Throne of Vientiane Civilization

As a ruler, Zhou Xu always likes a comfortable life, reviewing documents every day, going to get off work on time, and having no worries about food and drink.

In the evening, he has nothing to do, either studying the truth by himself, or communicating with his concubines. His life is stable and fulfilling, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Since he accidentally learned from Bam that his concubine, who was born as a mortal, could not give birth to offspring with him, Zhou Xu finally figured out the crux of the matter, and the whole person can be said to be suddenly enlightened.

But at the same time, there is a little bit of entanglement.

After all, as a Chinese man, passing on the family line has always been a big deal for them.

Unlike before, he really has a throne that needs someone to inherit!

As a supernatural life, although his natural life span has been greatly extended, Zhou Xu does not know how old he can live now.

Take the elves who are born as supernatural life, for example, their natural life span is about 1,600 years.

In other words, supernatural life is not immortal, and life span is reversed, and they will die when they are supposed to die.

Not to mention if you encounter any special situation, such as a serious illness, or a fatal injury, in this case, no matter how long your life span is, it will be useless.

From this point of view, the existence of a descendant is indeed necessary.

As a ruler, Zhou Xu habitually prepares himself for the worst, instead of thinking that he is an extraordinary life and has a long life span, and foolishly does not make any backup plans.

But the problem now is that ordinary human women cannot conceive his children. Only women with a higher life level have the probability of giving birth to children with him.

Under this premise, considering the inheritance of the five-dimensional attributes, it would be better if the other party's five-dimensional attributes are higher.

But he is just thinking about it casually now, and he doesn't know how to find it at all. He can only say that he will go with the flow.

In the new year, the focus of the Great Zhou has completely shifted to the southern border, and the border fortress has been given top priority.

With all the building materials in place in advance, once the labor force arrives, the entire work efficiency can be said to be quickly pulled to the maximum. At this time, the coastal fortress on the border has been built in a decent manner.

At the same time, in the dock near the harbor, the shipbuilding team that came from the Black Moon City Shipyard had successfully completed the construction of three seagoing ships, two small and one large.

This was undoubtedly Zhou Xu's request. The situation of building ships along the coast is different from that of building ships in the inner lake.

Qingshui Lake is inside their Great Zhou territory. No matter where the ship goes, there will be no enemies and there is no risk.

Therefore, except for the few small boats built at the beginning, the ships on Qingshui Lake are mainly large transport ships and fishing boats, with strong transportation capacity and high work efficiency.

But the situation is different when they are on the sea.

They may encounter enemies when they are sailing on the sea!

Once a battle occurs, although the large ship has a higher ability to transport troops, it is slow and has limited flexibility.

On the other hand, although the small ship has poor ability to transport troops, it is light, flexible, and fast.

Once a battle occurs, whether it is to support its own large ship or to rush directly to the opposite ship, such tasks can be completed by the small ship.

While building seagoing ships, the formation and training of the navy must undoubtedly be carried out simultaneously.

Under this premise, since they rarely saw large lakes before, the lizardmen were not very good at swimming, let alone in the sea.

As a result, the responsibility of forming a navy fell on the human forces led by Bai Tu.

Bai Tu had always lived inland before, and he had never seen many large rivers, let alone the sea. At first, he was completely clueless when he was asked to form a navy.

Fortunately, Zhou Xu had already considered this and sent him a training plan for naval soldiers, which allowed Bai Tu to quickly find the direction of his efforts.

At the same time, his respect for Zhou Xu became even stronger.

To become a naval soldier, the most important thing is not to get seasick, then to be able to swim, and to have good balance.

After all, in this era, naval warfare mainly took place on ships, and the battles between the enemy and us took the form of boarding battles.

The ship was bumpy and shaking on the sea. If you want to fight under such conditions, you can't do it without good balance.

And in the battle, if you accidentally fall off the boat and fall into the sea, you are dead if you are not good at swimming.

In this way, as long as you determine what conditions are required to become a naval soldier, then how to train will naturally have an answer.

For this first naval force, they first set the size to 300 people.

This number has actually taken into account the large ships being built later.

Otherwise, even if you expand the size of the force to 5,000 or even 10,000 people, it will be useless. The ship in your hand can only carry 300 people at most.

What are the remaining thousands of people for? Standing on the shore as cheerleaders?

In this way, the relevant work was quickly carried out.

This was the first time that their Great Zhou formed a navy. The original soldiers basically had no foundation in this regard. Only a few soldiers who were originally fishermen and engaged in fishing-related work were able to swim and work on the ship.

Needless to say, these soldiers were directly recruited, and they can now be regarded as the elite of the navy.

The remaining soldiers, as long as they meet the two requirements of not being seasick and having good balance, can join the team.

Whether they can swim or not is secondary, after all, swimming can be learned.

But seasickness, a physiological problem, is a major drawback for naval soldiers who need to stay on the ship for a long time.

The first batch of naval soldiers, 300 places, were quickly filled.

At that time, the ship had not been built yet.

However, Bai Tu, who had the training plan sent by Zhou Xu, was not panicked at all.

If there is no ship, then practice swimming and balance first.

Swimming was practiced directly in the sea, and balance was practiced by simply making a single-plank bridge at first. Later, after the equipment department learned about the situation here, they made a two-wheeled wooden cart for them.

Because the wooden cart only has two wheels, if the center of gravity is unstable and the balance is not good when standing on it, it will sway left and right and fall down immediately.

Surprisingly, it is a good equipment for training balance.

After the first ship was built, they immediately added sea training for driving the ship to their daily training.

Now, three ships, one large and two small, are training in the offshore area, and the scene is really like a real one.

On this day, their Great Zhou Navy carried out training in the offshore area as usual.

At this moment, on the sea surface in the distance, a ship about 30 meters long broke into their field of vision!
