Throne of Vientiane Civilization

At the same time, on an island far from the mainland...

"What? You found ships in the offshore area? And there are three ships?!"

While speaking, the figure behind the curtain could no longer sit still, and walked out quickly with a sound of "dong dong dong dong".

It was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow-sallow imperial robe and an exaggerated long crown on his head.

Looking at the figure that suddenly rushed out, the man kneeling outside immediately lowered his head.

"Hey! Emperor, we found three ships in the offshore area. We dare not approach easily. At the same time, the distance is too far, and we can't judge the size of the opposite ship. We can only see that there are two small and one large."

Hearing this, the man called the emperor's face suddenly became uncertain.

[Those damn rats should not have the ability to build ships...]

[Could it be that other forces defeated the rat people and occupied there? ]

Thinking of this, the emperor's face suddenly became uglier.

He knew the terror of the rat man very well, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to abandon the capital on the mainland and take his troops to the island by boat.

Under this premise, if the rat man was killed, wouldn't it mean that the new force is more terrifying than the rat man? !

When he thought of this, the emperor suddenly felt his heart tremble.

After abandoning the capital and escaping to this island, he worked hard for several years to find an opportunity to take back the capital from the rat man.

As a result, who would have thought that this plan could not keep up with the rapid changes!

Just facing the rat man, he was under great psychological pressure. If the new force that appeared on the mainland was even more powerful than the previous rat man.

Then he really didn't know what to do.

[If I had known this earlier, I might as well not send a ship over! ]

When he thought of this, the emperor regretted it.

If he hadn't sent a ship over, the other party would at least not know their existence, and life would obviously be much more stable.

And now, the other side has discovered their existence.

How many peaceful days are left? No one can guarantee it.

However, the emperor obviously knows that it is not a solution to continue to be so irritable.

Considering the existence of this enemy, he must prepare for the worst.

"Send the order and start building ships with all our strength! At least in terms of the number of ships, we have to catch up with the other side, or even surpass it!"

At this moment, the emperor's idea is very simple.

Although the rat people also have excellent swimming ability, their core combat power is still concentrated on land, mainly in land warfare.

The unknown force can destroy the rat people on land, which is enough to prove the strength of the other side's land warfare.

This alone has made him lose the idea of ​​fighting a land battle with the other side.

Under this premise, if they want to win, there is only one way left, that is, to move the battlefield to the sea and fight a naval battle with the other side!

They were a coastal country before, and they have become an island country in recent years. When it comes to naval warfare, they still have some confidence.

It's just that before facing the rat people, there was basically no battle at sea.

In fact, they fled quickly, and with the protection of the capital, the rats on the other side might not have noticed that they had escaped by boat.

So they really didn't have any warships.

The ships they had were mainly fishing boats.

But in this era, if you want to say that there is a big difference between fishing boats and warships, it's not really that big.

By remodeling the original fishing boats, they were able to make a lot of warships in a short time.

In this way, they began to focus on modifying the ships, and in the following period of time, they really didn't show up in the offshore area.

At the same time, the relevant reports were also delivered to Zhou Xu at the fastest speed.

"A strange sea ship of 30 meters..."

"A white flag with a red group?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xu blinked.

[According to the description of this flag in the battle report, is it the national flag of Japan? ]

After all, it is difficult to find a second flag like this in the original world.

In this world, time travelers are not rare, but if the other side is really a time traveler from Japan, then it is the first time he has met a time traveler from another country besides China.

As a serious Chinese, Zhou Xu obviously does not think that the Japanese on the other side will live in peace with him.

Before this, his main purpose has always been "I will not offend others if the enemy does not offend me!"

But this time, he changed his mind and planned to take the initiative to attack!

Of course, it does not mean that he will rush forward stupidly now.

They are not clear about the specific strength of the other side at this moment, and it is risky to attack rashly.

What they need to do now is to quickly build more warships! Expand the size of the naval forces and conduct more training to enhance the strength of their Great Zhou Navy!

By the way, some related equipment must also be quickly configured.

"I never thought that this newly made thing would be put to use so soon."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu looked down at the gadget on his desk. It was a small round plate with a small needle with two pointed ends on it. One end of the needle was dyed red and the other end was dyed blue.

Needless to say, this is the compass that the equipment department has just made.

After all, if you want to determine the direction at sea, the compass is a necessary equipment.

It can be successfully made now, thanks to Zhang Xuemei's discovery of a vein with natural magnets near the ruins of the city in the southern border.

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu spread out a blank piece of animal skin paper and began to write orders quickly, and then asked the messenger to take the order and send it to the southern border with the compass.

However, it is still a long way from Black Moon City to the southern border. The season has also changed from spring to late summer.

In fact, even if Zhou Xu didn't say it, the shipbuilding work at the Harbor Shipyard was still going on.

It's just that once Zhou Xu's order came, the content of the shipbuilding changed.

Zhou Xu's latest request is to build more speedboats! Build them according to the standard of one large ship with six speedboats!

This order was first sent to Bai Tu and Soros.

At first they really didn't understand, but their majesty wrote the reason at the end.

It was clearly written at the back...

"The ships on the other side are only 30 meters in length. The supplies that ships of this specification can carry are limited. With only ships of this specification, they can reach our offshore area, which means that the other side's departure point will definitely not be too far away from us."

"Therefore, we don't need too many large ships to ensure our long-distance sailing capabilities. Increasing the proportion of fast ships will make us more flexible and agile in the naval battles that may occur next."

After reading it, Bai Tu and Soros both suddenly realized it!

From the specifications of the ships on the other side, the amount of supplies carried by the other side can be inferred, and then the distance between the other side and them can be inferred.

This is really a thinking angle they have never thought of before!

"Your majesty is worthy of it!"
