Chapter 344 Visiting the Steamship

The sailors went to the shipyard to see the giant steel ship, stepped into the main entrance, stopped in their footsteps, and were shocked by the huge monster.

In the center of the dry dock, there is a whole body of steel, with a steel bottom like a knife, a super large deck, a steel ship building on the ship, and a circular iron cylinder behind the ship building.

It was the chimney of a steamship, poking straight into the sky, reminding the orcs of the rows of chimneys in the industrial area, of the white and black smoke flying to high places and slanting.

They have imagined the picture of the whole body made of steel, but the imagination is after all, it is not as shocking as witnessing it with their own eyes.

"Okay, so big!"

Rhodes opened his mouth wide enough to swallow three eggs. The ox tail behind him stood up, and he slapped Heinz beside him hard.

"It's amazing, it's really made of all steel!" The white-haired Heinz also shook the cat's tail excitedly.

Lion Captain Felton was more excited than them. Looking at the giant steel ship that was hundreds of times bigger than him, his body trembled violently, and he was so excited that he got goosebumps all over his body and shed hazy tears.

Behind him, orc adventurers of all races yelled like cheerful children discovering a new big toy.

The adventurers looked at it for a few minutes, then walked onto the boat and fumbled around. The texture of steel was strong and hard, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.

There are also people who watch the workers welding at close range, and watch the steel burst into a ball of bubbles and melt when it is touched by the welding torch.

Some orcs communicated with the orcs who were painting at close range, sniffed the paint bucket with their noses, and smelled a smell they had never smelled before.

After understanding, the anti-corrosion paint is not the old version of the paint, but a brand new version, which was developed by the First Chemical Laboratory for steel walls.

The orcs found that everything on the steel ship was so fresh. Just standing on the steel deck, their body cells became active, and they wanted to sing about the might of Tomorrow City.

The great adventurer Felton, currently the captain of Tomorrow's First Navy, found a problem after turning around, "Your Majesty Allen, this ship does not seem to have sails?"

He originally wanted to talk about why there was no mast. You must know that the mast is the symbol of a big ship, and the number of sails also proves the overall strength of the ship.

Not only the captain was confused, but the other crew members wanted to ask where the mast went, but they didn't dare to ask, they were all waiting for the captain to ask Allen.

Everyone looked at Allen in unison, and they wanted to know the number and area of ​​sails owned by the big steel ship.

Allen pointed to the ship building under construction, "This ship is a big steel ship, not the old wooden ship. You can't look at emerging products with the eyes of the past."

"Without sails and masts, we can look out from the ship's tower, and the telescope is no worse than the mast's lookout effect."

Allen's voice reached the orc's ears, and the adventurers fell silent when they heard it, and nodded their heads lightly, thinking that Allen's words made sense.

Yes, this is a brand new ship, and new products cannot be viewed with the eyes of the past.

"Steam-driven power, is it faster than sails? I just didn't seem to see anything that can move the ship." Captain Alton wondered.

He didn't question Allen, but that he had no experience in driving a steamboat, and his past experience became a factor limiting his progress.

"Our warship uses a steam turbine to drive the propeller to generate power, and the speed is much faster than the sail. It has not yet entered the water, and I don't know its speed, but I am sure its speed is at least 25 knots (speed 46.3 kilometers)." Allen estimated.

By the way, every nautical mile the ship travels, the crew hits a knot at the place where the rope is lowered, so "knot" is a common unit of speed for both the Lionheart country and neighboring countries.

The ship's steam engine uses a multi-stage reactionary steam turbine with three cylinders of high, high, medium and low pressure. The rotating propeller drives the whole ship to move forward at high speed, and the speed directly crushes the contemporary sail wooden ship.

The sailing wooden boats of the Lionheart Kingdom are similar to Galen boats. The normal speed is about nine knots (about 16.6 kilometers per hour). The fast boats are not considered for the time being, because Allen is talking about warships here, and the fast boats themselves have given up a certain amount of speed. fighting power.

The captain couldn't close his jaw when he heard the speed of 25 knots, "Master Alan, are you really kidding me? The speed of 25 knots is two or three times faster than that of a normal sailboat!"

"I only said that the speed of 25 is the bottom line. In fact, its speed is faster than you think." Allen chuckled and kept a little data.

Now the steamship has not been built yet, and it is difficult to identify its speed by identification technique, only a vague minimum speed value is given, and the data reported by Allen is exactly this minimum value.

When the steel ship is officially completed, you will know how fast it is when you slip into the water.

The orcs could hear it faster and breathe harder.

"With this kind of divine ship in hand, what are the mere sea monsters afraid of?" The orcs imagined that giant steel ships would appear on the ocean, and with the roar of cannons, the sea monsters would be repelled.

"In the future, you will still have the opportunity to sail to neighboring countries, conquer local diehards by force, liberate slaves, and obtain more resources." Allen has great ambitions, and the navy understands Allen's ambitions.

neighboring countries?The ships of the neighboring countries are all wooden ships, which can't stop a shot in front of the giant steel ship!
hiss.

The orcs gasped. Tomorrow City is getting more and more perverted. Now, which country can stop it from rising.

After the orcs were shocked, Alan picked a few people to the boiler room for on-site teaching.

A steamship needs all kinds of manpower. Among them, the orcs who burn the boiler must know how to operate and understand the principles of the machinery inside, so as not to cause accidents when the pressure is too high.

Allen taught carefully, and the adventurers listened carefully, and 10 minutes passed in a flash.

In 10 minutes, the orcs memorized the key points of boiler operation, and also understood the indicators of various gauges such as pressure gauges.

"I'll send you an operating manual later, and it's best to take the time to memorize it."

"Yes, Your Majesty Allen!" The orc in the boiler room said seriously.

……

The steamship gave the navy great encouragement, full of confidence for the upcoming expedition.

Meanwhile, the month of May rolls around.

The glutinous rice in Tomorrow City is once again high-yield and mature, and the farmers have become the busiest and happiest orcs.

Hybrid rice is also ushering in the earliest ripening season of this year. The orcs who rushed over from other towns came to the avenue, saw the infinite golden face, and smelled the rice fragrance, and the whole person floated up.

"Is this the kingdom of the gods?" The outsider was dumbfounded, his mouth drooling.

The waves of golden rice stretch from the farmland area to the rice field area outside the city, and every rice plant has a full ear of rice.

And because of the high ear-setting rate, each rice plant is top-heavy, and the waist of the rice is deeply bent, and the drooping shape is like a hunchbacked old man, which makes the orcs gasp in amazement.

"Harvest! Rice harvest!"

"Approve tomorrow!"

"Long live His Majesty Allen!"

The sound of a good harvest spread wave after wave, echoing over Tomorrow City.
