Chapter 100 Zhao Yi's Underwear

With the opening of the railway line, the speed of material transportation has been greatly improved.

The production volume of various factories in Shahe Village has been rising steadily.

The manpower in Shahe Village is barely enough to support such a large-scale production.

So Zhao Yi decided to ask his father for the person.

Since both parties have already made their confession.

Then some things can be let go.

For example, steel smelting technology.

Ying Zheng had long wanted this technology, so he sent out his trusted shadow guard.

With the additional manpower from the shadow guards, the factory's production volume increased further.

At the same time, Ying Zheng also learned about Zhao Yi’s original backup plan for escape - the steel ship.

When Ying Zheng arrived at the secret factory and saw the steel ship whose keel was being built, he was shocked again.

Originally, Ying Zheng was very curious about what was hidden inside the new 100-meter-long building in Shahe Village.

Even though he was mentally prepared for what Zhao Yi was hiding, he was still surprised.

Ying Zheng never expected that Zhao Yi actually hid such a thing!

A hundred-meter-long ship is under construction, and it is made of steel!

You should know that the shipbuilding industry of Daqin was very developed.

Because Daqin needed ships to transport food from various places.

When the Qin Dynasty was conquering the six kingdoms, it relied on large ships to transport food and fodder.

In addition, because Ying Zheng was superstitious about immortality before, he believed Xu Fu's story of searching for immortals in Penglai, East China Sea.

Therefore, Ying Zheng ordered the construction of the largest ship in the history of the Qin Dynasty - the Mirage, so that Xu Fu could go to sea to find the Penglai Island in order to obtain the elixir of immortality.

But the Mirage was only sixty meters long and twenty meters wide.

However, it is more than twice as large as the ordinary ships of the Qin Dynasty.

You should know that the largest ship of the Qin Dynasty was only 30 meters long and 8 meters wide.

And now the ship in front of Ying Zheng is actually one hundred meters long!
That's why Ying Zheng was so shocked.

It turns out that this kid Zhao Yi is secretly making this kind of thing!
Fortunately, Zhao Yi is his own child, otherwise, who knows what he would do to the Qin Dynasty.

Only when he thought of this did Ying Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Ying Zheng, standing on a high place, looked at the keel of the 100-meter ship below, then turned to Zhao Yi and said in shock: "So you were secretly building this thing."

Being looked at like this by Ying Zheng, Zhao Yi scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said: "Hey, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. We must be prepared for everything to be safe. Father, think about it, we were rebelling before!"

Since Zhao Yi is a modern man and he is used to the previous way of getting along with Ying Zheng, he is not used to calling Ying Zheng father now, and can only reluctantly call him father.

Ying Zheng also allowed Zhao Yi to call him so disrespectfully. After all, Zhao Yi used to call him Lao Zhao. Now calling him father was already a big improvement.

Moreover, Ying Zheng also liked the casual way Zhao Yi treated him before, which reminded him of the days when he lived with Lin Yunying.

But to Wang Jian who was standing next to him, Zhao Yi's address to Ying Zheng seemed like an extremely deep imperial favor!

Zhao Yi is deeply indebted to the Dragon!

Before His Majesty's identity was exposed, he could always call him Master Zhao, and after he revealed his identity, he could still call him father.

Only Zhao Yi could have such treatment, and no one else could have it. Even if Fusu Huhai called him father instead of the emperor, he would definitely be considered disrespectful by His Majesty and punished.

After listening to Zhao Yi's explanation, Ying Zheng felt that what Zhao Yi said made some sense.

However, Zhao Yi thought that the Qin army was some kind of monsters, based on the power of the pistol grenades he had demonstrated before.

Why could the Qin army be his opponent?

They are actually secretly building this hundred-meter-long steel ship!
Ying Zheng could imagine a scene where if he fell out with Zhao Yi and sent a large army to encircle Shahe Village, a hundred-meter-long steel ship would suddenly rush out of Shahe Village and escape with people on board.

Fortunately, I didn't have this idea before.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved.

Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Yi and said earnestly: "You think Daqin is too strong. Based on what you have shown before, Daqin is no match for you."

Zhao Yi continued scratching his head and said, "It's a good idea to prepare some backup plans. Although I didn't tell you about the shipbuilding, I will take you with me if I really run away."

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have a conscience. You didn't forget to take me with you when you ran away."

Wang Jian, who was standing by, was watching the conversation between the father and son and thought it was very strange.

Ying Zheng leaned on the railing with both hands. He asked curiously, "Zhao Yi, where did you originally plan to go on this boat?"

Zhao Yi replied: "There is an archipelago not far from the East China Sea. The Qin has not yet discovered it. If the rebellion fails, you can go to the archipelago to recuperate and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

The archipelago Zhao Yi mentioned was Fuso, which was later known as Wakoku.

There are enough resources above for Zhao Yi to develop industry again, so that Zhao Yi can counterattack Daqin again or take advantage of this opportunity to cross the ocean to the American continent where resources are more abundant.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng was speechless.

I didn't expect that this kid had even thought of a place to escape to, and the place he wanted to escape to was a place unknown to Daqin.

This guy's tricks are really deep.

Being able to think so far ahead, the Qin Dynasty will surely become more prosperous in his hands in the future.

Ying Zheng became more determined to make Zhao Yi his successor.

Zhao Yi continued, "But now that we know my father's identity, this ship won't be used for escape."

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Oh? Are you planning to use this ship to cross the Pacific Ocean to the American continent, or to the European continent?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "No, father, this ship is not suitable for crossing the ocean. It is better to use this ship for transportation in Daqin."

The reason why Zhao Yi said this was because the manufacturing of this ship was completely immature. It was just the result of enlarging the ship model drawings based on his memory of the ship model he had played with before obtaining the library.

It's okay to run in the river or in the near sea to the Fuso Islands, but it's totally impossible to run in the open ocean.

After all, he is not a professional shipbuilder.

Ship design is very technical.

If this ship were to be judged according to later generations' assessments, it would not even pass a safety inspection.

However, now that he had a library, Zhao Yi modified the original design drawings by imitating regular ship design drawings to make up for it.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were shocked when they heard this. How could such a large ship not be suitable for crossing the ocean?

What kind of ship is needed to cross the ocean?

Did Zhao Yi mean that he could build a bigger ship?
