Chapter 1401 Money

...

After listening to Gongsun Yu's words, Gan Ning fell silent, then turned around and looked at Ning Hai carefully, the corners of his mouth twitching unconsciously.

Now Gan Ning finally remembered something.

Ninghai's travel methods are far less diverse than wooden warships.

In most cases, there are only one or two types, which can be said to be pitiful.

The most commonly used one is to use steam power.

However, this kind of power mechanism needs to burn coal, including the early warm-up and the distance delayed by the voyage. There is also a lot of coal to be burned.

If it is a normal operation, then reimbursement can be made and the navy's accounts can be used. Even if it is a bit extravagant, it is understandable.

But in order to satisfy his curiosity and conduct private testing, there is a high probability that he will pay for it personally.

"Xiao Ninghai, how much coal do you burn for a day of running?" Gan Ning thought about his wallet and said with a little heartache.

Gan Ning also noticed Tai Shici's expression, and immediately said, "The public is public, the private is private. This kind of thing is a private matter, how can it be taken from the public account?"

Seeing that none of these people had any objections, Gongsun Yu simply clasped his shoulders, then took out a record sheet, wrote it down carefully, and handed it to Gan Ning.

After all, the navy is a big company, and it only has a little coal money. Can this be a problem?

Then, under the puzzled looks of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, Ning Hai disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he actually ran from another place.

"Five tons of coal?!" Gan Ning's mouth really twitched when he saw this number, but after thinking about what he had said before, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is good at everything else, but she doesn't let go when it comes to money.

It’s less than two million dollars, which is still acceptable, so it’s not a big problem!

Taishi Ci looked at Gan Ning's expression and couldn't help but shook his head.

Under Gan Ning's explanation, Taishi Ci finally understood the reasons and process.

"Now?" Ning Hai lowered his head and began to calculate seriously, then raised his head and stretched out five fingers.

"That's okay. Fortunately, there is no secondment fee. Otherwise, it would be more than two million yuan." Taishi Ci patted Gan Ning's shoulder and told Liu Tong's kindness.

Gan Ning looked at the record above, signed his name, stamped it, and handed it over to Ning Hai.

Not this time, maybe next time there will be!

Ning Hai looked at this attendance record with excitement on his face. He picked up the pen on the side and wrote down his name and chord number one stroke at a time.

Hearing this, Gan Ning's eyes became even more resentful.

You don’t have to go too far, half a day each way is enough. Just ask about your daily consumption.

Taishi Ci was stunned when he heard this, then turned to look at Ning Hai and said in surprise, "Isn't testing naval equipment a business matter?"

To Tai Shici's surprise, Gan Ning nodded, and then explained, "Ning Hai is not under the Navy's order of operations, so naturally there is no such thing as naval equipment testing..."

Ning Hai waved a small bag, then took out a seal and stamped it on the attendance sheet seriously!

"You can't tell, Xiao Ninghai also has a seal." Gan Ning looked at the fonts engraved on the seal and said happily.

With this seal, subsequent secondments will be much easier. Of course, Gan Ning would never borrow such an expensive luxury item unless absolutely necessary!

Ning Hai nodded excitedly, took the seal back, and placed it in his own private storage location!

After Gongsun Yu verified the contents of the attendance sheet, he put it away, stretched out his hand to signal, called someone over, and then said, "Get ready to open this dock!"

Following the order, the dock was quickly opened, and as the door slowly opened, the vast light blue ocean outside was revealed!

"Let's go!" Gan Ning stood on the deck and shouted excitedly.

"Yes, Admiral of the Navy!" Ning Hai saluted excitedly, then directly controlled the steam turbine and started moving!

Of course, subsequent additions basically rely on manual labor to transport coal into the machine!

However, compared to the manpower required by wooden warships, it can be said to have dropped significantly.

The thermal energy restraint effect associated with etching ensures the utilization of coal combustion.

In this case, the coal was fully burned, and there was even no black smoke left when the combustion was incomplete. It was just like a normal wooden warship, slowly moving forward!

The only difference is probably that there are no sails, impellers or other items.

Gan Ning felt the speed getting faster and faster, and nodded with satisfaction.

This speed is much faster than that of wooden warships. In order for wooden warships to achieve this speed, they must be assisted by the secret technique of cloud energy, or the weather changes of spiritually gifted people can achieve such effects.

However, in terms of the upper limit alone, the moving speed of the wooden warship is not low.

Of course, for Ninghai at this time, it is best to maintain cruising status and reduce consumption!

After all, the cost of this trip is the personal expense of the Navy Admiral. It cannot be consumed excessively, and it is better to save as much as possible.

Otherwise, there may not be such an opportunity next time.

Ninghai tries its best to limit the power provided by steam turbines and reduce consumption!

As for the cloud energy consumed in this process, Ning Hai didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the consumption is small, it can be replenished, and the most important thing is that it doesn’t cost any money.

Which one is more important? Ning Hai is quite clear about it.

Taishi Ci came to the side of the deck leisurely, felt the stability of the Ninghai ship, and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, such a steel battleship is indeed more stable.

The weight of the vector thrower really has no impact on the Ninghai ship.

Although the center of gravity is higher, there is still a long way to go before the dangerous center of gravity.

And many ships around the shipyard looked at the steel battleship sailing out of the shipyard, and cast a variety of looks.

There were also spies from various families. After seeing this situation, they collected relevant intelligence and prepared to pass it on.

Lu Su, who was waiting at the gate of Donglai City, was stunned for a while after hearing such experimental information, and then returned to the city with a smile.

Gan Ning had no idea that Lu Su was waiting for him. Instead, he looked into the distance seriously, constantly guiding Ning Hai in the direction of his progress.

Ninghai also recorded these traversable sea routes as his own nautical charts.
