Extraordinary Sailing

beep-!

Accompanied by the long whistle sound, on the battlefield where the sailing fleets of the two sides were fighting, a huge black steel battleship appeared brightly.

In addition to unexpected materials.

The most notable feature of this warship is that it can't find the standard equipment of the ship of this era-towering masts and huge sails. Instead, it is a towering chimney with thick black smoke coming out of bones and bones.

This is actually a creation that was skipped by the "Tulip" technology tree-[Steam-powered Ironclad Ship]!

"Atlant, an Icelandic country with a weak industrial base, can suddenly come up with weapons of this level? And the steam engine is no longer auxiliary power, but just remove all the sails in one step?!"

Of course, the war between the two strong neighbors was something they liked to hear, and the three of Aiwen wanted them to rush out of their minds, but this change was unexpected to them.

Go back and check your own equipment warehouse for the first time.

The result is not surprising.

Including the prototype of the [Full-Heavy Battleship] [The Armored Knight], Falettis has successively launched four new battleships in the past three years.

As the killer of Tulips, it still stays intact in the secret military port.

The Principality of Galliot has three [full-heavy battleships] headed by the first [Dreadnought Class·Black Sea Pearl], and none of them are missing.

[Dreadnought Class · Full-Heavy Battleship] The construction cost is about 400,000 Golden Lions, which is equivalent to the cost of ten Class 1 sailing warships.

Even Falettis and Garriott, who are rich and powerful, can only temporarily maintain the speed of one ship per year and stock up their weapons.

Moreover, in the era of the big bang of science and technology, weapons were updated very quickly, and Ivan and Livina were not prepared to dig themselves into a big hole that they couldn't climb out of.

As for the [Steam Ironclad Ship], the cost is much lower, and it is much weaker than the [Full-Heavy Battleship], but it still has a huge advantage when dealing with ordinary sailing warships.

boom! boom! boom! boom! ...

As soon as it got out of stealth, this [steam-powered ironclad ship] launched a swift and violent offensive against the fleet of the Sark Empire.

The extremely sharp cone-shaped projectile easily penetrated the thick hull of the Sark warship with the precision that conventional ship-borne artillery could not imagine.

Far beyond the range of conventional sailing battleships, just firing four rounds of guns crashed the opponent's main Tier 3 ship.

In the eyes of Aiwen and the three bystanders.

Compared with the mainstream sailing battleship of this era, this battleship not only uses steam power, but also creatively uses the design of the upper turret to accommodate the main weapons.

It is equipped with a 304mm front-mounted rifled naval gun, using a tapered shell that pursues range and precision.

The big advantage of the turret is that it solves the problem of gunner protection when loading front-mounted artillery.

The artillery can be retracted into the turret when it needs to be loaded, cover the loading with armor plates, and then push back to the gun position.

In this way, the gunner does not have to risk his life to reload the artillery on the deck where the shrapnel is flying horizontally, and safety is greatly guaranteed.

Moreover, the two twin main turrets are arranged above the hull, rather than on the side of the hull like conventional battleships, and the number is also greatly reduced.

This design concept, which is in the same line as the [Full-Heavy Battleship Dreadnought Class], is not a patent of Ivan and Watt, but an inevitable choice made by the engineers following the development of the battleship.

Because there are a large number of side guns, it is not more advantageous than a small number of guns arranged in a rotating turret.

Moreover, due to the contradiction between the displacement of the battleship and the armor of the hull, a large number of sideboard guns will also seriously occupy the load, making the armor of the battleship thinner.

In addition, the flexible steam-powered warships also made the use of side artillery smaller and smaller, and the heavy armor could completely withstand the artillery shells used by sail warships.

Therefore, warship engineers naturally began to shift from the pursuit of artillery quantity to the pursuit of artillery quality. Larger caliber, stronger shells, stronger penetrating killing effect!

It is also the mainstream of the future "Huge Ship Cannon" era.

But Aiwen still didn't understand how Atlan got this stuff out?

Without an industrial foundation, without relevant technical personnel, and without a consistent technical route, could it be that it just popped out of the cracks in the stone?

Driven by a strong thirst for knowledge.

Aiwen simply gave up the indirect surveillance of [Mind Network], but used [Demon Eyes of Insight] to activate remote viewing, and directly looked from Long Island to the battlefield filled with gunpowder thousands of kilometers away.

In the next second, the main parameters of this battleship were already rolling rapidly in Aiwen's eyes.

Displacement 9448 tons; length: 87 meters; width: 20 meters; main equipment: two turrets and four 304mm front-mounted rifled guns, huge angle of impact; cruising range: can travel 12 hours at a speed of about 15 knots... .

[Insight into the magic eye] It also penetrated its steel body and saw the internal precision system.

Steam is used not only for power, but also for steering rudder systems, mooring systems, rotating armor systems, loading ammunition, pumping water and lifting shipborne boats, harpoons, and so on.

Some are also used on [Full Heavy Battleship], but some make Ivan feel refreshed.

what? You say that stealing technology is wrong?

Hi, can the technicians be called stealing? This is called plagiarism!

"Well, the technology seems to be very mature, not like a genius who created it on a whim.

But in the absence of any front-end technology, it is indeed amazing to be able to achieve this level! "

In the rushing tide, some people are leading the tide, and some are being swept forward by the tide.

Aiwen has always believed that no great person is indispensable, and that the people are the creators of history.

The world will not be completely stagnant because of the lack of Mennon Watt or Irvine Galliot, at most it will be delayed for dozens of hundreds of years.

Suddenly, when his gaze moved to the core power room of [Steam Ironclad Ship], Ivan raised his brow lightly.

"This thing... it really doesn't stop there!"

【Power Core·Spinning Ball】

The working principle on the surface is that on both sides of a closed steel container, a brass pipe is installed on each side, and there is a hollow sphere that can rotate around an axis in the middle of the pipe.

On both sides of the sphere, install two reverse elbow nozzles in the direction of the vertical axis of rotation, fill the container with water and then burn charcoal for heating.

The water boils and turns into steam, carrying huge energy from the nozzles on both sides of the sphere, and the water vapor will drive the hollow ball to spin at high speed.

The rotation speed is as high as 3000 revolutions per minute, which provides endless surging power for this battleship.

Seeing the [steam-powered ironclad ship] in the battlefield of the sailing battleship fleet that was an era behind, Ivan gradually fell into deep thought.

"The one who invented this ironclad ship...not a human!"

Since Watt can break through the knowledge and cognitive circles of all intelligent creatures and successfully become the "Crown Wizard", it is impossible for anyone to be able to compete with "steam-powered machinery".

but.

As far as this iron-clad ship is concerned, the weapon system, steel armor, ship-borne artillery, etc. are nothing but the powerful [Power Core·Swivel Ball] should never be the creation of a human mechanical engineer.

Combining that the Atlan Kingdom was the first place where demons appeared in the intelligence, and even the demon gods descended, Iwen had reason to suspect that this was the "demon technology" given to certain Atlan people by the demon gods from the lower realm.

At least in the mystery that Ivan possessed.

Among the seventy-two pillars, the demon **** "Vasak" ranked third; "Valif" ranked sixth; "Bymon" ranked ninth; and "Cassie Moral" ranked 25th ; The twenty-eighth place is "Belle"; the thirty-third place is "Jiabo".

There are a total of six demon gods who have knowledge of science or alchemy.

However, if you add in the "stealth" ability that even [Mind Network] just didn't notice, this goal can be reduced to the sixth, ninth, and twenty-fifth three demon gods.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are plural demon gods with various abilities "helping" the Atlanians.

It's a pity that Solomon's contract with the seventy-two demons prevented him from taking the initiative to trouble them.

"MD, it is not difficult to figure out the intention of these demon gods to seek vitality behind the door. UU read www.uukānshu.com, but as it stands now, they are simply robbing us of business!

Either from adventures, from personal experience, or from independent thinking, Ivan has gradually sorted out a main line with a detached look.

The so-called "Renaissance", "Era of Great Navigation", "Steam Industrial Revolution", "Capital Flood"... everything is just a tributary of the big tide.

The trend of "weak compensation" that runs through the entire Hrag star is the mainstream that has always accompanied this world.

Individual strength is weakened, and scientific strength makes up for it.

no matter who.

In this process, every beneficial promotion of "compensation" should be able to get a huge amount of feedback from [the world's favor].

Maybe you can really go "behind the door" and hug the thighs of the true god, and you can take another brand new road to "crossing the catastrophe".

Even if it doesn't reach the level of a true god, he can still enter the next era with his current strength and reason. Let me ask, which true **** has thick legs with world consciousness!
