"See it with your own eyes?" Ice Emperor blinked his big eyes, shook his head and said: "You can't fly that far in the sea. If you fly, flying ten thousand miles at a time is already the limit. If there is no foothold on the sea, I can also
You will be attacked by the Sea Soul Beast."
The ocean is considered the first half of the ice emperor's home field, but compared to the sea soul beast, she is at a disadvantage after all. If she keeps flying, the huge consumption will give some hundred thousand year sea soul beasts an opportunity to take advantage.
"It doesn't have to be flying! You have to know that sometimes we have to take some stupid measures." As he said that, Cheng Ying had already pulled Ice Emperor to the riverside.
Here are his hydraulic factories, hydraulic spinning wheels, hydraulic forging hammers, hydraulic machine tools, and water-powered mills. Before the birth of the steam engine, almost all mechanically powered factories could be replaced by water power.
Only this time, what Cheng Ying wanted to show the Ice Emperor was not these, but the shipyard not far away. In the huge wooden shipyard more than 20 meters high, giant logs of tens of meters were constantly coming in and out.
Thanks to the Star Forest, you can easily buy a huge tree with a diameter of more than three meters with money. Although the bigger the wood is not necessarily the better for shipbuilding, the bigger the wood used for the main keel and mast is naturally the better.
.
The two of them entered the dock and saw a huge wooden warship standing in the semi-underground dock. Even though most of the hull was underground, the two of them could only look up at the bow of the ship.
The bow of the ship, which is more than fifteen meters above the ground, makes people feel insignificant when looking at it. The 139-meter-long hull makes this Big Mac a giant even in the sea.
There are a total of forty naval guns lined up along the side strings, all of which are heavy artillery with a caliber of over 90 millimeters. A single side string salvo is enough to turn an unsuspecting Soul Saint into a pulp.
"It's so big!" Ice Emperor's little mouth opened into an O shape. The largest spirit beast she had ever seen before, the Titan Snow Demon King, was only a few hundred meters tall. It was already the largest spirit beast on land. Ice Emperor didn't expect it at all.
Human beings can actually create such huge creations.
"Yes! It's really big! With it as a foothold, don't you feel a little more confident about going to the end of the world?" Cheng Ying hugged Ice Emperor, jumped onto the deck, pointed to the three huge grooves on the deck and said: "Soon
Later, the final mast will be installed here. The battleship at that time was fifty meters high even if only the part above the water was counted.
At that time, we sat on the bow of the boat together, riding the sea breeze and heading towards the setting sun to see if the world really has an end!"
When Cheng Ying said this, he hugged the Ice Emperor and sat on the huge ram of the bow. In front of him was the open door of the dock, and outside the door was the sparkling river.
The Ice Emperor didn't quite understand the meaning of romance, but imagining such a scene couldn't help but feel satisfied. The scene in front of him seemed to have turned into an endless sea and a red sun falling into the sea. The two set sail and ran without hesitation.
To the end of the world.
…
In the next week, Cheng Ying spent time with the shipbuilders in the dock, while Meng Shu was too lazy to be taught by Dugu Bo. As for the painting that was promised... Cheng Ying said that you should paint the eggs first.
Come back to me when you draw two identical eggs.
Cheng Ying said that he was definitely not lazy, he was using the same education method that produced Leonardo da Vinci...
Cheng Ying, who was in the dock, mainly discussed the placement of the steam engine with these shipbuilding geniuses. The steam engine designed by Cheng Ying was a typical stupid, clumsy one. After all, he only knew the principles. To be able to do it to this extent was already a feat of material science.
The result is.
If such a heavy thing is placed at the stern of the ship, it will definitely affect the balance. If it is placed beside the ship, the transmission will be a big trouble. Marine engineers said that it must be placed in the middle, otherwise the ship will definitely capsize.
But if the steam engine is placed in the middle, the propeller must be replaced by a low-profile paddle wheel. When Chengying thinks about the two extra big wheels next to the sailboat, he feels extremely ugly. However, due to reality, the first steamship
It can be designed like this.
He could only secretly swear that he must find a way to transform a better steam engine as soon as possible and let the ship engineers install the paddle wheel that had been prepared long ago.
Not to mention, they are indeed a group of shipbuilding geniuses. Although it looks a bit ugly at first glance, if you look closely, it has a steampunk style, especially on the rear side, with two small paddle wheels to assist steering and underwater auxiliary wings.
This wooden battleship instantly smelled like something inside.
The last step is to dismantle the dock and install the masts and sails made of huge logs. This giant sailing battleship can be launched into the water. The wood has been soaked in tung oil for nearly a year, so there is no need to worry about it aging and falling apart in the seawater.
Apart from the eye-catching paddle wheel, Cheng Ying is quite satisfied with this 100-meter-long ship. He started preparing for this ship a year ago, not to mention teaching the naval engineers about the structure of sharp-bottomed ships and keel structures.
Even the design ideas of Galen's ship.
Just say that there are eighty heavy cannons on both sides of the side string, which cost Chengying countless efforts. Some people may say that if guns can be made, shouldn't cannons be simpler?
Obviously, this is a wonderful misunderstanding. The barrel can be punched or drilled, but the barrel must be cast. The most primitive clay and beeswax cast guns often cause damage to the gun due to the moisture in the clay.
Honeycomb bubbles appear in the tube, resulting in insufficient strength of the gun body.
If a musket explodes, it will blind an eye... If a heavy artillery explodes... In short, it will make me cry if I say too much. If Cheng Ying hadn't lit the fire himself that day, the person who lit the fire would definitely have died, and there would be no intact corpse.
Later, Cheng Ying recruited a bunch of craftsmen who knew how to cast bells and cauldrons, told them the idea of casting cannons from iron embryos, and asked Tang Chen to personally help create high-strength and high-temperature-resistant demonized iron embryos, and then he built these eighty cannons intermittently.
Heavy artillery.
After rifling, it fires an eighteen-pound solid iron ball. The accuracy is limited, but the salvo within a thousand meters is still somewhat accurate. If it is used to attack a city, one salvo can teach most city walls how to behave.
This is also a gift prepared by Chengying for the sea soul beast. It is definitely not enough to deal with a hundred thousand year soul beast, but it is more than enough to teach a ten thousand year soul beast how to be a human being. After all, soul beasts under one hundred thousand years old have limited IQ. If they are fired in one round, they may
I don’t even know how I died.
Here, Cheng Ying had everything ready, he just needed to blow up the river embankment to get the boat out, but Meng Shu was in trouble over at the manor. As an unlucky kid who only wanted to learn to draw, he had to do it every day.
Forget about painting eggs.
On weekdays, he had to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge under the abuse of Dugu Bo, which was euphemistically called basic knowledge. Now Meng Shu wanted to tear up the book, pointed at the quadratic equation on it and cursed: "What the hell do you care about this thing?"
It’s called basic knowledge, and it’s hard to say whether anyone in the entire continent can understand this stuff!”
If Cheng Ying could hear it, he would definitely nod his head and say, yes, it is indeed basic knowledge...
