Chapter 66: Dreadnought Battleship

This is the first time that Zhang Hongbin has sent the purchased goods directly to the real world in the supermarket.

I used to think it was too appalling, and I was worried that it would cause some trouble. Now that he is the emperor, he is also widely known. Then, it's easy to leave something somewhere at night, believing that the movement won't attract too many people's attention, especially if it's already been reported.

Five dreadnought-class battleships are not cheap, especially the first one, which is more than three times the price, with the most advanced radar system, the most advanced sonar system, the most advanced fire control system, and of course, the most advanced steam system. It can be said that there are very, very many advanced technologies on it, so if Zhang Hongbin wants to buy a dreadnought-class battleship, he must first pay for the use of these technologies.

After a sale, the country lost at least 150,000 taels of silver, but you must know that the price of the inferior Dingyuan-class battleships was 370,000 pounds sterling at that time, and the conversion rate between the price of silver and the pound sterling at that time was basically one to one, which was equivalent to 370,000 taels of silver. Not to mention, in this era of even more technologically backward ones, such battleships are completely priceless.

150,000 is not a loss, but the only bad thing about trading with the supermarket is that there is no way to earn back the money from the supermarket.

Pure entry and exit is not a good thing for economic development. But if Zhang Hongbin had come to this world alone and had no golden finger at all, God knows what the scene would be like now? It is said that there are gains and losses, and some things just can't be taken care of so much.

According to the shopping guide, the five dreadnought-class battleships must be repaired and transformed in the supermarket for ten days, which is what Zhang Hongbin requested, after all, such good things and weapons and equipment naturally need to be the best. At the same time, it must also go through some maintenance, after all, according to the shopping guide, so advanced things, the failure rate reaches 85%, if it is not overhauled, it is simply looking for abuse.

For example, if the boiler suddenly explodes, or the shell fired not only did not go out, but also exploded in the barrel, no matter what the situation is, it is better not to have such a thing as a failure.

As for the CD, it was delivered to the Yangon military port three days later. From Chang'an to Yangon, three days is already a speed. Obviously, everyone knew that the sooner things were delivered to the military port, the more time the officers and men of the navy would have to learn and get to know the new ships.

The soldiers who came into contact with the disc for the first time, under the leadership of Liu Ruoqi, put the disc into the projector, and then began to study under their stunned eyes. In fact, not only them, but even Liu Ruoqi and Zheng Chenggong were stunned.

A battleship of this class, with combat power of this scale, is simply unheard of, and even they are wondering, this thing can really be made by humans? However, it was seven days later that the answer was obtained.

It was late at night, and they were scheduled to receive these five Dreadnought-class battleships from the Yashan Society tonight. Probably curious about what the Yashan Society was like, so Liu Ruoqi and Zheng Chenggong sent several shifts of people to keep watch at the port day and night, just hoping to meet the researchers of the Yashan Society in person. Of course, it's hard to say if there are other ideas.

After all, who doesn't know that it was with the support of the Yashan Society that Emperor Zhang Hongbin embarked on the road of warlords, and finally became the emperor of China.

As far as they are concerned, even if they can't be emperors in China, they can be kings of vassal states somewhere, such as Africa or something, I believe it's pretty good. The premise is that they really have this idea, and ignore the Chinese tradition of returning the fallen leaves to their roots.

Everyone was looking at the port, and everyone was keeping an eye on the other side of the sea, hoping to see the appearance of Yashan Society in person.

As a result, when everyone just blinked slightly, they unexpectedly found that there were five more huge warships on the dock at some point...... If it weren't for the fact that the military port had emptied all the ships in accordance with the regulations before, and the dock had been expanded several times, I am afraid that it might not be able to accommodate these five huge warships.

They are so majestic, so beautiful. For all the non-commissioned officers of the navy, they are the five most perfect beauties, and no one can compare to them. Everyone forgot about the Yashan Society and the strange things that happened before, and ran to the dock one after another, silently stroking the shells of the five battleships with their gentle hands.

The temperature coming from the cold shell can most truly feel that they are real.

"Any thoughts?" Zheng Chenggong looked at Liu Ruoqi.

"It's more shocking than the data, and it's more exciting than what you see in the video!" Liu Ruoqi sighed.

"I mean, shall we go up and have a look?" Zheng Chenggong pointed to the largest one a little excitedly.

"Nonsense, I want the first!" Liu Ruoqi shouted excitedly, and then ran away.

At that moment, everyone really forgot to explore the secrets of the Yashan Society, and just wanted to feel the charm of these five battleships up close.

"Wow! Such a large barrel, really the same as the parameters given, can hit twenty nautical miles? Stroking the barrel, Liu Ruoqi was extremely excited.

"The maximum range is thirty nautical miles, the effective range is twenty nautical miles, and it relies on radar and fire control systems to aim...... Haha, doesn't that mean that we can sink him before anyone else sees us! Zheng Chenggong was also very excited.

"Speaking of which, according to the parameters of the video, what is the effective range of the radar?" Liu Ruoqi asked.

"Fifty nautical miles, no movement within fifty nautical miles can escape our eyes!" Zheng Chenggong almost didn't cheer.

"me, I've never seen this kind of steam engine at all, and the maximum speed can really reach 21 knots?" When they arrived at the engine room, the two went crazy again.

"My X's, what a luxurious captain's cabin, I like it!" The two went to the captain's room again, and then Zheng Chenggong directly made the bed in the room.

"Hey, this is my flagship! These five battleships were allocated to us against the Manchus! Liu Ruoqi immediately quit.

"I said, Commander, let's talk about it...... Let us have one for the East China Sea Fleet! Zheng Chenggong came back to his senses and immediately asked flatteringly.

"No way, unless you say that you will mobilize the East China Sea Fleet to equip it!" Liu Ruoqi's position is very firm, after all, this kind of good thing is naturally best held in his hand.

"Ahem...... Commander, shouldn't we start actually operating these five battleships? Also, here is the order from the Feng East China Sea Fleet, asking Commander Zheng to quickly return to your post, you have been out for too long. At this time, the adjutant walked in.

"Alas...... I'm going to leave so soon......" Zheng Chenggong immediately coaxed down and left helplessly.

"Slow down and don't send it!" Liu Ruoqi sat on the bed and beckoned to him.
