In the R&D center, the manufacturing of the third steam train is finally coming to an end.

In Yecheng, Cao Pi also began to assist Cao Cao in handling more and more government affairs.

During this period, the shipyard of Yamatai was also constantly conducting research and construction of treasure ships according to the drawings provided by Bai Feng.

After spending nearly half a year and Bai Feng providing a lot of help to Yamatai, the shipyard finally achieved results.

Himiko, who coordinated the work of the shipyard, wrote to Bai Feng directly to report the good news after inspecting the treasure ships manufactured by the shipyard.

After receiving the news from Himiko, Bai Feng came to Yamatai through the portal without saying a word.

After arriving at Yamatai, the first thing to do was to go to the shipyard.

"Sir, this way!"

Himiko took Bai Feng directly to the treasure ship after seeing him.

On the treasure ship that had just been completed, some craftsmen were still doing the cleaning work.

Then Himiko called Master Li, the shipwright in charge of the construction of the treasure ship.

"When are you going to test the voyage?"

Bai Feng is very concerned about this issue now.

Himiko said to Bai Feng:

"Sir, the sails are not yet fully manufactured. It will take about ten days to test the voyage."

Then Master Li began to take Bai Feng and Himiko to inspect the treasure ship.

Through Master Li's explanation, Bai Feng knew that there were still many places on this treasure ship that did not meet the requirements on the drawings.

However, Bai Feng did not blame Himiko and Master Li for this.

After all, it was the first treasure ship, so it was just a practice for the shipwrights of Yamatai.

"When the sea trial is conducted, any problems found will be improved in the construction of the next treasure ship."

"This treasure ship will be used for the soldiers to practice!"

After inspecting the treasure ship, Bai Feng said to Himiko and Master Li.

Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao, who came later, smiled when they heard this.

Fishing boats for soldiers to practice on are no match for treasure ships. Even if this treasure ship does not meet the performance designed on the drawings, it is more advanced than all the ships in Yamatai now.

Bai Feng did not stay in Yamatai for long. He had to return to Hanzhong to collect more wood for shipbuilding for the shipyard in Yamatai.

Building a treasure ship is a big project, not much easier than a steam locomotive.

After returning to Hanzhong, Bai Feng also told Cao Jie and others the good news.

Cao Jie, who had just finished the construction of the Qingzhou Soap Workshop and the Steam Engine Workshop, as well as Liuli, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji and others, were also very surprised to hear the details of the treasure ship construction from Bai Feng.

Everyone has heard Bai Feng mention more than once about the significance of the treasure ship to Hanzhong in Yamatai.

"My husband, it seems that it won't be too long before we can go out to sea on the treasure ship!"

Cao Jie smiled happily at Bai Feng.

"Well, it should be possible by the end of this year."

Bai Feng looked at the surprised faces of Cao Jie, Liuli and others, and couldn't help but think of the benefits that the treasure ship would bring to the development of Hanzhong and Yamatai after it went out to sea.

In addition to various minerals, there are also various crops, which is also good for the improvement of the lives of the people of Wei.

The Age of Exploration, which once belonged to the Ansa people, was rewritten by Bai Feng again.

Next, Bai Feng will transport the collected wood to Yamatai again.

The day for the treasure ship to be launched and tested is getting closer and closer.

Cao Jie and Liuli also proposed to go to Yamatai to participate in the trial of the treasure ship together.

Bai Feng naturally agreed to all of them.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Bai Feng and Cao Jie and others came to Yamatai again with a batch of wood.

At this time, besides the shipbuilders, there were many soldiers from Yamatai around the shipyard.

When Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie were training these soldiers, they also told them that they would fight at sea in the future.

So on the day of the treasure ship's trial voyage, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie also brought the soldiers to the shipyard to see the treasure ship.

"What a big ship, it's like a gold ingot!"

After seeing the real treasure ship, Liuli couldn't help but exclaimed.

Diao Chan and Zhang Qiying and others beside her also exclaimed.

"Is this the treasure ship? It's bigger than all the ships I've seen before!"

"I guess this treasure ship can accommodate 500 soldiers!"

"Sir, when are we going to board the ship?"

Zhang Qiying asked Bai Feng impatiently.

"Hahaha, let's go, let's board the ship now!"

After Bai Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and in addition to the nobles, Himiko, Li Cunxiao, Meng Jie and others boarded the treasure ship together.

Under the envious gaze of the soldiers, the treasure ship hoisted its sails and slowly sailed into the sea.

"Jie'er, how do you feel?"

Bai Feng asked Cao Jie beside him softly.

The cool sea breeze blew Cao Jie's long hair, and she turned to Bai Feng and smiled:

"It's great!"

Today's weather is also very good, and the sky is cloudless.

Cao Jie and Diao Chan, who had been busy since the Chinese New Year, looked at the sparkling sea in front of them and felt indescribably relaxed.

Bai Feng didn't say anything more after hearing this, letting Cao Jie enjoy this rare leisure time.

Master Li led other shipwrights to inspect various locations during the voyage of the treasure ship to ensure that there would be no accidents during the voyage.

Because there are no big waves on the sea today, the treasure ship's ability to withstand severe sea weather can only be verified next time it sails.

Bai Feng, who was enjoying the blue sea and sky on the deck, suddenly felt the urge to fish.

Unfortunately, there were no fishing rods prepared on the treasure ship.

“Next time you come here, be sure to bring your fishing rod!”

At this time, Bai Feng didn't have any maritime overlord or trade center in his heart. All he had in mind was the unbearable itch of a fisherman.

Because this was the first trial voyage of the treasure ship, for safety reasons, it did not sail into the depths of the sea.

After sailing along the coast for a week, the treasure ship returned to the shipyard again.

When Bai Feng and others got off the treasure ship, they all had expressions of unfinished content on their faces.

"It would be great if a steam engine could be installed on a treasure ship, but it's a pity that the current technical level is not enough!"

After getting off the boat, Bai Feng couldn't help but think in his heart.

The faces of Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao were full of excitement.
