Thank you for the two monthly passes rewarded by the book friend 160725192036456 Gongzi!

Cao Cao asked: "Lao Gan, how many third-class and fourth-class ships have been built in the past year?" ”

Ganfu replied excitedly: "A total of seven fourth-class ships and eight giant third-class ships have been built!" ”

The giant third-class ship in Ganfu's mouth is a kind of heavy warship equipped by the Wei army in the last two years, which is similar to the previous third-class ship, but it is more than 60 meters long and equipped with 80 ballistas, while the previous third-class ship is only about 50 meters long and equipped with 70 ballistas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis new third class ship is even more powerful.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Okay!" Very good! Better than I expected! ”

Then he showed a thoughtful look, "In the future, the war with the Romans may have to be solved mainly by sea power!" ”

"Your Majesty, these seven newly-built fourth-rank ships are different from the previous ones!" The dry man rushed to the tunnel.

"Oh! Hehe, looking at your appearance, it should be more powerful than the previous fourth-tier ship, right? Cao Cao was looking forward to it.

The godman nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty is wise, it is true!" This new fourth-class ship is forty-two meters long! ”

"What?! Forty-two meters!? Cao Cao looked shocked, no wonder the original fourth-class ship was only about twenty meters.

"Yes! Forty-two meters! Equip twenty-eight ballistas! The power is far higher than that of the previous Tier 4 ships! ”

"What about speed?"

"Due to the use of larger sails, the speed is the same as that of the original fourth-tier ship!"

Cao Cao laughed, "Haha! Good! That's great! I'm going to see who can stand up to these sea beasts in my hands!" Lao Gan, you did a good job, all the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute did a good job! I have lived up to my high hopes! Come! ”

The herald who was waiting at the door immediately entered the main hall: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

"Decree the treasury of the palace, allocate 100,000 taels of silver to reward the technicians of the Martial Arts Research Institute! At the same time, the Ministry of Officials will be promoted to a first-level official rank for all the technicians of the Martial Arts Research Institute! ”

"No!" The herald answered and withdrew from the main hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" The godman bowed gratefully.

Cao Cao walked to the bottom of the steps, helped the godmaster, patted the godman on the shoulder, and said with some emotion: "Lao Gan, you have followed me for more than ten years, right?" ”

Ganfu said excitedly: "Seventeen years! At that time, Lao Chen was just a little-known carpenter, and Blacksmith Wang was just a blacksmith master in the county! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes! Seventeen years! That's fast! It's like it was yesterday! Well, let's not talk about that! ”

Cao Cao returned to the top and sat down, and said to the cadre: "Old Gan, the role of fire oil on the battlefield is becoming more and more prominent, you must work this!" ”

"Yes! Lao Chen understands! The godman said respectfully.

Cao Cao pondered: "The titles of fourth-class ships and third-class ships don't feel very good! ”

The godman hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Please give your majesty a name!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, and his mind moved, "That's it!" The original fourth-class ships are called 'frigates', the new fourth-class ships are called 'destroyers', well, the original third-class ships are called 'light cruisers', and the new third-class ships are called 'heavy cruisers!'" 'Hehe, now the fleet is fully equipped! ”

Cao Cao picked up the tea at hand and drank it.

Ganfu recited it silently and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is really good at learning!" ”

Cao Cao almost squirted the tea out of his mouth and smiled.

"By the way, Your Majesty, our Martial Arts Research Institute has made a new set of armor! It's heavy armor! ”

"New armor? Is it any different from the original armor? ”

The godman hurriedly said: "The old minister has already brought!" I wonder if Your Majesty wants to take a look? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Lao Gan, you don't want to sell Guanzi!" Call them in! ”

"Yes!"

The godman agreed, and then raised his voice outside the hall: "Your Majesty has a decree to present the new armor!" ”

Immediately, two strong men dressed in the uniforms of the Martial Arts Academy came to the hall carrying a box, and the two looked a little nervous.

Cao Cao walked down the steps to the large box and motioned for it to be opened.

A strong man hurriedly opened the box, and a set of dark armor appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Lao Gan, is this just a set?" ”

Ganfu nodded, "Yes! It's just one set! ”

Cao Cao glanced at the armor in front of him, raised his head, and said to Dian Wei, who was standing aside with a curious face: "Dian Wei, put it on for me!" ”

"No!" Dian Wei promised, and immediately took off the armor and helmet on his body, and then put on this new set of armor with the help of the two strong men.

The tiger-faced helmet is more imposing, the protection area is larger and more reasonable, and the armor on the front chest and back is divided into two layers, and the outermost layer is a plate armor formed by connecting a whole steel plate.

The defensive effect of this plate armor is extremely good, it is impossible for a bow and arrow to penetrate it, it is difficult for a strong crossbow to penetrate it, the blade is useless to cut on it, and the attack effect of a blunt weapon is also greatly reduced, below this layer of plate armor is a layer of chain mail, chain mail has a very good effect on defensive weapons and blunt weapons, these two layers of armor are superimposed together, almost making the enemy's melee attack completely ineffective, the shape of the whole set of armor is very, well, in today's words, it is very windy, giving people a very fierce feeling.

Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim, "Good! Very good! Dian Wei, how do you feel? ”

Dian Wei couldn't put it down, and stroked the breastplate, "Your Majesty, I think this armor is very comfortable to wear!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked again, "Is it heavy?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head, "It's similar to my original armor!" ”

Ganfu explained, "The weight of this heavy armor is comparable to that of the original heavy armor, but the defensive effect has been increased a lot! Oh, and a visor! With that, the clerk went to the box and found a metal covering.

This metal cladding is also black, I don't know if it's intentional, the face of the metal cladding looks very murderous.

Cao Cao asked Dian Wei to put on the covering, looked at it, and exclaimed: "Good! It's an Iron Warrior! Lao Gan, the shape of the metal cladding should be like this, and it should be so murderous! ”

"Yes!" The godman happily agreed.

"Lao Gan, how much does this armor cost? It can't be several times the original heavy armor, right? Cao Cao asked.

Ganfu replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the cost of this heavy armor is only sixty percent higher than the original heavy armor, but the defensive effect is almost twice as high!" ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's good!" This heavy armor can be used as a replacement for the original heavy armor! From now on, all the production capacity of the heavy armor will be used to produce this new type of heavy armor! Is there a problem? ”

"No problem! Your Majesty, rest assured! ”

Cao Cao said: "Discuss the matter of funds with the cabinet!" ”

"Yes! If nothing else, the old minister will retire! ”

Cao Cao nodded.

The godman saluted Cao Cao, turned his head and saw that Dian Wei was still admiring his new image in the sauchery, and looked at Cao Cao as if asking for help.

Cao Cao smiled: "Hehe, okay, don't appreciate it!" You will all have better ones in the future! Now give it back to the old man! And that's just a sample! ”

Dian Wei answered, and reluctantly took off his armor.

The old man ordered the armor to be put back into the box, and said to Dian Wei with a smile: "General Dian Wei, in the future, the old man will definitely make a set for you!" ”

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, and he raised his fingers, "Then, this is what you said!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" He then saluted Cao Cao and left with two of his men carrying the box.

Dian Wei glanced at Lao Gan's back and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if our soldiers all wear this kind of armor, they will be able to break in with their eyes closed!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "I want to too!" But it's impossible! The cost of this kind of armor is more than ten times that of ordinary light armor, and if it is to be fully equipped, even with the strength of our Great Wei Empire, it is not only unaffordable! This armor can only be equipped to a small number of elite troops! For example, the Modao Army! ”

Dian Wei nodded as if he didn't understand, grinned at his head, and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, picked up the fold in his hand and looked at it.

Just then, a herald rushed in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Yang Qianhu's flying pigeon biography!" The herald reported, took out a herald, and held it high with both hands.

Dian Wei immediately took the handbook and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened the book, read it, frowned, and muttered, "Damn! Not a good thing! The Jin people actually tried to produce a powerful cannon! ”

Dian Wei on the side was taken aback, "Shenwei Cannon!?" ”

Dian Wei had seen the terrifying power of the Shenwei Cannon.

Cao Cao nodded, frowned, and said, "In this way, I'm afraid that when facing the attack of the Jin people, it will be much more difficult!" ”

Dian Wei slapped his chest and said in a proud voice: "Your Majesty, we can let them not have a chance to use the Divine Power Cannon at all!" What if there is a chance? If you want to conquer the city, you have to rely on hand-to-hand combat! In hand-to-hand combat, they Jin people can't compete with our Great Wei Iron Army at all! ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Okay! You can say that again! ”

Cao Cao handled official business in the Qianqing Palace until noon.

Cao Cao rubbed his slightly swollen temples and got up to leave the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Cao returned to the harem and went straight to Diao Chan's dormitory, but when Cao Cao arrived, Diao Chan was not there.

Cao Cao asked the palace maid in the dormitory, and the palace maid told Cao Cao, "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang was taken away by Concubine Yan!" It seems to be going to Concubine Tong's foreign house! ”

The so-called 'foreign family' is the mother's family.

Li Qingtong's maiden family was originally in Liaodong, but since Li Qingtong became Cao Cao's concubine, the Li family moved from Liaodong to the capital, just on Suzaku Street near the palace.

Most of the people living on this Suzaku Street are the ministers of the current dynasty or their related families.

Cao Cao listened to the palace maid's reply, and couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred, "Hmph, this Yan'er who has forgotten the pain after the scar is good!" See how I punish you at night! Thinking like this, the expression on his face was a little hideous. (To be continued.) )
