Chapter 2134
With the strength of both sides, the Persians can completely ignore the island country, but Persia also needs the island country to contain the Central Plains, and does not want to make the relationship too rigid, and finally agreed to the island country. After the Persian navy is equipped, it can sell a first-class ship at half price. Battleships to island nations.Although the island countries are unwilling, but the matter has come to this point, they also know that this is the best plan that Persia can offer, and they can only accept it passively.

When the island country Persia was investigating, Zeng Yi and his four kingdoms had returned to Dengzhou again. It had been several days since they got the warship back. Those master craftsmen in the Central Plains used these days to basically figure out the identity of the Persian warship. The overall technology is certainly not as good as the Central Plains warships, but the Persian streamlined hull is suitable for ocean-going design features, which has given a lot of inspiration to the Central Plains masters.

"This is what you promised to be okay?" Zeng Yi was very angry. He planned to sell this warship at a high price to make a fortune, but he didn't expect to see this warship again, which made him very angry. I can't see anything, but the interior, especially the shipborne weapon system, has been dismantled by those skilled craftsmen, and none of them can still be used!

"This! Master Ni, please listen to my explanation!" The governor of the Dengzhou Navy looked at the four of Zeng Yi with an embarrassed face, and said in a low voice, and said helplessly in his heart: "Made, I have provoked whom!"

"Your Majesty Ni should also know that the imperial court ordered the concentration of master craftsmen to develop a new generation of ship-borne weapons. It just so happens that there is a ready-made Persian warship. These master craftsmen can't help but want to learn more about some Persian ship-borne weapons If you can't restore it, I will remove the ballista from the Dengzhou navy battleship and install it for you!" On the one hand, it took the imperial decree and vigorously developed new ship-borne weapons On one side is Zeng Yi, who has a somewhat unclear relationship with the Queen, and the captain of the Dengzhou Navy, the captain of the navy, is also full of helplessness.

"Are they still working on the ballista?" Zeng Yi frowned when he heard what the Dengzhou navy said.

"Of course, the ballista is the mainstream ship-borne weapon. If you don't work hard on it, where else can you work hard?" The governor of the Dengzhou Navy looked at Zeng Yi suspiciously.

"Take me to see these master craftsmen, and by the way, on behalf of Her Majesty's court, I would like to express my condolences to all of you master craftsmen!" In the Central Plains society of scholars, farmers, businessmen, craftsmen are actually out of inferior status, but no matter which industry has achieved Top, that’s different. For example, these great craftsmen are the top warships among the shipbuilders. Without them, Zeng Yishui’s army would never be able to maintain such a long-term technological advantage. They are very valuable to the court. No wonder Persia would be furious because of the death of more than a dozen master craftsmen.

Although the Governor of the Dengzhou Navy was curious, he took Zeng Yi and the others to the military shipyard in Dengzhou. The shipyard had not started construction, and the imperial court had financial difficulties. It had been a while since they had built new warships. Those master craftsmen are developing new shipborne weapons.Although the shipyard is strictly guarded by the imperial guards, there are still more than a hundred master craftsmen inside.

"Everyone, Your Majesty Ni is here to see you on behalf of His Majesty the Queen. Welcome, Your Majesty Ni!"

Among those master craftsmen, there was a few sparse applause, Zeng Yi coughed twice on purpose, and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty asked me to bring a message. In order to show your importance to everyone, Your Majesty promised that as long as If you continue to make meritorious service, it is not impossible for you to be sub-lords!"

When they heard about the division of titles, those master craftsmen couldn't be calm anymore. This is a road to the nobility. Due to class reasons, the scientific research cannot be conducted.

"Everyone, let's report on the progress of the work first!"

With the stimulation of titles, these master craftsmen were much more active this time, and everyone explained their proposals in a few words.These master craftsmen are really powerful, and many people's plans can actually increase the power of the ballista.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Zeng Yi couldn't see anything on the surface. Instead, he sighed, "Everyone, this kind of power increase is impossible!"

"My lord, after so many years of development, the technology of the ballista has been quite mature. It is not easy to do this. If you want to develop it, it really doesn't have too much value."

"You are all the most important craftsmen in the empire, but have you entered into a misunderstanding? The imperial court ordered the development of a new generation of ship-borne weapons, but there is no requirement to develop ballistas!"

These master craftsmen all fell silent. Seeing this situation, Zeng Yi was overjoyed, and continued: "I wonder if you guys know about gunpowder?"

"Gunpowder, you mean using gunpowder to develop shipboard weapons?"

As soon as the craftsman finished speaking, an old man jumped out, "My lord, we naturally know about gunpowder, but gunpowder has many disadvantages! I don't recommend using gunpowder to develop a new generation of ship-borne weapons."

"That's right, my lord. Although this gunpowder is good, it has many shortcomings, especially it is afraid of water. When fighting at sea, if it gets wet, it will basically be useless!"

"Not only afraid of water, but also afraid of fire. Once there is a fire, the trouble will be even greater!" These people have obviously studied gunpowder before and know the biggest disadvantage of gunpowder, and they all speak clearly.

"Of course I know, but these are not unavoidable. As long as you store gunpowder in wooden barrels and open them during wartime, you don't have to worry about fear of water anymore. As long as you think of a way, you can always find a solution , In my opinion, you should work hard on gunpowder!"

In order to convince these masters, Zeng Yi also took out Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt to demonstrate to everyone. In the end, the masters reluctantly agreed to work hard on gunpowder, but they did not give up on the ballista, and still assigned some people to study the ballista. .

Guided those master craftsmen on the road of developing gunpowder, Zeng Yi has completed the task, but he will not let these master craftsmen go, no matter what, he must repair his battleship!Not to mention the craftsmanship of these large fleets, the ballistas they dismantled were all repaired in less than half a day by them, and some guys even brought additional goods privately, and modified them for him, and their power has really increased a lot.Zeng Yi was very happy, "Hey, the selling price can go up again!" After that, the four of them and the dozens of blood-clothed guards summoned by Zeng Yi drove the ship together after replenishing the supplies of the battleship. A first-class warship embarked on the road back to the island country.

The island country is located in the east of the Eurasian continent and in the northwest of the ocean. Its territory consists of four large islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and more than 4 other small islands. Therefore, it is also known as the "country of a thousand islands".The land area of ​​the island country is about 7200 square kilometers.The east and south are boundless oceans, and the current war between the player and the army of the island country mainly takes place on Honshu Island.Honshu Island is the largest island in the island country. It is located in the middle of the island country archipelago. To the north, it faces Hokkaido Island across the Tsugaru Strait. To the south, it faces Shikoku Island across the Seto Inland Sea. To the southwest, it faces Kyushu Island across the Kanmon Strait. and Bungo Suidou.Honshu Island extends from northeast to southwest with a total length of about 37.79 kilometers, a width of 1300 to 50 kilometers, and a coastline of 230 kilometers in length. Its total area is 5 square kilometers, accounting for 450% of the total area of ​​the island country.It can be said that as long as Honshu is occupied, most of the island country will fall into the hands of players.

The war, in fact, the island country was already very dominant, but because the players adjusted their strategies in time, they withstood the first wave of the island country's most violent attack. Later, the player guilds began to use the combined fleet to support the island country frantically. After that, the two sides entered into a stalemate.

During this period of time, the fellows of the Blood Yiwei also made a small fortune, using the two warships Jiaolong and Xueyiwei to help the guilds earn shipping fees. As the largest warship, the Jiaolong can transport many players at once. Zeng Yi alone received several thousand taels of silver, which is much less than the money made by those fellows in Blood Yiwei.

It is also because the players use the combined fleet to transport players to the island country non-stop. The island country knows that if it does not have a combined fleet of hundreds of players, it is basically nonsense to completely drive the players from the island country out of the island country. This is why the island countries will unite , the reason for spending money to buy warships from Persia.

Probably the island nation also feels that as long as it has warships, it can solve the player's combined fleet. Therefore, during the period when the island nation sent people to Persia, the island nation's offensive was much smaller. After that, come to organize the attack.

This plan is very good, but unfortunately they met Zeng Yi and the others. Although they got some warships, they didn't have the first-class warship they wanted most, and there was no way to deal with Jiaolong.So up to now, the islanders still haven't dispatched their navy.

The guilds don't know yet, in fact, the island country already has some naval strength, and even the player's combined fleet. If there is no flagship Jiaolong, the current strength of the island country is not as bad as the player's, or even stronger. After all, what the island country got is Persia, a remodeled battleship with armor on both sides of the ship, the defense is far stronger than the player's wooden battleship.
