Chapter 119: Building a Battleship

At this time, in the conference room of the hotel, more than forty businessmen were gathering together, and before they received the disappearance, saying that Surin wanted to see them, everyone couldn't help but speculate.

"Why don't you call us here for some business, do you?"

"Don't worry, it's useless to guess here, you won't know when Your Majesty comes. ”

Just as they were talking, Surin walked in from outside, and everyone quieted down.

After Su Lin sat on the chair above, he looked at everyone and said: "Your business is cargo transportation, and your ship was destroyed before, so I called you here this time to divide those captured warships to you and let you convert them into cargo ships." ”

Hearing this, everyone was also stunned, and then immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, after their ship was destroyed, no business could be done, and the people here could not leave if they wanted to.

Looking at the excited crowd, Su Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand to quiet them down, and continued: "Now you can go and get your ship, strive to refit it as soon as possible, and go to sea as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

After everyone left, Kesma asked with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, those are warships, isn't it too wasteful to give them to those merchants like this!"

Hearing this, Su Lin laughed: "Now we are in a time of rapid development here, and sea transportation is the only transportation channel, if you don't give those businessmen a little benefit, how can they do their best work, you have to remember that at this critical time, the country must give up some profits." ”

With that, he headed for the dock by the sea, ready for his next important meeting.

At this time, Debi and Prang, Schrieman and others were waiting in the dockyard conference room, and it was said that Surin had something important to announce.

After waiting for a while, Surin walked up with a stack of papers in his hand.

Surin then distributed the drawings to the crowd as he spoke, "Our next goal is to conquer the sea, so now we can build our own battleship. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were full of excitement, and Debi was also very excited in her heart, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"These are the blueprints for the construction of warships, which are mainly divided into four categories, heavy warships, light destroyers, and a large mobile platform on the water for taking off and landing dragons and griffins. Su Lin was also very excited when he said this, although it was a sail battleship, but in this era, it was definitely ahead of its time.

In order to make the battleship more powerful, he asked the quietly people to secretly develop artillery, starting with black powder, and he had to go and see it later.

Then he looked at the crowd and announced, "How are you doing in all respects now?"

"Don't worry about manpower, in addition to tens of thousands of skilled carpenters, there are also tens of thousands of workers, so there are enough manpower. ”

"And the timber and rivets have been prepared a long time ago, and now we are waiting for the start of construction. ”

Su Lin was also very satisfied with this, and then said to Debi: "You are in charge of the construction of the battleship, eh, the problem!"

Debbie nodded earnestly, and now she had finally found one thing she wanted to do.

After dealing with this matter, Su Lin came to the secret base for the development of gunpowder in the back mountain, and after entering, he smelled a thick smell of gunsmoke.

This research institute has been established for a while, and the research progress on gunpowder has also been completed, and now he wants to see if the artillery is ready.

Will the head of the research institute saw Su Lin walking in, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, you are here." ”

Looking at the various artillery models placed in the room, Su Lin asked with a smile, "How is the artillery research now?"

Hearing this, Will's face also sank, and he sighed and replied: "Your Majesty, the gunpowder and running have been studied so far, but the artillery tube has not been successful. ”

"What is the reason?"

"The main thing is that the quality of the iron is not good, so it will blow up the chamber, and many people have been injured by the explosion. ”

Hearing this, Su Lin couldn't help but sigh, it was not a day or two that Logo was short of iron, and now it was another time when iron was urgently needed, but Logo had no iron available.

Immediately after that, Will took Surin to the warehouse where the shells were stored, and when he walked in, Surin was also very surprised, and almost came to the modern arsenal later.

I saw that there were dense shells on the shelves, not the kind of round, and they were very similar to modern howitzers, and they were so in appearance.

Seeing this, he hurriedly asked: "What is the working principle of these shells?"

"Your Majesty, these shells are filled with gunpowder specially made by us, and after the shells go out, if they are hit violently, then they will explode, so we usually keep them very carefully. Will explained with a solemn face, he had seen the power of gunpowder, and it was too scary.

Surin only artillery has been around for a while, and the most important thing at the moment is to get the fine iron, and he is considering whether to go to Nord and find the dwarven brother Osside for relief.

At this time, tens of thousands of people were working intensively in the six docks by the sea, some were transporting timber, and some were directing, a busy scene.

Debbie wore a hard hat and discussed with Schleiman and the others in a corner: "Have you seen this closed compartment before?"

"No, I guess His Majesty invented it!"

"Don't worry about it so much, just do it, and make sure the quality is guaranteed. ”

Now that Debi is the commander-in-chief here, she has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, so she has moved here to deal with emergencies all the time.

At the same time, the church also sent people to send gold coins from the Three Kingdoms, and Luo Ge received 20 million gold coins, and a lot of money will be credited every year in the future.

Now the church is also in decline, and the people in the country are also very dissatisfied with the huge indemnity they signed, and the church is careful to maintain its rule under such circumstances.

Immediately after returning to Curtis, Lance sent his troops to cross the river and attack Garris, a breath he could not swallow in any way.

However, King Garris also knew that they could not be defeated, so he immediately sent peace to negotiate, and finally lost a large amount of money to end the matter.

Two months later, all aspects of Loggo were also on normal track, and merchant ships were once again moving all kinds of goods by sea.

At the same time, Gru's hundreds of thousands of troops also returned, and Surin immediately sent most of them to the Canberra Gorge to garrison, and now the only threat to Loggo was the orcs from outside.

As long as the artillery is developed, it will be easy to clean up the group of orcs, but now it can rely on the number of people.

That night, Su Lin came to the dock again to inspect, and saw that the hull of the battleship had been built in a third, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at this future sea beast.

At this time, he saw Debi calmly commanding on the side, and felt that she had really grown a lot, so he didn't bother him anymore, turned around and walked out.

When Felicia entered the room, she saw him looking out the window in a daze, and she couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking, are you thinking about which woman?"

"Am I that? I'm thinking about a big thing. ”

After that, Surin put her on his lap, he was worried that although the construction of warships had begun, there would only be a dozen in a year, which was far from meeting his needs.

After knowing his worries, Felicia also smiled and said: "It's very simple, you can go to other countries and choose a few shipyards and give them the courage to do it!"

As soon as he heard this, Su Lin's eyes lit up, isn't this the foreign trade list between countries in his previous life, thinking of this, he immediately took Felicia in his arms and spun around in the house, and then threw her on the boat, and pounced on herself.

The next day, Surin sent a message to six other countries, saying that a bidding conference for warships would be held in Banhard, and that Logo would provide the drawings at that time, and they would be responsible for the construction, with no limit on the number of people and no limit on the order.

After breakfast, Surin went to the yard to tease his two daughters.

At this time, Amanda also came over and said to Su Lin: "Lin, I am almost in good health now, and I am going back." ”

Hearing this, Su Lin was also stunned, although he knew that she couldn't stay here all the time, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard this.

After being stunned for a while, he asked, "What about the two daughters? ”

"They won't be okay with you to take care of them, or let them go with me, you choose!" Amanda looked at Surin and gave him the choice.

"Let them follow you, the child is too young to be separated from the mother, it's a big deal that I can go to see you often. Surin pondered for a moment and then made up his mind, although he was also very reluctant, but for the sake of the child, he had to do it.

Amanda didn't say anything more about this, which was more in line with her heart, after all, she was also very reluctant to give up her two lovely daughters.

After another week's stay, Surin waited with Amanda and two other women, escorted by some guards, on the ship bound for Banhad.

Now the Gobi is occupied by orcs, so the land route is completely blocked, and the only way to go is by sea.

Although they can also ride flying beasts, which are faster, they are not safe, and who knows if they will run into those earth dragons.

After leaving the port, Su Lin saw that there were many fishing boats on the sea, and they caught hundreds of catties of fish in a net, and their faces also showed happy smiles.

When the warships are built, the vast ocean will be incorporated into the territory of Curtis, and a new generation of sea lords will appear, and the treasures of the sea will belong to Logo.
