Chapter 180: The Sea Falcon Warship
The hooded man snorted coldly, his body straightened, and he turned to leave.
He walked all the way to a remote mansion and removed his hat to reveal a face wearing a grimace mask, the Assassination Society's Grimace Emissary, who had been monitoring the dungeon lately as the day of action approached.
After seeing Su Liuying in and out of the prison several times, he was suspicious and followed. However, since he knew that this woman was related to the Qi Palace, and it had nothing to do with his plan, he didn't pay much attention to it.
In the middle of the room was a portrait of the head of a dog, and the masked man folded his hands and bowed down reverently: "May the king of Pan bless me and wait for this operation to go smoothly." ”
……
Hui'an Mansion, Xin'an Water Village.
On top of a huge warship, Yu Xun was carefully observing the giant cloud crossbow erected on the warship, which was the first masterpiece of the Engineer Workshop, the new sea falcon ship.
The hull is nearly 30 zhang long, 10 zhang wide, the head is low and the tail is high, the front of the hull is wide and the back is narrow, the cabin is surrounded by cowhide on the left and right to form a city*, which can be fireproof and waveproof, and the city * is equipped with a half-person high female *, and the giant cloud crossbow is carried on the female *.
In fact, Lu Yun'er has put his research direction on the use of gunpowder at this time, and has also come up with many ideas, but there are still flaws that need to be slowly improved.
But now that the war is approaching, there is not much time for her to study, so she thinks about carrying the cloud crossbow on the warship, so there is this latest Yunhu warship.
Lu Yun'er was explaining to Yu Xun on the side, and said: "This giant cloud crossbow can shoot fifty arrows in a row, with a range of two hundred and fifty meters, and an effective range of one hundred and thirty meters. ”
Yu Xun looked at the repeater with a stern face, silent, and Lu Yun'er asked, "General Yu, is there something wrong?" ”
Yu Xun glanced at the cloud crossbow a few times, and then looked at Lu Yun'er, it was really unbelievable that such a terrible warship was actually conceived by such an inconspicuous little girl and another old man.
Although he hadn't tried the power of the giant cloud crossbow yet, just by seeing the complex structure, it could give people a strange sense of power.
Lu Yun'er blinked and asked, "General Yu, what's wrong?" ”
Yu Xun looked at the sea and was silent, he had been at sea for nearly twenty years, and he had seen a bigger ship than this, but in terms of the sturdiness of the ship and the power of the weapon, it was not the same ship, it could be said that this was the most powerful sea beast he had ever seen.
He still underestimated Hui'an Mansion before, and in terms of the scale of the navy, although it was far inferior to Wu Yue, it was already above Wu Yue in terms of shipbuilding technology.
Thinking of this, his heart began to come alive, if there were more warships like this, it seemed that he could do something bigger.
Lu Yun'er thought that Yu Xun was not satisfied with the warship, and asked Xiao Shilang: "Captain Xiao, is there something wrong with this ship?" ”
Xiao Shilang smiled: "No, I think it's very powerful." ”
Yu Xun's original subordinates were assigned to other teams, and Xiao Shilang was transferred to be Yu Xun's deputy.
Lu Yun'er nodded and said, "According to General Qin's order, then I will hand over this ship to you, and I will go back to continue my work." With that, he prepared to disembark.
"Miss Lu, will you continue to build this ship?" Yu Xun finally spoke.
Lu Yun'er shook his head and said: "The cost of various materials for this ship is nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and General Qin said that only one will be built for the time being." ”
Yu Xun was slightly shocked when he heard that the cost of this ship was so high, and thought: "Also, the cost of this kind of ship will not be low at first glance, and I am still too anxious." ”
He finally smiled and said, "Miss Lu, this ship is very good, it will be of great help to me." ”
"If only I could help." Lu Yun'er smiled.
Saying that, she got into the carriage and returned to the city, along the way, she looked at the smiling people on the street through the curtain of the car, and she felt a little envious in her heart, since General Qin told her about the rebellion in Hui'an Mansion more than two months ago, her heart was very heavy.
There is a peaceful life here, you can do your favorite research, and there is also Grandpa and Brother Wu, she doesn't want this peace to be destroyed.
But what can a little woman like her change?
Because the Hui'an Engineer Workshop had to undertake the task of shipbuilding, it was located in an abandoned house next to the Xin'an River in the city, and after expanding it, it became a workshop that could build ships and weapons.
There were 500 people in the workshop, all emaciated men selected from the barracks, and half of them were women. Because of the secret nature of the sapper workshop, there are soldiers guarding the door, and there are also a hundred soldiers stationed in the workshop, and there is a capital head who is responsible for protecting the safety of the sapper workshop.
According to Lu Yuan's original idea, Qin Youyu set up two engineer envoys in the engineering workshop, which were served by Lu Yun'er and Wang Gui.
As soon as Lu Yun'er entered the military workshop, a man with an elegant face greeted him, his name was Fan Zhe, he was the adjutant selected by Lu Yun'er, although he was quite strong, but Xi NG was weak and didn't like military things, so he was brushed to the engineering workshop.
Fan Zhe said softly: "Girl, someone came to the military camp just now, and they took away all the ten cloud crossbows that had just been produced, saying that they were going to be transported to Jixi City, and they also said that the crossbows were not enough, so let's produce more." ”
Lu Yun'er became angry when she saw Fan Zhe's motherly appearance, and snorted: "Then go and give birth!" Do you want to tell me that too? ”
Fan Zhe said with a smile: "But Lao Zhao said that this kind of crossbow is too expensive to build, and he asked me to ask you if you can change it to a cheaper wood." "Lao Zhao is the internal affairs officer of the Engineer Workshop.
Lu Yun'er said categorically: "No, this kind of crossbow loss is a special one, and other materials cannot be used." ”
Fan Zhe scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "But Lao Zhao said that if it continues to be built like this, it won't take long for the silver to be set aside from above." ”
Lu Yun'er thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "For the time being, I will gradually improve." ”
After a pause, she said angrily: "You are a man, can you be more courageous in talking and doing things in the future, don't always show this kind of soft demeanor, I will be upset when I look at it." ”
Fan Zhe said with a bitter face: "Got it." ”
Lu Yun'er didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked towards the ship area, Fan Zhe followed quickly, and the engineering workshop was divided into the weapons area that Lu Yun'er was responsible for, and the ship area that Wang Gui was responsible for.
The boat area consisted of three large docks and several rows of houses, and Lu Yun'er saw a little girl who looked a little like herself outside Wang Gui's door.
This woman's name is Wei Yuting, and she is the deputy selected by Wang Gui, and after seeing Lu Yun'er, she saluted and said, "Girl, are you looking for the old man?" ”
Lu Yun'er said in an old-fashioned manner: "Yuting, how much wine did grandpa drink today?" ”
Wei Yuting said: "I only drank half a bottle and I took it for him." ”
Lu Yun'er smiled: "Very good. As he spoke, he pushed the door in, and Fan Zhe stayed outside the door to talk to Wei Yuting.
Since the construction of the sapper workshop, Wang Gui basically doesn't go out, and all the entertainment is handed over to Lu Yun'er, and he studies and improves the new ship every day.
In addition to studying ships, his only hobby is drinking, but Lu Yun'er is afraid that his body will be bad, so he is not allowed to drink more.
After entering the room, Lu Yun'er saw Wang Guizheng lying on the table and gesturing, walked over and said, "Grandpa, the Yunhu has been handed over to Shuiying, and they seem to be quite satisfied." ”
Wang Gui raised his head and smiled: "That's good." ”
After a pause, he said with some concern: "Although this ship is better than the ship built by the old man before, General Qin only let one be built, but I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to defeat so many warships of Wu Yue." ”
Lu Yun'er said in a low voice: "Then we can't help it." ”
Wang Gui sighed: "You said that if we fight with Wu Yueguo, will it hurt Yurong, do you want to write a letter to remind her?" ”
Lu Yun'er exclaimed: "Grandpa, what are you thinking?" This is a military secret, if it is leaked, can General Qin spare us? ”
Wang Gui patted his head and said, "It's that I think it's bad, but I'm always a little relieved that Yurong is that kid." ”
Lu Yun'er smiled bitterly: "You don't have to worry, we shouldn't hit Hangzhou, and I think we are more dangerous than Sister Xia." ”
Wang Gui laughed and said, "That's the same." He asked again, "By the way, how is your Fire Cloud Pigeon studying?" ”
The Huoyun pigeon is a kind of wooden pigeon that Lu Yun'er researched, with a huge size, four rockets hanging under its belly, and the belly is stuffed with gunpowder, which can explode when it lands, which is the closest to success among the several firearms she is researching.
Lu Yun'er shook her head and said, "Where is it so easy, there are still several problems that have not been solved." ”
Wang Gui touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just take your time." ”
Lu Yun'er lay in his arms and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, do you say that Lord Lu will they fail?" ”
Wang Gui patted her on the back and said kindly: "No, everything will pass smoothly!" ”
