Chapter 156 Western Battleship
"Mr. Chen, please!" Andre made a gesture of invitation and gave way to the boat behind him.

Chen Kun's eyes narrowed slightly. The foreigner's ship is also a sailing ship at the moment, but it is still a bit different compared to Nan Chen's ship. In comparison, these foreigner's ships are larger. The captain's visual inspection is more than 20 meters, not to mention the height , Moreover, it also has the characteristics of the medieval western ship in the TV, with two pointed ends and a little concave in the middle.

"This ship is the 'Battle', which is the most proud ship I have in hand. It is even better than the 'Prince' before His Royal Highness William." Seeing that Chen Kun seemed very interested in this ship , Andre happily introduced it.

Chen Kun is naturally not clear about Andre's comparison, and he doesn't know the Prince, even if he does, he doesn't know how this kind of ship is better or worse!After all, he is not a boatman.

So Chen Kun just nodded casually and boarded the boat.Chen Kun's expression was undoubtedly a blow to Andre, so Andre's eyes showed a hint of contempt intentionally or unintentionally, but soon changed to a smile and chased after him.

"We will take a boat to the northeast of the island, and then meet Jones!" After boarding the boat, Andre gave Chen Kun a rough outline of their itinerary.

Chen Kun nodded, and then said in a rare way, "What do you usually rely on to provide power for your ships?"

Chen Kun originally wanted to ask the steam engine directly, but because he was afraid of giving the other party a hint, Chen Kun simply asked this question in a cryptic manner.

Andre was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Our ships are usually powered by sails, or they are manually paddled. Does Mr. Chen know nothing about this?"

"That's not true. The main reason is that I recently thought of a novel idea. I don't know if it can provide power, so I want to see if there is anything you can learn from your technology." Chen Kun said lightly, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Really? I don't know what motivation you are talking about. Can you tell me so that I can make suggestions?" Andre immediately became interested after hearing Chen Kun's words, and hurriedly asked.

But Chen Kun's smile was even stronger, and he was still secretly happy. What he wanted was this result, but he said, "I am just an idea, and the value of this idea must be very clear to the chief mate!"

Andre's face twitched, and he didn't immediately refute. Chen Kun's words were rather cryptic, but he was not stupid, so he could understand the meaning.

For a maritime empire like theirs that dominates the sea and grows itself by plundering resources, a new and more efficient power is definitely a heavy weapon.

"By the way, can I take a look at your artillery?" Chen Kun didn't bother to care about Andre's expression. Now he needs to be as unscrupulous as possible without making basic mistakes.

"Of course!" Andre readily agreed.

They had already lost a bit in musketry, so Andre could only find a way to win in other areas. It can be said that muskets and cannons have always been their invincible weapons at sea. Even though muskets have lost, cannons may not be.

The structure of the Combat Horn is relatively simple, perhaps just like its name, it is really made for combat, its appearance is simple, but its speed is very fast, as for the interior, it is a common upper and lower structure, with a deck on the top and a duplex The attic room is also messy below. It is the place where sailors live, and further down is the place where the fixed fort and gunpowder are stored.

When Chen Kun came here, he covered his nose. After all, this kind of dark and humid place, even sometimes sailors excrete right below, so the smell is really not good.

Andre was naturally immune to this, so he walked over and introduced to Chen Kun, "This artillery is the most powerful artillery we have so far. Not only is it much smaller in diameter, but its range has also been improved a lot, not to mention its lethality. .”

Chen Kun curled his lips, he was noncommittal on this topic, after all, he didn't know what the old artillery looked like. Speaking of which, in the fights on TV, didn't the artillery always shoot a shell, and then the shell rolled far away, and fell down when it hit someone that kind?There is no lethality at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Kun remembered that he had been patronized by General Chen's artillery shortly after he traveled through time, and the artillery shells inside would explode, not only that, but he was also injured by the explosion!So, there are still many things in this time and space that are different from before!

Seemingly seeing the doubts under Chen Kun's furrowed brows, Andre specially asked someone to prepare a fire, then called Chen Kun over, and fired a shot tentatively.

Just hearing a "bang", about a hundred meters away, a huge wave rose into the sky, forming a puddle with a diameter of about four or five meters.

This made Chen Kun even more terrified. When Old General Chen attacked the White Lotus Sect cottage, he first sent troops to surround him, and then retreated slowly to show off his cannons. Moreover, the voice was so real at that time that the cannons were not far away from him. Very far.

Chen Kun made a guess in his heart. He had never seen Old General Chen's cannon, but at the moment, at least in terms of range and lethality, he lost. He didn't see that he and the saint were still in the cannon. escaped?
So Chen Kun wiped the sweat off his forehead again. Fortunately, this group of people hadn't set foot on Nan Chen's land yet, and William and the others were directly restrained, so they had never seen Nan Chen's true strength.Otherwise, with this group of goods, they would definitely dare to rush into Nanchen to burn, kill, loot and torture.

This made Chen Kun even more troubled. Even if he could fulfill William's conditions during this trip to Weizhou, William also gave him the blueprints, but the development level of Daliang and Nan Chen is really worrying!Moreover, I have already appointed the main beam who is slightly behind in economic level...

"How is it?" Andre didn't notice Chen Kun's absent-mindedness, but thought that he was making an assessment of his artillery, and he was not sure that his artillery would not be any worse.

Chen Kun's thinking was interrupted by this sound, so he had to withdraw his mind, but his face remained calm. After all, at this time, he couldn't show a trace of panic, and then he said, "It's okay, it's just that I don't know how accurate you are, Moreover, the recoil of the artillery just now seems to be a bit too strong!"

After saying this, Chen Kun turned around and walked out, ignoring Andre's surprised gaze.

Anyway, these cannons are all preset by him, so why care about Andre's demeanor?Do you still expect to praise yourself, and then make others ambitious?
