Conservative estimate...

A black gold battleship must be eliminated unless it is too old in terms of performance.

Otherwise, within the natural environment.

A colorful warship can last at least three thousand years!

Moreover, the technology of colorful battleships is already outdated.

In fact, you can also drive it back to the shipyard to upgrade it, add newer components, and upgrade it to a more advanced new battleship that is in line with the trend of the times.

For long term consideration...

Zhu Hengyu has already issued an order to Ice Demon Heavy Industry.

The colorful battleship must be redesigned.

Integrate and modularize each area, each functional area, and each equipment.

Once it needs to be updated or upgraded in the future, the old equipment can be directly removed and replaced with new equipment, and the entire upgrade process can be completed.

In this way, these colorful battleships will not be completely eliminated even if they are used for three thousand years.

It is worth mentioning that the life span of ironclad ships is only one hundred years.

In fact, the point is not the iron armor, but the wooden hull covered under the iron armor, which is soaked in humid seawater all year round.

After hundreds of years, it is difficult to maintain sufficient strength.

This is still the case even after special treatment.

A wooden ship has a theoretical lifespan of a hundred years.

But as for battleships, there are very few battleships that can last for a hundred years.

Battleships are not merchant ships.

When fighting, battleships often accelerate, decelerate, and turn violently.

During the entire process, they will be constantly bombarded by stone bullets and even hit by other warships.

It is difficult for the wooden keel of a battleship to maintain sufficient strength and toughness under frequent impacts like this for a long time.

Let alone a hundred years, if it can be used for seventy or eighty years, it is considered strong.

The steel battleship is different.

Steel has enough strength to resist waves and the impact of stone bullets.

Even when hit by other warships, its main structure will not be easily distorted.

If it had hit just a wooden warship, it would have been even more devastating.

The battleship body and keel will not be distorted in the slightest.

Steel battleships, only fear steel battleships.

As for those wooden warships, even if they were covered with iron armor, they were still useless.

In the words of eighteen engineers from Ice Demon Heavy Industry.

In front of steel battleships, so-called ironclads are just bigger toys.

From a certain perspective, wooden warships are actually more suitable for offshore fishing and are not suitable for use as warships.

Especially when sailing on the ocean, the ability of wooden warships to withstand waves is very poor.

most of the time……

It was not the enemy who killed those navy soldiers.

But hurricanes and huge waves in the depths of the sea.

The strength of wooden battleships is, after all, limited.

Once it encounters a super hurricane or huge waves, it can easily be broken or even smashed into pieces.

But steel battleships don't have this problem at all.

Especially the giant steel ship with a length of more than 300 meters can almost ignore any wind and waves.

Under Zhu Hengyu's advice, the steel battleships built treated hurricanes as if they were nothing.

Once a hurricane blows on the sea, the steel battleship can just close the top carapace and dive to the bottom of the sea.

No matter how rough the waves are on the sea, it is still calm and calm deep underwater.

Moreover, even if it stayed on the sea, the so-called stormy waves would at most overturn the battleship, but it would never break the steel battleship, let alone smash it.

therefore……

For Zhu Hengyu, steel battleships that can be used for more than three thousand years are his irreplaceable choice.

The core reason why Zhu Hengyu cooperated with the Demonic Cow Clan, which he had always kept hidden, was to use the Demonic Cow Clan's heritage to build his own steel battleship.

Steel battleships all require precious metals.

Whether it's platinum or black gold, Zhu Hengyu can't get it.

If Zhu Hengyu hadn't been lucky enough to discover a black gold mine in the mine in the waters of Xueyang Island.

I'm afraid he can't even build the current ten black gold battleships.

With the foundation of Ice Demon Heavy Industry, it has accumulated tens of millions of years, and it has only accumulated the materials to build a small platinum battleship and a giant black gold battleship.

If even Ice Demon Heavy Industry couldn't obtain too many precious metals, Zhu Hengyu wouldn't even have to think about it.

If we don’t cooperate with the Demonic Cow Clan and find ways to allow the Demonic Cow Clan to open metal resource trading to Zhu Hengyu.

Even if the entire Demon Sheep Clan military department fully supports Zhu Hengyu, it will be of no use.

The mining ability of the Demon Sheep Clan is very ordinary.

The various metal ores accumulated are also very few.

The most important thing is that the 3,000 large shipyards of the Demon Sheep Clan consume an astronomical amount of metal every day.

Where are the extra resources? Give them to Zhu Hengyu!

For the Demon Sheep Clan, metal is the most scarce strategic resource.

For the powerful people of the Demon Sheep Clan, metal is their core interest and cannot be coveted.

If Zhu Hengyu dared to show even the slightest hint of covetousness, he would probably become the public enemy of all nobles.

With Zhu Hengyu's current background, he was immediately kicked out.

Will definitely be kicked out...

Don't think that the Demon Sheep Tribe Military Department is selfless.

Once core interests are involved, no matter who you are, you will be boycotted by everyone.

Didn't the Liu family unscrupulously cheat Zhu Hengyu back then?

If not, how could Zhu Hengyu and his army be trapped in Yangjiao Island and Yangjiao City?

If Zhu Hengyu wasn't quite capable.

Zhu Hengyu's bones are probably already cold.

And although the head of the Liu family was temporarily whipped to Leng Yamen, his future seemed bleak and there was no hope.

In fact, as long as it cools down for a period of time, everything will eventually pass.

Wait until everyone stops mentioning this matter.

After completely forgetting this matter, he still has a chance to rise.

Although last time, he framed Zhu Hengyu and angered many big shots in the military, but as the old saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Therefore, Liu Feng still has a chance to rise again.

Liu Feng was just a demon commander, yet he dared to frame Zhu Hengyu so unscrupulously and fearlessly.

Moreover, even after everything he did, he was not punished much in the first place.

If Zhu Hengyu hadn't taken the opportunity to take over, take away the position of Demon Commander, and ruin the good deeds of the Demon Sheep Tribe's military bosses.

Liu Feng will probably only receive verbal criticism.

He will not be transferred to Leng Yamen and sit idle.

Just imagine...

A demon commander can speak so unscrupulously.

What about those demon kings who are kings of a country?

It really touched their core, and they didn't even buy the Demon King's face.

Basically, as long as it is not betraying the Demon Sheep Clan, it is a serious crime to betray the Demon Clan.

There is no way to defeat the Demon King with the military methods of the Demon Sheep Clan.

As Demon Kings, they may take over the Demon Emperor's throne at any time.

There are really very few laws and rules that can restrict them.

At the very least, it would be a piece of cake to kick Zhu Hengyu out and exclude him from the military headquarters.

Therefore, Zhu Hengyu could not find any breakthrough within the Demon Sheep Clan.

The interests of the entire Demon Sheep Clan have been divided up.

If Zhu Hengyu wanted to reach in, he would grab it from other people's bowls.

Therefore, Zhu Hengyu could only use the Demon Cow Clan's coveted shipbuilding technology to make deals with the Demon Cow Clan's military headquarters.

The Demonic Cows did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Then Zhu Hengyu ran over in person to explain and analyze...

In the end, after the Demonic Cows were convinced, they naturally let go of the metal trade with Zhu Hengyu.

Moreover, it was still sold to Zhu Hengyu at the cost price.

In Zhu Hengyu’s plan...

The money earned from the Demonic Cow Clan will not be used for other purposes.

Even Zhu Hengyu didn't need the Demon Cow Clan to pay actual money.

It can be exchanged for various precious metals, rare metals, and strategic metal resources.
