Chapter 303 Maritime Parade
"The feeling of riding the wind and breaking the waves is really exciting!"
Standing on the bow of the boat, Ying Zheng looked at the huge waves split by the bow, and couldn't help but feel very energetic and energetic.
Although the displacement of the Great Qin Treasure Ship is as high as [-] tons, it can be called a sea giant at this time, but the pointed bow specially designed for speed, and the twelve huge sails specially optimized for the system, coupled with today's suitable The direction of the wind caused the treasure ship to run at a speed of more than twelve knots.
This speed is definitely high for today's sea-going ships.
Although the waves are very rough, thanks to the huge hull and fin stabilizer design, the treasure ship is very stable and not bumpy at all.
Wang Jian couldn't help admiring: "His Royal Highness is really extraordinary, this battleship Daqin Zulong is not only amazing in momentum, full of power but also extremely stable.
Standing on the boat, I can hardly feel the shaking. If I didn't pay attention, I would think it was on land. "
"Indeed, when I took the Wuyalou boat last time, I still felt slightly dizzy, but now on this huge ship, it's as if I'm walking on flat ground."
Nei Shiten said with emotion: "Except for the high cost, I really can't think of the shortcomings of this warship."
"Don't worry, with the development of technology and the improvement of craftsmen's proficiency, the unit price of Daqin treasure ships will also decrease, not to mention that someone will soon pay for Daqin's sea power."
Ying Yu smiled slightly, looked at the pier, and said in the direction of the foreign envoys watching the ceremony.
The civil and military officials looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Your Majesty, all the battleships are in place. Are you going to start the military parade at sea?"
Wang Li's report made everyone who was chatting serious.
"Very well, order, the military parade at sea has officially begun!"
"Today, I will review my Daqin Navy warships together with the people of the world."
After Ying Zheng's voice fell, Wang Li immediately waved his hand.
With the semaphore playing on the flagship Zulong, the officers and soldiers of the Daqin Fleet, who had already been ready, steered the battleship energetically and sailed into the review channel.
The long-awaited people of Daqin also heard the familiar drumbeat of the "General's Order" and the introduction of the commentator, and immediately understood that the ship review ceremony was about to begin.
So they all turned their eyes to the direction of the flagship.
"This ship parade at sea is really different from the military parade in Xianyang city!"
"Nonsense, last time it was a military parade on land, this time it's at sea, can it be the same? But this new giant ship is indeed majestic and domineering!"
"The giant ship just set sail, and the waves that split are higher than those of smaller ships!"
"His Royal Highness said that it would be a pity for a man not to gallop across the sea, so I decided to sign up for the navy when I go back and patrol the seas of my Great Qin."
The common people rejoiced one by one, and their yearning for great voyages rose to another level.
The officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Navy who were inspected were full of blue mobile territory in their high-spirited eyes.
Ying Zheng was also very excited.
The prosperity of the territory on the Daqin Road, and the expansion of the territory, have already far surpassed the previous dynasties.
However, this is after all a feat created on the basis of predecessors.
And this blue territory, ocean development, is the truly unprecedented brilliant achievement.
For Ying Zheng, who claims to be one emperor through the ages, it is undoubtedly more fulfilling.
Moreover, the impact and shock brought by the giant ships on the sea cutting through the waves one by one are indeed stronger.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel excited after watching it. He just felt that before Da Qin, he had really missed too many good opportunities.
Fortunately, there was Ying Yu, who directly transformed Daqin from a powerful country on land to the first empire and dominated land and sea at the same time, opening up a road to a glorious empire that was unimaginable before.
The Roman envoy Aemilius' face changed for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh.
As the core member of the six oldest families in the entire city of Rome, the confidant of Scipio, the second consul of Rome.
Aemilius, who also served in the Roman fleet, knew the importance of sea power to Rome.
It can be said that the fortune of Rome started from supporting pirates and plundering other Mediterranean countries.
It was the huge profits from the sea that allowed Rome to catch up from behind. From a few weak city-states, it continued to expand abroad and became a powerful country in the central Mediterranean.
After grabbing the command of the Mediterranean sea from Carthage, Rome completely monopolized the Mediterranean sea trade. It jumped from a medium power that was attacked by the Gauls and razed the capital decades ago (331 BC) to become The Mediterranean overlord can even attack in multiple lines, and gain advantages in multiple lines.
It was not until encountering the stronger and more terrifying Great Qin Empire that Rome tasted the bitter fruit of defeat again.
However, although Aemilius was nervous at first, it was mainly due to the pressure from the Roman Senate and the other five major families, hoping to stabilize the power of Scipio's second consul.
Even after witnessing the mighty military parade in Xianyang City of Great Qin Dynasty, this is still the case.
After all, no matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible to swim across the vast Mediterranean Sea.
When Persian County was still owned by Seleucus, all shipbuilding capabilities had already been destroyed by Rome. It was not easy to build a powerful fleet from scratch.
You know, in Persian County today, there is not even a decent tree that can build a boat.
However, after seeing the strength of the Great Qin Navy today, Aemilius completely panicked.
He never imagined that Daqin could build such a terrifying giant ship.
For such a huge warship to have such a speed, it would be a nightmare for any hostile fleet.
At the same time, he also realized that Daqin might break through land restrictions and enter the Mediterranean Sea.
Reminiscent of Ptolemaic Egypt and the Macedonian Kingdom, which was about to become a vassal of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Seleucid Kingdom, which had been completely vassalized by the Great Qin, Aemilius couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.
On the other side, the envoys of Ptolemy Egypt and the Kingdom of Macedonia looked at each other for a long time, and then they all showed a hint of relief.
"This Great Qin is so powerful and terrifying!"
"Before we thought that Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo was just an honorific title."
"But now it seems that Daqin really has such strength."
"That's right, such a terrifying fleet, even if God sees it, he probably has to take a detour, right?"
"God? I don't think even if the god king comes, he can't be Daqin's opponent."
"Fortunately we have made the right choice!"
The envoys of the two countries discussed in low voice with ugly faces, and it took a long time before they regained their calm.
The general trend of the world is that the strong are respected. These middle-level powers, like ants in front of Daqin, have completely lost the right to say no.
