When he saw Robb, his expression was obviously a little weird: "Mr. Baron, we are the shipwrights of the Royal Shipyard. His Majesty ordered us to come to see you, saying that you have a more powerful ship design plan, and let us assist you in completing it. .”

Robb had no choice but to say: "Well, she won the prize. I don't have any systematic plan, just a small idea."

"It's just a vision?" The old boatman's expression was clearly displeased. Obviously, he took the "vision" 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 want to point fingers at experts, come up with rubbish, meaningless assumptions, and make us blind again Toss some.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s right to have doubts. The progress of science has always been staggering forward step by step amidst countless doubts. If no one doubts, it is not conducive to the perfection 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 smiled: "That's just a layman's guesswork. As long as you calculate the relationship between buoyancy and gravity, you won't sink."

"That's good." Robb said: "If you can say this, I am very confident in my vision. Come on, without further ado, let me show you a blueprint first."

Robb took out a drawing of a "steam ship". This drawing was very simple, similar to a child's stick figure. The internal structure was not drawn at all, only the outline was drawn.

However, for an experienced old boatman, a glance at the appearance is enough to understand many things.

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

"This is the only power on the boat, right?" The old boatman said, "From its shape, it is used to repel water. If it rotates fast enough, it can quickly repel water and move the entire boat. Rowing 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, the entire 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?"

It turns out that the steam engine, which is well known in Westwind Town and Bright Road, has not yet spread to the Lost City.

Robb shook his hand with a smile, and opened a portal: "Go in, go to the holy city of Westwind, you are responsible for the design of the ship, and the dwarf craftsmen there are responsible for providing power."

PS: The 18th update is over, and the ice and snow naked 360-degree full rotation is asking for tickets.

PS: Seeing other people offering rewards for votes, there are many votes. My father-in-law's practice of not offering rewards and adding more honestly, but no one cares about it. This world is wrong.

Chapter 611 Crystallization of Advanced Technology

The old boatman led a large group of boatmen through the portal, and then they found that they had come to an inland city.

Shipbuilding in an inland city is almost unheard of, and the boatmen can't help but feel a little confused.

Not far away, in the courtyard of the church, a lazy priest waved at them and said with a smile, "Welcome to the holy city of West Wind. My disciples have already told me that you are here to build ships, right?"

"Ah, a respected Father." The old boatman came over and said, "Baron Robert asked us to come and build a ship, but this... this is an inland city, how can we build a ship here?"

"Why can't inland cities build ships?" Robb said with a smile: "After they are built, they can be sent to the seaside through a portal."

Old boatman: "..."

"The reason why it is built here is very simple." Robb said: "The first is that there is a complete industrial system here, with mines, refineries, and a large number of craftsmen. All kinds of parts and machines are ready-made. Yes, you can use it as soon as you bring it, and only in this way can you catch up with the time. The second is that the technology is kept secret!"

Hearing what he said, the old boatman understood!

The Lost City is crowded with people and spies. Last time he designed a paddle boat and built it around a canvas. It is quite inconvenient, but there is no need to worry too much here. Inland cities to steal the truth of shipbuilding?

After a while, Elsie came and was ordered to take the boatmen to take a brief tour of the holy city of Westwind, and they immediately saw the huge iron-making blast furnace, steam train, steam car... all kinds of things that made people feel happy. After they were dazzled by things that overturned their common sense, Elsie brought them to the dwarf village.

The steam tanks being processed and manufactured here once again shocked the boatmen. Even this kind of big iron car can run, so why worry about the big iron ship not being able to run? No one knows better than a boatman that the sea can carry giants of steel larger than land.

"Then let's start working!" The old boatman suddenly became excited: "I want to design a big ship made of all steel, hahahaha."

In the days that followed, intense shipbuilding work began.

Boatmen and dwarf craftsmen, come to Robb to get a few BUFFs, and then start working. The hull is made of steel, and a "steam engine" is placed inside as the heart. A tall chimney is erected on it, and a huge water wheel is placed on the hull. The sides of the stand up...

The boatmen soon discovered that they seemed to only play a design role, and the specific parts were all made by the dwarves.

The dwarves don't need to understand the knowledge of ships, they just need to manufacture parts according to the drawings and needs, they don't care about the design, and they don't care, anyway, whatever parts the boatmen ask for, they will build them out. Stitched together.

In fact, the boatmen did not understand the steam engine, the axle, the transmission system, and even how the water wheel was turned.

Their common sense of shipbuilding has been subverted...

They seem to understand that shipbuilding is no longer just the work of boatmen, it seems to contain a whole industrial system.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, two months have passed.

It's almost summer now! Harvest time is approaching.

Robb is avatar every day, and he is really tired from two-lane operations in two places at the same time. I want to end this hard day quickly. Of course, the biggest comfort in these days is that Madeleine plays with him every day. There is a lovely With Madeleine as company, it's worth the hard work.

The fake rabbit princess continued to hold social dances in the lost city, promising various missionary preferential policies to the dark church, which made the high-level officials of the dark church excited and inexplicable.

In June, the weather is hot.

On this day, a messenger arranged by Jonah came to the Lost City and brought a news that made everyone extremely excited: "The fleet of Dongtu Datang will arrive within five days."

Everyone has been waiting for this news!

The people of the Dark Vatican wanted to wait for the news to come, and began to spread the teachings in the Tang Dynasty.

The people of Noma are also waiting for the news and preparing to launch a surprise attack.

And the people on Robb's side were getting a little impatient.

In a valley next to the holy city of West Wind, a huge steel ship has been built. The ship is more than 30 meters long. To be honest, it is not very big.

Three-masted sailing ships these days are often more than 30 meters long. For example, the three-masted three-masted ship that was launched in the Lost City not long ago was 32 meters long, longer than this newly built steel warship. Just a little bit.

However, although the length is the same, the weight is completely different. This ship is almost entirely made of steel, heavy and heavy, and its defense is not at the same level as the wooden ship.

Under the command of Robb, the boatmen painted the steel warship with wood-grain paint. If you don't scratch off this layer of paint, no one will know that it is made of steel.

There are more than thirty dwarven cannons installed on the ship, which are used for physical output.

In addition, a lot of messy magic props were installed for magic output.

The main gun on the bow of the ship is actually the "Roar of Thor" in the Desert Kingdom. The production technology of this kind of magic tool has now been captured and copied by Her Majesty's royal magic tool production experts. The first imitation It was installed on this cutting-edge battleship as the main gun.

In addition to the physical dwarven cannons on both sides of the ship, the "Katyusha" invented by Robert Smith was installed, and a large number of defensive magic runes were drawn on the ship.

This can be said to be the crystallization of the most cutting-edge technology in Siegland!

The boatmen were also very moved by their masterpiece, but the question now is how to get it to the Lost City...

Then it's time to witness the miracle.

Miss Queen saw through the crystal ball that in the dead of night, Robert Smith opened a portal to the holy city of Zephyr by the seaside of the shipyard in the lost city, and the ghost man on the side of the portal, He lazily got up from his stone chair, walked under the 30-meter-long boat, and lifted it up with one hand.
