Chapter 126 The mighty battleship

Just when Sir Lothar was looking at the impetuous boy leading the way, and was thinking about throwing him into the palace etiquette class for training to prevent him from losing face to the Stormwind Kingdom in the future, he saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him. That was Kull.

The king of Tiras, Daelin Proudmoore, who calls himself the admiral, is reaching out to pull Zhang Weidao, wanting to go to the battleship together to have a look.

Zhang Weidao looked helplessly at the rude man who grabbed him, and could only agree to his request to go on the ship to visit, otherwise his brand-new Taoist robes would be in danger!

If I guess correctly, this guy wearing a blue-green military uniform and a green captain's hat is the crooked guy Dai Lin.

Sir Lothar caught up a few steps behind and quickly confirmed Zhang Weidao's guess.

"Dailin, you rude fellow! Get out of here!"

Sir Lothar, who a moment ago was thinking about sending Zhang Weidao to be trained in aristocratic etiquette, is now mad at Dai Lin, the crooked king. This guy may have thrown all aristocratic etiquette into the endless sea!

Looking at this bad example in front of him, Sir Lothar has completely despaired of teaching noble etiquette. As the king of a kingdom, Dai Lin can behave so rudely, what other etiquette requirements can he have for Zhang Weidao?

Dai Lin received Zhang Weidao's reply and was pulling Zhang Weidao enthusiastically, wanting to visit the battleship as soon as possible.

Suddenly he heard Sir Lothar's scolding, and he was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, turned around and saluted Sir Lothar with a smile on his face. Although Admiral Dailin was the leader of a country, facing this man who had a lot of contacts,

Elders still dare not maintain their identity.

Although Lothar is just a knight and does not have a high title, he is the last bloodline of the Arathor Empire and has a transcendent status. This is incomparable. Dailin and Sir Lothar usually have a good relationship, so they naturally know this person.

The royal family members of the Arathor Empire were old-fashioned and immediately showed off their hard-trained etiquette skills.

This sudden change in style made Zhang Weidao confused. They must be two people!

One moment he was still smiling and flirting, but suddenly he turned into a polite gentleman. How much hard work he suffered to become this! Zhang Weidao glanced at the old man secretly and found that the old man was very satisfied.

He looked at Dai Lin, and then looked at him eagerly.

Damn it! Are you trying to make me like this? Impossible!

Zhang Weidao quickly grabbed Dai Lin and greeted him, "Hurry up, let's go to the boat and have a look together!"

"There are good things that will definitely open your eyes!"

Admiral Dai Lin also borrowed the donkey from the slope, pretending to be led astray by Zhang Weidao, and walked quickly towards the giant ship on the other side of the trestle. He was already thirsty for the giant steel ship!

Sir Lothar looked at the two movie-star-level guys, and his heart was full of 10,000 straw horses. If he had studied the Analects of Confucius, he would definitely lament that rotten wood cannot be carved!

This depends on whether Zhang Weidao will not only spread Taoism, but also Confucianism. As long as he pays attention to getting rid of those bad ideas, after all, Confucianism and Taoism are not divided into different schools!

As everyone went to attend the bonfire dance, the port area became deserted. Only some soldiers were carefully transporting equipment under the guidance of goblin technicians. Dai Lin was quite knowledgeable about machinery, and he could see the value of these equipment at a glance.

I am looking forward to the equipment that Zhang Weidao will display.

But Sir Lothar was not interested in these at all. In his opinion, these were just lumps of iron. It was a waste not to use them to make weapons and armor! There was also this giant steel ship at his feet. When he learned from Zhang Weidao,

When it was made using nearly 20,000 tons of steel, I felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the legendary warrior's strong body prevented him from experiencing any of the symptoms of high blood pressure, otherwise he would have burst his blood vessels due to excitement.

If these 20,000 tons of steel are made into weapons and equipment, according to the standard standard of one ton for ten heavy-armed soldiers, it can arm 200,000 heavy-armed soldiers. If the Kingdom of Stormwind had so much steel at that time, it might be able to stop the orcs.

attack.

Sir Lothar looked at the giant ship at his feet, and then glanced at the ship next to him. Damn it, this ship can arm 400,000 soldiers!

Admiral Dai Lin is different. He understands the importance of steel protection for battleships. The hull of his flagship King of the Sea uses nearly a thousand tons of steel armor, which is already very luxurious for this era.

In the eyes of most people, this is a waste of 10,000 sets of heavy armor soldier armor.

At that time, in order to get these thousand tons of steel, the whole kingdom tightened their belts and saved iron for a whole year, so they could barely get this steel. Many soldiers' weapons and armor were broken and they were not willing to repair them. The iron pots in civilian homes,

If the damage is not severe, continue using it.

In fact, this is also related to the policies of each kingdom. They are still implementing the policy of government-run steel, resulting in the power of the private sector not being brought into play.

If the various kingdoms could ban the iron and steel official barracks, it is conservatively estimated that they would be able to produce at least tens of thousands of tons a year. This is a considerable amount, and they can be squandered at will. Weapons and armor can be made at will, and ordinary armored warships can also be made.

We can build one or two ships.

It’s not like I saw the steam tanks sent ashore by Zhang Weidao and lamented the waste of a thousand-man heavy infantry.

In fact, these kingdoms have limited iron smelting output, which makes the acquisition of those minerals much more convenient. The iron and steel production capacity of the lava pool below the Golden Summit City can drag down the output of the mines everywhere, and the miners work in shifts.

Entering the mine to mine.

The three of them boarded the battleship and went straight to the deck. First, they went to look at the cannon at the bow. When they saw the cannon with a long barrel, Sir Lothar felt that such a slender barrel was too wasteful and could easily be bent.

, it is better to use the short and thick city defense cannon.

Although Admiral Dai Lin saw a modern naval gun for the first time, he still had some idea of ​​cannons. The battleship's gun barrel was so long, so the power and range of the cannonballs must be amazing.

"Headmaster Zhang, there are only two naval guns, so will their power and range be very strong?"

Zhang Weidao glanced at the two naval guns at the front and rear pointed by Dai Lin, and patted the steel turret.

"The ejection speed of this naval gun is several times that of ordinary guns, and its normal range can reach more than thirty kilometers."

When Admiral Dai Lin heard such perverted parameters, his heart rate increased dramatically. If this was installed on his flagship, it would be absolutely invincible if dozens of it were installed!

Just as Admiral Dai Lin was thinking about it, he installed twenty of these naval guns on the King of the Sea, and then fired a salvo to destroy the enemy fleet.

I heard Zhang Weidao start to introduce the rate of fire of the naval gun, "This 130mm naval gun can fire forty shells a minute. It is equipped with a drum of 120 shells and can continue firing for three minutes."

Hearing this, Admiral Dai Lin's heart trembled. Twenty naval guns fired one round, and 2,400 shells were gone. No wonder such a large warship is only equipped with two guns.

After calming down, Admiral Dai Lin looked at the naval gun and knocked on the heavy turret. From the dull echo, he roughly estimated the weight of the naval gun. Then he turned to look at Zhang Weidao and asked without giving up: "

Headmaster Zhang, isn’t this naval gun bigger than what you see in front of you?”

"You guessed it right! The weight of more than fifty tons is definitely more than that. Let's go to the lower magazine to take a look."
