Imagining the situation where the other party couldn't find a suitable painter at night, so he had to do the painting himself, but suffered repeated setbacks. Zhao Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly, and at the same time he admired Ye Ce Leng's dedication and persistence.

The lifespan of people in this world is not much advantageous compared to ordinary people. Practitioners are usually most focused on Zhenyuan Kung Fu and various sword scriptures. They rarely dabble in many outsiders, so their drawing skills are generally not very good.

Something that was expected.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She sighed softly, put the first drawing aside, and continued to read other contents in the secret letter. As the reading progressed, Zhao Qing's brows gradually relaxed.

unfold.

Obviously, the other information in the secret letter was more detailed and practical. From the array of symbols at the bow of the ship to the layout of the array at the stern, to the staffing and function allocation of each cabin, everything was omitted, which was enough for her to have a clear understanding of the armored ship.

We have a clearer understanding of the ship's internal structure and personnel configuration.

For many years, the strength of Jiaodong County has come from the rich production from overseas, and many of the elixirs of the Great Qin Dynasty, some of which allowed the practitioners of the Great Qin Dynasty's practice areas to enter the country quickly, are inseparable from overseas navigation.

When the Great Qin Dynasty's reform began, the Great Qin Dynasty used its armored fleet to conquer the sea areas outside Jiaodong County and conquered many island countries. From then on, the Great Qin Dynasty's fleet was able to sail to seas unknown to other dynasties, sailing for months without returning.

The iron armored ships of the Great Qin Dynasty were unique to the Great Qin Dynasty and were much more advanced than the other three dynasties. It is said that the manufacturing catalog came from the Dayou Dynasty at that time, and the catalog was engraved on eight golden figures.

This kind of giant ship, called "UFO" during the Great You Dynasty, was the second-level main battleship of that era, second only to the God King's giant ship. It was also one of the most powerful comprehensive talisman weapons in the world today, representing the symbol of talisman weapons.

, the pinnacle achievements of magic circle, metallurgy, shipbuilding and many other crafts.

Naturally, such a difficult ship construction cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if the You Dynasty's drawings include all aspects of construction details, there must be a process of gradual development and accumulation of experience.

The earliest iron-clad ships of the Qin Dynasty were the result of the Zheng clan of Jiaodong County uniting other local clans and harvesting the technology developed by outstanding craftsmen of the seven dynasties at that time, which took many years to develop.

In fact, it was just a scene decades ago. A black armor merchant ship that doubled the size record of the Qin Dynasty ships sailed upstream from Jiaodong and anchored at the Weihe River port outside Changling City.

The wooden boats create a sharp contrast.

On that day, the Shenzhou "was as tall as a mountain, floating on the waves, with a brocade sail and a flying bird's head, and a submissive dragon." The huge figure as huge as a mountain and the cold and cold metal reflection shocked the world and overwhelmed the country.

Watch and cheer and sigh.

Based on relevant data, Zhao Qing estimated that this first-generation iron-clad ship should have a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, a total length of about 100 meters, and a crew of up to 1,200 people. However, it still uses a keel made of giant wood.

, and still has sails as power.

However, with the rapid expansion of Jiaodong County's power and in-depth cooperation with the Qin Dynasty's military, ironclad ship technology soon shifted from civilian to military use, and the entire process became more complete, from the wooden hull to the iron armor

, upgraded to a structure made of steel both inside and outside.

A few years later, more than a dozen brand-new iron-clad warships appeared on the water of the Weihe River Military Port. The ships were strong and powerful, forming an overwhelming advantage over the navies of other dynasties, forcing craftsmen from other countries to do their best to build them.

Some small-sized iron-clad ships were produced, leading the world into the era of iron-clad ships.

As of today, the Great Qin Dynasty has more than a hundred "UFO" ironclads, with an average displacement of more than 10,000 tons. There are multiple models and internal classifications. Due to the partial restoration of the technology of the You Dynasty, the combat effectiveness is incomparable to the early ironclads.

Same thing.

As for the private sector, except for the increasing number of armored merchant ships in Jiaodong County, which are spread all over the Yangtze River, other merchants are still rare. It is rare to sail to the distant sea. After all, the technical requirements for construction are too high, and they dare not compete with the Queen's.

Family members compete for profits.

On the other hand, in Jiaodong County, almost all current ships with a thousand tons and above have used iron hulls, which have become their exclusive symbols and have significantly enhanced the ship's protective capabilities during navigation to withstand sea waves, collisions and

Possible attack.

Ironclad ships are becoming more and more popular in the smaller direction, perhaps because of the cost advantage of steel. After all, the wood that can be used to make large ships cannot be harvested casually. In many cases, it requires specialized planting for a long time, and the selection of materials is extremely demanding.

At the same time, these large ships with tens of thousands of tons cannot rely on sails alone to provide normal speed, but they cannot burn coal or oil. Therefore, they must be driven by magic arrays, which require specialized array masters to helm, command and maintain them.

It’s also a sky-high price to pay.

According to the registration of the Tiantian Division, the armored fleet that Zhao Qing suspected of secretly transporting prisoners consisted of two 9,000-ton armored ships and twelve 3,000-ton armored ships, carrying 7,000 people.

There are more than 100 people left, and the first two large ships are early models of "retired" UFO ships.

Theoretically, some offensive arrays and giant talismans will be dismantled from retired commercial warships, but the heavy stone arrays used to lower the center of gravity, increase stability, and detect dangers such as reefs are equivalent to the echo of sonar effects.

The magic circle, as well as the silent magic circle, patrol sword formation, etc. should still be retained.

The protective runes engraved layer by layer on the inside of the ship's hull and all over the ship's body will obviously not be erased on purpose. This gives the armored ship enough power to ignore attacks from the fifth realm and below, and it can only withstand attacks from the sixth realm.

Amazing defense against slight damage.

Not only is it an almost indestructible fortress, supplemented by an extremely hard ramming angle, the hull itself is also a powerful weapon. The kinetic energy of traveling at full speed is enough for it to easily crash through a city wall dozens of meters thick. Only the Seventh Realm Grandmaster can

can be blocked.

In addition, it is unknown whether the people in Jiaodong County will illegally modify the ship's hull, add new magic circles, hide some powerful talisman weapons, and secretly load hundreds of rune chariots. It is a category that Ye Ce Leng has no way of investigating.

Zhao Qing casually burned the secret letter after reading it to ashes. Zhao Qing turned his eyes to the blue carrier pigeon that was drinking water leisurely. A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes and he said softly: "Little guy, you have worked hard too. Go back and tell Ye Ce Leng

, the plan is about to start, let her side be prepared."

The blue homing pigeon seemed to understand Zhao Qing's words. It cooed twice, fluttered its wings and quickly disappeared into the sky.
