There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 408 Ironclad Ship

On the surface of the East China Sea, there is no wind and the sun is shining today.

The sun shines on the Dingyuan, and the sun is already westward, and the afterglow pulls the reflection of 'Deng Shichang' long.

He is thinking.

Looking at Haimen, and then at the coastline, he kept thinking in his mind.

He felt as if he had lost a lot of things, he couldn't remember at all, his mind was empty but he couldn't remember anything.

Touching the pole of the Dingyuan, the battleship under his feet seemed to be an old friend for many years. He was very familiar with every position and every function.

He couldn't remember why he came here.

Can't remember why it's here.

I only know that there is always a hope in my mind, looking forward to which General Li Chu, looking forward to and hoping to fight under General Li Chu all the time, and to be loyal to General Li Chu forever, this feeling is very urgent. The closer he was to the coastline, the more excited he was. He would see General Li Chu soon.

He didn't remember why he had such thoughts about this General Li Chu, he only knew that this General Li Chu would help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.

What is the long-cherished wish?
Although he can't remember the past, there is one thing he will never forget.

It was a scene.

It was a heavily damaged and burning battleship, and the battleship was listed.

All the officers and soldiers on the battleship share the same hatred.

The fire is burning, the battleship is sprinting, vowing to die with the lower ship.

At the end of the picture, there is a flag like a plaster...

Every time he saw this plaster flag, he was always angry.

Is this my long-cherished wish?

Deng Shichang raised his head, he could already see the mooring harbor on the shore, and saw General Li Chu standing on the harbor to greet him!
Naval Base.

Except for Liu's 30 people defending and maintaining discipline, the other 70 people were called by Li Chu, and they temporarily formed a welcome team at the port to welcome the warship into the port.

Li Chu was waiting in front of the port.

Wang Delin who was standing beside him was stunned.

What did he see?
Ship, it's a ship!

Ships are not unusual.

Dingyuan is only 94.5 meters long, which is not too big compared with Fuchuan Guangzhou.

But what about sails?
Where's the sail?

Heck.

Is that a boat?

Why are there no sails, how do they sail on the sea without sails?
And what the hell are those two big chimneys emitting black smoke?

Is this a fire?
Worse, it must be on fire. The fire burned the sails. Where is there no sails? The black smoke is produced by the sails burning.

No, this big ship is about to hit this side.

"General, be careful, hurry up, this ship is on fire, and it's about to hit you."

Wang Delin went to pull Li Chu, but Li Chu shook his hand at him and said, "It's okay, Wang Zhizhi, don't worry, this ship is not on fire, but a major feature of my warship in the East China Sea. You will know it later."

Even though Li Chu explained it, Wang Delin still didn't believe it. Isn't this talking nonsense? Your black smoke has risen so high, how could it not be on fire?
He made up his mind in his heart, waiting for the big ship to hit him, and if something goes wrong, he will immediately carry the general on his back. Nothing will happen to him, and the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is still counting on the general Let's put it down, this is going to happen on his territory, the court and the people have to tear him apart.

The battleship approached.

Wang Delin also saw it more clearly.

His eyes almost popped out.

Iron... iron armor?
How can it be!

What he saw, he was stunned.

armor!

The whole body of this boat is actually covered with a layer of iron armor. He is a man who knows the concept very well. This... this boat is actually wrapped with iron armor. Iron armor, Wang Delin is going crazy, he can't believe it s eyes.

What is the concept of iron armor?
Not to mention anything else, just say such a large piece of iron armor, how to break it out?
It's not that no one thought of installing a layer of iron sheet on the surface of the ship for protection before, but there was no way at all. First of all, the problem of building, how to build such a large piece of iron armor?

Even if the iron armor comes out, how do you stitch it together?

Such a large ship cannot be completely covered by a piece of iron armor. It must be divided into multiple pieces and then spliced ​​together.

Iron stitching?
No one has ever made it.

It is precisely because of these things that iron armor and iron skin have always been a fantasy in his mind. When would he think that one day, an iron armored ship would appear in front of his eyes in the scene of YY?
Li Chu took out several flags of different colors from the side, stood on the side of the port, held up the signal flag and waved it to the ship to make various semaphore.

The semaphore and flag are presented by the system.

At the same time as the Dingyuan number was drawn, the system also gave Li Chu a set of semaphore usage guide.

He waved the flag, guiding these warships to enter the port one by one, and docked in different areas.

When it got closer, Wang Delin could clearly see the true appearance of the iron-clad ship.

on fire?
Where is the fire.

There are two big chimneys that emit black smoke.

The shape of this iron-clad ship is really strange. It is completely different from ordinary ships. It is not like Fuchuan or Cantonese. He has never seen such a ship, let alone heard of any ship that can sail on the sea without sails. of.

He saw clearly that there were really no sails on this iron-clad ship.

He put aside the question of how the ship sailed for a moment, because he saw the Yang Wei.

Not only saw the Yangwei number, but also the SF Express number, Yuantong number, Shentong number, Zhongtong number, and Huitong number entered the port.

Wang Delin: "..."

An ironclad ship can already dominate the world, but what did he see, one, two, three...

When the sixteen sand boats appeared behind, Wang Delin was silent again.

At the same time, the eyes looking at Li Chu were full of horror.

Terrified, very terrified.

What is the background of this Qilin Army, and how can it be so rich?
For an iron-clad ship, the way you build it must be astronomical. You didn't have enough for one ship, but you actually built 23 ships.

As for the Zheng He treasure ship that finally entered the harbor, Wang Delin was no longer amazed.

With Dingyuan and Yangwei in front, he has already received N million critical strikes, and he has already developed a certain degree of immunity to this in his heart.

Although Zheng He's treasure ship was big, much larger than the sand ship, in his eyes it was still a wooden ship after all, without iron armor, that's all.

However, what Wang Delin didn't know was that the five cruisers Dingyuan, Yangwei, and Express were not the iron-clad iron-clad ships he had imagined, but iron-clad ships made of steel in the true sense!
Battleship returns!

As before, when these warships are transported, the system will send some people to help them drive over.

After sending them over, these crew members went to the East China Sea in a small wooden boat, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wang Delin: "General, this..."
