[Thank you everyone for your sincere opinions and reply here.
1. The production of guns is not that simple. If you didn’t skip reading, you will find that the protagonist has not solved the spring problem. It has only been developed for less than a year, and many things are incomplete.
Spring is the core component of a gun. You may think that springs are very common, but springs have a high technical content and require special steel and equipment.
In addition, without sensitive explosives such as fulminant, the spring in the gun is not powerful enough to perfectly activate ordinary gunpowder bullets.
In fact, there are still countries that cannot produce bullets.
‘Common’ does not mean ‘simple’. Everything we have now is the result of countless accumulations of knowledge over one or two hundred years.
2. Some readers have put forward some professional suggestions, which Tianya humbly accepts. However, this is a fictional world in a novel after all, and there are always some independent settings. Please read the full text carefully.
Thanks for the comments.]
As the sun rose in the east, Liu Xinyu took the crown without the orb and started the day's court meeting.
Although several days have passed, the ministers still felt a little dazzling when they looked at Liu Xinyu's crown. The hole left by the pearl was like a scar!
But Liu Xinyu was used to it. She glanced around, "Everyone, since the surrounding countries are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! They are afraid of the spread of our industrial and commercial influence, but whatever the enemy is afraid of, we will do it!
From now on, we will make the following arrangements.
First, domestic black iron factories and other factories are accelerating their construction. Within a month, at least ten black iron factories will be added, and the cost price of black iron will be reduced to less than one-tenth of the current level.
Dayang Group is preparing to disclose relevant technologies,
You can collect it from all commercial banks in the country. However, it must be registered with Dayang Group and the country; if anything unpleasant happens in the future, you will be responsible for the consequences.
It is expected that within three months, the price of black iron will be reduced by half again!
Secondly, Black Iron increased and began to build a large number of war instruments and so on.
Third, the country will gradually abolish the black iron currency system within one month, and will gradually adopt a currency system in which banknotes and spiritual stones coexist.
Fourth, expand the influence of industry and commerce, especially the social status of the industrial and commercial class, and the influence of new ideas, including non-aristocratic ideas, constitutional monarchy, etc., will fundamentally shake the foundations of other countries.
Fifth, the country of Danyang is now a completely empty zone. Within half a year, we will support a group of industrial and commercial classes to come out and shake the foundation of the country of Danyang!
Is there anything you can add?”
Prime Minister Zhao Duo immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, there are no nobles in the Kingdom of Danyang now. If we promote the development of the Kingdom of Danyang, will it be counterproductive and make the Kingdom of Danyang stronger?"
Liu Xinyu thought for a moment and said: "I think this possibility is very low. Because although our five-nation coalition robbed the nobles of Danyang Country before, we did not kill them!
And the nobles who have nothing will be even crazier!
This time the Kingdom of Danyang repeats itself, there are shadows of these nobles behind it.
Also, the royal family of Danyang Country is complex and is itself a huge aristocracy. Those clan elders, clans, etc. are not willing to see the mud-legged people in the past stand up!
Nowadays, the emperor of Danyang Kingdom has not changed. Many old ministers are still there. The domestic political environment does not allow the emergence of reforms and the rise of the industrial and commercial class!
Perhaps Danyang will follow our example in developing industry and commerce, but it will not allow the rise of the industrial and commercial class. That will be the real big trouble!
What we want to do is to provide a hope, the only hope, for the industrial and commercial classes in various countries. The country of Qixia is their future!"
Wu Fanghai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the production of black iron increases, the cost of steel will also decrease. By then, I want to arm all the soldiers with steel.
In addition, railways are of great importance for transporting troops and materials, so railways should be built to connect the country and checkpoints.
There are also artillery, etc., which require a lot. The centralization and large-scale use of artillery are enough to change the direction of the war."
Liu Xinyu nodded, "Ocean Group and the Zhang family are seizing the time to produce locomotives, steam turbines, steel, artillery, etc. I also want to tell the general some good news. The Zhang family recently produced a 460mm artillery piece.
The 460mm artillery shell is almost half a meter in diameter and 1.8 meters long. The shell weighs about 1.4 tons and has an explosive warhead charge of about 500 kilograms.
Moreover, the range of the 460mm artillery has reached an unprecedented 20 kilometers!
In addition, the Zhang family has also upgraded all 100mm and 300mm artillery, with a range of more than 20 kilometers!
According to the information provided by the Zhang family, the shell speed of the 460mm artillery can reach 2.2 times the speed of sound, the speed of the 100mm artillery can reach 3.2 times the speed of sound, and the speed of the 300mm artillery can reach 2.9 times the speed of sound."
Everyone in the court suddenly opened their mouths in surprise. After a series of wars, almost everyone in the court had seen the power of artillery with their own eyes and had a deep understanding of the new war and the new weapon of artillery.
What does a 20-kilometer range mean? It means strikes beyond line of sight, truly out of line of sight!
The atmosphere in this world is thick and water vapor is abundant, resulting in relatively low atmospheric visibility. For ordinary people, the image begins to blur beyond ten kilometers, and it is almost foggy beyond 20 kilometers. Only experts can barely see farther scenes with the help of magic.
.
In the past, the two armies were stationed to face each other, and the distance was generally about 30 miles, or about fifteen kilometers. In other words, the enemy was still stationed, and the artillery shells fell!
Just thinking about it makes you excited!
A distance of 20 kilometers can only be crossed by attacks from the Nascent Soul stage, but here we have a row of artillery for fun.
After that, many things were discussed in the court. Liu Xinyu was cruel this time and did not play any games of distant friendship and close attack. Instead, he directly planned to instigate rebellion and win over the industrial and commercial classes. This was to fundamentally destroy the Western countries.
Liu Xinyu is disgusted with winning over nobles. Even if he wins over now, it will be a big trouble in the future! Many times, the selfishness of nobles will lead to many weird things. And the war situation in the Canglan Country is...
Liu Xinyu’s new warning:
Most of these aristocrats are typical examples of people who fail to succeed but fail to succeed!
Winning over these nobles to do something, who knows what will develop in the end. Halfway through the cooperation, asking for money at the critical moment is too childish for the nobles.
But no matter what, the counterattack of Qixia Kingdom has begun. And this counterattack comes from the "form of civilization". This is a new era of thought, a challenge to the old era of thought.
The wheel of history has reached a fork in the road!
…………
When the Kingdom of Qixia began to exert its power, Zhang Hao once again saw the magnificent sunrise on the sea.
The long red clouds dyed the sky red, and the sea reflected the color of the sky; a red sun slowly stood out between the sea and the sky. There was some fog on the sea today, but it also made the sunrise even more majestic.
After a moment, three rainbows appeared on the sea.
The sailors cheered. It was just the first day, and everyone was still a little excited. Especially some sailors who were going to sea for the first time and serving on the Iron Duke battleship.
The Iron Duke, with a standard displacement of 12,800 tons, sailed on the left (east, the fleet went south), just shrouding the shadow of the Zhiyuan battleship in the west, which was a whole circle smaller.
The morning sun was very low, and the shadow of the Iron Duke almost perfectly covered the Zhiyuan battleship, which made the sailors of the Zhiyuan battleship very dissatisfied. Everyone slowed down a little and finally saw the majestic sunrise.
After midnight sailing, we have gone south for more than 500 kilometers. This place is still offshore of the Kingdom of Qixia, and we did not encounter any marine monsters overnight.
But it’s hard to say what happens next. As the battleship moves southward, it has left the familiar sea areas of the past. The past few voyages have all been along the seaside - the longest distance is only two to three hundred kilometers.
Dugu Junjie is the commander of this fleet - although there are only two ships, and they are on the Iron Duke. The Zhiyuan promoted an outstanding talent - Zhao Yuhang.
Zhao Yuhang himself is also a guard of the Zhang family, and has recently broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core. He performed exceptionally well in previous sailings and trainings, and was promoted by Dugu Junjie and affirmed by Zhang Hao. Now, he has become a ship of the Zhiyuan
long.
However, Dugu Junjie quickly ran to the stern of the Iron Duke and shouted, don't break the formation just to watch the sunrise. The two warships must take care of each other, one on the left and the other on the right, before the next downgrade.
So the sailors of the Zhiyuan battleship who had just cheered a few times had no choice but to run back into the shadow of the Iron Duke battleship. Fortunately, Dugu Junjie was not a rigid person and promised to let them change positions tomorrow morning.
The sunrise in the morning brought everyone a little joy, and many people even practiced in the rising sun. But by noon, when the scorching sun scorched the steel battleship, everyone withered.
At this time, the surroundings were a vast sea of uniformity, and an unspeakable loneliness began to spread among the crowd.
The warship has been at least 1,200 kilometers away from the mainland, and has completely penetrated into the depths of the Green Sea of Death. Everyone began to be vigilant, but so far they have not encountered powerful marine monsters. There are only some small marine monsters, etc., and they are curious to follow them.
Look, but it disappears quickly.
The battleship continued to move south, guided by the compass and guided by Zhao Dahe's star-pulling technique. By the way, since Zhang Hao's guidance, Zhao Dahe perfected the star-pulling technique and included the sun and moon.
Consider.
It was calm all the way and it was already evening before I realized it.
Zhang Hao frowned slightly. This green sea of death seemed unnervingly calm. Especially against the backdrop of the boundless loneliness on the vast sea, this uneasiness was even more impetuous.
For the monsters in the ocean, the steel battleship is a golden mountain that can run away, and they have no reason to turn a blind eye. The previous battles with the monsters in the offshore should not have affected the entire Green Sea of Death.
"Perhaps, judging from the scale of the Green Sea of Death, it is just on the edge right now!" In the end, Zhang Hao could only comfort himself and others in this way.
The setting sun gradually submerged into the sea level, and the setting sun at this time was particularly huge and bright.
However, at this moment, the sailor on the observation deck suddenly screamed: "There is something in the sea. There is a black shadow there. It is so big, I am afraid it is about a hundred meters long!"
"Prepare for war!" Dugu Junjie shouted, and then came to the side of the ship to observe.
On the left side of the Iron Duke battleship, in the shadow cast by the setting sun through the Iron Duke, there is a deep darkness that is advancing with the battleship. The shadow looks about a hundred meters away, vaguely showing a slightly ferocious snake shape.
"Jiaolong?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly.
"It's not like that!" Dugu Junjie shook his head, "The dragon will not be so quiet, and this shadow... also has some characteristics that the dragon does not have.
I have recently studied a lot of information about dragons. Dragons have the nature of snakes and are good at hiding. In this way, they should not be dragons.
It seems that it has been with the ship for a long time, and it is only now revealed. I don’t know if it is observing us, or if it really means no harm."
Zhang Hao nodded slowly: "Be careful, don't take the initiative to provoke us yet, but stay vigilant and let the soldiers take turns to rest. Maybe the other side is waiting for us to get tired.
We know nothing about the sea, so be careful. By the way, keep a logbook.
Also, send people to check the bottom cabins, etc., to see if anything unusual happens."
Dugu Junjie nodded and made arrangements.
After a while, Zhao Dahe came over. Zhao Dahe looked at the black shadow in the water and frowned slightly. It was already dark at this time, and the black shadow in the water was already very blurry.
Zhao Dahe observed for a long time and asked: "Have you observed anything like dragon horns?"
Zhang Hao thought for a moment: "There seems to be such a thing, but I can't see it clearly now."
Zhao Dahe nodded: "If my memory is correct, we may be in trouble. We encountered... a mirage dragon! The mirage dragon has a gentle personality and is said to be a little timid, but its ability cannot be underestimated. Moreover, different
Compared to the dragon, the mirage is a real dragon!
Of course, it is still uncertain whether there are dragons in this world. But what is certain is that no matter how bad the mirage dragon is, it is still better than the dragon!"
"Mirage..." Zhang Hao's eyes became wary.
There are many legends about the sea, and even the Kingdom of Qixia has some legends. One of the most well-known legends among the many legends is the mirage. The mirage is often associated with mirages and overseas fairy mountains.
Everyone agreed that the mirage released by the mirage dragon must have a prototype, or even be copied exactly as it is - that is to say, there must be such a miraculous world, which should be the legendary fairy island!
The sky is getting darker and the sun has completely disappeared. But the sky tonight seems to be particularly gloomy, and the stars in the sky have all disappeared.
Suddenly the sailor who was navigating exclaimed: "The compass is spinning around! We have lost our direction!"
Zhang Hao took a deep breath: Regardless of whether the Mirage took action, at least the battleship was in trouble!
Dugu Junjie was very calm: "Keep the rudder still, let's keep moving forward!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw waves emerging from the sea, pushing the battleship to move, and the direction... couldn't be maintained. This time, the battleship really lost its direction. It was less than a day before everyone set off!
At this time, Zhang Hao could only look at Zhao Dahe. Whether the star-pulling technique is effective depends on now.
Zhao Dahe had already started busy. He took his disciple Zhao Ke and several assistants of the Zhang family guards he had recently trained to get busy on the deck.
A newly created Zhoutian star map was carried out - this Zhoutian star map is more than two meters in diameter and circular, with the Zhoutian stars rearranged on it. Each Zhoutian star map is decorated with star gold;
They are connected with fine gold formations to form a complex formation.
Then Zhao Dahe took out his one-foot-sized ancestral star compass. He sat cross-legged on the star chart, with the compass suspended above his head. The light of the stars in the sky appeared faintly in front of him, and gradually enveloped Zhao Dahe.
Suddenly, a faint, bluish-white light shot in from the outside world, hitting the light and shadow of a star in the formation's shadow, and then another...
After about a cup of tea, four rays of starlight had already fallen. The star map suddenly circled, and the shadow of the North Star on the compass slowly appeared behind Zhao Dahe's head. The North Star suddenly bloomed with a brilliant brilliance and shot straight into the void. After a while, an even brighter light returned.
, linked to the polar star of the formation.
Zhao Dahe slowly raised his hand and pointed in front of him and stopped talking.
"Go at full speed!" Dugu Junjie shouted!
The battleships began to accelerate. The Iron Duke's power exploded at 95%, and the Zhiyuan battleship's power exploded at 105%. The two went hand in hand, heading in the direction pointed by Zhao Dahe.
While advancing, Zhao Dahe's fingers slowly turned, while Dugu Junjie adjusted the direction of the battleship.
The waves began to roll, and suddenly a shocking wave crashed onto the battleship, seeming to push the battleship away from the correct direction.
Suddenly, the night sky in the distance in the west hung upside down... No, it was a wave of tens of meters high, coming like a mountain peak, as if it was about to knock the battleship into the sea.
Dugu Junjie roared: "Open the barrier with all your strength, change direction, and crash into it!"
The two battleships kept a distance of more than ten meters and turned side by side. Because they were turning to the right, the Iron Duke's turning radius was larger, so the Iron Duke exploded with 100% thrust.
Under the command of Dugu Junjie, the two battleships turned side by side, accelerated side by side, and then... rushed into the surging waves side by side.
"Boom..." Like the sky collapsing, boundless waves crashed down, and even the Iron Duke battleship was almost underwater - the waterline once exceeded the limit load waterline, and the hull made a unique squeaking sound of steel. But with the help of defense
Thanks to the power of the barrier, the battleship was still safe after all.
But just after crossing the first wave, I saw the second wave appearing in front.
"Artillery!" Dugu Junjie roared angrily, and the cannons on the bows of the two battleships quickly raised.
"put!"
The bow of the Iron Duke was equipped with three 460mm main guns and three 300mm secondary guns, while the Zhiyuan was equipped with three 300mm main guns. A total of 9 extra-large shells rushed out crazily.
Amidst the explosions that filled the sky, the wave crest in front shattered.
Faintly, amid the sound of explosions and waves, there seemed to be a dragon roar flashing through.
Zhang Hao could hear it, and Dugu Junjie, who was already in the late Golden Core stage, could of course hear it more clearly. Dugu Junjie suddenly pointed to the right, about directly in front of the Zhiyuan battleship: "800 meters in front of the Zhiyuan battleship, attack continuously!"
This time, in the flash of flames, a 'long creature' was blown out of the sea water, and a miserable dragon roar erupted in mid-air. The power of the artillery explosion underwater was several times more powerful than the power of the explosion in the air. This
The power is enough to frighten the gods.
The creature screamed and was about to fall back to the water; but the moment it just touched the water, the third wave of shells came. So it was blown up into the air again.
The two warships quickly approached and gradually separated, trying to surround the creature.
On the side of the ship, the 'ballistas' with barbs are ready. These ballistae are built with the latest technology and propelled by small barrels and explosives.
The arrows are densely packed with formations, have extraordinary abilities such as armor-breaking and forbidden-breaking, and are made of the finest steel.
The purity of the steel in the arrow part has reached 99.9%, and it has absorbed the saturated spiritual energy. This is the Zhang family's most powerful material at present - ordinary steel only absorbs one-tenth of the spiritual energy.
As long as you are hit by this crossbow arrow, you will still have to shed your skin even in the stage of becoming a god. Human beings really have a unique advantage in the invention and creation of weapons.
The arrows shimmered with cold light, even in the dark, it still shone with a heart-stopping cold light.
When the distance approached about 300 meters, the artillery became somewhat ineffective; but at this time, it had already entered the range of the crossbow.
Crossbow arrows carrying ropes flew into the night sky and into the sea like lightning. When these powerful crossbows built with the Zhang family's top technology exploded, there was a sonic boom!
Most of these crossbow bolts propelled by gunpowder failed, but one or two made a tooth-aching sound, as if they were tearing something apart. Then an even more shrill dragon roar erupted on the sea.
Dugu Junjie was overjoyed: "Catch him alive!"
But at the next moment, a slightly petite mirage suddenly appeared on the sea. It tore the rope of the crossbow arrow like lightning and dived into the deep sea with the injured dragon.
The sea has calmed down. But there are still no stars in the sky. There is even thicker fog. Gradually, outside the barrier of the giant ship, you can't even see your fingers!
