Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

This is more than 500 million silver dollars!

Even within the Ming Dynasty, the exchange ratio of silver dollars to silver coins has dropped to about 1.8 taels per one...

This is also a mountain piled up with hundreds of thousands of catties of silver!

What if I miss it?

You must know that the exchange ratio between silver dollars and new copper coins is fixed. One silver dollar is worth one thousand Yongsheng Tongbao.

And one copper coin can be calculated as equivalent to one dollar in future generations, and even has higher purchasing power than one dollar!

In other words, Zhu Youjian threw fifty small targets into these three test ships...

This money is nothing to Zhu Youjian, who has built the Ming Dynasty and gained national power.

Commercial taxes alone were recovered within two months.

but……

For the craftsmen of the Shipping Bureau, that is an astronomical figure!

In the eyes of the craftsmen——

If it is smashed, even if you cut off your own head, you will not be able to live up to His Majesty's trust!

Therefore, this time, even Bi Maokang and other big guys came together.

But Hao Yaoqi, who was supposed to be on vacation, was so excited that he volunteered to be His Majesty's bodyguard.

This guy also spoke righteously - he was the Zhonglang General of the Ming Dynasty, the deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and the chief general of the Zhensheng Battalion.

Without Zheng Sen, he would be the largest general in the Navy.

The job of guarding must be left to him!

However, as soon as this guy saw the new boat, his eyes wanted to fly out and stick to the boat; his eyes dripped onto his chin and he didn't even know it...

Hao Yaoqi's heart had long been betrayed.

——He is just greedy!

This guy, who looks simple and honest but is actually very evil, is very happy to see this and wants to be the first to try it!

Zhu Youjian smiled and agreed to Hao Yaoqi's request.

These three ships were originally planned to be handed over to Hao Yaoqi.

As for Zheng Sen, there is something better for him!

Over at Junzhou Shipyard, there are three other clippers that are as big as this thing, have the same power, and the same artillery, but are only semi-armored...

——That is, a super heavy cruiser comparable to a battleship.

These three ships are the ones handed over to Zheng Sen!

The country is about to stabilize. Next, the task of sealing off the Qing court in Jiangnan will be handed over to Hao Yaoqi.

Three steel battleships were enough for Hao Yaoqi to stick to Nanjing's nose and fight against the Qing court!

Zhu Youjian had already planned a strategy for Hao Yaoqi - send the battleship directly to me outside Nanjing and fire right at the Qing court's nose!

Boom in the middle of the night!

Dawn boom!

Three poles exploded in the sun!

Boom while eating!

The main focus is not fixed!

The main one makes the Qing court unable to rest!

Just let this group of tycoons see, without them, the earth will still turn!

Even, Ming Dynasty will become stronger!

Hao Yaoqi's next mission is to blow up the center of the Qing court to pieces!

And Zheng Sen - give him a heavy cruiser that is faster and sturdier than a Western wooden ship...

Not only is this thing more powerful than a Western sailing ship, it is also super fast.

Three heavy cruisers comparable to battleships, plus the huge naval fleet that Zheng Sen "stolen" from the Zheng family - the gate to the Western Kingdom should be opened by China!

With Zheng Sen's temper, Western chrysanthemums should be a different kind of red...

As early as the beginning of the time travel, Zhu Youjian had always had a dream deep in his heart - on the Rhine River, majestic warships from the "foreigners" from the East would run rampant and take pleasure in knocking over the small fishing boats of the Westerners...

……

The three new battleships manufactured by the Ming Dynasty adopted many subversive designs.

The all-steel hull is just one of them.

The biggest disruption is welding and riveting the hull.

Welding technology is not unfamiliar to China at all.

As early as the Bronze Age of Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors were already using welding technology.

Of course, this is not welding in the later sense.

Rather - similar to the way of pouring molten iron to fuse.

How common was this craft in the Ming Dynasty - in many large tombs of wealthy families, molten iron was poured into the cracks of the bricks!

Of course, this kind of welding has great flaws, and it is completely undesirable to use it as a substitute for welding in the later sense.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian adopted the manufacturing method of "Chinese ancestors' version welding" and rivets.

because of this--

The new ship directly adopts a flying scissor shape. The bow is pointed and long, and the angle of inclination is large outward.

The collision angle under the bow of the ship was originally going to be canceled according to Zhu Youjian's plan.

However, under Wang Zheng's strong suggestion, it was still retained.

Wang Zheng is right - the paper data of new technology is indeed very powerful, but our enemies are all wooden ships!

Since you can obviously use the ramming angle to smash the enemy ship, why waste the cannonballs?

Especially for this kind of ocean-going ship, the shells need to be transported from the mainland. Every time a round is saved, it is possible to kill one more enemy ship!

What Wang Zheng said made sense, and Zhu Youjian was convinced...

The bow deck is still the same as the treasure ship - slightly higher than the hull deck.

This is also a must-have design for ocean-going ships.

The stern is the same as the Chinese shipbuilding method. It is still a square stern, but it is more completely square.

At first glance, it looks very similar to warships of later generations.

Just, a little wider.

Two huge turbine paddles, hidden beneath the water.

The paddle wheel hanging on the outside of the ship in the first generation of steamships has long been cancelled.

The outer strings are sprayed with gray paint as always.

However, the ship number is left blank.

Emperor - has not been officially named yet.

In Zhu Youjian's plan, the battleship will be named after Zheng He.

The super cruisers are named after provinces.

In Zhu Youjian's long-term plan, if an aircraft carrier appears in the future, it will be named after the state.

This state is not a "state" of a prefecture or county, but a "state" of Kyushu.

In other words, according to the development charter formulated by Zhu Youjian, there will be 24 Daming aircraft carriers in the future.

Are you surprised - why are there 24 aircraft carriers when there is only Kyushu?

Because in ancient China, China once suffered a great flood.

After Dayu controlled the floods, he divided the world into nine states.

This is where Kyushu comes from.

In the earlier Yao era, the world was divided into twelve states.

——"Shu Shun Dian": "There are two states in Zhao Shi."

Gu Yong and Ban Gu both interpreted it as - "Yao was hit by a flood, and the world was divided into twelve states."

In other words, before Kyushu replaced Huaxia, it was the Twelve States that originally replaced Huaxia~!

A state needs one aircraft carrier, and this is 12.

And Chinese official positions are very important, so aircraft carriers also need a deputy, right?

This is called a wingman!

Of course, the deeper reason is that the 24 aircraft carriers just carried out part of the mission, returned to port for rest, and repaired part of the dock.

Such a score - there are exactly 8 ships that can cruise without interruption!

There are four oceans in the world. It makes sense to put two aircraft carriers in one ocean, right?

I, Ming Dynasty, am so full of martial virtue!
