Chapter 1767: The Star Event
"The ship is one hundred and thirty-two meters long, twenty-five meters wide, with a standard displacement of six thousand three hundred tons, a full load displacement of eight thousand tons, a maximum displacement of eight thousand four hundred tons, and a draft of six meters one. The maximum speed is 26 knots, the full load of fuel is 1,000 tons, and the speed of 20 knots can last for a month. Twelve shipborne guns"
On the dock of the Cursed Land, the young master of the Mu family introduced the parameters of the steel ship, with a strong pride on his face, this is the first steel ship in history, he led the construction, and his name and this ship will be forever recorded in history in the future.
Jiang Xingchen nodded silently after listening to the introduction, and his eyes looked out of the dock, where the steel battleship moored there was like a giant beast lying in the water. It was painted white, and on the bow side of the ship were written three huge letters of the Star, which was visually impressive.
There were many people standing on the dock, the people of the Wang family and the leader of the Black Wave Pirates, staring at the steel battleship with bright eyes, swallowing their saliva. The ship's appeal is too great for those who spend all year round on the sea. They had known for a long time that the Cursed Lands was working on a new ship, and they had seen the pitch-black ghost ship that was nearly a hundred meters long, but they never expected that it would be such a huge steel battleship.
Jiang Xingchen was happy to see this ship, after all, he had seen a bigger one in his previous life, and even saw a retired aircraft carrier. But for the Wang family and the Black Wave Pirates, the impact of this ship is too great. Before that, they couldn't have imagined that steel could float in the water.
And this steel battleship is twice as big as the seven-story treasure ship, although they can't understand the performance parameters that the young master of the Mu family said, but it is also much stronger than the seven-story treasure ship.
"This ship should be assigned to us, right?" Wang Tong and Wang Zhicheng thought a little excitedly, when Jiang Xingchen first found their family, he had said that in the future, he would want the Wang family to be the pioneer of exploring the deep ocean, so it seems that the Xingchen should be transferred to the Wang family.
Exploring the deep ocean is quite dangerous, not only have to face bad weather, but also have to deal with the huge monsters in the sea, it is impossible to say that they were not worried before. But now after seeing this ship, whether it is Wang Heng and Wang Yan's children, or Wang Tong's old man, the original worry has turned into expectation, looking forward to driving this ship to sail away to conquer the vast deep ocean.
The leader of the Black Wave Pirates had the same idea, and if there was such a ship, he would also go to explore the deep ocean
Soon the introduction of the young master of the Mu family was completed, and while Jiang Xingchen was happy in his heart, he also had a trace of regret, that is, the ability to continue sailing. The speed of twenty knots can sail for a month, which is not a short distance. You must know that there are thirty-six days in this world in a month, which means that the continuous navigation ability of the Star has reached more than 17,000 nautical miles, which is two to three times higher than that of many battleships and destroyers in the previous life.
But this world is much bigger than the earth, and even with this kind of data, Jiang Xingchen is still not very satisfied, because the deep ocean is to be explored, and a month is not enough.
Before that, he had thought about whether he could solve the problem by portraying a temperature control pressure array. But if you want to drive a warship of thousands of tons, the boiler that depicts the formation is much larger than the boiler that burns combustible ice, and the space is not allowed at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man quietly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Boy, what did Xiao Muzi mean by what he said just now, how many knots are there, and what is the displacement?"
Jiang Xingchen turned his head and glanced at the old man, and said lightly: "This is a professional term, it is difficult to explain it clearly for a while, let's go back and tell you carefully!"
These standards are all from his handwriting, and the young master of the Mu family has been very adaptable to it for a while, so that the old man can understand, how can he have that time.
After saying this, Jiang Xingchen turned his head and said to the young master of the Mu family: "Let's go, take everyone up to have a look!"
"Yes, sir, come with me!" The young master of the Mu family nodded, leading the way, Jiang Xingchen followed, and the people of the Wang family and the leader of the black wolf pirates also followed them, and a large group of people got on the battleship.
The old man stared at Jiang Xingchen's back on the dock and muttered: "Little bastard, what the hell is perfunctory to me, if you look back, you will forget about it when you turn back."
The boat was very clean, and you could still smell a faint smell of paint. Master Mu led everyone to introduce them from place to place.
"The Star is full of two hundred and sixty people, this is the cabin where they live" Young Master Mu led everyone to the place where the sailors lived. Then we went to the fresh water tank, which supplied not only drinking water, but also fresh water for the boiler.
Then there was the weapons warehouse, and the fuel warehouse was turned around, and two hours had passed, and the sun was almost setting.
"Sir, when is the Star going to sea trials?" When he got off the boat, Old Man Wang Tong couldn't help it and came over to ask. Because Jiang Xingchen never mentioned how to use the Xingchen.
Jiang Xingchen said with a smile: "We will try the voyage tomorrow, everyone will rest today, and we will go to sea early tomorrow morning." ”
"Oh!" Old Man Wang Tong answered, and then asked, "Sir, is it time to start the plan you said about exploring the deep ocean?"
Jiang Xingchen thought for a while and said: "Now is not the time, after the trial voyage of the Xingchen, I have invested a lot of money to expand the scale of the shipyard, as long as the Xingchen is sure that there is no problem, it will be built on a large scale immediately!"
After hearing these words, the old man Wang Tong couldn't help but sigh regretfully, Jiang Xingchen's meaning was very obvious, the Xingchen would not be transferred to the Wang family, but thinking about it, the first steel battleship, the lord must keep himself as the flagship. Besides, steel warships are less than a certain size, and it is impossible to explore the deep ocean.
The leader of the black waves, who had been listening with his ears behind the two of them, also shook his head helplessly, he was still thinking about fighting with the Wang family before, it seemed that there was no hope.
In fact, Jiang Xingchen didn't want to explore the deep ocean as soon as possible, mainly because there was still a problem with his ability to continue sailing, and he had to find a way to solve it
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, as soon as the eastern horizon was white, everyone came to the dock.
The young master of the Mu family had been waiting here for a long time, everything was ready, and as soon as he saw everyone coming, he ordered someone to lower the deck and let everyone board the ship.
Soon after, with a long whistle, the Star slowly activated, heading towards a red sun rising above the eastern horizon.
But at this moment, there was an eagle cry in the sky, and a huge sea eagle fell from the sky and landed on the railing of the ship's side. The leader of the black waves frowned at the sight of the sea eagle, took a few steps to the side of the boat, and reached out to pluck a bamboo tube from the sea eagle's lap, and took out a paper roll from it.
The leader of the black waves opened it to watch, and what caught his eyes were three eye-catching handwritings: Big event! (To be continued.) )
