    "Compared with the Qixia Country, which has just snowed thousands of miles away and the sky is still gloomy, the Langya Country is bright and bright.  The Emperor of Langya Kingdom and Ma Jianliang, who came to report on the navy's reconstruction work, walked slowly in the imperial garden with relaxed steps.

    The Imperial Garden is very large, almost ten kilometers in radius, and is completely enveloped by a barrier. It has spring all year round, and there are even butterflies dancing in it.  Of course, this is also a medicine garden. In this highly competitive world of cultivation, no one will waste resources at will - except for the real faint king.

    While walking, Ma Jianliang explained the situation.  Starting from going to the Kingdom of Qixia to investigate the situation, it continues to the reconstruction of the First Navy.

    Finally, Ma Jianliang said: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Qixia is too naive. Although a lot of technical precautions were taken, I still saw the internal structure of a steam turbine in a medium-sized trading company in the Kingdom of Qixia. There was a steam turbine being repaired at that time.  I took the opportunity to watch.

    Nowadays, we have also used spiritual stones, formations, etc., and built our own mechanical power based on the principle of wind turbines.  The current power is very good, and it can easily make the warship reach twice the speed of the past.

    ¡°In addition, our first warship made entirely of black iron no, it should be called a warship. It will undergo sea trials in the next few days.  In terms of artillery, we also achieved good results.  The ingredients of the high-grade gunpowder in the artillery were also discovered through the joint efforts of the Xiaoyao sect's alchemists and weapon refiners. It was the first spiritual mineral of gunpowder.

    If this sea trial is successful, it is estimated that we will have the first warship in two months.  "

    "How big is the battleship? How pure is the black iron?"

    "The battleshipaccording to the standards of the Kingdom of Qixia, the displacement is about 1,500 tons, the length is 60 meters, the width is 15 meters, the height is 4.5 meters, and the draft is about 2.8 meters.

    ??Using 60% pure black iron.  The overall strength of the battleship can reach the magic weapon level.

    Although it is made of 60% dark iron, its capacity has been greatly improved because it is large enough.  "

    The Emperor nodded, but still had questions: "I remember that the Zhiyuan battleship of the Kingdom of Qixia is 110 meters long, 19 meters wide, and 10.5 meters high. The length-to-width ratio is about 5.8, and the length-to-height ratio is about 11.5. Your proportions seem to be  its not right?"

    "Thisaccording to the calculations of the craftsmen, the structure of the warships of the Kingdom of Qixia is unreasonable. Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Qixia only had small wooden ships before, and this is the first time to build a sea-going ship. I still believe in our craftsmen!"

    The emperor nodded and said nothing.  But in fact, the emperor thought: There should be a difference between building a ship with iron and building a ship with wood. A warship from the Kingdom of Qixia defeated your first navy. I think we should pay attention to the technology of the Kingdom of Qixia.

    But the emperor still didn¡¯t say anything. In the end, he just encouraged Ma Jianliang and said that if the first battleship succeeded, everyone¡¯s rewards would be indispensable.  And he said one more thing: I think there may be some fundamental difference in technology between the boats made of iron and wood.

    This is a subtle reminder from the emperor: learn from the country of Qixia and don¡¯t be self-righteous.  However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and there are some things that cannot be said directly. It will make the monarch lack a sense of mystery; and if he says the wrong thing, it will be very embarrassing.  Therefore, most of the statements made by high-level officials are vague, but upon careful analysis, the directions are actually very clear.

    It¡¯s just that Ma Jianliang obviously didn¡¯t understand¡ªall he could think about now was the Xuantie battleship that was being built!  He actually wanted to retort: ??There is no difference between wood and iron, it's just that the iron is heavier, which makes the ship's payload much lower.

    But in the end, Ma Jianliang still didn¡¯t say it. Let¡¯s wait until the battleship succeeds!

    After bidding farewell to the emperor, Ma Jianliang rushed back to the port as quickly as possible.  However, the person in charge of the port and the craftsmen looked ugly.

    "What's wrong!" Ma Jian felt uneasy.

    "Water leakage!" A craftsman leader lowered his head and sighed, "General, without using formations or hemp ropes and beeswax to seal, it is difficult to completely seal by just relying on riveting itself.

    Although we have done our best, we have just conducted a sealing test and found that there is more or less water seepage in all the seams of the entire battleship.  Based on the water inflow rate, it only takes two days for the cabin to be filled with water and the ship to sink.  "

    Ma Jianliang frowned: "I remember that when I visited the warships in the Kingdom of Qixia, the formation barrier was not turned on, and there were no beeswax, paint, or other seals between the steel plates.

    I¡¯ll think about it I¡¯ll think about it By the way, take me to the dock to have a look.  "

    Arriving at the dock, Ma Jianliang frowned even deeper.  There are faint traces of water at the joints inside the cabin, especially at the joints of the three iron plates. There is a 'T'-shaped gap. The most serious water intrusion is at the intersection point - it is no longer water seepage, but water intrusion.  Water, leakage.

    This is the same as??You are the one who completes the crown!

    Liu Xinyu smiled and turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao promised before that after a new route is opened, he will find a new orb for me and the Kingdom of Qixia.

    At that time, I would trade the entire Ninghe County with Zhang Hao!  "

    Hong Yunzi glanced at Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu, nodded, with a hint of displeasure on his face, "Well, if you have anything to do, just discuss it with Zhang Hao."

    After saying that, he turned around and left, obviously unhappy.  You are not the one who ruined the good intentions in the transformation stage.

    Taoist priest Mingxu smiled, nodded to Liu Xinyu, and left.  In the end, Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu were left.

    "Be careful!" Liu Xinyu said softly, but stared at Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao was speechless: Look at me. This is the first time Hong Yunzi and I have met. Only today did I know that I have such an awesome and petty master.

    But then Liu Xinyu sighed quietly. She picked up the crown and gently touched the empty hole. Then she slowly put the crown on and asked Zhang Hao in a hoarse voice: "Isn't it ugly?"

    "It's also very domineering!" Zhang Hao said softly, "I promise your majesty that there will be an even brighter pearl here in the future!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A crown jewel was only exchanged for half a year.

    In just two days, the news spread completely, and the entire Qixia Kingdom was in an uproar.

    The Queen's crownhas no pearl.

    The whole news was like a thorn, piercing the hearts of everyone in the entire Qixia Kingdom.

    Throughout history, looking at all countries, this is the first country to take off its crown jewel and give it away.  This is shame and humiliation!

    It is a shame that no sensible person can tolerate.

    After that day, Zhang Hao visited Wu Fanghai, and the old man cried at that moment.

    With the success of the Zhiyuan, I thought that the country of Qixia had escaped its fate, but I didn't expect that something even more humiliating would happen.  Liu Xinyu exchanged the crown jewel for half a year of peace, which was a humiliating peace.

    And the people from the surrounding countries began to laugh.  It¡¯s only half a year, and I¡¯ll be able to conquer the Queen in half a year. I¡¯m excited just thinking about it.  Moreover, half a year is really not much time, just in time for everyone to prepare for war.

    The border troops began to gather, completely blocking the land exchanges in Qixia Country.

    The sea was blocked, the land route was cut off, and the country of Qixia became an isolated island.  Darkness and despair seem to be drowning this country striving for change.

    And the humiliation caused by the Queen giving away the Crown Jewel is also eating away at the hearts of the people.

    The previously brilliant country fell into the abyss at this moment.

    After half a year, can we see the light?
