Chapter 3583 Two more ships
Malacca is indeed not the only channel between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In fact, whether you are going to the outside of the Philippines, detours the edge of Australia, the Makassar Strait, cross the Java Sea, the Sunda Strait or the Lombok Strait, you can go from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
But as Zhou Yu said, the hydrological reefs over there are different things from those in Malacca. Instead of walking around the places with more winds and waves and reefs, it is better to be realistic. Go a little further away, go outside the Philippines, and head south to the next to East Timor.
Not to mention anything else, at least the probability of shipwrecking on this road is much smaller than that on other roads. As for the disadvantages, it is probably a matter of materials and water.
However, at this time, the output of Southeast Asian islands can still be barely supported, and materials and water are not very fatal.
When Gan Ning heard Zhou Yu's words, he understood what Zhou Yu meant. In fact, everyone in the entire fleet knew that Gan Ning and Meng Kangbu had an old age, so it was most appropriate to leave this matter to Gan Ning himself to solve it. As for what it finally solved, it didn't matter.
"Okay." Gan Ning didn't say much, but just nodded, saying that he could just accept it and hand it over to him. There was indeed a solution between Meng Kangbu and him.
"Organize the complete warships, you take the fleet south, I will take the other ships north to the shipyard." Zhou Yu began to make a careful calculation.
During the battle, Zhou Yu was indeed in a state of no concern for losses at all, but after the battle, Zhou Yu began to make careful calculations and would never waste any supplies.
Gan Ning nodded, parted with Zhou Yu, and then organized a fleet to go south. Zhou Yu looked at the broken sampan on the sea and couldn't help but shake his head. I'm afraid Selyan would not have expected that he would be defeated in the end.
"Have you sent the message to Bofu?" Zhou Yu asked Zhou Tai, who was standing by, as he went north. There was no radio these days, and the transmission of messages was largely limited.
"It has been sent by Xinying, and you should receive the message tomorrow." Zhou Tai nodded and said, "The Xinying was also sent by Chang'an. I'm afraid they will be very shocked this time."
"Ha." Zhou Yu smiled, then stood at the head of the ship without saying a word. As the entire broken fleet began to head north, everything was different next.
In Chang'an, the second month after Chen Xi left, Zhuge Liang was still working overtime. Speaking of which, I don't know if it was an illusion or something. Li You and Jia Xu always felt that Zhuge Liang had been working overtime all the time. He felt that when they left at night, Zhuge Liang was there, and when they came in the morning, Zhuge Liang was still there.
"Sure enough, Kong Ming is still working overtime." When Jia Xu brought Li You together, he saw Zhuge Liang still working under the light.
"Sir Li, Master Jia." Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed slightly.
"It's free. You're so young and so crazy, you really won't have any problems?" Jia Xu looked at Zhuge Liang and said strangely.
Jia Xu didn't think it was bad for others not to do it because he was paddling, but he just felt that Zhuge Liang's situation of working overtime every day was a bit wrong. You should know that Zhuge Liang has two wives. If he works overtime every day, he has to pay public food, he will die suddenly.
"No." Zhuge Liang looked down at his tendon flesh, "In Zichuan's words, it is probably that only the weak will die suddenly when working overtime, and the strong will only explode overnight."
"Don't learn from Zichuan. That guy talks one by one, but you can see how he works for yourself." Li You glanced at Zhuge Liang and said.
At this moment, Liu Ye also walked in from the door yawning. Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that it seemed that something big had happened on the front line.
"Zhou Gongjin fought head-on to kill Selyan in the Ryukyu Islands, and the Kushan Navy lost more than half. The Kara Canal on the Malay Peninsula has been opened. In addition to Malacca, there is another channel from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean controlled by us. After the Kushan Navy was defeated, the situation in the entire southeast region changed in an all-round way." Jia Xu said concisely.
To be honest, Jia Xu was very curious about how Zhou Yu killed Serian. After all, they also had images of the sea battle with Serian sent back by Zhou Yu. How to say it, it was simply a battle of immortals.
However, after only more than a year, Zhou Yu killed this monster cleanly, which was really surprising.
"Would it be said that it was Zhou Gongjin?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said quietly.
After they watched the naval battle before, they felt that Zhou Yu still lay down and followed Chen Xi's plan, slowly dragging it down, and waited for the seventh generation ship to be launched. As a result, Zhou Yu actually killed Sellian head-on, which was indeed beyond their expectations.
"No matter what, after killing Selian, the progress of Sun Ce's power successfully surpassed the progress of others, and the situation was really reversed by Zhou Gongjin." Liu Ye said with emotion.
Maybe it was because he was far away, and Zhou Yu was handsome, capable, and noble, so there was no conflict between the two sides. Liu Ye rarely stood up and praised others.
"Yes, so our last shortcoming will be made up. When the seventh generation ship is built, it will almost end." Jia Xu nodded and said, "Cross a secret newspaper to Yanzhou. Speaking of which, I heard that the situation there is a little bad?"
"Yes, Zichuan went to check there." Liu Ye sighed. Chen Xi discovered something that had not been reviewed by the audit when he passed by. He was investigating now, but he didn't know what was going on. But generally speaking, if Chen Xi ended up in person, it would not be a small matter.
"Print the battle report onto the residence newspaper and send it to various places." Li You suddenly said. The Han Dynasty had not promoted the Southeast Sea Battle before, but in fact it was mainly because it could not be defeated. Now, if it is a turnaround, it should be revealed that the previous sacrifice will be revealed.
"Then we should describe the naval battles of the past two years together." Zhuge Liang looked at Li You and asked, there was another issue involved.
"Let's describe it together. The previous naval battle was briefly written in the Spring and Autumn style. The main core is how many Kushan fleets were killed this time." Li You's order was very clear.
"Next, we should need to draw up a list." Liu Ye looked at Li You and asked.
"Sun Bofu has not sent the roster yet, so don't move. The detailed battle report and the damage have not been sent here. Wait." Li You shook his head. According to Li You's estimate, the expedited battle report was so rough, and Zhou Yu might have some other ideas in it.
Liu Ye also read the original war report, so he also understood Li You's concerns. In fact, Liu Ye's thinking was very simple this time, just to sell Zhou Yu for a good deal. After all, after the other party fucked Selyan, he really stepped on the throne of the old king's corpse.
After finalizing some details, Li You and others began to operate, so when Zhou Yu led the fleet to the Donglai Shipyard, the Donglai's minds had already learned that Zhou Yu had defeated Salian.
"Congratulations, Governor Zhou, there will be no opponent in the world that can stop your car in the future." Lu Jun went to greet Zhou Yu in person. Looking at the large piece of dilapidated warships, he could also feel what kind of war Zhou Yu fought.
"I don't know what happened in the future. All I can do now is to take good care of you now." Zhou Yu shook his head, "How long will it take for these more than 90 warships to be repaired."
"We now have a large number of skilled workers, which are enough to deal with the maintenance of warships, but the dock is not enough." Lu Jun said with a headache. Donglai Shipyard is very large, but half of the docks occupy. After all, they not only build warships, but also fishing boats.
Although it is okay to postpone the fishing boat, in Lu Jun's opinion, it is not reasonable for Zhou Yu to drive all the damaged warships to Donglai. After all, not only Donglai has a shipyard, but also Jiangdong, and the shipyards in Jiangdong are closer from the south to the north.
What's more, after Chen Xi asked Donglai to spread technology back then, there would be no problem even if it was built on the Jiangdong shipbuilding, let alone repairing these pseudo-seventh-generation ships.
After all, only by having the ability to build pseudo-seventh-generation ships can we step forward to building seventh-generation ships. This is a prerequisite, so Lu Jun knew very well that Zhou Yu would definitely have other intentions to drive all the damaged warships over, not just wanting to repair the ship.
"It's okay, take it slowly. I'm here to see the progress of the seventh-generation ship." Zhou Yu had no intention of concealing it at all. He couldn't get rid of Selian. Zhou Yu's fleet was just like that, but after killing Selian and proving that he had the ability to roam all over the world, many things were different.
"Seventh-generation ship, there is no problem with this." Lu Jun nodded. Not to mention that Zhou Yu had invested in the past, even if he did not invest, based on Zhou Yu's current situation, Lu Jun would ask Zhou Yu to take a look and give him some suggestions to the seventh-generation ship.
After all, Lu Jun and others were just shipbuilding, while Zhou Yu participated in the war. They built warships from the perspective of technology and engineering structure, while Zhou Yu made suggestions from the perspective of use. The most correct way to combine the two sides is.
So Zhou Yu was able to truly see such a super ship that he was dreaming about. Even if it was still quite far from being built, Zhou Yu felt a kind of spiritual shock and shock just standing in the dock. He needed this warship.
"How long will it take to build it?" Zhou Yu asked his own question concisely.
"We have overcome all structural and dynamic problems at present, with only construction left. It is expected that thematic construction will be completed at the beginning of the year after tomorrow." Lu Jun said after thinking about it, "At that time, we will also have to be equipped with turrets, armor, etc., but we will definitely be able to fight the year after tomorrow."
"How much steel does this require?" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked.
"Thirty-six thousand tons." Lu Jun said without thinking.
