Magic Underachiever

Although the location where the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform washed ashore was still some distance from the stands, it still caused quite a bit of chaos. People were panicking and speculating, what happened to the ship? Could it be that this new technology has major flaws?

At this time, Roux had stood up regardless of his appearance.

Just now, he already felt that he had lost this order from the Imperial Navy. The Sailfish-class light frigate is already the limit of this type of warship design. It is perfect and impeccable, but it encounters the Turtle-class with a brand-new power system.

The Sailfish class has fallen behind.

At this time, the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform suddenly "lost control", allowing Roux to see the Imperial Navy order flying back into his hands.

"Did you see it? An engine with a completely new concept is not so easy to manufacture, especially this technology that directly vaporizes seawater. There are many problems in the design and manufacturing process. A small mistake may cause the entire ship to be destroyed. Loss of control of the ship.

The Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform still has a long way to go before it can become a mature warship.

Lord Governor, Lord Marshal... The Sailfish-class light frigate is the battleship you need. Although the Turtle-class has advanced engine technology, the risk is too great.

I suggest..."

At this time, Daliang interrupted Roux: "Mr. Roux, please do not comment prematurely before you see the truth of the matter clearly.

My warship is named Multi-Function Combat Platform instead of Maritime Multi-Function Combat Platform because it can not only sail at sea, but is still a very powerful heavy support combat unit on land.

Marquis, marshal.

Next on display is the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform with the ability to operate on land. As you can see, my warship can not only sail on the sea, but also on rocks, sand, swamps, rivers, lakes, and gentle grasslands.

Of course, when traveling on land, the Turtle class needs to consume its own reserve water, so the maximum cruising range is only 400 kilometers and the speed is 50 kilometers per hour.

Although there is no way to fight deep into the land, it can carry a fully armed mechanized battalion at a time, land at any point on the coastline, and threaten targets within 400 kilometers in depth.

…”

Marshal Hopkin's eyes lit up completely.

The marshal was born in the army, and the Fromink Empire was a continental army. At its peak, it could cross the desert of death to fight against the Eastern countries, and poach Marcellus by force.

The Army is the label of the Fromink Empire and the honor of the Empire.

However, the navy... is like a stepmother. Although the emperor attaches great importance to the construction of the naval fleet, Marshal Hopkin felt very uncomfortable when he was appointed as the minister of the navy.

Now, he was told, "the navy can also go to land and capture cities and territories."

The army heart in Marshal Hopkin's navy uniform burned brightly.

He also stood up and looked at the turtle-class multifunctional combat platform on the beach. The land did not stop it. When everyone thought it was malfunctioning, the battleship continued on its course. White mist produced by the steam spurted out from all sides of the rubber skirt, and the engine and propeller roared loudly.

The Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform demonstrates its capabilities on land. The shock of a battleship capable of landing made everyone stand up.

Anyone with a little knowledge of military affairs realizes that when this kind of warship officially enters the navy, no coast in the world will be safe.

It not only brought changes in ship design ideas, but also brought a revolution to the world's naval warfare strategy.

Now... the Fleet of the Vromink Empire will be the first to equip this kind of amphibious warship. The Blackfire Company that designed this warship is located in Saroyan and has close cooperation with the Empire.

The sea power of the world's maritime powers will face a major challenge.

After Marshal Hopkin watched the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform return to the water, he excitedly said to Daliang: "Master Liang, I apologize to you for my ignorance. Your battleship is too powerful... The Imperial Navy decided this time For the warships purchased, only the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform from Blackfire Company was selected.

You can make an offer. If the price is right, the Imperial Navy can purchase additional warships. In addition, I think the Army will also be interested in the Turtle class, and I will introduce it to my colleagues. "

Although there were some twists and turns in the Imperial Navy's warship procurement this time, the result was still as Daliang expected. The advantages of the hovercraft at this level are really great, and the alchemy technology provided by the Great Tomb has allowed the original flaws of the hovercraft to be perfectly solved.

With orders from the Imperial Navy, Blackfire Shipyard can train its own shipwrights and ship designers.

Daliang quoted: "The initial model of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform, which is a bare boat, costs 170,000 gold pounds each. If you buy it back, you can install weapons and equipment according to your needs...

Blackfire Shipyard can also specially design weapons deployment plans for space utilization based on the indicators given by the Imperial Navy and the weapons and equipment provided. The price of the customized ship is subject to discussion, but the total cost should not exceed 250,000 gold pounds. "

Marshal Hopkins couldn't believe his ears. 170,000 gold pounds for a Turtle-class ship! The price is only one-fourth of the Swordfish-class light frigate. Although the initial model of the Turtle-class ship is a bare ship, the weapons produced by the Empire itself can cost a few dollars, which is simply a bargain.

Even if it is a custom-made model of 250,000 gold pounds, it is far lower than the regular light frigate.

This is a warship that can land, how can it be sold so cheaply?

Marshal Hopkins felt that his ears might have heard it wrong: "Master Liang. Is it really 170,000 gold pounds for a Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform? You should know... the Swordfish-class light frigate of the Lux Shipyard is 670,000 gold pounds."

Hearing Marshal Hopkins muttering his name, Lux, who was standing there, couldn't help but shiver.

Today, Lux has experienced great sorrow and joy, ups and downs, and now the dust has settled, and the result makes his identity seem to be hollowed out. He knew that Lux was about to face a cold winter, and wondered if it could survive it...

Da Liang smiled and said, "Yes, it's 170,000 gold pounds per ship. The most valuable part of this ship is its underlying engine assembly, which accounts for 80% of the cost of the entire ship.

The hull part is not valuable. It does not need to be launched into the water, and can be directly welded on land with steel plates. After it is built, it can be driven to the sea...

The engine and power assembly parts can be sold separately, not only for maintenance, but also for making some other types of hovercraft by yourself.

Marshal, how many Turtle-class ships do you plan to buy?"

"300 Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platforms, and then purchase an additional 400 sets of engine assemblies..."
