"People are pirates, build the strongest naval branch (
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Today is the day when the new warship was launched. All the major officers above the major of the Eighteenth Branch came to the shipbuilding island, a large closed dock where the new warship is located.
Although it has not reached the level of later warships, the new warships are also much slender compared to today's standard warships.
Of course, it's still a wooden warship!
On its bow and stern, there are two rifled cannons with a caliber of 280MM, and on both sides there are four two-mounted 127MM secondary cannons. No less than 20 heavy machine guns from the Gun Lab.
No matter how you look at it, this is a warship that is armed to the teeth and can definitely be called a sea killing machine in this era.
"Tsk tsk... These weapons, if 90% of the whole ship is not made of Adam's treasure wood, it is estimated that at most three rounds of salvo, they will fall apart!"
"Who said no, compared to the Navy's former warships, there is no problem with one dozen or ten?"
"Who are you looking down on? As long as you're not surrounded and you have enough ammo, a dozen and a hundred will be fine!"
"Oh, I really didn't expect that this kind of monster was born in our hands!"
"Speaking of which, you suspected that the major general was deceived and bought a bunch of fake Adam's treasure wood!"
"Don't you have it?"
"..."
Seeing the boatmen who were busy preparing to launch the warship, Barry and Bipley also sighed.
In the end, the two also looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
On that day seven days ago, when they arrived at the No. 3 large warehouse of the branch, they were frightened and dumbfounded, okay?
That's Adam's Treasure from a warehouse, it's genuine!
If this is put up for auction, it will be at least 10 billion Baileys. If it works, 20 billion Baileys is not a dream...
On the other hand, a group of branch officers brought by Li Yan was also shocked to see the warship.
"Li Yan boy, is this the warship you secretly built these days?"
"Yes, how does Mr. Sol feel?"
"Well, as long as you give me a dozen of such warships, I will dare to go to the new world to find the four emperors!"
"Don't do it, old man. Although this warship has no problem in bullying people in the first half of the great route, but you have to go to the trouble of the four emperors... Then forget it!"
Hearing Sol's words, Li Yan was also speechless.
This firepower is indeed very powerful, but it is useless for the Four Emperors, okay? The Whitebeard directly gave an air shock, whether it was a shell or a bullet, it would not be able to fly.
As for the other three, which one is easy?
Therefore, to deal with low-level combat power, relying on the current firearms and cannons and this new type of warship can definitely play a crushing role, but for high-level or even top combat power, these things are still not enough to see!
"I just said it casually, don't you really think that the old man is unhappy that I want to go to the Four Emperors?"
Without answering, Li Yan just nodded silently, seeing the corners of Sol's mouth twitching...
Are you such a brainless person?
Soon, with the start of the mechanism, with the assistance of two rows of huge rollers, the warship slammed into the water, splashing several meters high waves...
------
the next day.
The new warships have been docked in the military port, and a large number of marines are constantly transporting supplies and ammunition to the warships.
And when all this is completed, Li Yan will personally lead more than 100 sailors, several Carrera boatmen, and a few people from the Science Department to carry out the maiden voyage together.
As for the goal of this maiden voyage, Li Yan directly set it on Horqin Island on the great route.
This is an island that did not appear in the original book. At the same time, like Magic Valley Town, it is also a pirate island. It is located on the edge of the windless belt near the East China Sea in the first half of the Great Route.
On the way, by the way, I can also check how the warship behaves in the windless zone after the sea floor stone is installed on the bottom of the ship.
Originally, Sol also wanted to follow. After all, this was a historic maiden voyage for the Navy, but the situation did not allow it.
Since the end of the examination of the branch ministers, after each branch minister brought 30 sailors from the eighteen branches back, they also sent half of their sailors to the eighteen branches one after another.
Therefore, Sol's next task is very important. He has to train almost 1,500 sailors for three months at a time, and he can't run away at all.
"Major General, the test ship has completed the supply operation!"
"Well, order everyone to board the ship!"
"Yes, Major General!"
However, just as Li Yan and others boarded the ship one after another...
"Major General, there is a warship approaching in the distance, it looks like a super warship!"
"Super warship? Could it be that woman again?"
"That woman?"
For this word, Ain seemed a little sensitive.
However, Li Yan did not reply to Ain's words, but was thinking about another thing in his heart...
At that time, when I was recovering from the injury in the G8 branch, I seemed to have promised that I would notify her at the first time of any new weapon that was researched, and give her priority to purchase?
Trouble!
Half an hour later, Taotu's super warship finally arrived at the branch port.
I have to say that the ships of this era are too slow. There are very few ships that can exceed ten knots. Super warships like Taotu are only 7 or 8 knots.
As soon as they landed on the shore, someone could not wait to step on the moon step ~www.mtlnovel.com~ directly to the warship where Li Yan was.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Li Yan's neckline and pulled it in front of him.
"Didn't you say that you will tell me as soon as there is something new, what is the situation of this warship without sails?"
"this..."
"Come on, try to explain it to me!"
"No, it's too close!"
"What's too close?"
"The face is too close!"
At this time, Taotu noticed that the distance between her and Li Yan's faces was only a few centimeters. If you looked at it from another angle, she thought they were kissing passionately...
When even blushed, he quickly loosened someone's neckline.
After finally escaping Taotu's claws, Li Yan suddenly felt a cold murderous aura behind him.
Well, without looking back, it must be Ain.
Obviously he has no legs with any of them, but why is it just like a Shura field?
Li Yan said that he is very innocent, okay?
"Okay, let's talk, what's going on with this warship?"
After slowing down, and after the blush on his face subsided a little, Taotu asked.
"Last time we went to the Seven Waters to find Bingshan and asked him to come here to build a branch!"
"Then I asked them to help me design a new type of warship, which will be used to replace the current standard warship of the East China Sea Navy!"
"Of course this is just an experimental ship. It was just launched yesterday, and today is the maiden voyage!"
"The result..."
"I was just about to set off when I was caught by you, Gion!"
Li Yan said innocently.
However...
In the next second, Taotu spoke up.
"Very good, I will also participate in this maiden flight!"
