In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Today is the day when the new warship is launched. All the major officers of the 18th branch and above, including major, came to the shipbuilding island, a large enclosed dock where the new warship is located.

Although it is not yet to the level of later warships, compared with today's standard warships, the new warships also appear to be much slender.

Of course, it is still a wooden warship!

At the bow and stern of the ship, there is a two-unit rifled cannon with a caliber of 280MM. On both sides, there are four two-unit 127MM secondary guns. There are even 127MM secondary guns installed throughout the warship.

No less than 20 heavy machine guns provided by the gun laboratory.

No matter how you look at it, this is a warship that is armed to the teeth and can definitely be called a maritime killing machine in this era.

"Tsk tsk... If it weren't for the fact that 90% of the entire ship is made of Adam's wood, these weapons would probably fall apart after three salvos at most!"

"Who says it's not the case? Compared with the warships of the Navy in the past, there is no problem if one beats ten warships, right?"

"Who are you looking down on? As long as you are not surrounded and have enough ammunition, it will be no problem to hit a hundred!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect that this kind of monster would be born in our hands!"

"Speaking of which, at first you suspected that the major general was deceived and bought a bunch of fake Adam's wood!"

"Don't you?"

"..."

Looking at the boatmen who were busy preparing to launch the warship, Barry and Bipley also sighed.

At the end of the sentence, the two of them looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

On that day seven days ago, when they arrived at the branch's large warehouse No. 3, they were simply frightened, okay?

That's a warehouse of Adam's wood, genuine!

If this is put up for auction, it will be worth at least 10 billion Baileys. If it is put into operation, 20 billion Baileys is not a dream...

On the other side, a group of branch officers brought by Li Yan were shocked to see the warship.

"Boy Li Yan, is this the warship you have been secretly building these days?"

"That's right. How do you feel, Mr. Sol?"

"Well, as long as I have a dozen of these warships, I will dare to go to the New World to make the Four Emperors unhappy!"

"Don't say goodbye, old man. Although this warship has no problem bullying others in the first half of the Grand Line, but you want to go and cause trouble for the Four Emperors... then forget it!"

Hearing Sol's words, Li Yan was speechless for a while.

This firepower is indeed very powerful, but it is of no use to the Four Emperors. Whitebeard can just blast it in the air. No matter it is a cannonball or a bullet, it will not be able to fly through it.

As for the other three, which one is simple?

Therefore, to deal with mid- and low-level combat forces, relying on the current firearms, cannons and this new warship can definitely have a crushing effect, but for high-level and even top-level combat forces, these things are still not enough!

"I just said it casually, you don't really think that the old man is unhappy that I want to go to the Four Emperors, do you?"

There was no answer, Li Yan just nodded silently, making Sol's mouth twitch...

Are you such a brainless person?

Soon, as the mechanism started, and with the help of two rows of huge rollers, the warship rushed into the water, splashing several meters of waves...

------

The next day.

New warships have been docked at the military port, and a large number of sailors are constantly transporting supplies and ammunition to the warships.

When all this is completed, Li Yan will personally lead more than 100 sailors, several Carrera shipwrights, and several people from the Science Department to carry out the maiden voyage.

As for the goal of this maiden voyage, Li Yan directly set it on Horqin Island on the Grand Route.

This is an island that does not appear in the original work. At the same time, like Magic Valley Town, it is also a pirate island. It is located on the edge of the windless zone near the East China Sea in the first half of the Grand Route.

On the way, you can also test how the warship performs in the calm zone after installing sea tower stones on the bottom of the ship.

Originally, Thor wanted to go with him. After all, this was a historic maiden voyage for the navy, but the situation did not allow it.

Since the branch chief assessment was over, each branch chief returned with 30 sailors from the 18th branch, and then sent half of the sailors to the 18th branch one after another.

Therefore, Sol's next task is very important. He has to train almost 1,500 sailors for three months at once, and there is no way he can escape.

"Rear Admiral, the test ship has completed its supply operation!"

"Well, order everyone to board the ship!"

"Yes, Major General!"

However, just as Li Yan and others boarded the ship one after another...

"Rear Admiral, there is a warship approaching in the distance. It looks like a super warship!"

"Super warship? Could it be that woman again?"

"That woman?"

Ain seemed a little sensitive to this word.

However, Li Yan did not reply to Ain's words, but was thinking about another thing in his heart...

When he was recuperating in the G8 branch, he seemed to have promised that he would notify her as soon as possible of any new weapons developed and give her priority in purchasing them?

Trouble!

Half an hour later, Taotu's super warship finally arrived at the branch military port.

It has to be said that ships in this era are too slow. There are very few ships that can reach a speed of more than ten knots. Super warships like Peach Rabbit can only reach a speed of 7 or 8 knots.

As soon as they landed on the shore, someone could not wait to step on the moon and walked directly to the warship where Li Yan was.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Li Yan's collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Didn't you say that you would tell me as soon as there was something new? What's going on with this warship without sails?"

"this..."

"Here, try to explain it to me!"

"No, it's too close!"

"What's too close?"

"The cheeks are too close!"

At this time, Taotu noticed that the distance between his and Li Yan's faces was only a few centimeters. If he looked at it from another angle, he would have thought that the two were kissing passionately...

Dang even blushed and quickly let go of someone's collar.

After finally escaping from Tao Tu's clutches, Li Yan suddenly felt a cold murderous aura behind him.

Well, you don't have to look back to know that it must be Ain.

Obviously I have no relationship with anyone, but why does it look like a Shura field?

Li Yan said that he was very innocent, okay?

"Okay, tell me, what's going on with this warship?"

After taking a moment to wait until the blush on his face subsided, Taotu asked.

"Didn't we go to the Capital of Seven Waters last time to find Bingshan and ask him to build a branch here?"

"Then I asked them to help me design a new warship, which will be used to replace the current standard warships of the East China Sea Navy in the future!"

"Of course this is just an experimental ship. It was just launched yesterday and today is its maiden voyage!"

"The result..."

"I was just about to set sail when you, Gion, caught me!"

Li Yan said with an innocent face.

However...

The next second, Taotu spoke.
Chapter completed!
