Chapter 260
"This feeling of riding the wind and waves is really blood-pumping!"
Ying Zheng stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the huge waves split by the bow of the boat, and couldn't help but be full of energy and spirit.
Although the displacement of the Great Qin Treasure Ship is as high as 3,000 tons, it can be called a giant on the sea at this moment, but the pointed bow specially designed for speed, the twelve huge sails specially optimized by the system, and the suitable wind direction today, still allow the treasure ship to run at a speed of more than 12 knots.
In today's sea vessels, it is definitely high-speed.
And although the waves are very rough, thanks to the large hull and the design of the stabilizer fins, the ship is very stable and does not bump at all.
Wang Jian couldn't help but admire: "Your Highness's shot is really extraordinary, this Great Qin Zulong battleship is not only amazing, full of power, but also so stable that it can hardly feel the shaking, if you don't pay attention, you think it's on land." "
"Indeed, the last time Lao Chen took the Wuyalou ship, he still had a slight feeling of dizziness, but now on this huge ship, it is like walking on the ground. "
Nesteng said: "In addition to the high cost, the minister really can't think of the shortcomings of this battleship. "
"With the improvement of the proficiency of the craftsmen, after the scale is larger, the unit price of the Great Qin Treasure Ship will also decrease, not to mention, someone will soon have to pay for the sea power of Great Qin. "
Fusu smiled slightly, looking at the direction of the viewing platform of the foreign envoys on the dock.
The civil and military ministers glanced at each other, and there was an extra smile on their faces.
"Your Majesty, the battleship is now in place, and it is ready to start the naval parade!"
Wang Li's report made everyone who was chatting straighten.
"Good!"
"Send a signal and start the parade!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu with an inquiring gaze, and after confirming that there was no problem, he waved his hand.
With the banner of the treasure ship as the flagship, the officers and men of the Great Qin Fleet, who had already been ready, steered the battleship in high spirits and sailed into the channel under review.
The long-awaited people of Daqin, from the familiar sound of the drum of the "General's Order" and the introduction of the commentator, understood that the parade was about to begin, and they all looked in the direction of the flagship.
"This naval parade is really different from the military parade in Xianyang City!"
"Last time it was a military parade on the road, this time it was at sea, how could it be the same, but this new giant ship is indeed majestic and domineering enough!"
"Just now, the giant ship set sail, and the split waves are higher than the smaller ships!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, as a man, it would be a pity not to go to the sea for a while, so I decided, I will go back and sign up for the navy and inspect my Great Qin Sea Frontier!"
The people rejoiced one by one, and their yearning for the great voyage rose to a new level.
The officers and men of the Great Qin Navy who were inspected were even more war-spirited, and their eyes were full of blue mobile territory.
Ying Zheng is also very excited.
The prosperity of the territory and the breadth of the territory on the Daqin Road far exceed that of the previous dynasties, but after all, it is the achievements that the predecessors have created.
And this blue territory, the ocean development, is truly unprecedented and brilliant.
For Yingzheng, who demanded himself as an emperor through the ages, it is undoubtedly more fulfilling.
Moreover, the impact and shock brought by this giant ship on the sea are indeed stronger.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel excited, and he only felt that before Daqin, he really missed too many good opportunities.
Fortunately, there was Fusu, which directly made Great Qin from a road powerhouse to the First Empire, and dominated the land and sea at the same time, opening a glorious imperial road that was unimaginable before.
The Roman envoy Aemilius, whose face changed for a long time, finally let out a long sigh.
As a core member of the six oldest families in the entire city of Rome and a close confidant of Scipio, the archon of Rome, Aemilius also served in the Roman fleet and knew the importance of sea power to Rome.
It can be said that Rome's fortune began with supporting pirate raids against other Mediterranean countries.
It was the abundant benefits of the sea that allowed Rome to come from a few weak city-states to a powerful country in the central Mediterranean.
After seizing the control of the Mediterranean Sea from Carthage, Rome completely monopolized the Mediterranean sea trade, and jumped from a middle power that was broken and razed by the Gauls decades ago (331 BC) to become the hegemon of the Mediterranean, and even attacked on multiple fronts, and gained advantages on multiple fronts.
It wasn't until they encountered the more powerful and more terrifying Great Qin people that the Romans tasted the bitter fruits of defeat again.
However, although Aemilius was originally nervous, 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 chief consul.
Even after seeing the majesty of the Great Qin Xianyang City Parade, it is still the case.
After all, no matter how strong the army is, it is impossible to swim across the vast Mediterranean.
When Persia was still part of Seleucid, all shipbuilding capacity had already been destroyed by Rome, and it was not easy to build a powerful fleet from scratch.
You know, today's Persian County doesn't even have a decent tree that can build ships.
However, after seeing the strength of the Great Qin Navy today, Aemilius was completely panicked.
The Great Qin people were able to build even such a terrifying, unimaginable giant ship, successfully launched it, and with such speed.
Couldn't Great Qin break through the restrictions of land and enter the Mediterranean?
Thinking of Ptolemaic Egypt and the Kingdom of Macedonia, which were about to become vassals of Great Qin, and the Seleucid Kingdom, which had been completely vassalized, Aemilius couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding.
On the other hand, the envoys of Ptolemaic Egypt and the Macedonian kingdom looked at each other for a long time, and then they all showed a hint of relief.
"This Great Qin is really strong and terrifying!"
"Before, we thought that the Heavenly Empire was just an honorific title. "
"But now it seems that this Great Qin really exists in the realm of mythology, so powerful that the main gods in the epic will tremble!"
"Even if the God King comes, it is impossible to be a Great Qin person, especially the opponent of His Royal Highness the Great Qin Prince!"
"Thankfully, we've made the right choice!"
The eyes of the envoys of the two countries were full of bitterness, and it took a long time to regain their calm.
The general trend of the world, the strong are respected, and they are medium-sized powerhouses in these regions, in front of Great Qin, they are like ants, and they have completely lost the ability to say no.
