Yuan Yun didn't show much excitement when he watched the two huge warships move in the big river, but he had a headache when he looked at the huge black smoke that kept gushing out.

"Ma Jun, you actually installed twelve gas engines, this noise and pollution are terrible." When Yuan Yun spoke, he rubbed his temples vigorously.

Ma Jun didn't know what pollution was, so he smiled very proudly, and then replied, "Lord...... Lord, this ship is enough...... It's big enough, in fact, you can install a few units, but the cost is too ...... It's too expensive, so only twelve units were installed, no...... However, the manufacturing process of this gas engine has been formed, and so on...... Waiting for the small ones to be continuously optimized, sooner or later it will become very cheap. ”

Yuan Yun's toothache is not the cost, but the crudeness of these gas engines, although the power is okay, but whether it is the shape or the volume, it is very primitive and bulky, and the main reason for the most expensive cost is the synthetic rubber refined from petroleum, because the purity of the thing is not high, it is too undurable, so the biggest cost is the maintenance in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, Deng Ai has really become a wild child now, because Luoyang's demand for refining gasoline has increased greatly, so an oil mine can no longer be satisfied, so he volunteered to take a team of people to prospect.

In desperation, Yuan Yun could only give Deng Ai the address of the Shengli Oilfield in Bohai Bay.

"What happened to those tanks?" Yuan Yun asked again.

Ma Jun immediately replied: "Nowadays, the transmission is still not ideal, so this head really can't be reduced, it's okay to put it on a big ship, but when it comes to a tank, it's a little insufficient." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, in fact, he had already retreated to the second, now Luoyang's tanks, all built like fortresses, one is twenty or thirty meters wide, and there are eight gas engines inside, although the action is slow, but it is better than sturdy, such a bulky thick-skinned tank, it is estimated that it will be pulled by oxen, at least dozens of heads.

Now that the speed can't be solved, it is rare that Yuan Yun plans to completely turn it into a fortress, and when dealing with Karasuma in the future, there are twenty or thirty tanks like this to follow, just looking at it makes people feel a lot more steady, and the baggage can also be placed in it.

"We still need cavalry."

Yuan Yun muttered again, and immediately looked at Zhang Liao and Cao Ang who were excited on the bow of the ship in the distance, now Luoyang's gunpowder army has developed five thousand cavalry, these soldiers are also the most expensive army in Luoyang, not only three steel crossbows, grenades, and gasoline bombs are also the most fully equipped, as for the armor, it is lighter, and there is no heavy armor of the infantry.

Finally, Cao Ang and Zhang Liao got off the boat, and today is the 10th time they have taken this kind of gas engine boat, and they are still happy every time, and they don't know what they are excited about.

After Cao Ang got off the boat, he immediately came to Yuan Yun's side, and then laughed and said: "This kind of sharp ship no longer needs to care about the direction of the wind and water, if it fights with the enemy, it will definitely rely on its own power to obtain a more advantageous position, so that it can tear the other party to pieces, quickly." ”

When Cao Ang spoke, Zhang Liao was still looking back at the two battleships, looking unsatisfied.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yuan Yun smiled, then gave up the place of the tea shed on the side of the dock, and poured two cups of hot tea.

After the two of them sat down, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said: "General Zhang, don't worry, your tanks on land are no worse than these warships, the first one will be delivered early tomorrow morning, let's go and take a good look at it then." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately took back his eyes from looking at the battleship, and then asked, "Why didn't those tanks let us see before?" ”

Yuan Yun explained with a smile: "It's just the initial stage, if everyone reads and expresses a bunch of opinions, Ma Jun will lose his direction, so it's better to close the door in the early stage." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun hurriedly added water to the teacup that Zhang Liao had already drunk, and then continued: "Calling you over tomorrow is to enter the second stage, that is, to listen to the opinions of you generals and start to make adjustments to it, which is also a very important step." ”
