The so-called palace is actually the Governor's Mansion of the Governor of the Philippines, Lin Fei has always opposed extravagance and waste, so naturally he will not build a palace for himself, so the Governor's Palace has become a palace, and the Governor's villa has become Lin Fei's private residence.

When Lin Fei returned to the villa, it was already completely dark, Lin Fei quietly walked into the villa, without making a sound, he asked the attendants to rest, and quietly went upstairs and walked to Ling Xue's house.

Ling Xue's house was still lit up, and the Spaniards had built a power plant in Manila to supply electricity to the residences of powerful people such as the Governor's Palace, and after Lin Fei took down Manila, he took over the power plant and let them continue to operate.

Lin Fei heard a strange woman's laughter coming from the room, Ling Xue was obviously not alone, who was she talking to? Lin Fei raised his feet and walked lightly, walked to the house, put his ear on the crack of the door, and only heard Ling Xue's voice sound: "Sister Zhang, Brother Da Ming will come back tomorrow, you haven't seen each other for more than a year, right?" ”

Liu Daming's wife's surname is Zhang, Lin Fei knew about this, and guessed that Ling Xue was talking to Liu Daming's wife, only to hear Zhang's giggle and say, "Xue'er, don't talk about me, isn't your good brother coming back too?" ”

Ling Xue said in a shy voice: "Why did my sister pull me......"

Zhang smiled: "Lao Liu and I are both old husbands and wives, you are different, Xiao Beisheng is newly married." ”

Ling Xue sighed lightly, "When my brother comes back, I'm afraid I'm going to ...... again Alas, I'm so scared......"

Zhang sneered: "It was like that at the beginning, and then it will be fine, I also tell you, if you don't serve him well, he will have to find someone else, I have heard that he is very close to a girl named Yu Ningshuang......"

Ling Xue exclaimed and said, "Why didn't I hear about it? Who is she? Is it pretty? ”

Zhang said with a smile: "What kind of clan is she, she is amazing, she has helped Her Majesty a lot, she looks like you, beware of your brother being snatched away by her......"

Lin Fei, who was outside the door, heard this, his heart moved suddenly, and somehow, his head hit the door, making a slight noise, Ling Xue suddenly noticed that there was someone outside the door, and his voice became alert, "There seems to be someone outside the door..."

Zhang's voice panicked suddenly, "This is His Majesty's residence, how can anyone dare to eavesdrop?" Let's call the guards quickly. ”

Ling Xue whispered, "There's no need for that, look at me." After Ling Xue finished speaking, he took out a short knife from the cabinet on the side, drew the knife in his hand, and slowly walked towards the door, Lin Fei heard Ling Xue's footsteps, and took two steps back, Ling Xue would definitely kick the door open in a while, but the door of his house was open outward, and his head had to be broken if he was close.

Lin Fei stood at a safe distance, waiting for Ling Xue to open the door, the footsteps approached the door, suddenly there was a loud "bang", the door opened with the sound of the wind, Ling Xue's delicate face, slender figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Fei's eyes, Lin Fei hadn't seen her for three months, and when I saw her today, my nose was sour, and my eyes were a little moist.

Ling Xue saw that the person standing outside the door was Lin Fei, she was so surprised that she couldn't say a word, the knife in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", raised her hand and pointed at Lin Fei, suddenly her body softened, and she fell to the ground, Lin Fei knew that she was too surprised, fainted, and was not worried, he went over and held her in his arms, and called "Xue'er" softly.

Ling Xue woke up quickly, cried loudly in Lin Fei's arms, Lin Fei held her in his arms, gently stroked her shoulders and back, the Zhang family in the room guessed Lin Fei's identity from Ling Xue's attitude, and hurriedly came over to salute, she was shocked and frightened, she opened her mouth and couldn't speak, Lin Fei stood up with Ling Xue in her arms, and smiled at Zhang: "You are your sister-in-law, right?" Lao Liu is waiting for you at home, go back quickly. ”

Zhang cried with joy, covered his face and ran out, Lin Fei closed the door casually, hugged Ling Xue to the bed, and gently kissed away the tears on Ling Xue's face, Ling Xue suddenly put her pretty face, snorted, turned around, Lin Fei held Ling Xue's shoulder and flipped her back, Ling Xue said angrily: "Why did you come back to see me?" Don't you have a patriarch's girl? ”

Lin Fei smiled, "What patriarch girl?" Or my Xue'er is the most important, you see the first thing I do when I come back is to accompany you. ”

Ling Xue heard Lin Fei say that he was "the most important", his bones were soft, his jade-white face was flushed, and he was extremely beautiful, Lin Fei didn't say a word, he kissed the red lips directly, Ling Xue dodged Lin Fei and said, "Brother...... Don't ...... like that"

Lin Fei ignored Ling Xue's plea, and took action, after a while, the passion faded, Lin Fei took Ling Xue in his arms, and said softly: "Xue'er, this time it's a lot, right?" ”

Ling Xue blushed and didn't speak, Lin Fei sneered and said, "I can see if you don't say it, seeing how excited you were just now, your face has changed......" Ling Xue stretched out her hand and twisted it on Lin Fei's chest, and said in a shy voice: "Don't say it..."

Lin Fei smiled and asked, "How is Meixiang?" I hired a famous doctor for her this time. ”

Ling Xue exclaimed in surprise and said, "This is too unfortunate, Sister Meixiang has gone out to play, and it will take a while to come back." ”

Lin Fei nodded lightly, "It seems that I have to let Master Huang wait for a while." ”

Ling Xue leaned on his chest and whispered, "Brother must have experienced a lot of things on the battlefield this time, right?" Tell me the funniest things. ”

Lin Fei heard Ling Xue's question, sighed, and shook his head again and again, Ling Xue was very puzzled, "Didn't my brother win a big battle?" Why are you sad? ”

Lin Fei clenched his fists, slapped it on the head of the bed, and said angrily: "Damn the British, if it weren't for them, I would have wiped out all the pirates..."

Ling Xue showed a gloomy expression, "I've also heard about the British, they are indeed too hateful, but they have big warships, if we want to win against them, we also need to have big warships, when will we have big warships?" ”

Lin Fei hugged Ling Xue into his arms and said, "We'll talk about this matter tomorrow, let's sleep." The two men hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the two got up, Ling Xue personally made breakfast for Lin Fei, the two chatted some gossip, Ling Xue asked, "Brother, when will we have a big battleship?" ”

Lin Fei smiled and said: "The British and the French have already formed their own fleets in this area, if we don't have our own big warships, we will inevitably be passive everywhere, so our next focus on development is to build our own big warships..."

"Now the world's large battleships have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, of which the British monarch-class has a full load displacement of 15,000 tons, and our Dragon-class cruisers have a standard displacement of only 3,000 tons, and a full load displacement is only close to 4,000 tons.

Ling Xue stuck out her tongue in disappointment, "It's only eight thousand tons, so little..."

Lin Fei smiled lightly, "Eight thousand tons is a tonnage that is more suitable for our design and construction, if you want to increase the displacement of the battleship, the size of the hull must be increased, for example, the length of the keel of the hull can increase the length of the keel of the hull, which is a big test for our metallurgical ability and machining ability." ”

"The tonnage goes up, the power system must also keep up, otherwise there will be a dilemma of small horses and carts, and now the steam engine used by the Dragon-class cruiser is still the steam engine of the civilian ship, and the small ship of 3,000 tons is barely enough, and it is not possible to advance the large ship of 8,000 tons, so we need to redesign the power system."

Ling Xue frowned, "The keel needs to be redesigned, and the power system also needs to be redesigned, it sounds so difficult." ”

Lin Fei nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's very difficult, but we have conquered Taiwan, and we can obtain a lot of resources from the mainland, and the officials and merchants along the coast of the Qing court will not refuse to do business with us for their own interests." In addition, we will not face war in the near future, so we can dive into development and construction. ”

Ling Xue said "um", and wanted to ask again, Lin Fei said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, there are still things to be busy during the day." After Lin Fei had eaten, he first went to attend the welcome ceremony held by all walks of life, Lin Fei had won a big victory in Taiwan, and he couldn't come back quietly.

The welcome ceremony lasted all morning, and Lin Fei came back in the afternoon to concentrate on preparing for the construction of the big warship, and Lin Fei embarked on the big warship project, hoping to improve the industrial level of the entire Chinese Empire with the help of the construction of the big warship.

The first thing Lin Fei did was to determine the parameters of the big battleship, and he wrote down the parameters and numbers on paper, the standard displacement, 8,000 tons, the length of the hull, 128 meters, the width, 20 meters, and the draft...... Steam engine, Lin Fei paused here when he wrote, the steam engines used by the warships in this era are all "three-expansion steam engines", the so-called "three-expansion steam engine" means that the same steam does work three times in a row, in the single-expansion steam engine, the steam only expands to do work once, and a large amount of energy is wasted, and the three-expansion steam engine expands and does work three times, which greatly improves the efficiency of energy use.

If the different types of steam engines are divided into grades, the single-expansion steam engine is the lowest, the three-expansion steam engine is more advanced, and the highest level is the steam turbine, whether it is a single-expansion steam engine or a three-expansion steam engine, the steam is intermittent work, and in the steam turbine, the steam is continuous work, and the utilization efficiency of steam energy has been greatly improved.

Once the ship uses a steam turbine, the power system will have a qualitative leap, in the era of Lin Fei, the dreadnought used a steam turbine for the first time, so that a large war ship with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons ran a high speed of 21 knots...

Lin Fei was excited and wrote the name of the steam turbine on the paper, but immediately fell into deep thought......
