After a long discussion in the conference room, Fang Rong was satisfied. But Wang Rui was not satisfied. Because Zhang Hao now only gave solutions to the battle on land, but not to the solution to the battle at sea.
And now the biggest problem in the country of Canglan comes from the sea!
This was not the time to be embarrassed. Seeing that the discussion was about to end, Wang Rui immediately stood up and asked Zhang Haohai how to solve the problem.
"This question is simple!" Zhang Hao said without any hesitation, "If you just want to overwhelm the other party on a warship, then use an iron boat!
To be precise, the warship is covered with a layer of iron skin, black iron iron skin. This black iron skin itself can be refined into magic weapons, etc., giving the warship strong defensive capabilities and even other formation capabilities.
As for installing artillery on warships, the base area can be increased and I-beams can be embedded into the hull to separate the stress and recoil.
This kind of transformation is very simple, I believe your craftsmen can do it.
As for the black iron sheet, we have it in Dayang Group. We can roll the current iron sheet, from 0.5 mm thick iron sheet to 500 mm steel plate. What about the purity...from ordinary black iron to 98% pure black iron?
, you can choose.
If we purchase in large quantities, we calculate based on weight. If we purchase in small quantities, we calculate based on iron sheet area."
Wang Rui immediately asked: "So if you want to wrap a warship that is 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 12 meters high, and has at least the defensive capabilities of a low-level magic weapon, how much iron sheet will it take?"
"Oh... to at least have the defensive ability of a low-level magic weapon, it needs 90% pure black iron. As for the thickness, it must at least have an excellent shield thickness, which should be about 1.5 centimeters.
A rough estimate is that a warship requires at least 4,500 square meters of iron sheet. Taking into account the cutting, riveting, etc. in the actual process, it is almost calculated based on 5,000 square meters. The density of black iron is about 8 tons per cubic meter. Calculated as a whole, it is almost
600 tons of iron sheet.
Oh, with a thickness of 1.5 centimeters, it should be called an iron plate.
Now the market price of 90% black iron has been reduced to one medium-grade spiritual stone, but for steel rolling, a 10% fee is charged. In other words, one ton of iron plate is calculated as 1.1 medium-grade spiritual stones."
"Then we need 10,000 tons of 1.5 cm iron plates. The total value is 110 high-grade spiritual stones."
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Don't forget, there is still a 10% tariff."
Wang Rui:...When you sold warships before, why didn't you mention tariffs?
…………
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. On the morning of the third day, before the sun came out, the shore of Changshan Port was already overcrowded.
Today, Dayang Group's "Arctic Ocean Fleet" is about to set off north to explore Liuli Island. And Dayang Group's first 35,000-ton giant warship has also officially entered service.
At this time, the battleship was already parked in the port. The 270-meter-long all-steel battleship dazzled countless people.
For example, Hua Baixiang stood on the shore and watched in trance.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly there was a noise from behind. Hua Baixiang didn't need to turn her head, Yuanshen 'saw' the scene behind her.
Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu walked in tandem; however, Zhang Hao was only half a step behind, and they were almost walking side by side.
But no one knew that Zhang Hao was discussing the war in the East with Liu Xinyu at this time, and they were isolated by barriers.
Ever since Fang Rong and Wang Rui came to Zhang Hao to learn from Zhang Hao, the war situation in the East has undergone earth-shaking changes. The iron boats of the Canglan Kingdom are still being built. This thing does not happen overnight, but it will not take long before it can be put into war.
However, trench tactics and the centralized application of artillery were used by the Canglan Kingdom and the Shaoze Kingdom.
This time, Langya Kingdom was caught off guard from the beginning. In just two days, Langya Kingdom's defense line retreated hundreds of kilometers, and the remaining territory shrank by almost one-fifth again.
The western and northern fronts were pressing for more than 100 kilometers at the same time, and the Langya Kingdom was a little anxious for a while. Especially since the two days of fighting, the Langya Kingdom has lost more than one million soldiers, and the lost materials have piled up like mountains.
The Langya Kingdom now has less than three million combatable troops, and its morale is shaken. The most serious thing is the loss of strategic supplies, which has caused the remaining soldiers to face a situation without weapons. This is fatal.
This time the defeat was too sudden. Different from the last time, the Langya Kingdom took the initiative to retreat and buried a large amount of explosives underground, which directly caused heavy losses to the coalition forces of the Canglan Kingdom and the Shaoze Kingdom. But this time, the Langya Kingdom suffered heavy losses.
It was a heavy loss. This time, the country of Langya almost lost its ability to attack and its defense was very weak.
However, war does not only happen on the battlefield, it also happens in the court and the country!
Nangong Zhi suddenly had an idea. He actually took the initiative to contact the "Country of the Northern Tang Dynasty" to form an alliance with the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty!
When Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu got the news, they both couldn't believe it, Nangong Zhi, how dare you think! The Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty, together with the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty, originally attacked your Kingdom of Shaoze, and they had the support (supervision) of the Xiaoyao Sect behind them.
But what shocked Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu was that the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty actually agreed. Well, it's a bit exaggerated to say that they agreed, but the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty was a bit inactive in the war. As a result, the Legion of the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses.
At this time, the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty suddenly sent troops to attack the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty. They also issued slogans to regain their homeland!
Yes, the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty were once one country. The Kingdom of Tang Dynasty. The founding ancestor is said to be from an ancient branch of the clan: the Tang family.
But more than two thousand years ago, two outstanding princes appeared, neither of whom were princes. The two teamed up to kill the prince, and then... divided the country of Tang. From then on, the country of Tang was divided into two, becoming the country of Southern Tang and the country of Northern Tang.
At that time, there was the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Fengrao City, which is now the imperial capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty established its capital, Yucheng; Yucheng was a companion capital at that time.
Over the years, the two Tang states have been at odds with each other and have restrained each other. In addition, with the pressure from the Xiaoyao faction behind them, the two sides have been relatively stable overall, with only a few minor conflicts.
However, Nangong Zhi's visit brought new changes to the Kingdom of Northern Tang: Nangong Zhi can provide technology, military equipment, machine tools, etc. from Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group here. There are also cheap pills and so on.
In addition, and most importantly, Nangong Zhi allowed the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty to see the "benefits of great navigation and the arrival of an era of great navigation." However, the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty was located inland and had no access to the sea at all.
In contrast, the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty has the advantage of the sea. Once the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty rises, where will the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty... go?
Because of these considerations, coupled with various promises made by Nangong Zhi, etc., although the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty did not form an alliance with the Kingdom of Shaoze and could not form an alliance, the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty went to war against the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Xiaoyao Faction's vomiting blood originally made the Southern Tang Kingdom and the Northern Tang Kingdom unite to contain the Shaoze Kingdom; now it's better, you guys are fighting on your own.
The Northern Tang Kingdom also had good reasons. On the previous battlefield, the Southern Tang Kingdom tricked us once. They retreated without telling us, causing us to suffer heavy losses. So now we have to restart the unification war!
The Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty went to war, and the Kingdom of Langya suddenly fell into a state of fighting alone.
Nangong Zhi did not miss the opportunity. The army did not take any rest and rushed forward crazily. The same was true for the country of Canglan. A real war to destroy the country was about to begin.
Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu walked very slowly, and they were discussing these things. When they arrived at the beach, Liu Xinyu sighed: "I always feel that Nangong Zhi, who is supporting me, makes me feel uneasy. I don't know if it is.
illusion."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "For the time being, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Having Nangong Zhi stir up trouble in the east, allowing the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect to focus their attention on the battlefield, is also a good opportunity for us.
Chance.
If we can seize this opportunity to develop rapidly, or accumulate a few more stages of transformation, we will be able to take more initiative."
Liu Xinyu nodded helplessly.
Speaking of which, there is a big reason why Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu can coexist peacefully now: common external pressure. This huge external pressure forced Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu to unite.
While talking, Liu Xinyu came to the beach and saw the Arctic Ocean. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's spectacular!"
(I've had a cold these past few days and can't even open my eyes. I'm sorry.)
