The five-story treasure ship came from far and near, with black smoke emitting from the chimney, and finally docked on the dock.

Everyone on the docks was excited, they were all craftsmen of the shipyard, and this converted five-story treasure ship was built by their hands. There are no sails on board, but they are faster. This is an indescribable sense of satisfaction and honor for the craftsmen.

The young master of the Mu family stepped down on the ship, followed by several researchers, all of whom were observers following the voyage. A lot of data needs to be recorded to further refine this new type of vessel.

At the front of the crowd was Jiang Xingchen, who saw the young master of the Mu family coming down, so he greeted him, and soon left the dock with everyone and returned to the shipyard.

"The five-story treasure ship used two reciprocating four-cylinder steam engines, and according to the observations of this sea trial, the maximum distance of a full tank of fuel could exceed 1,300 kilometers, but it was necessary to use high-quality charcoal. The maximum speed reached 40 kilometers per hour, which is nearly double the power of the sail. However, this speed can cause damage to the hull. In addition, when the crankshaft of the steam engine moves, it is on the hull "

The research institute told the recorded data one by one, and Jiang Xingchen listened quietly. It is said that the distance of 1,300 kilometers is quite a long way. But it is still far from enough for the vast sea. The fuel consumption of two reciprocating steam engines is too high, and the heat utilization rate is still too low.

In addition, the pressure on the wooden hull of the top speed is also a problem, and the extent of the damage and how long it will affect the hull will need to be calculated in detail.

"Sir, I suggest that it is better to install a mast, if you drive for a long time without fuel replenishment, this is a big trouble!" The researcher hesitated for a moment, and finally added: "I don't think the wooden hull can keep up with the power of the steam engine!"

Jiang Xingchen nodded, the researcher's suggestion was very pertinent. He knew that the high speed did put a lot of pressure on the wooden structure. But now it is simply too late to build steel ships.

"Through the five-story treasure ship, calculate the relevant data for the seven-story treasure ship to assemble the steam engine, and then hand it over to the young master of the Mu family!" Jiang Xingchen commanded. In any case, being able to use the steam engine to achieve such a speed established an advantage over the sea power of the An family.

As for the damage to the ship. If it's damaged, it's damaged, as long as you can win this battle. The next step is the production of steel ships, and he believes that Xian Ning will soon be able to research out resistance welding, as long as there is a steel ship, what do you need a wooden ship for.

The researcher didn't say anything more, but nodded his head to indicate that he understood. The young master of the Mu family frowned and asked, "Sir, don't you build a big ship on a seven-story treasure ship?"

"There's no need for that. Nor is there such time. Our main battleship is still dominated by seven-story treasure ships. We only need to modify the big ship we already have to be a flagship, right, the sails should not be dismantled, and if you sail long distances, you have to rely on sail power!"

After Jiang Xingchen finished his order, he left quickly, and left the rest to the young master of the Mu family and the researchers to solve, he had to go back quickly and analyze the shocking news that the old man had brought back.

The old man came back last night and told him all the details of his trip to Ahong Island.

Just like when the old man first heard the news, he was also shocked. I never expected that the patriarch of the Great Shang Relic Clan would escape to Ah Hong Island, let alone that the treasure would be in the Moon Shadow Kingdom.

He digested the news for a long time. Until now, his mind was still thinking about this information.

As for the arrangement of the An family prince overseas, it can be deduced from the simple information that he cooperated with Ah Hong Island. It is nothing more than cooperating with the major powers, building more big ships, making more cannons and shells, and then relying on speed to make up for the lack of weapons.

That's why today he ordered the young master of the Mu family not to build a big ship. It is not yet known who eats whom with speed

"Boy, have you decided, do you want to inform the Moon Shadow Kingdom of this matter?" As soon as Jiang Xingchen came back, the old man asked in a low voice.

"No notice!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head very decisively, when it comes to the treasures of the Great Shang Royal Family, no one will not be moved. Don't talk about the Lunaris Kingdom. Even if it's the Orc Alliance, he won't tell it. This treasure belongs to Mei'er, and no one can touch it.

"But now we don't know if Ah Hong Island has found the exact location of the treasure, and if it weren't for the power of Moon Shadow, we wouldn't be able to find the people of Ah Hong Island at all!" The old man said with a straight face.

"It's okay!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and sneered, "We don't need to know anything, we just need to keep an eye on the movements of the various territories of the Moon Shadow Kingdom!"

"What are you doing with the Moon Shadow Kingdom?" The old man asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter if Ah Hong Island finds it, don't forget that the key is in our hands, even if they find it, they can't open it, unless they bombard it with a cannon, do you dare to use a cannon?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

The old man thought for a while and said with a smile: "I understand, that treasure map has been in the hands of Ah Hong Island for at least half a year, it should not be difficult to find the location according to the map, if it can be bombarded with cannons, they would have done it a long time ago! But now they have not succeeded, which means that the door of the treasure can either not be opened with cannons, or the location is not in an inaccessible place, and the use of cannons will attract people's attention." That's why they've been laid out in the Moon Shadow all the time. Maybe it's to empty the people around you, or maybe it's something else. ”

Jiang Xingchen said: "That's right, so we just need to pay attention to the moon shadow! That's what our news staff of Xingchen Monthly does!"

"Hehe" The old man laughed and said, "Boy, you are smart!"

Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said lightly: "What's smart, I still have to consider whether this is another means for the An family." When the time comes, leak the news and use this method to contain me. Once this news spreads, there will be another battle between the major forces, and I can't even stay out of it!"

"yes, I really didn't think that into that!" The old man was stunned for a moment.

"I'm just taking precautions, it's unlikely that Ah Hong Island will share the treasure with the An family!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand.

"Then you should hurry up and write to Old Man Fu, and arrange this matter quickly, don't let the treasure really be taken away by then!" After the old man finished speaking, he got up and left.

Jiang Xingchen didn't leave him either, picked up a pen and paper and began to write a letter. When the letter was finished and was about to be sent, the old man suddenly pushed the door and ran back, his expression was very ugly.

"Boy, something big is wrong with the territory!" As soon as he entered the house, the old man came to say this.

Jiang Xingchen chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone disguised himself as a tourist and pulled a grenade tied to his body in the new city!" (To be continued.) )
