Chapter 074: Iron Grandson
“…… Holy! Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu drove their test ship out. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Your son is really bold, and he dares to use it for transoceanic voyages without any supply station with coal and water, isn't it a shame! Lao Luo, did you offend Wen Xiaoqi or Qi Zu back then? But if it weren't for the deep hatred, they wouldn't have killed America like this. If I were you, I'd just take a boat back, shoot them one at a time, and kill these two things directly, lest they hurt you and lose your grandson." Hong Tao reluctantly picked up the telescope, stood up and looked in the direction of Luo Youde's finger, and then his eyes couldn't leave the telescope, and at the same time, he didn't spare Luo Youde in his mouth, and by the way, Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu were also spared.
He is envious, jealous and hateful! A few nautical miles ahead was a large ship that was longer than the Sea King. If the light head of the big wave would not hate it so much, there are two large chimneys with wisps of gray smoke on it, steamboats!
Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu finally got a steamship that could sail to the sea, although it still had two masts hanging sails on it, but the main power probably still relied on the boiler in the hull and the propeller in the stern, and the sail only played an auxiliary role. This type of propulsion is already very advanced, and it was also used in the nineteenth century when ocean-going steamships first came out.
Although the ship is still in the transition stage, it has already made Hong Tao very calm. At this rate, North America will soon be able to run out of this big monster in formation, and with the Qizu cannon and the steel hull, who can beat them?
In addition, the steam engine can not only be used for ship propulsion, it can be used in almost every field of daily production and life, once the North American continent takes the lead in perfecting and popularizing the steam engine, then it will surpass the Jinhe Empire and the Great Song Empire, and fully enter the steam age. And now I can't do anything, I can't lick my face to rob someone's boat. Even if it is snatched up, the Great Song Empire will not be able to build it within a year or two, not because there are not enough technicians, but because the steel smelting capacity and skilled workers are insufficient, unless it is jointly developed with the Jinhe Empire.
"You deserve it! It's uncomfortable now, if you have the ability, you can also build one and I'll take a look, hahahaha......" Luo Youde didn't care about Hong Tao's nonsense, he knew Hong Tao very well, once he tried his best to pit someone, it means who is stronger than him. Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu were now his targets, and the old emperor was jealous in his heart.
"Cut, I'm not willing to build it, the Great Song Dynasty is still too poor to afford it. Don't worry, in two years, I'll show you what a train is, a long steel dragon that can run on land, a mile long, have you ever seen it? Of course, Hong Tao refused to admit that he was envious, jealous and hateful, and in order to prove that he was better than Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu, he also carried out the train that he had always wanted to develop.
"I don't have a problem with you saying that a hundred miles is long, but it's useless to just say it, everyone has already driven over, where is your long dragon?" Luo Youde finally caught Hong Tao once, and resolutely refused to let go of this opportunity to take advantage of his mouth, and he had to chase and fight hard.
"Oops, my stomach hurts a little...... No, I guess the sea breeze blew, you can see for yourself, I'll go squat for a while. On this issue, Hong Tao really can't raise the bar, no matter how beautiful it is, it is not as convincing as the real thing in front of him. Since you can't say it, then don't be stupid and addicted to Luo Youde here, if we can't avoid you, we won't let you have the pleasure of revenge! Let's have a.
Spring Soyuz! The ship, which is more than 60 meters long, has an all-steel structure and is similar in appearance to the Virginia class, but it has been enlarged several times, the aspect ratio has been slightly reduced, and the freeboard has been slightly raised. Its armament is very recognizable, and from afar you can see two open-air batteries in the bow and stern, on which a small toothpick is propped up, not with a thin barrel, but with a slightly oversized turret and semicircular gun shield. If you take a closer look at the six Qizu cannons on both sides, you can find that these two small toothpicks are relatively thick.
"What is this? Slimy. Good son-in-law, your father just changed into new clothes today, let's put the hanging basket. When Hong Tao and Luo Youde approached the big guy in a small boat, Hong Tao also wanted to pull Luo Youde to climb the rope net together, but as soon as his hand touched the hull, he gave up. The hull was coated with a layer of asphalt that was not asphalt, presumably used as an anti-rust paint. It is not clear whether the effect is good or not, but it is very sticky, and it is estimated that it is difficult to wash off when rubbed on clothes.
"It's okay, you can climb, this is your good apprentice Bush, we have all suffered, you don't taste it. Uncle Luo, I can't live with the new clothes, even if I come up in a hanging basket, there is no clean place on the boat, and there is soot everywhere. The hanging basket was put down, and a head poked out from the side of the ship, and Wen Xiaoqi grinned at the bottom.
"I said why is my son here again, it's worth it for you to jump, you pulled him across the ocean to toss, just to show off your broken ship!" When Luo Youde looked at Wen Xiaoqi's face, his heart suddenly cooled, and the eldest grandson was probably hopeless.
"Oops...... I've fallen for the beauty trick, why are you here too? Hong Tao was not afraid of dirty clothes, and he didn't like to be dragged around like goods in the hanging basket, so he still climbed up along the rope net. As soon as his head was exposed to the side of the ship, a woman wearing a European tight skirt suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Zhuyi!
"What's going on in Europe? What about Carl and William? Not only Jiang Zhuyi came, but she was also followed by Ariana. Hong Tao immediately thought that this ambitious woman might have lost ground in the chaos in Europe, otherwise she should be busy building the country now, how could she have time to run so far.
"It's cost-effective, in your eyes, I won't come back to you if I'm at the end of the road, right, am I so snobbish? Ariana, you go and help him up, I don't want to get a slimy dirty thing. Jiang Zhuyi was very concerned about the anti-rust coating on the hull, so he refused to approach, but asked Ariana to help Hong Tao cross the side of the ship.
"I'll talk about the two of you later, Xiao Qi, accompany me to see this ship first." Hong Tao was relieved when he heard Jiang Zhuyi's words. As long as there are no major incidents on the European side, Karl and William are not in any danger, and the rest of the ministers and I can ignore them for the time being, compared to this steel monster, those are all floating clouds.
"Hmph, I know what's so good about your ship, it's dirty, I still like the King of the Seas. How about it, did your son return the big ship to you when he came back this time? Jiang Zhuyi was not very satisfied with the ship, because it was so dirty, from time to time soot would fall from the air, and he could walk on the deck and get out of the footprints.
"Women know a fart! This is a large iron ship, which can smash the Sea King to pieces without firing a cannon light. Besides, the Sea King is the property of the imperial government, and even if it is given to His Majesty for nothing, His Majesty will not sit on it, so isn't it to grab the throne with his son. Do you understand the law? Wen Xiaoqi resolutely couldn't tolerate others saying that his boat was not good, even if he knew that Jiang Zhuyi was not a person to be messed with, he couldn't help but fight back against this woman.
"If you can keep this dirt out of the way, it's a good ship, otherwise it's garbage! Big garbage! I have to change an average of three dresses a day, and I'm still dirty, is this still a place for people? I'll go down, and I'll look for me in my cabin later, and don't take too long! Jiang Zhuyi did not show weakness, and counted the great evils of this ship, turned around and twisted his waist and got into the hatch in the middle of the deck with Ariana, and threw a wink at Hong Tao.
“…… Right now, I'll go down in two minutes! Hong Tao smiled very obscenely, nodded and sent the woman back to the cabin, then put away his smile, and then asked Wen Xiaoqi about the ship.
"You are smart and confused for a while, it is useless to reason with women, it is in vain, the easiest way is to say one thing and do another. This time I came to test the ship's long-distance sailing capabilities? It can't drive all the way from Midway, can it? How do you add coal and water halfway? ”
