At that time, the fleet that sailed westward was composed of ships of various models and sizes.
Dozens upon dozens of ships.
The largest of these ships was 148 meters long, 60 meters wide, and had a displacement exceeding 10,000 tons. It was the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at the time. The ship had four decks, nine masts that could hold twelve sails, and anchors weighing several thousand kilograms; it required 200 to 300 people to set sail.
Such a massive fleet was absolutely unique in the world at that time.
It is said that its scale was a hundred times that of Columbus's fleet!
Moreover, Columbus's voyage took place nearly 80 to 90 years later than Zheng He's.
At that time, our shipbuilding craftsmanship and technological level were absolutely top tier in the world.
From this, one can see just how powerful the manufacturing capabilities were at that time, truly astonishing to the world.
