The System Made Me a Fool

　　"Sir, as expected!"

　　Yan Ge was overjoyed.

　　Kui Nianyun smiled and said, "How come there is such a thing as God.

　　The matter of Mr. Li Peizhen being promoted to the Admiral of the South China Sea Navy has already spread all over the world, I had a brief friendship with him back then, but now when he is promoted, His Majesty will not be able to use his talents, and the reason can be speculated."

　　"Your Majesty, please see."

　　Kui Nianyun took out one of the blueprints, "This is the most powerful main battleship designed for the Great Wei Navy - the Great Wing Treasure Ship!"

　　Yan Ge looked at the blueprint, just glanced at it, and felt the grandeur and shocking power of this kind of warship! Kui Nianyun said: "The size of this large-winged treasure ship is four times that of the largest building ship of the Great Wei Navy at present. times more than .

　　A large-winged treasure ship can accommodate more than a thousand sailors and soldiers, and a variety of powerful attack equipment and solid defense measures are assembled on the treasure ship, which is as unshakable as Mount Tai when fighting at sea, giving the enemy a devastating blow!"

　　Yan Ge's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it: due to technical reasons, if the ancient warship was built too large, it would be difficult to maintain its mobility and stability, and it would likely become a cumbersome living target at sea.

　　But this Kui Nianyun deliberately made the ship bigger. According to his description, this big-winged treasure ship has the flavor of a modern aircraft carrier, and it may become a truly invincible giant at sea.

　　Hearing this, Yan Ge also questioned: "Sir, this ship is so huge, will it lose its flexibility and mobility?"

　　"Your Majesty's view of the issue is indeed sharp, but I have already considered this issue.

　　The skeleton of the big-winged treasure ship adopts a special structure, which is called the keel structure.

　　As the name suggests, the ship has a dragon-like skeleton that runs through the entire hull to support the structure of the ship.

　　In addition, the treasure ship has also added a more lightweight balance rudder, which can be said to be light weight."

　　"In this way, although the ship is made larger, it is more stable than the original empty and boneless battleship, and it can not fall over in the strong winds and waves at sea!"

　　"As for the moving speed of the ship, the Big Wing Treasure Ship uses an unprecedented eleven-mast giant sail, which can withstand extremely strong winds, so it can ride the wind and waves when the wind is down, and the speed is extremely amazing!"

Chapter 234 Incompetent

　　Yan Ge listened to Wei Nianyun's explanation, and looked at the typical Chinese-style hard sails on the treasure ship, which were exactly the same as the ancient warships of the Celestial Dynasty that he had seen in the museum in his previous life. , couldn't help but ask: "Sir, I have seen from the classics that the number of masts on foreign warships is often less, and the sails are of soft sail structure. I don't know if this design can be applied to the warships of Dawei."

　　Wei Nianyun looked at Yan Ge in surprise, obviously he did not expect that the emperor would ask such a professional question.

　　He thought for a moment, then explained: "Your Majesty, the structure of the soft sail is not difficult to manufacture, but in my humble opinion, the hard sail of our Great Wei is not necessarily worse than the soft sail of the foreigners!"

　　"The hard sail is more efficient in the wind, can turn around the mast, is lighter, and sails faster than a soft sail.

　　Moreover, the sailing time is shorter and the operation is easier, which is especially important for a giant warship like the Big Wing Treasure Ship."

　　"The disadvantage of hard sails is that the traditional wooden frame is relatively fragile and limits the sail area.

　　But after Dawei made Kunwu Steel, this problem was solved easily.

　　If the big wing treasure ship uses a metal frame made of Kunwu steel, and the number of masts is increased, the sail area can be greatly increased!"

　　Yan Ge nodded, and he just asked casually, not expecting that there were so many doorways.

　　He always felt in his heart that the ancient navy of the Celestial Dynasty was weak, and Westerners were experts in navigation, so they always preferred to learn from the West.

　　It's just that he didn't know that the Celestial Dynasty was still a powerful country at sea until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese-style longitudinal sails and Chinese-style hard sails are also classic designs in the history of navigation.

　　In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qiying completed the transatlantic feat in just 21 days, a speed no less than that of regular cruise ships in the United States.

　　The sailing competitions of the modern Olympic Games are all designed with rigid sails, which shows its superiority.

　　Kui Nianyun changed his words and said, "Of course, we also need to learn more about the benefits of foreign technology.

　　The advantage of soft sail is that it can adjust the number of sail knots, which is suitable for adjusting the speed of warships in naval battles, so as to display flexible tactics and deal with emergencies.

　　In addition, soft sails also have advantages in terms of load, and can carry more weapons, personnel and materials than hard sails."

　　"It's just that these advantages of soft sails are not obvious on the giant big-wing treasure ship. When the big-wing treasure ship is dispatched, it is going forward. Only other warships cooperate with him, and he does not need him to cooperate with other warships. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the sailing power.

　　The load capacity of the treasure ship itself is already very strong, and there is no need to increase the capacity through sail design."

　　"In fact, soft sails are widely used in other warships designed by the servants, making them more light and agile, your Majesty will know later."

　　After Kui Nianyun said these words, Yan Ge had already convinced him.

　　This person is definitely a master-level figure in the design of warships. In front of him, he is really like a primary school student. He doesn't understand things. "But sir, I still have a doubt. With such a large-scale warship, I am afraid it is difficult to navigate and drive against the wind."

　　Mr. Minghu watched Yan Ge for a while, then laughed loudly: "Because sailboats can only sail when the wind is down!"

　　Yan Ge asked in astonishment, "Isn't it?"

　　Kui Nianyun stopped laughing and started to paint

　　Draw it, and then explain seriously: "Look, Your Majesty, when the wind is against the wind, as long as the sails are adjusted to the direction of the parallel wind, and the bow is turned sideways, the boat will advance diagonally.

　　It is not known why the ship would still move forward under such conditions, it is just the experience of the crew over thousands of years."

　　Yan Ge saw the picture drawn by Wei Nianyun, and immediately understood: "Damn! Isn't this Bernoulli's principle!"

　　Now it was Kui Nianyun's turn to be surprised: "What did your majesty say, what did you mean?"

　　Bernoulli's principle is actually the knowledge that Yan Ge has been exposed to in high school. Simply put, the place where the gas flow velocity is higher, the pressure is lower, and the gas flow velocity is lower, the pressure is higher.

　　This will create a force from high pressure to low pressure.

　　Textbooks mention Bernoulli's principle when explaining the principles of airplane flight.

　　Of course, Bernoulli's law only applies to 0.

　　2 to 0.

　　In the case of a lower speed of Mach 3, in the case of a higher speed, the relationship between air compressibility and lift has to be considered, and the famous Carmen Qian Xuesen formula has made an outstanding contribution in this regard.

　　Speaking of sailing boats, this phenomenon that seems inexplicable to the ancients can be easily understood with the Bernoulli effect.

　　This is the difference between Yan Ge and Kui Nianyun. Yan Ge only knows the principle, but he doesn't know any application. Kui Nianyun knows how to apply, but he doesn't understand the principle. That's the difference between the times.

　　Yan Ge shook his head: "It's nothing, nothing, I just thought of one thing by chance, sir, please continue."

　　So Mr. Minghu continued: "Of course, when the wind is down, the speed of the warship is much faster than that in the upwind, which is true.

　　However, the wind is unstable, and how to maintain the driving force of the warship when the wind is weak has been a problem that has troubled craftsmen for thousands of years.

　　If we can solve this problem, our warship will be one step ahead of others, and we will be able to win the absolute initiative in the naval battle!"

　　"For this reason, the servant thought hard. One day, he saw clouds and mists in a dream. When he woke up, he came up with such a structure. Your Majesty, please take a look."

　　Kui Nianyun pointed to the broadside of the ship on the drawing, and saw that there were many stern oars that were deeply immersed in the water. This kind of stern oars can also be seen at the stern of the warship.

　　"This kind of tail scull can be freely stretched out and retracted, and its shape imitates the trajectory of the fish tail, and the propulsion is formed by swinging up and down, and the propulsion efficiency is much higher than that of common ordinary oars.

　　When it is necessary to drive the stern turret, the crew steps on the footboard inside the boat, and the boat can supplement the propulsion of the sail by the push of the stern turret.

　　Even when there is no wind, the speed of human power is much higher than the sail speed of ordinary ships!"

　　Yan Ge was immediately surprised, isn't this an ancient propeller, the difference is that it is driven by human power.

　　Nonetheless, the technology is quite advanced for this day and age.

　　"Sir, I have no doubts about the speed, load and stability of this big-winged treasure ship, but I just don't know what its specific combat capability is."

　　A proud expression appeared on Kui Nianyun's face: "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, this treasure ship is equipped with three kinds of divine weapons, which can be beaten and smashed into ash!"

　　Feilu reminds you: three things to read, collect and push

Chapter 235 The Bachelor is Enough

　　"One is a thunderbolt gun, which is a kind of rock-throwing machine. This rock-throwing machine has been improved by me and is lighter in weight. Thirty to fifty can be installed on a treasure ship.

　　When launched, it is like a thunderbolt, the powerful boulder smashes into the enemy's warship, and two or three rounds of artillery bombardment can sink their ship into the sea!"

　　"The second is the winch crossbow, the invention of this thing, but also thanks to the great talent of the weapons supervisor - Mr. Lu Ming.

　　After seeing the Fuyuan giant crossbow invented by Mr. Lu Ming, I was deeply inspired and developed this winch crossbow imitating the structure of the Fuyuan giant crossbow.

　　Since this giant crossbow is fixed on the warship, its power is a few percent stronger than that of the Fuyuan giant crossbow!"

　　"The third is the Flying Crow of God Fire, which is shaped like a crossbow and can launch a rocket. This rocket is like a flapping crow, hence the name.

　　The fire crow is filled with powerful gunpowder, and after the sailors shoot the rockets and land on the enemy warships, the gunpowder explosion can not only kill the enemy soldiers, but also cause the ship to catch fire."

　　"Wonderful!"

　　Yan Ge clapped his hands and said, "With this thing, what kind of god-fire ship in Qiongzhou is basically a children's plaything!"

　　"Considering such a large warship, once the key parts are damaged, the whole ship may be annihilated.

　　Therefore, each big wing treasure ship is equipped with multiple spare sealed cabins, which can ensure that the ship can return to the port in the case of partial damage.

　　At the same time, the vulnerable parts are also wrapped with iron armor, which enhances the protection capability of the warship itself."

　　Kui Nianyun finally finished introducing this big-winged treasure ship, Yan Ge was amazed, this is really an ancient version of an aircraft carrier.

　　"Hui Qing, what other treasures do you have, take them out and show me!"

　　The excited Yan Ge even changed his name for Kui Nianyun.

　　So next, Kui Nianyun introduced three kinds of warships, Eagle Ship, Tiger Ship and Elephant Ship to Yan Ge.

　　The Eagle Ship is a fast-assault warship, with three masts and soft sails.

　　When it is close to the enemy, it will first use the Shenhuo Flying Crow to shoot at a long distance. If it cannot destroy the enemy, it will kill the enemy's living strength by throwing spears and bows after it gets close.

　　The tiger ship is the backbone of the fleet, second only to the big winged treasure ship in tonnage. Its body is covered with iron sheets, and the hull is also equipped with sharp iron tips shaped like a mouth. Once the iron tips pierce the body of the enemy warship, Can cause devastating damage, more powerful than a stick, and does not take up deck space like a stick.

　　The tiger ship can still be equipped with various long-range attack weapons, and there are attack methods near and far.

　　Elephant boats are mainly used for side-to-side warfare. After all, there are no mature firearms in this era. The gunpowder used by Shenhuo Flying Crows is already the pinnacle of current gunpowder weapons. Therefore, it is difficult for long-range attack methods to completely defeat the local navy. to end the battle.

　　The Elephant Boat has the strongest defense ability among all warships, and it is difficult to be destroyed. It is equipped with landing tools such as ladders, ropes, etc. Once it is close to the enemy warship, it can quickly drop the team.

　　Since Kui Nianyun has designed these warships, he has naturally prepared the way for these warships to fight together.

　　In general, a big-wing treasure ship is usually equipped with 35 tiger ships, 8 eagle ships, and elephant boats, so each big-wing treasure ship will form an independent fighting team.

　　During the battle, part of the tiger ship was at the forefront of the unit to charge, and the rest escorted around the big wing treasure ship to ensure that the treasure ship could output firepower safely.

　　Eagle ships were on the outskirts of the unit, raiding and harassing local warships.
