Ironclad ships

Quality: Gold

(Description: Its hull was made of heavy steel, covering key parts such as the sides, bow, and stern, greatly enhancing the ship's defensive capabilities in battle. At the same time, it used a steam engine as its power plant, which greatly increased the ship's speed.)

(Materials required: wood planks, 0/5000 steel, 2000/2000 copper, 0/1000 steel wire rope, 100/100 electronic components, etc.)

Looking at the blueprints for the ironclad ship that required a dense array of materials, Wang Fan felt a headache coming on.

Although most materials are available, materials like steel and steel wire rope are particularly problematic.

This is the first time I've seen something like this; it must be a rare material.

He set aside the ironclad ship blueprints and took out the blueprints for the cowhide armor.

Finding the blueprint for the cowhide armor was much simpler; it only required some cowhide and some thread.

He had all of these, and then began manufacturing them directly at the workbench.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that these items also offered men's and women's styles.

Then six sets were made: one men's set and five women's sets.

This way, everyone can get new equipment.

Looking at the leather armor in his hand, Wang Fan showed a satisfied expression.

The women's version, in particular, is not only exquisitely designed, but also features reinforced protective features in key areas.

He imagined everyone looking dashing in their new armor, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

At this moment, the women gathered around. Xiao Meng picked up a piece of women's armor and held it up, saying with a grin, "Brother, is this the new equipment?"

Wang Fan nodded: "That's right, it's made of second-tier cowhide. Wearing it will greatly enhance your defense."

Hua Nianci stroked the armor and said, "This armor feels quite comfortable to the touch."

Su Yaqi said with a look of anticipation, "Then let's try them on quickly."

The women donned armor, making them appear even more heroic and valiant, given their already graceful figures.

The tight-fitting armor perfectly accentuated their curves, exuding a unique charm.

Wang Fan stared at the group of women in front of him, momentarily stunned, and blood began to flow from his nose.

When Xiao Meng saw Wang Fan's expression, she burst out laughing: "Brother, you're so pathetic!"

Wang Fan awkwardly wiped the blood from his nose and said, "It's just that everyone is too good-looking."

Upon hearing this, the women blushed.

Su Yaqi said coquettishly, "You're so sweet-talking."

Hua Nianci winked mischievously: "Wang Fan, would you like to give it a try?"

This stirred Wang Fan's heart, and he almost lost control, but he managed to restrain his inner impulse.

Wang Fan took a deep breath and said, "Stop fooling around, I'm not in the mood right now, I need to hurry up and find the materials for the ironclad ship."

Seeing his serious expression, the women stopped joking around.

Qin Xiaoxuan asked curiously, "Wang Fan, what materials do we need?"

Xiao Meng then asked, "Yes, tell us about it so we can help keep an eye out."

Wang Fan frowned and said, "We need a lot of steel. I've never seen this before. Does anyone know what it is?"

The women all shook their heads. Just then, Su Yalin, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "I think I've seen it at the auction house."

Wang Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "When did you meet them?"

Su Yalin recalled, "It seems like it was just this morning."

Upon hearing Su Yalin's words, Wang Fan quickly opened the system auction house.

Then I searched and found that someone was indeed selling steel.

Moreover, the price is not low; two units of steel require one gold coin.

But for Wang Fan, a big tycoon, this was a piece of cake.

So he spent 10,000 gold coins to buy 20,000 units of steel.

Then they returned to the workbench to prepare to manufacture the steel wire rope.

A steel wire rope requires one unit of steel and one unit of rope, which must be gathered together exactly.

After all the materials were prepared, Wang Fan led everyone to the deck.

He opened the system manufacturing, selected the ironclad ship, and clicked to start manufacturing.

In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and a majestic ironclad ship came into view.

Xiao Meng screamed with excitement, her joy overflowing.

"Wow, so this is an ironclad ship? It's amazing!"

Su Yalin's face was also flushed, and her eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, "This is so cool! It's the first time I've ever seen such a big ship!"

Qin Xiaoxuan was also full of excitement and said loudly, "Then let's go up and take a look!"

The group eagerly boarded the ironclad ship and began to look around.

After some inspection, the group discovered that in addition to its sturdy steel hull, this ironclad ship also...

The ship is also equipped with an advanced navigation system, which can more accurately locate and plan routes compared to the rudimentary compasses used on previous sailboats.

In the future, you won't even need to operate it yourself; you can directly set the ship's course and speed.

Compared to the sailing ships of the past, the ironclad ships had more spacious interiors and more advanced facilities.

Sailing ships used to be difficult to maneuver, while ironclad ships had sophisticated control systems that made sailing much easier.

Most importantly, the ironclad ships were powered by steam.

Starting with powerful steam power is far superior to sailboats, which rely on wind power and are thus limited in their capabilities.

For this purpose, a huge warehouse for storing coal was specially set up inside the ship.

Xiao Meng exclaimed in surprise, "This ironclad ship is so much better than our old sailboat!"

Su Yaqi nodded in agreement: "Yes, and it's much safer and more secure than before."

Just then, Qin Xiaoxuan excitedly shouted, "Come and see! There's still electricity here!"

The group rushed over upon hearing the noise and were amazed to find that some areas of the ironclad ship were actually powered by electricity.

Wang Fan said in surprise, "This is a wonderful surprise. With electricity, many things will be much more convenient."

Hua Nianci laughed and replied, "Yes, I thought I'd be relying on candles for the rest of my life! I never expected..."

After the initial excitement subsided, Wang Fan quickly regained his composure and said, "Everyone, stop being so happy and hurry up and move the things from the sailboat over here."

Everyone sprang into action, making trip after trip between the sailboats and the ironclad ships.

After several hours of hard work, with everyone's concerted efforts, everything was finally moved.

Wang Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, we finally finished moving everything before dark."

Xiao Meng collapsed onto the ground, exclaiming, "Oh dear, I'm exhausted!"

Everyone looked at the old sailboat, their hearts filled with emotion.

Su Yaqi said softly, "It has also accompanied us through many ups and downs."

Qin Xiaoxuan nodded: "Yes, although we now have ironclad ships, these old sailing ships also deserve credit."
