After a long journey, Arthur Wang officially returned to Great Xia with his expeditionary force and the lizardmen.

At the same time, a report was also sent to Xia Qi's eyes.

Xia Qi, who received a detailed report, rewarded the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and at the same time placed the lizardman clan's residence on the side of Xia Hai.

There are plenty of fish in the summer sea, enough to supply them for their daily needs, and it can also allow the lizardmen to use their strengths.

In this way, Xia Qi quickly called the minister of the Ministry of Construction and Engineering over and gave them a few more instructions, asking them to recruit some more people to go to Xia Hai to select a site and start building a residence for the lizardmen.

A few days later, a detailed report on the lizardfolk was sent to Xia Qi's desk.

After two major wars, the population of the lizardmen has also dropped significantly.

Population numbers aside, today, the Lizardmen have 723 Scaly Riders, 482 Swift Beast Cavalry, and 813 ordinary Lizardmen Infantry.

And the underwater troops that Xia Qi is most concerned about, there are three hundred and seven salamander warriors.

In addition, it is the Steel-Jawed Beast, a behemoth-level combat unit.

It can be said that the lizardmen clan can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality in the previous tribulation.

Xia Qi didn't say anything about this.

After all, most of the reason why the lizardmen clan ended up like this was because of Great Xia.

Let's just let this clan recuperate first.

However, special buildings such as the "Scaly Nest" and the "Water Lizard Training Ground" must still be built.

These two arms are Xia Qi's key cultivation objects.

One is the main force of the navy for a period of time in the future, and the other can further expand the air force of Great Xia.

The training of the navy, Xia Qi handed over to Lu Meng, the former governor of the navy, and as for the backbone of the navy, all of them were requisitioned from the navy.

As for the warships, of course, they are also the building ships that have been stepped up by the Xia Hai Shipyard.

The summer sea is calm, and the building ship sails in it, but there is no need to worry about capsizing.

After Lü Meng was transferred to take charge of the navy, the Great Xia Navy was taken over by his lieutenant general.

Although the military ranks of the two are the same for the time being, anyone with a discerning eye can see which of these two troops is more important.

Lü Meng's current lieutenant is called Lü Meng, who grew up near the water since he was a child and graduated from the Great Xia Military Academy with excellent grades.

The current officers of Great Xia are roughly divided into two factions, one climbs up from the bottom, and the other serves as an officer directly after graduating from the military academy.

These two factions looked down on each other and often argued as soon as they met.

And Xia Qi, instead of stopping it, sometimes even adds fuel to the fire.

To put it bluntly, the monolithic military is not what he wants to see.

-------------------------------------

"Light, okay, be careful."

Wang Jie was wearing a work uniform and a hard hat on his head, and was directing the steam crane on the side to carry out the operation at this time.

The reason why he did this was because Jin Ming had brought back a giant generator from the Persian player's fortress.

With it, Great Xia's research in this area will reach a new level.

Great Xia still pays too much attention to military research, and is a little backward for others.

Therefore, as a result, the army of Great Xia may be able to run rampant in the silver rank, but there are some slight deficiencies in other software.

In short, the appearance of this giant generator directly made Wang Jie eager to try.

After sending the giant generator to the Academy of Science and Technology, in the next period of time, a group of academicians of the Academy of Science and Technology led by Wang Jie were busy.

Xia Qi didn't even look at the application report of the Academy of Science and Technology, so he directly asked the Ministry of Finance to send the funds.

For the research of generators, he can be said to be full of confidence, the Institute of Science and Technology itself already has a prototype of the generator, and now there is a giant generator as a reference for research, and the research and development of pairing is twice the result with half the effort.

It turns out that Xia Qi was right. A group of goblin inventors led by Wang Jie are all top geniuses in the field of science and technology, and after having a reference, they have come up with results in a very short time.

Looking at the brand-new giant generator in front of him, Xia Qi's face showed a smile of satisfaction.

However, this is actually a new one based on the design of the giant generator, which is exactly the same, and it can only be regarded as a practice work that is familiar with the process and principle.

According to Wang Jie's original words, this giant generator is too cumbersome, and on this premise, its power supply is pitiful.

Therefore, Wang Jie and the others not only had to study and understand this giant generator, but also improved it.

And with the current level of science and technology in Great Xia, it is enough to support his idea.

In this regard, Xia Qi naturally gave Wang Jie a good encouragement.

Compared with the research and development of new generators, Xia Qi is currently more concerned about the manufacture of steam battleships.

To successfully build a battleship, he needed drawings, the latest high-power steam engines, and the work of naval guns.

Among them, he already has the drawings of the battleship, including the manufacturing part of the naval gun, and he only needs to build it from the ordnance manufacturing department.

Therefore, the most important thing now is the latest high-power steam engine.

As for the latest steam engine, the Science and Technology Institute has basically completed the research and development, and the output power is significantly stronger than the original model, but as a price, it is not coal but oil.

Fortunately, there are several oil fields in Daxia.

In this way, all the necessary measures for the construction of battleships have been completed, and even Xia Qi went one step further and improved the steam engine into a diesel engine.

In this way, the entire battleship project officially began.

From the beginning of this project, Xia Qi's heart has been affected.

Today's Daxia is in a state of rapid development, which allows them to have strong productivity.

Based on this premise, combined with the gold-level building bonuses of "Shipyard" and "Shipbuilding", as well as project bonuses, the efficiency of the whole project is very high.

This is also the so-called, as long as the technology is available, everything can be done naturally.

Although it was the first time for everyone to build a battleship, the members of the project team still overcame many difficulties and built the first battleship of Great Xia as quickly as possible.

Xia Qi named it the Initial Number, indicating the beginning of the Great Xia Navy from scratch.

At the moment when the initial build was completed, a development called "Battleship" was unlocked.

Xia Qicai was generous and directly upgraded this project to the fifth level, which greatly improved the comprehensive combat power of the battleship.

And this battleship, named Initial, was equipped with more than 70 cannons, had a displacement of 3,000 tons, and a maximum speed of 26 knots.

On the day when the initial number officially set sail, Xia Qi was present in person.

Unlike the "fishing boat" on Huaxia TV, this is a real steel monster.

At this moment, Xia Qi was really shocked.

"Get ready to board."

"Navy Commander Lu Meng, see Your Majesty!"

On the deck of the Initial No., Lu Meng, dressed in a white military uniform, led a group of naval soldiers behind him and gave a military salute to Xia Qi.

Rao is Lu Meng has been with Xia Qi for hundreds of years, but at this moment, he is still nervous.

For the past 100 years, he has been steering wooden ships.

But now, even the largest building ship is a little unsightly compared to this battleship, and the firepower in it is even worse.

Moreover, he was a naval governor, and suddenly one day he was asked to train the navy, which was too sudden.

Most importantly, this is the first warship of Great Xia, and it is about to make its first official voyage, and these things must go down in history.

If something goes wrong in the process, it's really going to be the end of the calf.

Unlike Lu Meng, who was under a lot of pressure because of various concerns, Xia Qi and Jin Ming have always been very calm.

Although it was the first official launch, the initial number had already been in the testing stage, and the performance had already been confirmed, so there was no problem at all, so they basically didn't worry much about safety. Therefore, Xia Qi's attention at this time was more focused on those naval soldiers standing on the deck.

According to the final statistics, there were two hundred and thirty combatants on the initial number.

Among these combatants, there are another hundred lizards of the lizardmen, who have been placed in the underwater combat unit.

Xia Qi was still very satisfied with the mental outlook of the naval soldiers, and even the lizardman soldiers who joined later stood up in a military posture at this moment, and they were also decent.

In the middle of his thoughts, Xia Qi waved his hand at Lu Meng, signaling that he could start.

Seeing this, Lu Meng took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly, "The personnel of each department are in place, set sail!"

Woo –

With the sound of the whistle, the Initial slowly sailed out of the harbor and began to sail deeper into the Summer Sea, and the speed gradually increased.

Soon, the speed of the Initial was soon increased to a maximum of twenty-six knots.

It's been a while since the Initial Ship left the port, but it's still boiling at the port.

Ungelu stood in the middle of the crowd, his mood already complicated to the point where he could describe it.

Da Xia is really a behemoth that is even more terrifying than he expected!

Now he has to admit that the lizardmen clan is too backward, and the development speed of Great Xia is too fast, which even makes him feel that he can't keep up with the rhythm.

After a period of sailing in the Summer Sea, the Initial soon returned home.

Walking off the deck, Xia Qi and Jin Ming walked in the direction of the shipyard again.

For Xia Qi, just one battleship was obviously not enough.

Not to mention the fleet of Silver rank players who may meet later, let's just say that the hydra hidden in the sea, a destroyer is likely to fall into the fate of being unilaterally ravaged by the other party, and if you say silence, you will be silent.

So no matter what the reason, Xia Qi felt that it was necessary for him to build three more destroyers, plus one battleship, and form a small fleet.

After having the success of the initial number, the shipbuilders and the researchers of the project team also practice makes perfect, and the next thing is naturally to do more with less.

As for the design drawings of the destroyer, Xia Qi didn't have them, and it was estimated that no one would want to sell them, so he could only tinker with them himself.

In fact, under normal circumstances, people build destroyers first and then battleships, which is easy first and then difficult.

But who let Xia Qi get a copy of the construction drawings of the battleship first?

But that's fine, with the more difficult experience of building battleships, it will be much easier to think of tinkering with destroyers.

After Xia Qi gave a new task, he and Jin Ming rode the illusion and returned to Great Xia.

Before leaving, Xia Qi asked the soldiers of the navy to divide into several groups and take turns to take the Pioneer for practical operation.

It's just that it's not a way to let the initial number hit the target at sea all day long, it's like talking on paper, and there has been no actual combat after all.

Therefore, it is best to find a suitable practice opponent for your naval unit at the right time, so that they can accumulate some actual combat experience.

At the same time, destroyers began to be launched one after another.

In Xia Qi's explanation, the destroyer became a miniature version of the battleship, so the researchers and workers built it with ease.

However, this time, Xia Qi, who was derenamed, did not give the destroyer an official name, but named it:

Destroyer No. 1, Destroyer No. 2, Destroyer No. 3 III, and Destroyer No. 4.

These four destroyers, with a displacement of 1,200 tons and a hull length of 93 meters, are currently equipped with a main gun of 76 mm caliber and three secondary guns of small caliber, and can reach a maximum speed of 33 knots during the test phase.

The reason why the maximum speed of a battleship is not comparable to that of a destroyer is also a matter of no choice.

Firepower, armor, speed, it is unrealistic to achieve a balance between the three.

If you want to pursue thick armor and ferocious firepower, you have to sacrifice speed.
