Back in the bridal chamber, Princess Kunxing woke up, and Zhao Peng took the opportunity to take action...

The next morning, Fei Zhen'e came to the room and took away the white cloth that Princess Kunxing had matted on the bed sheet. The blood on the white cloth was clearly visible. Then she went to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast came, Princess Kunxing greeted Fei Zhen'e who was standing there to serve the couple: "Miss Fei, you can sit down and eat together."

"No, you are the master, I am the slave. There is a difference between the master and the servant. How can I sit at the same table with the master?" Fei Zhen'e waved her hands and refused.

"Miss Fei, we are like sisters. When we were in the palace, we often sat together for dinner?" Princess Kunxing smiled and pulled Fei Zhen'e's hand and asked her to sit down.

Fei Zhen'e sat down, picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. She suddenly felt nauseous. She quickly put down the fried dough stick and rushed outside like flying. She stood by the flowerbed, lowered her head, and retching at the flowerbed.

"Miss Fei, what's wrong with you?" Princess Kunxing rushed out from behind.

Fei Zhen'e blushed like a quick red cloth: "Your Highness, Princess, I, I may have..."

"This is a good thing," Princess Kunxing said with a smile, "We Zhao Lang have a descendant. If you have a child, I will be a mother too."

Because Fei Zhen'e is a dowry maid and has a lower status than a concubine, she cannot call her mother the child she gave birth to. She must call Princess Kunxing the mother, but can only call her aunt. So when Fei Zhen'e has a child, it is equivalent to Princess Kunxing the mother the mother.

Zhao Peng hurriedly finished breakfast in the house. Seeing Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e walking in hand in hand, he asked, "What are you doing? You don't eat breakfast, why are you going to the garden outside?"

Princess Kunxing smiled and said, "Zhao Lang, congratulations, you are going to be a father."

"Ah?" Zhao Peng was shocked, "No way? So fast? We only had a few hours, so soon?"

Princess Kunxing had a pretty face: "What are you talking about? It's not me, it's her." She pointed at Fei Zhen'e.

Zhao Peng hurriedly hugged Fei Zhen'e: "Miss Fei, you can't work like this in the future. Just call a few maids to serve you. You can raise your baby well and give birth to my first child."

"Yes," Fei Zhen'e nodded with a blushing face.

After using breakfast, Zhao Peng hurried to the shipyard. For the past few days, he had not been to the shipyard for several days. He had to rush over to see how the large flying scissors were progressing.

When we arrived at the shipyard, we saw that the ship had been launched. The large unfinished clipper was moored at the dock, and workers were busy lifting cannons on the ship.

Seeing Zhao Peng coming, Wang Xin stepped forward and said, "Marty, the ship's naval guns have been cast and are being hoisted."

This large flying scissor ship is equipped with a total of 88 naval guns, of which fifty-six twenty-four-pound long-barrel cannons are the heaviest cannons. These cannons are all iron cannons, with a caliber of 24-pound cannons of 140 mm, a barrel length of three meters, and a barrel weight of 4,800 kilograms. One cannon requires six gunners to operate.

In Nanjing in May of the lunar calendar, the sun is scorching. Although it is a Little Ice Age, the summer in Jiangnan is hard to bear. The workers sweat and work hard.

Zhao Peng asked: "How are the workers working in such a hot day?"

Wang Xin replied: "After working all day, I felt like I was fished out of water, and my clothes were soaked."

A worker pulled the winch and hung the cannon frame weighing 1,000 kilograms above the fly scissors, slowly moved the crane arm, moved the pulley set with the cannon hanging above the hatch, then shook the winch and put the cannon frame down.

After a pair of gun mounts were hoisted into the artillery deck, the workers turned the boom and turned the winch back, then slowly lowered the pulley set and landed on the ground.

Then thirty workers struggled to lift the gun barrel on the ground, put the cable on the gun barrel, and then tied it firmly to ensure that the gun barrel would not fall during the lifting process. After binding the gun barrel, the workers shook their rocker arms, and the pulley set slowly rose, and took the heavy gun barrel off the ground, one of them reached a height of six meters in the air, and then slowly moved the boom and sent the gun barrel to the top of the hatch.

The worker shook the handle, slowly lowered the gun barrel, and hung it into the cabin.

"Building this big ship is much more difficult than building three small ships." Wang Xin sighed.

The construction of a 1,500-ton ship is much larger than that of three 500-ton ships, and it can be said that it has more than doubled. When Zhao Peng built the 500-ton Princess Kunxing last year, he used 200 workers, which took three months. The construction of this ship used more than 600 workers, and it has been eight months since it was built, and it is expected to take one year to complete.

Although the ship has been launched, the ship launched does not mean that it has been completed. Because the ship is too large, many projects require the ship to be launched and then built on the hull.

The only thing that is launched is the hull. Now we have to start lifting the cannons. After the cannons in the artillery deck are lifted, we must start laying the upper deck and building the helm. After the upper deck is completed, we must also lift the short-barrel cannons.

After all the artillery is in place, the masts must be built, the sails are laid, and the pulley sets are assembled on the masts. After all these are completed, the ship must be decorated in the end.

The barrel of the first twenty-four-pound naval gun was hoisted into the cabin. The workers put the barrel on the gun stand and then tried to push the cart of the four-wheel gun stand. The cannon moved back and forth freely. When retreating to the bottom and moving to the bottom, the wheel of the gun stand will automatically slid. When the cannon is fired, the powerful recoil will automatically push a switch, causing the cart to move backwards on the guide rail, move to the end, and get stuck in the groove at the end. After loading the shells, the gunner will pull a handle and the cart will automatically slide forward. When the front top, the wheel of the gun stand will be stuck in the groove.

"Come on, everyone, take a break and drink ice water." Wang Xin shouted loudly.

These ice waters are made of ice cubes. In the winter of the Little Ice Age, Nanjing was very cold and there was a thin layer of ice on the lake. However, such thin ice is definitely not enough, so someone in the shipyard specially made ice in winter.

In winter, workers pour cold boiled water into the ice making pond, spread a thin layer on the bottom of the pond, and put it outside for one night, and it will all freeze. The next evening, pour a layer of boiled water on the ice layer, and it will freeze again in the morning. In this way, a huge piece of ice can be made after several consecutive days.

In one winter, more than 300 large ice cubes can be made, each of which weighs 800 kilograms.

The prepared ice cubes are sent into the underground ice cellar and sealed on it. The ice cubes are placed in the underground ice cellar and can be stored until summer will not melt. When it is time to use it in summer, open the cover of the ice cellar and take out the ice cubes.

The hotheads in the shipyard had already boiled sour plum soup and mung bean soup, put it into a wooden barrel, and then put the chopped ice cubes into the wooden barrel, thus obtaining sour plum soup with sour and sour plum soup and ice mung bean soup that cools down the heat.
