Chapter 403: The Ambition of a Big Dog
Heavy firepower, low speed, heavy defense, the ironclad ship developed by the Elf Federation Navy can basically be equated with the Queen of the Dock, unless the enemy fleet hits the doorstep, who dares to expect the Elf's ironclad ship to go to sea to find an opportunity to destroy the enemy, which is no less difficult than teaching a bear to waltz.
The sky was pitiful, Luo Zhengdao didn't know how much brains he had spent before and after, and how many hairs he had lost by boiling wax on the lamp, so that the balance of the battleship's performance could be controlled within a reasonable range. The Elven Federation's handwriting was really bold, and he was in a hurry to imitate it, so he didn't bother to think about what Luo Zhengdao's ironclad ship design idea was, and just piled up resources in one go...... Alas, anyway, the worldview of the big dogs, ordinary people really don't understand! The huge shortcomings in maneuverability of the modified Elven Ironclad embarrassed the Federation Navy, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the Federation Navy to promote reform, and they couldn't wait to gather a large number of high-level mages and alchemists to ask for the design of a new aircraft carrier.
As the saying goes, if something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom. The Alchemy Federation participating in the bidding competition can be regarded as the pulse of the Federal Admiralty, and it is greedy to reach the sky in one step, is this still not easy to do?
Grasping the main point, the Alchemy Federation immediately began to push its own technical solutions, and the seaplane carriers used by the human navy were regarded as garbage, and the imitation drawings were thrown directly into the garbage basket. The low-end version of the aircraft carrier proposed by the Alchemy Federation is to use the aircraft carrier equipped with a flying iron golem and a fully automatic catapult to take it into the air for combat and recovery, as a breakthrough to solve the problem of whether there is one.
In order to overwhelm other competitors, the Alchemy Federation also proposed a high-end version of the design called "Floating Aircraft Carrier", which simply means that the aircraft carrier itself will also become a flying machine, which has a fight with the floating warship that Luo Zhengdao engaged in in Qiongzhou.
With such an astonishing range of technology, and without rigorous verification and testing, it is easy to cause problems, and it is a matter of course that it is not favored by professionals like Steve Shire.
It's just that the Elven Federation lacks everything, except for the money, and the failure to develop new weapons should be paid tuition. You have to come up with some black technology, under the premise of not opening the plug-in, you have the consciousness of planting and harvesting a lot, and what kind of big deal can you count if you accidentally get some money? Gentlemen are not bad for money!
"The Alchemy Federation took the initiative to apply for a huge budget, they wouldn't be shouting casually, right?"
Although Steve Charles is a guy with eyes above the top, and everyone looks down on him on weekdays, his head is definitely enough. Except for the warlocks who rely on bloodlines to eat, the rest of the legal professionals in the new world are mental workers, saying that they always stay in the mage tower and have little to do with people, saying that it is possible that the emotional intelligence is relatively low, and the mage has a low IQ, which is an impossible situation.
Hearing the question from the junior, the Shire master crossed his arms and said with a sneer:
"Hehehehe, as long as those guys get the funds in their hands, what results they will come up with in the end, aren't they still up to them?"
"Well, maybe! Master Shire, what do you think the right way should be? ”
Hearing this, great. The mage sighed with emotion and said:
"If you look closely enough at the sources of these technological innovations, you will see that they all have a common origin."
The elven male couldn't help but lean forward, and said in a low voice:
"Master, do you mean the king honored by the exiles of the human race?"
Although he had met once at Wake Reef, he hadn't seen Luo Zhengdao at that time, and Steve Charles couldn't even remember what he looked like, but this would not prevent him from making a correct judgment. The mage said in a firm tone:
"Yes, only those fools pretend not to see the facts, just as if they don't open their eyes, there is no zài in the world. Those idiots probably think that to seek advice from the short-born species is detrimental to the dignity of their mesophytes, oh, what a comical logic! ”
"Master Charles, what are you going to do?"
The wise man always likes to think about problems repeatedly, and often wastes precious time in thinking, and his ability to act is weakened. Steve Charles understood the truth, smiled confidently, and said:
"I'll use my own eyes to find out what's going on, it's more reliable than staying here and guessing the truth, I'm going to go around the realm of humanity."
Hearing this, the elf male showed a look of surprise on his face, and said dissuasively:
"Master, you know that the Sea of Stars is a very dangerous place, and it won't even take a day for the goblin fleet to land in Qiongzhou."
"Hahahaha, what are the goblins doing when they go to Qiongzhou to land? Waiting to be driven into the sea again by the human army? If that King could be easily wiped out, I don't think the goblin army would be able to wait for today. ”
If a stone is thrown into a quiet pond, the ripples on the surface of the water will gradually spread throughout the pond, and the influence of the traveler on the new world will be similar. Luo Zhengdao, a stone from the old world, after many years, always reflects some value of existence, he has changed the arms race in the new world from the traditional competition of the number of wooden sail warships and soldiers, and has rapidly upgraded to a new stage of weapon upgrading
Under the fresh sea breeze with a salty smell, the pier pier pier in the early morning was crowded with people who came to greet them, and the crowd was very lively, among which there were not many ordinary people. Most of the participants are officials, nobles and soldiers in Qiongzhou, and those who can know Luo Zhengdao's itinerary in advance will certainly not be outsiders who are behind in the news.
"Welcome back safely, my majesty."
Luo Zhengdao, who stepped off the springboard, had long been accustomed to the lively scene in front of him, nodded and said:
"Well, I've worked hard for you all during my absence."
"Willing to serve His Majesty."
After a simple welcome ceremony, Luo Zhengdao's convoy arrived at the palace located on the outskirts of the city, unlike the ancient Chinese dynasties in the old world who always liked to build palaces in the city, after the death of the traverser emperor, the Guangming Dynasty restored the cultural traditions of the previous human dynasties, the palace and the government office, the residence, and the market are separated, and they are basically divided according to the functional area.
As usual, when he returned from a long trip, he had to live in the palace, Luo Zhengdao could no longer nest in the palace or the official residence like in the past, the magnificent palace complex was not terrible, but the scene of warblers singing and dancing inside made him discouraged. It is true that the beautiful harem is the paradise of men's dreams, but when you really stay in it, you know that the harem competition for favor is simply a real man's challenge at the level of eternal nightmares.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle. A woman's mind is still not grasped by a man, a large group of women are intriguing with each other, sandwiching a poor man in the middle, this silent fierce battle has set off stormy waves and drowned a person on the earth is probably rich, is it difficult to kill a man?
In this world, there are only tired oxen, no ploughed ground, caught by a group of hungry and thirsty young women like wolves and tigers, that is really the rhythm of grinding the iron pestle into an embroidery needle!
Unable to refuse to fulfill his husband's obligations, Luo Zhengdao suffered a lot in his harem, and was almost killed on the bed, until he started working at noon the next day, he never couldn't keep up his spirits, you said that the legs are weak, then there is still spirit! It is said that it is much more difficult to deal with such a group of wives than to deal with a group of enemies, which may be one of the reasons why old world men can be pulled into the battlefield as cannon fodder when they are 18 years old, and they can only register their marriage in their twenties!
"Uh, let's talk about business first, nothing unexpected, right?"
Consul Kofi Angell bowed and said:
"His Majesty the King, a qiē is all in the plan, but the consul of the Elven Federation forwarded a letter."
Receiving the letter from the minister's hand, Luo Zhengdao saw the familiar name on it as soon as he glanced at it, he thought about it and said:
"Steve Charles? It was the one who helped us build the Wick Reef Mage Tower. Mage? ”
Hearing this, Drake King said:
"Yes, His Majesty. You remember correctly, it was him. ”
After reading the content of this letter, looking up at everyone present, Luo Zhengdao squinted his eyes and said:
"Why did he come to visit Qiongzhou? Academic exchanges? What do you mean? ”
At this point, Brando Scarlet added:
"I heard that the Elven Federation has recently been discussing a ten-year naval rearmament plan, and Master Charles may want to get some feedback on the use of actual combat experience on the battlefield, we have been at war with the Goblin Navy, and we have a lot of experience in the application of new weapons, which is an advantage that cannot be matched elsewhere."
Brave and good soldiers can only be on the battlefield, honed in bloody and cruel battles, the training ground cannot cultivate a real army, and the new weapons must be tested by war to know whether it is a great genius or a lame fool's design.
Since crossing over to the New World, in less than ten years, Luo Zhengdao has successively fought with the Second Goblin Empire and other forces, and the total number of battles he has fought is no less than hundreds of times. The so-called wisdom is different from wisdom, as long as you get enough long-term experience and rich enough to accumulate it, isn't there a saying that a pig has lived for a thousand years, it should always learn something?
Luo Zhengdao didn't understand what the other party's intentions were on this trip, but he saw the use value in it, and said jokingly:
"I remember that Master Charles was very capable! Don't forget to tell our mage advisor that you must ask him for advice, we can't provide free consulting services. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Is there anything else you have to say? ”
"Well, no, you guys go down!"
