Chapter 461 Women, Be Hard on Yourself
Tang Chenying didn't open the door, but how could this matter be more difficult than Shang Shang. Gao Dashang shouted at the door, which attracted countless attentions, and stood at the door without leaving.
Soon, spectators gathered on the street. Some people pointed at Gao Dashang, while others sent humble smiles and respects from a distance. Of course, some people were curious about Tang Chenying who did not open the door, so they inevitably said something.
Tang Chenying is a master at the peak of Yuanying, but the voice outside the door can be heard clearly! Seeing that Gao Dashang still hadn't left, Tang Chenying was furious.
Lady Tang opened the door angrily, and shouted angrily at Gao Gaoshang: "Gao Gaoshang, you are not welcome here!"
"Xiaoying... you forgot that we were..."
"We've only met a few times, what about those years!" Tang Chenying became even more angry, and the bastard became more and more presumptuous. It's all said to make progress, this guy can fly in the air and step on his nose and face!
Gao Gaoshang looked at Tang Chenying's peerless face with fascination in his eyes; but at this time, Gao Gaoshang spoke uprightly: "Friend Tang Daoist, please forgive me for disturbing you. Today, I am here by His Majesty's order, and I want to ask you You asked about the situation in the west of the Fertile Continent. Is it convenient for you?"
Tang Chenying opened his mouth, pointed at Gao Dashang for a while, and then snorted, "Come in!"
Tang Chenying took Gao Dashang to sit down in the gazebo in the yard, called Li Yuanyuan over, and said to Gao Dashang not very politely: "If you want to know the West of Fertile Earth Continent, you need me as an apprentice.
Just ask if you have any questions. "
Seeing Tang Chenying's business-like appearance, Gao Gaoshang didn't care. He looked at Tang Chenying carefully for a while, until Tang Chenying got a little impatient, then he laughed. Turning to look at Li Yuanyuan:
"Nephew, the situation is like this. Recently there was news from the West that a 'coastal war' broke out between the two holy places of the Xiaoyao Sect and the Xuanzhen Sect. However, the most eye-catching thing in this coastal war is that There was a duel of steel battleships.
The 19 steel warships of the Xuanzhen Sect and the five steel warships of the Xiaoyao Sect and more than 300 warships had a decisive battle at sea. In the end, the Xuanzhen Sect won a complete victory, and the warships of the Xiaoyao Sect were wiped out.
Your Majesty is very curious about the 'Steel Battleship'. I heard that you have been to the west of the Fertile Continent, so I came here to inquire. "
Li Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly brightened: "Uncle Shi, Steel Battleship? Are you sure it's the name? Do you have more detailed information?"
Gao Gaoshang took out the jade slips and was about to speak, but Tang Chenying snorted coldly: "Don't call him uncle!"
"Oh..." Li Yuanyuan blinked, and silently took Gao Shang's jade slips. Compared with the jade slips in Fertile Land Continent, the jade slips here are better, and they even recorded the situation of the battlefield completely. Of course, it's still blurry, but you can still see the general situation. In particular, the jade slips also have their own explanations inside.
The fleets of the two sides began to shoot at each other more than ten kilometers apart, and the naval battle officially started.
Li Yuanyuan's heart was shaken, and after a while she slowly put down the jade slip, "Uncle Master..."
"Cough!" Tang Chenying reminded.
Li Yuanyuan stuck out the tip of her tongue in embarrassment, "Senior, are these steel warships produced by a commercial group called 'Dayang Group'?"
"Yes!" Gao Dashang's eyes lit up instantly, "You know?"
Tang Chenying snorted disdainfully: "The Li family owns the shares of Dayang Group, which means partial ownership. The Li Yuanyuan who is talking to you now has also handled the accounting of Dayang Group! Do you think he knows about it!"
Gao Gaoshang's eyes became brighter, and he was so excited that he wanted to stand up, "Yuanyuan, how much is the price of the steel battleship? Your Majesty wants to buy some, do you think it can be cheaper?"
"This..." Li Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed, "Senior, when I left Dayang Group, I had just produced Dutian Liezhen, and I had just produced a material called 'steel'. A material that is better than black iron s material.
At that time, Dayang Group just had a sailing plan, and there was no steel battleship yet.
Therefore, I don't know the specific situation of the Iron Battleship.
Steel, though, I know. This is steel. "
Li Yuanyuan took out an iron block of about one kilogram from the storage ring. The iron block looked similar to the top-grade black iron color, but the color was much darker.
Gao Dashang took it over and inspected it for a while, thoughtfully: "It's better than black iron, with a purity of 98%! This thing... is much more expensive than black iron, right?"
"Three times the price of black iron with the same purity!" Li Yuanyuan said slowly, "When I left the West of Fertile Land, the price of such steel was as high as 30 high-grade spirit stones a catty, and this piece of steel is at least 60 high-grade spirit stones.
I don't know what the price of steel is now, but according to my understanding, if you want the quality of steel to be qualified, the purity should generally not be lower than 98%.
If a battleship is entirely made of steel, with artillery and other technologies, the cost of this battleship must be astronomical!
By the way, how big is the battleship during the battle? "
Gao Dashang's face became serious: "It is said that the small steel warship has more than 10,000 tons, and the large one has more than 20,000 tons. By the way, how much is this 'ton'?"
"One ton, one thousand kilograms, two thousand catties.
However, I vaguely remember that Dayang Group's warships are calculated according to their displacement. That is the weight of the ship when it is fully loaded. A steel battleship is heavy, a 10,000-ton warship must weigh at least 4,000 tons.
Because there are differences in units of measurement between the East and the West, a pound in the East is slightly larger than a pound in the West. In this way, even if it is roughly calculated according to the eastern unit of measurement, the weight of the smallest warship is about 8 million to 9 million catties.
Calculated according to the price of black iron, the cost price of a steel warship would be 24 million spiritual stones. But this is only the cost price of the material. Shipbuilding requires technology, and Dayang Group has this saying: magic weapon has a price, technology is priceless!
Artillery etc from what I've seen on the record. The smallest and smallest cannons are all priced at 100,000 top-grade spirit stones. There is also the power system inside the battleship. The power system of the Dayang Group should be a steam turbine. Military steam turbines are said to start with three million high-grade spirit stones.
I estimate that for a warship of 10,000 tons, seniors must prepare at least 50 million high-grade spirit stones.
Of course, my estimate is not accurate. After all, when I left Dayang Group, there was no steel warship. The cost price is calculated according to the original steel price.
And it's still 98% pure steel; if steel with a purity of 99% or more is used on the battleship, the price will probably increase a lot.
For the specific situation, you have to ask Dayang Group. "
Gundam is still a little dazed, this situation is a bit unexpected! He looked at Li Yuanyuan who was talking eloquently, and it took him a long time to gradually react. The estimate given by Li Yuanyuan is probably not much different from the real price.
Of course, Li Yuanyuan's words also revealed a lot of information. For example, when Li Yuanyuan left, there were no steel battleships, but now only two years later, a duel of steel battleships broke out. Also, Li Yuanyuan seems to be absolutely sure that the steel battleship was built by Dayang Group, not someone else?
Faced with Gao Shang’s question, Li Yuanyuan explained: “Two years is not a short time. And the reason why I am sure that the steel battleship was built by Dayang Group is because as far as I know, only Dayang Group has the steel technology, and Dayang Group also has The background of Xuanzhen Sect is difficult for others to touch!
Also, for the artillery on the battleship, I saw large-caliber artillery with a range of more than ten kilometers. Such artillery technology seems to be possessed only by Dayang Group.
Senior, look carefully, the artillery of the warship behind is very close. These artillery may not be produced by Dayang Group. "
Gao Gaoshang took back the jade slip and observed it for a long time, and finally had no choice but to nod, "Yes, it is obvious that there are two technologies on the cannon. But it is strange, since the Dayang Group has the background of Xuanzhen Sect, why can the Xiaoyao faction have steel warships? "
Li Yuanyuan smiled helplessly: "Senior, I have been away for two years. I don't know exactly what happened. But one thing should be for sure. If it is a steel battleship, if it is completely made of steel, then it should Only Dayang Group can build it."
Gao Gaoshang thought for a while, and finally asked, "Yuanyuan, do you want to go home?"
Li Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little bit moved. It has been two years since she came out...
"I don't want to!" Tang Chenying said coolly, "If you don't become a Nascent Soul, you won't go home! Women, you have to be tough on yourself!"
The corner of Gao Dashang's mouth twitched!
Li Yuanyuan's eyes flashed sadly, but was quickly replaced by strength. She slowly shook her head at Gao Dashang: "Master, I'm not planning to go back for now."
