Yicheng wharf, crowded.
It has never been so busy here since the port was built by the river.
Not even on land, let alone in water?
On land, you can compete with wild animals after practicing martial arts. Once you fall into the water, you will lose all your combat power.
Even if the water is good, the combat effectiveness in water is very different from that on land.
What''s more, there is no martial arts of fighting in water.
So subconsciously, people will stay away from deep water.
Water is a necessary resource for survival, but the beasts in water are not.
Compared with the north, the South with dense water network will be more difficult.
With the power of martial arts, streams and rivers may be able to build bridges to avoid contact with wild animals in the water. However, big rivers are not good. If you want to get through the connection between the two sides, the monster in the water has to be considered.
There are many rivers in the Central Plains, but there are mainly two major rivers, the Yellow River in the north and the Huai River in the south.
Because the Yellow River is dry all year round, even after the Reiki recovers, the water still doesn''t come up. Just six months ago, the provincial capital organized personnel to cross the river by boat and set up a simple floating bridge to facilitate the warriors to go north and get in touch with the cities north of the river.
In order to prevent problems, several floating bridges have been built to connect the two sides of the Strait to ensure that contacts will not be interrupted by accidents.
The Huaihe River is different. It has plenty of water. After the recovery of aura, it widens a lot and becomes more vast. No one knows how deep it is and whether there will be a water demon in it.
Zhou Yuenan wanted to get through the road of Chuzhou at the beginning. So far, she was blocked and had to give up.
With the support of the provincial capital, Yicheng built a port, built a wharf and began to build ships.
The output of steel is far from enough to support the construction of warships, and the smelting technology can not meet the standard of all iron. It can only be built from wooden boats.
Fortunately, the strength of the mutated giant wood is no worse than that of the steel.
The initial ten meter boat gradually expanded to the later ten foot medium-sized ship. Six months ago, the first experimental armored ship was launched and tested, up to 100 meters.
The experimental armored ship did not have time to cross the river to the other bank. During the test, the beast in the water knocked a big hole in the bottom of the ship. Fortunately, it was not far from the shore and ran aground in shallow water.
After analyzing the reasons, experts believe that the mechanical noise installed on the armored ship is too loud, which led to the attack of monsters in the water.
Therefore, shipbuilding immediately changed its thinking. Mechanical braking is no longer desirable, but sail braking is adopted.
Of course, the machinery is not installed, but it will not be used under normal circumstances. When it is used, it is the time to escape.
……
On the deck, listening to the discussion everywhere, I learned a lot of interesting stories about shipbuilding.
The provincial capital supports Yicheng to carry out warship research in order to open up the channel between Yicheng and Chuzhou.
Chuzhou is the provincial capital of Hanchang, the thoroughfare of nine provinces and the main traffic road. Moreover, there is also Wudang, a Wulin leader who is separated from Shaolin in the north and south.
Wudang may not have as many people as Shaolin, but its strength should not be underestimated.
If Wudang has the same problems as Shaolin, who can make it difficult to drive crazy?
"Sir, there should be no problem with this exploration?" Zhou Yuenan came to the trick and asked in a low voice.
"Who knows, this is their choice, so they must bear the corresponding consequences." Said the trick.
"I hope it goes well, otherwise the ship will be buried at the bottom of the river, and the strength of Yicheng will drop sharply." Zhou Yuenan said.
Because of the use of sail power, the warship is one size smaller than the previous experimental ship, less than 100 meters long and more than 10 meters wide. In addition, there are thousands of crew.
After all, just to reach the other side, there is no need to travel long distances. If there are less goods, there will be more people.
It''s only about ten miles at most. As long as there''s no accident, you can return soon.
Among the thousands of people, except the crew, most of them are martial artists in the master''s territory, and only a few are first-class. In addition to the elite in the army, there are also martial arts experts and pioneer free fighters, all invited by the military to participate in the voyage.
During the first trial voyage, the military had no bottom in mind, so they invited a group of top experts to sit down in case of accidents.
No one knows if there will be an accident, so many people refuse.
Li Suwen agreed to the invitation. In order to be safe, the three people tried hard and soft to pull the trick to strengthen their courage.
The trick was also boring, so I promised to see the scenery.
That''s it.
……
There was no whistle, no gongs and drums. After a simple speech, irrelevant people got off the ship. The "Yicheng" pulled out its anchor and set sail, left the wharf and sailed into the huaishui river.
The helmsman took the helm, the crew manipulated the sails, and the oarsmen rowed hard to make the tens of meters warship sail slowly to the other side.
From this side, the river is vast, not only how wide.
In his eyes, the river was fifteen or six miles wide and hundreds of meters deep. Everything on the other side was clear in his eyes.
More than ten miles from the other bank is a wilderness, overgrown with weeds. The same is true within more than ten miles up and down the river.
It can be seen that the power of Wudang has not spread here.
After all, Wudang is hundreds of kilometers away from Yicheng. Without enough fighters, how can it expand its territory on a large scale like the Central Plains?
The Xuanyuan skill created by the trick integrates many Taoist classics. It is the most peaceful and peaceful. It is easy to get started. It is also dissatisfied with cultivation. There is no hidden danger of being possessed by evil. It is easy to spread. Therefore, there are a large number of top martial artists in the Central Plains.
But correspondingly, among the internal mental skills of many masters, it is not a top skill, and only the method of skill cultivation, not martial arts, with average power.
It can be used to break the environment, but it is insufficient in combat.
However, the advantages of this skill are also obvious. Except that it is simple and rapid to cultivate, and does not affect the martial arts practitioners to cultivate other skills, if they practice special martial arts, they can use it as a foundation.
Shaolin''s internal skills can''t compare with Wudang''s.
In particular, Taoism emphasizes quiet and inaction. Unlike Shaolin, there are few disciples. Although they began to recruit disciples after their aura recovered, they are not as many as Shaolin. It''s good to be able to maintain the safety around Wudang. It''s difficult to get out. It''s even better to hope in Hanchang city.
One mile, two miles
The warship moved slowly, bringing huge waves and fluctuating the heartstrings of the passengers on board, so that they didn''t even dare to go out of the atmosphere and shrink their breath for fear of being attacked by water monsters.
Every time something touches the bottom of the boat, they can hear it clearly for fear of causing an accident.
There has never been anything that can make so many masters at the same time face great enemies.
All the way through the middle of the river, and then saw the outline of the other bank.
More and more clear, to finally see, everyone showed disappointment.
