Chapter 118: Your Majesty is finally normal

“This fly-scissor is so beautiful.”

Zhu Youxiao looked at the work he had spent so much effort in front of him, and had a sense of satisfaction.

"It's a pity that in a few years, after the steam engine technology is fully mature, the peak shape of this wooden sailboat will be eliminated by the torrent of the times."

Indeed, this kind of flying scissors was a bad time for Zhu Youxiao.

At the Royal Research Institute of Ming Dynasty, Sun Yuanhua has successfully developed both types of steam engines with all the talented masters and is doing various experiments. The finished products can be released this year.

With a mature steam engine, we can build iron-armored ships.

Once the steam iron armored ship is out, even if the fly-scissors are so excellent, it will not be of much use.

However, the speed of the fly-scissor ship is not worse than that of ordinary steam iron armored ships. It can be used as a fast transport ship, and it can also be used as a high-speed warship to act as a private plundering ship for the Royal Navy, which is even more suitable.

After having this kind of boat, you can set off from Jiaozhou Bay, Shandong and head to Lushun Port. If the wind direction is more favorable, you can arrive in one day at most!

Although you have not seen this model of the fly-scissor ship launching and trial sailing, according to Your Majesty, if the speed of the fly-scissor ship is complete, it can reach at least 140 miles per hour, which can be said to be as fast as a galloping horse!

No, it's faster than a galloping horse!

After all, if a horse runs wildly for a while, it will become tired, and the flying scissors can sail for ten days and half a month before it needs to be inspected.

The soldiers of the Boy Scouts of the Guards who came with him looked shocked after hearing what the emperor said.

If what the emperor said was right, then this fly-scissor is really a super naval weapon.

On the battlefield, if you enter the battlefield at a speed twice as fast as the enemy's ship, you can easily seize the upper hand position than the enemy.

If the enemy ships have too strong firepower and cannot quickly sink them, then driving the fly-scissor ship can quickly escape the battlefield and easily avoid the enemy's attacks.

This will change the current naval battle mode and create a precedent for guerrilla warfare at sea, so that the party with such warships will completely take the initiative in the battlefield.

Although the firepower of this kind of warship is not very strong, it can be driven away by speed, then turn around and continue to harass the enemy's army until it completely drags down the enemy ship.

If it is used as a private boat to hunt down enemy merchant ships on the sea, it would be even better.

As long as you are targeted by such warships, no one can escape easily. Those slow merchant ships have almost no chance of escaping except being captured by the navy soldiers.

If used as a transport ship, the fly-scissors are also super transport ships, which are twice or even more than twice as fast as any other type of ship to reach their destination.

If this is a competition with a commercial rival, the party with the flying scissors will arrive at the destination in advance and seize the market, and the competitors will come late, and then they will probably not even have to drink soup.

This truly mature fly-scissor ship designed by Zhu Youxiao has a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, which is enough to instantly kill most merchant ships and transport ships.

Run faster than others and pretend more than others. What else can they use to fight you?

What's more, this flying scissor ship looks like one with only eight cannons and has little attack power.

But don’t forget that these eight cannons are the new Folang machine rapid-fire cannons, and they still fire the flowering bullets!

In the naval battles of this era, the most powerful and practical one is undoubtedly the Blossom Bullet.

At this point in time, countries around the world have not yet mature flower bombs, so where can they compete with the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire?

As long as the construction of this fly-scissor ship is like dumplings, it will quickly form a scale.

It is quite expected that the Ming Empire will dominate the ocean in the future.

At this time, all the guard generals came over, and Hao Yaoqi grinned and asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, what name should this kind of warship be called?"

Everyone has been secretly complaining about His Majesty’s ability to name His Majesty.

Look at the weird names of those mutated big dogs and fighting cocks, mutated big golden eagles: t34...f1...big gold, small gold...

Among them, there are only the names of the three mutant golden eagles, which is still a little normal.

Therefore, Li Dingguo and the others are now worried that Zhu Youxiao would give the flying boat a more bizarre name.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the warship model in the dock and waved his hand: "This new type of warship will be called the Ming Dynasty Royal Leopard Cruiser in the future!"

"It will become the fastest battleship among all sail warships in the future, and there is no one to be the right one!"

Huh? This time, Your Majesty is finally a little more normal.

The fly-scissor is named the Royal Leopard Cruiser, which sounds very good, and has a reasonable meaning.

Li Dingguo, Hao Yaoqi and the others looked at each other and felt relieved.

Everyone touched their foreheads at the same time, and wiped away a trace of cold sweat.

There is no way, this new type of fly-scissor will inevitably shock the ocean in the future. If the name is not good, it will make people laugh and leave their names in history.

At that time, what do countries around the world think?

How will the people of the world talk about it?

This is a very important and serious matter!

Everyone can't help but be nervous.

Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to be abroad in the future!

Zhu Youxiao ignored what everyone was thinking. What he wanted to do most now is to launch the model of this warship immediately and try sailing.

If you really find any problem, it is easy to correct it in time.

Today's Ming Empire has lagged far behind countries around the world in exploring the ocean. It must catch up as soon as possible and then surpass them.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Open the dock door and let the model of this warship be launched. I must be the first to board this warship today and personally direct the trial sail!"

As Zhu Youxiao used a pair of big scissors to cut off a red cloth tied to the bow of the ship, and brought a jar of fine wine. After hitting the bow of the ship, a ship craftsman next to him immediately knocked on the dock door and slowly lifted the dock door of the temporary dock with a winch.

The ceremony of the warship's first voyage is very important.

It is reasonable for ships to sail on the sea, no matter what method they use to seek good luck, and the power of nature cannot be disrespectful.

The river water immediately poured into the dock and quickly submerged the bottom of the ship, gradually providing huge buoyancy to the model of the warship.

As the river water in the dock became deeper and the buoyancy became stronger and stronger, this new cruiser gradually began to float from the temporary ship platform!
Chapter completed!
