Lin Xianzong stood on the Yong boat and was also making preparations for the voyage.

The craftsmen on the shore are calibrating the hourglass. This time is not only a navigation test, but also a measurement of the speed. The accurate detonation time must be reserved according to the speed of the ship, so that the blasting ship can return to its maximum power.

There was a sound of gunfire, and both Su Ze and Lin Xianzong pulled up the sails.

The large horizontal sail was raised, and the jib of the mast was also opened. As the sail was opened, the "clipper ship" that was originally floating and swaying on the sea gradually began to accelerate.

The Yongzhou boat built by Lin Xianzong spread its sails like bamboo curtains smoothly, and the Yongchuan sailed to the open sea with the wind.

But at this time, all the eyes of people on the shore were attracted by Su Ze's clipper boat.

After sailing, the ship actually showed surprising stability. The high-pitched bow just broke through the waves. The sharp-bottomed cabin hidden under the water had little draft and received very little seawater resistance.

Like a riding bicycle, driven by the full sail of the wind, the clipper boat sailed smoothly on the sea, far surpassing Lin Xianzong's Yong boat.

Lin Mojun also stood up. The ship built by Su Ze was faster than Changningwei's lucky ship and sailed very smoothly.

Captain Alfonso was even more shocked. He had never seen a ship with such speed in Europe. Captain Alfonso often traveled on the sea and knew the significance of such speed.

Time is money at sea, and such fast ships can deliver messages between ports and transport urgent cargo.

Although Su Ze said that the load capacity of this kind of clipper ship is not large, it is not fast enough!

Moreover, precious tea leaves, spices and silk are not heavy in themselves. If we can build larger flying shear merchant ships, how much money can be made!

Compared to Captain Alfonso's optimism, Su Ze, who was panicking about the sails, knew that this ship was far from being a clipper ship.

The sailing speed of a real clipper ship can reach ten knots, but the speed of my own ship is far from that.

What I built myself can only be regarded as a merchant ship similar to the principle of a clipper ship, and it is also a one-time use.

Because the draft is shallow, the ship will rise into the air when encountering wind and waves. This short-term rise will put huge pressure on the bottom of the ship. Su Ze has already heard the sound of the wooden planks at the bottom of the cabin being overwhelmed. If it sails like this for half an hour, the ship will

It will fall apart.

A real flying shear boat requires high-quality wood as the keel and steel structure reinforcement.

Moreover, the sails of my own ship are not the sails of a clipper ship. A clipper ship requires a large number of complicated sails, so this ship of my own can only be regarded as a poor imitation.

But it is enough for use. It is a one-time blasting ship and does not need to sail for a long time.

As a front wave rushed over, Su Ze's clipper boat took off and flew through a perfect curve in the air.

The waves flew past Su Ze, and the feeling of flying and stalling was really exciting.

When the clipper boat landed back on the sea, cheers came from the dock. Su Ze looked back and saw that he had reached the end of the race.

Retracting the sails, Su Ze adjusted the bow of the boat and returned to the destination.

The shipwrights on the dock enthusiastically congratulated Su Ze, while the stubborn Lin Xianzong also lowered his head.

Su Ze said to Lin Xianzong: "Uncle Xianzong, my ship cannot sail far. In the future, if we want to build a high-speed ship that can truly transport cargo, we will have to rely on you."

Lin Xianzong raised his head and said: "Don't worry, Azze! I will study it carefully!"

Captain Alfonso also came over and said: "Su, your boat is really great! I have never seen a boat sail so fast!"

"You must give it a nice name. This ship will definitely stay in the history of shipbuilding!"

Su Ze looked at the clipper boat on the shore and said with a smile: "Then let's call it Flying Dutchman."
