God-level Great Hunjun System

"Actually, soft sails are widely used in other warships designed by the servant, making them lighter and nimbler. Your Majesty will know later."

Chapter 402 Bernoulli's Principle

After Kui Nianyun said this, Yan Hao had already convinced him.This person is definitely a master-level figure in warship design. In front of him, I really look like a primary school student. I don't know too many things!

With the mentality of asking if he doesn't understand, Yan Hao broke the casserole and asked the end: "But sir, I still have a doubt. How can such a large-scale warship sail when the wind is against the wind? I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it entirely by human power, right?"

Mr. Minghu looked at Yan Hao for a while, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty will not think that sailing ships can only sail when the wind is favorable!"

Yan Hao asked in amazement: "Isn't it?"

Kai Nianyun stopped laughing, began to paint and draw on the paper, and then explained seriously: "Your Majesty, you see, when the wind is against the wind, as long as you adjust the sail to the direction parallel to the wind force and turn the bow sideways, the boat will be fine. It will advance obliquely. As for why the ship still advances in this situation, it is unknown, this is the experience that the sailors have explored for thousands of years."

When Yan Hao saw the picture drawn by Kui Nianyun, he immediately understood: "Damn! Isn't this the Bernoulli principle!"

Now it was Kui Nianyun's turn to be surprised: "What did His Majesty say, what about Bernu?"

Bernoulli's principle is actually the knowledge that Yan Hao came into contact with when he was in high school. Simply put, the place where the gas flow velocity is higher, the pressure is lower, and the place where the gas flow velocity is slower, the pressure is greater.This creates a force from high pressure to low pressure.Textbooks refer to Bernoulli's principle when explaining the principles of aircraft flight.

Of course, Bernoulli's law is only applicable to the lower speed of Mach 0.2 to 0.3. In the case of higher speed, the relationship between air compressibility and lift has to be taken into account. The famous Karmen-Qian Xuesen formula is in this respect Made an outstanding contribution.

Speaking of sailing, this phenomenon that seemed inexplicable to the ancients can be easily understood with the Bernoulli effect.This is the difference between Yan Hao and Kui Nianyun. Yan Hao only knows the principle, but he doesn't know any application. Kui Nianyun knows how to apply it, but he doesn't understand the principle.

Yan Hao shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just thought of something by chance, sir, please continue."

So Mr. Minghu continued to speak: "Of course, it is true that a warship sails much faster with a downwind than a headwind. However, the wind is unpredictable. How can we maintain the driving force of a warship when the wind is weak? It is a problem that has plagued craftsmen for thousands of years. If we can solve this problem, our warships will be one step faster than others, and we will be able to win the absolute initiative in naval battles!"

"For this reason, I was thinking hard. One day I saw clouds and mists in a dream. When I woke up, I came up with such a structure. Please take a look, Your Majesty." A stern oar submerged deep in the water, which can also be seen at the stern of a warship.

"This kind of scull can be stretched out and recovered freely. Its shape imitates the trajectory of fish tail movement. It swings up and down to form a propulsion force, and the propulsion efficiency is much higher than that of common ordinary oars. Stepping on the pedals inside, the boat can supplement the propulsion of the sail through the push of the scull. Even when there is no wind, the speed driven by human power is much higher than the sail speed of ordinary boats!"

Yan Hao was suddenly surprised, this is not an ancient propeller, the difference is that it is driven by human power.Still, the technology is pretty advanced for this day and age.

"Sir, I have no doubts about the speed, load and stability of this big-winged treasure ship, but I just don't know its specific combat capabilities?"

A proud expression appeared on Kui Nianyun's face: "Your Majesty, although Yu is not very talented, this treasure ship is equipped with three artifacts, which can knock out any shooting ship or divine fire ship!"

"One is the Thunderbolt Cannon, which is a kind of trebuchet. This kind of trebuchet has been improved by me and is lighter in weight. Thirty to fifty can be installed on a treasure ship. It is like a thunderbolt from the blue when it is fired. It is a powerful boulder. Hit the enemy warships, and two or three rounds of shelling can sink them into the sea!"

"The second is the winch crossbow. For the invention of this thing, I would like to thank Mr. Lu Ming, the great talent in the military department. After seeing the Fuyuan giant crossbow invented by Mr. Lu Ming, I was deeply inspired and imitated the Fuyuan giant The structure of the crossbow has developed this winch crossbow. Since this giant crossbow is fixed on the warship, its power is several percent greater than that of the Fuyuan giant crossbow!"

"The third is the fire crow. This mechanism is shaped like a crossbow and can launch a rocket. This rocket is like a crow flapping its wings, hence the name. The fire crow is filled with powerful gunpowder, and the sailors shoot the rocket out. After landing on an enemy warship, the explosion of gunpowder can not only kill enemy soldiers, but also cause the ship to catch fire."

"Wonderful!" Yan Hao clapped his hands and said, "With this thing, what kind of fire boat in Qiongzhou is just a child's plaything!"

"Considering such a large warship, once the key parts are damaged, the whole ship may be sunk. Therefore, multiple spare airtight cabins are set up on each big-winged treasure ship to ensure that the ship can survive partial damage. It can sail back to the port. At the same time, the vulnerable parts are also wrapped with iron armor, which enhances the protection ability of the battleship itself."

After Kui Nianyun finally finished introducing the big-winged treasure ship, Yan Hao gasped in amazement, this is indeed an ancient version of an aircraft carrier.

"Kai Qing, if you have any other treasures, show them to me quickly!" The excited Yan Hao even changed his address to Kui Nianyun.

Chapter 403 Treasure Ship Fleet

So next, Kui Nianyun successively introduced three warships to Yan Hao, the Eagle Ship, the Tiger Ship, and the Xiangzhou.

The eagle ship is a fast assault warship with a three-masted soft sail design. All soldiers on the warship are equipped with godfire flying crows and assault throwing spears.When it is close to the enemy, it first shoots from a long distance with the sacred fire and crows. If it cannot destroy the enemy, it waits until it is close to kill the active force of the enemy by throwing spears and crossbows.

The tiger ship is the backbone of the fleet after the tonnage of the big-winged treasure ship. Its whole body is covered with iron skin, and the hull is also equipped with a sharp iron point shaped like a beak. Once this iron point penetrates the body of an enemy warship, Capable of devastating damage, more powerful than a stick, and doesn't take up deck space like a stick.A variety of long-range attack weapons can still be equipped on the tiger ship, and there are attack methods both far and near.

The elephant boat is mainly used for boarding battles. After all, there are no mature firearms in this era. The gunpowder used by the Shenhuo Flying Crow is already the pinnacle of gunpowder weapons. Therefore, it is difficult to completely defeat the local navy by means of long-range attacks. to end the fight.The elephant boat has the strongest defense capability among all warships and is difficult to destroy. It is equipped with landing tools such as ladders and ropes. Once it is close to an enemy warship, it can quickly drop troops.

Since Kui Nianyun designed these warships, he has naturally thought about how these warships will fight together.In general, a Great Wing Ship will usually be equipped with 10-15 Tiger Ships, 20-30 Eagle Ships and 20-30 Elephant Boats, so that each Great Wing Ship will form an independent fighting squad .

During the battle, part of the tiger ships charged at the front of the unit, while the rest guarded the big-winged treasure ships to ensure that the treasure ships could output firepower safely.Eagle ships wandered around the periphery of the squadron, raiding and harassing local warships.The elephant boats are displayed behind and inside the unit, which serve as a part of the cover. Once they need to join the ship, they can be put on top at any time.

Kui Nianyun also designed detailed and complicated tactics for the cooperation between the big wing treasure ship units, which dazzled Yan Hao.

In the end, this Mr. Minghu unfolded the last few blueprints like a treasure: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I have been planning for many years to conquer the Qiongyi and Yizhou states. These few are the detailed marching route planning for your majesty's reference .”

Yan Hao took a look at the map, and it was densely marked with the place names and military strategic points on both sides of the strait, and many feasible marching routes were drawn in various colors.

After Yan Hao watched it, he bowed to Kui Nianyun sincerely: "Mr. is a great talent, I admire him so much!"

"Please, sir, come out of the mountain and make suggestions for me!" Yan Hao held Kui Nianyun's hand tightly and did not let go.Just kidding, although these drawings are important, the people who design them are the greatest wealth!He doesn't just want to fight this war, with Kui Nianyun by his side, he will have another wise man in his hegemony career in the future.

Kui Nianyun smiled and said: "Shanren is naturally grateful for being so valued by His Majesty, and will be at His Majesty's disposal from now on."

"Okay, then I'll make you a Bachelor of LongTuge, and I'll be your behind-the-scenes military adviser!" Yan Hao patted Kui Nianyun on the shoulder, "I know that Mr. is a scholar of heaven and man, but after all, you have enough qualifications. After one or two years, I can logically promote you to be a student of Longtu Pavilion."

Kui Nianyun quickly waved his hands: "Don't dare. Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Meng and Huang Zongxi are both world-class heroes. How can I be in the same class as these two great talents? A bachelor's degree is enough, a bachelor's degree is enough!"

Yan Hao couldn't help smiling, even the arrogant Kui Nianyun sighed to himself when he talked about Wang Meng and Huang Zongxi. It seems that the personalities and talents of these two have been known by scholars all over the world.

Next, the two made tea and sipped tea, discussing major events in the world, and Yan Hao discovered that Kui Nianyun had his own unique insights into politics, economy, and military affairs, and he had the deepest knowledge on maritime affairs. But in his early thirties, why do you know so much about maritime affairs?"

Kui Nianyun said: "Wei Chen was born in the South Seas of Java, so he knows everything about the South Seas. He also went to sea with his father for many years and was robbed by pirates. That's why he knows about fleets, warships, and navy. After my father passed away, I was brought back to the Central Plains by my uncle, and I read all the classics, history and strategies in the villa, masters of war, literature and martial arts, and I am familiar with it by heart."

Kui Nianyun speaks conceitedly, but he does have the capital to be conceited. Because of his own experience, he is able to learn from the past and the present, learn both Chinese and Western, and broaden his horizons. He is indeed a rare talent.

Yan Hao looked out the window, and before he knew it, the night had already fallen, the yard was lit up, and a figure waiting outside could be faintly seen.

Yan Hao and Kui Nianyun walked out of the room side by side, laughing loudly, unable to contain the joy in their hearts: "Wen has Mr. Minghu, Wu has Li Peizhen, my fleet will be invincible!"

Kui Nianyun frowned and said, "Your Majesty wants Li Peizhen to lead the Nanyang Navy?"

"Why, what's wrong? Li Peizhen recommended you to me! I think this person has the heart to serve the country with fists, and he wants to recover the two islands day and night. He is also proficient in the art of war, and he is brave. He should be the leader of the Nanyang Navy. Two choices."

Kui Nianyun shook his head: "General Li Peizhen will be an excellent naval general in the future. But, Your Majesty, is a general who has never been on the battlefield a good general? General Li commanded the Taihu Navy. For more than ten years, he has not fought any wars except to suppress bandits. After a decent water battle, let’s say it’s a battle on the ocean. According to Yiweichen, it’s more appropriate to have an experienced commander to lead the troops.”

Yan Hao thought to himself, at least Li Peizhen is the one who recommended you, and you don't even give him any face.But after thinking about it carefully, what Kui Nianyun said was harsh, but it really made sense.

But where can he find an experienced admiral who is good at fighting?

Yan Hao suddenly thought of someone.

With him around, it shouldn't be a problem to pacify the two islands!

Chapter 404 Zheng Chenggong

Who is this person Yan Hao thought of?Regarding Baodao and naval battles, smart readers must have already guessed the answer.

That's right, he is the King Yanping of Nanming——Zheng Chenggong!

Contrary to the impression of ordinary people, Zheng Chenggong is not only a national hero who regained the treasure island, his achievements and heroism are far more than reflected in this point.

In fact, before defeating the Dutch East India Company and recovering Baodao, Zheng Chenggong was already the main force in the southeast coast against the Qing court.He even led the Northern Expedition and fought all the way to the city of Nanjing, giving the dying Nanming Dynasty a powerful medicine to return to life.It is not an exaggeration to call Zheng Chenggong the mainstay of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the hero of the Anti-Qing Dynasty.

And how did he do it?We must know that when Zheng Chenggong raised his troops, he only owned the two islands of Jinmen and Xiamen, but Zheng Chenggong insisted on not surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and led his troops to sweep across the southeast coast under extremely difficult circumstances. His military talent and firm willpower can be seen.
