Sending people to the Tiangong Workshop was just Zhu Youxiao's preparatory action. After the first batch of Yulin troops were sent away, he was also ready to set off and rush back to Beijing. Wanli had been ill for almost a month, and it would be unreasonable for him not to go back.

When he came back, the carriage loaded with supplies was empty. Of course, Zhu Youxiao would not waste it like this. He filled the empty carriage with people and pulled it back to the palace like cargo.

Just when the Yulin Army was reorganized and was about to set off for Beijing under the leadership of Zhu Youxiao, news suddenly came from the shipyard, saying that the clipper ship had been successfully manufactured, and the owner was invited to come and watch it.

"Has it been made so quickly?" Zhu Youxiao asked in astonishment.

"Young man, I don't know. It's just that the boss of the shipyard sent someone here to deliver a message, asking the owner to come and have a look." Liu Bin, who came to report the message, replied nervously. The battle in front of him almost made his legs weak. What does the noble man do?

, why are so many soldiers and horses gathered here?

Wang Wenyan was going back with Zhu Youxiao. Liu Bin and Ding Mian had already brought him out. He was no longer needed. Naturally, he wanted to go back with his grandson and continue his path to fame and wealth.

"In that case." Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, "Li Tu, pass my order, the army will recuperate in place and set off again in an hour." We will definitely not be able to reach the capital today. An hour earlier and an hour later will make no difference.

"Here!" Li Tu clasped his fists and accepted the order, and then went to deliver the order. Under this order, the entire army of 1,500 people suddenly shrunk neatly, and their legs were all the same, so they continued like this, in the early morning

Under the bright sunshine, he looked like an immovable iron man.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao waved his whip and led everyone towards the shipyard.

After arriving at the shipyard, Zhu Youxiao left most of the cavalry company outside and only took Wang Wenyan, Li Tu and ten knights in with him. Of course, he was still fully armed and did not take off his armor.

A group of master craftsmen from the shipyard headed by Mr. Gao came to greet them. The crowd was bustling with no less than twenty people at a glance. They were the essence of the entire shipyard. They were all skilled craftsmen who were proficient in shipbuilding craftsmanship. Most of the people inside were able to work independently.

Preside over the construction of a large ship.

"My boss?" Mr. Gao asked hesitantly after he came to the front. At the same time, when his eyes fell on Zhu Youxiao's seemingly ordinary stainless steel armor, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he saw something extremely incredible.

matter.

"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?" Zhu Youxiao took off the visor on his helmet and asked with a smile.

"Haha, my boss is so dressed up that I can't even recognize him." Gao Lao laughed to cover up his gaffe.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao was only thinking about the flying scissors at the moment and did not notice Gao Lao's unnaturalness. "Old Gao, where are the flying scissors?" he asked somewhat urgently.

"Master, please come with me." Old Master Gao led a few people out of the shipyard and came to the port. At this time, on the blue and somewhat black sea water, there was a ship with very graceful and slender lines.

It is similar in size to the 400-material Galen ship next to it, but it is almost one-third longer and narrower in width.

At this time, all the masts on the clipper ship had been erected, but the masts were bare, and the huge soft sails had not yet been raised. Judging from the paint on the hull, the ship had just been built, and the paint was only a fresh coat of paint.

Dry. At this time, the ship was full of people, and Talon was roaring loudly, urging his crew to check the ship and prepare to set sail.

"Let's go up and have a look." After Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes and looked at it, he suddenly raised his legs and walked over there.

"Your Highness, you must not..." Before Wang Wenyan could finish speaking, Zhu Youxiao glanced at him with a cold and stern look, and immediately stuffed back the rest of his words. Wang Wenyan felt a chill in his heart, and his lips squeaked, words of dissuasion.

I can't say it anymore.

"Your Highness?!" Mr. Gao finally chewed these two words, and his eyes lit up. This accident confirmed the guess in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao forced Wang Wenyan away with a look. Seeing that no one was trying to dissuade him, he raised his legs and walked towards the clipper boat. His footsteps were still very regular, and he stepped firmly step by step. Every step he made was very exciting.

A feeling of calmness and determination.

The full armor on Zhu Youxiao's body is very heavy. Although he is very strong and does not care about this weight, this weight does exist objectively. It can be seen from the very curved ship deck. He is also walking on

Li Tu behind him only allowed the boat to bend a little.

"I've met you, sir." Seeing his employer coming up, Tarun came up to greet him diligently. His salute was still a kneeling salute. Looking at his skillfully bent legs and feet, he must have practiced a lot in private.

"Yes." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly and looked around at the layout of the ship. The entire ship was no different from the Western ships he had seen in movies before, with a large number of cables, large and small masts,

Narrow deck, busy crew.

"Sir, if you want to experience the speed of this ship, please be sure to take off your armor. Wearing such heavy armor, if you fall into the water, no one can save you." Talon said with a strange accent.

In Chinese, conscientious advice.

As a professional, Zhu Youxiao would still take it. Under the service of Li Tu and others, he took off this full-body armor. What Talun said is indeed reasonable. Wearing such armor, if it accidentally falls,

It will quickly sink to the bottom of the water, and it will be too late for others to rescue you.

After Zhu Youxiao took off his armor and pointed at the silk lining underneath, Wang Wenyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had wanted to dissuade him just now, but was frightened by His Highness's look, and could not speak even when he got on the boat.

After working for about a quarter of an hour, under Talen's command, the slender clipper ship set sail and started, and then the sea wind, like an arrow from the sky, rushed out quickly. It was almost twice as fast as the Galen ship.

The speed made Talon, the captain, scream.

"Baby, this is such a treasure, daddy loves you, my baby." Talon shouted loudly in French, with tears in his eyes. No one could understand the feelings of the Western crew towards the ship at this time. This was everything to them.

The strong wind blew Zhu Youxiao's long hair violently, and the strong wind hit his face, making him almost unable to open his eyes. However, even with such a strong wind, it could not shake his figure at all, and his feet

It was as if it had taken root on the deck, unable to move.

However, the constantly rocking hull made his stomach churn, as if something wanted to spurt out, and the taste of the millet porridge he had eaten in the morning filled his mouth again.

"Ugh!" The sound of vomiting sounded one after another. Zhu Youxiao looked back, but it was the man he brought up who was holding the mast and pouring things out.

Especially Li Tu, the fierce wind could not shake him, but he could not bear the bumps of the flying shear boat up and down. In just a minute or two, he vomited loudly.

On the other hand, the young sailors who were constantly controlling the sails were very agile at the moment. They were constantly flying back and forth between the deck and the mast, testing the performance of the ship.

This test lasted for half an hour. All kinds of strange instructions and actions were performed under Talun's command. Zhu Youxiao found the maneuvers of these ships very strange. They stopped and moved away for a while.

, so that he was completely dizzy and couldn't tell the direction at all.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when Zhu Youxiao was almost tired of looking at the sea, that the test was completed, and then the clipper ship returned under Tarun's order.

As soon as the ship entered the port and before it stopped, Mr. Gao couldn't wait to put up a board and hurried over.

"Talon, how are you? How are the test results?" Mr. Gao spoke urgently, and it seemed that he attached great importance to this maiden voyage.

"There is generally no problem with the ship. The ship's speed is higher than expected, reaching fifteen knots. However, there are still some areas that need to be improved. During the test, the right side of the ship was tilted, and the stern was a little warped..." Pulling Gao Lao.

, Tarun kept talking about the test results in his weird Chinese accent.

The ship docked, and Li Tu's gang rushed off one after another. They didn't know what was going on with these people. They looked impotent when they were on the ship, but now they had the energy to rush off the ship. After getting off the ship, they looked happy.

It still feels better on land.

"These landlubbers." Zhu Youxiao shook his head and called on the innocent crew members to help him take off the armor. In his previous life, he was a boy from the south. Although it was his first time to cross the sea, he was a little uncomfortable, but it was not like that.

The boat was vomiting until its arms and legs were weak, but now it was still able to step down on its own with steady steps.

After Li Tu and the others recovered, they quickly picked up the armor on the ground and put it on for Zhu Youxiao. "I have failed to fulfill my duty as a guard in my humble duty. Please punish me, Your Highness." While wearing it, he apologized.

"It's okay. You are all land generals. It's normal for you not to practice. Don't blame yourself." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating that they don't mind.

After he finished putting on his armor, Mr. Gao also got off the clipper and looked at the large stack of paper with strange characters written on it in his hand.

"Mr. Gao, how is the performance of the clipper ship?" Zhu Youxiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked. This was related to his future navy, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Which one doesn't..." Gao Lao opened his mouth to curse when someone interrupted his thinking. After seeing clearly that it was his boss who was asking the question, he hurriedly swallowed the second half.

"Uh!" Gao Lao burped after swallowing the words he was about to say. After waiting for his breath, he hurriedly replied, "My boss, you gave us very detailed technical information on the clipper ship. It didn't take long for us to understand it thoroughly.

, It’s just that such a ship has never been built before, and the technology is still a bit immature, so this ship still has some flaws. I will discuss improvements with those old immortals when I get back."

"It's no problem." After getting the answer he wanted, Zhu Youxiao felt much relieved. Then, he asked the doubts in his heart, "I heard that shipbuilding is not a matter of years. Why this time?"
