Chapter 487

Huang Chengyan accepted the order happily.

This was not a difficult task to complete.

"In addition,"

At this time, Su Xuan spoke again: "I need you to build new-style shipyards in Dongting, Xiangyang, Jiangxia, and other places, and gradually upgrade the supporting industrial chains for me;"

"In the future, third-generation sea ship technology alone will not be enough to satisfy my future needs for sea ships and naval warfare;"

"So, lay out and prepare in advance!!"

"Lest we be in a panic and too busy to touch the ground when we need them in the future;"

"Preparing early will allow us to be more composed in the future."

"Of course, the most suitable place for the new-style shipyards I envision is actually in suitable coastal port areas;"

"Unfortunately, we don't have coastal territory for the time being;"

"Perhaps, after taking Jiaozhou and the Zhongnan Peninsula, we can find suitable places there to build new-style shipyards;"

"As for here, let's just use it to set an example, accumulate relevant experience, and at the same time, cultivate suitable talent!"

In the future, whether moving west to Southeast Asia, South Asia, or even Europe and Africa, or moving east to the Pacific to take North and South America, we will need more advanced ships and related navigation technology.

As for navigation technology, Su Xuan is not worried at all; he is a cheater, and he can fully recall relevant memories from his past life and then combine them with his heaven-defying comprehension to perfect or even upgrade them.

In fact, he has already done so; he has already perfected and created a complete set of navigation technology and technology like the sextant, and has even built some.

It's just that they haven't been needed before.

"Is that so? I understand! I will complete this matter well!"

Huang Chengyan knew some of Su Xuan's plans for the future, so naturally, he had no objections and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm! Work hard! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of merit for you!"

Su Xuan smiled and patted Huang Chengyan's shoulder.

It was thanks to recruiting Huang Chengyan back then that he also gained the support of the Huang family!

Otherwise, the development of the Ordnance Department and the Ministry of Works and the accumulation of technology over the years would not have been so smooth.

Of course, Huang Chengyan himself also enjoyed it.

It could be considered a win-win situation.

"By the way! Why haven't I seen that girl Yueying today? Doesn't she always like to stay by your side?"

Su Xuan looked around and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey! Don't mention it!"

Huang Chengyan said with a depressed face: "This girl recently said that my progress is too slow and she can't learn anything from me anymore, so she abandoned me and ran to learn from the old master! What an arrogant stinky girl!"

"If I didn't have to manage so many things most of the time, would I lose to her in research? It's simply nonsensical, humph!"

Clearly, Huang Chengyan was very angry about this, feeling that he, as a father, had no face.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan and Su Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Cousin, you are still angry with Yueying? By the way! How is the old man's health recently? I haven't seen him for several months."

"He's doing great!"

Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "With the divine techniques and cultivation resources you provided, I feel he is getting younger as he lives, and his lifespan has been extended quite a bit;"

"Plus, with so much technology and knowledge he is interested in to learn and research, he is living very comfortably every day;"

"If this continues, I feel it won't be a problem for him to live another few hundred years;"

"If you continue to research and develop, maybe one day he will achieve immortality with you!"

Speaking of this, Huang Chengyan only felt emotion and luck in his heart.

Emotion that Su Mu gave birth to a good son.

Emotion that their Huang family made the most correct choice back then.

Otherwise, how could they have today's achievements and glory?

"Haha! That's great!"

Su Xuan laughed heartily: "The old man is a tech geek, his brain is also very flexible, and his talent in technology is not low. There will be many places where he is needed in the future!"

"I can't bear to lose him; it's better for him to live."

In this day and age, it's not easy to find such a tech expert.

"Hehe! If the old man knew you said that, he would probably be very happy, right?"

Huang Chengyan smiled knowingly.

Next, after Su Xuan, Huang Chengyan, and Su Yu finalized the sea ship matter, they came to the Jiangling Navy and found Gan Ning, telling him about the naval fleet and the future attack on Jiaozhou and the Zhongnan Peninsula.

Then, he encouraged him: "The naval fleet will use the most advanced warships of our army and will be at the forefront of the battle;"

"To launch the first naval battle in history;"

"And for the main general of this fleet, I intend for it to be you and Zhou Tai. Next, it depends on the performance of you two in the next half year!"

"Whoever performs well will be the main general of the naval fleet in the future, understand?"

As for why Wen Pin was not chosen?

For one thing, Wen Pin is still needed to command the Xiangyang Navy here.

For another! Su Xuan still hopes to give young people more opportunities.

At the same time, Wen Pin is steady, but precisely because of this, he lacks a bit of vigor and the spirit of adventure.

The navy is in its infancy, and there is no precedent for naval warfare, so it is more in line with Su Xuan's wishes to have a young person with more drive and adventurous spirit serve as the naval commander.

"Understood!"

Gan Ning was excited and bowed: "This subordinate will definitely not fail the Lord's high expectations! I, Gan Ning, am determined to be the main general of this first naval fleet!"

"Haha! Very good!"

Su Xuan smiled and patted Gan Ning's shoulder: "That's the spirit of 'who else but me'! Then I will look at the performance of you and Zhou Tai! I hope you won't let me down!"

"Understood!"
