Chapter [-]: Super Battleship Launched

! (Second update! Ask for full order!)

A week later, Datang's first steam-powered battleship was officially launched at Dengzhou Shipyard

With the propaganda of the fishing boat, the people of the whole Tang Dynasty knew that His Royal Highness King Qin had moved the steam engine to the sea ship again, and created a steel battleship that could walk without the need for wind power. All of them were very curious.

Under the strong request of the people, Qin Huaidao also made an exception to open the Dengzhou Shipyard on this day. After registration, the people of Dengzhou can enter the dock to visit the giant steel ship of Datang and witness the birth of this miracle.

Because of this, tens of thousands of people stood on the edge of the dock, all of them looking forward to it, waiting for the moment when the dry dock opened and the giant steel ship revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

Whether a giant steel ship can float on the water, how can a giant ship sail without sails, how fast can it go, etc. These "four two three,"

The answers that have made the entire Tang Dynasty controversial for a long time and the people have been curious for a long time will finally be revealed today.

Among the waiting audience, there are not only curious people who eat melons, but also envoys from various countries who are anxious and disturbed in their hearts.

Even the envoys of the various tribes of the prairie, which are completely inland and have no navy, have not left a single one.

This is a good opportunity for them to understand the strength of Datang, and it is of great significance to the follow-up negotiations between the tribes in the prairie and Datang.

In the dry dock, Li Er and a group of important officials were completely stunned.

At the beginning, the thousand-ton wooden trumpet treasure ship had already amazed Li Er and others, and they felt the great breakthrough of Tang shipbuilding, but the impact and shock brought by this giant in front of us is even greater. countless times

Although the size: not too much, but the influence of steel and wood is not at the same level

The calm and dignified aura alone can make people shudder, and it is more than enough to make all opponents feel fearful and look at them with contempt! People who have always thought they are well-informed, even if they have confidence in Qin Huaidao, are now one by one. stunned, speechless

After a long time, everyone reacted, and there were many discussions.

"This giant steel ship can actually be built."

"Such a huge steel ship has actually come true. I'm not dreaming."

"It's fine now that it's in dry dock. If it goes into the water, it won't sink!"

"What are you talking about, how could His Royal Highness King Qin let such a thing happen!"

A group of important ministers are like elementary school students, each one is curious.

Qin Huaidao smiled slightly and waved his hand.

Zhou Xin and Mo Yi, who were already prepared, took a group of craftsmen to press the mechanism and opened the locks of the dry dock.

With the influx of sea water, the dry dock, which was originally lower than the sea level, was gradually filled, and the huge steel ship was gradually floating.

The group widened their eyes again in surprise.

The eyesight of this group of people is not bad. After coming out, this huge steel ship has sufficient buoyancy, and it rises little by little with the sea water, without any tendency to sink to the bottom.

Instead, there is a sense of silence and ritual

"This steam-powered warship is entirely made of steel, so it can block even cannonballs from hundreds of meters away, not to mention the rock-throwing carts and giant crossbows of foreign navies."

Qin Huaidao, who temporarily acted as a commentator, introduced Li Er and the others in a loud voice: "And its displacement is also a full [-] tons, and a maximum of one hundred naval guns can be installed on it!"

"Two thousand six hundred tons!"

"One hundred naval guns!"

Li Er and the others took a breath of air together.

With Qin Huaidao's scientific reform, all kinds of new units are familiar to everyone, and they all know what these two thousand six hundred tons mean. It is definitely the largest ship in history.

And the huge number of one hundred naval guns made the military generals secretly swallow their saliva one by one.

The power of artillery, they all know very well, the first hundred artillery pieces, at a very low price for the Tang Dynasty, easily pacified the entire Goguryeo Peninsula.

And now, a hundred artillery pieces can be loaded on a giant steel ship in this area.

This salvo is not an overwhelming thunder, not to mention how powerful it is, it can scare the opponent to death

With such a super-steel giant ship, the entire world's oceans must belong to Datang! Datang will be the first super empire in history to dominate the ocean and land, and to achieve a grand scene that never sets. His heart surged, and Li Er even asked: "My son-in-law, the treasure ship before was only capable of carrying twenty or thirty artillery pieces.

"The reason why the previous treasure ships could not carry more naval guns was mainly due to the temperature of strength. Even if they were reinforced with steel and wooden keels, they could not withstand the recoil of multiple artillery salvos. Only an all-steel warship could support it. Can withstand the volley of fifty guns on both sides in turn!"

A smile appeared on Qin Huaidao's face

This is the sea giant he really wants, the steel battleship

Just one ship is enough to easily defeat a squadron of any opponent and retreat completely

And the combination of several battleships is enough to annihilate all the navy of an opponent! A real invincible battleship at sea! And as the steam-powered battleship was slowly pulled out from the dry dock by a tugboat, tens of thousands of Dengzhou people crowded around the dock. They, one by one, also exclaimed

"I'm going, what a big ship!"

"It's too big, just this height is comparable to a dozen or twenty floors!"

"It's unbelievable that steel can actually float on water."

"The energy of science is really infinity, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has already guided us 2
