Although the turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform washed ashore was still some distance from the stands, it still caused a lot of confusion. People are wondering in panic what is wrong with this ship? Could it be that there are major flaws in this new technology?

At this time, Rooks had already stood up regardless of his image.

Just now, he already felt that he had lost this order from the Imperial Navy. The Sailfish-class corvettes were already the limit of this type of ship design, and they were impeccable in their flawlessness, but they met the Turtle class with a completely new power system.

The Sailfish class is already lagging behind.

At this time, the sudden "loss of control" of the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform allowed Rooks to see the Imperial Navy order fly back into his hands.

"See? It is not so easy to build an engine with a new concept, especially this technology of direct gasification of seawater, there are many problems in the design and manufacturing process, and the slightest mistake can cause the whole ship to lose control.

The Turtle-class multifunctional combat platform still has a long way to go if it wants to become a full-fledged warship.

Your Excellency the Governor and Marshal...... The Sailfish-class corvettes are the ones you need, and the Turtle-class, despite its advanced engine technology, is too risky.

I recommend ......"

At this time, Da Liang interrupted Rookes: "Mr. Rookes, please don't comment too soon until you see the truth of the matter.

My ship is named a multi-purpose combat platform, not a multi-purpose combat platform at sea, because it is not only able to navigate the sea, but it is still a very powerful heavy support combat unit on land.

Marquises, marshals.

Next on display is the Turtle-class multifunctional combat platform, capable of operating on land. As you can see, my warship can sail not only on the sea, but also on rocky land, sandy land, swamps, rivers, lakes, gentle steppes.

Of course, when driving on land, the turtle class needs to use up its own reserve water, so the maximum cruising range is only 400 kilometers and the speed is 50 kilometers per hour.

Although it has no way to fight deep on land, it can carry a heavily armed mechanized battalion at a time, land at any point along the coastline, and threaten targets up to 400 kilometers deep.

……”

Marshal Hopkin's eyes lit up completely.

The marshal was born in the army, and the Flominck Empire was a continental armyism, and at its peak, it could cross the Death Desert to rival the eastern countries and poach Marcellus by force.

The Army is the label of the Frominque Empire, and also the honor of the Empire.

However the Navy ...... Although the emperor attached great importance to the construction of the Grand Fleet of the Navy, Field Marshal Hopkin was very uncomfortable when he was appointed Minister of the Navy.

Now, he was told that "the navy can also go to the land to conquer cities." ”

The heart of the army inside Marshal Hopkin's naval uniform burned brightly.

He likewise stood up and looked at the turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform on the beach, which the land didn't stop. At a time when everyone thought it was out of order, the battleship continued on its way. White mist from the steam erupted from all sides of the rubber skirt, and the engine and propeller roared loudly.

The Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform demonstrates its ability to act on land. The shock of a battleship that could land made everyone stand up.

Anyone who knows a little about military affairs realizes that when this kind of warship officially enters the naval sequence, there will be no coast in the world that is safe.

It not only brought about a change in the design of ships, but also brought a revolution to the world's naval warfare strategy.

Right now...... The Grand Fleet of the Imperial Naval Force of Flamence will be the first to equip such amphibious warships. And the Black Fire Company, which designed this kind of warship, is located in Saroyan and has a close cooperative relationship with the Empire.

The sea power of the world's maritime powers is about to face a major challenge.

After Marshal Hopkin watched the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform return to the water, he said excitedly to Da Liang: "Young Master Liang, I apologize to you for my ignorance. Your battleship is too powerful...... The Imperial Navy decided to purchase only the Turtle-class multifunctional combat platform of the Black Fire Company for the warships purchased this time.

You can quote. If the price is right, the Imperial Navy can increase the number of ships purchased. I also think the Army will be interested in the Turtle class, and I will introduce it to my colleagues. ”

Although there were some twists and turns in the purchase of warships by the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet this time, the result was still the same as Da Liang expected. The advantages of the hovercraft in this level are too great, and the alchemy technology provided by the Great Tomb has perfectly solved the defects of the original hovercraft.

With an order from the Imperial Navy, the Blackfire shipyard was able to train its own shipwrights and ship designers.

Da Liang quoted: "The initial model of the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform, that is, the bare ship, is 170,000 gold pounds each. You can buy it and install weapons and equipment according to your needs......

According to the indicators given by the Imperial Navy and the weapons and equipment provided, the Black Fire Shipyard can also specially design a deployment plan for the use of space. The price of the custom ship will be discussed again, but the total cost should not exceed 250,000 gold pounds. ”

Marshal Hopkin couldn't believe his ears, 170,000 gold pounds for a turtle class! The price is only a quarter of that of a Sailfish-class corvette. Although the initial model of the Turtle class is a bare ship, the Empire's own weapons can cost a few dollars, which is simply the price of cabbage.

It's a custom model of 250,000 gold pounds, which is far less than a regular corvette.

This is a battleship that can land, how can it be sold so cheaply?

Marshal Hopkin felt that his ears might have misheard: "Young Master Liang." Is it really 170,000 gold pounds for a turtle-level multi-functional combat platform? You should know...... The Sailfish-class corvettes at Rookes Shipyard are 670,000 gold pounds each. ”

Hearing Marshal Hopkin say his name, the stunned Rookes couldn't help but shudder.

Today, Rookes has experienced great sorrows and joys, ups and downs, and the dust has settled at this time, and as a result, his identity seems to have been hollowed out. He knew that Rookes was about to face a cold winter, and he didn't know if he could survive it......

Da Liang smiled: "That's right, it's 170,000 gold pounds." The most valuable thing about this ship is its bottom engine assembly, which accounts for 80% of the entire ship's construction.

The hull part is worthless. There is no need to go into the water, and it can be welded directly on land with steel plates. After it is built, you can drive it into the sea......

Engine and powertrain parts can be sold separately, not only for repairs, but also for other types of hovercraft.

Marshal, how many turtle-class ships are you going to want? ”

"300 Turtle-class multi-functional combat platforms, and then purchase an additional 400 sets of engine assemblies ......"
