Chapter 561 Warship (First update)
In the big tent, Wang Zhi had temporarily forgotten this incident.
Wang Zhi was a little confused as to why the planted explosives were not detonated as agreed, but it was not a big deal after all.
Testing artillery is always a matter of taking retreat to advance.
The most important thing is that the black flag general cannon can be fired, can be fired, and can be fired far. Proving these three points is much more important than firing accurately.
After all, no matter how high the accuracy of your cannon is, it still depends on the person using it. Although there is an error of tens of feet at the moment, when it comes to marching to fight, or gathering to attack a city, as long as you can hit people, it will be victory. .
Anyway, the city is so big and you can’t run away, and there are so many people that you don’t have to worry about not being able to hit them.
The transfer of General Black Flag to the young man could also prove that the output of Wang Zhi's arsenal was large enough, and there was no need to feel sorry for the loss of this cannon.
"Next, I want to show you my second treasure." Wang Zhi gently raised his hand and patted it, and then someone carried something covered with white cloth into the center of the tent and placed it on Wang Zhi's back. in front of.
This thing looked quite big, a little taller than Wang Zhi, and it was covered with cloth. So for a while, many people below were scratching their heads, eager to know what was inside.
And Wang Zhi didn't really put too much pressure on it. He looked around, then stretched out his hand to grab the curtain and pulled it open with force.
After pulling it apart, almost everyone was stunned.
Because in front of Wang Zhi is a ship.
It is as tall as a person, has masts, decks, and a keel. It can be said that this ship has everything a real ship should have, a scaled-down warship model.
"This..." How should I put it? The heroes in the audience have seen a lot of everything, but they have never seen such a scaled-down warship model.
"Boss Wang, where did this come from?"
"Could it be that this is Boss Wang's treasure?"
"That's what brought us all the way here to see this?"
Others below the stage frowned slightly.
Although Fang Bie has frowned a lot since coming here, and before coming again, Fang Bie also had some conjectures about what this Sovereign Meeting would be like.
But when all the conjectures turned into reality, the feeling was still a bit subtle.
Yes, although the battleship model Wang Zhi showed and the Wide Silence given to him by Guo Sheng were not carved from the same mold, their structures were similar.
At that time, Fang Bie was still thinking about why it was a river boat, but the draft was so deep. The feelings were created in preparation for going to sea.
Guo Sheng also said at the time that this was a ship built for someone else, but there was a little difficulty in delivery because of a minor accident.
Now the whole truth is revealed. This is the naval battleship built for Wang Zhi, and it is the latest type.
"Of course this is my treasure, but the real ship is too big and there is no way to pull it over for everyone to feast their eyes on, so I can only use the model to make up the numbers." "I only said that this ship is
our latest maritime warship. Wait until this When the ship comes out, all those red-haired warships on the southeast sea have to step aside for me! After all, people can't stand on the sea. Whether your fist is strong or not depends on how good your ship is." Wang looked around and said.
"Originally, when Wang and I were not yet successful, we could only make do with other people's ships. To be honest, our old ships are not as useful as those red-haired warships. On the sea, one of their ships can defeat four of our ships. Ships, fortunately those red-haired warships are few in number, we all rely on human sea tactics, or we can directly lean on to set up planks and jump on to win in hand-to-hand combat." Fang Bie couldn't help but grin a little when he heard this sentence, because he
thought He wrote the famous joke - "Who do you think I am! Get closer!"
and then sank.
The heroes in the audience were a little fascinated. Although Wang Zhi was talking about things at sea, facing those red-haired foreigners, everyone still had the same hatred. When they heard that their ships were not as good as theirs, they felt in their hearts. Still not convinced.
"Anyway, now that someone like me is rich, I naturally want to build my own boat. I specially went to the west to invite a few red-haired craftsmen to provide them with good food and drink, and let them spit out everything they knew. We have carefully discussed with our own shipbuilding masters to build new ships. To be honest, we have built several useless and expensive scrap ships. We can only use them to transport goods, but this ship will not It's the same."
Wang Zhi patted the model in front of him: "This ship is fast, has a heavy load, can install guns, and can transport cargo. There are many on the sea who are no match for this ship. Those red-haired warships are no match for it. If you dare to be arrogant, watch me sink them all one by one!"
When Wang Zhi said this, he felt quite high-spirited, which was quite inconsistent with his image of a Confucian scholar. Only at this time can you feel that he is Really the kind of overlord of the sea, no compromise at all.
And Wang Zhi paused, "With this ship, I dare not say that within thirty years, this ship will be the fastest, most powerful, and most resistant ship in the entire Southeast Sea. On the sea, I have the final say."
"But do you know why I want to build new ships and big ships?" Wang Zhi looked at everyone.
No one answered.
Because no one makes a living at sea, there is no way to get Wang Zhi's brain circuit at the first time.
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Live."
"You all say that people can't help themselves in the world. Well, I worked hard at sea, and I can't help myself." "
I also want to retire early and become a rich man. , but my brothers don’t allow it, and how many people are looking at the position under me eagerly, thinking that when will I take this position? If I want to survive, I must have the best boat. A good gun will do the biggest business and make the most money."
Wang Zhi looked at everyone, patted the battleship model in front of him and said with a smile: "And this ship is the one in my hand, whoever wants to touch me Wang Zhi , it depends on whether the ship agrees or not."
The audience listened in solemn silence.
Because it is conceivable that if the sea is really full of such state-of-the-art warships, then let alone the small boats of ordinary pirates, even the navy carefully prepared by the court, how can they be the opponents of these warships?
In that case, Wang Zhi would really be the lawless sea king at sea.
"Wang Zhi!" Someone suddenly shouted from the audience.
"What exactly do you want to do!"
"Do you still want to be the emperor?"
PS: Four updates today.
In fact, this plot is quite enjoyable to write, so I’ll give it my best.
