Chapter 2157 Open Level [-] Battleship

The naval army found that the imperial court’s appropriation seems to be insufficient. This is actually because the imperial court has neglected the issue of ammunition. Originally, the main cost of the navy’s ship-borne weapons was the weapon itself. Weapons such as ballistas were slow to fire and could be recycled. Relatively speaking, the cost is not too high, but the artillery is different. The cannon body and even the shells can be reused. Not to mention the war, just the training, the water army is a bit too much.

The governor of the Dengzhou Navy who discovered the problem immediately found Zeng Yi and the others. Although Zeng Yi and the others have contributed a lot to the development of artillery, they are not encyclopedias and can solve everything. They also have a face about this problem. have no choice.

Several people discussed for a while, and the fourth child said: "In such a situation, there are only two ways to go. One way is to reduce the cost of gunpowder as much as possible, and the other way is to raise money quickly."

The commander of the Dengzhou Navy was silent for a moment, and then said: "In the long run, the cost of gunpowder must be reduced. But the cost is not so easy to reduce!"

Zeng Yi said: "The main thing is to reduce the cost. The basic elements of gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal use your brain. Charcoal is easy to say, but the important thing is saltpeter and sulfur!"

"There is no shortage of sulfur mines in the Central Plains. As long as the imperial government vigorously develops sulfur mines, the cost of sulfur will definitely be reduced! But this saltpeter mine is a bit troublesome. It seems that the main production area is in the Western Regions!"

"Western Region?" Hearing what the fourth child said, Zeng Yi and the governor of the Dengzhou Navy all frowned. Now the Western Region is under the control of the player and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations. It can be said that the imperial court has no power in the Western Region. It is not so easy to obtain saltpeter in the Western Regions.

Several people fell silent again, and after a while, the captain of the navy sighed, "These cannot be solved in a day or two, let's find a way to solve the current situation first, the current situation, if the training is guaranteed, the original planned warship transformation It is definitely impossible to complete, if you want to ensure that the battleship transformation continues smoothly, then the training must be stopped!"

"Made, since I joined the imperial court, the imperial court has never been rich and has been in a state of lack of money. I am also speechless!" the third child couldn't help but said.

Zeng Yi also thought about where to get some more money, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any thoughts. After a while, the fourth child suddenly said: "By the way, doesn't the imperial court still have a batch of wooden warships sealed up?"

Hearing what the fourth child said, Zeng Yi's eyes lit up, "That's right, why did you forget about those wooden warships! For the court navy, those wooden first-class warships are completely useless and can be sold It's gone!" For the court water army, the wooden warships are completely despised, even if they are all sold to players, with the current equipment of the court water army, even if the players get all the wooden warships, the court water army will Can handle it with ease.

Old Si smiled, shook his fingers slightly, and said, "No, no, now players have got ironclad ships. Although they are primitive, they still look down on these pure wooden warships. If you want to sell them at a high price, you might as well give them a little It is best to use Persian technology to mount iron armor on both sides of the ship and transform it into an original iron-clad ship, so that players will definitely snap it up!"

The fourth brother talked about this, and the governor of the Dengzhou Navy stood up, but hesitated for a moment, and immediately sat down again, looked up at Zeng Yi and the others, and said: "Selling warships, what's the matter?" It's so important, I can't make a decision, I need your Majesty, the court to make a decision! Sir Ni, why don't you get involved and go back to the capital?"

Zeng Yi thought for a while, "Okay, but I have helped your navy so much, and my Jiaolong will be resupplied in the future, so I have to give you a discount!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ni. We will keep your help to the navy in mind. We will definitely pay the cost price for the resupply of the Jiaolong in the future!"

Zeng Yi soon committed suicide and returned to the capital. Zeng Yi was full of confidence in selling those wooden warships. On the one hand, these warships were indeed not dangerous to the imperial court. It is ready to open the first-level battleship. After all, the game has developed to the present, and the second-level battleship has no way to meet the needs of players.

In fact, as Zeng Yi guessed, there was absolutely no objection to the sale of those wooden warships in the court, but some people in the court raised concerns about the transformation of those warships.

But there is no need for Zeng Yi to say anything. In order to collect money and unite the front, the navy and the army strongly support the transformation. There is even a military boss who proposes to reward those eliminated ballistas and put them on those battleships. In this way, as long as the player uses the battleship, the consumption of crossbow arrows is definitely several times that of before. In that case, the imperial court can earn more supply costs for crossbow guns from the players.

Hearing this, Zeng Yi was stupefied, "Made, if you want to talk about insidiousness, these bosses are more powerful!" Zeng Yi knew the situation of the players very well, as for the players, the guys who get hot-headed when they start a war, as long as they go to war, , If you don't give up the ammunition, you will definitely consume a lot.

On the same day, Zeng Yi returned to Dengzhou with the order of the imperial court. After receiving the order, the Dengzhou Navy immediately began to transform the batch of first-class wooden warships. In order to add armor to these warships, even the original iron-clad ships were transformed. , all slowed down.

With the completion of the transformation of the first first-class wooden warship, the imperial court also began to sell it. The remodeled first-class warship has the same shape, but the appearance is completely different. Not only the sides of the ship are armored, but the The ballista has also increased from the original few to more than a dozen, and the firepower and combat effectiveness have definitely been greatly enhanced.

The remodeled first-class warships give people the feeling that their defenses are very strong, which makes the navy a little worried. They are afraid that in case of accidents, the navy's warships will not be able to achieve an overwhelming advantage. In the end, the navy simply bites Grinding his teeth, he pulled out one of these warships and experimented with it.

The results of the experiment reassured the navy a lot. Although more ammunition was used than the sinking of the wooden warship, under the powerful firepower of the Jiaolong, the target ship lasted for a long time before being killed. sunk.

It was not until it was confirmed that these warships would not pose too much threat to the imperial navy that the imperial court was completely relieved to sell these warships.
