Chapter 247: Iron Body
As soon as Liu Dingshan spoke, Zhang Shengde was stunned.
Zhang Hao was even more dumbfounded: I went, I thought of all possible outcomes, but I didn't expect it to be such a possibility.
After a while, Zhang Hao spoke: "Thank you seniors for your appreciation." It's just that His Royal Highness the regent is high, and Zhang Hao is just a little baron who doesn't dare to ask for extravagance.
In addition, the juniors and Zhou Xueyao are in love, and they also ask the seniors to fulfill them. ”
Liu Dingshan looked at Zhang Hao for a while, and the light in his eyes flickered. But finally sighed: "Okay, I'm just kidding." I agreed!"
"Thank you, senior. Zhang Shengde finally breathed a sigh of relief. We can't afford to keep making jokes.
Liu Dingshan smiled faintly: "I also thank you on behalf of the country of Qixia." Now in the entire country of Qixia, the Zhang family and the Dayang Group led by the Zhang family are most concerned about the country.
Okay, I'm going to visit the giant ship, and I'll talk to Zhou Shuhai when I come back. ”
Liu Dingshan said that he would let Hou Shangzhuo lead the way. But deep down, Liu Dingshan also sighed a little, and he thought about it a lot. If the Zhang family and Xinglintang marry, coupled with the Dayang Group controlled by the Zhang family, this will not be a good thing for the regime of the country of Qixia.
But considering the current situation of the country of Qixia, considering the performance of the Zhang family all the time, and considering the identity of Zhang Haoxuan's true disciple, Liu Dingshan finally had to compromise.
Of course, there is another consideration, if Liu Xinyu really marries Zhang Hao, will Zhang Hao be the latecomer?
Rather than this, it is better to sell the Zhang family now. And the current country of Qixia is really inseparable from the Zhang family.
Liu Dingshan quickly gathered his mood and began to examine the giant ship from the perspective of the participants. The more I watched, the more frightened I became. Just a glance at it, but now there are a lot of new discoveries.
The ship is so massive, but every detail is handled to near perfection. The hard steel was tightly shut, and the joints were finely struck. It is not sealed with hemp rope or beeswax as in traditional ships, but is completely sealed by the combination of steel itself. Some places that are not easy to seal will be padded with a layer of softer dark iron.
In particular, the ship's mechanical power and propeller system opened Liu Dingshan's eyes.
After a long moment of amazement, there was a shout that the first sea trial was about to take place, and everyone gathered on the deck.
The seal in front of the dry dock faded away, and the sea water flowed into the dock at a fast but steady rate. The dry dock began to fill with water, and the clear water did not reach the bottom of the giant ship at all, but the giant ship did not move.
"You can't float, right?" a faint voice of doubt appeared.
But Zhang Hao, Hou Shangzhuo, Wang Dake and others stood at the bow of the ship, waiting quietly. When the sea water was injected into a third of the height, the heavy steel giant suddenly shook, and then floated little by little with the water injected.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation: "It's floating, it's really floating! The giant ship made of steel is floating!"
Hou Shangzhuo and the others didn't have the time to pay attention to these sounds, they were quickly checking the inside of the ship to see if there was any water seepage. Although it has been tested with spells when it was built, it is theoretically foolproof, but what if?
On the huge ship, there are tens of thousands of rivets, and the length of the seams is more than fifty kilometers, who can guarantee that there is no omission at all. In addition, it is necessary to check the balance of the ship, etc.
The items that need to be tested in the first sea trial are fully listed in half of the book. Including structure, displacement performance, turbines and blades, rudder, energy consumption, acceleration and deceleration, balancing, steering, etc.
The water flowed into the dock quickly, and the heavy steel giant came to a steady stop on the water, barely feeling the shaking.
Hou Shangzhuo quickly led people to complete the inspection, and came to the bow again and shouted: "Open the ship!"
The power staff immediately closed the switch, and the power of the spirit stone was injected into the turbine, and the formation began to take effect, and the heavy rotor slowly started and continued to accelerate.
The sound of the water came from behind the ship, ripples echoing through the small dock.
The steel ship began to move with difficulty.
The roar of the propellers and the machines grew louder, but soon began to grow smaller, or more flat, until finally a low roar, and little by little the steel ship burst out of the dock and into the sea.
When the bow of the ship plunged into the sea, the sea and the sky, the bright sunlight and the sparkling endless sea rolled in front of everyone.
Everyone stood at the bow of the ship and quietly watched the scene in front of them. This is not the first time you have seen the sea, but it is an unprecedented experience to stand on a steel giant ship and observe it.
"It's magnificent!" Feng Zhiling calmed down at this moment, looking at the vast sea and accepting the baptism of nature.
Liu Jingming nodded silently, and then said softly: "It's really magnificent." Why didn't we feel this way when we looked at the sea before?"
Zhang Hao smiled, spread his hands, and said loudly: "Because when we saw the sea before, what we thought of was danger and awe.
And now we have in mind the ...... Subjugate!
The green sea of death was an insurmountable moat. But from today onwards, the Green Sea of Death will be our pathway!
It will no longer be insurmountable!"
"That's good!" Liu Dingshan praised, looking at Zhang Hao's eyes more and more appreciative, but the depths of his eyes became more and more complicated.
The waves are surging in layers, and there are no stormy waves, but the vast sea makes people feel the magnificence of the calm waves. A giant steel ship slowly sailed out, split the waves, and moved forward firmly.
The low roar had stabilized, and everyone could faintly feel the acceleration. Huge and heavy steel giants, propelled by propellers, began their journey to conquer the seas.
The giant ship kept accelerating and accelerating, moving straight forward. The heavy steel giant ship quickly rushed out of a kilometer, breaking out of the coverage of the Dutian Fire Array. But today, no one stopped. At this time, the giant ship still did not reach its maximum speed.
A large number of sea monsters can already be seen all around. But as soon as several huge sea snakes appeared, they were smashed away by the giant ship and smashed into the sea. The sea serpents resurfaced and stopped attacking, watching the giant ship fade away, and soon disappeared into the water.
At present, for these sea monsters, they don't seem to pay much attention to the activities of humans on the sea. As long as you don't come to hunt the sea monsters, the sea seems to be calm.
The speed of the giant ship gradually increased. There are craftsmen who are in charge of speed counting and constantly report the speed, and now the speed has reached 62 kilometers per hour.
After many sea monsters saw the giant ship, their curiosity exploded. For example, a huge sea turtle of almost ten feet suddenly appeared and blocked the front of the giant ship. The turtle even spat on the giant ship, and then its limbs shrank into its shell, blocking the front of the giant ship.
"Bump over! Bump over!" Feng Zhiling was already excited again, he screamed, he was already excited and couldn't help himself. Not only Feng Zhiling, but also many people screamed excitedly. Even Liu Dingshan's eyes lit up.
Liu Dingshan also participated in the treasure ships built in the past. The treasure ship is also thirty zhang long, similar to the length of the steel giant ships of today. But after all, the treasure ship was made of wood, light and fluttering, and it shook when it floated on the sea. The steel giants, on the other hand, exhibit very different characteristics:
Heavy, smooth, domineering!
Amid countless cheers, the steel giant ship slammed straight into the challenging turtle in front of it. Everyone heard a loud bang first, and then there was a roar.
The sea water around the giant ship boiled in the shock, countless waves rushed into the sky, and the surrounding sea water spread out in circles.
And the turtle in front of it was directly overturned. Although the giant ship has not yet been outfitted, the steel giant ship is still as high as 1,200 tons. 1,200 tons of steel collided at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, and the impact force exceeded 70,000 tons in an instant (Note (1)).
The turtle was still rolling in the sky, green blood splattering, and the mighty shell had been torn open by the sharp blade of the bow. The turtle stuck out its head and let out a high-pitched scream, but was soon surrounded by a school of small red fish, and disappeared into the sea after a few breaths.
"What a dangerous green sea of death! Just now, the turtle was only afraid that it had the defense ability of the Yuan Infant Stage!" Zhou Shuhai looked at those small fish with a shocked expression.
Liu Dingshan said lightly: "Just now it was a turtle in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and its defense ability was poor, but it could reach the middle stage of the Yuan Infant and was almost at its peak. ”
"Wow......" everyone surprised themselves.
After the impact, the speed of the giant ship did not change much, and the direction changed slightly, but it still accelerated forward and accelerated again. But the people on board were already nervous. After all, this is the green sea of death, and the turtle just now has raised everyone's vigilance.
After another moment, Hou Shangzhuo finally shouted: "The speed is 76 kilometers, stable." The next test, left full rudder, sharp turns. ”
The sharp turn broke the stability of the giant ship, and the giant ship suddenly tilted to the right, and some people were unprepared, but let out an exclamation.
But Zhang Hao and the others, as well as those who experienced the ironclad ship model last time, were calm and calm. A wall of water was lifted on the right side of the ship, and the broken waves rolled out, and the entire surface of the sea was stirred.
The radius of the bend is more than several hundred meters, and the rolling waves are all you can see. Leave a long white waterway behind the giant ship.
The left full rudder is followed by the right full rudder. The giant ship has been switching between two states, twisting a wave-shaped course. And in this extreme test, the craftsmen look around for possible problems.
The turbine is always running at full capacity throughout the process.
After more than two hours of busyness, Zhang Hao received his first satisfactory report card: perfect.
Hou Shangzhuo immediately ordered: "Turn around and return, and the turbine will run at 120% overload for 30 minutes." ”
The power was busy, and the ordinary spirit stones were replaced with medium-grade spirit stones, and at the same time, some switches marked red were also turned on. The giant ship trembled suddenly, and everyone faintly heard the more majestic roar of the engine and propeller, and the giant ship actually accelerated again.
The giant ship kept the direction of the pen and sped along the shoreline towards the dock.
