Chapter 875: Ironclad ship construction

The setting sun dyed Dengzhou City red, and the faint twilight began to descend at this time.
Yang Chengye excitedly led the people to the palace after thanking them for their gratitude. A banquet has already been set up here, waiting for everyone.
After sitting on the train for six hours and wandering around the city for a long time, both the ministers and concubines were hungry.
When everyone sat down and faced the fragrant seafood, they couldn't help it. After Xiao Ming spoke and opened the table, the atmosphere suddenly became strong.
The little guy Xiao Yi immediately picked up the king crab on the table and shouted, "Father, you see, this crab is really big. I have never seen such a big crab before."
Fei Yue'er looked at the king crab on his table at this time and was a little surprised. He said: "The emperor, we have eaten a lot of seafood in Dengzhou, but this is the first time we have seen such a big king crab."
Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Niangniang, there are no such crabs in the Dengzhou waters. This time, the crabs on the table were caught by fishermen in the waters north of the country. If it weren't for the emperor, the edible seafood in the sea would have been taught to local officials. , They really didn't dare to bring it back."
"The north of the Japanese country?" Xiao Ming showed an interesting dark color. The red king crab is a typical Hokkaido king crab.
"Yes, the emperor, fishermen used to dare not leave Dengzhou to go to the waters of the U.S. to fish, but since the imperial order to start war with the U.S., General Yue surrounded the warships of the U.S. at sea. Now the waters between the U.S. and Goryeo are very safe. Some daring fishermen went out to sea to fish in the waters of the country at this time. After all, now the drag fishing technology allows fishermen to fish far away, so they can get more.
Xiao Ming has always supported marine fishing. In this era, he rarely realizes the importance of marine resources, but he does.
Compared with the depletion of marine fishery resources in the 21st century, the fishery resources of this era are astonishing. When Xiao Ming traveled from Jinling to the Kingdom of Three Mountains a few years ago, he often saw large schools of fish along the way.
Coupled with the fact that Da Yu’s navy is already at an early stage, he can squeeze the fishery resources of Korea and Wa, and give this benefit to the people of Da Yu.
"Well, yes, fishery is an important industry for Dengzhou. You not only need to develop large fishing boats, but also encourage fishermen to fish in the open sea. Wherever the Navy of Dayu State goes, it is the fishing grounds of Dayu State. If they are If you can't, you won't give them canned fish." Xiao Ming laughed. He doesn't care about more fishing boats, because the fishing power of this era is very different from that of modern times, and the entire Dengzhou is probably not as good as a modern fishing village.
"Hahaha..." The officials laughed at Xiao Ming's joke.
After skipping this topic, everyone had a formal meal.
While eating seafood, while chatting about the details of the development of Dengzhou, many talents dispersed until 7 o'clock in the evening.
The next day, Xiao Ming left Xiao Yi, Fei Yueer and others in Dengzhou City, while he and Yang Chengye went to the shipyard in Dengzhou.
"Emperor, this is the latest battleship."
Zhang Liang pointed to the twenty brand-new warships in the military port. These warships were similar in size to Tier 3 warships, except that three chimneys were erected in the middle of the masts.
"Are these warships using the latest triple expansion steam engines?"
"Yes, the emperor, so these warships need three chimneys, because warships need more boilers to burn coal. Relatively speaking, the power of these warships is much higher than that of a chimney warship." Zhang Liang explained.
Xiao Ming nodded, he naturally understood the truth, this time he reached a deal with the Netherlands, and Brandon will provide on his way back to the Netherlands.
So he had to transfer ten warships to the Netherlands.
As for the ten warships, he does not plan to use steam warships, but still uses sail warships. These more than 20 steam warships will make up for the vacancy of these ten warships and be responsible for encircling the Wa.
The reason why it was to encircle the Japanese nation instead of choosing to start a war with the Japanese nation, Xiao Ming had his own consideration, now that the ocean is in his hands, and the Japanese nation has no power to invade the Great Yu nation.
In this way, he can concentrate on realizing the reunification of the country.
After observing the new type of warship, Xiao Ming had a scrupulous mind, and then he and Zhang Liang went to the first shipyard and the second shipyard.
Compared with the previous pure handwork, the current shipyard is full of the roar of machinery, and the existence of these machinery greatly accelerates the speed of shipbuilding.
"Zhang Liang, I once told you about the iron armored battleship. Do you think it is possible to add a layer of iron armor to the outer layer of the battleship with the current shipyard's capabilities?" Xiao Ming asked.
Zhang Liang said: "This is okay, because the steam engine power gives the shipyard the ability to hoist, but the production of this armor still needs the steel plant to do it."
Xiao Ming nodded. In the Battle of Busan City, the artillery shells may be lost, so we must prepare for naval battles and enter the era of blooming bombs. After all, European technology has been moving forward, and industrial capabilities have been improved because of steam engines. This is relatively primitive. His fuze research can still be copied for one or two years~EbookFREE.me~ so he now has to build a bomb against this kind of shells and maintain his advantage in naval battles, because for him, he wants to easily defeat To seize and occupy their colonies, Europe must at least raise the industrial level to the level of World War I.
"I will supervise the construction of the iron armor. You only need to add a layer of iron armor to the battleship." Xiao Ming said. Zhang Liang's son has been studying shipbuilding in Qingzhou and has now returned to Dengzhou. This technology should not be a problem for them.
"Yes, the emperor." Zhang Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The development of Da Yu country's technology is too fast. Often a new technology has just been mastered and a new technology has been used.
It is not easy to be responsible for the construction of the battleship of the Great Yu Kingdom.
This time Xiao Ming came mainly to explain Zhang Liang's incident. After visiting the shipyard for a day, he and Yang Chengye returned to Dengzhou.
The next day, he and a group of officials came to Dengzhou Station again, and they will take a locomotive back to Dayu.
"Father, Dengzhou is really fun, can I come again in the future?" Xiao Yi looked at the outside by the car window, a little reluctant. Taking advantage of his time of inspection, the little guy looked at the sea under the leadership of Fei Yueer and others, and ate again. A lot of good things.
Rubbing Xiao Yi's head, he said, "Of course you can, but you have to study hard."
Xiao Yi nodded obediently.
"Woo..."
The familiar siren sounded again, and the locomotive began to accelerate slowly. Six hours later, the locomotive arrived in Qingzhou.
After getting off the locomotive, a group of officials were full of emotions. Now they finally realized the terrible transportation capacity of steam locomotives. With railways, factories will bloom everywhere in the country without resource constraints.
At this time, Xiao Ming, who got off the locomotive, turned his gaze to the south, and it was time for the Civil War in Da Yu to begin.
