Chapter 293: Dragon Boat

Now Gao Huan has completely liked his work, often staying with Yin Long and a group of Mo family children, watching them engage in manufacturing research, and even sometimes running to Zu Chongzhi to ask some questions, and he sometimes laughs at Shi Le and Chang Yuchun, laughing at them for not using their brains and only caring about brute force, which shows that he has a tendency to study science.

In fact, this is Liu Yuetian's intentional arrangement, Gao Huan is the youngest among the three, active, and even bold, this kind of person has a very high IQ, and accepts many new things quickly, for employing people, Liu Yuetian's system will not make mistakes, and will definitely let him play the greatest role.

"I said you guy, now is not the time to do anything research and manufacturing, we also know that trebuchets are very powerful, but after all, they can't be used in war, then Gesar is coming, it can't just be me and Brother Shi pull up the team and fight with them." You've got to start your game, too! ”

Chang Yuchun pursed his lips and said.

After following Liu Yuetian for so long, they all have a habit, that is, they don't like to fight with the enemy when they fight.

What is Hard? That is, as before, relying on blood and courage and relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death, like fighting, even if you win in the end, it will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, so if you continue to fight a few times, this army will be abolished, they rely on weapons and equipment that far surpass the other party, in Liu Yuetian's words, relying on the power of science and technology.

Even though the soldiers of Shile and Chang Yuchun were holding repeating crossbows, this was all the same old thing, and the new gadgets such as trebuchets, muskets, and stone bombs had begun to show their power, especially the appearance of the steam engine, which made them find a "new continent" again, with so many new weapons, they were no longer satisfied with the short range of the repeater, and it was better for their soldiers to hold muskets in their hands.

"Where can it be so fast? The lord said that the development of science and technology is gradual, even though we have mastered the technology now, but to transform the technology into various machinery, this is not a year or two can be successful, but, hehe, that dragon ship is almost ready to be launched now! ”

"Oh? The dragon ship succeeded! ”

The others were refreshed when they heard it.

"It's almost, it's docked in the dock of Longchuan Town, let's go take a look?"

Gao Huan said with a hint of pride.

"So what are you waiting for? Walk! ”

More than a dozen people hurried from Tianshui to Longchuan Town, a hundred miles away, each of them rode the Lu BMW, but an hour to arrive outside the town, there is a wharf built on the Jinsha River, around this wharf has been established a dock fort, from time to time in the dock fort emitted black smoke, there are nearly 100 people in and out of it, and on the river there is a more than two zhang high, the whole body is black and swarthy big guy, floating on the water with the river slowly undulating.

This is the dragon ship, a ship made entirely of pig iron, with a total body of two zhang high, ten zhang long, and four zhang wide, with dozens of sharp and raised iron thorns on the hull, and dozens of small lookouts for shooting crossbow arrows.

In terms of size, this ship is not comparable to the building ship of Da Wu, and it has no shape, to put it bluntly, it seems to be a square piece of iron, but it is completely made of pig iron, and the weight is enough to compare to two building ships, and the cabin can accommodate more than a dozen people.

This dragon boat is powered by a steam engine, and it can run with great power, even during the flood season of the Jinsha River, and it can run at full speed compared to the wooden boat that goes downstream.

Don't look at this dragon ship as inconspicuous, but imagine what would happen if such a big steel guy rushed into a pile of wooden boats? You don't need to take the initiative to attack, just load it directly, it is not something that those wooden ships can resist, and the dragon ship can also be closed, and any attack from the outside cannot pose a threat to the inside, if it is far away, the people inside can also launch crossbow arrows through those dozens of lookouts.

This ship is Liu Yuetian's secret weapon used to deal with Tibet, not to mention those small wooden boats in Tibet, if Liu Yuetian now creates more than a dozen such dragon ships, even Dawu's water fleet will not be able to stop it, and it only takes a rampant to knock the other party into a pile of wooden slag.

"Brothers, come, try our dragon ship!"

Gao Huan and everyone came to the ship, and immediately more than a dozen people got on the boat with an order, and then started the internal steam engine, and the dragon boat rushed out at a very fast speed, turning the bow of the ship to rush left and right, and the pilots inside could already fully control the ship.

"How? If Gesar's fleet comes, my dragon ship will crash into it directly, haha, who can stop it? It's fun to think about! ”

Gao Huan shouted excitedly, he was right, just with Gesar's small sampans, compared with the dragon boat, it is like the gap between a kitten and a tiger, it can't be stopped at all, it can be said that there is no problem for this dragon boat to destroy the other party's hundred small boats, and even if it enters the dangerous place, it doesn't matter, with the power of the dragon boat, basically no one can stop if you want to leave.

"What a great guy, if we have two more dragon ships like this, we can wipe out all the other party directly on the Jinsha River."

Schler sighed.

"Where is it so simple, the construction of this dragon ship was completed by more than a hundred craftsmen day and night, and it took more than two months to complete it, and now the second one is still being built, but it will take a month to complete, and then Gesar is afraid that it will be able to hit us in a few days!"

"It's enough, we just need to contain Gesar in the water, on land they are a bunch of weak chickens, only to be slaughtered."

In the eyes of everyone, it is good to have a dragon boat, but they are not afraid of no dragon boat, Tianshui is the place where Liu Yuetian started, and has been accumulating for more than a year, and now Tianshui is not what it used to be, it is really a strong soldier, Liu Yuetian only took away three thousand elites when he left, and there are more than 50,000 people left, since Wang Tong attacked, Tianshui has experienced several wars, everyone is already a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and in terms of equipment and morale have surpassed Fu Jian's army, Liu Yuetian repelled the world-famous Daqin Iron Cavalry with only 30,000 people, If they can't destroy each other, wouldn't it be a joke, Liu Yuetian also knew the combat effectiveness of this army, so he left.

"Don't worry, the effect of the dragon boat may not be obvious, but I still have nearly a hundred trebuchets and thousands of stone bombs, these guys are all reserved for Gesar, you can't take this credit from me."

Of course, Gao Huan not only has dragon ships, but also the military industry of Tianshui is commanded by him, and the nearly 100 trebuchets are his hole cards.
