So he said smoothly without thinking: "It's okay, I didn't spend any money on this little thing. It was the loot I ransacked during the war."

When he said these words, the living room suddenly fell silent, with only a few children still chattering happily. However, Liang Haiyan said in surprise: "Okay! This thing stained with swordsmanship is a good thing, it can ward off evil spirits.

!”

When he said this, the cheerful atmosphere suddenly returned to the room. Then it was time to cut the cake. With the help of his mother, Yu Mo cut the cake into small pieces and gave each person a piece. The adults held it

The dishes gathered together to chat, leaving the children to make noises on their own.

Liang Haiyan ate the cake and asked in a low voice: "I said, you didn't pick that pendant from a dead person, right?"

Liu Pei stared and said, "You think I'm stupid! How could I give that kind of pendant to Yu Mo! It was after I finished the war. I found it in the box when I ransacked his house!"

Liang Haiyan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, that's good."

But at this time it was Liu Pei's turn to be surprised. Because he had made a mistake and told about the war. But except for a few guests who were surprised, the Liang family didn't seem surprised. So he asked in a low voice

: "You don't seem to be surprised that I'm fighting abroad. What's going on?"

Liang Haiyan smiled and told Liu Pei what he and Mr. Liang had analyzed. Afterwards, he had to say: "It doesn't matter. Those who came today are all old friends in the family. They won't talk nonsense."

Liu Pei nodded to express his understanding. But he thought to himself, well, this misunderstanding has become big. But it doesn't matter. With this misunderstanding existing, Liu Pei can't explain many things, so he might as well just admit it. And

It doesn't matter even if the news gets out, it will give me an extra layer of protection. Anyway, if I stay in the country honestly, the government will not deliberately deal with me.

While Liu Pei was thinking about it, Liang Haiyan asked: "I was embarrassed to ask you before, so I have always been curious. Now can you tell me about the war outside? Where do you usually hang out?"

Liu Pei thought for a while and made up a lie, then said: "I won't tell you about the war. It's bloody and boring. But we usually go to Southeast Asia or South America. There is a lot of work in these two places.

There’s also a lot of money.”

Liang Haiyan nodded matter-of-factly to show his understanding, and said: "It's true, these two places are either big drug lords or big warlords! There must be a lot of work! But I still advise you to quit early. Then we two brothers

Isn’t it great to do business?”

At this time, Liu Pei thought about what he was doing and how many subordinates and civilians were attached to him. He knew that he could only go on this road! If he quit, everything he had done in these years would be lost.

It’s all in vain. The strong historical inertia will erase all traces of his existence in the late Ming Dynasty, and the new

Return to the old road. At that time, countless lives will be swallowed up by the flames of war! So Liu Pei sighed and said with great vicissitudes: "There is no way to retreat!"

After hearing his vicissitudes of life, Liang Haiyan patted Liu Pei on the arm: "It doesn't matter. I have read a lot of books on mercenaries, so I understand what's going on. But remember, no matter when

, I always support you."

After everyone chatted for a while, the maid informed that the dinner was ready. So a group of people went to have dinner lively.

In the following days, the two swingers Liu Pei and Liang Haiyan were looking for fun everywhere, and they had a lot of fun. However, Liu Pei still insisted on riding horses every day. After all, he would need it when he returned to the Ming Dynasty. Liu Pei also found time to go there.

Factory Director Wang once looked at the samples.

Liu Pei was very satisfied with the armor that Director Wang tinkered with this time. The decorative lines on the surface of the armor were removed, and only the edges of the armor were slightly raised. The entire armor had been soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid, and the surface was dark. Hanging on

On the shelf, it looks very calm and domineering.

Moreover, Director Wang also asked Liu Pei an issue that Liu Pei ignored, that is, the caliber of the artillery.

You must know that it is impossible for a ship to be equipped with artillery of the same caliber. Taking the largest existing sailing battleship "Royal Victory" as an example, its artillery includes the gun deck: 32 pounds (14.51 kg), 30 2.75-ton long guns

; Center gun deck: 28 24-pound, 2.5-pound long guns; Upper gun deck: 30 12-pound, 1.7-ton short guns; Fore deck: 2 12-pound medium guns; 2 68-pound guns; rear deck

: 12 12-pound, 1.7-ton short guns. And in order to maintain the stability of the ship's hull, the guns with large calibers and large charges are installed on the bottom deck, and the calibers get smaller as they go up.

Only then did Liu Pei realize that he had made an extremely stupid mistake! But he didn't know what artillery was needed, so he had to quickly consult Professor Xiang Hou. Professor Hou then solved the problem by sending him a form on his mobile phone.

Liu Pei breathed a sigh of relief, but Coca-Cola was broken by Factory Manager Wang. You must know that the price of heavy guns is definitely much more expensive than the price of ordinary deck guns! The business of these 300 naval guns has increased in price due to the existence of heavy guns, which is equivalent to an extra 100 yuan out of thin air.

The price of the door cannon! This made Director Wang’s old face burst into laughter! In order to thank Director Wang for the reminder, Liu Pei happily paid all the money and urged Director Wang to seize the time to build the remaining armors.

The time soon came for Liu Pei to prepare to return. Liu Pei contacted Professor Hou and wanted to get the drawings and models of Western-style sailing battleships from him. Liu Pei discovered that the address given by Professor Hou was a small hotel.

When Liu Pei arrived, Professor Hou greeted him. Seeing Liu Pei's puzzled look, he said: "There is no way, the model you want takes a long time to make. So in order to rush the work, I had to call many friends.

Help. But when people came and there was no place to stay, I just rented it.

If you stay in this small hotel, you can stay and work at the same time."

Liu Pei nodded in realization and said, "This is a good idea and practical! But how is the model production going?"

Hou Jie said with a proud smile: "We have made all the models you want! But it took us a lot of effort! Fortunately, everyone is familiar with it, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to make it!"

As he said that, he led Liu Pei inside, opened a door, stood beside the door and said, "Please, this is a moment to witness a miracle!"

Liu Pei entered the door and found that everything in the room had been moved away. There were several simple shelves inside. There were many huge models on the shelves. These models were very finely made and were beautiful.

Liu Pei was excited and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look. After taking it, she found that this model was not only exquisite! Because they even made the ropes on the deck guns! Each of the deck guns was exquisite and cute, and they looked like real ones.

The cannon has shrunk.

Seeing Liu Pei's focused eyes, Professor Hou introduced Liu Pei and said: "The model you are looking at is the Sovereignty of the Sea launched in 1637. It is a first-class ship. It is equipped with 90 naval guns. What a perfect industry.

What a miracle!”

Liu Pei turned around in surprise and said: "Battleships are still classified? How?"

Hou Jie said with a look of disdain: "You don't understand this? Of course it's based on the number of guns loaded!" After that, he gave Liu Peipu an introduction to the grading system of British warships.

The earliest British warship classification system appeared in the period of Henry VIII, which divided warships into four categories, namely sailing ships, galleys, schooners and rowing barges.

In the late Stuart dynasty, a warship classification system based on artillery, tonnage and number of personnel began to appear in 1604.

The real classification system for sailing battleships was established in the 1660s and lasted until the middle of the 19th century. In 1677, Samuel Pepys, secretary of the British Admiralty, set the first-class battleships as having 90-100 guns, the second-class ships as having more than 80 guns, and the third-class ships as having more than 80 guns.

A first-class battleship has 48-60 guns. There will be changes every few years in the future. Generally speaking, with the advancement of technology, the standard for the number of guns is increasing. For example, in 1856, the standard for a first-class battleship was raised to more than 110 guns.

After the popularization was completed, he said to Liu Pei: "Every model here is detachable." He showed Liu Pei how to disassemble it. Liu Pei was surprised to find that this model can be disassembled from the middle.

It is divided into two parts. After opening, you can see the cross-section of the entire battleship. Moreover, all the parts of the left hull are movable and can be completely disassembled into individual parts. As long as experienced shipwrights enlarge and make these parts,

You can actually build the boat.
