Chapter 335: If you don't belong to a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are
In addition to learning how to control ships and cope with the weather at sea, the navy also learned the construction and principles of the steam engine.
In this way, even if there is a problem with the steam engine at sea, it can be dealt with in time!
In addition, the ship was equipped with sails, so it could sail far away without relying on the power of a steam engine!
The admirals dressed in mighty naval uniforms walked neatly and came to the deck!
Then quickly find your place!
Some of them checked whether the various facilities on the ship were in good condition, and some of them went to the cabin to add coal and water.
Only when the water is boiled can the steam engine work!
Ying Zheng and the others watched silently on the shore, patiently waiting for the ship to start!
"Woo ......"
In less than half an hour, the exhaust holes on the ship made a huge beep.
With his previous experience, Ying Zheng knew that this was about to start, and he was immediately excited!
"This steamship is really good, but it starts a little slowly, once it encounters danger at sea, when the water boils, the daylily will be cold!"
At this moment, Feng Qu hurriedly said something that disappointed everyone.
But it does make sense to think about it.
If the train is in danger while waiting for the water to boil, it can jump out of the window, but not on the ship, and if you jump out, you will be out to the sea.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Win Feiyu!
The steamship was invented by this kid, so he can give a reasonable explanation!
"Feng Shangshu can rest assured, there are sails on the ship, and if necessary, you can use the wind power, in addition, there are also twenty cannons on board, it is estimated that before the enemy approaches, their ship has been overturned!"
Ying Feiyu's white little face smiled very proudly, and he had a pair of cannons in hand, and I had the posture I had in the world.
"Guys? There are still guns on this ship? Why didn't I see it? ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously.
He had already looked at the steamer just now, and he didn't even see the shadow of the gun!
"Father will see it later!"
Today's test, in addition to whether the ship can be driven, also depends on the results of the training of the naval officers during this period.
Will you be able to successfully strike at the enemy on the sea!
You know, it's easy to find a position on the ground, but in the constantly floating sea, the accuracy is not so easy to control!
Fortunately, these artillerymen are relatively experienced, and after training for so long, it should be about the same!
"It's moving, it's moving, the ship is really moving!"
Just as everyone was staring at the steamer, looking for a gun, the steamer suddenly started slowly.
As the speed increased, in a moment, it was already about to drive out of everyone's sight, and then turned around and turned back.
Immediately afterward, a building ship appeared in everyone's sight, less than two miles away from the steamer.
The two boats, one large and one small, all stopped.
A small boat was lowered at the stern of the steamer, rowed under the ship, and all the people on the boat were brought to the ship!
"What does that mean?"
Ying Zheng and the others stood on the shore, looking confused.
"Didn't Father just say that he didn't see the location of the cannon, let them show you now!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the steamer suddenly turned around and aimed at the building ship on the side of the hull.
"Click......"
Then a row of small holes suddenly appeared in the hull of the steamer, and a long cannon barrel protruded from it.
All the barrels were adjusted and aimed at the building ship not far away!
Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh! It turns out that the cannon is hiding here! ”
"Bang...... Bang......"
Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of the cannon sounded, and black shells were thrown at the ship.
But without exception, all of them missed, fell into Weishui, and made a huge splash!
The boat shook twice with the splash, and it was still floating on the water!
"This ...... That's not okay! ”
As soon as he put down a heart, Feng Quji's old face twitched again.
According to this quasi-head, at most, it is to scare and scare the enemy army!
"Feng Shangshu rest assured, the first shot is to test the direction, let's just wait patiently!"
Xiao Zhengtai's face still had that confident smile, without a trace of worry.
Sure enough, in the second round of firing, seven of the ten artillery pieces hit the target, blowing up the building ship and splashing in all directions!
By the end of the third round, there was no shadow of the ship on the Weishui at all, only some broken pieces of wood were left floating on the sea.
"Not bad! Not bad! ”
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back, stood straight on the shore with his waist straight, and nodded again and again.
"This is the first time the ship has entered the water, if you give the artillerymen more time, I believe they will hit more accurately!"
Ying Fei Yu said.
"Well, in this way, even if the navy encounters danger at sea, there is no need to be afraid!"
Feng went to stroke his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Father, it's not over yet, you can continue to watch!"
"And?"
Ying Zheng blinked suspiciously, and quickly looked at the steamer in the water.
Xin Sheng held a small flag and waved it back and forth on the shore, sending a signal to the soldiers on the ship!
After receiving the signal, the ship slowly approached a pre-prepared shore.
It's a beach, deserted.
Mix mud with dry straw in advance, build a row of simple houses, and simulate a city!
"Bang...... Bang......"
The steamer stopped and fired a cannon about a mile from the shore.
In an instant, all those improvised houses were blown away, and after the dust fell, only a few deep pits were left!
"Beautiful!"
Ying Zheng slapped happily.
"In this way, the navy can attack the city in the water, and the people in the city can't do anything about us, it's really an artifact!"
Feng Quji, who was still worried before, was full of praise.
"If my country lives on an island, I'm afraid I'll be scared when I see such a building ship, haha!"
Meng Yi said with a gloating smile.
"That's right, in the future, our Great Qin will not only conquer countries on land, but even overseas countries will definitely not be allowed to let go!"
Speaking of this, Ying Feiyu suddenly showed a fierce expression, which was very inconsistent with his immature and cute little face.
Since God has given him the opportunity to cross, then he will never allow anyone to bully their descendants!
There can only be one country in this world, and that is Great Qin!
"Feiyu, this ship must be manufactured in large quantities, I will order fifty first!"
Seeing the power of the steamer, Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand and placed an order.
"Five...... Fifty? ”
Zhang Han, who was the head of the household, suddenly twitched in his heart.
How much does it cost?
"Fifty is not too much......!"
Ying Zheng glared at him angrily, "The ship can not only transport goods, but also carry troops and go to sea to fight, not too many ships!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Han nodded.
The ship is good, he also knows, but he doesn't have a lot of money in his pocket!
It's really not a good home, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
