On a hillside, Chu Qi and others were secretly observing the shipyard below with a telescope. Several ships were moored at the Hunter's Corner, including one or two new ships.

“There is the shipyard in Hunter’s Point, and there is a dry dock built by the United States.”

"It seems that the guard is quite tight and you can't force it, otherwise the powder barrel will be ignited in advance. What we need to do is wait for the opportunity."

Chu Qi observed the shipyard in San Francisco's Hunter's Point through a telescope and gave up the idea of ​​attacking the shipyard.

The United States arranged at least hundreds of militias to guard the shipyard capable of making steamships, as well as sailors affiliated with steamships.

Chu Qi thought in his mind that if he used the Jinyiwei's manpower, he might be able to attack the shipyard, but the price would be very heavy.

Using valuable intelligence personnel to exchange militias will also make Lincoln and others notice the intentions of the Jinyiwei in advance, which may affect the strategic deployment.

"The keel lying in the dry dock at this time should be the keel of the United States Iron Craft, which looks to be between 90 and 100 meters long. Guess what type of ship it is?"

Chu Qi used a surveying and mapping tool to guess the length of the ironclad ship.

Peeping into the arms of the great powers is the daily work of the Jinyiwei. They can infer a lot of things by just observing from a distance.

Guo Yan said: "Since it is the technology that the Sun-Don't Set Empire assisted them, it is very likely that it is an improved type of the Iron Crafts of the Sun-Don't Set Empire. The Americans were originally descendants of the Sun-Don't Set Empire. They were going to unite to pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty in the Pacific."

Feng Yuruo, who has never liked to talk, speculated on the type of ironclad ship: "It should be the 'Ravage Class' ironclad ship of the Sun-Battle Empire. Look at the turrets to be installed next to it, it is very likely to be a 12-inch front-mounted rifled gun, weighing 35 tons."

Feng Yuruo is from the Ministry of War and has a clear understanding of the enemy's information. Of course, the source of these information is the Jinyiwei lurking in England.

"The Empire of the Sun is so generous. In order to check and balance our Ming Dynasty, even the ironclad ship technology that was the only one that was the master of ten years ago was handed over to the Americans."

Chu Qi saw Feng Yuruo, who was born in the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty, confirming that the ship being built by the Americans was just a "ravaged class" ironclad ship of the Empire of Sun Never Setting, and it was probably almost the same.

Even though the emergence of the Ming Empire brought the industrial age of this world ahead of schedule, there are only a few powerful powers that have independently built ironclad ships. Each powerful has one or two ironclad ships, such as the Prussian "Saxon" class, the "Rabberation Class" of the Sun-Don't Setting Empire, the "Emperor" and the "Hanwu Class" of the Ming Dynasty.

I don’t know what treaty Lincoln and the Sun Buset Empire reached, so that the Sun Buset Empire would give the production technology of the ravage class ironclad ships to the United States.

"But the ravage level is no longer the latest iron armored ship of the Sun-Battle Empire. The Sun-Battle Empire is imitating our Emperor-level iron armored ships of the Ming Dynasty. Their ravage level was sunk by our Emperor-level emperor-level in the previous naval battle in Malacca, which shocked them greatly." Feng Yuruo expressed another important information.

Chu Qi is not the intelligence officer of the Sun-Down Empire. He may not have a deep understanding of the situation of the Sun-Down Empire, but he knows that the level of ironclad ships made by Prussia has exceeded that of the Sun-Down Empire ten years ago.

The powers of the East and the West are all desperately developing technology. Only the advanced technology can improve national strength. No one knows what the technology of various countries will become in the past ten years since the First Eastern War.

"Our Ming Empire is probably the most terrifying existence. The emperor-level iron armored ships that the Sun-Don't Setting Empire is imitating, but our Ming Dynasty has 16..."

Chu Qi always felt that the power of the Ming Empire was beyond his imagination. The United States attached great importance to this shipyard in order to produce ironclad ships ten years ago. Chu Qi thought that the Ming Empire had 16 most advanced emperor-level ironclad ships, and then he realized that the Ming Empire was a giant.

No wonder all the contradictions within the great powers had to form an anti-Ming alliance. Even if Prussia and Austria went to war, they were on the surface members of the anti-Ming alliance.

"Sir, our Ming Dynasty has always been the most powerful country, and there is no doubt that this is true. But any factor that can pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty should be erased. The subordinates will stay in California and try to destroy this shipyard at the right time."

Although the United States strictly guarded the shipyard, Guo Yan made a promise to destroy the shipyard in order to make contributions to Chu Qi.

"Don't sacrifice anything because of destroying a shipyard. Our lives are more important than the iron ship ten years ago. Let's go, it's time for us to go down the mountain." Chu Qi said.

"Also, the two of us who followed us in Chinatown last time were caught by us. They are professions called 'private detectives' in North America. Their work content is a bit similar to our Jinyiwei, but they usually only perform simple tasks such as tracking and investigation." Guo Yan reported to Chu Qi on the way down the mountain.

"Private detectives? They have set their sights on us?" Chu Qi asked.

"It is very likely that the United States commissioned these private companies to fight back against our Jinyiwei. Their government has limited control and many things are solved by private companies."

"Hey, what can these private detectives do in front of our Jinyiwei?"

Chu Qi sneered. The Jinyiwei has a complete intelligence collection system, as well as numerous assets, peripheral members, and intelligence networks all over the world. How could a private detective with a few or even a dozen people be able to cope with it?

"What do you plan to deal with the two private detectives we caught?"

"Transport them to Siberia to dig railways and wait until we complete this mission before releasing them."

Chu Qi made a simple decision to slap his head, and let two poor private detectives be seized by Jinyiwei and sent to the cold Siberia to dig the railway.

In order to strengthen control over Siberia and Central Asia, the Ming Empire was building a large railway in Siberia. The Jinyiwei's means to make others disappear out of thin air are often not to erase it directly, but to be taken to Siberia to contribute its own efforts to the construction of the Ming Empire.
