When Cao Ang heard this, he was also shocked, and the expression on his face became so surprised, and he nodded frequently.
Now this new type of steam ship has been newly strengthened in terms of speed, defense, and offense. If such a powerful ship is used in that battle, it will definitely be able to fight. unexpected effect.
If this new type of steam ship is a ferocious behemoth, then being equipped with so many weapons is equivalent to putting sharp claws on this behemoth!
In this case, it is like a tiger with wings added.
Of course, Cao Wei's artillery technology is not very mature now, and there is still a gap compared to Cao Ang's ideal artillery.
This kind of artillery technology probably corresponds to the level of Mongolian artillery during the Yuan Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian artillery was not as powerful as the artillery of the Ming Dynasty in terms of accuracy, range, or lethality. Not only that, but also in terms of weight. People have an unbearable feeling.
However, although the current artillery is not as powerful as the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the era of everywhere is very early now, and now with such weapons and equipment, it is already an overwhelming victory.
After all, Cao Wei has entered the era of gunpowder weapons when everyone else is still in the era of cold weapons. The gap between them cannot disappear, and it cannot be ignored.
The party with gunpowder weapons must be able to show full suppression, and such suppression is fundamental.
After learning about this warship, Cao Ang then inspected the entire ship for combat exercises.
After watching the review, Cao Ang felt very satisfied with such a ship combat exercise and this new generation of steam ships, and nodded repeatedly.
Such a situation can be regarded as shocking Zhuge Liang's heart and can no longer be shocked.
This Zhuge Liang has always wanted to do this well, but now that he saw Cao Ang's satisfied look, how could Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Ma Jun and others be unhappy?
I have worked so hard for a year, just to get Cao Ang's appreciation, Cao Ang's approval!
Now, their wish has been fulfilled, how can they not be happy about such a happy thing?
After the inspection, Cao Ang didn't know what sounded, and then asked again: "How is the production speed of this new generation of steam ships?"
Now that the steamship has been inspected, there are no other questions, so Cao Ang just wanted to ask how fast the steamship is being built!
After Zhuge Liang heard Prime Minister Cao Ang's words, he was also a little entangled in his heart, but he still said bluntly: "Because this new generation of steam ships is too large, it is still somewhat difficult to manufacture!"
"In addition, now our Huainan Shipyard has only opened one production line. Under such circumstances, even if thousands of labors are used, if we want to manufacture a brand new steam ship, we will need to choke to death." A month's time!"
One ship a month?
After Cao Ang heard this situation, he was even more shocked.
In fact, this speed is not too slow. After all, such a brand new steam ship requires very high financial, material and manpower!
Even if it is the most common building boat, if you want to build one in a month, it will be difficult!
What's more, now a brand new steam ship can be built in a month?
This speed is quite slow.
Compared with the old ship, the brand new steam ship is quite complicated, and the consumption is even greater. It is already very fast to be able to manufacture one in a month.
Although this speed is very good, Cao Ang is obviously not satisfied with this situation.
For Cao Ang, there is still room for improvement and room for improvement in such a situation.
Now, Cao Ang has provided a very large labor force to the shipbuilding industry. The number of craftsmen in one Huainan shipyard alone is already more than the total number of those shipyards in the world.
Under such circumstances, it is used to overcome the problem of large size of new ships.
However, compared with those large ships and cruise ships of the later generations, this new type of steam ship is still a bit outdated, and it pales in comparison.
Therefore, this steam ship can still be built faster.
Zhuge Liang also said just now that the current situation is that there is only one production line, so if you want to increase the speed, you should open a few more production lines, or find another address and add a shipyard!
Such a situation is the solution to the speed of production, and more importantly, the solution to the speed of shipbuilding.
Anyway, there is no need to think about the issue of food now, and the taxation of the court is also rising step by step. For the common people, farming is not as easy as before, so naturally they have to start looking for jobs and start working.
Most importantly, Cao Ang is even more confident in holding all these workers firmly in his hands.
Zhuge Liang thought of something, and then said to Cao Ang: "Master Prime Minister, now that this new type of steam ship has been manufactured, why don't you name the ship yourself?"
This new type of ship has not been named since it was manufactured, but now, no matter from any aspect, this new type of ship needs to be mass-produced, so it is time to name it.
After Cao Ang heard Zhuge Liang's words, he also felt that it was necessary. After all, these ships were not used for transition, and even if these ships were used, they would definitely be able to use them for a long time.
For a long period of time, this ship will serve Cao Wei, so it must have a very resounding name both in sound and in name.
After that, Cao Ang also used his brain, and then began to think about it.
For such a situation, Cao Ang is very good at it, and then he said with a smile: "This new ship has given the navy a new life, and it is like a king in this sea area. In addition, with such a new type of ship The war will definitely be resolved in an instant, if this is the case, then this new ship will be called 'Holy King' from today!"
Chapter 465 Carrying the Banner of Technology
The Holy King sounds very domineering. Holy has two meanings. The first kind of consciousness is sacred and inviolable. For this new type of steam ship, going to war is a symbol of holiness, thinking of God's will!
And this saint even has the meaning of the emperor. If this new type of ship goes out, it symbolizes the emperor, then it will naturally have an unprecedented oppressive force, and the most important thing is that there is still a kind of strength that is difficult to contend with!
Winner takes all, loser for Kou!
The second king is also very meaningful, that is, it symbolizes victory!
For the Cao Wei navy, there is no need for many such ships at all, only four or five ships are needed, because these four or five ships alone can kill all the naval forces on the Chinese water. It's gone.
Of course, on the waters of China, the only navy that can compete with Cao Wei is the Soochow Navy and Liu Biao's Jingzhou Navy. These two troops are not even bullshit in Cao Ang's eyes.
If Cao Ang didn't have much confidence before, then Cao Ang has it now, because this new type of steam ship has been developed, and such a ship is invincible!
After naming the new type of ship, Zhuge Liang and others were also very excited. The new type of ship reasonably researched by Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Ma Jun and others had a new name, and this name was obtained by the prime minister himself. It is impossible to make them happy.
Holy King!
With such a resounding name, Zhuge Liang was so excited that he shed tears of emotion.
After the inspection, Cao Ang turned back to Xudu, and when he came to Xudu, he received good news.
This good news came from the people of Nagwu College.
When passing the news to Guan Yu, he, Cao Ang, once sounded a brand-new way of passing the news, that is, the telegraph.
And when he received the news from Nagewu Academy, Cao Ang was directly shocked.
I really didn't expect that this telegraph would be researched in such a short period of time, it was beyond his imagination.
However, for such a situation, Cao Ang calmed down afterwards.
