[Chapter 610 Battleship Made of Steel]

“New warship?” Madeleine asked curiously, “Do you mean the new platoon-type warship that was launched a few days ago? That warship is really great, but it is only more flexible and maneuverable in naval battles, and cannot To deal with more than a dozen enemy ships at the same time.”

No. 2 also said: “Yes, if we deliberately let the enemy fleet enter the port without defense, they will definitely bombard all the ships in the port at the moment of the sneak attack. If we get the first move, then there will be traitors to make trouble, and most of the ships that can fight in the port will be lost in an instant. Even if our new warships deliberately stop far away, they will not be affected by the first round of sneak attacks, but they will still be difficult for the enemy. Several warships.”

Robb said: “No, I’m not talking about the low-pressure warship that empties, I’m talking about the sharper…”

After hearing this, Madeleine’s eyes instantly lit up: “Ah , Mr. Robert, do you have any new inventions? You are the best at inventing weapons, and you must have something good.” The

Queen couldn’t help but be refreshed, she had seen the Katyusha and landmines invented by Robert Smith, It was a really great weapon. Later, through the “miniature camera” he invented, he got the evidence that Mondela and the Holy See of Light were fighting against the devil, and he won the hearts of the people in an instant.

Therefore, the Queen is still looking forward to the invention of the little baron in front of her, but she is not as blind as Madeleine.

Robb said: “It can’t be said to be my invention. It should be regarded as my teacher’s invention. It’s just that my teacher likes to use the invented things for people’s livelihood, and I am good at using weapons.

” It’s bright, it turns out to be the invention of a ghost man, so it must be easy to use. She couldn’t help but said excitedly: “Let’s hear it, what is it?”

Robb said solemnly: “Now Jonah’s forged reply from the Tang Dynasty has just arrived in the Lost City, and the fleet is coming to pick up the princess. ‘, it must be delayed for a month or two, because the Tang Dynasty is far away from here, if the fleet arrives too fast, the performance will not look like it. We will use a month or two to build a completely It’s a battleship made of steel, and it will become an elephant, no matter how sneaky a wild dog attacks, it can slap the wild dog honestly with a slap in the back.”

“Steel ship?” Princess, Madeleine, and No. 2 were all confused.

No. 2 couldn’t help but ask: “Can a ship made of steel float on the water? Can’t it go deep?”

Madeleine also said: “How much sail does a ship made of steel need to pull to run? Robb didn’t explain to the two of

them, but turned directly to the crystal ball and said to Miss Queen, “Your Majesty, you should be familiar with the steam engine.” The

queen’s eyes lit up: “Use a steam engine . Power?”

“That’s right.” Robb said, “Have you ever seen a waterwheel? It’s the kind of waterwheel that can be used to push a water mill. Let the water wheel go paddling, what do you think it will be like?”

In an instant, the queen seemed to understand something, the huge water wheel kept spinning and paddling, how much kinetic energy would it bring? Since a steam engine can drive a train made of steel to run fast, it can also drive a ship made of steel to run quickly.

A boat made of steel!

The queen immediately thought of the steam tank in West Wind Town. That thing is simply a perfect combination of offense and defense. The king of land combat, if there is a ship made of all steel, wouldn’t it be able to become the king of the sea. Can those tattered little wooden boats fight against something like this? That goes without saying.

She said decisively: “Madeleine, No. 2, you immediately hand over the boatmen of the Royal Shipyard to Baron Robert, and build a giant steel ship with the fastest speed! We are going to prepare an elephant in the lost city.

” Delin and No. 2 don’t chat with Robb as often as the Queen does, and they have wide-ranging eyes. The two of them haven’t reacted yet, and they don’t understand what the Queen and Robb are going to do.

However, since the Queen has given the order, there is nothing to hesitate, so hurry up and call someone.

That evening, a group of boatmen came to Robb’s room.

The first person is an old boatman in his fifties, who looks very experienced.

When he saw Robb, his expression was obviously a little weird: “Mr. Baron, we are shipbuilders at the Royal Shipyard. Your Majesty ordered us to see you, saying that you have a more powerful ship design plan, and let us help you to complete it. Robb had no choice but to say: ”

Well, she has won the prize. I don’t have any systematic plan, I just have a small idea.”

“Only an idea?” , Obviously, he took the “idea” that Robb was going to say as a layman who was going to blind BB.

Robb can understand what he is thinking now. He must be thinking: where did the rich second generation come from, and he wants to point fingers at experts, making a pointless idea, and making us blind again. toss.

But it doesn’t matter, it is right to have doubts. The progress of science is to stumble forward step by step amid countless doubts. If no one doubts, it will be detrimental to the improvement and development of technology.

Robb smiled and asked: “Do you think a ship made of steel will sink?”

“Of course not.” The old boatman also laughed: “That’s just a layman’s guess, as long as you calculate the buoyancy and gravity The relationship between the two will not sink.”

“That’s good.” Robb said: “If you can say this, I am very confident in my assumption. Come on, I won’t talk nonsense, let me show you first. A drawing.”

Robb took out a drawing of a “steam ship”, which was very simple, similar to a child’s simple strokes, without drawing any internal structures, only the appearance.

However, for seasoned old boatmen, a look at the shape is enough to understand a lot.

He saw the prominent water wheel in the middle of the hull at a glance.

“This is the only power on the boat, right?” the old boatman said: “Judging from this shape, it is used to push water. If it rotates fast enough, it can push the water back quickly, and the entire boat will be pushed back. Paddle forward… However, this requires a lot of power. I don’t think it can be done by dozens or even hundreds of people. After all, this whole ship is made of steel and will be very heavy. .”

“Yes, so it needs a steam engine.”

“What?” The old boatman was confused: “What is a steam engine?

” to the Lost City.

Robb smiled and waved his hand and opened a portal: “Go in, go to the holy city of Zephyr, you are responsible for the design of the ship, and the dwarf craftsmen there are responsible for providing power.”
