The research and development of the Dreadnought-class battleship has entered a critical period.
His initial model has been almost built, and Stephenson has almost explored the giant steam engine of Longyan.
Now is the most critical debugging stage.
Newton didn't know how to build a ship, but he knew how to maximize the power of a steam engine.
After several starts, Stephenson and he both clearly realized how powerful this giant steam engine made by dragon flames could be.
After their careful calculations, this giant steam engine can at least provide power for a warship with a displacement of more than 300 tons.
This is just theoretical data.
Other data and other designs of this battleship are not included in the superposition.
If you include the unique design of this battleship to achieve higher speed and larger displacement, it can reach a displacement of at least four million tons.
The more they thought about it, the more they realized how terrifying Long Yan's research and development capabilities were.
It’s hard to imagine how large a displacement Long Yan’s supply ship has!
The supply ship of Weilongyan is the largest, but its speed is extremely fast.
Even ordinary battleships and destroyers cannot be enemies with him.
Stephenson had only two words of excitement in his heart about such a giant steam engine.
The prototype Dreadnought-class battleship they manufactured had long abandoned the traditional wood design, and the overall design was made of steel.
They want to build a steel ship that can sail on the sea.
But Stephenson wasn't too excited.
Although this research also shocked the world, it was far from the steam train he wanted.
To him, building such a warship was nothing more than building a killing weapon.
But steam trains, a vehicle for transporting supplies, are completely different.
They are not created to kill.
Newton understood his thoughts, but did not dissuade him. He was originally very irritable, but he was very easy-going on this matter.
"When the prototype of the Dreadnought-class battleship is completed, I won't be needed here."
Stephenson said lightly.
He looked at this big guy lying in the middle of the factory base.
Newton stood next to him and said: "If you decide, I can help you leave here and go to Longyan."
"I know there is a ship that is leaving from Britain to Longyan to transport tea."
Stephenson was quite surprised to see this man, whose mind was filled only with theoretical research, actually saying that he could help.
This is simply impossible to happen.
"How did you make it?" Stephenson asked.
Newton smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "You know, besides research, I also like other things."
"Long Yan's tea can help me regain my energy. It's much better than bitter and astringent coffee."
Stephenson smiled and nodded: "That sounds very Newtonian."
Newton laughed.
After Stephenson thought for a while, he looked at Newton's face and said very seriously: "Thank you."
"It's okay. Remember to write to me when you get to Longyan."
"Go to my place tonight. I think Mo Cheng and Hu Xier have something to say to you."
Stephenson nodded to express his understanding.
Mo Cheng and Hu Xi'er were from Long Yan, so they didn't help him in the slightest.
Stephenson knew that if he wanted to leave, Mo Cheng and Hu Xier would be his greatest help.
Thinking of this, Stephenson said: "You are right, I will go to them first."
