Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The main design line provided by Xiao Letian was modified by hundreds of Prussian engineers. Nearly three hundred thousand different kinds of parts were distributed to over five hundred Steel plant s, machinery processing plants and weapons factories in Prussia.

In the end, the ship was shipped to the Voltaire shipyard to secretly assemble and produce a legendary warship that was at least forty years old.

Maybe many intelligence organizations in Europe had obtained a lot of information about the Zhiyuan Warship, but even today, Europeans still had not figured out the secret behind the Zhiyuan Warship's cabin.

Why did General Jie Sen go to the Zhiyuan Warship again and again to eat? Was it really because he was too greedy for Chinese cuisine? Actually, they also wanted to ask about the information of the Zhiyuan Warship at a close distance.

But unfortunately, even after trying countless of times, they still could not enter the bottom cabin of the Zhiyuan Warship. The boiler room, the power transmission cabin, the ammunition depot, the artillery shell transmission mechanism … None of them saw these most valuable secrets.

Xiao Letian was very confident in the Zhiyuan Warship. Not only was it powerful in terms of firepower, it was also extremely dynamic.

Four round coal-fired boilers and two horizontal three-inflated reciprocating steam engines, with two-axis propulsion, power of 5,500 horsepower, speed of 19 knots.

No country could imagine that Zhiyuan Warship had 5,500 horsepower, because in the European ship design world at that time, steam engines were the mainstay of sail, and those battleships that lost sail were completely dependent on burning coal, being cursed as a monster by countless mainstream designers.

They believed that a purely coal-fired battleship would increase the difficulty of replenishing the Navy. What if all the coal in the sea was burned out? Let the soldiers paddle?

It was precisely this kind of distrust that caused the development of pure steam power warships to encounter a bottleneck, and this small bottleneck was the most rare historical opportunity for the Chinese.

Today, the Zhiyuan Warship not only wanted to show the world its indestructible steel hull, but also wanted to show the surging power of gold seizing! The end of the Mariana was just around the corner.

Not only that, Xiang Ying had also taken out another secret weapon of the Zhiyuan Warship, which was the Pressure of the Strong Gale!

Strong wind pressure, as the name implies, is to use mechanical blower with great effort, to blow air pressure into the boiler, thus increasing the firepower and instantly increasing the pressure of the boiler. According to the design, once the pressure of strong wind is increased to the limit, the Zhiyuan Warship's horsepower can even rush up to 7,500 horsepower.

Of course, this was only theoretical basis. During the experiments in the Atlantic Ocean, Xiang Ying had only tested to 6300 horsepower and then reached the end, thus he did not dare to continue pressurizing. It was not because he could not add anymore, but because he was reluctant to destroy the boiler anymore.

Pressure of the Strong Wind was a demonic technique on the battlefield, it belonged to the Seven Injury Fists. After injuring the enemy, one would also suffer from internal injuries and backlash.

Because the boiler works under the condition of strong pressure ventilation, the aging will be faster than the normal working condition, the furnace will be easy to be eroded, and the connection of some steam lines will also be easy to leak out because of the long-term high pressure ventilation, so the strong pressure ventilation is a special method that can only be used in an emergency.

It was exactly because this move was too overbearing that in the Zhiyuan Warship's command cabin, all kinds of carriages and watches did not have any wind pressure scale.

This kind of order was completely abnormal, it could only be carried out after the Captain gave an oral temporary order. No other military officers had the authority to issue a strong wind pressure order.

Let's go all out! In the boiler room, sixteen Coal diggers s were working hard, a foot long shovel was throwing coal that was emitting black oil into the burning boiler, the high temperature was extremely hot and hot, and half a foot long flame was spewing out every time the door was opened.

The Coal diggers was completely naked, without a single strand of clothes on his body, his shiny muscles were as muscular as the statues of the warriors in the European Gallery.

The workers near the boiler controlled a boiler opening in groups of two. According to the normal work flow, it was supposed to change shifts every twenty minutes. However, when the strong wind started to pressurize them, they had to change shifts every three minutes.

It was too hot! The entire boiler cabin had already become a purgatory. When the strong wind gave the order to pressurize them, the Coal diggers's people heard a weird howl coming from the deepest part of the Zhiyuan Warship, as if they heard a ghost's howl.

It was because the high pressure blower had started to draw air from the outside and pour it into the boiler. In an instant, the red flame turned faint blue, and the moment every time the steel fender at the entrance to the coal mine opened up, the light blue flame spewed out over a foot high.

At that moment, the Coal diggers felt like their entire boiler was going to burn!

"Satisfying... It was so fun! Splash cold water on me... Keep going! "F * ck that bastard, f * ck him to death!"

With a hong sound, the flames shot out a foot and a half and the high temperature burnt Coal diggers's eyebrows.

"Hahaha, second brother Tu!" Come closer and burn off your second brother's beard! "Hahaha …"

To be able to laugh at a life or death situation, it could be seen what kind of monsters the Zhiyuan Warship were acting!

The moment the strong wind pressed down, all the crew on the Zhiyuan Warship could clearly feel the dragon bone trembling. Immediately after, the battleship suddenly accelerated, the tail propeller's speed increased by one fold, and the rolling water splashed out more than ten meters away.

"All crew ready for collision... Follow the training for safe evasion... Everyone on deck look for cover! "

800 meters, 700 meters, 500 meters … When the Zhiyuan Warship and the Mar Ran Tower were only two hundred and fifty meters away, the sailors on both sides could already clearly count each other's numbers, and even gradually hear the shouts and curses.

"God bless France! God bless His Majesty the Emperor! Revenge for the Molière Knight! Revenge for the Dakar! to avenge all the compatriots who were killed by the Chinese... "

"Jade Fragment Charge!" Kill them all! He would avenge the people who had died! Revenge for the oculi bridge! Revenge for the Head of State! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, the blazing sun lost its light and the world changed color. A soul-stirring collision was about to occur. Suez, who had just entered the sea, had met with the greatest bloodshed today.

This caused Captain Arnold to become hysterical. He jumped to his feet and roared, "Ma Rita! Forward! You are the pride of France, you are the main force of Mediterranean Fleet! If you were to collide into it, you will not fail! "

"Hahaha, let me show you the industrial strength of France! Despicable Chinese people, in the past, you were only a sneak attack on the weakest fleet. Now, let me show you the power of the real France's elite battleships … "

In the hearts of these proud French soldiers, if one were to say that the first place for industrialization was Britain, then the second place would definitely be the France.

A Chinese design, a Prussian warship? Pui … That was a toy to trick outsiders!
