On the other side, Zeng Yunfeng and others rode horses, and soon another group of people joined them.

For the arrival of this group of people, Steven was a little puzzled. He looked back at these people frequently, and Gris Allen next to him was really expressionless.

Steven glanced at Gris Allen's expression, and knew that he knew all this, and some of these people looked uplifted, while some were downcast.

Steven could even see thick calluses on some people's hands, but he didn't know where these people came from, and why they merged into the torrent of his group.

Zeng Yunfeng smiled when he saw a group of people joining in. He came to the European continent, but he never left empty-handed.

He came not only to rescue Gris Allen, but also to rob some unlucky craftsmen in this war.

In the current era alone, the development of science and technology is not as fast as imagined, but some things can already be arranged in advance.

Since the birth of Newton, the level of theoretical development in the western world has been rising steadily. Even the Age of Discovery has been nurtured by Newton and his group, and the steam engine that will appear later is undoubtedly what Zeng Yunfeng wants to plot.

However, judging from the current situation, there is still a long way to go to fully develop the steam engine, but the layout must be advanced in advance, which is closely related to sea power.

In Zeng Yunfeng's view, although it is still the era of sailing warships, ironclad ships will inevitably go to the sea in the future. Among other things, the giant cannons will become more and more powerful in the future. The huge recoil of those cannons alone is not something these wooden sailing ships can bear. Come on, the ironclad ship will become the only choice.

And it is not easy to make an ironclad ship run on the sea, it is not a simple ship covered with iron, but a real ironclad ship.

With such a huge monster and such a tonnage, it is a bit difficult to rely on sails to make it run on the sea, so steam power is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

Zeng Yunfeng boasted that the people under him were not yet able to build a fuel engine, so steam power is also one of the current options, but to really build it, it will cost a lot of money and time. year can be completed.

Of course, if Zeng Yunfeng puts all his strength into it, and even let him concentrate on research alone, maybe he can build one or two ships, but this is only one and two ships.

Moreover, all technological development is based on the current industrial foundation, and it is impossible for Zeng Yunfeng to directly cross a stage without materials, and even create an aircraft carrier, which is completely unrealistic.

Climbing the technology tree still needs to be climbed bit by bit. Although Zeng Yunfeng is very interested in and even curious about these current mysticisms, Zeng Yunfeng even has the idea of ​​integrating these mysticisms into the development of these technologies, but he is not in a hurry .

He was also very curious about what kind of monster would be produced by the combination of the two, so during this trip to Europe, Zeng Yunfeng naturally asked his subordinates to search for available craftsmen.

In particular, Gris Allen made great efforts and recruited a large number of craftsmen. Some of these craftsmen were unsuccessful in their own country, and some were simply kidnapped by people sent by Gris Allen, so they Only then was he downcast, looking very spiritless.

In their view, they were captured by this group of robbers, and their fate in the future is hard to say. Anyone who has such an experience will not be in a good mood.

But as the mastermind behind all this, Zeng Yunfeng is of course very happy.

A few years ago, he attacked Central America and searched for many craftsmen from various Spanish stations, which also provided him with a certain shipbuilding foundation for building a fleet.

Otherwise, he would not be crazy about exploding soldiers and ships, nor would he be called the overlord of the sea by Frederick II, but no matter how many warships are built, they still need a lot of manpower to control them.

Similarly, shipbuilding is not something that can be accomplished overnight. In the era of wooden sail warships, steel and wood were the most consumed.

The wood that can be used for shipbuilding can't be used directly after being cut in the forest, but it needs to be dried in the shade for a long time.

Only a wooden sailing warship made of this kind of wood can run in the sea for a long time. Otherwise, a warship made of fresh wood can last at most two or three years, and it may be deformed. When the last wave hits, it will fall apart and disintegrate directly. ordinary things.

Although the fleet of Zeng Yunfeng's White Iron Pirates is slowly expanding, it is far from as fast as imagined. There are also great limitations in building wooden sail warships.

This is also the reason why Zeng Yunfeng had to get the bunch of collectibles from Edward Tich in the first place.

A large collection of collectibles in Edward Titch's hands undoubtedly shortened the time for the growth of Zeng Yunfeng's fleet, at least he didn't have to wait for a while.

The wood that wants to dry in the shade only depends on time, even if some simple methods are used, such as manual drying, it is not worth the candle.

Now that Zeng Yunfeng has the Central American region as his forward base, he can naturally and slowly accumulate the number of ships with peace of mind.

But this has not changed fundamentally for Zeng Yunfeng's current situation. He is still a powerful force at sea, but still unable to compete with those land powers on land.

He can beat these colonists in Spanish colonial areas and Portuguese colonies. Compared with the land powers on the European continent, Spain and Portugal are not so good in terms of army strength, and even in some local areas they are not as good as Zeng Yunfeng the power of.

After ruling the colonies for a long time, the Spanish royal family of Portugal gradually began to decline. The extravagance of the Spanish royal family and the Portuguese royal family slowly began to squander the advantages they had accumulated, and they were gradually removed from the colonies by the Dutch and the British. Drive out.

And as the military powers of the European continent began to frequently turn their attention to the sea, North America and other regions also staged a drama to compete for colonies.

At this time, the shortcomings of Spain and Portugal are also obvious.

Compared with these European land powers with a large population base and a large military population on these continents, Spain and Portugal seem to pale in comparison.

The decline of Spain and Portugal has almost become an inevitable trend in the future.

But Zeng Yunfeng wondered how the British royal family maintained its control over maritime power for centuries.

After a good study, he discovered that the British were maintaining this situation by provoking war on the European continent.
