It took the literati and officials several decades to emptie the Ministry of Works.

It took decades for the Mo Sect to catch up with the technology from the Yongle period, and then for decades to accumulate technology. I don’t know how far it has reached.

When Zhang Zhixiang arrived at Zhoushan Machinery Factory.

When I saw the latest "tank", I realized that the technology Mo Jiankang was born is already surprising.

The huge steel chariot has tracks and load-bearing wheels. There are several cannons on the car, and the surroundings are covered with hideous steel horns. When this thing starts, it is the only way to look down on the battlefield.

The only disadvantage is that it runs slowly.

Moreover, the requirements for the terrain are very high. It is too heavy. If the soil is soft, it will easily sink into it.

"In addition to steel tanks, the machinery factory has this thing."

The Wang family is a lifelong member of Zhoushan. Everything that is being produced can be found. Wang went down and took Zhang Zhixiang to ride on a hot air balloon, condescendingly, looking at the city from the sky.

"There were Kongming lanterns during the Three Kingdoms period."

"The principles are the same, but they just need to be enlarged. In fact, the aircraft produced by the machinery factory is not only this, but also other things being tested. We just don't have the authority to know."

"But it's actually the same."

"It is said that the wooden birds made by Luban can fly in the sky for three days and three nights with the help of wind. The new aircraft either uses this as a basis to imitate birds flying, or are similar to fire dragons coming out of the water."

"That's a firearm, often used in water warfare."

"This object is composed of several sections of thatched bamboo, equipped with a dragon head and tail, and equipped with two sections of gunpowder barrels. After being fired, it can be burned one by one. The thrust of gunpowder is used to push the rocket to kill the enemy. It can be launched four or five feet above the water surface, and can fly two or three miles away." (Ming Dynasty missiles are actually secondary rockets)

"The new aircraft is probably one of these two routes."

The ancients were not surprised by Feitian, but were talking nonsense. Zhang Zhixiang thought of the story of Feitian in Wanhu. Although the actual situation should be different from the records, it was obvious that the Ming people had no problems in the pioneering spirit.

In addition to the big news that the explosion in the Wanggong Factory in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was very advanced in the use of gunpowder, coal and oil. Only the Qing Dynasty deliberately used gunpowder just as fireworks.

Why? Because Di Yi was afraid of China, he was also a firearm.

After seeing the tank and hot air balloon, Wang Zhi took Zhang Zhixiang to the shipyard again. At present, there is an extremely huge pure steel ship on the ship platform, and the gun caliber is also terrifyingly large.

"This 'Xuande' warship has 100,000 materials. (more than 30,000 tons of water displacement)"

"In terms of size, it has surpassed the treasure ship of Zheng He's fleet at that time. Thanks to the development of the steam engine, the Xuande has stronger power and can run faster."

"There are 128 cannons on it, these are the latest cannons."

"The arsenal was named the red cannon, with a range of about ten miles. The main cannon weighs more than 10,000 kilograms and can hold a cannon shell of 100 kilograms. Once it is shot, it will be severely damaged within a radius of 100 meters."

"The Xuande is expected to be completed in June next year."

"In this martial arts conference, whoever we shareholders can win the championship can buy it."

Only when you really see these giant ships will you understand what power they have. If this year's championship quota is this giant ship, it can indeed affect the future sea control.

Even if old warships can be replaced with new artillery, many times the tonnage determines everything.

More than 30,000 tons of battleships...

"Now, only Zhoushan Shipyard can build this thing in the world, right?"

Zhang Zhixiang looked at the huge warship and sighed, Wang Zhi said: "The court must have no shortage of steel craftsmanship, nor is it shortage of steel production. What they lack is shipbuilding technology."

"After the Treasure Shipyard and Longjiang Shipyard were laid off, the imperial court can only build sea ships with thousands of materials now."

"It will not be able to catch up with Zhoushan's progress without 20 or 30 years."

"but."

"The court's military staff bureau's technology has always been good. As long as the court discovers the red cannon, it can be imitated at most half a year, and it will not fall behind in firepower."

"There is no need to worry that a fleet can threaten the court by placing it at the gate of the capital."

"The number of artillery that can be arranged on the shore is generally more than that of warships."

Wang Zhi also thought about such things, or if he had such a giant ship, anyone would think about whether the giant ship can threaten the court by placing the giant ship and cannon at the gate of the country.

The answer is no.

From the capital to Dagukou, it is more than 300 miles. Even if it can control the port, there is no way to advance on land. The Ming army is not the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. They can only ride horses and take swords to charge and accept line-up shooting.

It would be useless to transport the tank to land.

First of all, we must understand that tanks were developed to deal with those top warriors and monks.

Actually, it doesn't have to be very powerful.

Any master who is good at hearing things can touch the edge of the tank, rush in and kill everyone, and the iron box is useless. Compared with tanks, giant ships like Xuande will make people feel that they are not as good as possible. At least, Zhang Zhixiang has no choice but to use such giant ships.

I don’t know if Master Tian, ​​Master Sanfeng and others can do this thing.

"If it weren't for war, such giant ships should be enough to make trade exchanges around the world easier." Zhang Zhixiang sighed a little.

He hoped that during the Yongle period, Zheng He's voyage to the West would continue.

The Ming Dynasty acted as the defender of the world order, providing advanced technology to backward civilizations, cultivating civilizations while gaining wealth through formal trade, and gradually increasing the productivity of the whole world.

What kind of prosperity would it be?

Why did the Siluo people have massacre in Beishangzhou? Why did there be any accumulation of primitive capital for triangular trade? Under the feet of those capitals, there are scalp and dry bones.

"With interests, there will naturally be competition. If competition is too big, it will naturally be war."

"If you want to restore the prosperous era of Yongle, you must first start by eliminating the Xu family and taking back the sea power. This is not just the interests of our Wang family, so you must also ask the national teacher to bring the championship back."

Wang Zhi was determined to win the Xuande ship, or he had to get the ship.

If the Xu family takes it, they will be in no time to seize the power of sea control.

"Yes, sure."

Before seeing the real thing, Zhang Zhixiang actually lacked motivation, but after seeing the Xuande, he had no reason to lose, and he had to get the ship!
Chapter completed!
