July 1, 1883, Beijing, Imperial Congress Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crowd was crowded, applause was everywhere, and what was being held here was the award ceremony of Min Youpeng. Almost all the top echelons of the Empire and the first seven Marshals of the Empire were already present.

And the person who is awarding the medal and awarding the marshal's scepter to Min Youpeng is not Emperor Lin Hong, but a young man who is about thirty years old, this young man is the imperial prince, the eldest son and only son of our imperial emperor Lin Hong--- Lin Fei, the word Siwu.

Obviously, this is the result of the system arrangement, and in fact Lin Hong must accept the result. Because Lin Hong has already learned the cause and effect from the system.

The laws of this world have been constantly compressing the functions of the system, from the beginning when Lin Hong could buy people and cannons to now he can only play the role of a mental tower, and the role of the golden finger of the system is becoming less and less for Lin Hong.

In the New Year, Lin Hong was prompted by the system that the effect of his and the queen's immortal body has been canceled, and he will also age normally from this year, and for the inheritance of the empire, the system collected Lin Hong's genetic samples and finally arranged a biochemical clone as the crown prince of the empire, of course, Lin Hong can also be born in the future.

In fact, the matter of Lin Hong's lack of an heir once caused chaos, but at that time, the royal family had a prince, and everyone or the high-level did not care, but it only caused a large wave of middle-level bureaucrats to move closer to the prince, and Lin Hong officially announced Lin Fei as the imperial prince a year ago, which completely ended the worries of officialdom and the people. Of course, the experience system of the prince Lin Fei can be regarded as arranged, he changed his name and surname since he was a child and grew up in the people, such an explanation is not wanted in most people, can a prince who grew up in the folk and the son of heaven in the future be a faint king?

From Lin Hong to the present year 1883, his age should have been 75 years old, but he is still in a physical state of 23, and it is not a problem to live another fifty or sixty years, that is to say, if he lives another 60 years until his actual age of 83 years old, his written age in this plane should be 135 years old, which can be regarded as a reasonable explanation for his high life.

In fact, Lin Hong also had to feel the power of the laws of this world. The technology of the imperial internal combustion engine has not been able to make breakthroughs, and now the thermal efficiency of the General 79 internal combustion engine used in the airship of the Imperial Air Force and the aircraft being tested has reached 14.8%, even if Lin Hong has the drawings he bought at the beginning, the current imperial researchers are still unable to do it, that is, Tesla began to be obsessed with other projects after a few months of research.

Now Lin Hong understands that all this is the law of the world at work. Especially after the system absorbed the energy in the ark of the covenant, Lin Hong is now repentant, he would have known that he would not fool the ark of the covenant, and it was really curiosity that killed the cat.

......

Min Youpeng respectfully took over the scepter symbolizing the marshal from the hand of the prince in front of him, the gilded scepter was coiled with a sky-high dragon, in addition to the scepter there was also a marshal certificate, and the parliament gave Min Youpeng the title of "Thunder Shuai"

Next, he will take the position of commander of the Guards (one of the troops directly under the emperor, the Janissary Division is still the commander of the emperor, and the royal tutor has been handed over to the crown prince Lin Fei), with a high rank but an idle position, which is obviously the military department's disposal of him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, Lin Hong secretly arrived at the Mawei shipyard and participated in the launching ceremony of a warship. This "Gale" is just a small ship, with a standard displacement of 2,300 tons and a full load displacement of 2,740 tons, which belongs to the medium-sized and small category in the division of the Imperial Navy, equipped with one main gun in the front and rear, and four auxiliary guns of 75mm caliber on the left and right sides of the ship, and the firepower on the armament is basically equivalent to that of the latest Jiaxing-class small cruisers, basically unarmored, and it basically can't stop shells with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters.

But what really excels is its power, the steam engine equipped with the Gale is the world's first steam turbine for warships, six coal-fired water-tube boilers and two small steam turbines provide 11,000 horsepower for the battleship, which makes the Gale can run at a high speed of 29 knots according to the design speed, the fastest cruiser in the world is the British "Ace" with a speed of 24 knots, and the average speed of the current imperial cruiser is 18 to 20 knots, and the fastest is 22.5 knots.

Of course, this battleship does not belong to the type of combat ship, and the Admiralty positions it as a notification ship (that is, a scout of the naval fleet), and it is still incorporated into the Royal Task Force, and the ship will undergo a lot of technical testing and refinement over the next year.

Although steam turbines are still not suitable for medium and large warships, the navy has still made significant scientific achievements in building ships.

One is welding technology and the other is water-tube boiler technology.

The principle of welding appeared at the beginning of the 19th century, and from 1885 to 1887, the Russian Bernaldos invented the carbon electrode arc welding tong, and in 1900, Lüre welding appeared.

At present, this technology is considered a state secret technology, and it will be used in the construction of Han-class battleships like water-tube boilers. The emergence of welding will replace the riveting production mode in the current shipbuilding industry, whether it is military or civilian in the current world's ship production, the connection between the deck and the deck armor and the armor is riveted one by one, and the use of welding will further shorten the production cycle and maintenance time of the ship, save materials, and will greatly improve the utilization rate of the ship's displacement, the rivet has weight after all, the weight of the original rivet after welding, the warship can bring several more base ammunition or fuel, Civilian ships can be loaded with more goods.

Another technology, the water-tube boiler, will bring the boiler efficiency to 90, which is more than double the efficiency of the horizontal and round boilers that are now widely available, but the disadvantage is that it is huge, but it is not a problem at all when installed on large battleships and cruisers.

On the drawings of the Naval Ship Design Institute, the new Han-class battleships will all use these two technologies, and the results of the engineers and designers from the drawing design data alone show that the Han-class battleships will be equipped with eight caliber main guns (four twin-packed), twelve caliber auxiliary guns (six-seat twin-packed), and sixteen 75mm caliber auxiliary guns (eight-seat twin-packed), etc., and after adding these two advanced technologies, The speed of the battleship with a displacement of 12,000 tons to 14,000 tons will reach 18 knots, which is the same as the average speed of the current imperial cruisers, of course, the speed of the cruiser will also increase a lot, and the main gun originally installed on the Han class according to the metric caliber should be 300 mm, but this is obviously 5 mm smaller than the caliber of the next British battleship, so the Naval Research Institute and the Southern Military Industrial Group can only redevelop the caliber of the main gun.

If it weren't for the suppression of the forces of the world's laws, Lin Hong would have absolutely reason to believe that the technology of the steam turbine would make a major breakthrough (the key to the current large-scale steam turbine is that the rubber technology in the turbine is not up to par, and the Gale is actually used for experiments), which can be completely installed on battleships, and the Chinese Navy will open the era of dreadnoughts.
