Chapter 363: Modern Navy

Whether it is the people of the Tiangang world or the people of the earth-shattering world, they all have the habit of wearing clothes. The people of the earth still wear clothes to resist the harsh natural environment, and the people of the Tiangang world are completely out of a certain tradition.

Nowadays, a person can have many outfits, and the demand for clothing is almost limitless. Linen and cotton, which are raw materials for clothing, are extremely adaptable to the environment. Therefore, clothing is naturally the link between agriculture and industry, and it is only natural that the first industrial revolution broke out in the textile industry.

Like clothing, where there are people, there is a road, and where there is a road, you can run a car. Cars can not only be used for convenience, but also for production, and can be reinvested as capital. Just as one person can own many outfits, one person can also own many cars. And the more vehicles you own, the more happiness you bring.

It is precisely because of the similarity of clothing and automobiles that the former made British imperialism and the latter American imperialism. Guyang's use of automobiles as the company's flagship product is not outrageous.

But unlike cloth, cars are a luxury item for all countries, and they must be heavily taxed when they are put on the market, which is unacceptable to Valan. Therefore, Valan Island must have a strong armed force to knock down the tariff barriers of various countries, so the Guyang Group must also produce strong ships and cannons.

Gu Xiaomeng fought the idea of "Terror Island" before, but after seeing Poseidonio's true strength, it is obviously unrealistic to absorb it, and he can only build it himself.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one sea area can only have one overlord, and now the enemy of Valan Island is not other island countries, but "Terror Island".

Far from being an enemy of the rest of the islands, Valan Island is now in league with the rest of the islands. The fight against piracy is the banner of the Alliance.

War is Gu Yang's strong point, but the "Tiangang World" is different from the Earth Era, the "Heavenly Monarch" itself can fly to the sky, and ordinary monks can also travel thousands of miles in an instant with the help of a small talisman. This situation is quite similar to the deep space environment.

The fleet of "Poseidonio" seems to be dominated by battleships, which, according to the experience of the Earth, are to be blocked by aircraft carriers. But unlike the Earth Navy, the crew of the pirate fleet is all "celestials", and they can fly into the sky by taking a talisman on their bodies.

Flying magic weapons such as "Escape Fu" are equivalent to carrier-based aircraft in the Tiangang world, unless Gu Yang can build a carrier-based aircraft cheaper than a flying immortal weapon, otherwise the development of an earth-type aircraft carrier is a joke.

"The purpose of naval warfare is not to kill or wound enemy ships, but to sink enemy ships. The first problem is how to effectively destroy the opponent's defenses, and the second problem is how to effectively send this effective method out......"

With these two questions, Gu Yang's figure flashed and appeared on the captured pirate ship.

The ship has been hoisted ashore, and in the huge dock, thousands of workers and array mages are carrying out an overall transformation of the giant ship. The renovation plan was proposed by Mozi, and the construction party was a shipbuilding company under the "Guyang Group", with a total budget of 10 million cents.

The new design completely abandoned hundreds of howitzer guns and sails, replacing them with five giant cannon turrets and a gas turbine. Therefore, only one mast was retained, which was used to carry radars and antennas, in the proper style of modern battleships. In addition to this, there is a huge pool of vitality under the bridge, which is equivalent to a fuel tank.

In the past, sailing ships were completely driven by the ship's friars with their own vitality, which is why they needed so many crews. Mozi directly omitted this link, and the firepower and power of the entire giant ship came entirely from the immortal coins in the Yuan Qi Pool. Once you start it, you can imagine how much it will cost.

"If you let other island nations know that Valan Island uses immortal coins to drive warships, they will definitely scold...... The money that should be spent is always spent, so that only a hundred well-trained sailors are needed to drive the battleship...... One force breaks through a hundred ingenuity, and the ants bite and kill the elephant, which is really the style of the robot. ”

Gu Yang finally looked at the thick special cannon barrel of the water tank, and sighed inexplicably in his heart.

The question is back to square one......

Since force is used as a breakthrough to break the formation of enemy ships, the yield of the bomb is naturally as large as possible. However, the length and caliber of naval guns cannot be expanded indefinitely, and the firing range cannot be extended indefinitely, so aviation bombing has become an inevitable choice, and carrier-based aircraft with a larger bomb load have also become tools that have to be considered, and the key now is to reduce the cost of carrier-based aircraft.

"The effectiveness of this ship is unknown, if it is a fuel guzzler, even if a larger aircraft carrier is feasible, it is not something that the current national strength of Valan Island can support...... But I can build an airplane first, and if I want to dominate the kingdom of the archipelago, I can't do it without convenient transportation. ”

Gu Yang quickly figured out what he should do, and drove a golden auspicious cloud straight towards the Yuan Qi Tower. After exchanging a large number of low-level materials, he was alone at the door of the house.

With his cultivation and ability, it is not difficult to refine a flying plane by refining immortal weapons, but the difficult thing is that it is safe and efficient, and it can be mass-produced. Therefore, every detail must be designed in detail.

In the "Tiangang World", there are two ways to fly to the sky, one is to directly control the rules of gravity, and the other is to use mechanical kinetic energy. All flying immortal artifacts take the first path, but they need to use several precious immortal spirit materials, and the price is naturally expensive. According to the current market of Valan Island, a low-grade flying immortal weapon that can only make people rise into the air is priced at least one million immortal coins, and it has no price.

"If the price of air tickets from Valan Island to Crystal Island can be reduced to less than 10,000 cents, there is room for the aviation industry to grow......"

After pondering for a while, Gu Yang began to design the first "turbofan engine" in the Tiangang world......

The trial of 200 pirates took place as scheduled, but after a major battle, the public was so impatient with the cumbersome process that they were eager to behead all the pirates immediately.

The court's verdict made everyone sigh, and all the pirate crew members were only sentenced to deprivation of "heavenly positions". As for the six pirate leaders, in addition to being deprived of their "heavenly position", they were sentenced to ten years in prison and given the right to appeal.

As for the Valan family, according to Gu Yang's meaning, they will wait until they are fully established before arraignment. However, the Dao Court brought the power of a great victory and the people's wishes, and the case was subsequently put on the trial schedule.

There were too many people persecuted by the Valan family, and the clues were too complicated, and the trial lasted for three months, and many ugly inside stories were gradually revealed to the public.

The reason why the Valan family unscrupulously arrested and persecuted people was to provide life for the "Walan Sky King". In the mouth of the defense lawyer, everything is the responsibility of "Wa Lantian Jun", and the core members of the Valan family who are now sitting in the defendant's seat are just executors. If they don't do it, "Wa Lantian Jun" will naturally find someone else to do it, and the result is no different.

In the end, all the members of the Valan family were sentenced to confiscate all their assets and deprive them of their "heavenly position". Patriarch Waxi was also sentenced to 10 years in prison, four of his sisters were sentenced to an additional five years, and the rest of the side branches were sentenced to two to three years in prison, depending on the circumstances of the case. Vana and other juniors who have not specifically committed evil were only sentenced to one year in prison, and they were released directly after the verdict was announced.
