Chapter 541: Shadows
(There are red envelopes in the early morning.) It is expected to be sent out before 30 a.m. Start, point, middle, text, net, lead, take. )
It's a chaotic time, but it's also a crazy time.
Although the alliance between the Zhang family and Xinglintang attracted the attention of those who were interested, it was drowned out by the excitement of exploring Xuanwu Mountain. At this time, the hot spot is Xuanwu Mountain and the open sea!
Six days passed unexpectedly, but here in Changshan Port, a large group of steel battleships had gathered.
The Arctic Ocean Fleet of the Ocean Group is once again ready. All the warships were overhauled and reinforced, and they were given a new look. In addition, the Arctic Ocean Fleet has been replenished with a full 10 steel battleships:
A new Arctic Ocean class, with a standard displacement of more than a thousand tons, really reached a displacement of 35,000 tons. The speed of the battleship has been made up for and increased, and it is comparable to the speed of the Zhenyuan class.
There are also five Zhenyuan-class warships.
There are four more ...... Cruiser!
No longer a battleship, but a cruiser!
The cruiser completely adopts the Lingshi power system, and the whole body adopts mature welding technology. And for the first time, composite armor technology was adopted.
Hou Shangzhuo excitedly introduced to Zhang Hao, and the captain of the Ocean Group next to him, many high-level officials, etc., listened carefully.
"The new cruiser with two-layer composite armor technology. This is due to advances in welding technology. In the middle of the two decks, there is the formation layer, so that the formation layer is difficult to damage.
For a cruiser, only the pure gold used to carve the formation pattern used two tons!
But the results are also powerful. When using the high-grade spirit stone drive, the maximum speed of the battleship can reach 500 kilometers, but it needs to consume up to 10 cubic meters of high-grade spirit stone per hour.
Also, the top speed engine is very hot and cannot be used continuously.
If you open a defensive barrier during a battle, the cost will be even greater.
If you drive normally, you will be able to calculate at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, and only one cubic meter of spirit stones will be consumed per 100 kilometers.
In terms of the design of the battleship, it refers to the Iron Duke class battleship, and after many optimizations, the standard displacement is 14,000 tons, and the maximum is 16,000 tons.
Unlike the previous battleships, the cruiser was designed entirely for combat. In order to maximize combat power, a lot of storage space is used. Its storage space can be up to 300% of the hull itself!"
"The new cruiser, in particular, strengthened the ship's guns. Small-caliber naval guns were completely abolished, and only 460 mm caliber naval guns remained. There are also depth charges, ballistas, torpedoes. But the caliber is all unified.
There was no addition to the 550-mm naval gun. This recoil is too great and will affect the balance of the battleship.
However, in terms of explosives, a new explosive was used, which was newly developed by the chemical research department, and it was called "gold explosive". It is about five times more powerful than the previous explosives. ”
Zhang Hao nodded. This so-called gold explosive is actually TNT, the world's yellow explosive - this is one of the first chemical scientific research achievements researched by Zhou Xueyao in the laboratory. Of course, whether it is TNT Zhang Hao or not cannot be 100% sure. After all, there is an aura in this world, and the chemical properties of many substances have changed.
This kind of gold explosive has about five times the explosive power of the previous explosive. A five-fold increase in the power of the sniper rifle by three to eight times (depending on the design) - it can already snipe the infancy. The power of the 460 mm shell was twice that of the previous 550 mm shell.
In addition, the range of shells, ballistas, etc., will be further increased.
At present, the artillery department is improving its technology, and Huang Mingshan proposed the expected goal of '150 km range'.
In fact, the Thunder Giant Cannon with a range of 86 kilometers of the Ocean Group was already terrifying. But as Zhang Hao said, the development of history is getting faster and faster, especially in the era of scientific and technological awakening. If you fall behind, you can only be beaten.
And the new cruiser is the product of a variety of completely new technologies.
However, this brand new cruiser, because the design is based on the Iron Duke class, is easy for everyone to confuse with ordinary Iron Duke class battleships.
But the first cruiser had an official name: the Blue Wolf! Later, the first generation of cruisers was also the 'Green Wolf class.'
Zhang Hao inspected the first cruiser and was very satisfied.
Because the world is different, the cruiser performance of this world, powerful is a mess. On top of that, these warships can also pretend to be pigs and eat tigers - I don't know, I thought it was a slightly improved, new Iron Duke-class battleship launched by the Ocean Group.
And now everyone's attention is mostly focused on the Arctic-class warships with a displacement of 35,000 tons.
Now here in Changshan Port, a total of three fleets are ready to go.
The Arctic Ocean Fleet of the Ocean Group, the head of the fleet, Dugu Junjie, has two Arctic Ocean-class warships, 9 Zhenyuan-class, 2 Iron Dukes, and 4 Aowolf-class cruisers - in the eyes of outsiders, it is six Iron Duke-class.
The pearl fleet of the country of Qixia, the head of the fleet, Shu Bennan. Now the Pearl Fleet has expanded again, and now has 4 Zhenyuan-class and 12 Iron Duke-class warships.
Finally, there is the "Zhenhai Fleet" of the Eastern Immortal Yin Sect of the Fertile Earth Continent, which is a brand-new fleet that has just finished training, but it has caught up with this opportunity. The person in charge is the Xuyuan son of the Xianyin Sect, and his generation is equivalent to Zhang Hao's master, Ming Xuzi, and Yuanying's peak cultivation.
The Immortal Yin Sect has 3 Zhenyuan-class warships and 10 Iron Duke-class warships.
As for the Xuanzhen Sect and the Loose Sect, they can only look at the sea and sigh. Especially the people of the Xuanzhen Sect regret it the most: once we had a fleet that has always been powerful, the Weihai Fleet, 4 Zhenyuan-class and 12 Iron Duke class, which are comparable to the current Pearl Fleet;
Seeing that a new opportunity is right in front of you, but it has nothing to do with you...... Don't mention the regret of the Xuanzhen Sect.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao did not do anything (not for the time being, the current Ocean Group is still weak), Zhang Hao temporarily transferred two Iron Duke-class and two Zhenyuan-class ships from the Atlantic Fleet and leased them to the Xuanzhen Sect - if the sea goes smoothly this time, the Xuanzhen Sect should be able to breathe.
In this way, the Weihai Fleet was finally temporarily reborn. The person in charge of the fleet is still Lu Xuanyu. In the last sneak attack, although Lu Xuanyu was responsible, if he wanted to find an excellent naval commander, the Xuanzhen Sect did not have many options.
Lu Xuanyu has already made a military order this time - if he is unsuccessful, he will apologize with death!
Therefore, after Zhang Hao saw Lu Xuanyu this time, he found that Lu Xuanyu had a serious face and no smile. Including the soldiers around Lu Xuanyu.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao could only sigh, and now the pressure of the entire Xuanzhen Sect was on Lu Xuanyu's shoulders. Zhang Hao stepped forward to greet and gave a gift. Anyway, Zhang Hao is also a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, and Lu Xuanyu is also Zhang Hao's senior brother, so he should visit him.
Zhang Hao's gift, of course, will not be stingy - 1,000 460-mm shells! 4,000 other types of shells, ballistas, etc., and 10 cubic meters of high-grade spirit stones. About 270,000 high-grade spirit stones - this is a huge amount of money!
A trace of warmth flashed in Lu Xuanyu's serious eyes.
Sending charcoal in the snow is the most precious.
Of course, Zhang Hao's gift is also to make the Xuanzhen Sect look good, at least to maintain a relatively friendly atmosphere between the Dayang Group and the Xuanzhen Sect.
In short, here in Changshan Port, there are 50 steel battleships gathered at this time!
What is the concept of 50 warships? Lined up in one go, there is no end in sight! Standing in the harbor, you can only see the battleships stretching to the horizon.
But that's not the most important thing. And most importantly - these warships, all produced by the Ocean Group!
A steel battleship with a minimum price of 60 million high-grade spirit stones!
Also here in the port, there have been more than eight hundred Transformation Stages gathered. With so many gods gathered, there was no problem with public security, and everyone was waiting for the battleship to depart.
And in the face of so many transformation periods, Dayang Group did not dare to delay, and had already made public its plan: to set off at noon in four days.
But so many transformation periods gathered here, but the sky over Ninghe County was cloudless. momentum, too prosperous.
There is also the Yuan Infant Period, and the Yuan Infant Stage has gathered here for more than 60,000 years.
The above data are still counted by Dayang Group. There are no statistics, I don't know how many. And this time to go to sea, there is no limit to the Ocean Group. No matter who wants to go, no problem, no matter the cultivation realm, each person has a ticket of 10 high-grade spirit stones.
In addition to the ferry tickets, the Ocean Group has also sold a large amount of steel, dark iron, and various spiritual materials in the past few days. The purity of the pure gold and red copper provided by the Dayang Group is as high as 98%, although the price is expensive, but so many cultivators gather, and there are more rich people, it can be said that the supply exceeds demand. Especially now that you want to explore the fairy mountain, everyone can arm themselves vigorously.
But this is not the biggest gain of Dayang Group. The biggest gain is that Dayang Group has taken the opportunity to recruit a lot of talents.
There is no trick in the transformation period, and the fish and dragons gathered at this time are mixed and difficult to distinguish. But it's still okay to be in infancy. In addition, I have collected a lot of exercises, materials, and so on.
With so many cultivators gathered, there were always people who sold the materials in their hands in order to get more resources. Moreover, there is a characteristic of the acquisition information of Dayang Group: if it is already there, it will not be acquired again.
As a result, many cultivators who have the idea of selling exercises and materials have to 'rush' to sell their own exercises.
In just a few days, the exercises and materials obtained by the Dayang Group have even exceeded the inventory of the Xuanzhen Sect by several times. Of course, many of these are inevitably repetitive, and the good and the bad are inevitably mixed. But it doesn't matter, Zhang Hao is still very happy, and specially sent someone to sort it out.
Putting these together, Zhang Hao smiled proudly, and said to the shareholders who were still a little confused: "Dayang Group has disclosed overseas immortal mountains, and this is our first wave of income!
Let's go get ready. This time I went to the sea, but I was afraid that I would hunt a lot of sea monsters. Most of the sea monsters are estimated to have our help to deal with them. That's going to be a great asset.
Also, if you really want to open the Immortal Mountain, everyone remember to dig up all the stones of the Immortal Mountain for me! Using our current excellent smelting technology, maybe we can extract some special spiritual materials from it. ”
