Chapter 235: Floating Island Ship Renovation Plan

"Don't underestimate it!"

The impetuous heart that has been a little impetuous due to the surge in strength has gradually calmed down, he is improving, others are also improving, and if he relaxes a little, he will be surpassed by others.

The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, few of them are simple characters, on the surface, he can look down on this and that, but he can't really be blindly arrogant, otherwise, he will only let himself fall into passivity.

......

"Maniac!"

Put down a drawing submitted by the old Taoist in the Sun Moon School Palace, and picked it up again, as if this small drawing had a lot of weight, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but scold in his heart.

He thought he was crazy enough, but he never thought that the people in the Sun Moon Academy Palace were even crazier than him, and they were so whimsical that they transformed an island into a floating battleship.

"How sure are you?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Yang Shen, the director of the Hundred Associations who presented the drawings on his behalf.

Although the idea was crazy, he was really moved, using the power of the leylines as an energy source, laying a rune magic array, so that an island could fly into the sky, and equipped with the Tiangang Five Thunder Cannon, which had entered the final experimental stage, it was not too terrifying.

Who dares to offend the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and directly control the floating warship converted from the island to carry out a military dimensionality reduction strike, and push the eight wildernesses and six together.

If the floating warship can be successfully studied, it will certainly be regarded as an important weapon of the country, and its strategic significance is incomparably greater.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the speculation of the masters of the Sun and Moon Academy, only less than thirty percent are sure!"

Yang Shen hurriedly replied, his face was also shocked.

The shock in his heart was no less than Zhu Houzhao, and the moment he got the drawings of the floating battleship, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, transforming an island into a battleship, and he didn't know which immortal proposed it.

Such a crazy but feasible idea is hard for non-ghosts to think of.

"Less than 30% sure?"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, not because he disliked that the probability of success was too low, but because it was too high.

The weight of an island is unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is not difficult to transform the island so that it can fly in the sky.

Normally, if you can have a certainty, you should be thankful, less than 30% certainty, that is, close to 30%, the probability of success is already very high, and it is worth gambling.

If the bet is successful, the Zhengde Dynasty will have a powerful weapon of the country with terrifying and deterrent power, and its military strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and it will fight whoever it wants.

Failure is nothing more than a waste of some monetary resources.

Money resources are gone, and they can be earned back through commercial trade and other channels, but the birth of a national weapon is not something that money can measure.

"Your Majesty, Sancheng's certainty is already very high, after all, transforming an island into a floating warship is something that I can't even think of before."

Yang Shen also thought that Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied with the success rate of transforming the floating battleship, and said with a wry smile.

"I need to meet with the master who proposed the ship's renovation plan."

The heart is moved, but Zhu Houzhao still did not immediately agree to start the plan, and planned to meet the masters of the Sun Moon Academy Palace first.

After all, the floating battleship transformation plan is too appalling, and there are countless financial resources that need to be invested, and he will not make a decision easily until the specific transformation process is determined.

This is an unprecedentedly large project, and whether the Zhengde Dynasty's resources can be supplied, excluding all aspects of expenditure, and whether the state finances can afford it, are all issues that he needs to consider.

"Minister, I'm going to inform the masters of the Sun Moon Academy Palace to come to see Your Majesty."

Yang Shen said immediately.

"No need, I'll go to the Sun Moon Academy Palace in person."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, the floating battleship is of great significance, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment.

......

In a clean and elegant bamboo building in the depths of the Sun Moon School Palace, Zhu Houzhao was meeting with a group of academic masters in the Sun Moon School Palace.

Xu Guangqi, who studied artillery manufacturing technology, Lou Huaping, Zheng Dashen, Mojia, and a number of veterans in Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain......

Everyone involved in the floating warship transformation program has arrived.

"Masters, I've never liked nonsense, so let's get straight to the point!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone with serious eyes and said, "You tell me the truth, how sure are you of the transformation of the floating battleship, and how long will it take?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Zheng Daping, the Mo family who was the first to propose a floating battleship transformation plan and reached a cooperation with others, said: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the success rate of this floating battleship transformation will never exceed thirty percent." ”

"This is still the result of your great help, if I rely on my own efforts, I am afraid that it is impossible to succeed in the transformation."

Thirty percent, or thirty percent!

Zhu Houzhao is a little sure in his heart, Sancheng is sure, it is not low, it is worth his gamble.

"Can you tell me about the implementation process?"

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"

Zheng Dashen ran out, and after a while, he returned to everyone with a model of the battleship that had been made in advance, and began to introduce all aspects of the transformation of the floating battleship to Zhu Houzhao.

Others didn't talk, the floating battleship transformation plan was proposed by Zheng Dashen, and it was most appropriate and detailed for him to explain to the emperor, although they participated in the battleship transformation, they only assumed a supporting role.

Floating Battleship Retrofit Program:

The first step is to find an island with abundant leyline power, open up an underground network of dense islands within the island, and build a leyline energy core to ensure that the power of the leyline can be transmitted to any part of the island.

In the second step, the old way of Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain made a move, and laid a rune formation on the island to reduce the gravity of the island, and absorb the aura of heaven and earth with the power of the formation to ensure that the island could fly.

The third and most important step is to build a warship control base, operate the island's energy, and maintain the island's balance, so that even if the island flies into the sky, it will not lose its balance due to detachment from the sea.

The three-step transformation plan, each step requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is simply a bottomless pit.

At this moment, the arrogant Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be silent, he himself was not sure whether the Zhengde Dynasty's finances could support the transformation plan of the floating warship.

It costs money to fight a war, and when a cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and it takes a lot of financial resources to support military weapons research.

Da-da-da-da

Zhu Houzhao paced back and forth, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, but he was still indecisive and difficult to make a decision.

Floating battleship, of course he wants, drive the battleship, fly in the sky, hit whoever he wants, and if he is unhappy, he will carry out military dimensionality reduction strikes on people, it feels beautiful to think about it!

But he is an emperor, there are too many aspects to consider, and he doesn't want to build floating warships and cause financial collapse.

He knows very well how terrible the consequences of the financial collapse are, and no matter how bad it is, just look at Zhu Youzhen's unlucky bastard.

The people's grievances are everywhere, turmoil is frequent, and if you don't make it, you will be overthrown by the people of the world, and you will end up with a stench for thousands of years.

Therefore, he had to think carefully about this matter, once there was a case, it might be a catastrophe.
