The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 1062 A new type of warship, the Hurricane (for subscription)

On the tenth day of September, Mo Xiaobai returned to Dream City.

First, he took Lao Bixi to ask a nest of beasts in Dream City for advice, and then brought Guoyuan and Li Ji to discuss matters.After explaining the preparations for the war, he asked where Zhuge was.

"My lord, Kong Ming should be watching at the water village now."

Li Ji told Zhuge Liang's whereabouts, and Mo Xiaobai nodded immediately: "It's just right, the navy is the main force in this battle, I should go to Gongjin's. As soon as the city is ready, I will hand it over to Maogong, especially the research of the air force. If it can be successfully completed before the start of the war, it will at least increase the chance of winning by [-]%."

This is not the first time that Dream City has used flying boats to carry out long-distance raids. Of course, Li Ji understands the importance of the air force in future wars, so he nodded quickly: "My lord, I will do my best to supervise and complete it."

After waving his hands to signal everyone to leave, Mo Xiaobai also walked out of the mansion.

Go out of the city and arrive at Heze by boat. Standing at the entrance of Dayeze Village, you can see all the giant ships of Dream City.

"Lord."

Zhou Yu had been ordered to prepare for the battle when Mo Xiaobai came back from Zhendao, and he also knew that Mo Xiaobai would come today, so he had been waiting at Zhaikou.

Beside him were Lu Xun, who was summoned by Mo Xiaobai from the Wu Temple, and Zhuge Kongming.

After Zhou Yu came forward to salute, Bao Huan also bowed in a proper manner: "Disciple, I have met the teacher."

"Ah."

Mo Xiaobai nodded, looked at Zhou Yu first and said, "Gong Jin, what are the plans for the naval warship?"

Zhou Yu still clasped his fists: "My lord, the original warship has been overhauled, and the day before yesterday, two new warships were successfully launched."

"But those two ships?"

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai immediately pointed to the two warships docked on the right side of the deep harbor extending to the interior of Onozawa: "I think those two warships are much larger than the Long Xiang."

Zhou Yu nodded: "As my lord said, the newly built ship is 72 feet long, nearly 20 feet longer than the Long Xiang."

72 feet!
That is more than 200 meters long, no wonder it feels like it stands out from the crowd.

Mo Xiaobai silently nodded, and then asked three questions one after another: "How much is the draft? How much is the speed per hour? How many muzzles?"

"With a draft of nearly three feet, such a big ship is the limit that Ohnozawa can build. If he wants to build even bigger ships in the future, maybe he can only move all the sea battleship workshops to the concession."

Zhou Yu answered the first question first, and then continued after a pause: "Although this ship is bigger in size, because of the arrangement of many rune arrays during construction, the materials used are not comparable to those two years ago, and the speed per hour has not decreased but increased. Up to 31 knots. As for the number of muzzles, how about boarding the warship to have a look, my lord?"

"Okay, let's have a look."

Mo Xiaobai did not refuse, and walked quickly to Shenzhen and Hong Kong with Zhou Yu and others.

After boarding the warship a while later, Mo Xiaobai saw two main cannons standing side by side on the deck at first sight.

Walking over to compare the caliber of the main cannon, Mo Xiaobai couldn't help but click his tongue: "This cannon is one foot wider than the Dragon Cannon?"

Zhou Yu immediately cupped his hands: "The lord's eyes are like torches. This is the nirvana light cannon built by the Weapon Workshop for a giant ship. The general has tried it in Onozawa. One cannon can destroy a small island. Compared with the Yuan-reducing Dragon Robe Only strong but not weak."

"Does the workshop have this sharp weapon? How many doors were built in total?"

"As far as the general knows, only four gates were built in total. They were originally used to defend various cities, but they were forced by the general. Fortunately, the giant ship is strong enough to withstand shelling and shock. The Longxiang cannot be loaded."

Zhou Yu pointed to both sides while introducing: "There are also cannons on both sides of the warship, which are territorial dragon cannons, a total of fourteen."

Fourteen yuan-reducing dragon cannons, plus two new Nirvana light cannons.

This firepower configuration has indeed been upgraded a lot.

Seeing Mo Xiaobai nodding again and again, Zhou Yu smiled and led Mo Xiaobai up to the second floor: "My lord, the second deck also has eight rapid-firing muzzles, which specialize in attacking enemy ships within one mile. Although the muzzles are small, they are powerful." When it can fire continuously, it can fire three or four shots with one muzzle at the fastest time, even if there are no guards on the left and right, this ship is enough to protect itself."

this design?

Is it very close to the modern sea warship of Shuilanxing?
Mo Xiaobai believed that this must be the handiwork of those old men in the territory, and he couldn't help sighing: "With such a huge ship, why worry that my Dream City navy can't cross the ocean."

After sighing, he remembered one thing. He didn't see any engraved names on the battleship.

"What's the name of this ship?"

"I haven't named it yet, please give it a title, my lord."

Seeing Zhou Yu bowed and opened his mouth, Mo Xiaobai twitched for a moment, and said: "Before, there were Longxiang, Yuxiang, Yixiang, Yunxiang and other warships of the same displacement in the Dream City, but the new type of warship built today is not enough. It’s like another beginning. Since this new ship is destined to ride the wind and waves for our dream city, why not name it after the wind and name it the Hurricane. The other brother warship is called the Hurricane.”

Hurricane, squall.

Zhou Yu immediately knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists: "Thank you, my lord, for giving me your name."

"You don't have to thank me, Gongjin is a big contributor to the navy's existence today."

Mo Xiaobai immediately helped Zhou Yu up, and then said: "Although the big wild lake is blue and wide, it is only an inner lake after all. Gong Jin has accumulated strength for the Dream City navy, and has been trapped between rivers and lakes for a long time. I have wronged you." Now that Onozawa has become a factor restricting the development of the navy, I think it's time to move the navy out of this lake, Gong Jin, you should also go to see the magnificent sea."

"The lord said that all the deployment of the navy will be moved out?"

"Well, it's time to move out." Mo Xiaobai nodded, then said with a smile: "However, Onozawa still needs to keep a navy to garrison, and we can't take all these treasures to sea."

"Thank you, my lord, for completeness!"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists again, this time from the bottom of his heart.

Before that, what he was most worried about was that Mo Xiaobai would be satisfied after seeing the hurricane and the two warships, and still left all the sailors in Onozawa.

Although this can become a barrier to the north of the Great Dream City, it will do no harm to the development of the navy.

fortunately.

Fortunately, the lord knew what he was thinking and supported what he was thinking.

He hasn't been out of the sea all this time, not because Zhou Yu is not interested, but because the time has not yet come.

As the lord said, now the Dream City Navy should go one step further.

Walking through the whole giant ship inside and out, after Mo Xiaobai got off the ship, as if he just saw Zhuge, he raised his hand and said, "Kong Ming, what do you think of my Dream City Navy?"

Zhuge has been following by his side all the time, at this moment he gently shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "The momentum is magnificent, I should be the master of the king."

"When you become Master Wang, well said!"

Mo Xiaobai nodded, and then said: "In a few days, these two giant ships will also go overseas to prepare for battle at any time. Will Kong Ming be willing to be with me as a military advisor in the army?"

"Liang, I would like to obey my lord's order."

Zhuge Liang bowed to respond, but Bao Huan hurriedly said, "Master, what about me? I'm going too."

"you?"

Mo Xiaobai looked at Bao Huan and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's still the same as before. I'll give you a test. If you can pass, you will be allowed to go to sea to join the battle."
