Wade's report was quickly sent back to the Enclave, but the Enclave's intelligence department did not report it immediately, but asked his spy to find out more about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the Steam Battleship hasn't been in this world for more than a hundred years, and it doesn't seem necessary to make a fuss about it. So Mr. '007' Wade had no choice but to go to the dock of the warship to see what was going on.

"How could anyone want to build a steam battleship? It's useless to make this thing! Wade used his break to go to the dockyard, he had thought it would be a secret event with danger and excitement, but who knew that there were so many people going to see the battleship.

Now the 'Aurora Army' is still in the initial stage, the police department has just been set up, and the counterintelligence department has not yet been found. The dock of the ship repair yard was lined with small bulk carriers waiting to be converted, and many people were pointing at an armored warship that had just installed its turret.

Florida is off the coast, and the 'Aurora Army' has looted a lot of large yachts worth tens of millions. In order to adapt to the coal-burning power, now a yacht was removed from the hull, the main engine, and a large hole was dug in the place of the fore and aft decks.

As Wade could see, the yacht had been draped with a hundred millimeters of armor, a two-hundred-millimeter riveted turret had been installed, and a thick barrel was sticking out of the turret. In addition, four small turrets were installed on the yacht, and a 20-mm cannon was used as a defensive weapon.

"If this thing really goes to the sea, it seems to have some combat power!" Seeing the real thing, Wade had an intuitive understanding of this modified battleship in his heart, and the only thing to be sure now is its power and specific launch date.

"Can we use this battleship?" Due to the large number of people who came to see the excitement at the scene, Wade looked for someone in the crowd who understood the situation and asked.

A worker in a ship repair yard shouted with a big mouth: "Not to mention compared with the current warships, even compared with the regular warships of a hundred years ago, our modified cargo is also far behind." But its advantage lies in solving the problem of whether the navy has or not!

However, we lacked welding equipment, the armor plates were riveted, and the keel of the yacht was weak, so the battleship would certainly not be able to withstand a strong shelling.

But our opponent is now armed with speedboats, and the weapons they are equipped with are point 50 caliber machine guns and 20 mm caliber machine guns, and the power of these two weapons is not enough to penetrate 100 mm thick armor, and I think we can still fight. ”

As soon as he heard 'it can be a battle', Wade had to lift his spirits and continue to ask, "What kind of power does this battleship use?" Did we decide to turn on fuel stocks to support this small gunboat? ”

As soon as they were asked about the power, the workers in the ship repair yard immediately shouted: "Our fuel stocks cannot support the large-scale use of internal combustion engines, but we have achieved great results in transforming steam power!"

We are now using a lot of 20-horsepower steam engines to generate electricity, and low-pressure boilers for heating, although the technology is a little lower but very practical. Even if you don't have coal, you can use firewood. Fortunately, Nassau's forestry resources are quite abundant, and we have recently had tens of thousands of people cut down trees to ensure that we do not freeze to death in the nuclear winter.

Recently, we have been building high-pressure boilers to provide steam, and instead of using a steam engine alone, the ship is said to be powered by a better steam turbine, which was originally used by the Nassau government to generate electricity.

This new system directly increased the power we now have from 100 horsepower to 1,500 horsepower. As long as the technology is stable, our small steamer can follow the progress, and the speed of the ship can be increased from the current seven or eight knots to about fifteen knots, and the transportation of materials will be faster and more convenient. ”

The end is coming, and human beings have a great existential crisis, and they are more desperate to obtain technological progress. The ship repair yard is now the core factory of the 'Aurora Army', and many people come to visit here, and everyone immediately gets a great sense of pleasure when they hear that the speed of the ship can be doubled.

"We are re-walking the path of the industrial revolution."

"Thank God we have no oil and we still have coal, and we have wood without coal. We don't have to be stuck in one place and never be able to go anywhere else in our lifetime, like our ancestors. ”

"We're going to be able to rule the whole of the Caribbean, it's not going to be a nuclear bomb yet, it's going to be our home."

Listening to the bursts of cheers from the crowd, Wade was unimpressed. He is a white supremacist, very unhappy with a Chinese ruling a group of white people, and seeing so many white people in front of him actually betray his own race, it is simply hateful.

"Steam power, then it must be a rigid connection, what a low-level technology! We 'Enclave' are the future rulers of the Americas, and we still have a large number of oil wells and refineries, and as long as we recover, this kind of small battleship is not even as good as a toy. ”

Wade was disdainful in his heart, but his face continued to ask with concern: "When will this battleship be launched?" ”

The question of the launching time obviously knocked down the workers of the ship repair yard, and the other party said after a few words: "It has been a little difficult to launch recently, we have some problems in manufacturing high-pressure boilers, and the battleship cannot be used for the time being." But I believe it can all be solved. ”

This time, Wade was even more contemptuous in his heart, "I can't even build a boiler, and I still want to fight with the great 'Enclave', it's really arrogant." I'll report this to my superiors right away and let them know about the useless work you've done here. ”

After receiving the confirmed message, Wade sent a message to the Enclave again on the encrypted radio. When they learned that the 'Aurora Legion' had really built a steam battleship, the intelligence officers of the 'Enclave' were extremely surprised.

But when they knew that due to the lack of suitable welding equipment and skilled workers, the 'Aurora Army' was having trouble manufacturing high-pressure boilers, the intelligence officers of the 'Enclave' immediately laughed, "These idiots can't be trying to use riveting methods to make high-pressure boilers, right?"

Modern industry is a tight system, and the lack of any link will be a serious shortcoming. High-pressure boilers need to be welded, welded, welded! With riveting, it will definitely leak. Hahaha......!"

However, even if he disregarded his opponents, the information was forwarded to Mr. George, the Aid Military Advisory Group, who was on a mission in Havana.

The commander of the fleet armed with speedboats was still hungover, and after receiving the information, he pondered for a long time and laughed and said: "The idiots of Matanzas want to build a steam warship? Is there something wrong with them? With multiple turrets, riveting process, steam power, rigid connections, you want to fight us at this level? It's a pig!

Since they are so stupid, then I will educate them one more time, and simply defeat their ridiculous delusions. I set out at once for Nassau to destroy their ship repair yard and make them understand that warships are not built casually. (To be continued.) )
