The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Similarly, the sails on it have also been cancelled, and the lines of the whole body have become very smooth and concise.

The elders of the subordinates who accompanied Mr. Yan Ge on his inspection were talking a lot

"Huh? What kind of ship is this?

"No sails, no oars, how does this ship sail on the sea?

Could it be that a lifetime of crossing the sea without paddles depends entirely on the waves?

So much steel, can it be on the water?Very suspicious!

In short, there is no consensus, and they all doubt whether this ship can be used on the sea.

Especially the use of so much steel makes everyone suspicious

Even many veteran boatmen in Tianjin, who have built boats all their lives, are dumbfounded and pointing

I go.This kind of steel bump can also sail on the sea? "

"Unbelievable, incredible

Yan Song looked at the big ship covered in iron with satisfaction, and asked Watt:

Huh?Is this the steam turbine you mentioned?

Watt said excitedly: "Yes, Mr. Shangyan Ge, this iron armor was loaded on it after I redesigned the steam engine, and the power generated is enough to allow this steel warship to cross the ocean, such as the Pacific Ocean." Huge oceans carry goods and people to the other side!

What about motivation?

Burn coal! "Watt took Yan Song into the wheel room below, and saw two huge boilers burning steamingly, and the boiler workers kept throwing coal into the boilers to maintain the firepower.

Yan Song nodded and smiled

This kind of burning power greatly improves the performance of the ship

With stable and powerful power, these iron ships no longer have to worry about the wind and waves on the ocean. Compared with ships driven by wind in the past, I don’t know how much more powerful they are

For example, it will take at least a few months for a battleship with sails to cross the Pacific Ocean because the wind may not be smooth

But if it is replaced by an iron-clad ship with steam turbines, this time can be greatly shortened to a target

Daming has an indisputable advantage in controlling the North American continent

Payne took Yan Song to visit this redesigned iron-clad ship

This iron-clad ship, with a displacement of 2000 tons, can be described as a giant sea monster that humans have never had before! "Payne proudly introduced: "This is because we have just successfully developed a steam turbine, and we are not familiar with the performance of this machine. When the performance stabilizes, we will build a larger ship to help Ming Dynasty cross the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. this ocean

Yan Song looked at this giant sea monster with a displacement of 2000 tons, feeling overwhelmed

Well, finally built a big ship

It's still a small ship now, cough cough

In the future, it will be big

Do you want to set up a company?First Pacific Line?

What is the name of the first giant ship?

Yan Song started to think wildly

Before he could figure it out, a group of scholars from Ming Dynasty also came after hearing the news

Yan Song found that no matter what he did, he would attract attention, especially the attention of scholars. They seemed to stare at him all day long without doing anything else.

Yan Song is a bit dumbfounded

When these scholars saw the big ship made of steel as a whole, they shouted loudly.

This is a ship?Can go into the water?

"This thing is so heavy, and the whole body is made of steel, how can it float on the water?

"Well, although Yan Ge's invention has a wide range of ideas, it has to be said that it is really dangerous.

There are too many novelty gadgets, all of which are Western strange skills!Humph, even if it's a novelty, what's the use with the king's family? "

Criticism

Yan Song is used to it, the so-called rare is more strange, the Shu dog barks at the sun, let this group of people call it

He Peter Payne and Watt continued to perfect the design of these ships, and he himself went ashore

Yan Song decided that the establishment of the steamship company must be accelerated

For a project, without a company, there is no way to raise funds, and it is impossible to do large-scale work quickly.

Chapter 2528 National Demonstration: The Reliability of Steel Ships【3】

Yan Song believes that the significance of the ship to Wang Daming is not the same as that of the railway.

With the railway, Daming can control the land more stably and quickly

And after Daming owns the ship, he can control the ocean more firmly

Daming's fleet is currently still dominated by sailing battleships.This kind of battleship Bai has only been invented and put into the battlefield for only ten years, but it has already made many military exploits for Ming Dynasty and has become the cornerstone of Ming Dynasty's current maritime supremacy

In the next step, if Da Ming can develop a terrifying giant ship like an iron-clad ship a few centuries ahead of the world, it will further stabilize Da Ming's maritime supremacy

this, no doubt
