Tang Chenying didn't open the door, but how could this be so difficult for Gao Shang? Gao Shang shouted loudly at the door, attracting countless attention, and stood at the door without leaving.
People watching the excitement soon gathered on the street. Some people pointed at Gundam Shang, while others gave humble smiles and respectful greetings from a distance. Of course, there were also people who were curious about Tang Chenying who did not open the door. It was inevitable.
Say something.
Tang Chenying was a master at the peak of Nascent Soul, and he could hear the sounds outside the door clearly! Seeing that Gao Shang still didn't leave, Tang Chenying became angry.
Tang Nuxia opened the door angrily and shouted angrily at Gauda Shang: "Gaota Shang, you are not welcome here!"
"Xiaoying...you have forgotten that we were..."
"We've only met a few times, so let's talk about the past!" Tang Chenying became even more angry, and this bastard became more and more presumptuous. He even went beyond what he said, but this guy could ignore the empty space and step on his nose!
Gautama looked at Tang Chenying's peerless face with a look of fascination in his eyes; but at this moment, Gautama spoke uprightly: "Fellow Taoist Tang, please forgive me for disturbing you. I am here today on the orders of His Majesty, and I want to pay homage to him.
You asked about the situation in the West of the Fertile Continent. Is it convenient for you?"
Tang Chenying opened his mouth and pointed at Gundam for a while before snorting, "Come in!"
Tang Chenying took Gao Shang to sit down in the pavilion in the yard, then called Li Yuanyuan over, and said to Gao Shang rudely: "If you want to understand the West of the Fertile Continent, you need me as your disciple.
If you have anything to say, just ask."
Looking at Tang Chenying's businesslike appearance, Gao Shang didn't care at all. He looked at Tang Chenying carefully for a while, until Tang Chenying became impatient, and then he laughed.
Turning to look at Li Yuanyuan:
"My nephew, the situation is like this. Recently, news came from the west that a 'coastal war' broke out between the two holy places of Xiaoyao Sect and Xuanzhen Sect. However, the most eye-catching thing in this coastal war is that
A duel between steel battleships.
A decisive battle took place at sea between 19 steel battleships of the Xuanzhen Sect and five steel battleships of the Xiaoyao Sect, as well as more than 300 warships. In the end, the Xuanzhen Sect won a complete victory and all the warships of the Xiaoyao Sect were wiped out.
Your Majesty is very curious about the ‘Steel Battleship’. I heard that you have been to the west of the Fertile Continent, so you came here to inquire about it.”
Li Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly brightened: "Uncle Master, Steel Battleship? Are you sure that's the name? Do you have more detailed information?"
Gaoshang took out the jade slip and was about to speak, but Tang Chenying snorted coldly: "Don't call him uncle!"
"Oh..." Li Yuanyuan blinked and silently took the jade slips from Gao Shang. Compared with the jade slips in Fertile Continent, the jade slips here are more excellent and can completely record the battlefield situation. Of course.
, it’s still blurry, but you can still see the general situation. Especially since the jade slips come with their own explanations.
The fleets of both sides started shooting at each other when they were more than ten kilometers apart, and the naval battle officially began.
Li Yuanyuan was shaken when she saw it. After a while, she slowly put down the jade slip and said, "Uncle..."
"Ahem!" Tang Chenying reminded.
Li Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Senior, are these steel battleships produced by a commercial group called Dayang Group?"
Tang Chenying snorted disdainfully: "The Li family has shares in Dayang Group, which is partial ownership. The Li Yuanyuan you are talking to now has also handled the financial accounting of Dayang Group! Do you think they know this?"
Gaoshang's eyes brightened even more, and he was so excited that he almost stood up, "Yuanyuan, how much does that steel battleship cost? Your Majesty wants to buy some, do you think it can be cheaper?"
"This..." Li Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed, "Senior, when I left Dayang Group, I had just produced the Dutian Liehuo Formation, and had just produced a material called 'steel'. A material that is better than Xuantie.
s material.
At that time, the Ocean Group had just launched its sailing plan and did not yet have steel battleships.
Therefore, I don’t know the specific situation of the steel battleship.
But steel, I know it. This is steel."
Li Yuanyuan took out an iron block of about one kilogram from the storage ring. The iron block looked similar to the top black iron color, but the color was much darker.
Godard took it over and inspected it for a moment, thinking thoughtfully: "It is better than black iron, with a purity of up to 98%! This thing... is much more expensive than black iron?"
"Three times the price of black iron of the same purity!" Li Yuanyuan said slowly, "When I left the West of the Fertile Continent, the price of such steel was as high as 30 high-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, and this piece of steel was at least 60 high-grade spiritual stones.
I don’t know what the price of steel is now, but according to my understanding, if the quality of steel is to be qualified, the purity will generally not be less than 98%.
If a warship is made entirely of steel, with the addition of artillery and other technologies, the cost of building this warship must be astronomical!
By the way, how big is the battleship during the battle?"
Godard Shang's face turned serious: "It is said that the small steel battleship has more than 10,000 tons, and the large one has more than 20,000 tons. By the way, how much is this 'ton'?"
"One ton, one thousand kilograms, two thousand kilograms.
However, I vaguely remember that the battleships of the Ocean Group are calculated based on displacement, which is the weight of the ship when fully loaded. Steel battleships are heavy, and a 10,000-ton battleship must weigh at least 4,000 tons.
Because there are differences in the measurement units between the East and the West, one pound in the East is slightly larger than one pound in the West. Therefore, even if calculated based on the Eastern measurement units, the smallest warship would have a deadweight of eight to nine million pounds.
According to the price of Xuantie, the cost of a steel battleship is 24 million spiritual stones. But this is only the cost price of materials. Shipbuilding requires technology, and Dayang Group has this saying: Magic weapons have a price, technology is priceless.
!
The artillery I saw from the records, the smallest and smallest artillery, are all priced according to one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones. There is also the power system inside the battleship. The power system of the Ocean Group should be a steam turbine. Military steam turbines are said to cost three
Start with one million high-grade spiritual stones.
I estimate that for a 10,000-ton warship, seniors would have to prepare at least 50 million high-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, my estimate is not accurate. After all, when I left Dayang Group, there were no steel battleships. This cost price was calculated based on the original steel price.
And it’s still 98% pure steel; if steel with a purity of 99% or above is used in battleships, the price will probably increase a lot.
For specific circumstances, you have to ask Dayang Group."
Gundam was a little dazed, this situation was a bit unexpected! He looked at Li Yuanyuan who was talking eloquently, and it took him a while to finally come to his senses. The estimate given by Li Yuanyuan was probably almost the same as the real price.
Of course, Li Yuanyuan's words also revealed a lot of information. For example, when Li Yuanyuan left, there were no steel battleships. Now, in just two years, a duel of steel battleships has broken out. Also, Li Yuanyuan seems to be completely sure that the steel battleships were built by Dayang Group
of, not someone else?
Faced with Gaoshang's question, Li Yuanyuan explained: "Two years is actually not a short time. And the reason why I am sure that the steel battleship was built by Dayang Group is because as far as I know, only Dayang Group has the steel technology, and Dayang Group has
The background of Xuanzhen Religion is difficult for others to get involved in!
Also, for the artillery on the battleship, I saw large-caliber artillery with a range of more than ten kilometers. It seems that only Dayang Group has such artillery technology.
Senior, please look carefully. The cannons on the warships behind have very close ranges. These cannons may not be produced by Dayang Group."
Gaota Shang took back the jade slip and observed it for a long time, and finally had to nod, "Yes, the artillery can clearly be seen as two technologies. But this is strange. Since Dayang Group has a Xuanzhen sect background, why can Xiaoyao Sect have steel battleships?
"
Li Yuanyuan smiled helplessly: "Senior, I have been away for two years. I don't know exactly what happened. But one thing should be certain. If it is a steel battleship, if it is a battleship made entirely of steel, then it should be
Only Dayang Group can build it."
Gaota Shang thought for a while and finally asked: "Yuanyuan, do you want to go home?"
Li Yuanyuan was immediately moved. It has been two years since she came out...
"I don't want to!" Tang Chenying said coolly, "If you don't become a Yuanying, you won't go home! Women, you have to be cruel to yourself!"
The corners of Gundam's mouth twitched!
Li Yuanyuan's eyes flashed with sadness, but it was quickly replaced by strength. She slowly shook her head at Gao Shang: "Uncle, I am not going back for the time being."
