Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 523 Launching
Longjiang Shipyard, Lianshan No.The Lianshan has been under construction since Shangluo returned to Jinei, and it has not yet been launched.

And standing nearby, you can see that the construction period for launching this ship will probably be quite long.

He was not actually in the dry dock.In order to reduce the stress on the slipway, the Lianshan had already been in the water and had been soaked in the water.

Longjiang Shipyard and Longjiang Base are both located in the Yangtze River.The fresh water of the Yangtze River will not corrode the hull like sea water, and it is much easier to maintain.

Even though I don’t know how long it has been since it was launched, the hull of the Lianshan is still new - of course, this is related to the frequent cleaning.Even now, there are still people wiping it and performing routine maintenance.Shangluo felt that just by wiping it every day, it might have made the entire ship smaller.

The ship looks fine now.The delay in getting into the water may be due to some invisible reasons.If you can't see it, it's not that easy to answer it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Under the gangway next to the battleship, a guard in royal robes stood there.There's a "one" attached to his helmet with Velcro.

"Introducing, Li Yi, the head of the Thirteen Taibao. Guarding the most important place in the entire Jinei."

"The most important place?" Shangluo raised his head, "Is this the ship?"

"It's this ship." Zhu Xianfen nodded, "To be precise, it is the most important to the imperial court. Because in 5000 years, there have been many important places. But for this dynasty, at present, it is here. The most important thing. This Lianshan."

"why?"

"Boss Li, come and tell him."

"Because when necessary, this Immortal-Zhuan Ship can kill Immortals."

"Zhu Xian? What kind of immortal?" Shangluo asked in surprise.

This time it was Zhu Xianfen who answered: "The one we want to kill is the Evil Sword Immortal."

"Evil Sword Immortal? What is that?"

"You'll know when you come up. Daozu is waiting for you up there."

He motioned to Li Yi to lead the way, and the two of them boarded the gangway behind.

The deck is paved with teak wood and is maintained like a warship in service.There was no unusual sound when I walked up.And the door to the ship island was opened in advance by someone inside - there are no sailors here, only guards in uniform.Because before it was handed over to the army, it belonged to the royal family and was handled by the royal family.

"Sometimes, my money is always like a bottomless pit, spent in many strange places." Zhu Xianfen muttered while walking in the corridor.

“But it’s okay if you don’t spend it, right?”

"Yes, so I earn my own pocket money. I don't have to go to the internal treasury to apply for it. This can save some trouble. I don't want to beg for food from others all day long." As he said that, Zhu Xianfen suddenly turned around and said, "Actually, I don't know if you have noticed something. Have you noticed that others always call me 'His Majesty the Emperor'. Doesn't this sound a little weird?"

"Yeah, that's right." Shangluo nodded, "I haven't asked, but because I haven't called him that many times, I haven't responded for a long time. But the full title of the honorific should be His Majesty the Holy Emperor? If you shorten it, it's His Majesty the Emperor. The word "Emperor" seems to be used alone. But why should we call him "His Majesty the Emperor?"

"In the final analysis, it's because the emperor called me Tianzi - to expand on, my elders all call me Tianzi. My mother calls me Tianzi, and my grandma also calls me Tianzi. When I go to greet me in the morning, I say, 'Emperor,' "Buy a ticket for me", "Emperor, do something for me", "Emperor, why don't you go to Tangshan to soak in the hot springs". Emperor is used here instead of my name, because calling me by my name is not appropriate. It’s right, so from the elder’s point of view, calling me Emperor means calling me by my name.”

"That's what His Majesty means."

"I just call you 'Classmate Shangluo', which is pretty much the same. Because calling your position at work is the most formal, 'His Majesty the Holy Emperor' is the honorific title for my position, just like someone calls you 'Chi Shijun'. But no. In a formal occasion, it would be weird to always call you job title, just like Qi Yuan of your team wouldn't call you 'Chi Shijun' all day long."

"Ah, so calling him Your Majesty the Emperor means compromise, right?"

"Yes, it's an eclectic title. It's more common this way. My mother calls me Emperor. At work, I call me 'His Majesty the Emperor'. In daily life, I make a compromise and call me 'His Majesty the Emperor'. This is usually called Jinyiwei, and some elders call me this way. Because they are the ones who communicate with me verbally all day long - of course, Zhu Ling is the only one who speaks unabashedly, and she is the only one who calls me brother." "I remember it's 'brother, brother, brother'."

"When she calls me that, I get a headache. But all in all, you can see that although I am the emperor at work, in fact, everyone is our own person, right? There is no need to be so serious. But, why?"

He looked at Shangluo.

"Because... we are one of our own?"

"Well, that's it. We are our own people, so there is no need to be too restrictive. In our family, we are all father and mother, and we call each other brothers and sisters. When it comes to the big picture, we are all our own people. What about 'His Majesty the Holy Emperor', listen up I'm also disgusting. If Zhu Ling calls me, 'Brother, Your Majesty the Emperor!!!', then she might be trying to make some big trouble for me to clean up - but, we do this because the etiquette itself is used to distinguish There is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors because we are safe at home."

"..." Shangluo pondered for a moment, "So at work, you must be respectful of your position. It means that you must be disciplined when working so that you can get things done, and you must be more nervous. When you are not working, can everyone be more lively?"

"Look, look." He said to Li Yi in front, "This is a smart person. It is convenient to talk to smart people."

"So." Shangluo then asked, "So the biggest threat that can put us all into work mode and make our home no longer safe is the Evil Sword Immortal?"

Silently, Zhu Xianen nodded.I also looked up and looked ahead. There was an elevator in front of me.

"There is an elevator on this ship? Is this a hotel?"

"The restaurant also has an ice cream machine. Let's try it before leaving." After entering the elevator, Zhu Xianfen pressed the button to go to the third floor.

The third floor is where the armored headquarters is located, and is protected by armor plates on all sides.After the headquarters, a room about the same size as the headquarters is located in the center of the island.

Zhu Xianfen took out the key, and Li Yi took out another one.The two keys unlocked at the same time, and the door opened.

The door opened from the side and there was a smell of sandalwood inside.Sitting north and facing south is a shrine.The tablet in front of the shrine is densely written with a long list of divine names, ending with "Emperor of Longevity".On the wall behind the shrine hangs the back figure of an old man in white robes.The old man turned his back to everyone and sat on the golden platform in the monastery.

After Zhu Xianfen saluted the shrine, Zhu Xianfen turned around and said, "Is this the first time you have seen the emperor's shrine?"

"Yeah. I've never seen it outside Yuxi Palace. So, here it is."

"Before the emperor comes, I want you to take a look at the painting opposite."

"Opposite?" Shangluo looked back and saw that there was indeed a painting hanging on the wall opposite the shrine.But it's not an elegant painting, more like a promotional poster in an illustrated magazine.There is a round hole in the middle of the dark screen, and in the middle of the round hole is a crosshair, as if the muzzle of a gun is aimed at something.And in the middle of the crosshair, there was a figure.

The figure had white hair and red eyes, wearing a black uniform, with a stream of light under his feet.Take a closer look at the face——

"This is me???" Shangluo was stunned, "The Evil Sword Immortal is actually me?"

"It's another possible you." Zhu Xianxen also looked at the painting, "Do you know your own strength? Think about it, if you use your own strength to deal with the imperial court, wouldn't it be the imperial court? The biggest disaster? But you didn’t really do it—if you did, then you would be the Evil Sword Immortal to us. If you didn’t do it, you would be Lord Shishi who commands Xuanmen with the Sword Immortal Way.” He pointed to his feet:
"This Immortal Killing Ship was built at the same time you were born, before we figured out who you were. She is the same age as you. If God forbid, and you stand opposite us, we will have to use it to Blast you. Of course, this will never happen in the future." As he said that, Zhu Xianxun took off a small golden sword from his waist and handed it to Shangluo:

"Now, she is yours. This is the key to Lianshan. Do you plan to give Lianshan another name? Or just call it this? It's up to you. Daozu's Xuantan can also be withdrawn and put aside. This is quite a hindrance. Li Yi will not leave, but is still doing errands on this ship. If there is anything on this ship, ask him to arrange it, or if you want to change someone else to be the head of the Thirteen Taibo. In addition, if you want, you can This room has been transformed into the activity room of the Lei Department. Anyway, you can make your own decision, just take the sword. You can go into the water when you are ready."

"Wait, launch? Isn't the boat already in the water?"

"It's not the water, launching into the water is a metaphor." He pointed to the sky, "The Lianshan can fly. Do you want to test it?"
