Chapter 497: Candle Dragon Legion, Winter Solstice Warmth
Qiongzhou, Yuntai Port.
This is a newly built port by Wang Muzhi according to Qin Yun's requirements, located in the east of Qiongzhou City, but unlike Qiongzhou Port, Yuntai Port is a real military port.
Except for the military personnel of the Qiongzhou Navy Division, any outsiders who set foot in the Yuntai Port will be regarded as meticulous work.
At this time, Qin Yun was inspecting the latest steam speedboat in Yuntai Harbor, this kind of speedboat is not big, almost no different from ordinary fishing boats, the only difference is that a small steam engine is added.
Although it could not travel far, it was more than enough to guard Qiongzhou, and the most important thing was that it was cheap, it could produce five units a month, and the speedboat was equipped with a Lianzhu machine gun.
"Lord Wang, this kind of speedboat can effectively prevent the enemy from attacking, and the minister suggests deploying to Ryukyu Island to increase defense."
Wang Muzhi proposed.
Qin Yun nodded: "Yes, by the way, send a few more ships to Yue Guo." By the way, Master Lu, when will the new generation of cruisers be launched? ”
Lu Ban muttered: "With the iron ore of the Ryukyus, a prototype can be built within half a year, and it should be seen next year." ”
Qin Yun: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The cruiser was born, and my Qiongzhou naval division will not be afraid of any foreign enemy! ”
Then Qin Yun looked at the Cast Iron Ridge again.
"Master Cast, in the next few days, this king needs at least three hot air balloons!"
Zhu Tieling nodded: "Don't worry, our textile technicians have conquered the special canvas, and there is no problem with mass production, but the exploitation of natural gas is not yet proficient." ”
Qin Yun said: "Take your time, the technology is iterative in exploration, just like this steamship, we first solve the problem of whether there is a problem, and then we can slowly improve it." ”
"When the steam engine technology is proficient, we can continue to develop internal combustion engine technology and even electric energy in the future!"
Cast Iron Ridge and Lu Ban were stunned, they had heard a legend, which was brought by the people of Tiecun who came from Luochuan.
The people of Tiecun said that the prince was the reincarnation of the thunder god, and every household in Luochuan still had the Lei Gongsheng Temple.
In this world, who can master electricity except God? Isn't this a stone hammer?
Qin Yun looked at the two chief "vaporists" who were stunned, and suddenly felt amused.
"You should take a look, Wenchang Middle School's latest junior high school physics course, electricity is the most common thing in nature, not as complex as you imagined, and even the structure of the motor is simpler than this steam engine, but now even if it can generate electricity and produce electricity, it is useless."
"However, there is one that can be used."
"After our new generation of cruisers are launched, they must use motors, after all, such a large ship, and the use of oil lamps is simply a joke, about the production and principle of electric lights, this king will also leave you two."
"I hope that the two of you will become the beacon of science in this era and benefit my people of Great Xia!"
The eyes of the two flickered, and they said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
Qin Yun smiled: "Why are you thanking me?" ”
Lu Ban smiled: "If it weren't for the prince, the old man would be just a blacksmith in the capital who couldn't show his face, and it would be impossible to carry forward the Tiangong Pavilion, and I would have a second spring with the prince." ”
Qin Yun quipped: "Then do you want to find you an old wife?" ”
Everyone laughed, Lu Ban's face turned dark, and Yuntai Port was full of joyful atmosphere.
Only Wang Muzhi and Liu Yulu were a little sullen, and Qin Yun's inspection of Yuntai Port was nothing more than preparations for leaving for the capital.
No matter how lightly Qin Yun said it, it was also a dangerous road to the capital.
The Han family's ironclad cavalry, the 100,000 elites of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the news of the transfer of these sergeants naturally reached their ears, and even for this reason, most of the civil and military officials in Qiongzhou advised Qin Yun to stay in Qiongzhou to wait for the sky to change.
But they also knew that once Qin Yun made up his mind, no one could change it.
Qin Yun's gaze swept towards Wang Muzhi.
"Wang Aiqing, why don't you speak?"
Wang Muzhi arched his hand: "Lord Wang, the minister is thinking, how many people will we bring with us to Beijing this time?" ”
Liu Yulan: "Yes, how can we have 100,000 troops, do we want to expand the army again?" ”
Qin Yun smiled: "Sergeant Qiongzhou, I only took a thousand people!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was taken aback.
"Lord Wang, why is this? The enemy has an army of hundreds of thousands! ”
Qin Yun: "You don't really think that this king wants to take Qiongzhou and the court to fight hard, this time I enter Beijing, I only seek justice, besides, a thousand people may not be worse than a hundred thousand." ”
"Chen Jin, Wang Menghu!"
"In!"
Qin Yun: "This king ordered the two of you to each select five hundred special elites for land warfare!" ”
"Master Cast, it's hard for you to bring people to prepare a complete set of equipment for them in the past few days."
Zhu Tieling smiled: "Lord Wang, where is this hard work, the old man can forge such a sharp weapon in his hands, it is the blessing of the old man." ”
"Lord Wang, come here, and see that this is the armor designed according to your requirements!"
Everyone followed Cast Iron Ridge to the side of the wooden box, opened the box, and inside was a black dress armor.
"Lord Wang, this armor is called Candle Dragon, divided into inner armor and outer armor, and white inside, indicating that the candle dragon opens its eyes to protect the common people, and the outside is black, which means that the candle dragon closes its eyes, opens and closes, and the yin and yang are combined, which is the armor with the highest level of craftsmanship in my Casting God Villa."
"After a live-fire test, an ordinary flintlock gun can't penetrate this armor ten paces away!"
Qin Yun thought of the shield that Zhu Jiuxing was holding before, and he tried it and found that it was not as heavy as he imagined.
"Master Caster, what kind of metal is this made of?"
Zhu Tieling smiled: "Lord Wang, this is paper armor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Cast Tieling explained: "The paper armor is not paper, but the secret medicine of the Casting God Villa is used to crush a kind of cloud rattan cannon into paper softly, and then dry it to make it. ”
"If you don't believe it, you can try it on the spot!"
Qin Yun smiled: "How can this king not believe it? This king just wants to open his eyes! ”
"Come on, try your nails!"
The two sergeants picked up the armor and placed it ten steps away, Qin Yun simply took out his exclusive matching gun and fired two shots at the armor.
The two sergeants took the armor and looked closely to find that one bullet had not penetrated, but was stuck in the fine gap, and the other bullet had been ejected.
The pistol is not as powerful as the spear, but it is also stronger than the firecracker, and it is more than enough to protect against ordinary firecracker projectiles.
Qin Yun was overjoyed: "Good, very good!" When the time comes, add iron plates to key parts, and the defense power will definitely be able to reach a higher level. ”
Zhu Tieling smiled: "Lord Wang, not only that! This armor is invulnerable, and it also has the effect of unloading, and the invincible iron army of Zhao State back then was all wearing this kind of armor! ”
Qin Yun took the long knife and slashed it down, finding that there were only shallow white marks on the armor.
"Good A, how many A's are there?"
Zhu Tieling smiled: "No more, no less, exactly a thousand pairs!" Lord, is this a big gift? ”
Qin Yun laughed: "Of course!" ”
"From now on, the Special Marine Battalion was renamed the Candle Dragon Legion. Whoever enters the candle dragon will be given this armor! ”
The sergeant's eyes lit up.
The man with Wu hook, wearing armor and holding a horse, fighting on the battlefield, what a heroism he is!
In this way, after a few more days, Chen Jin and Wang Menghu respectively selected the most elite soldiers, and these people were no weaker than the second-rate warriors in the rivers and lakes when they were put outside.
But don't look at it as just second-rate, depending on their equipment, you can sweep a group of people by twisting it out at will.
The first was an invulnerable candle dragon armor, followed by an incomparably sharp golden knife, a rifle on his shoulder, and two grenades around his waist.
This configuration, the grandmaster has to walk around when he comes.
But it's a little expensive, and if you count the equipment, you can't take it down without five or six thousand taels.
1,000 people, that is, 560,000,000, not counting the usual weapons maintenance, personnel salaries and benefits, etc.
But do these matter?
It didn't matter, because Qin Yun believed that this kind of candle dragon army would truly sweep the world.
……
During the winter solstice, the palace of King Liang.
According to the customs of Qin Yun's hometown in his previous life, mutton was to be eaten on this day, but mutton and dumplings had to be arranged in Daxia.
On this day, Qin Yun did not go to participate in the early dynasty, which can be regarded as a day off for the ministers who work intensively.
After all, what should be prepared has been prepared, and what should be arranged has also been arranged, even if there are unforeseen circumstances, Qiongzhou can still develop step by step.
In the palace, Jiang Yingying was pushed by the women to the first place in the harem and sat down.
After all, she is the most special, Qin Yun looked at Jiang Yingying, his eyes were full of love.
"Yingying has passed the winter solstice, we are about to set off, you are pregnant now, don't fly up and down all day."
"After I leave, you are not allowed to bully Yingying!" Qin Yun said to the girls with a smile.
Li Daiyu was the first to speak: "Husband, don't worry, I will protect her." ”
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing, this little girl integrated quite quickly.
However, Qin Yun still wants to take her away this time, in case she recovers her memory, wouldn't it be a time bomb?
"You go to the capital with me!"
"Yay!" Li Daiyu cheered and jumped, and the little rabbit jumped and jumped.
Liu Pavilion wanted to speak and stopped, Zhou Meiniang looked envious, and Jiang Yingying snorted lightly.
"This kid couldn't have come at the right time!"
Qin Yun smiled: "It's the right time, wait for him to go and ask for a fortune!" ”
Han Jiangxue on the side paused: "Lord, bring your concubines, my brother is here in Pingjin, I'll go and talk." ”
Qin Yun squinted: "Han Weilong? You can rest assured that he will not dare to be presumptuous in front of this king, but you can also go! ”
"Guanguan, bother you to take care of the house, I will definitely compensate you next time!"
Liu Guanguan smiled and bowed slightly, but there was a little bitterness in her heart, but somehow, her stomach didn't move.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed.
In the end, Qin Yun looked at Zhou Meiniang, but praised it.
"Mei Niang, you are very good, the construction of the school, the things of the welfare institute are all in charge of you, so that this king is very satisfied, what do you wish to say."
Zhou Meiniang's face flushed: "Lord Wang, it's all the sister of the pavilion who is guiding, I just did what I was good at." ”
Qin Yun said with a smile: "This time, I won't take you, but I promise you, you will definitely go to the capital!" ”
Jiang Yingying said: "Lord Wang, how many sisters are you going to bring back when you go out this time?" ”
Qin Yun stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty?" Jiang Yingying.
Qin Yun: "What are you and me?" Just two! ”
"Okay, the mutton soup is cooked, let's eat!"
After eating and drinking, Qin Yun played a small game with the girls for a while, he was worried that they would be bored at home, and he deliberately made mahjong out.
Let them play mahjong in their spare time.
"Bump!"
Jiang Yingying's sibling dance: "I'm nonsense, give money and money!" ”
Qin Yun: "I'm sorry, I'll cut off my beard!" ”
Jiang Yingying's little face collapsed, and Han Jiangxue frowned: "I have no money!" ”
Zhou Meiniang, who was standing on the side, took out her pocket: "Sister, I'll borrow you!" ”
Han Jiangxue threw a wink at Qin Yun: "Why don't you return a thousand miles to the river in one day?" ”
The girls reacted slightly: "Sister Xue, you have learned everything!" ”
Qin Yun laughed: "Okay, come, change people, go down!" ”
