And it’s not just trains that are going to be tested today. The ship that has completed the sea trial has been manufactured in the port area here. Today, this batch of goods will be sent directly to Weihai Port on Shandong Road. While carrying things back.

Today, Zhang Nuo not only wants to take the train, he also plans to take a sea boat to visit Shandong Road. He wants to find a suitable port area there. After all, he wants to build Datang’s shipping network, only Pyongyang Road. Building a port area is useless.

Cao Xing's calves were trembling at the moment, he really didn't expect his highness to think of it as soon as he came out, he had just finished testing the steel machine, and he was about to take a boat to Shandong Road.

How dangerous it is on this vast sea, if there is any problem at that time, how will he protect His Highness?It's good that he won't become a burden by then.

However, he also knew that it was useless for him to say anything at the moment, and it was impossible for His Highness to change the things that had been decided just because he said a few words.

Besides, he also knew that this time it was really not some kind of play on the spur of the moment His Highness, it was really something to deal with, and it seemed that it was not an ordinary matter, but an important matter related to the entire Tang Dynasty.

This is even more unqualified to say, after all, according to his sixth-rank title, if he is not the commander of Qin Wang's personal guards, he is not even qualified to know.

Zhang Nuo doesn't care so much, in fact, he doesn't really want to go to Datang by boat, after all, he himself is a little seasick, and now he is still riding on this ancient old-fashioned sailing boat, not a modern big boat, and the shaking is even worse incredible.

But, there is no way, if you don’t go this way, it would be too far to take a detour, but from here you can not only inspect the construction of the port area of ​​Shandong Prefecture, but also take a trip to Chang’an to see you See Lao Li to discuss things.

It is much more comfortable to go to Chang'an from Shandong!

Chapter 578 The First Sea Journey

Zhang Nuo originally thought that for the first sea journey, he would go to sleep as soon as he got up, and then sleep until the sky was dark and dark, and then he would get off the ship when he was in the pass.

But in fact, it's too miserable!

He never imagined that the wind on the sea would be so strong at the beginning of spring, and he was lucky enough to encounter a storm.

Nima, the whole ship is like a toy bouncing forward from wave to wave.

Zhang Nuo almost got a rope to tie himself to the bed. The feeling of being thrown to the left and then to the right really sucks.

And the key is not just tossing it left and right, maybe one second you were lying on the bed, the next second you were in the air, and the next second you fell to the ground with your ass.

The whole ship has already turned into a ball that is constantly beating and rolling, drifting with the current on the sea surface.

Before boarding the boat, Commander Cao Xing, who kept saying he wanted to take care of Zhang Nuo, had already turned into a dead dog.

Zhang Nuo's physical fitness is better than Cao Xing's, so he hasn't passed out yet, but at this moment he would rather pass out by himself.

He has opened his plug-in several times to plan to buy something for himself, yachts, giant ships, cruise ships, submarines, anyway, in his opinion, any later ship that is more expensive and has a larger tonnage is more comfortable than the current one.

Not to mention the submarine, no matter how big the wind and waves are on you, it will be absolutely calm when you dive into the water.

But the last sliver of reason told him that it would be useless for him to create an aircraft carrier now, because no one, including himself, would be able to drive such a thing.

This is also the only disadvantage of his system plug-in, that is, it only provides knowledge, but it exists in the form of books, and you have to study and practice carefully after buying it yourself to master it.

Apart from the martial arts and medical skills that came in his mind as rewards, Zhang Nuo can proudly say that all other knowledge is learned by himself.

Of course, this brings up a problem, that is, at this moment, no matter what kind of ship he comes up with, unless it is fully intelligent from starting to berthing, it will be useless.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo, who had no way out, completely regarded himself as a piece of pork belly with no emotions, and thought of nothing else, just get over it.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Nuo felt that his body and head covered by the quilt had been knocked into a daze, and finally he vaguely heard someone calling him, and at the same time, it seemed that the movement outside was not so loud.

Zhang Nuo hurriedly got out of the quilt that was already in a mess, covered his forehead and looked, yo, it seems that the movement has been much quieter.

Although it is still swaying at this time, compared to before, it is almost as if it has not moved. It is too gentle. At least Zhang Nuo can stand on the ground and walk now.

Zhang Nuo opened the door of the cabin in a daze, went outside to have a look, huh, this shit is coming soon?I won't stay in the cabin for a day or two at once.

In the end, after he inquired about it, he found out that what was it that was in a coma for too long? It was true that the whole ship was blown all the way by the typhoon. Looking at the coastline visible in the distance, this is indeed Shandong Road.

Zhang Nuo looked at the endless ocean behind him with lingering fear, mother, he finally understood why some people in later generations would say that the bigger the boat, the more stable it is, and this small boat less than 50 meters is really unreliable.

Anyway, he has already made up his mind at this moment, and he will never attack the Wa country until he has a giant ship of 300 meters in the future.

This shit, Pyongyang Road is only [-] kilometers away from Shandong Road, and he was tossed like a grandson by the storm. If he went to the country of Wa for a long way, the road was high and the road was long, so he couldn’t take this road. My little life is gone.

Don’t go, I’m determined not to go, I must hurry up to get a big boat, without a big boat it’s too fucking insecure.

Zhang Nuo had already strengthened his determination at this time, and he had to get out the big steel ship quickly. After all, if there was no big steel ship, how could he get out a big ship with thousands of tons or even thousands of tons?How to resist wind and waves?

Unless he doesn't want to fight the Wa country, otherwise, he has made this ship!

Of course, if the strength is not enough, then he can just get one as his flagship, anyway, he won't suffer from it even if he is killed.

Nima, as a child who was born and raised inland, used to always feel that the sea was so beautiful. Occasionally, when I went to the seaside, I could see girls in swimsuits, and I even envied other people's yachts to go out to sea.

But now he has discovered that all good things are just imagination, and all good things are fake when he is really on the sea. If there is no such condition, he will be taught to behave in various ways when he goes there.

Zhang Nuo was really scared this time. In the face of the mighty power of nature, no matter how powerful he is, he is still an ordinary person after all. Before, he was still an ant after all.

Zhang Nuo has no way to change all of this at the moment, because it cannot be changed in a short period of time, and even Zhang Nuo clearly knows that even if he starts planning the Iron Battleship now, it may not be effective within a few years.

However, Zhang Nuo still decided to do it after meeting Lao Li in a few days. If Lao Li disagreed, he would talk about it in Pyongyang.

He would never allow himself to be in this thrilling state next time he came to sea.At the same time, it is necessary to further improve the observation and prediction level of the weather.

If they knew in advance that there was a storm here, then there was no need for them to be so stubborn, and it was not impossible to turn around and go back.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo's shipping plan and naval plan seem to have a lot to be added at this time. If it is really the same as before, it is unknown how many people have been killed.

Zhang Nuo sighed deeply. He tried his best to imagine nature as scary as possible, but now it seems that he still didn't think enough.

It can even be said that compared to the difficulty of sailing at sea, what he has done so far may not even be enough!

If this is the case, adjustments must be made, and adjustments should be made in terms of teaching materials, training, equipment, etc., so as to provide more guarantees for Datang Shipping in the future.

It's just that he can handle the textbooks, but where can he get so many teachers?

After all, he can't just trap himself in school and go to class every day, and even if he goes to class, how much can he take?

Chapter 579

Zhang Nuo and his party finally arrived at their intended destination, Weihai!

Seeing the visibly rough appearance of the whole ship, the welcoming officials were stunned. Did your Highness encounter a big storm?

As old residents who grew up by the sea, this group of people knew better than the inland people what it would be like when the seemingly gentle and calm sea became violent.

Therefore, they were really surprised that Zhang Nuo and his party were able to make it all the way through the storm.

After all, a day or two ago, they had clearly seen what it looked like when the shocking typhoon at sea blew all the way to the land.

After hearing their introduction, Zhang Nuo finally understood that he was not attacked by ordinary storms, but by a typhoon that he only encounters once in many years.

Nima is a bit unlucky.

He said why it is so good, Europeans can drive this boat in the sea and ocean after 1000 years, and he made it according to the blueprint, but it almost capsized in the Bohai Bay, which is simply unscientific.

It's not that the ship is not good enough, but we chose a hell difficulty. The first cross-sea trade transportation encountered a typhoon that is rare in a century?

This Nima is a bit wronged, no wonder I am so miserable this time, and the ship can't carry it no matter what, it feels like it will be destroyed by the wind and waves at any time, it turns out that it is not a situation that this kind of sea-going ship should deal with.

Then it will be fine, and this kind of typhoon is rare, so we can just hide from it in the future. It seems that there is no need to die for the time being, and the current ships are enough.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo heaved a sigh of relief. He originally thought that his Japanese plan would be postponed for a few years. Why is it so hard to go to a Japanese country?

Now he understood that it wasn't that the ship was bad, or that the sailors were messing around, it was all because the ship had endured the wind and waves that he shouldn't have endured.

Under normal circumstances, this ship should come here smoothly!

Alas, after figuring it out, Zhang Nuo also heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Weihai with peace of mind.

Previously, for a port area, there were requirements in terms of hydrological conditions, water depth, traffic, population, etc., but Zhang Nuo didn't know about it, but he knew about Weihai. After all, there will be a Weihai port here in later generations.

Since later generations of [-]-ton ships can berth, it is even easier for small sea-going ships of less than [-] tons to be docked now.

However, the construction of the port is not so simple. Zhang Nuo, who has experience in port construction once, does not say that he has rich experience, but at least he has a clear understanding of the problems that need to be considered and faced in the construction of the port area.

Judging from the current situation, if Weihai is to be transformed into a port area, the difficulty will be lower than that of Pyongyang Road, but there are still problems.

First of all, it is the most basic. The administrative division must be redefined here, and it is no longer a place that Weihai County can govern.

After all, according to Zhang Nuo's plan, this port area will be the most important port area in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. There are not only port areas, shipyards, storage areas, trade areas, etc., this is not a county. It's a place that can be managed.

Furthermore, as a place directly managed by Li Shimin or Zhang Nuo, if the grade is too low, wouldn't it be a joke?

Wouldn't it be a joke if His Majesty the Tang Emperor should directly manage a county magistrate under the seventh rank? Even Zhang Nuo, the king of Qin, is not a seventh rank able to talk directly.

Therefore, once Zhang Nuo really decides to build a port area here like that of Pyongyang Road, the first thing to do is to redraw a piece of land here and re-establish the administrative organization.

Secondly, another trouble in establishing a port area is manpower and material resources, which are the most basic things.

You must know that the reason why Pyongyang Road can be built so fast is almost all due to the hard work of a large number of slaves, but now it will be troublesome to switch to this side.

Although corvee can be used to recruit local people, but this is actually a waste of money, because you have used up this year's corvee, so if you need to use corvee for other things, because corvee has long been If you are recruited, you can only spend money to hire people.

However, since slaves can be used on Pyongyang Road, it should also be possible here. There are quite a lot of slaves still in Li Shimin's hands, and it should be okay for Lao Li to transfer some people from him by then.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo had another idea. He wanted Li Shimin to go to Pyongyang Road to see a city that was built from scratch under his transformation and promotion, and to see the equipment that can change the world.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I just want to show off in front of Li Shimin, let him know what kind of good things such as trains and sea boats are, so that Li Shimin can be tempted later, and then they can be promoted in Datang.

However, this point is almost a long way to go. After all, it is a very important thing for the emperor to leave the palace for a tour these days.

This not only requires a long, long discussion in the court, but also leaves enough staff and confidantes to supervise the country, and there are a lot of particulars about whether the prince will supervise the country or what.

Thinking about these Zhang Nuo also felt a pain in the head, forget it, tell Lao Li when the time comes, he can go if he wants to, if he doesn't, it's up to him.

It's just that after confirming that Weihai is suitable for the construction of the port area, Zhang Nuo will head towards Chang'an. He also plans to live in Chang'an for a few days to discuss the next arrangements with Li Shimin. At the same time, he also wants to ask, This shit just threw him over there on Pyongyang Road, when will he be called back.

Although he can eat, drink, and other things there, he can speak Korean everywhere on the street. Occasionally, a few immigrants from the customs pass by to hear the familiar dialect, which is really unaccustomed.

The most important thing is that he misses his little house and his big bed. Even though the conditions at home are so good, why should he travel far away? It's just heartbreaking.

Therefore, he had to chat with Lao Li about how long he would put himself in Pyongyang, not to mention letting him come back now, but there must be a spectrum, so he couldn't just leave it there and leave it alone.

Moreover, there is another very important issue, that is, Zhang Nuo plans to build a large-scale breeding base in Pyongyang, and it is not the kind of raising cattle and sheep, but the kind of raising pigs and large-scale farming, so he must communicate with this in advance Communication is good, when the time comes, the fresh meat will be frozen or dried!

Chapter 580 Cao Xing is Scared

Zhang Nuo belongs to the kind who sits up and walks. To put it bluntly, he just thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it. After seeing what he should see here, he turned his head and took the off-road vehicle he used for the last time from the space. The car was brought out.

Picking up the oil tank bought in the system mall and filling it up, Zhang Nuo took Cao Xing directly, kicked the accelerator and just slipped away.

Of course, before he left, he arranged for other guards to help him collect information or something.

Seeing that the other guards are in a bad state, this damn is too perfunctory, what is information collection, this is in the territory of Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness Qin Wang asked, what information can't be obtained?

Isn't it just that they dislike them for being in the way, and they have also seen that, if Commander Cao Xing hadn't held onto him desperately just now, His Highness probably wouldn't even take Commander Cao Xing with him, and would have slipped away by himself.

However, it's a mistake now. Although I can't follow His Highness, I haven't returned to the pass for a long time. It seems good to be able to take a vacation in the pass.

The guards were so familiar with each other, they just had a look at each other, and they knew what they were planning with a wicked smile. They laughed a few times, turned around and were ready to slip away.

As for where to go, I don't know, anyway, they are all old men, so it is still possible to lose it.

On the other hand, Zhang Nuo drove the car after a long time, and started to have fun. It just so happens that Shandong Road is different from other places. The road conditions here are not bad, at least the official road is still smooth, so Zhang Nuo almost went all the way. stand up.

From the moment Cao Xing got on the car, he grabbed the handle with a tense face, and his whole body was tense. He was excited at the beginning, but now his face is almost pale.

Although the seats in this car are soft and comfortable to sit on, and the wind is warm and comfortable, but the speed in front of him is obviously much faster than riding a horse, so he can't help but worry about it.

One must know that he was still floating in the sea yesterday, throwing up in the dark, his whole body was empty, he just slept for a night to calm down a little, but today is still such an exciting journey, how can he bear it?

But I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been dangling on the sea for more than a day, my nerves have become tough, obviously this car is also wobbly on the road, but Cao Xing doesn’t feel like vomiting at all, it’s just that the speed is too fast and the bumps Just a little nervous.

Zhang Nuo also wanted to return home this time, he hadn't stayed in his small home for a long time, and he always felt that the more he ran towards Chang'an, the feeling of longing for him became stronger.

Therefore, it took Zhang Nuo more than a day to cover the 1000-[-] kilometers from Weihai to Chang'an.

You know, at this time, there are no national or provincial roads, let alone expressways. It would be nice to have an official road, not to mention that there are no bridges that can carry cars.

For all the rivers, Zhang Nuo relies on retracting the car into the space, and then releasing the car after passing by himself, so that he can continue to move forward by cheating.

But Zhang Nuo didn't go all the way here in vain. While running, he asked Cao Xing to record the conditions of the state capitals he passed, as well as road conditions, rivers, existing bridges and other information.

In Zhang Nuo's view, this road is actually a ready-made railway embankment, and it would be best to build a railway directly on it at that time.

And this time he has roughly inspected the direction of the railway and the difficulty of construction.

However, judging from the situation he inspected, it can only be said that it is okay, there are almost no places that cannot be done at all, but there are definitely a lot of small troubles, not to mention several hills that need to be blasted, only this road needs to be bridged The place is definitely not one or two.

Some places are okay, but there are several places in the middle that need to erect large bridges of more than [-] meters. This is not a small test for the technical level of this era, even if cement is used.

Moreover, this is also a major test for the level of construction personnel.

The most important thing is that although Datang has always been very good in construction, it is based on ordinary civil architecture. For the use of reinforced concrete, especially large-scale infrastructure projects, Datang lacks such professionals.

It stands to reason that such talents must belong to the country, because only the country will have such a demand, and only the country will have such courage to build those large-scale projects.
