After Alina Rodriguez introduced the general situation of the Continent of the Gods to Zhou Rui, Alina Rodriguez asked Zhou Rui, "Can you tell me about the situation in this world?"

I don't think there's a chance to return to the Continent of the Gods, alas—"

Zhou Rui saw that Alina Rodriguez was a little sad, but it was even more touching, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and made a decision in his heart.

"Marina, I'll do my best to help you, can you describe the Holy Silver in detail?

Maybe in our world, there will also be the existence of holy silver. ”

Alina Rodriguez smiled gratefully at Zhou Rui, "Holy silver is a silvery-white liquid metal, which is one of the necessary materials for the magic array, but holy silver is poisonous and needs to be contained in a special container. ”

After listening to Alina Rodriguez's description of the holy silver, Zhou Rui felt that the holy silver was likely to be mercury, and then Zhou Rui ordered someone to take the mercury.

When Alina Rodriguez saw the mercury, she immediately became excited, "This is the holy silver!" Thank you Goddess of Wisdom! I hope to return to the Continent of the Gods! ”

Zhou Rui was also very happy at this time, mercury is holy silver, so it represents a mysterious magic world, which has opened its doors to the entire Han and Tang Empires.

Zhou Rui then turned his head to Hu Yi and said, "I have decided to keep this Miss Alina live in the palace for the time being, and do not let anyone else contact this young lady except me." ”

The fox nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will arrange it." ”

At present, the security of the palace is also the responsibility of the Royal Intelligence Service.

In the palace, Fox arranged a lot of agents of the Royal Intelligence Agency.

Then Zhou Rui smiled and said to Alina Rodriguez: "Alina, this is the Han and Tang Empire, and I am the emperor of the Han and Tang Empire, which is equivalent to the king of the five major human alliance countries in the Continent of the Gods. ”

Alina Rodriguez already felt that Zhou Rui was not an ordinary person, and she didn't expect it to be the monarch of a country, so Alina Rodriguez immediately gave Zhou Rui a standard aristocratic salute.

"It is a great honor to meet you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Alina, if you want to convert the one-way channel's space-time node, that is, the space magic gate, into a two-way channel, how much holy silver will you need?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if it were the giant space magic gate I crossed over, it might need thousands of pounds of holy silver."

"How many thousand pounds is approximately? The unit of weight in our two worlds is not the same. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I weigh a little over 100 pounds.

I don't know if you can raise enough Holy Silver, if I can return to the Continent of the Gods, I am willing to give you back ten times the reward! ”

Alina Rodriguez said this very calmly, but she was very apprehensive in her heart.

You must know that holy silver is a strategic material in the Continent of the Gods, and the price is extremely high, not to mention thousands of pounds of holy silver, even if it is to raise 100 pounds of holy silver, it is enough to bankrupt the Rodriguez family.

The tenfold reward that Alina Rodriguez said was just to fool Zhou Rui, once Alina Rodriguez returned to the Continent of the Gods, Alina Rodriguez would immediately use magic to escape.

As for whether the emperor in front of him would invade the Continent of the Gods, Alina Rodriguez was not worried at all.

Alina Rodriguez felt that if she could cast her magic now, she might be able to turn the emperor's palace into ruins.

Zhou Rui saw that Alina Rodriguez's weight was probably less than 50 kilograms, so he had a rough estimate of the weight unit of the "pound" in the Continent of the Gods.

"Marina, I'll send someone to collect the silver at once.

Then I will arrange for you to live in my palace for the time being. ”

When Alina Rodriguez heard that Zhou Rui was going to arrange for her to live in the palace, she couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

Alina Rodriguez is very clear about her beauty, and even several princes and dukes of the Star-Moon Alliance royal family are often jealous of her.

It's a pity that now she is alone in this world, not only can she not perform magic, but she has also lost the protection of her family and the academy, in case the emperor in front of her is uneasy and kind to her, she does not even have the ability to resist.

However, in the face of Zhou Rui, who was smiling and groaning, Alina Rodriguez could only say helplessly: "Then it will trouble His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Alina Rodriguez had just been brought into the palace, and Empress Liu Yiqiu knew about it.

Zhou Rui was not ready to hide it from Liu Yiqiu, so he told Liu Yiqiu the origin of Alina Rodriguez as it was.

Liu Yiqiu said in shock: "I didn't expect that those one-way passage nodes in different time and space are connected to a magical world!"

The more than 400 one-way channel nodes of our Han and Tang Empires are all connected to the same world? ”

Zhou Rui said: "Although it has not been confirmed, according to Alina, there are indeed many giant space magic gates in the Warcraft Forest of the Continent of the Gods.

Therefore, it is very likely that the more than 400 one-way channel nodes in our Han and Tang Empires are connected to the Warcraft Forest of the Gods Continent. ”

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?"

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said, "According to what Alina said, the space-time node of the one-way channel, after absorbing enough mercury, can be transformed into the space-time node of the two-way channel.

However, I am not ready to send people to the Continent of the Gods to explore for the time being, after all, the Han and Tang Empires are now at war with the Nine ** Alliance.

And to explore a magical world, we also need to be fully prepared, the beast is in the magical world, but it can use magic. ”

Liu Yiqiu nodded, "Fierce beasts that can use magic must be even more powerful, and it is indeed necessary to be cautious when exploring the Continent of the Gods on the other side of the node in different time and space."

In addition, all news about Alina must be strictly blocked, and it must not be known to other countries, especially those orc countries. ”

"That's why I put Alina directly in the palace, just to avoid leaking any news about Alina."

Liu Yiqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Rui, "The concubine has seen Yalina."

The emperor can rest assured that the concubines have no objection to having another sister in the harem. ”

Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "The queen is too careful, I arranged Alina to the palace, there is really no other meaning." ”

On the third day after Alina Rodriguez lived in the palace, Zhou Rui stayed in the palace where Alina Rodriguez lived that night with the pleasure of drinking.

Then in Zhou Rui's harem, there was an extra blonde and blue-eyed concubine.

After the combined fleet of the nine navies won the victory of Zeyungang, it successively destroyed two port cities in Lanzhou Town of the Han and Tang Empires.

However, before the attack of the combined fleet of the nine navies, the civilians of the two port cities had been evacuated, so the loss of personnel was not large.

When the combined fleet of the nine navies attacked these two port cities, because the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires mobilized more fighters to the periphery of these two port cities, the combined fleet of the nine navies paid a great price.

On the morning of July 3, 1550, Zhou Rui, accompanied by Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, and Kang Huai, minister of industry of the Han and Tang Empires, came to the Ganyang Shipyard to participate in the handover ceremony of the first self-built aircraft carrier of the Han and Tang Empires.

Standing at the wharf of Ganyang Shipyard, Minister of Industry Kang Huai pointed to the six aircraft carriers not far away and introduced to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, these are Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers, with a full load displacement of 37,000 tons and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

The flight deck is 270.5 meters long and 29.5 meters wide, and the crew is 2,880 people.

The waterline armor belt was 70 mm to 110 mm thick, the flight deck armor was 50 mm thick, and the hangar deck armor was 80 mm thick.

It is equipped with 16 100 mm caliber high-level guns, 40 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 26 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 32 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

It can be equipped with 38 imitation Wildcat fighters, 38 imitation dreadnought dive bombers and 38 imitation Avenger torpedo attack aircraft.

The six Birdnest-class aircraft carriers were the first to be delivered to the Royal Navy, and within the next three months, five other shipyards will deliver the remaining 94 Birdnest-class aircraft carriers to the Royal Navy. ”

Long before declaring war on the Nine ** Alliance, the six major shipyards of the Zhou family began to build Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers.

Thanks to sufficient funds and the strong shipbuilding capacity of the six major shipyards, Zhou Rui approved the construction of 100 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers at the same time, of which Ganyang Shipyard only received the construction task of 6 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers due to the maintenance of many full-main gun battleships and battle cruisers.

However, the Ganyang Shipyard is the latest to complete the construction and sea trials of six Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers, and even the Ganyang Aircraft Factory has fully equipped the carrier-based aircraft of these six Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers.

The three carrier-based aircraft equipped with the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier are all three carrier-based aircraft of the Ganyang Shipyard imitating the Essex-class aircraft carrier.

Zhou Rui then turned his head to Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, and said, "Old Song, your Royal Navy will have a tight schedule and a heavy task next.

As you heard, the remaining 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers will be delivered to your Royal Navy in the next three months.

The main fleets that were originally on the Western Continent are now all retreating to the sea between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, just waiting for the aircraft carrier formation in your hand to go on the expedition! ”

Song Limin patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty rest assured.

In the previous training of the Flying Crane-class aircraft carriers and the Flying Eagle-class aircraft carriers, our Royal Navy was overstaffed, and it was absolutely not a problem to receive the other 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers within 3 months.

What's more, the carrier-based aircraft equipped with the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier are no different from the carrier-based aircraft of the Flying Eagle-class aircraft carrier, so as long as our Royal Navy receives the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier, it will soon be able to form combat effectiveness. ”

The Flying Crane-class aircraft carrier refers to the Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carrier, and the Flying Eagle-class aircraft carrier refers to the American Essex-class aircraft carrier.

Today, at the Crescent Island Naval Base, there are a total of 24 Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carriers and 30 American Essex-class aircraft carriers, which have been secretly training.

In addition, thanks to the blockade of the six major shipyards, now the six beast countries and the three elven countries do not know that the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will soon equip 100 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers in one go.

At this time, Zhou Rui asked Kang Huai, Minister of Industry: "In the next three months, can the carrier-based aircraft of the 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers be fully equipped?" ”

Kang Huai nodded and said: "Now in addition to the Ganyang Aircraft Factory, the other three large aircraft factories in our Han and Tang Empire can also imitate the Wildcat fighter, the dreadnought dive bomber and the Avenger torpedo attack aircraft, and the four aircraft factories have a lot of built carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, when the remaining 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers are delivered, the carrier-based aircraft required by these 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers will be delivered to the Royal Navy. ”

Song Limin immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the date of the decisive battle with the combined fleet of the navy of the nine countries be postponed for another three months.

If the remaining 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers can also participate in the war, our Royal Navy's chances of victory will be greatly improved. ”

Zhou Rui pondered for a while and said: "The Jingzhou Military Region and the Tongzhou Military Region have made sufficient preparations for the attack of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, and it should be no problem to drag it out for 3 months."

Rather than destroying a few ports, I hope to wipe out the main force of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy in a single battle! ”

Song Limin immediately said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Royal Navy is confident that we will fight a battle!" ”

With the addition of 100 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will have 154 aircraft carriers, plus the full main gun battleships and battle cruisers of the 12 main fleets, the strength of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will definitely exceed the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Zhou Rui asked Kang Huai, Minister of Industry, again: "Whether the four aircraft factories can produce more carrier-based aircraft while equipping the remaining 94 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers with carrier-based aircraft, I mean within three months."

At present, the combined fleet of the nine navies is equipped with more than 200 escort aircraft carriers, that is, aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships.

If there is no problem with the production capacity of the four aircraft factories, I feel that we can also ask a few shipyards to transform more escort aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy. ”

Minister of Industry Kang Huai hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, at present, the four aircraft factories can already imitate the White Dove fighter and the Golden Eagle bomber.

Unless the imitation of the White Dove fighter and the Golden Eagle bomber is temporarily stopped, the production capacity of the three carrier-based aircraft cannot be increased. ”

The White Dove fighter refers to the French 406 fighter, and the Golden Eagle bomber refers to the German Stuka D dive bomber.

Zhou Rui said categorically: "Then temporarily stop the construction of the White Dove fighter and the Golden Eagle bomber, and let the four aircraft factories make every effort to build three carrier-based aircraft, the more the better."

In addition, several shipyards were immediately arranged to transform a batch of escort aircraft carriers as soon as possible. ”
