Chapter 1063
An hour later.
The gate of the Cháng'ān shipyard, which has been mysterious for a long time, forbids anyone to approach, but slowly opened.
Cháng'ān shipyard is located in the Longshou Canal between the Great Ming Palace and Jiacheng.
Up to Mt. Longshou, down to the Weishui River.
At this time.
With the sound of firecrackers that shook the sky.
All the people were shocked to discover a major event.
That is, the Cháng'ān shipyard, which has been closed for several months, actually opened its doors!
After everyone was silent for a while, they moved swiftly towards the Cháng'ān shipyard. They wanted to see what major event the shipyard had today. It happened, after all, this thing has never happened before.
However, before everyone approached, I saw a dark lacquer thing, which seemed to be an iron bump, slowly following the wind, slowly approaching outside the shipyard.
"My Heavens! This is...a ship, an iron ship!"
With a blacksmith crying out in surprise, everyone discovered that it was dark Something, the whole body is covered with a layer of iron that I don't know how thick it is!
This time, it's incredible.
Everyone burst.
They haven't seen the Great Tang ship, and the previous ship, but the iron bump at this time really made everyone startled.
I couldn’t help but daring people, crazy moved towards the shipyard, and this time, the shipyard’s garrison never went to drive everyone away as usual. This time, everyone’s Bolder.
They swarmed, even the businessmen, who didn't even want their stalls, followed the crowd to watch the show.
This time is really lively.
The ship, following the north wind, traveled slowly from the East Dragon Head Canal to Tonghua Gate, and then came slowly towards the Chunming Gate near the East Market. At this time, the people watching were more too much.
The firecrackers, like no money, are set off in piles on the ship, and the red cloth on the iron ship is already layered layer after layer.
At this time, as the firecrackers spread farther and farther in the north wind, most of the people in Chang'an City could hear the shaking sound.
People are getting more and more together, even outside the Chunming Gate, there are already densely packed crowds, everyone is staring at the big boat in the river, even outside the city gate or outside the city gate. The eyes of the city defense troops stationed on the city wall were staring out at this time.
At this moment, the iron ship slowly stopped in the Longshou Canal of Chunmingmen.
As the iron ship slowly stopped, the originally calm and waveless water instantly dismissed a huge wave and slammed it on the onlookers head-on.
With a burst of exclamation sound.
At this time, all the talents came to their senses from the shock.
I didn't see any movement in the boat. At this time, everyone pretended to be bold and stepped forward to take a closer look.
Longshou Canal was originally used as a moat. The river surface is at least ten zhang wide, but at this time it can only fit an iron ship, and as the iron ship slowly comes to shore, The water surface has already skyrocketed.
The people also followed the boat as it approached the shore. After seeing that the people on the boat were not moving, they slowly stepped forward.
At this look, everyone couldn't help but burst into exclamations again.
The entire hull of the ship is thickly attached. Pieces of iron pieces the size of one foot are riveted to the hull with rivets, and in the gaps, I don’t know how to fill them. What the hell.
At this time, everyone looked up and couldn't help being sucked in a cold breath again.
"This whole ship is made of iron?"
"My God, how much iron is going to waste!"
"Is this going to go to war... …"
Following the sound of doubts, the sound of horseshoes also sounded behind everyone, and everyone did not think much, and hurried forward, hurriedly giving way to a path.
I saw a group of officials from the Ministry of Works and Ministry of Appointments hurriedly appearing at the gate of Chunming. Even at this time, everyone did not even sit in the sedan chair, but instead took horses.
As everyone approached, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Looking at the iron bumps in front of you, all officials couldn't help being sucked in a cold breath.
On the ship, the Cháng'ān sailor commanded Zhang Liang. At this time, the armor on his body was shiny, and he even made a red cloak tied to his neck. As the north wind blows the Buddha, It's really pretty.
"My lord, the iron ship that was supposed to be supervised has already been built. I'm here to meet with you today, so please come up and check!" Zhang Liang's voice was also loud at this time.
It seems that I want everyone present to hear his great achievements.
And this voice really worked.
Once again won the crowd's exclamation.
He Zhongzheng and the others couldn't wait a long time ago. After an official acquaintance with Zhang Liang, they hurriedly boarded the iron ship.
As soon as I boarded the iron boat, and joined Zhongzheng and the others, I felt shocked at this time. ,
Almost the entire ship is made of iron, and even the three incomparable gigantic masts on the ship, he is sure that it is absolutely pure iron!
He Zhongzheng is indeed someone who has heard of this shipyard. He is building a new type of ship and transports Iron ore stones directly from the Ministry of Works every month. Even the shipyard has the right to buy directly from outside. .
With such a huge number, did this happen?
