Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 593 It's moving, it's moving!

Although Lu Yan agreed to demonstrate the new weapon, the demonstration of the weapon had to wait until the navy was able to operate the new warship proficiently.

For this reason, Lu Yan specially recommended Gan Ning and Su Fei to Liu Xie and Cao Cao. With their rich experience in water warfare and the navy under their command, it is not difficult to control this new ship.

Gan Ning and Su Fei were not high enough to squeeze into the emperor's side, so they could only admire this freshly baked warship from the stern.

But they didn't feel lost in the slightest, and observed the new warship carefully and gently as if they were lovers.

"I've never seen such a warship, it's so gorgeous and sturdy." Gan Ning stroked the side of the ship, his eyes revealed fascination, and whispered.

Su Fei next to him was not much better, he was wiping a little stain on the deck vigorously with his sleeve.

After hearing Gan Ning's murmur beside him, Su Fei raised his head and showed a bright smile, "Yes, brother Xingba, I feel like I've fallen in love with it! I will sleep on the boat from now on!"

While the two were discussing the merits of the ship, a messenger suddenly came to them and said, "General Gan, Su Zhonglang, Lu Hussars summoned you."

The two of them didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly got up and adjusted their appearance, then followed the orderly and ran to the bow of the ship.

Lu Yan saw Gan Ning and Su Fei coming, so he greeted: "Xingba, Su Fei, come and see your majesty and the prime minister."

Gan Ning and Su Fei came to Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and bowed respectfully, "Last general Gan Ning (Su Fei), see Your Majesty and Prime Minister!"

"Aiqing is free." Liu Xiexu helped Gan Ning and Su Fei and asked, "I heard from Lu Changsheng that you two are very good at water warfare?"

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the last general and Su Zhonglang used to be members of the Jiangxia Navy. When it comes to water warfare, we are somewhat confident."

"That's great!" Liu Xie laughed and said, "How much time will it take for you to master this warship?"

After Gan Ning and Su Fei glanced at each other again, they said in unison: "At most half a day, we will definitely be able to pilot this warship proficiently!"

"Okay! I'll give you two hours. After two hours, I want to see how this ship attacks the enemy!"

After Liu Xie's order was issued, Gan Ning and Su Fei subconsciously looked at Cao Cao, after all Cao Cao was their real boss.

Old Cao saw Gan Ning and Su Fei looking at him, so he said: "Do as Your Majesty tells you, I believe you will not let everyone down."

"The last general takes orders!" Gan Ning and Su Fei clasped their fists in response.

Liu Xie didn't care about Gan Ning and Su Fei's reaction, he dragged Lu Yan to the captain's cabin, ready to have a look at the layout and facilities inside, and even wanted to enjoy being a captain again.

The navy was about to get familiar with warships, so Lu Yan "drove" the idlers away, even Liu Xie and Lao Cao were no exception.

The time given by Liu Xie was two hours, but Gan Ning and Su Fei, with the cooperation of more than two hundred carefully selected sailors, basically mastered the characteristics of this warship in only one hour.

The sailors and soldiers could already manipulate the sails of the three-masted warship freely. The wind on the Yellow River was not too strong, but the three-masted warship ran at an astonishing speed in the limited wind.

With such an extraordinary performance, Gan Ning, Su Fei and others immediately thought of the unique shape of the hull, and suddenly understood that the warship "designed" by Lu Yan was not only for good looks, but also for the comprehensive consideration of the ship's travel and balance and other conditions.In fact, it is mainly the drawings given by the system.
Su Fei stood on the bow of the ship, feeling the speed and passion, and said to Gan Ning beside him: "Such a warship is simply unbelievable!"

Gan Ning grinned and said, "What, this ship may sail in the sea?"

"At first I thought you were just bragging to make us come to the Central Plains, but now, I do believe that it can sail in the sea."

"Hey." Gan Ning looked at the craftsmen and commoners on the shore who kept waving in the direction of the warship, and said, "Now that we are familiar with it, we should be able to start the offensive and defensive drill."

Su Fei straightened up and replied, "I've been waiting for your words for half an hour!"

Gan Ning commanded the warship to approach the dock.

Lu Yan brought 120 eight craftsmen who were skilled in operating cannons sent by Ma Jun to the ship.

Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and everyone on the battlefield saw that Lu Yan's battle seemed to be a bit big, and they couldn't help but feel more and more excited.

The warship sailed slowly to the middle of the Yellow River, and five hundred steps upstream of it, there was an ordinary sailboat several feet long parked there.

It is not impossible to use larger ships for military exercises, but they will all be sunk in the end, so there is no need to be too extravagant and wasteful.

The craftsman was commanded by Ma Jun's deputy, a powerful middle-aged man who often followed Ma Jun.

According to Ma Jun, he is a very talented forging talent, and he has put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions for the forging of the cannon body.

"What's your name, where are you from?" Lu Yan asked the middle-aged blacksmith.

"Back to Lu Huqi, the younger one's surname is Pu Mingyuan, from Yizhou." The blacksmith replied with a simple and honest smile.

Lu Yan felt a little familiar when he heard the name. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally recalled the name Pu Yuan, "Could it be Pu Yuan, the magical knife that made swords for Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei? If it is true, I will find a treasure .”

Although there were some ups and downs in his heart, Lu Yan had already developed a calm city mansion.

Lu Yan, whose expression remained unchanged, suddenly asked again: "What's your opinion on iron quenching?"

Pu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "You actually asked about my strengths directly! Is it a coincidence?"

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Pu Yuan replied without hesitation: "Back to Lu Huqi, I do have some personal understanding of Quenhu."

What kind of effects of various water quenching on steel, etc., Pu Yuan said clearly and logically.

Although Lu Yan didn't quite understand, he was sure that this old man was Pu Yuan, the magic knife.

The most famous deed in Pu Yuan's life, and also the most legendary deed, is the [-]-mouth "Pu Yuan Magic Knife" he forged for Zhuge Liang.This incident comes from Jiang Wei's "Pu Yuan Biography" and "Pu Yuan Biography", and in the process of casting the "Pu Yuan Magic Knife", the story of Pu Yuan's knowledge of water forging knives was also left.

Unexpectedly, his general as a supervisor was so attractive that he even attracted Pu Yuan from Yizhou to the Central Plains.

While Lu Yan was talking to Pu Yuan, the craftsmen on board had already removed all the black cloth, revealing dark and ferocious cannons.

The craftsmen carried out solid large iron balls from the cabin, and then neatly stacked them next to the cannon.

Finally, after more than half an hour of preparations, the cannon, gunpowder, shells, etc. have all been prepared.

Under Lu Yan's order, the battleship finally started to move again.

I kept staring at the battleship Liu Xie in the Yellow River, and immediately discovered the movement of the battleship.
"It's moving! Look, Lao Cao, it's moving!"
