"Among all the nations, perhaps only my Great Liang Empire can be so arrogant."
"With the entire continent in our hands, building warships is a piece of cake. Moreover, with the technical support of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, our warships will always be kept in the most advanced state."
"It's time to let the Moses Empire know our power, to let them know who the true ruler of this world is, otherwise they'll really think they're something special."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Great Liang Empire was a highly centralized state, and once His Majesty gave the order, no one dared to be careless.
At this speed, building warships is incredibly easy; as long as there are enough resources, warships can be produced indefinitely.
Everyone was extremely displeased with the previous assassination attempt by the Moses Empire. Although the other side had not gained any advantage and had been completely wiped out, their intentions alone were enough to warrant the death penalty.
"Good!"
Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. This was truly the super productivity of the Great Liang Empire!
Once the state apparatus of this country starts running, it will unleash a terrifying power that no other country can match.
Because the Great Liang was a unified country, encompassing the entire continent, it possessed abundant resources such as minerals, materials, and talent. Under these circumstances, its technological development and other aspects progressed by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, with Ma Jun and his team putting all their efforts into its development, the steam-powered warships have begun their final testing. Once completed, they will directly change the course of the situation.
By then, the Moses Empire and the Xinma Empire will all be annihilated.
Compared to steam-powered ships, the original ships were utterly outclassed and completely outmatched.
With that powerful engine, a large amount of manpower was freed up, which increased the reserves of ammunition and various supplies, meaning that the warships of Great Liang would become even more powerful.
Given this disparity, for the enemy to still attempt a move would be tantamount to suicide.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but glance at Ma Jun beside him and asked with a smile, "Minister Ma, how are your steam-powered warships doing?"
"Your Majesty, we have completed the assembly of the first steam-powered warship, which will soon undergo sea trials. We hope Your Majesty can personally attend and witness this magnificent moment."
Ma Jun said confidently.
To be honest, he felt incredibly proud and a sense of mission to be a part of this grand occasion.
This will mark the beginning of one era and the end of another. The advent of steam-powered warships will inevitably be extraordinary, and will also bring an era to a close.
Therefore, such an opportunity must be witnessed by His Majesty the Emperor in person to be the greatest moment and to justify His Majesty's great sacrifice.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Excellent! Today, I, along with my ministers, will witness this magnificent moment and see the birth of this steam-powered warship."
With him, this era will truly come to an end; at the very least, the ocean will belong entirely to him.
This is by no means an exaggeration, because the power of steam-powered warships and their concept were far ahead of their time.
With its incredible speed and carrying capacity, it could easily outperform all other warships and completely dominate them.
Steam-powered warships.
The courtiers were in an uproar, their eyes filled with disbelief. Although they recognized the five characters, they had no idea what the concept of a steam engine was.
However, they did know that it could bring an era to an end, which greatly shocked them.
What a terrifying existence this would be! I never imagined I would have the chance to witness it.
Lin Yi glanced at Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice, " Zhao Gao, go and inform the Emperor Emeritus to have the older generation come over and witness this as well."
Furthermore, let the Empress and several imperial concubines go as well, so they can witness what true power is, and see what my Great Liang is all about."
This is the end of an era, and such an important moment couldn't be missed. If there were cameras available, he would have even wanted to take a picture.
The news spread quickly, alarming the entire Yong'an City. People flocked to the riverbank in the east of the city, eager to witness this momentous occasion.
"Have you heard? This warship is no ordinary vessel; it's made of iron."
"What? Iron can be used to make warships? Can they float?"
"Isn't that obvious? I already said it's a warship capable of ending an era. What kind of era would it be if it were made of wood?"
"This is truly something to look forward to! It's said that several high-ranking officials personally designed it, based on the Emperor's idea. The resulting super warship can take on dozens of enemies at once."
"Holy crap, that's amazing?"
The common people were dumbfounded, never expecting that this warship possessed such immense power; it was simply legendary and incredibly awesome.
If such warships were actually deployed, who could withstand them?
Some ordinary people couldn't help but look forward to the scene; it would be so spectacular that the enemy would probably be completely stunned.
Just then, the palace's professional ceremonial band suddenly began to play music. The music was high-pitched and stirring, making people's blood boil.
At that moment, they saw the emperor's imperial carriage, and the golden dragon banner instantly made them solemn, and they all knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
All the people cheered from the bottom of their hearts. It was this man who personally created this prosperous era, which amazed the world.
Now that His Majesty is about to lead us into a new era, it's truly something to look forward to.
In this way, the Great Liang will only become stronger, and no one in the All Under Heaven can threaten the Great Liang Empire anymore. What an exciting scene that will be!
Many elderly people from Northern Liang watched this scene with tears in their eyes; it was truly moving.
They had witnessed His Majesty's rise and glory, and now they were about to witness His Majesty create a new era, filling them with a complex mix of emotions.
"The All Under Heaven is so fortunate to have Your Majesty."
"I am Zhang Dongliang, a veteran of Northern Liang. Your Majesty, please remember me!"
"Your Majesty, you are our pride!"
The surrounding populace grew increasingly fanatical, causing many of the surrounding foreign tribes to tremble with fear. The scene was truly terrifying; what a horrifying existence a nation with such fanaticism must be.
Such people are fine as friends, but as enemies, they are absolutely terrifying and horrifying.
Princess Dada's expression was complicated, and she was filled with mixed feelings!
