"That's right, it didn't take a month! We didn't spend a month to get here!!"
"What? You didn't even spend a month? Is that true or false??"
"What we said is true! This ship was also made by His Highness the Crown Prince using his newly developed steam engine, which is why its speed is so fast!!"
"Steam engine??"
"You wouldn't understand such a thing even if we explained it, and even we don't fully understand it. You just need to know that it can make the ship's speed very fast!!"
Hearing this, the soldiers were somewhat reassured.
At the same time, they were filled with curiosity about the existence of the steam engine.
They wanted to know what kind of steam engine it was that allowed them to return to Great Qin so quickly.
But no matter what, returning to Great Qin within a month was a joyous occasion for each of them.
Therefore, other generals happily said:
"Since it was created by His Highness the Crown Prince, I believe it!!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince possesses boundless divine power. What others cannot do does not mean His Highness the Crown Prince cannot do it!!"
"So, after we hand over our tasks, we will immediately return to Great Qin!!"
If it weren't for the need to hand over tasks, these soldiers would have boarded the ship immediately!
Each of them was eager to go home.
However, they also noticed that Lin Tian had ordered them to bring fifty thousand slaves back to Great Qin.
Although this order surprised them greatly, they carried it out immediately.
Five days later, the mighty army boarded the ships and headed straight for Great Qin.
Among them, the Western slaves boarded a Great Qin ship for the first time.
Once on board, they were filled with curiosity about these ships.
On one hand, they were curious to know where they were going.
On the other hand, they were curious about the speed of the ships.
After boarding, they clearly felt that the ship's speed was incredibly fast, beyond their imagination.
They couldn't fathom how this was achieved.
"Is this a Great Qin ship? Their ships are so amazing!!"
"Such extreme speed is unprecedented. It seems Great Qin is not only powerful, but also extraordinary in other aspects!!"
"Are we going into Great Qin now? If so, that would be wonderful. I am also full of anticipation for Great Qin!!"
Because Great Qin was so powerful, many of them held great expectations for it.
However, they did not know that once they arrived in Great Qin, they would not become citizens of Great Qin.
They were going to Great Qin to build railways.
If they had known this, they would not have been as happy as they were now.
The ones who could truly be happy were probably the soldiers of Great Qin.
They had been away from Great Qin for too long, and now, being on the ship meant they were on their way home.
Under such circumstances, they were naturally overjoyed.
Especially after feeling the ship's speed, they were even happier.
"Hahaha! This speed is excellent, it's so fast! No wonder our comrades said we wouldn't need a month to return to Great Qin. With this speed, it truly doesn't take a month!!"
"Indeed, I never expected the speed of our Great Qin ships to be this fast. It's truly astonishing!!"
"The faster the better. The faster we go, the sooner we can return to Great Qin!!"
These soldiers were filled with anticipation for their return to Great Qin.
Now, under such extreme speed, their longing for home was even greater.
During this journey, they also noticed many ships on the sea that seemed to want to follow their ship.
It seemed they had some unfriendly intentions towards their ship.
However, those ships were too slow, unable to catch up to the Great Qin ship, and could only watch as the Great Qin ship sailed away.
Compared to the Great Qin ship, their ships were not in the same league.
More importantly, despite the Great Qin ship's incredible speed, it was remarkably stable.
This stability allowed them to respond to any unforeseen circumstances at any time.
It also allowed them to admire the coastal scenery while on board.
These were things the soldiers had never imagined before.
Especially compared to the journey they had taken to get here, the journey back was incredibly easy.
Many on board could hardly believe that they were rapidly heading back towards Great Qin.
Therefore, someone asked:
"Are we really returning to Great Qin now??"
"Yes, we are returning to Great Qin. This ship is the same one that the Great Qin soldiers used before!!"
"Oh, oh! I still feel like the way back is different from the way we came!!"
The different method made many uneasy.
Many even worried that they might not be able to return to Great Qin at all.
And as the worried people increased, a sense of unease naturally spread.
Fortunately, the ship was not under their control, so even though they worried, the ship continued its course towards Great Qin.
Their worries, however, lasted for more than twenty days before they completely disappeared.
Because they discovered that they had reached the border of Great Qin.
Although this was not where their ship would dock, they could already see the familiar Great Qin.
This discovery made each of them incredibly excited.
"We're back, we're back!!"
"That's great, truly great, we're really back!!"
"After being away for so long, we're finally back. The feeling of returning to Great Qin is simply wonderful!!"
Many of them wept tears of joy upon returning to Great Qin.
All their previous worries vanished at this moment.
Seeing Great Qin, a sense of familiarity instantly spread throughout their bodies. They were absolutely certain that this was the place they had longed for day and night.
Because of this, many of them let out shouts of jubilation.
If their ship had not yet stopped, and had not yet reached its designated location.
They would have jumped off the ship immediately and swum back to Great Qin.
And their cheers naturally reached the ears of the slaves.
Just by listening to their cheers, they immediately understood that they had arrived in Great Qin.
Arriving in Great Qin in such a short period of time filled them with even more anticipation for the land.
