Chapter 2152 Transformation

As soon as Zeng Yi heard the words of the governor of the Dengzhou Navy, he knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately said: "The difference between the second-level warship and the first-level ironclad ship is too great. Experiments on the second-level warship cannot be used as a first-level warship. For reference, it is related to the development plan of the court's navy, and it must be tested on a first-class warship. If there is no problem, it can be promoted by the whole army!"

The governor of the Dengzhou navy smiled wryly: "My lord, we naturally know this, but you should also know that in the current situation, more than half of the main battleships of the navy are dealing with the Persian navy, and there are only a few first-class warships. , once the modification experiment fails, we will lose a main battleship, and we will not be able to replenish it in a short time, our navy cannot take that risk!"

Zeng Yi pretended to be distressed, frowned and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, use my Jiaolong to experiment!"

"Jiaolong!" The captain of the Dengzhou Navy looked at Zeng Yi in surprise.Zeng Yi's Jiaolong is very famous whether it is among the players or the NPC court, especially the court water army. Who doesn't know that Zeng Yi has a first-class ironclad ship, even the most powerful among the first-class ironclad ships.The Jiaolong originally had a large displacement. At that time, it was the first ironclad ship to be refitted for the first time. In order to experiment with new technologies, those shipbuilders piled technology on the Jiaolong regardless of the cost. The problem is that some technologies that are not cost-effective have been abandoned. In comparison, the combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as that of the Jiaolong.

"Ni, Mr. Ni, are you really willing to take out the Jiaolong to experiment?"

Zeng Yi looked upright, "As an official of the imperial court, I am equal to the imperial court's prosperity and prosperity, and my position today depends on His Majesty's trust. If the imperial court is in trouble and needs the Jiaolong, I will naturally say nothing Already!"

The commander of the Dengzhou navy, he got up from his chair, stood in front of Zeng Yi, and bowed deeply to Zeng Yi, "My lord, I represent the navy, thank you sir! Our navy will not Forget the contribution your lord has made to the development of the navy!"

"Hey, the governor is being polite, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so the matter of the navy is naturally the matter of my nephew!"

On the same day, a few people found the master shipbuilders in the shipyard and asked them to start researching the modification plan according to the characteristics of the Jiaolong.

Since the battleship is powered by wind, and the range of a single cannon is not enough to cause effective damage to an enemy ship, it is necessary to arrange as many cannons as possible on the battleship.

It was also the first time for those master craftsmen to come into contact with such new weapons, and they didn't know the best plan. At first, they just wanted to replace the ballistas and other weapons on the deck of the Jiaolong with artillery, but Zeng Yi only glanced at this plan. It was rejected, let’s not talk about those ship-borne weapons except ballistas, they are all the most advanced weapons of the Mo family, such as borrowing cars, etc. Even in the era of artillery, they are still very powerful in killing personnel, Zeng Yi and Don't want to replace it.

Zeng Yi is not satisfied with the cannons installed. Even though Zeng Yi doesn't know much about warships, he also knows through movies and games that ancient sailing warships are equipped with a lot of cannons, especially large warships. , Take the -class sailing battleship as an example. This class of warship generally serves as the flagship of the fleet. It has three artillery decks, 106 to 122 artillery pieces, a crew of more than 875, and a displacement of 2500-3500 tons. It is simply a "sea fortress."You must know that the Jiaolong is bigger and more advanced than the first-class sailing battleship in reality. According to Zeng Yi's idea, it needs at least 150 artillery pieces.

Zeng Yi was still dissatisfied with the changes made by the master craftsmen of the Dengzhou Navy Shipyard several times. In the end, Zeng Yi was forced to have no choice but to go to reality and memorize the artillery layout of the sailing battleship.Although in the game, there must be some settings, which cannot be completely set according to reality, but there are still some references.

After learning of Zeng Yi's idea, those master craftsmen came up with another plan according to the structure of their Jiaolong. This plan increased the number of artillery rapidly, and there were dozens of artillery pieces.

In fact, Zeng Yi was not very satisfied at the beginning. After all, those first-class sailing battleships in reality all had a hundred guns, but the more advanced Jiaolong only had dozens of cannons. He was really not satisfied.

But those master craftsmen also said that this is the best plan they can come up with under the current situation. As for the hundreds of cannons that Zeng Yi said, it is not impossible, and it is even better than the current plan. Save money, but you need to reduce the number of large-caliber main guns and add some small-caliber artillery, so that the number of artillery can reach more than one hundred.

Only then did Zeng Yi know that most of the artillery equipped on the Jiaolong reconstruction plan were large-caliber main guns, and the firepower definitely exceeded that of the plan for artillery with a height of more than 100 meters. Firepower and new tactics are used in this way. It is definitely not the case when the imperial court navy changes their equipment. The number of main guns must be reduced, otherwise the navy will not have the money to change them all.

After hearing these words, Zeng Yi naturally had no opinion, and immediately asked those master craftsmen to start refitting. The Jiaolong was disassembled in a few days. Regarding the shipboard weapons on the Jiaolong, Zeng Yi Yi specially ordered those master craftsmen to keep the other equipment on the deck except the ballista.

Although the several ballistas of the Jiaolong were eliminated, for other players, these are the main battleships of the Central Plains Navy. They are absolutely powerful. Zeng Yi immediately contacted Baiyin out of his character of not wasting money. The empire auctioned off those ship-borne ballistas.

Players who didn't know the truth thought that Zeng Yi couldn't handle it, and even sold the main weapon of the Jiaolong. One by one, they even started asking Zeng Yi if he wanted to sell the Jiaolong. Even Hua Qianyuexia sent pigeons to ask Is he crazy? Zeng Yi can only tell her that he just changed to some more powerful main guns. She didn't think much about it. Bian has already started playing with the cannon giant ship!

To say that Zeng Yi is the happiest selling the main cannon, or those guys from the Bloody Guards. After such a long time, these guys have gained a lot of benefits by relying on the Jiaolong, and they are also very aware of the power of the Jiaolong. Knowing that Zeng Yi Selling the main cannon, these guys thought that Zeng Yi was bankrupt, and they were going to donate money to help Zeng Yi tide over the difficulties, and persuade him not to sell the Jiaolong.
