Chen Xi said nothing more; the Lu family's gift was, in effect, supposed to be the design of a warship for Xu Sheng. Of course, if it weren't for Xu Sheng, the first warship would naturally be given to Gan Ning. After all, once the shipyard was established in Donglai, Liu Bei's policies would favor them.
The first ship, naturally, served as a trial model. Liu Bei's side would provide the materials, and besides the Lu family getting practice, there was also an implication of reciprocating favors. After all, during this period, only a handful of families possessed the core technology for shipbuilding, monopolizing the key craftsmen. The Lu family was indispensable. The first ship was meant to show other Feudal Lords that the Lu family was not to be trifled with!
