Chapter 55: The warship is built

"Logistics?" Huang Yueying laughed with a smile: "Describing transportation as logistics, this name is really appropriate!" ”

Lu Bu smiled awkwardly, and he accidentally said another modern term.

Fortunately, now Huang Yueying's roots are not strange.

And the same two mechanical geniuses are mixed together, and the creativity is simply leveraged.

The development of the wooden ox and flowing horse has come to an end, and the next task that Lu Bu has set for Huang Yueying is the train.

The principle of the train is actually very simple, but to really build such a large body, it takes a lot of time to develop and make various parts.

Although there is a huge shortage of steel and not a single rail is missing, the research process can be done first.

Lu Bu and Huang Yueying studied the train together for three months, and finally figured out the overall structure.

Lu Bu originally thought that it would be easy to complete, but when he actually did it, he knew how difficult it was.

There is no way, there are too few people who really understand technology, and they have to do everything themselves.

Fortunately, the research and development was finally successful. Although it is a simple version, it is also a train that can drive.

Seeing the miniature version of the ten trains whizzing along the circular track, everyone present was excited.

This is an epoch-making transportation artifact.

Good things happened one after another, and just after the train was officially developed, the warship originally formulated by Lu Bu was finally created.

A few days later, Lu Bu and his ministers came to the East China Sea to witness this historic moment.

"Report to the Lord, the Weiyuan is ready to continue, please instruct!" Guan Cheng learned a modern military salute and reported.

"Set sail!" Lu Bu said in a positive voice.

"Yes!" After answering the question, Guan Cheng turned on the spot, and then trotted out.

A moment passed.

"The Lord has an order, open the gate and set sail!"

With the command of the manager, a large number of soldiers began to rotate the axis, and the gate slowly opened.

Then, a large amount of seawater poured in, and the warship finally floated slowly.

The ship was 108 meters long and 49 meters wide. Although it is not as big as Zheng He's ship in the Western Ocean during the Ming Dynasty, it is already the largest ship in this era.

What's more, the warship has state-of-the-art watertight cabin technology as well as a steam engine-powered turbine propeller.

This is countless times more advanced than the original warships that were purely powered by artificial and wind power.

Lü Bu believed that such a warship would have been able to cross the Pacific Ocean.

After all, such a warship, which is also a pre-stage warship, is only used for transition.

In the near future, there will be even more awesome warships.

Soon, the sea level and the warship was fully raised.

Everyone present praised it.

"Praise, praise, such a big ship, it's a miracle!"

"yes, it's the biggest ship I've ever seen in my life. Such a miracle can only be done by the lord! ”

"With this warship, there is no place in the world!"

"Hahaha, I really want to get on the boat and sit down!"

……

Lu Bu smiled, he really thought it was fun to take a boat. If you get seasick, it's like life or death.

This is also the reason why Lu Bu asked all the conquest troops to select the navy before.

At the same time, all the staff on the Weiyuan were engrossed in their work.

This is the first voyage, and all kinds of data have to be recorded.

With the start of the steam engine, the warship finally moved slowly.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it is out of the harbor.

It's a headwind, and if there is no steam engine, Yagen'er can't go to sea.

And the goal of this voyage is the Wa Kingdom.

While testing the warship, Lu Bu also asked the Weiyuan to determine the navigation line and prepare for the future expedition.

It is 1,000 kilometers from the East China Sea to the Wakoku, and with the current navigation technology, it will take at least two days to make a round trip.

Therefore, as the warship slowly disappeared into the sea level, Lu Bu led his ministers back to the naval base to visit.

Lu Bu didn't go to tell the ministers about the science that the earth is round, anyway, it doesn't make much sense to say it now.

Three days later, the Weiyuan returned home.

"Report to the Lord, the first trial voyage of the Weiyuan has ended. The sailing condition was very good, and the top speed without sails was 36 miles per hour, and the top speed of this voyage was 62 miles per hour. ……”

Managing various reports, Lu Bu nodded from time to time.

Don't be afraid of slowness, as long as everything is running smoothly on the warship, that's the best result.

In the future, technology will improve, and nothing will be a problem.

"Good, good!" Lu Buzan said: "Pass the order and go all out to build warships." Three months later, Ben Hou will see ten large warships! ”

"No!" Guan Cheng hugged his fist and received his life.

As long as the first warship is built, the speed behind it will naturally be fast.

Because many materials are constantly being produced. For the rest, most of them are assembled.

Yes, three months. Three months later, Lü Bu was going to use troops against the Japanese state.

If he doesn't plunder the population, he doesn't know when and when he will be able to build a railway.

And without rail transport, he simply could not go on an expedition.

Looking at the current war, Cao Cao wants to fight Yuan Shang, and he has to prepare for a year first.

Establish front-line positions, organize the people to transport grain, and so on. These logistical tasks will not be completed without spending more than a few months.

Excluding all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, the two sides of the war are fighting for materials, money, and national strength.

And Lu Bu's goal is the whole world, so there must be a railway as a transportation of materials.

Otherwise, once the logistics cannot keep up, the front-line troops will face the disaster of annihilation.

For the expedition three months later, Lu Bu also issued a series of orders.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In ancient times, when transportation was not developed, this was the truth.

Fortunately, now that Xuzhou has a bumper harvest, Lu Bu has stored grain in various places, so as long as he doesn't go on an expedition, he doesn't need to transport any grain at all.

At this time, Lu Bu's long-awaited bank was finally launched.

As soon as the newspaper reported it, the world shook.

All the candidates were stunned, they never imagined that Lu Bu would still have this hand.

After the shock, everyone could only be silent. Because of what Lu Bu created, they couldn't copy.

At the same time, almost all business people held clan meetings to discuss.

Naturally, it is not worth believing Lu Bu, and it is worth keeping money in Xuzhou.

You know, according to the newspapers, the bank will not only help them manage their money, but also give them interest.

It can be said that this is simply a great thing.

However, when you deposit gold and silver in the bank, all you get is a stack of paper.

If you can't cash it in, it won't be a loss.

So, most people hesitated.

In the end, none of the families deposited money in Xuzhou, and only the merchants who needed to buy goods in Xuzhou stored some of the gold and silver.

And this part of the storage is basically the amount of products they are about to use to buy products.

Therefore, in the final result, the actual effect of the bank did not meet Lu Bu's expectations.

However, Lu Bu was not discouraged, and he demanded that all bank staff must have good service.

This is the tertiary industry.

Lu Bu believes that it will not be long before the banking business will develop.

What made Lu Bu cry and laugh was that there were few people who saved money, but there were a lot of loans.

In order to stabilize the banking business, Lü Bu had to borrow a large amount of money from the state treasury to the bank.

Of course, Lu Bu demanded that the loan recipients must be strictly examined, and at the same time, a credit system should be established.

Lu Bu didn't want to make a lot of dead accounts.

At present, only loans are given to the population under Lu Bu's rule.

If it is released to people from other states, hehe, it will definitely be a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never go back.

Xuzhou has become the commercial center of the country and the largest commercial transit station.

Almost every day, a large number of businessmen come to Xuzhou to buy goods.

Soon, a shocking news broke out, causing almost all merchants to deposit a large amount of money in the bank.
