"Power outage? Really?" Da Tian Tian asked skeptically.

What a coincidence! How did the power go out?
“Sweetie, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask the property management. Sister Li’s house really didn’t have any lights on that night, they definitely know that.”

Cheng Sheng said firmly.

Anyway, he wasn't wrong. Zeng Li was at home that night. Why would she turn on the lights if no one was home?

As for asking the property management, what can they possibly say?
The property management probably doesn't know whether Zeng Li's house had a power outage that night.

"I'll believe you for now, but if you lie to me, I'll bite you to death when we get back," Da Tiantian said fiercely.

"Bite? Bite where? Do you want me to 'bite' my hardest spot?" Cheng Sheng teased Da Tian Tian.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Da Tian Tian's face.

The hardest part.

and many more.

not……

"You damn Cheng Sheng, you bad guy, I never thought you were this kind of person," Da Tian Tian said, blushing.

"What are you thinking? The hardest thing I'm talking about is bone."

"It's all your fault."

Anyway, Da Tiantian refused to admit that she had misunderstood, and instead shifted the blame to Cheng Sheng.

The two talked on the phone for almost an hour before Cheng Sheng hung up. He then held the nearly finished script, feeling extremely excited.

After writing for over a month, the script is finally almost finished.

With this in mind, Cheng Sheng picked up his pen, intending to work overtime tonight and finish the script before tomorrow.

Swish swish!
The pen tip moves quickly across the paper, and words appear one by one.

Time slowly passed.

what!
After uttering the last word, Cheng Sheng stood up, raised his hands, and stretched.

clap clap clap!
His bones cracked and popped.

This is caused by sitting for too long, which makes the body a bit stiff.

Looking at the completed script, Cheng Sheng felt no fatigue, but rather full of energy.

"I hope the simulation panel will give me a surprise," Cheng Sheng murmured happily, holding the script.

Cheng Sheng quickly summoned the simulation panel, and then the script in his hand suddenly disappeared.

A short while later, a new script appeared.

In addition, there was a stack of design drawings.

Cheng Sheng was completely stunned when he saw this.

"This...this thing is..."

Looking at the stack of design drawings, Cheng Sheng was extremely excited.

Although he wasn't a professional, he could still tell what it was from this stack of design drawings.

ship.

Fujian ship.

This is the complete design blueprint for the Daimyo Fukushima ship.

It's important to know that with modern industry, it's possible to build Fujian-style ships, but there are differences between modern Fujian-style ships and those from the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records, the Fujian ships of the Ming Dynasty were comparable to modern aircraft carriers.

The Ming Dynasty was a peak period for shipbuilding in China, and many historical records document the history of the Ming government building warships to bolster its military.

After the Ming Dynasty implemented the maritime ban policy, it established tributary relations with neighboring countries. In addition, the constant harassment of coastal areas by Japanese pirates increased the Ming government's demand for ships, and it began to build a large number of merchant ships and warships.

Besides the older tower ships, sea hawks, and small boats, there were also Jiujiang-style sentry boats and rowboats. There were more than twenty types of warships at that time, among which the famous warships were mostly Fujian-style ships.

The Fujian ship is an excellent ship type in ancient China, also known as the "large Fujian ship".

It is a pointed-bottom seagoing vessel, known for sailing in the South Pacific and the open seas.

The Fujian-style ship was as tall as a building, with a pointed bottom and a wide top, and its bow and stern were raised high, with protective panels on both sides.

The ship has four decks. The bottom deck is filled with soil and stones to ballast the ship and enhance its stability, just like building a house with a foundation to stabilize it.

The second floor mainly consists of living quarters where soldiers and crew members live, and the cabins are equipped with many windows.

The third deck is the main operating area, with two separate cabins: the forward cabin, which is not decked out, houses the galley and water storage tanks; the rear cabin is divided into four compartments for storing cargo.

The fourth level was the battlefield, where soldiers, positioned on high ground, could shoot arrows and cannons at enemy ships, and throw halberds, spears, stone tools, and oil mines.

The ships used by Zheng He's fleet were mainly treasure ships, which were large Fujian-style ships.

Historical records state that Zheng He had "sixty-two treasure ships, the largest of which was forty-four zhang long and eighteen zhang wide."

Converted to modern dimensions, it is 125.65 meters long and 50.94 meters wide.

According to relevant experts, Zheng He's treasure ships had a displacement of over 10,000 tons, roughly equivalent to a small aircraft carrier.

The Fujian ships built today are no match for those of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong's fleet that recovered Taiwan was known to the Dutch as "junks," which were actually a type of "Fujian ships." Its flagship warships were "three-masted gunboats," which could reach 80 meters in length, with masts 4 zhang high. They had five decks, were equipped with 50 cannons of various types, and could carry more than 400 combat personnel. At that time, they were considered behemoths in the East Asian seas, comparable to the "sandwich warships" of the Dutch East India Company.

It's not that modern people don't want to replicate Fujian ships, but because a fire destroyed all the records of Fujian ships, it's unlikely that they can replicate Ming Dynasty Fujian ships based on scattered historical records.

But now that we have the design blueprints for this Fujian ship, there is no problem at all in building a Fujian ship exactly the same as the one from the Ming Dynasty.

If this were given to a museum, it would definitely cause a nationwide sensation.

This thing is just as valuable as the "Qin King's Battle Song".

Suppressing his excitement, Cheng Sheng looked away from the Fujian ship design drawings and opened the script provided by the simulation panel.

However, Cheng Sheng did not watch it immediately. Instead, he put the script aside, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and cleared his head.

He then went back to his bedroom and lay down on the bed.

Not long after, Cheng Sheng fell asleep.

Although he really wanted to read the script, he knew he was mentally exhausted and needed to sleep to recover, otherwise his body would suffer.

I slept for about six hours.

Cheng Sheng finally woke up, his spirits lifted, and his previous fatigue gone.

I washed my face again, then boiled some water and made myself a cup of noodles.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Sheng went to his study and looked at the script and the Fujian ship design drawings on his desk. He couldn't help but feel excited.

He walked to the desk, sat down, picked up the script, and slowly opened it.

The scenario provided by the simulation panel is perfect.

The text begins by recounting Zheng He's background and the context of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

There is also how Zheng He followed Zhu Di to overthrow Zhu Yunwen's rule.

Zheng He was originally a military officer under Zhu Di. He entered the Prince of Yan's mansion at the age of ten to follow Zhu Di.

Later, Zhu Di raised an army to fight against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, which was known in the Ming Dynasty as the "Jingnan Campaign".

Zheng He led troops to relieve Zhu Di's worries on many occasions and made great achievements at that time.

This is why Zheng He later won Zhu Di's favor.

Because the script mainly tells the story of Zheng He, these details are not described in much detail and are used as background information.

The script then gets to the main point. (End of Chapter)
