Chapter 70, A Subtle Misunderstanding
Shadev smiled. Insert the command knife into the scabbard. The order was given: "The whole ship will launch a counter-attack on the enemy fleet." All naval guns were aimed at the enemy fleet. The soldiers of the Seventh Fleet, now is the time to show your loyalty, hold the weapons in our hands, and serve the kingdom for the last time - rush. ”
All the crystal cannons roared and fired. Most of those huge fireballs and ice bombs detonated the flying dragon slaying missiles in mid-air, only to be overwhelmed by the explosion. A small number of frigates hit the aircraft carrier formation, leaving large holes in the deck of the battleship.
And under Zheng Xiyuan's order, all 120 frigates' beam main guns were also fired. Countless gunboats on the Yasis side were hit, and the hull of the ship was directly pierced by the beam cannons. The bottom of the ship began to enter the water, and the heaviest slowly sank.
Numerous bombers swooped down. Along the way, countless warships were blown up, but Shadev turned a deaf ear and still ordered the fleet to abandon those comrades who were slowly struggling on the surface of the sea and rush forward at full speed. The magic crystal cannons on the battleship fired a volley of cannons.
Under his desperate fighting style, Zheng Xiyuan was surprised to find that two of his frigates had lost their combat effectiveness. Eventually, the second round of beam guns was fired again after a brief period of energy accumulation. This time, the flagship of the Seventh Fleet was also among the guns, completely losing power and unable to move forward, and the hull began to sink slowly.
In the cockpit of the legendary mecha, Andre choked back tears, glanced back at the bridge of the flagship, and suddenly shouted: "Rush with Lao Tzu." ”
More than fifty golden mechs took off from the soon-to-be-sunk flagship. bypassing Zheng Xiyuan's aircraft carrier formation, they shot down another wave of dragon-slaying missiles that hit them. Finally, he succeeded in leaving the aircraft carrier fleet behind and flew towards the northern coast of the Kingdom of Yassi.
Zheng Xiyuan looked at the golden mecha that flew away, although he understood that he was being put aside. But I also feel that I have lost unjustly. The entire Seventh Fleet gave these more than fifty golden mechs as shields in the way of the charge.
Otherwise, if the more than 50 golden mechs took off directly from Victoria Harbor and rushed to the aircraft carrier fleet outside the harbor, the result could be imagined. It won't be long before they are intercepted by missiles. If I use the Aegis Gundam troops at hand to delay a little, it will only be a matter of time before those fifty golden mechs are shot down by the main force outflanked from the rear.
But as they are now, they suddenly rushed out of the battleship that was about to sink. Who could have predicted that?
Shadev Hacknir, the first admiral of the Yasis Dynasty, Zheng Xiyuan thought that he would probably remember this name in the future, he stood up and saluted the slowly sinking Seventh Fleet.
On the bridge of the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, Shadev, of course, did not know that in the distance, the supreme commander of all the enemy's armies was saluting him. He just looked at the golden mecha troops in the distance and smiled. There, the most elite Golden Knight of the Kingdom Navy and the bravest general of the Kingdom Navy.
A bomber suddenly fell from the sky, and the falling bomb fell on the bridge of the flagship. A generation of famous generals Shajeff has been buried in this sea for a long time.
Soon, the dawn will fall on Victoria Harbour, and the sound of artillery fire in the battle will gradually calm down, and the sporadic resistance of the remnants of the opposing forces in Victoria Harbour is becoming more and more weak.
Although Zheng Xiyuan's air raid tactics seem to have worked wonders. However, under the huge numerical superiority of the Assis army, the Principality of Luoyu still suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the more than 7,000 armed robots were damaged, and more than 15,000 artillery combat armed mecha units were also damaged in the fierce artillery battle, leaving only more than 10,000.
Even the 397 bombers that entered the battle for the first time were shot down by the enemy's naval guns, and 83 were shot down. Hit by the powerful magic crystal cannon, the pilot in the cabin had no possibility of escaping at all. Eighty-three blue-clad pilots were killed on the spot, and their names will be inscribed on a stone tablet in the central square of the Duke's capital. As a hero who died for the rise of the Principality of Falling Feather.
However, Zheng Xiyuan was unable to carefully search for their bodies at sea. Through satellite pictures, he knew that Yassi's main army was already heading towards Victoria Harbour. Not daring to stay longer, after ordering the troops to destroy Victoria Harbour, he quickly gathered the remnants of his army and withdrew to Tianxing Harbor.
The aircraft carrier formation, equipped with the E-class spiritual kinetic device, was extremely fast, and it was soon a long distance away from Victoria Harbour. I think the other party can't catch up.
He Song, the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Shenyin Empire, came to Zheng Xiyuan's aircraft carrier on a fast ship at this time: "Zheng Gongzi, the Holy Lord has just sent a magic letter, asking me to invite you to the imperial capital to discuss future military purchases. ”
Zheng Xiyuan thought for a while: "The holiness of the saint, of course the contemptible people dare not refuse, but there are still some important things to do, can you wait until Xiyuan finishes these trivial matters and goes to the capital of your country to meet the saint?"
He Song smiled: "This is natural, but please ask Zheng Gongzi to hurry up a little, Your Majesty is also like me, and I am very much looking forward to this military purchase." ”
Zheng Xiyuan smiled and did not answer. The Holy Light Empire and Buffy are inextricably fighting, if it were under normal circumstances, the Divine Hidden Empire would naturally be eager to take advantage of the time when the two former enemies were alive and dead, and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. However, at this time, if you can buy a batch of powerful weapons from yourself, then the emperor of the Shenyin Empire will naturally pay attention to the fisherman's profits.
But the more he is like this, the more Zheng Xiyuan doesn't plan to let him get his satisfaction easily, if he is not in a hurry, how can he sit on the ground and start the price?
What's more, Zheng Xiyuan looked at the disillusioned butterfly in the palm of his hand, and the news he had just received also made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Three days later, Zheng Xiyuan officially returned to the Principality of Luoyu. Ribbon cutting for six newly established factories. Of the six factories, five are rubber parts manufacturers and one is ceramic parts.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Luoyu Bank, Zheng Xiyuan asked Li Li to approve the low-interest loan of 3 billion Luoyu coins to the industries established by the six nobles.
But these six factories are not for civilian use. Rather, it helped Zheng Xiyuan to produce insulating materials for various weapons.
Earlier, Zheng Xiyuan understood that the warhead of the missile could actually be replaced with a hard ceramic material. This would not only improve the safety of the missiles, but also reduce his huge expenditure on metal procurement.
At the same time, the same is true for the Aegis Gundam. Replacing certain internal parts with hard pottery can reduce the weight of the body and speed up flight. Naturally, in terms of cost......
However, because ceramic materials are not like metal materials, they can be imported as a whole and then cut and used, but they must be plasticized when they are fired. In this way, many problems that require improvisation cannot be solved by relying on fixed programs for industrial robots alone, and Zheng Xiyuan himself does not have the energy to pay attention to this aspect all the time, so the idea of manufacturing ceramic materials has only been choked in Zheng Xiyuan's heart and has not really been implemented.
But now that the Duchy of Luoyu has been defeated, Zheng Xiyuan has a large number of workers. There is also a nobleman who can be entrusted to help him manage and solve all kinds of trivial matters on his behalf. Then this plan was naturally immediately rethought by him. Robots help to manufacture various sets of equipment, and clay is produced in the local area of Luoyu, after Zheng Xiyuan provided various technical points. The only cost of the factory is the manpower that the Duchy of Falling Feather is currently quite rich.
Of course, Zheng Xiyuan will not squeeze the labor of workers because there is a lot of idle manpower at present. Before approving a huge loan, he also made hard demands on the six nobles in charge of the factory. Each worker must earn at least 500 yuan per month. To this end, he also made certain concessions, raising the purchase price of each ton of ceramics in the military factory to about 30 yuan in the future.
Don't doubt it, this price looks cheap, but for hard pottery with the same high production and demand (after all, it is not a work of art, just a rather hard military material that burns paper), it is already very high. However, Zheng Xiyuan doesn't care, and less than one-third of the 50 billion Luoyu coins printed have been loaned out.
Thinking about the long-term war, the nobles of the Duchy of Luoyu are not very rich. There are very few properties that can be pledged in hand. At present, more than 10 billion can be loaned, which is the result of Zheng Xiyuan asking Li Li to increase the appraisal price of the land in the Luoyu Principality.
Therefore, Zheng Xiyuan can still call a lot of falling feather coins at present. And these aristocrats took the feather coins, and the main expenditure was only to pay the wages of the workers. There is no need to exchange Feather Coins for Gold Coins to purchase materials from abroad.
And rubber has always been something that Zheng Xiyuan entrusted Xue Ruolan to buy in large quantities on the mainland, and it needs to be used in all kinds of machinery. Originally, he wanted to be content with the status quo and purchase from the mainland.
However, when I learned by chance that there was a nobleman who could get a large number of rubber tree seedlings in the Tian Yuan Continent. Zheng Xiyuan finally decided to fund him to transplant a large number of rubber trees to the Duchy of Fallen Feather for planting and extraction. The northern part of the Duchy with its warm climate is ideal for the growth of rubber trees. Therefore, this rubber parts production plant with a loan of 1.5 billion Luoyu coins (150 million gold coins) from Zheng Xiyuan is also located in the northern part of the Luoyu Principality.
The nobleman eventually spent 50 million gold coins to import more than 10,000 rubber tree seedlings, and hired a group of natural magicians from the mainland to ripen them at a high annual salary of hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Thinking about it, it won't be long before Zheng Xiyuan can see the rubber made in the Luoyu Principality.
The cultivation of rubber trees also inspired Zheng Xiyuan to decree the abolition of all arable land used for growing grain in the country. Without the help of nature's magic, ordinary people would be a waste of land and manpower to grow cheap food on the continent. Moreover, farming is also very different from the industrial country envisioned by Zheng Xiyuan. Naturally, it was abolished by Zheng Xiyuan without hesitation.
In order to implement this order, the Minister of Justice and others naturally jumped up and down busily, but Zheng Xiyuan couldn't control him so much. Walking in the courtyard of the palace, he said to the two brothers He Yao and He Cheng beside him: "I want to go back to Donglin, and you two should go back with me." Before you go back, you two eat this. ”
Zheng Xiyuan took out two myelin-washing pills and handed them to He Yao and He Cheng. The two of them did not suspect him, and took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp. They have already been cursed by Zheng Xiyuan, Zheng Xiyuan can wipe them out with a single thought, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome to kill them?
However, what happened next made their faces change drastically, and they rushed to the latrine. Zheng Xiyuan didn't forget to shout in the back: "Remember not to use the toilet in the palace." Otherwise, how will I use it in the future?"
The two of them were furious in their hearts, then you still give us laxatives, but Zheng Xiyuan's blood curse made them unable to disobey. I can only tighten the chrysanthemum and run to the toilet outside the palace.
Gong Yuluo, who was walking on the side, gave them a strange look, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
"Do things you would never want to know. Zheng Xiyuan smiled.
Gong Yuluo blushed and spat lightly, of course he didn't believe Zheng Xiyuan's words: "Even if you go to do something bad, you will instigate it, right?"
Zheng Xiyuan laughed evilly: "Of course, you have to do bad things yourself." As he spoke, he glanced at the huge mountain peak under Gong Yuluo's dress, without the restraint of a heavy breastplate, those two things were unexpectedly huge.
"Look, you pervert?" Gong Yuluo was startled by Zheng Xiyuan's eyes, and took a big step back with a red face and hugged his chest.
Gong Yuluo, who was heroic on the battlefield, looked shy at the moment, which made Zheng Xiyuan want to do something to her. He suddenly took a step forward and kissed the cherry lips facing her, Gong Yuluo struggled, but her strength was only the difference between ants and elephants to Zheng Xiyuan. Naturally, the hands were easily pressed against the walls of the corridor.
Zheng Xiyuan sucked her little mouth unscrupulously. At the same time, the tongue pried open her teeth, and went deep lightly, stirring the fragrance in her mouth.
After the kiss, Zheng Xiyuan said in a low voice: "Of course, it's the place to see the perverted fiancé......"
"Let go of me......" Gong Yuluo's voice was very soft, and he shook off Zheng Xiyuan's hand holding her. Because Zheng Xiyuan also relaxed his strength at the moment, he was easily freed by her.
Glaring at Zheng Xiyuan in annoyance, Gong Yuluo ran across the corridor, and after a while, she flashed into the room where she lived, and fell on her bed. Burying her head in the soft pillow, her long inky hair spread out on the quilt, and her onion fingers gently caressed the lips that had been kissed by Zheng Xiyuan. Is he serious about that engagement? He admits that he is his fiancée, his real fiancée......
Oh no, he didn't think he hated him when he ran back like this? She lay on the bed for a long time, not moving, trying to go out to explain, but she didn't.
Outside the corridor, Zheng Xiyuan looked at her back in a daze, was he too anxious? Frankly speaking, whether it was fighting and doing scientific research or playing some conspiracy tricks, he was quite good at it, but how could he, who had rarely had contact with women in the thousands of years, understand the hearts of girls?
He didn't know that Gong Yuluo, who had always been with swords and armies in his previous life, was even more overwhelmed by the feelings he had in his heart. The two of them fell into chagrin at the same time because of a subtle misunderstanding.
