Chapter 319: A New Ship

The wood of some giant trees could not be used as materials for the construction of warships.

Generally speaking, it takes ten years for a large tree to be cut down before it can be used to forge a warship, otherwise it is unusable.

And Zhu Youxiao has been over for less than three years, and there are still three or four months left.

When Zhu Youxiao was in his previous life, he knew a method of drying wood in the shade, that is, the pit drying method.

The time for the wood to dry in the shade can be reduced from ten years to three years, and it stands to reason that next year the wood can be taken out to repair the warship.

And it will take about a year to build a warship, so it will be almost two years before he will have a new ship to replenish Mao Wenlong.

It's just that Mao Wenlong heard Sun Yuanhua's introduction, and he cherished these ships even more.

Sun Yuanhua led him to the bottom of the ship, and soon they saw the behemoth that had been placed in the cabin.

Each 5,000-gauge ship was equipped with 28 guns, and these guns were the latest Apocalypse II guns.

"Originally, it was allocated to the army, but His Majesty said that the army will not have much war in this year."

"So I gave priority to you to use these artillery, which is more than a hundred guns for all the warships, and almost all the guns of the Xinfeng Arsenal have been drained."

"This is not enough, Your Majesty has also drawn some artillery from the Guards to you."

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his face became serious, just listening to these contents, he could already hear that Zhu Youxiao actually had high hopes for this water army.

He bowed deeply to Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Shilang reported to Your Majesty on behalf of the official, please rest assured that Your Majesty will take good care of these ships." ”

Sun Yuanhua still nodded, and said softly: "What Mao Dudu said, I will tell Your Majesty the truth." ”

To be honest, Mao Wenlong's eyes were full of fascination with these new artillery, but he thought of Zhu Youxiao's expectations for them, and Mao Wenlong felt very stressed.

Sun Yuanhua deliberately enlivened up the atmosphere, and suddenly pulled a gunner next to him and said, "You will have to mess with Mao Dudu in the future, so you have to ask Mao Dudu to see your skills, then you can give Mao Dudu a shot." ”

When the hundred households heard Sun Yuanhua say this, they also felt that it made sense.

Before leaving, they had already received an order, knowing that they had come to Dongjiang Town this time to accept Mao Wenlong's command.

So if you can show your hand in front of Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong can also remember him, and if there is anything to promote in the future, he will definitely be indispensable.

Over the years, Sun Yuanhua has taken care of him, although Sun Yuanhua probably doesn't know who he is.

He threw Sun Yuanhua a grateful look, which made Sun Yuanhua a little confused.

In fact, Sun Yuanhua is usually responsible for the research, design and manufacturing of some military equipment, and he is not so sensitive to human feelings.

Most of the other things in the Ministry of Industry were done by another Ministry of Works, and for a while, he was not able to understand the reason why the hundred household officials were grateful, which was really normal.

I only saw the hundred household officials shouting: "Respect the order! Sun Yuanhua's ears buzzed, and then he took the soldiers under his command to get busy.

Mao Wenlong found that this cannon was a little thinner than the barrel of the original Emperor of the Apocalypse's Golden Gun, but the overall style did not change much.

Sun Yuanhua also proudly introduced to Mao Wenlong, "This is the Apocalypse II artillery mentioned earlier.

"It uses a new type of steel casting technology, whether it is the strength of the barrel or some other properties, it is better than the original Apocalypse Emperor's Golden Gun."

"On top of that, it's at least a third less in weight than the previous guns."

Mao Wenlong nodded, thinking, "So light." ”

This artillery is one-third lighter than before, and if it is dragged to the land to fight, it will indeed be much more convenient.

Sun Yuanhua didn't expect that they had worked so hard to build that big ship and built so many large artillery, and this Mao Wenlong actually wanted to drag these cannons ashore to fight.

But also, Mao Wenlong has been fighting on the shore for so many years, and his thinking has not changed for a while, which is also a normal thing.

The hundred households next to him quickly prepared the preparations before the cannon, and just when Mao Wenlong and Sun Yuanhua were thinking about these things, they shouted, "The artillery design is ready, please give the order of Mao Dudu!" "Eight One Chinese Net

Mao Wenlong woke up on the spot, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Chen Jisheng, the deputy general under Mao Wenlong, and others next to him were also surprised that the preparation time of these artillery pieces was only one-fifth to one-sixth of the time of the Hongyi cannon.

Isn't it that one cannon of Hongyi is enough for them to shoot five or six cannons?

They were thrilled on the spot.

Wouldn't these warships be invincible if they encountered those pirates or the armed merchant ships of the East India Company at sea?

After all, whether it is the other party's warships or merchant ships, most of them are equipped with Franki cannons or Hongyi cannons.

The enemy's artillery fired slower than them, which meant that the time for the Hongyi cannon to fire one shot was enough for them to fire five or six shots.

Then if they count it like this, wouldn't it be that Mao Wenlong could single out five or six ships of the East India Company or pirates.

In fact, this is just an ideal state, five or six warships are much more flexible than their one-handed ships, whether it is the implementation of tactics or tactical roundabouts, and it is not easy to defeat six with one enemy.

Mao Wenlong suddenly woke up, and it turned out that they had all fallen into a misunderstanding.

There are such good cannons, there are such good warships, what else are you doing to build slaves, it is enough for Jiannu to have guards to deal with, they should gallop across the ocean!

Mao Wenlong has been in Dongjiang Town for a long time, but he knows that there are all kinds of treasures in the sea.

He slowly seemed to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and understood what Zhu Youxiao asked them to do.

"Now that you're ready, let's fire."

When the hundred household officials heard Mao Wenlong's order, the rope in their hands was pulled, and with a "bang", the cannonball shot out.

Mao Wenlong and his lieutenant generals were all lying on the window and watching, only to see a shell falling on the mountain in the distance, which exploded in an instant.

Because there was no preparation in advance, and there was no fixed target, not to mention that everyone knew that when shooting a cannon on a ship, the point of impact may not be too accurate, because the ship will shake, so it is just a distance, a power, and come out to take a look.

Mao Wenlong and these generals and lieutenants all took a deep breath, and the shell actually went nearly six or seven miles.

What is this concept?

The firing distance is almost twice that of the Hongyi cannon.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
