C374 Vandalism
Luo Jianjian decided that she had to obtain Kulun Juele's trust first. Hailuan's strength was far inferior to Heaven's Initiation's, and their only chance of victory was that long-range artillery.
That thing was Hailuan's national secret. If Luo Jianjian wanted to see the long-range cannon, she naturally had to get Kulun Juele's trust, or even the entire Hailuan Kingdom's trust.
In two months, the only way to gain trust was to board this ship.
As long as she could successfully go out to sea and salvage a rich quantity of seafood, she would be able to solve one of the Hailuan problems. Then, Luo Jianjian would become an important figure in the entire Hailuan.
He would find a chance to see the long-range artillery with his own eyes before thinking of a way to stop the war.
Luo Jianjian made up her mind in her heart. The ship was about to be built. Every minute and second was incomparably precious, because she didn't know how much time Hailuan Kingdom would bring to bear.
The people from the Association of 100 realized that their eldest brother, Luo Jianjian, had suddenly changed. He, who never urged them to work, who always urged him to rest, had suddenly become like a slave owner.
Not only was the resting time reduced, but the eating time also became more compact. The boat that was originally supposed to take a month to complete was now built in ten days under the desperate efforts of Association of 100.
"This is …" We made it? "
Association of 100 looked at the large fishing boat in front of him and could not help but sigh in admiration. Luo Jianjian checked the blueprints one by one. Apart from the hull which had not dried yet, everything else had been properly completed. She was waiting for the ship to go into the sea to test its strength.
"I never thought that I, Luo Jianjian, would one day become a shipbuilder. This ship, let's call it Jianjian!"
"If this ship really succeeds in going into the sea, the ship's number is not up to you to decide."
Lin Zimo came to see Luo Jianjian building a ship as usual. The amazing speed that he had achieved in the past few days had opened his eyes. Now Luo Jianjian had actually built the boat she had painted on paper.
"Can't I decide the ship's number? Why? "I put in all my effort …"
"In the Hailuan, this fishing boat is a huge affair. Even the small boats that you looked down on were numbered by the Hailuan Kingdom King himself. If your ship succeeds in going into the sea, then it must be the king who has come to draw up the ship. "
Although Luo Jianjian was slightly unhappy, the overall situation was more important. She would be happy if she could make the king of Hailuan Kingdom happy.
"Lin Zimo, inform Kulun Juele. Tonight, the brown oil on the ship will be sufficient. Tomorrow morning, we can test it to get into the sea."
"Are you sure? How could such a big fellow float in the sea? "Why don't we give it a try tomorrow, and then call for the prince?"
Lin Zimo was still scared, but Luo Jianjian couldn't wait to prove herself.
"No, tomorrow, I'm sure."
Seeing that Luo Jianjian was so confident, Lin Zimo did not say anything else and nodded in agreement.
Association of 100 thought that once this ship was built, they would be able to rest. But Luo Jianjian's words shattered their dreams of rest.
"Go to sea tomorrow. This afternoon, we'll make some lifebuoys and fishing nets."
"Lifebuoy? What is that? "
"Haven't you learned to swim yet? This life buoy can save your lives in the face of danger! "
Luo Jianjian called over Association of 100 and went to the farmhouse to collect some cattle and sheep leather. She sealed the leather and blew on it with her mouth, letting it float in the shallows.
Then they collected a lot of old nets from the fishermen and connected them together to make a big net.
When everything was ready, he would wait for tomorrow. Whether he succeeded or failed, it all depended on one move!
Tonight, Luo Jianjian was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep. Although she had other plans for building the ship, she had spent more than ten days putting in effort to build it. She naturally cared about whether it would succeed tomorrow or not.
These days, in order to be a better supervisor, she didn't even go to the comfortable Fragrance Palace and instead directly set up a few small shacks on the beach. She slept with a few Association of 100 people inside.
The sounds of the waves and the night wind became clearer. Luo Jianjian tossed and turned in her bed, but she still couldn't sleep. She wanted to go to the beach and enjoy the cold wind.2
Luo Jianjian had just put on her outer robe when she saw a few figures flash past the boat. She frowned slightly and walked over quickly.
"Who is it? "Who's there?"
Luo Jianjian went over to him. The figure tried to escape in a flurry, but was blocked by her.
"Highness the Princess?"
These people were Minhan Juele and her group of people called Maidservant. A few of them looked flustered, and Maidservant threw something into the sea. It was too dark for Luo Jianjian to see.
"Yes, it's me."
Minhan Juele calmed down. He still had that proud and pampered look on his face. Luo Jianjian looked at her doubtfully.
"Why did Highness the Princess come to the beach in the middle of the night instead of sleeping in her bedroom?"
"Whatever this princess wants to do, I will do. Do I even need to explain myself to you? I heard that you're going to test the waters tomorrow, so this princess wishes you good luck! "
Minhan Juele pursed his lips and sneered. He walked up to Luo Jianjian, bumped into her and swaggered away.
Luo Jianjian was puzzled. She felt that Minhan Juele must be up to no good at all since he came to this beach in secret.
Could it be...
"This girl touched my boat?"
Luo Jianjian came up with a terrible idea. She anxiously checked the ship's hull, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Deck, cabin, sails, underside structure. She even checked the life buoy and the fishing net. There was no damage.
"Did I misunderstand? Or did this bad girl not make it in time? "
Luo Jianjian was puzzled. Minhan Juele was going to fight with her brother for his favor, and Luo Jianjian was Kulun Juele's woman. If she succeeded in sailing the seas, Wu Tie would be valued even more.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn't unreasonable that Minhan Juele wanted to do something small.
"Humph!" You sinister villain, it is fortunate that I found you in time! "
Luo Jianjian could only believe that Minhan Juele didn't make a move in time. However, she could not continue to be at ease. During the latter half of the night, she would stubbornly stay on the boat, looking at her surroundings in high spirits. She would not give anyone a chance to attack her.
At dawn, Kulun Juele brought his men to the beach in a hurry. He had only been away for a few days, yet this large ship had already appeared before his eyes, causing him to sigh in amazement.
"Miss Jianjian is indeed powerful. This ship does look more beautiful and sturdy than all the ships before Hailuan."
"What's the use of being beautiful and strong? This boat of mine is very practical. Don't you all doubt that it can float? Today is a day to broaden your horizons. It's going to be difficult for the ship to go into the sea. Prince, you have to get someone to help you drag it to the front! "
"No problem, I'll get someone to help you drag the boat first. "In two hours, I, Royal Father, and the hundred officials of the imperial court will be coming to the beach to witness the magic of this ship. Miss Jianjian, are you confident?"
"That's a must!"
Luo Jianjian smiled confidently.
