Jacqueline stood at the window, looking a little weakly into the distance, where two obviously much larger ships were drifting on the sea, and although she didn't have the actual data of the two new ships that had just been launched, she was sure that the Edge class was even bigger, because there were two Edge ships lying in the distance in another dry dock in the distance when she was out of the water to watch the ceremony. Please search to see the most complete! The two fastest newer dry docks were the same size, but the length occupied by the two wooden transports left only a small amount of length left for the dry dock, and the remaining length of the two sharp ships in the distance was at least twenty meters.

She had already heard Miro say that the keels of the two ships were laid at a very fast speed, as the Chinese claimed, and then built at an even more incredible speed, and finally the main body was completed. There are still many critical times when Miro can't follow the whole process because he wants to track the whereabouts of the Dongfeng, and he can only estimate the speed according to the progress of completion. According to Miro, the thrusters of the two ships were completed a few months ago, but for some unknown reason they could not be installed on time and have been placed next to the slipway, but he had already completed the installation on the way to Ocean City to pick up the princess after returning to the Mountain Harbor Fleet to report the situation, and since he did not monitor the whole process, he did not know what was going on inside.

Now that the two ships have been launched, Miro's previous long-distance surveillance failed to see the situation below the waterline, but he was there to watch the launching ceremony this time, and it was indeed as he thought, and the installation of the thrusters of the extremely special ship of several pilot ships introduced from the port of the East at that time was exactly the same. Although I don't know what kind of method the Chinese people use to drive, just a towering chimney at the tail of the hull can remind Miro of the towering chimneys that can be seen everywhere in the Oriental Port, and I really don't know what kind of black smoke the Chinese people use as a power source.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline hurriedly whispered a few praises to the emperor, and put the cross on his chest to his mouth and recited a few passages of the Bible that were said to be effective in "exorcism", and then kissed the cross. There was only one feeling in her heart, the whole Oriental Harbor seemed to be an evil city where altars were set up everywhere to worship the devils, it seemed that they were constantly burning something terrible to feed the devils to power their factories and these ships, and she could only hope for the emperor's blessing at the moment, not to let these demons erode her.

At the same time, she carefully brought the cuffs to her nose and sniffed them, which was a mixture of several perfumes that she tried to wear when she and Xiao Jing went to the supermarket yesterday. She had to admit that although the Chinese people may be using the power of the devil to make goods, she cannot deny that the goods produced by the Chinese people are far behind the Yaning people in terms of quantity and quality. Jacqueline recently received a letter from her sister, who is the princess of Yaning, mentioning that in the past year or so, Yaning's foreign trade commodity quota has become smaller and smaller, and there are too many raw materials shipped from outside, and there are not enough products to sell, so that the whole Yaning is now in a serious trade deficit economic situation, resulting in the current situation that the workshops in many cities have been unsustainable, and now the only good industrial projects in Yaning are new long-barreled muskets and large capital ships.

Because the Medeno people suffered huge losses in a sneak attack on a destroyer, this kind of embarrassing thing fully proves the old saying of Wu Guo, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", and even the Europa coolies in Haicheng now know that the Medeno people have eaten deflated in the hands of the Chinese people, and because the news was not leaked through official channels, after a rumor that was spread falsely, it became a sampan of 50 gorgeous and sharp ships besieging the Wu Guoren and beating them to the head. The story reached the ears of Emperor Conrad, who almost didn't take his back on his back, because the facts of this battle were still lost to the people of Medno, even after being washed by layers of reports, so while asking the people to stop the state of war, Conrad also decided to build a new fleet to deal with this group of navies that appeared out of thin air in the coming war in the future.

Conrad also made a decision not to use the Gorgeous or Edge classes that are now in service, as these two types of capital ships suffered a major defeat in the siege of the destroyers of the countrymen, and they were obviously not pleasing to the people. According to the war report, the explosive shells and muskets that can fire continuously and without stopping fire are extremely powerful weapons that the existing warships of Medeno cannot resist in a short time, so it is necessary to adopt a new design to increase or decrease the survival rate of the fleet in front of the people. According to the reports of some of the surviving sailors of the ship, they escaped the fire of the countrymen by hiding behind the guns or even hiding behind the lead barrels when there was an explosion or strafing in the vicinity, so Conrad demanded that iron shields be laid along the bulwarks of the new warships to prevent them from being shot through by the muskets of the countrymen, and that some iron shields should be kept on the deck to provide shelter for the sailors on the deck. The new ships should be at least 80 meters long and 20 meters wide, so that more personnel could be placed in battle against the Chinese people.

The ship's cannon must also be strengthened, the artillery used by the navy in the past in this battle fully showed the lack of penetration, the destructive power is too small and the lethality to personnel is too small, and the loading speed is slow, even if there are fifteen or sixteen guns on each deck of each floor, it still does not have the slightest advantage in the face of the high rate of fire of the Chinese artillery, so while training the sailors to practice hard to improve the shooting accuracy and loading speed, Conrad decided to add an extra layer of gun deck to the new battleship Fengrui-class battleship, It also means that the new ship must have three gun decks, each of which is guaranteed to have a capacity of twelve to fifteen guns on each side, and the entire gun deck of the warship will be equipped with ninety guns, and according to Conrad's will, these guns must be twenty-four and thirty-two pounderers of larger caliber, instead of the previous twelve or sixteen-pounderers. According to Conrad's idea, not only could there be more than forty-five cannons on one side of the hull to be used against the warships of the countrymen, but the range of the twenty-four pounder guns could reach 1,200 meters at five degrees of elevation, and at that distance it could also cause damage to the wooden hull, and if it could be fired at 600 meters, it would have no problem to penetrate it. Therefore, Conrad believed that if there was such a firepower configuration and hull, it would be absolutely no problem to use it against the countrymen, so he immediately ordered Yaning to place an order for six of these new warships.

The order for these six warships also surprised the Yaning people, how can such a design be played? First of all, the weight of a 24-pounder gun is nearly two tons, so even if the 90 guns are all 24-pounder guns, they also weigh 180 tons, although the deck is generally equipped with a smaller caliber of 12-pounder guns, but the lower deck is often equipped with the largest caliber guns, so the total weight of the guns will not change much. Add to this, according to the king's instructions, to install bulletproof shields on the bulwarks and bulletproof bunkers on the decks, and then add about thirty tons of weight, so that the waterline weighs more than two hundred and ten tons of guns and bunkers alone, and this is still not the weight of sailors and marines.

Since there are three decks, the height of the highest part of the deck to the waterline is at least eight to nine meters or even ten meters, plus a main mast that can poke the sky and poke the moon down, the center of gravity of the ship can be deflected to the waterline to a height of several meters, if the bottom layer is pressurized to ensure the center of gravity, it is bound to increase the weight of the hull and affect the position of the waterline, once it encounters strong winds and waves, it may pour seawater from the gun window into it; Without increasing the amount of ballast, the high center of gravity will make the hull swing from side to side, and even the sailors running on the deck may affect the balance of the hull, not to mention the windy weather, which will definitely capsize.

The honest Yanin designers summed up these concerns and reported them to the Yaning Palace, and the Yaning royal family quickly submitted these concerns to the Medenorians, but the Medeno people strangely ignored these concerns, and only demanded that the Yaning people must design and build this new type of capital ship according to the will of King Conrad. Since Party A's request is a heavenly card, the Yaning people, as Party B, began to design and build this new capital ship according to the requirements of Party A's Medeno people.

Jacqueline knew, of course, that the Yanings did not build ships as quickly as the Chinese could build in just a few months, but first designed them, then made a small model out of wood, and then dismantled the model layer by layer, and then built layer upon layer of slipway. This method is not only time-consuming, but also wasteful of wood, but the Yanins have been building ships this way for hundreds of years, so they have no inclination to improve this method of building ships. So although she heard that her father had placed an order for six new capital ships from Yaning, she did not expect to see the launch of these ships as soon as possible, in her opinion, such ships would be launched in three years at the earliest, and that would be if there was no shortage of all ship materials and all resources revolved around these ships, of course, these are impossible.

Jacqueline sighed, her heart full of indignation, why did such a group of Chinese people pop up in this world? Why do they have such advanced technology? Why do they do everything so fast? Whether it is making goods, building houses, training armies, or building ships, the people of the country are like a speeding machine, producing everything they need at the fastest speed with maximum efficiency. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the seemingly pointed roof in the distance, where was the steel skeleton pyramid she saw on the way to the supermarket with the tour group, and the pyramid in the distance was climbed by a lot of workers, they didn't know what they were holding in their hands, and they touched the steel skeleton from time to time, and each touch would emit bursts of dazzling blue light, even in broad daylight, it would feel a little dazzling.

She heard Xiao Jing talk about this pyramid, and now what is being built is only a skeleton, and when the skeleton is completed, a large flat glass will be used to cover the skeleton on a layer, so as to realize a glass pyramid. Although she had not seen the pyramids with her own eyes, she had seen the descriptions in many books, and the accompanying pictures, and imagined that such a magnificent and huge building could be rebuilt in the hands of the Chinese people at this moment, and it was too strange to use steel and glass, and I really didn't know where they came up with these technologies.

At this moment, a healthy and slightly shy man suddenly flashed in her mind, this man himself was slightly taller, well-built, wearing a straight shirt and pants that looked strange, but could reflect the man's figure, light hair, no beard, and a pair of glasses made of unknown materials on the bridge of his nose, looking polite. Jacqueline leaned against the window, quietly hiding in the shadows in her mind to spy on the man, and when the man slowly turned around and smiled at her, her face turned crimson and her cheeks felt very hot. "It's Xiao Jing, Xiao Executive Committee!" She almost shouted in her heart, and as she accidentally cut the soles of her feet, Xiao Jing nervously carried her and rushed to the door of the supermarket, shouting in a hurry to make people drive looked very cute, "If only he was a Maidno," Jacqueline had such a thought in her heart, which made her heart throb, but then a sweet taste swelled, "If he is really a Maidno, then well, I can go out with him justifiably, Now he has to be careful every time he invites me, and it feels so much fun to be with him. ”

Jacqueline has a strange sense of satisfaction when staying with Xiao Jing, this man's personality seems to be a little shy, but when he needs to get ahead, he has an undoubted manly demeanor, and he will carefully protect her on the outside of the road when he walks. Especially when passing by the military police on the side of the road, the men in the crisp military uniforms and police uniforms stood up and saluted them, and each time she felt as if she was a princess, full of vanity and satisfaction.
