The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

God-level master Peter Pater.

The main person in charge of the sailing battleship project.

Yan Song handed over 500 million taels of silver to Peter Pater, and asked how the sailing battleship was progressing?Can the emperor go and have a look?

The god-level shipbuilder smiled proudly: "Mr. Yan Ge, I am proud to report to you that 6% of the first sailing battleship has been built. If His Majesty the Emperor decides to inspect, I will lead all the shipwrights to inspect it as soon as possible." be ready."

Yan Song nodded: "From the current progress, how much is the cost of the sailing battleship?"

Peter smiled bitterly: "I said it, and it is estimated that the prime minister will probably choose to cancel this project."

Yan Song has black lines all over his head, and it is estimated that the budget has exceeded again.

Peter said sternly: "I must reiterate that this sea monster is at least 200 years ahead of the West. Whether it is hull, speed, armor or artillery, it is the strongest in the ocean in this era. The full load displacement is 1750 tons, and the muzzle is equipped with 108 guns. The cannon can carry up to 650 people. It can last 3000 nautical miles without supplies at sea. Therefore, the cost of haha ​​is also slightly higher.”

"This is a little high, how high is it?" Yan Song rolled his eyes: "The previous data is very beautiful, but the cost also needs to be considered?"

"A main battleship in the west costs about 9 pounds at this time." Peter coughed and said, "One pound is 180 taels of gold, which is [-] million taels of silver."

Yan Song was so frightened that he almost fell off his seat.

180 million taels of silver is needed to create a battleship!

··········

This is still the cost of the West at this time.

You know, sailing battleships are 200 years ahead of this era.

Grandma's, the cost is still skyrocketing, isn't it?

Peter laughed and said, "But Daming is rich in products. After Tianjin opened the sea, all kinds of materials are gathered, and the prices are much cheaper. In addition, the wages of craftsmen are cheap, and the cost can be 3-4% lower than similar controls in the West. But!"

He smiled kindly and said, "Considering that it is larger, heavier, and more artillery-fired than Western warships, the scheduled cost of the Ming Dynasty sailing battleship is also 300 million taels of silver!"

Yan Song rolled his eyes and fell down on the spot.

....................

System, I love you!

With god-level blueprints and god-level craftsmen, Nima still needs 300 million taels of silver?

If it weren't for the fact that this pavilion is always cheating and abducting everywhere, sucking money with black hearts, and with Daming's weak treasury, Nima wouldn't be able to build one in a year!

Fortunately, this pavilion has a good way of making money, cheating the Japanese, the Koreans, the Mughals, and everyone in the world. In short, there is a lot of gold and silver to make these money-burning things!

The sail battleship is really a heavy weapon of a great country, the most important war asset of a country.

Therefore, in the Opium War, Britain only dispatched more than 40 sailing battleships and a few thousand soldiers, which could exhaust Huaxia, which has hundreds of millions of people!

This is the power of a great power.

As soon as Yan Song gritted his teeth, I fought hard.

"You build it." Yan Song said lightly: "I'll figure out a way about the money."

"But there is another problem with the sailing battleship." Peter said sternly: "The artillery of Ming Dynasty is not advanced enough."

Yan Song frowned.

"Although the Shenwei Grand General's cannon is powerful enough, it is not suitable for equipment at sea." Peter frowned, "The recoil of these cannons is too large, the weight is too heavy, and the efficiency is too low in comparison. We need better cannons , in order to give full play to the power of the sailing battleship."

Yan Song nodded, frowning deeply.

"Shenwei Cannon, are you behind?"

When selling artillery to Korea and Japan, Yan Song had already felt the huge profits of the arms trade.

The Shenwei General Cannon, as a kind of artillery developed at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although it has been improved by its own better steel forging, the foundation is too old.

It is necessary to organize the most advanced scientists to develop a new generation of artillery, especially the marine cannon equipped at sea, which is the main force of the Ming Navy's future maritime colonial expansion, and must be studied carefully.

In Yan Song's mind, he had already planned to establish the Daming Academy of Military Sciences.

Now, he has accumulated some talent.For example, mathematicians, Descartes and Cheng Dawei. In terms of steel, there is Hu Xueyan's mature military special steel factory, and he is also very skilled in forging technology, but he still lacks an artillery designer.

The world's top artillery designer "[-]".

Now, in fact, the understanding of artillery in various countries is still in its infancy. Countries including Britain and France do not have professional artillery designers.

Instead, chemists.

Chemists from all over the world were the first in the research of gunpowder at this time.

Daming, who can be called an excellent chemist?

Yan Song thought of Xu Guangqi from Xu Xiake, Nima even thought of the Taoist priests who were the blue gods who made alchemy for Jiajing, but there was no suitable candidate.

Forget it, wait a little longer.

"You should study the sailing battleship first. As for the research and development of new artillery, I will always think of a way."

Yan Song said seriously.
