Chapter 559: It's a shame
In the heavy snow two days later, only a few Dengju officials were at the port, watching the Great Demon King set sail for Goryeo.
To be exact, there was no sail, and the Great Demon King, who had always put safety first, had no choice but to get on the first naval frigate that was being verified and set off.
Now the gasoline engine is not stable, and it carries a full ship of fuel, which is enough to have nearly 100 tons of gasoline. This is a ship made of wood, although several fuel bunkers have undergone their special metallization treatment, but these are new processes after all, if there is a choice, the big demon king will not take this kind of ship even if he is killed, only Shen Kuo likes to do this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, time is getting tighter and tighter, and I really can't afford to delay. Fujiwara Mitsuko may not die, but Lao Xiao is already in Goryeo, and who knows what moth will be extended if he goes late.
And now that piracy is rampant, the entire Bohai Sea is full of Goryeo pirate ships, and the sailing ships of the Great Song Dengzhou Navy may not be safe......
This is also a sea trial, but it may not be that fast. After only 200 miles, there was one transmission failure and two gas turbine failures. This led to an average speed drop to less than 12 knots.
Indeed, four internal combustion engines are loaded, and theoretically even if the three engines are stopped, they can move forward at a speed of six to seven knots.
But the experience of the Navy has just begun to explore, and in the case of insufficient preparation, it is the optional pit dad gasoline engine and the transmission system of Cao Ji's turtle son. This really made the face of the big demon king on the ship green, and in addition to being angry, his heart was cold.
This is just as Xiao Su, the director of the Strategic Fooling Bureau, said: The frigate blindly seeks innovation, and its biggest problem is not to kill the navy even if it is successful.
This is really fulfilled, and before I came out and pretended to be forced, I was almost struck by lightning. At that time, the indignant youth party and the science and technology party were quite chicken-blooded, and the stall literature was very popular, and the first generation of frigates of the Great Song Dynasty skipped the steam engine and directly pushed up the multi-internal combustion engine with a stronger weight ratio, which could compress how much fuel reserve space, such as and how to advance Yunyun at great speed.
This is something they don't know at all, metal tanks that have been loaded with gasoline for a long time are dangerous, even if the oil is emptied, it can explode in the process of repair and welding. Even if the diesel fuel tank is a lower grade of danger, it needs to be repaired, maintained, welded and reinforced after long-term use, and it must be fully open for volatilization for at least a week, and it can only be selectively welded and repaired externally after it is filled with water.
In addition, the optional Cao Ji transmission system is not to save costs, although Xu Langshan's things are expensive, but the proportion of the total cost of the entire warship is acceptable, the biggest reason for not choosing a machinery plant is: shipyards and machinery factories do not trust each other.
The shipyard said that "Xu Langshan has a problem with his braincase, that is, he refuses to engage in compatibility and non-open standards, every one of his screws is not universal, and he basically can't repair it by himself if there is a problem, and he has to replace the assembly." It is for this reason that when designing frigates, Dengzhou Shipyard first considered "small modularity that is convenient for maintenance", because it is an advantage that the navy itself can maintain with replacement parts when something goes wrong.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Dengzhou shipyard. In fact, this is a tear, even if Dengzhou Shipyard wants to choose Xu Langshan's transmission system, Xu Langshan also refused to provide, Lao Xu said, "Rather lack than abuse, do not support your choice of internal combustion engine, internal combustion engine is now just an immature product, not our factory process, not recommended for military use, you want to use, our factory will refuse to provide a matching transmission system, because my factory has no mature experience."
For this reason, Xu Langshan did not accept the order from the Dengzhou factory, and said that unless a more mature steam engine was selected, he would provide a mature and stable transmission system.
In this way, in the spirit of responding to the big demon king's rush to meet the deadline, such a compromise monster appeared.
Whether this project is a failure or not, Wang Yan dare not say. It was precisely because they didn't dare to talk about it, so when they first arrived at the Dengzhou shipyard, it was not a bumper, but it was suggested that they climb a more stable, mature and safe stupid big black and thick steamship, efficiency is not a problem, and the infinite tonnage can be on a heavy warship, the kind of ship that can enter the Mediterranean Sea with a single supply, or a ship that can go straight to Seattle from the Honshu Island in Japan.
Another reason why I dare not say that I failed is that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the internal combustion engine is really awesome, and it does not need much space to have enough thrust, and the highest record of this frigate soared to 23 knots when it went to sea.
Of course, this is not the economic speed, because this is also a sea trial, which requires data from all sides. Testing for something usually requires a limit state, so gas turbine shutdowns and drivetrain failures also occur at 23 knots.
The success point lies in the fact that although Cao Ji's gearbox is pitted and inefficient, it is indeed convenient, and it only took a day and a half for the shipyard attachΓ© to repair it.
If Xu Langshan provided the transmission system, and in the case of these gas turbines, the maximum speed of the ship should be at 26 knots. Yes, Xu Langshan's things are much more efficient, and they are not easy to break down. Of course, it is also necessary to choose two sets of traditional systems regardless of the cost, otherwise they will be blind if they fail, and it is almost impossible to repair them by themselves.
Objectively speaking, the future commercial ship market will definitely be Cao Ji's favor, but the navy's warship Dayan is biased towards Xu Langshan's plan. Obviously, when there is only one ship, you will feel that Cao Jijia's things are easy to repair and easy to maintain.
But assuming that the Great Song Dynasty will have more than a dozen fleets in the future, and when two hundred warships crisscross the sea, as the prime minister, he will sit in the imperial court, and Da Yan will not care about a certain warship stopping and catching blindness, because there will always be a way to correspond, as long as the overall failure rate is low and the overall combat efficiency is high, the imperial court is willing to see.
Therefore, this trip to personally participate in the sea trials also set the tone for Wang Yan's later deployment, and now it can basically be decided by executive order: Xu Langshan will develop a special steam engine and transmission system for naval warships, and Dengzhou Shipyard will forcibly purchase a full set of power systems for Xu Langshan's family.
The gasoline engine will not be used in any case, even if the steam turbine in the future does not burn coal, and will take the steam route. Even a 100,000-ton battleship will be this plan, and it will be directly over-nuclear-powered from this plan, but even the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the US imperialism in later generations will still be steam turbines. This will have a very long industrial life and is worth digging deeper......
This calamity and hardship sea trial is really enough, and when I entered Beijing and Hong Kong, I was laughed off by the Goryeo stick!
Because the Song State Mission, which is known for its black technology, is like a group of beggars, it only entered Kaijing in early February, and it was calculated that the cabin was large enough and there was enough food and water to reserve.
But when it was tied up at sea for a long time, it stopped and stopped all the way. One hundred miles into Kaijing, four gas turbines shut down together, and one of the fuel bunkers also leaked, so it was calculated that the Great Demon King's command was effective and did not cause a fire.
In the end, the fuel had to be actively discarded to relieve the pressure on several fuel bunkers.
So how did you get into the port?
The propeller was driven by artificial shaking and reached Kaegyo at a speed of about one knot, and when it disembarked, the experienced Koreans laughed at half of it......
The specifications of the honor guard that came to greet Wang Yan were not polite, but they were not bad treatment, which was a bit strange.
The leader was a very good-looking young woman, in her early twenties, with a royal guard of honor. It is impossible to tell whether she is the daughter or sister of the three Korean princes? On the contrary, East Asians have been carefully dressed up and put on makeup, and they are wearing unique national costumes, which is also refreshing. The attraction of this young lady is no less than that of Mitsuko Fujiwara in a kimono, or even slightly more so.
Nearby, a foreign affairs officer from the Goryeo Ministry of Rites approached and whispered: "My lord, she is Li Xiahui, the second daughter of Li Ziyuan, the governor of the Central Council and the envoy of the Central Mansion. Because they are relatives of the emperor, the rules of Goryeo are slightly different from those of the Song Kingdom, so they all use the royal honor guard uniformly. β
Wang Yan was slightly stunned, and looked at Li Xiahui Shaoqing again, but she glanced at her disapprovingly. At this point, Da Yan could only withdraw his impolite gaze and follow in a low-key manner.
The Li family is awesome, even if they are relatives of the emperor and the country, such a blatant and indiscriminate use of honor guards is enough to prove the arrogance of the Li family in Goryeo, they are the so-called foreign relatives group.
The Central Council of Goryeo is roughly equal to the door of the Great Song Dynasty, but the name is different. The Central Council is the Privy Council.
During this period, this virtue was basically applied to everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, at most it was slightly modified, and the names caused by grammatical habits were different, but the core was basically the same.
This awesome young lady is the daughter of the Prime Minister of Goryeo, and it seems that being able to come out and show her face is also the kind that has been reused, such as Ye Wushuang.
The Goryeo Emperor Wang Hui of this period was somewhat similar to Lao Zhao, a relatively enlightened and amiable person, but now he is also old, and his control has been greatly weakened. The one who has a leg with Cho Yoon-hee is the crown prince.
Since the emperor's emblem, Goryeo will soon enter the so-called dictatorship of foreign relatives, that is, the Li family will cover the sky with one hand.
In fact, now from the guard of honor used by Li Xiahui, it can be seen that he already has Sima Zhi. Basically, there is no need to hide it.
For a country like Goryeo, which has no sovereignty in the first place, and encounters an emperor like Lao Zhao who is not angry and has entered old age, then the emperor is not much to manage even if he is not confused. Basically, as long as there is the support of the Liao State, the Li family can walk sideways in Goryeo, that's it.
The crown prince of Goryeo needs to be sealed by Liao, even if the one who slept with Zhao Yunxi has been sealed, it can actually be abolished. So now the Wang Xun who has a leg with Zhao Yunxi is the crown prince, but in history, it is actually Wang Xi who ascended the throne.
This is basically the case under the sun, even if the prime ministers of Japan and South Korea can be replaced and fallen under the agitation of their father's country, then this kind of thing will only be more barbaric in this era.
By now, theoretically, Goryeo had severed ties with the Great Song Dynasty for decades, just because of the interests of the Liao State. In fact, in the heart of the Emperor Wang Hui of Samhan, of course, the resumption of trade with the Great Song Dynasty was the most stable interest for Goryeo.
Helplessly, the already crippled sovereignty of the Goryeo royal family was also divided by the Li family, a relative. The current situation was formed. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare.
The big demon king's absent-minded and thoughtful appearance made the county lord Li Xiahui inevitably look a little impatient, and wanted to say "why did you arrive so late", but because of etiquette and the strategists around her did not advocate talking nonsense, she had to wait for a long time to see what the big demon king was going to do.
"Miss, this is open diplomacy after all, so be patient." A Han strategist beside him said.
"Got it, I didn't say I was going to be angry." Li Xiahui's young lady has a very good temper and is also a middle two, and her resistance is very strong.
Da Yan looked east and west at the dock, and then officially walked in front of Li Xiahui and said, "The county lord has been waiting for a long time. β
The big demon king is a very popular idol level, but maybe Li Xiahui has seen a lot of handsome guys and ladyboys, and found that this person has been on the boat for a long time and is full of stinky body like a beggar, so a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he thought: This person is exaggerated, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of character with great ability, and my father asked me to receive it.
Of course, in general, this black woman has been smiling......
In fact, as long as the Korean people can develop under a stable situation, they still have some ability. This is especially true when there are pirates who rob and plunder outside the country and feed back the regime at home. Therefore, Kaijing is also a very prosperous big city, and the degree of prosperity is not much worse than that of Bianjing.
Of course, this is very false. Just looking at Kaijing, it is not much different from Tokyo, with a population of more than one million. But in fact, the population of Goryeo at this time was only 5 million, nearly a quarter of which were concentrated in Kaegyo, and the rest were scattered throughout the Korean Peninsula.
In the eyes of the Great Demon King, this is a treasure island, and it is completely undeveloped land like Japan. At this time, Japan was about the same size as them, with a population of four or five million, but before officially entering the Age of Discovery, it would be a little behind Goryeo. After all, Goryeo has the support of hegemony, and the land borders Yanyun, the trade center of this world.
"The prosperity here is amazing, the handsome men and beautiful women are unique, no wonder Her Royal Highness the princess of my family can stay here for a whole year and never miss it" Wang Yan sarcastically while walking.
It's certainly more advanced than your home Tokyo. Thinking so, Li Xiahui just smiled very gently and did not respond.
Wang Yan stopped, looked at her and said, "I have a feeling that we will eventually become better friends." β
Are the Song people so brazen and so inferior?
Thinking so, Li Xiahui smiled again and said, "I hope so." β
Wang Yan tilted his hat and said, "As a woman, you are always so polite and urban, which can be regarded as charming, but it is actually not good." β
Li Xiahui disagreed and laughed.
Depend on.
Da Yan found this woman really a little strange, I don't know where she got her superiority?
In the process of going to the post house, he rarely spoke, but only talked to each other without being salty.
After entering the inn, she didn't leave, as if she didn't want to see her, but she had her father's order to stay longer.
Looking at each other again, Wang Yan smiled and said, "If you don't want to stay, just go, don't worry about me, I won't get lost." β
"Okay, that adult has a lot of heart."
Li Xiahui smiled and walked away, turned around and changed her face to think: Is he this kind of trick of deliberately maverick to attract women, I have seen a lot, Miss. Only the real strong heroes are worthy of friendship and respect, but you Song people will only pretend to be not strong. This person must be full of filth, the kind of existence that is extremely lascivious and obscene.
This is Li Xiahui's impression of Dayan during this meeting......
The weather was good and easy to start warming, but the big goose was refrigerated again, and the Goryeo court did not make arrangements for the time being, and could not negotiate state affairs for the time being, so they had to wait.
This diplomacy can no longer be face-saving, Wang Yan is anxious, and he wants to get Fujiwara Mitsuko back as soon as possible. In this way, it became a Song State asking for people, and diplomacy was not a requirement of Goryeo. It was the Great Song Dynasty who was coming, and sent a letter of state to Goryeo, and Goryeo did not respond to Wang Yan's coming.
That's more or less the case. What's more, Lao Xiao is also making a-stirring stick in Kaijing to make trouble.
Xiao Hui's existence, in the sensitive situation, Goryeo is taboo even if he is polite to Wang Yan. As a result, there are four dissimilarities: it is not the Goryeo Ministry of Rites who came out to greet them, but Li Xiahui, who is not a government official.
This is ambiguous, Li Xiahui is a relative of the emperor and represents Prime Minister Li Ziyuan, which is a very high standard. But he coped with it, because Li Xiahui was not a government official.
Liu Sheng, who was accompanying him, was very anxious, and knelt down in the post house and begged: "I still need His Highness to get Miss Mitsuko out as soon as possible, please ask His Highness to authorize Zai's private investigation?" β
Wang Yan shook his hand and said, "You can't do this, give me patience." If there is no Liaoguo intervention, it is the norm, then you can do whatever you want, and I will endorse you in the face of the Great Song Dynasty. But Lao Xiao is a variable in Kaijing, and everything will come anyway. Even if you really find the whereabouts of Fujiwara Mitsuko, as long as you dare to act on your own, you will definitely be charged with subverting Goryeo. If you can't do anything, you'll get me in trouble. β
Finally, he said: "The top priority is to wait, if you want to die Fujiwara Mitsuko will die early, it is useless for you to be anxious." If she doesn't die, it means that she is useful, so it doesn't matter if you drag it out. It is still necessary to rely on the Koreans to get her out through reasonable means. β
"Hey." Yanagi had no choice but to agree......
