Tang Jie listened to Nia's words, he thought for a while, then turned his head to Saya and Barnes and said, "Can you guys go into the water now?"

Saiya said proudly, "Of course, my lord!"

Barnes on the side was in stark contrast to Saiya, his old face was a little red, and he said in a slurred voice: "But ......"

Tang Jie immediately stared at him sharply: "But what?"

Barnes smirked and said, "But we haven't figured out how the people inside can see the outside after this thing goes into the water." ”

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and carefully looked at the huge "iron coffin", just as he looked at this "coffin" Shen Shen Method, Saiya's face on the side became red, and at the same time, his face showed a look of embarrassment: "My lord, as you can see, this ship...... Belch...... The submarine can be launched when it is launched, but if it and the people inside go into the water, they can't see the outside clearly, because it is completely sealed......"

Tang Jie smiled when he heard this: "Feelings, you really use it as a coffin to build!"

He turned his head, looked at Saiya and Barnes, and said: "It's okay, I have a way, a so-called submarine like the current one, even if it can be launched, it is useless, the first is that there is no lookout mirror, the second is not a power system, the third is too small, the oxygen stored is too small, and the fourth has no offensive firepower, which is equivalent to being a coffin except for diving, is it possible that you can build it and use it as an underwater sightseeing boat?"

This sentence made the two dwarves ashamed, and Saiya wanted to argue about something, but when he thought about it, his proud masterpiece was indeed far away, his lips squirmed, and the words were swallowed back.

Tang Jie squatted down and stretched out a hand: "Take the drawings and the pen." ”

The craftsman next to him was about to help Tang Jie get the pen and paper, but Saiyabarnes was much faster than them, and the two dwarves glared at those who wanted to help get the pen and paper, and scolded in a low voice: "Bastard, you want to rob us of this kind of sycophant opportunity?"

Tang Jie looked at the two dwarves who were scolding and running away and quickly rushed back crying and laughing, in his impression, the dwarves were brave and good at fighting, unruly, but why are these two dwarves like this?

Tang Jie took the pen and paper handed by Barnes and Saya at the same time, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and drew patterns on the paper with a quill pen.

Moreover, these two dwarves are experts in craftsmanship, he is not, he only needs to come up with ideas and ideas, and then let these two dwarves do it, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is impossible for him to tell them all the data of submarines that he knows nothing about.

Saya and Barnes looked at the lookout mirror drawn by Tang Jie, and their eyes suddenly lit up: "Genius idea, my lord, you are definitely the greatest genius in the world! How did you come up with the idea of using crystal pieces reflecting each other in a right-angled iron pipe so that people under the water can see the scene on the water?"

Tang Jie smiled and didn't answer, and then he drew a rough picture of the propeller and said to the dwarf: "This kind of underwater submarine has no sail power, so it must rely on mechanical force to generate propulsion, and its propeller and rudder must be improved!"

Tang Jie was talking, but suddenly found that Barnes and Saiya on the side, and even Nia, Giljiko and the craftsmen next to him, they were looking at him with an inexplicable look one by one.

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment: "What are you looking at? Is there anything else on my face? Or did I just say something wrong?"

Saiya and Barnes' faces were red with excitement, pointing to the propellers drawn by Tang Jie, and they were speechless, while Nia murmured slowly in a shocked tone: "Thira, the god of the sea...... This is an invention that can change the age of the ocean!"

Gilgiko was not a man of great sailing skills, but he could see what a huge improvement the propeller was for sailing ships!

This improvement is earth-shattering!

There are two kinds of era of sea ships, one is the era of sails of wooden ships, and the other is the age of propellers of iron ships, in the long years when wooden sails dominated the world, propellers are important inventions that directly break the dominance of sails, and it is with the perfect combination of steam engines and propellers that sea ships can get rid of the two highly dependent power of wind and manpower, so that sea ships have evolved to a new realm of "no need to rely on any external factors, it is enough to sail to any corner of the world".

Why is the Black Dragon King strong?

Because it is driven by magic power, although it has sails, it does not depend on sails, sails are only an auxiliary role for the Black Dragon King, and its main role is to change into a kind of protective cover covering the whole ship when the opponent's artillery fire is intensively attacking, and then protect the whole ship.

It is precisely because the Black Dragon King has gotten rid of the traditional sail power that it can be driven even by one person, and it can run freely, flexibly and quickly, and the speed and flexibility of any warship cannot match.

And if the propeller designed by Tang Jie is successfully installed on the sea ship, then it means that all Tang Jie's warships have the strongest maneuverability in naval battles!

What is the naval battle fought?

On land, small-scale wars are fought with elite soldiers and skillful skills, and large-scale wars are fought with formations, morale, and supplies.

No matter how big or small a naval battle is, there is only one point to fight: that is, to seize the upper hand and compete for the top! To put it bluntly, it is to compare whose sea ships are more flexible and defensive!

In the marine world, as long as there is no magician on the opponent's ship, even if the cannon is not as long as the opponent's range, this is not a big deal, because your side can rely on the strong mobility of the sea ship, quickly get closer, and then use the mobility to constantly pull the opponent's side, and always attack the opponent with the dense artillery on the belly of the ship, so that the opponent has been unable to adjust the ship type, and can only meet the enemy with the least firepower in the bow.

Although the bow cannon is huge, but in the era of sails, the crosshairs of the sea ship cannons have always been extremely low, and the cannons all rely on dozens or even hundreds of cannons placed on the side of the ship to form a dense barrage at the same time to give the opponent a devastating blow.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of naval warfare that Tang Jie's randomly drawn propeller has become a great innovation that can change the times.

Giljiko looked at Tang Jie with a shocked face, he swallowed his saliva, and said astringently: "My lord, to be honest, I have always been suspicious that you want to rule the entire ocean, but...... Now that I see the world's greatest inventions that you have painted, I finally believe ...... The marine world of the future is yours!"

Tang Jie looked at the exaggerated reactions of the people around him, he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: It's bad, he only cares about how to improve the submarine, but he gets out the things that shouldn't be in this world.

Propellers and iron armor, once these two things are equipped on their own warships, basically each of their warships is a copycat version of the "Black Dragon King", and the number of sailors on board will be greatly reduced because they no longer rely on manpower and demeanor, and these surplus manpower can be distributed to more warships.

Tang Jie's current strength could have assembled a fleet of up to twenty warships, but what constrained him was the number of sailors loyal to him and the ports of call.

Twenty warships, if calculated according to the number of sailors on the full crew, will require at least six thousand sailors!

Six thousand sailors, what is this concept?

To feed these four thousand sailors, how many civilians do you need on your own Alcatraz to feed them?

Now every day, civilians and sailors who have fled to Alcatraz Island beg Tang Jie to take them in, and Tang Jie's Alcatraz Island has a bit of a population explosion trend.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Jie put forward the proposal to develop the island group on the outskirts of Alcatraz, and once the development of the island chain around Alcatraz is completed, this bottleneck can be solved.

But the birth of the propeller allowed Tang Jie to completely ignore the previous bottleneck, and the more than 1,000 sailors he had on hand could be completely dispersed to various mechanically powered warships due to diversion, thus doubling the number of warships on hand!

Fleet......

Am I finally going to have a fleet too?

Tang Jie thought about it, and his heart was hot for a while.

The fleet on the sea is equivalent to the army on land, any strong country must have many legions that can fight well, any large-scale battle must be a multi-legion battle, and no one has ever been able to rely on a legion to fight all over the world and dominate all directions.

The same is true at sea, if Tang Jie wants to dominate the sea, he must have his own fleet, so as not to calm the Quartet and be overstretched because of insufficient troops.

The truth that Giljiko said just now because of the shock did not surprise Tang Jie, in fact, ruling the entire sea, this kind of thing even the pirate king Athos did not do.

Athos just relied on his powerful force and the invincible strength of the Black Dragon King to let the pirates of the seven seas attach themselves to him and worship him as king, he himself does not have a strong fleet, let alone a strong power background to support him, which is why when his subordinates collectively betrayed him and put him in a desperate situation, the once powerful Athos was immediately defeated and died.

It is several times more difficult to conquer the sea than to conquer the land, because the ocean is several times the size of the land, and the ocean is inherently unpredictable, and it can turn into the most terrifying devil in the world at any time, swallowing a powerful fleet in one gulp!

It is precisely because of this that the heroes of the human world have boarded the sea ships one after another and embarked on the road of conquering the seas.

To conquer the world first, you must first conquer the sea!

This is definitely not an empty slogan that only cares about blood.

The reason why Tang Jie aspires to be a pirate king who conquers the world in this world is also inseparable from the cognition of the previous world in which he is located.

In Tang Jie's view, why did his original country once become fat in the eyes of the great powers from the most powerful country in the world? Why did his country lead the world for more than 2,000 years, but suddenly became the least popular country in the past 100 years?

There is only one reason: the country abandoned the sea, so she was abandoned by the world!

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led the world's most powerful fleet to the Western Ocean, and when he visited country after country with a huge fleet along the way, the kings of these countries were all sincerely terrified and trembling in awe.

This is completely different from the effect of visiting the country along the way with a strong legion, because with a strong legion, these soldiers' eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be solved, and the speed of the land march is far less than that of the ocean, and the farther you go, the farther the supply line, once the supply line is broken, even the invincible iron army in the world will become a mess of scum, and it is impossible for soldiers to fight on an empty stomach!

But the Navy is different!

The warships led by Zheng He made the kings of these countries realize that this time he could come with jewels and friendship, and next time he could also come with soldiers and war!

The navy has unparalleled mobility, it can carry tens of thousands of powerful soldiers, sailing from a distant country to any coastal area of another distant country!

As long as it is a country with a coastline, then any of his coastal areas may be attacked and threatened!

No other class on land can do this as threatening, not even the most mobile cavalry!

Cavalry threatens a region and a battlefield, but naval warships threaten the whole country and the whole country! As long as a powerful warship floats on the sea, the people in any coastal area of the country cannot sleep peacefully.

This is also why in Tang Jie's previous countries, several British and French warships and thousands of soldiers went north along the way, but an ancient country with as many as one million soldiers was scorched, and even the capital was lost!

Why do the British claim to be the "empire on which the sun never sets"?

Because in the age of the seas, the naval power of this empire was stronger than all the countries of the world combined! This empire could transport its soldiers to any corner of the world, and then plant its flag on any land in the world!

Why are Americans so arrogant?

Because in Tang Jie's world, the number of warships of all countries in the world combined is not as large as that of other countries!

The Americans' Seventh Fleet was anchored in the Indian Ocean, and Tang Jie's former country did not dare to wave its troops south to recover the treasure island!

This is the deterrent power of a powerful navy!

This is "whoever can conquer the sea, he can conquer the world"!!

Because of this, Tang Jie dreamed of having his own fleet and dreaming of conquering the sea.

In the past, Tang Jie's strength and power were not enough, and he would never be able to raise a gold-swallowing giant beast like the navy, but now, Tang Jie has the financial support of the Clumber family, let alone raising one fleet, even several fleets are no problem!

What's more, Tang Jie now controls the golden route in the sea of Nilsia, which is a route with a lot of money, although Tang Jie gave all the merchants' road money to the king of the Duchy of Marta, but he still has the puppet Butrich.

Butridge is actually a puppet strongly supported by the Clumber family, he represents not only the interests of Tang Jie, but also the interests of the Clumber family, and the market share occupied by Butrich in Sisis is enough for Tang Jie to eat alone.

Now that he has the propeller in his hand, he wants people, money, and money, and what else can stop him from forming a powerful naval fleet?

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

Nia looked at Tang Jie with a look of adoration for the monarch, and a thought came to her heart: "I am witnessing the birth of a maritime empire......"
