So he didn't think about it and said casually: "It's okay, I didn't spend money on this little thing." I looted the booty of my house when I was fighting. ”

As soon as he said this, the living room fell silent, except for a few children still chattering happily. However, Liang Haiyan said in surprise: "Okay! This thing stained with the spirit of the sword is a good thing, and it can ward off evil spirits! ”

As soon as he said this, the room suddenly returned to a cheerful atmosphere. Then it's time to cut the cake. With the help of his mother, Yumo cut the cake into small pieces and gave each one a piece. The adults gathered together with plates and chatted, and let the children make a fuss on their own.

Liang Haiyan ate the cake and asked in a low voice, "I said, that pendant, you didn't take it off the dead man, did you?" ”

Liu Pei glared at him and said, "You treat me as stupid!" How can I give Yumo that kind of pendant! That's when I finished fighting. I found it in a box when I searched his house! ”

Liang Haiyan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

But at this time, it was Liu Pei's turn to be strange. Because he just said the wrong thing, and he said the war. But except for a few guests who were surprised, the people of the Liang family didn't seem strange. So he asked in a low voice, "You don't seem surprised that I'm fighting abroad, what's going on?" ”

Liang Haiyan smiled and told Liu Pei about the things he and Old Man Liang analyzed. It's over: "It's okay, the people who came today are all old family relations, and they won't talk nonsense." ”

Liu Pei nodded in understanding. But he thought to himself, well, this misunderstanding is a big one. But it doesn't matter. With this misunderstanding exists. There are many things that Liu Pei can explain, just admit it. And even if the news gets out, it doesn't matter, it can add an extra layer of protection. Anyway, if you stay honestly in the country, the government will not deliberately clean itself up.

Liu Pei was thinking about it, and Liang Haiyan asked, "I was embarrassed to ask you before, so I've always been curious." Now can you tell me about the war outside? Where do you usually go? ”

Liu Pei thought for a while and made up a nonsense, and said: "I won't tell you about the war, it's bloody and boring." But we usually go either to Southeast Asia or South America. There is a lot of work in these two places, and there is a lot of money to be given. ”

Liang Haiyan nodded in understanding and said, "Indeed, these two places are either big drug lords or big warlords!" There's definitely a lot of work! But I'd advise you to quit early. Wouldn't it be good for our brothers to do business then? ”

At this time, Liu Pei thought of what he was doing, and there were so many subordinates and civilians attached to him. He knew he had to go down this road! If you quit, everything you have done over the years will be in vain. The strong historical inertia will erase all traces of his existence at the end of the Ming Dynasty and return to the old road. At that time, countless lives will be consumed by the flames of war! So Liu Pei sighed and said very vicissitudes: "I can't retreat!" ”

Liang Haiyan listened to his tone so vicissitudes, so he patted Liu Pei's arm: "It's okay, I've also read a lot of mercenary books, and I still know what's going on." But remember, I'm always there for you, no matter what. ”

After chatting for a while, a maid informed them that the dinner was ready. So a group of people went to dinner lively.

In the days that followed, Liu Pei and Liang Haiyan, two swingers, went around to have fun, but they had a lot of fun. However, Liu Pei still insisted on riding horses every day. After all, he will be able to use it when he returns to the Ming Dynasty in the future. In the middle, Liu Pei also took the time to go to Director Wang to see the samples once.

This time, the armor that Director Wang made made Liu Pei very satisfied. The moldings on the surface of the armor have been removed, except for the edges of the armor that are slightly raised. The entire armor was soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid, and the surface was black. Hanging on the shelf, it looks very calm and domineering.

Moreover, Director Wang also raised a problem that Liu Pei ignored, that is, the caliber of artillery.

It is important to know that it is impossible to equip a ship with artillery of a uniform caliber. For example, the largest surviving sailing battleship, the HMS Royal Victory, had a gun deck: 32-pounder (14.51 kg) and 30 2.75-tonne guns; Medium gun deck: 24-pounder, 2.5-ton guns, 28 guns; Upper gun deck: 12-pounder, 30 1.7-ton guns; First floor deck: 2 12-pounder guns; 2 68-pounder guns; Aft deck: 12-pounder, 1.7-ton short guns 12 guns. And in order to maintain the stability of the hull, guns with large calibers and many charges were installed on the lower deck, and the higher up the caliber the smaller.

Liu Pei realized that he had made an extremely stupid mistake! But he didn't know what artillery was needed, so he had to hurry to consult Professor Hou. Then Professor Hou sent him a form through his mobile phone to solve the problem.

Liu Pei breathed a sigh of relief, but the cola broke Director Wang. You know, the price of heavy guns is definitely much more expensive than the price of ordinary deck guns! The price of these 300 naval guns has risen due to the existence of heavy artillery, which is equivalent to an extra price of 100 guns out of thin air! This can make Director Wang's old face smile badly! In order to thank Director Wang for the reminder, Liu Pei happily allocated all the full amounts, and urged Director Wang to hurry up and build the remaining armor.

The time soon came for Liu Pei to prepare to return. Liu Pei contacted Professor Hou and wanted to get drawings and models of Western-style sail warships from him. Liu Pei found that the address given by Professor Hou was a small hotel.

When Liu Pei arrived, Professor Hou greeted him. He looked at Liu Pei with a puzzled look on his face and said, "No way, the model production cycle you want is very long." So in order to rush the work, I had to call a lot of friends to help. As a result, there was no place to stay, so I simply chartered this small hotel, which could accommodate people and work. ”

Liu Pei nodded suddenly and said, "This is a good idea, practical!" But how's the model made? ”

Hou Jie said with a smug smile: "We have made all the models you want!" But it took a lot of effort! It's a shame that everyone is familiar with it, otherwise it really won't be able to catch up! ”

Saying that, he led Liu Pei inside, opened a door, stood by the door and said, "Please, this is the moment to witness a miracle!" ”

Liu Pei entered the door and found that everything in this room had been removed. There are several improvised shelves inside. There are quite a few huge models on the shelves. The models are very detailed and beautifully made.

Liu Pei was excited and hurriedly stepped forward to watch carefully. I took it and found that this model is not just fine! Because they even made the ropes on the deck guns! The deck guns are so delicate and cute that they look like real guns have shrunk.

Seeing Liu Pei's attentive vision, Professor Hou introduced Liu Pei and said, "The model you are looking at is the Maritime Sovereign launched in 1637. It is a first-class ship. He was armed with 90 naval guns. What a perfect industrial miracle! ”

Liu Pei turned around in surprise and said, "The battleship is still classified?" How to divide it? ”

Hou Jie said with a look of disdain: "You don't understand this? By the number of guns loaded, of course! After speaking, he also gave Liu Peipu a description of the classification system of British warships.

The earliest classification of warships in England appeared during the reign of Henry VIII, which divided warships into four classes, namely galleons, galleys, single-gun galleons, and paddle barges.

In the late Stuart period, in 1604 a classification of warships according to artillery, tonnage, and number of personnel began to appear.

The real classification system of sail warships was established in the 1660s and lasted until the middle of the 19th century. In 1677, Samuel Peppis, secretary of the British Admiralty, set the number of first-class battleships at 90-100 guns, the second-class ships at 80 guns or more, and the third-class ships at 48-60 guns. After that, there will be changes every few years, and in general, with the advancement of technology, the standard of the number of artillery pieces is increasing. In 1856, for example, the standard for a first-class battleship was raised to more than 110 guns.

When the popularization was over, he said to Liu Pei: "Every model here is disassembleable. Saying that, he showed Liu Pei how to disassemble. Liu Pei was surprised to find that this model could be split in two from the middle. When opened, you can see the entire section of the battleship. Moreover, all the parts of the left hull are movable and can be completely disassembled into individual parts. As long as the experienced veteran boatman scales up the production of these parts, he can really build the boat.

This can make Liu Peiru a treasure! In the end, Liu Pei hired someone to pack these dozens of models and carefully delivered them to the warehouse. Liu Pei then said goodbye to Yu Lina and Liang Haiyan, and they returned to the Ming Dynasty.
