The voices of tens of thousands of people gathered into a torrent, which was deafening!

The naval generals on the reviewing stand were all excited, and their hands behind their backs were trembling as they stood across the column!

Behind the generals, His Majesty Li Er and the ministers who were originally sitting watching the ceremony had already stood up. Their lips kept trembling, and they just wanted to raise their hands and roar "Conquer the Sea"!

Tang Heshang was also excited. He had invested so much energy in the Navy and now he has finally taken shape. How can he calm down?

After taking several deep breaths, Tang He still couldn't suppress the pounding heart that was beating vigorously. He could only stretch out his hand with this excitement: "I will announce that I will board the ship!"

"Everyone of the Jingzhou ship obeys the order!"

After Tang Heshang finished speaking, Feng Zhidi immediately walked out of the queue. He turned back and ordered: "Standing attentively! Turn right! Boarding the ship and running!"

"Everyone of the destroyer fleet obeys the order!"

Xue Rengui also took a step forward and stood in front of the destroyer officers and soldiers: "Standing attentively, turning right, and running!"

Li Junxian also stood up, "Everyone of the cruiser fleet obeyed the order, stood at attention, turned right, and ran!"

The last one who stood up was Feng Zhizhang. He said to the rest of the people: "The mechanics and logistics team, turn right according to the warships assigned before, and run!"

The naval soldiers followed the orders of their respective commanders and ran towards the ships they had designated.

In just a few dozen breaths, the camp where all the naval soldiers were gathered, only shipbuilders were left standing in place.

Feng Zhizhang turned around and saluted everyone on the reviewing stand and said, "General, if there is no other arrangement, the last general will lead all the shipbuilders to Jingzhou!"

Tang Heshang nodded, said with great difficulty, then turned to the emperor, the Supreme Emperor and the ministers, "Everyone, are you preparing to return, or take our flagship to see?"

“Go on the boat!”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "Tang Silang, at least you can let us see the firepower of the navy. If you run so far, can you see the big ship from afar?"

Tang Laosi smiled and reached out to make a request, "Then everyone, please!"

The group walked towards the barge built by the port.

The Tang River led the crowd forward and explained, "This place is a natural port with a water depth of about four meters, and it is just right for the battleship Jingzhou! It is precisely because of this that this place can only be used as a temporary naval base. In the future, the ships are larger, so there is no way to dock. The Navy is preparing to build a permanent base at the mouth of the Changhe River, where the water depth is far greater than here."

"We need to build larger ships?"

Looking at the giant ship not far away, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but ask, "This battleship is so big, how big are you going to build?"

Can you not be shocked?

You know, the Jingzhou number in front of you is probably less than fifty feet long!

How big should a larger warship be?

Tang He sniffed his mouth, as if he was disgusting the emperor's long hair and short knowledge.

The Jingzhou ship is fifty-five zhang long, which is about one hundred and seventy meters long, nine zhang wide, three zhang full of water, and a displacement of 22,000 tons.

Big?

For the Tang Dynasty, which had never had such a giant ship, this is huge!

But for Tang He, who has a lot of data, this level of ships has just met the standards of cruisers to be honest.

Even Japan can build the largest warships in the world.

Why is it that my Tang Dynasty?

What's more, if the Tang Dynasty's technological development reaches a certain level in the future, it may be possible to build a certain thing called a mothership.

Compared with this, the current Jingzhou name is my younger brother!

What?

Being too ambitious?

Tang He grinned. Without dreams, there would be no goals. Without goals, there would never be achievements!

He took his group to board the "Jingzhou" and finally introduced it to everyone on Tanghe.

"Jingzhou, the flagship of the Navy's Jingzhou series combat group!"

Tang He pointed at his feet, "The total length is 176 meters, the ship is 30 meters wide, the empty draft is 6 meters, and the full draft is 10 meters! There are 2,200 officers and soldiers in the ship, and the maximum capacity is 8,000 soldiers. The displacement exceeds 20,000 tons, which is 40 million kilograms! The ship is equipped with twelve main guns, two groups of the first and last sterns of the ship, and three main guns in each group!

The main gun has a caliber of one foot! The maximum range is twenty miles, the maximum effective range is fifteen miles! The secondary gun has twenty-four gauges, half a foot diameter, the maximum range is ten miles, and the maximum effective range is seven miles!

The main gun can fire two guns every sixty breaths, and the secondary gun can fire five guns every sixty breaths!

The ship consists of eight giant Bashu trees as keels, and the best cypress wood as the hull. Finally, it is covered with a layer of iron plate with half a joint thickness, with paint paint paint on the iron plate of the same color as sea water.

Therefore, if the ship had not entered the sea, there was no way to see it.

At the same time, no matter how many water ghosts dive in such a ship, it will be useless and cannot be penetrated!

The hull is composed of watertight boxes. Even if one side of the ship is bombed, it is difficult to remain silent. What's more, in the world, besides the Tang Dynasty, who else dares to clamor for warships and cannons?"

So, Tang Laosi, do you mean a giant ship that never sinks?

Tang He's explanation made the emperor, Li Yuan and a group of ministers, who suddenly felt that he was insignificant when he walked on the giant ship, were shocked again. From large to large, to firepower, and finally to the inner flesh of the shell, such a warship, dare you ask who is in the world to compete with?

"The ship is still driven by a steam engine."

After looking at the shocked expression of the big guy, Tang He continued with a smile: "This ship uses five sets of steam engines to drive the wheels. The maximum speed at sea can reach 18 knots! The regular speed can reach 16 knots.

The festival is the emerging unit of our navy. It means that you can walk a nautical mile every half hour. It sounds a bit difficult to say, you can calculate it. One nautical mile is equal to 3.7 miles."

Tang Heshang had just finished speaking, and His Majesty Li Er immediately stopped in his heart. However, he always felt a little complicated. Even by relying on the finger hidden behind him, he could not figure out how far this warship could go in an hour.

Fang Xuanling also calculated it in his mind, but after all, he found that he was not able to do multiplication.

Sun Fujia is worthy of being the top scorer. A quarter of an hour later, he first gave the answer: "Champion Hou means that this warship will walk nearly 120 miles in one hour? Isn't this possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Tang He's lips curled up slightly, "To be precise, this warship can sail 119 miles in the sea every hour!"

"One hundred and nineteen miles?"

The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but shout out, you know, the horse with the best endurance can run 119 miles in one hour! This naval warship can actually run 119 miles in one hour! It's incredible!

"certainly!"

Tang He nodded, and was willing to give some face to Li Yuan, his grandfather. He continued to explain: "Mechanics are always better than human and animal power! As long as our ship is enough coal, it will never stop. When the ship is fully equipped with coal, it can sail for ten days, which is converted into a mile, which is 14,000 miles!

How long is 14,000 miles long? It is equivalent to if we take a straight line, we can sail all the way to Japan from our feet, then come back from Japan and then drive over!

Of course, due to the currents, we cannot go straight, but we can really sail from here to Japan for a walk and then come back!"

With the explanation on Tang He, the feeling of being unaware of the harshness lingers in everyone's hearts.

To be honest, I am not unaware of it, but I have never seen such a huge warship, let alone a warship that can run so fast and so far!

His Majesty Li Er just wanted to pat his chest and suppress his shock, but due to his face, he did not do so.

“I won’t introduce the deck!”

Tang He led everyone to walk and said, "There are six layers of ships in total! Coal is placed on the bottom floor, the second, third, fifth and sixth floors can be housed in naval officers and soldiers respectively, and the fourth floor is a flat layer, which is used to stack ammunition!"

Tang He led everyone around, and after the introduction of the entire battleship, the time passed for half an hour.

Starting from the emperor, from top to bottom, those who participated in this naval inspection and watching ceremony were also shocked on the "Jingzhou" for half an hour.

"Everyone!"

Visiting Tang He, the "Jingzhou" smiled and pointed to the ship next door and said, "Are you interested in going to see our small cruiser?"

After looking at destroyers and battleships, not looking at cruisers always makes people feel that there is a lack of beauty.

The Supreme Emperor spoke before the Emperor, "I've come here, how could I not finish watching it? Let's go, boy Tang, go see what kind of surprises your so-called cruiser can give me!"

The emperor and other ministers naturally followed suit.

Tang He took everyone off the "Jingzhou" and boarded the cruiser next to him.

"cruiser!"

Tanghe stomped his feet, "As the name suggests, it is used for cruise and alertness! The battle sequences of the 'Jingzhou' are all named after regions, the battleships are named after states, the cruisers are named after counties, and the destroyers are named after counties! At our feet is the 'Jiangxia', and next door is the 'Xiangyang'."

“Talk about naming!”

As soon as Tang Heshang finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er snatched the words, "Can this name be replaced, such as the 'Taishang Emperor', 'Yue King', 'Jiangxia King'?"

Tang Laosi glanced at the emperor and said, "The Supreme Emperor". Don't think that I was young and didn't know what you thought. You MT obviously wanted the battleship to be called "Li Er"!

Don't even think about it!

Tang He waved his head and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why he was named after the Jingzhou system is because the support of the Jingzhou official name is unparalleled! Especially Duke Ying Guo, during the preparations for the navy, he asked people to give them and things to them! So, please don't steal this name, so how about keeping it for the officials and people of Jingzhou?"

His Majesty Li Er's face looked ugly. Although Tang He asked "Kao" on his face, the words were unquestionably loud.

Hammer, a samurai, made a contribution!

Haven’t I made any contribution? I have exempted your navy from taxes and taxes!

However, His Majesty Li Er couldn't say these words after all.

Who made those words on Tang He say in public?

Isn’t it necessary to be a foolish monarch who robs the spiritual sustenance of the officials and the people of Jingzhou?
