The crowd gradually separated, and Ma Jianliang saw that the crowd was consciously standing on both sides, and there were no guards coming to open the way. From afar, I saw a huge, low-key phoenix with luxury and nobility fluttering.

It was a black flag, but it had red lines, and the red lines spread across the banner like flames, forming the figure of a flaming phoenix.

Then I saw two columns of black-armored Changge guards walking slowly with neat steps, and in the center of the team, there were nine fiery red top demon horses, dragging a huge carriage slowly appeared. The carriage was four feet wide, and there was a three-story building on the carriage!

The carriage was also black as a whole, but it was covered with delicate red lines, which were feathery and flame-like, and the structure was intermittent and full of an indescribable mystery. Let the carriage be filled with a deep atmosphere, luxury, mystery, and the high spirit of rebirth.

Queen!

These two words suddenly appeared in Ma Jian's conscience. Although Ma Jianliang had heard of the empress's name before, like most people in this era, he was a little disdainful when he heard of the empress for the first time - can a woman govern the country well?

But after seeing this imperial opinion, Ma Jianliang's heart jumped, and an indescribable solemnity rose in his heart.

Unlike ordinary emperors who like to use bright yellow, yellow, and light yellow, Liu Xinyu actually uses black and red. Just one glance, it's so different.

The phoenix on the banner was reborn from the fire and raised its head to the sky, but it had a posture of looking down on all beings. This is more domineering than those dragon shapes.

The most important thing is that nine horses line up and drive all the way down the wide highway. In other countries, because of the restrictions of the road, the nine horses are arranged in threes and threes, and the emperor is naturally much smaller.

And Liu Xinyu's imperial palace is like a small palace, and the formation enchantment on it looms, and the base is actually made of steel beams of I-beams, holding up the heavy body, which is extraordinary everywhere.

There are nine large steel wheels underneath the frame, a guide wheel directly in front and eight stout wheels behind to support the heavy frame.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Liu Xinyu stepped on the steps condensed by the spell, walked down step by step, and came to the shore.

Zhang Hao has already led the main representatives of Dayang Group to greet him.

Liu Xinyu nodded to Zhang Hao, looking at the giant ship slowly approaching the shore in the distance, and was a little fascinated for a while. At this time, the giant ship was still in an empty shell state, so the side of the ship was 12 meters above the water.

Up close, the steel giant ship resembles a steel wall in front of it. The rivets on it show the power of industry and steel without concealment.

At the beginning of industrial development, the multi-riveting steaming steel giant ship is a kind of rough steel art, compared with the kind of beautifully designed ships in the future, the current ships reveal the domineering of steel everywhere.

The vertical side, the rigid lines, and the true color of the steel all speak of the strength of the steel industry.

Compared with the battleship Zhiyuan, the new "Iron Duke" is a real giant. The distance from 110 meters to 160 meters is almost double the visual difference. Combined with the wide deck area, it is like a moving land on the sea.

Liu Xinyu admired it for a long time, and finally stared at the four words 'Iron Duke' on the side of the ship, his eyes shrank slightly, but he asked in a relaxed and playful tone: "Why do you have such a name......?" Weird. ”

"This is a name given by His Majesty!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"When am I ...... Oh...... What you said when the first Zhiyuan returned!(Chapter 294)"

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "The three words of the Iron Duke make me feel His Majesty's tolerance." And the name of the 'Iron Duke' also has a deep meaning - although it is a giant on the sea, it is only a part of the land of Qixia. It's just a duke. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded with a smile, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared, and accepted Zhang Hao's statement. "I'll go up and have a look. ”

"Wait Your Majesty......" Zhang Hao hurriedly spoke, "This battleship is only the first sea trial, and I'm not sure if there is anything wrong." This ......"

"I'm not afraid!" Liu Xinyu said, and walked in the direction of the port. Zhang Hao couldn't, so he could only walk to the port together.

The giant ship slowly docked in port. It is very difficult to fully control such a large ship, and it is inevitable to borrow some spells when docking at the port. When the boat was stable and took the steps, Liu Xinyu climbed the steps.

When he came to the boat, Liu Xinyu couldn't help but take a deep breath: there was no bumps, there was no swaying like ordinary wooden boats, etc., as if walking on the ground.

Liu Xinyu walked directly to the bow, and Dugu Junjie had to put down his arrogant posture and come over to greet him.

Liu Xinyu waved his hand: "Captain Dugu, you are busy with yourself." ”

"Yes. Dugu Junjie took three steps back before turning around and getting busy.

When passing by Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao instructed Dugu Junjie: All tests must not shrink. Liu Xinyu is different from ordinary women, if she shrinks during the test, I am afraid that Liu Xinyu will be dissatisfied.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Hao's words, Liu Xinyu showed a smile on his face. Yes, she didn't come here to enjoy, but to really feel the power of this '10,000-ton giant ship'!

Because Liu Xinyu still remembers Zhang Hao's words: Only a 10,000-ton giant ship can hope to cross the green sea of death and open up its own route.

The transaction carried out by the Zhiyuan can only be said to be 'docking', and it is not to open up a new route. In Zhang Hao's plan, the warship was to go south to find the west coast of the Continent of Soil in the south. That's an undeveloped area!

The east and north of the Continent of the Turbulent Earth have been developed and matured. This means that there are complex vested interests in the area, and it is very difficult for the country of Qixia to gain a foothold here. Therefore, for the time being, it can only be a sea transaction to solve the urgent need.

And Zhang Hao's real plan is to occupy the shipping routes in the open sea and form control. Then the inland sea is surrounded from the open sea.

Dayang Group will obtain massive resources from the west coast of the Turbulent Continent and transport them back to China to refine them into pills. And inside the country of Qixia, there is a very strong alchemy ability, but there are not enough resources in the past.

This organization with strong alchemy ability is...... Xinglintang!

Zhang Hao was still thinking about it, the giant ship had begun to exert its strength, and a faint roar that could only be barely detected in the infancy began to come.

The heavy battleship began to pick up speed, slowly moving forward. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw Mingxu Daochang, Liu Dingshan, and Chen Yansong walking out of the cabin together.

Liu Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.

Liu Dingshan touched the top of Liu Xinyu's head with some doting, "Unconsciously, I have become an empress, and I have a 10,000-ton battleship." The next step is to go south and open a route to the Continent of Thunder. Zhang Hao, this kid, even planned to go south along the west coast of the Turbulent Continent, saying that he wanted to find a continent further south.

Xiaoyu, I was very excited when I heard Zhang Hao's words. Country...... Finally see hope. ”

"Grandpa!" Liu Xinyu held Liu Dingshan's hand and said seriously, "I will definitely make this country strong." One day, I want all nations to come to court!"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Dingshan and Liu Xinyu walked side by side towards the bow of the ship.

Zhang Hao glanced at Master Mingxu Daoist: Why did Liu Dingshan suddenly feel so sour?

Mingxu Dao Chang smiled and patted Zhang Hao's shoulder: "Iron Duke!"

Zhang Hao: ......

"Haha......" Mingxu laughed.

Zhang Hao glanced at Chen Yansong, who was lagging behind, suspiciously: What are the three of you doing down there?

As a result, Chen Yansong also patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and shouted, "Duke Tie!"

"How do I sound like an iron rooster......"

"I didn't say it!haha......" As he spoke, Chen Yansong also went to the bow. The displacement of 10,000-ton steel giants may still not be as large as those extra-large merchant ships in the inland sea, but this is a warship, this is a warship of steel!

A few minutes later, the power of the giant ship was already fully up. Zhang Hao could also hear a low roar, and the giant ship began to accelerate.

At this time, the giant ship has not yet been outfitted, but its own weight is still more than 3,000 tons, and the giant ship is pushing away the sea little by little, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

The craftsmen kept to their posts, closely supervising every corner of the ship. Water leakage, structural deformation, etc., all need to be closely supervised. And if something goes wrong, you can find the person in charge.

During the construction of the battleship, who did what is well documented.

The giant ship sprinted straight into the deep sea, and it did not reach the limit until it was more than 30 kilometers away. At this time, the speed was a full 68 kilometers per hour, which was 6 kilometers faster than the basic speed of the Zhiyuan battleship.

Liu Xinyu felt in the bow for a while, and then entered the cabin to visit. After turning around, she looked at the steam turbine and boiler system with complex pipelines in front of her, and wondered: "Why do you use such complex equipment? I remember that the battleship Zhiyuan used a kind of engine powered by spirit stones, right?"

Zhang Hao explained: "Because of the temporary spirit stone-driven turbine, the power has reached the limit. If you want to continue to increase the power, you need to carve more complex formations, which is very cumbersome to make.

More formations means more calculations. And Huang Mingshan and others are not up to this kind of complex calculation for the time being.

If you want to increase the capacity of the spirit stone and formation-driven turbine, it can be said that you have exceeded the limit of the temporary technology.

After that, we tried to make it, but the consumption of spirit stones increased significantly, but the increase in power was not obvious. If it was like the formation, if it was to replace the intermediate spirit stone, the cost would be too expensive.

In fact, on this Iron Duke, there is a newly built and spare spirit stone drive turbine, and when using medium-grade spirit stones, it can output the power of two Yuan Infant Stages. But the consumption of spirit stones is too great. ”

Liu Xinyu frowned slightly: "Calculate the limit?" I remember Huang Mingshan and the others, they calculated the Great Array of Heaven and Earth Sealing." Could it be that the calculation of a steam turbine is more complicated than a large array that seals the heavens and the earth?"

Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively: "At least ten times more complicated!" The reason why we are willing to sell steam turbines, especially those driven by spirit stones, is because we conclude that others simply cannot decipher and calculate the complex formation relationships in them. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly. "So what's the merit of a steam turbine? I think the system is so complicated, and the amount of calculation is not small, right?"

"It's a lot of calculations, but a lot of them are double-counted. The biggest benefit of steam turbines is simplicity. For example, if you want to increase the power, you can theoretically increase it without limits as long as you increase the amount of steam, increase the temperature, and increase the pressure.

Of course, there are many things to consider because of practical issues such as size and security. But relatively speaking, it is still relatively simple.

In particular, we have the most mature technology for steam turbines, with many standard parts, general molds, etc., which can be mass-produced quickly.

At present, the Iron Duke uses a total of four steam boilers and three steam turbines, and the fuel is high-quality diesel fuel with a large amount of spiritual energy.

The maximum power can reach 10 early infant strength. ”

"Diesel? What is this?"

"This ...... It's a bit complicated to say. When I get off the boat, I will arrange for someone to explain to His Majesty.

Roughly speaking, in terms of mechanical power, diesel can replace spirit stones. Its energy content is equivalent to the content of 100 spirit stones per cubic meter.

However, according to the actual test, the energy utilization efficiency of spirit stone is less than 50%, while the energy utilization rate of diesel can reach 70%. Moreover, the cost price of diesel fuel is only one spirit stone per cubic meter.

And because diesel is liquid, it is very convenient to store and transfer. The line can be led directly from the storage tank to the boiler. ”

Liu Xinyu said: "How many pieces are a cubic meter of spirit stones?"

"The standard cut size of a spirit stone is one inch. The side length of the three spirit stones is 10 centimeters. Because one cubic meter of spirit stone is 30×30×30, which is 2,700 pieces.

In other words, the energy of one cubic meter of spirit stone is about equivalent to the energy of 27 cubic meters of diesel. ”

Liu Xinyu continued to ask: "Isn't the battleship pursuing extreme combat effectiveness? The volume of diesel fuel is too wasteful, isn't it good to use spirit stones?"

Although it consumes a lot of money, the spirit stone turbine system is more concise, and the spirit stone takes up less space.

If the power is insufficient, add a few more turbines. Ten, twenty, can't you?"

Zhang Hao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, technology is not a simple superposition. Just like a war horse, with an ordinary war-drawn carriage, the limit speed is only 100 kilometers. Even if you add a hundred horses, your speed won't increase much, and you will even interfere with each other.

At this time, if you want to increase your speed, you should replace high-level war horses such as demon horses. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly: "I understand it." ”

The battleship began to test the limit on the sea, and after more than two hours of wild racing, it finally slowly landed. The Empress came down, and the first lucky ones began to board. Among them is Ma Jianliang.

When Ma Jianliang stepped on the deck, Zhang Hao had already led Liu Xinyu to visit the oil refining base.

At this time, the oil refining base has begun to take shape, the technology is relatively mature, and the output is considerable. The products of oil refining have been applied to all levels of the Zhang family. Including ironmaking, steelmaking, etc. Naphtha for alchemy is also included.

After Liu Xinyu saw it, he suddenly smiled: "No wonder there was a time before when the Zhang family went around buying mines that 'cut off the leylines'. Sure enough...... Profiteers!"

Zhang Hao defended: "This is the power of knowledge!"

"Okay. So, can I apply for a loan to license Zhangjia's oil refining technology and start a refinery?"

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment: What, the empress wants to apply for a loan?

(I've been tired for a few days, and I've adjusted.) Thank you all for your support.
