The strength of the dark elves was far inferior to that of Great Xia, and the backward black sailing fleet was definitely vulnerable in front of Great Xia's fleet.

But on the contrary, they have such a super-sized top-level naval combat unit as Hydra.

For this kind of monster whose scale armor is hard enough to defend against bullet shelling, and can even move under the surface of the sea for a long time, even Xia Qi is a little helpless for a while.

As a last resort, Xia Qi changed his current development policy, and asked the Military Research Department to put aside several other projects for the time being to fully develop and research underwater weapons, and strive to make weapons that can cause enough lethality to Hydra as soon as possible.

And during this period, what should be developed on land will naturally continue to develop.

Over the years, the frenzied development of Great Xia's naval power has brought a lot of pressure to Great Xia's finances.

The battle armor was constantly going into the water like dumplings, and even the minister of the Ministry of Finance did not dare to look at the report from the navy.

In the past, the Ministry of Finance believed that the most money-burning was the army units, the research and development of various rifles and artillery, the mass production of ammunition and shells, and the daily training expenses of soldiers in various units, which were astronomical every day.

Once there is a war, the required capital will rise even more.

But since the naval forces began training and the steel battleships were built, they realized that they were still too young.

The Navy burned money, and it didn't count at all.

In just a few years, the money spent on building the navy directly reduced the annual income of Great Xia, which was already economically good, by a large margin.

Today's fleet is quite large, and the annual cost of daily exercises and regular maintenance alone is an astronomical amount.

In order to make new warships with a stroke of his own majesty's pen, the minister of finance hurriedly sent a report, in which he cried to Xia Qi that no more warships could be built, otherwise, the treasury would be emptied.

In fact, there is still room for the financial aspects of Great Xia now, and it is not a problem to build a few more warships, but considering the continuous expenditure in the future, and the fact that there are other large and small projects in Great Xia, if this continues, it is inevitable that there will be a risk of economic instability.

If it really comes to that point, if a war breaks out suddenly, I am afraid that the economic collapse will only be in an instant.

This risk is too great, since this fleet has begun to take shape, let's suspend manufacturing for a while, Xia Qi doesn't want to take the risk to do this kind of thing.

However, it is possible not to build a battleship, but it is absolutely impossible to study it.

Lanxing's Huaxia once told Xia Qi a truth, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Let you dominate the world for thousands of years, as long as you are complacent for a while, you will be chased by others.

Not only is his position not guaranteed, but he also has to be bullied.

In these years, the development of a civilization depends entirely on its own research progress.

As soon as the research stopped, the development also stopped, which is something that Xia Qi will never allow.

Xia Hai.

Beneath the surface of the Xia Sea, groups of fish-man soldiers were in a sturdy posture, approaching the military port all the way.

For these fish-people, this is already their reserved item.

But this time, there was a slight departure from their usual script.

Rumble!

With the roar of a violent explosion, this originally calm sea surface was blown open, and suddenly, a large number of fishmen were blown into powder without knowing it.

And the remaining small group of fish-people also fell into fear.

In the distance, on the deck of the Initial One, Lu Meng put down the telescope in his hand and turned to look at the adjutant Tang Han beside him.

"The mine operation was successful, and the signal was sent for the salamander troops to pull up an underwater cordon at a predetermined location, and then clear the remnants of the fishmen."

After receiving the news, the long-awaited salamander warriors jumped off the destroyer.

The vicinity of the entrance to the summer sea is almost covered with mines, and the east and west are extremely powerful, but they cannot distinguish between enemies, and while striking enemies, they will also restrict their own movements.

So this sea area, even their own people dare not approach it now.

The presence of mines effectively curbed the penetration of the fish people.

After this battle, if they want to dive into the Xia Sea in the future, they must first see if they have the strength to pass through this mine area.

After that, the Great Xia Navy finally stopped for a while.

But on the other side of Taklia, it's called an uncomfortable one, and this feeling of being controlled by others is really terrible!

He understood that the steel fleet of Great Xia was simply not something that his Black Sail Warship could compete with.

Now the only hole card in his hand that can pose a threat to the steel fleet is Hydra.

In the face of such a formidable opponent, the huge psychological pressure made Taquelia increasingly anxious.

However, Xia Qi, who was far away in Great Xia City, was the opposite of him.

After the first batch of mines was produced and a mine defense line was laid at the mouth of the Xia Hai, he no longer paid attention to the affairs there, and left it to Lu Meng to deal with.

After all, he is an emperor, and there are so many things every day, it is impossible to just stare at one piece every day.

What's more, he wants to manage it but can't, and now he has no problem with that hydra.

Fortunately, Takria is no different in this regard.

Xia Qi didn't have a chance to take Hydra for the time being, and Taklia was also afraid of the existence of Phantom and didn't dare to play his last hole card.

For a short time, the two sides fell into a delicate balance.

During this period, Xia Qi shifted his attention to other aspects of development.

In recent years, with the increasing population of Great Xia, many cities have become overcrowded, especially Great Xia City, whose population has far exceeded the range of what it can handle.

So, Xia Qi issued an order, that is, to demolish the city wall in order to expand the area of the city.

Of course, the demolition of the city walls needs to be carried out gradually, and it is impossible to demolish them all at once.

In this era, the walls on the periphery of civilization still have the value of existence, but the inland cities, in fact, the actual significance of the city walls is not much, and it does not play a defensive role, and it will also affect the expansion and development of the city.

The demolition of the inner walls is now a necessary process.

However, the first city to demolish the city wall was not Great Xia City, but Silkworm City, which was not far from Great Xia City.

This city was founded very early, and because of the production of silk, it has grown in a very short period of time, and is now known as the silk capital of Daxia.

All in all, it is a densely populated and economically prosperous city.

As for Great Xia City, it was actually no longer suitable as the capital of Great Xia, because its geographical location was too far north, and the surrounding geography also limited his expansion.

However, from the construction to the relocation of the capital, such a large project could not be completed in a short period of time.

And Xia Qi just has this intention now, whether he moves or not depends on the specific situation.

In short, there is no need to pay too much attention now.

Xia Qi has recently been very concerned about the research and development progress of various projects in the Academy of Science and Technology, and at present, the academicians of the Academy of Science and Technology have finally overcome the difficulties to manufacture dry batteries, and I believe that they will soon be able to carry out mass production.

In this way, the flashlight can also be used in the military, as well as into thousands of households.

It's just a hope that this thing won't be the only appliance in many people's homes.

During this period, the development of generators also progressed, and the idea of developing portable generators was proposed.

However, this idea was rejected by Xia Qi, and in a short period of time, he didn't need this thing.

What he needs is a thermal generator with a huge output power that can power an entire city!

However, it is not easy to manufacture such a high-power generator.

Moreover, too high output power can easily lead to the instability of the machine and the danger of uncontrollable occurrence.

In this regard, Xia Qi naturally relied on his common sense of modern people to help them to a certain extent.

For example, it doesn't mean that you really have to use one generator to do it all, but ten or twenty can actually do it.

They can divide an entire city into several small areas that are relatively easy to manage and control, and then connect the small areas with wires to the generators, and one generator only needs to provide a stable amount of power to one area.

Xia Qi's words can be regarded as providing a new direction for a group of scientists who almost got into a dead end.
