Chapter 1033 An enormous iron ship!
Chapter 1033 An enormous iron ship!
"A deity?" Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow. Since everyone calls him a deity, then so be it! A sly smile played on her lips as she casually continued her fabrication, "I don't know, but maybe he really is a deity!"
She couldn't possibly tell them that she brought these things, that she herself had traveled from a thousand years in the future, could she? How heartbroken would the original owner's family be?
Then she changed the subject, looking at Ouyang Yunxiang, "Second Brother, would you be willing to learn the Lopa language?"
"Roba language? Is that what those blond men from foreign lands speak?" Ouyang Yunxiang was full of doubt and puzzled. "What's the use of learning this? Will they come to our Western Chu Kingdom often?" He thought to himself, since these people are not from their continent, they won't come often, so learning it is probably useless.
Ouyang Yunyao nodded. "Hmm! It's their language!" She continued, "Once we learn their language, we can do business with them when they come."
"Since they are so far away from our mainland, would they still come to do business with us?" Ouyang Yunxiang asked with some disbelief.
“If they won’t do business with us, we can go to them! We can even go to the continent of Loba to have some fun. How can we have fun or do business if we don’t know their language?” Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows and looked at him as she asked.
Ouyang Yunxiang was stunned. Wait! How could they go so far away? He frowned, looking at Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing.
“Little sister, Prince Jing,” Ouyang Yunxiang frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, “They say they come from such a faraway place, do you really believe them? Their ships would have to travel on the sea for months, and there are often hurricanes on the sea. Wouldn’t their ships have been torn apart long ago? Anyway, he doesn’t believe it.”
Ouyang Yunyao hadn't expected her second brother to be so vigilant. Judging from the current situation on the Yuzhou continent, his assessment was correct. However, they didn't believe that the Yuzhou continent was constantly at war and therefore relatively underdeveloped.
“Second Brother is absolutely right. We can’t rule out the possibility that they’re hiding something.” She then added, “Ah Jing and I have also discussed this. When they set off, we’ll go and see their boat to find out.”
She didn't mention the changes to the images on the map in her space. There was already a map of the Luoba Continent on it. She guessed that besides the map of the Yuzhou Continent, her map would also show the continents of the people she came into contact with.
She couldn't possibly say that her judgment was based on her past life. But her second brother did remind them that they really needed to see their large ship with their own eyes.
"That's good." Ouyang Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Little sister, do you think we can go to the Luoba Continent?" But then the light in his eyes dimmed again. "But how will we get there?"
"There's definitely a chance!" Ouyang Yunyao thought about the warships, patrol boats, and submarines in her space, and wondered if it was possible to make copies of these ships. She was now ready to give it a try.
Thinking of this, she added, "If it is true, as they say, that their country is indeed on the continent of Loba on the other side of the sea, then we can go there."
"But our Western Chu Kingdom doesn't have any sturdy ships! How can we get there?" Ouyang Yunxiang said without much hope.
Chu Chenjing remembered what Ouyang Yunyao had said about planes being able to fly over there. He was about to say something when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and the image of the large ship moored in the lake in Ouyang Yunyao's space appeared in his mind.
That ship was enormous; Yao Yao had taken him aboard before. It wasn't made of wood or pure iron, but of steel, a material much stronger thousands of years later.
That big ship was five or six times the size of the largest wooden ship in their Western Chu Kingdom. Yao Yao had told him that this big ship was very stable when sailing at sea and was not afraid of hurricanes.
Thinking of this, he stopped talking, but a smile played on his lips as he quietly looked at Ouyang Yunyao.
Ouyang Yunyao was unaware of Chu Chenjing's thoughts. If she knew that he had thought of the most advanced warship of the 23rd century in her space, she would definitely snort smugly. Of course, that was the most advanced warship of the 23rd century!
Seeing her second brother's disappointed look, Ouyang Yunyao chuckled, "Second brother, why are you more worried than those ministers?"
"How can I not be worried?" Ouyang Yunxiang sighed, his tone heavy. "The Northern Yue Kingdom and the Southern Chu Kingdom have just made peace with our Western Chu Kingdom, and my parents can finally return to the capital in peace and the family can be reunited. If another powerful foreign force emerges, I'm afraid our Western Chu Kingdom will not be at peace again!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao couldn't help but think more highly of her second brother. It turned out that he wasn't just focused on making money; he also cared about his country and his parents. She had underestimated him.
"Second Brother, you can rest assured! I have a huge iron ship in my Qiankun bag! It can sail fast and steadily at sea, and is more than enough to handle the wind and waves."
"Little sister, are you telling the truth?" Ouyang Yunxiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "I've been inside the Qiankun Bag a few times before, how come I've never seen it before?"
"Perhaps you didn't notice," Ouyang Yunyao said vaguely, though she had actually sealed off that area on purpose. "When you learn to fly a plane in a few days, I'll take you to see it in my Qiankun bag."
Ouyang Yunxiang nodded excitedly, then, remembering something, quickly said, "Little sister, I want to learn that...that Luoba language too!"
"Okay! I'll give you the study materials after lunch!"
As soon as Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the door, and her eldest brother Ouyang Yunyu and fourth brother Ouyang Yunhai walked in together.
After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, her fourth brother, Ouyang Yunhai, eagerly looked at Ouyang Yunyao and asked, "Little sister, what good things are you going to give your second brother? Is there any for me?"
"Nothing special, just study materials for learning the Lopa language. Do you want it?" Ouyang Yunyao teased him with a smile.
"Is that the language those blond men were speaking? It's all over the capital today, everyone's saying my little sister is fluent in a foreign language, that's amazing! I'm so proud of myself! Little sister, I want to learn too!"
“Little sister, your big brother will learn too,” Ouyang Yunyu added.
"Big brother, you've all done the best. I'll give you the study materials after lunch." Seeing that her eldest and fourth brothers had returned from their shifts and guessing that it would be lunchtime soon, Ouyang Yunyao said to them, "Big brother, A-Jing, you two chat first. I'll go fetch Grandmother."
After saying that, she led Xiao Cui and Xia Fei toward her grandmother's Xiangfu Courtyard.
As the three of them approached the moon gate in the backyard, they saw her second aunt supporting her grandmother, chatting and laughing as they walked towards them.
