Black Dragon Code

"This is the new ship?"

On the new dock on the west coast, Caesar fell to the ground with red flames, frowning and looking at the sea. There was a strangely shaped ship. The ship is moving.

It is said that the shape of this ship is strange because it is equipped with exposed, wheel-like blades on both sides. One part is submerged in the sea and the other part is exposed on the sea. When the sail is set up, two paddle wheels are used to pull the water to provide the ship with forward power.

This is not something Caesar came up with, nor is it a product of the newly established shipbuilding department, but a ship that already exists in Aradia.

Pad steamer.

The person in charge of the shipping department is a wild boar and a human. At this time, the human supervisor is wiping cold sweat, facing the sudden landing, unable to distinguish the joy and anger of the Black Dragon lord, bowing his head trembling with fear.

After waiting for a while, the Boarman supervisor stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is a ship imported from the central Delta Bay and driven by primitive and magical forces."

After the wild boar spoke, the human supervisor felt that the pressure was much less, and then he dared to speak: "...After reverse research and development, we decided to use a single power source, remove the variable speed system on the ship, and remove the steam The furnace power shaft is directly connected to the paddle wheel, and the air intake is changed through several double-structured intake pipes to control the power and ship speed. It’s just..."

Caesar glanced at this person: "Just What?"

"It’s just that such a structure will make the ship dull. In wind and wave environments, the navigation is unstable because the paddle blades are exposed to the water."

He lowered his head deeper. He didn't dare to face the Black Dragon Emperor, but he didn't dare not tell the problem, and he didn't dare to fool the Dragon Lord vaguely, because he knew very well that no matter how he avoided it, the ship would eventually be invested. Experiments, if the concealed problem is discovered again then, he may not even be able to save his life.

Northern people know very well that their evil dragon monarch is different from the usual five-color dragons. The Black Dragon is completely different from those arrogant and carefree five-color dragons. There are some problems that cannot be hidden from Emperor Caesar. .

Since he had already spoken, he decided to clarify the problem all at once: "In addition, the blades of the paddle wheel are also easily damaged. It is not convenient to dock at the dock and it is easy to collide with the ships on both sides. "

"There is also..."

Humans peeked at the wild boar next to them, and said carefully, "If they are attacked, or are entangled by water plants Twist the paddle blades or shafts, the paddle wheels may lose power."

"What about the propeller boat I told you?" Caesar frowned.

If you simply replace the magic core with a steam oven without improving it, the paddle steamer will not only become better, but will become even more unbearable because of the loss of the magical advantage.

The Boar’s supervisor on the side stepped forward and said: “It is still being studied. Various technologies that use steam boilers as power are still immature. There are still many problems to be solved. Steam boilers often have problems and are inefficient. If it’s applied to the propeller you mentioned, we still need to continue experimenting. Your Majesty, we still need time."

The boars don’t speak much, but Caesar doesn’t It won’t be dissatisfied like other dragons. On the contrary, he values ​​this clan very seriously. The prudent nature of boars is a trait that many monsters lack.

Caesar twisted his neck and went to see the steamship sailing on the sea. As the Boarman and Human Chief-In-Charge said, the ship after the change of power is currently unstable. As they spoke, the ship slowly stopped, and the paddle wheels on both sides had stopped moving. It seemed that there was something wrong with the power.

"The shipping department has just been established. This is just the initial stage. Your progress is not slow."

Caesar glanced at the executive who was embarrassed by the ship stalling:" But I hope you can speed it up a bit. This is the top priority."

"You want money, people, and convenience. King's Court will support you. The Red Lotus Goblin Weapon Research Institute and Manticore The material laboratory is not as rich as yours."

The attitude and tone of Black Dragon's speech is not like a dragon, but like a real monarch: "You don’t need to consider the power source, the caster team is The steam furnace is further optimized. After the completion of the product, the existing steam furnace will be replaced. What you have to do is to optimize the adaptation system and the vessel."

After that, Caesar slightly turned his head, Staring at the ship on the sea with vertical eyes, just a moment's work, the ship seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and the ship's body collapsed in many places, swaying crookedly, and tending to sink.

"Is this a boat for fishermen?"

Caesar stopped spiritual energy: "It's too fragile to carry my soldiers."

"Since your abilities are not enough, let’s brainstorm. Later, King's Court will release news, solicit talents and ideas from home and abroad, provide rewards, and shipbuilders who can make better ships, the lowest A reward of ten thousand gold."

Except for the wild boar people, the humans present have red eyes when they hear this. Ten thousand gold is nothing to the empire, but to the individual. It's very exaggerated. Without squandering, this money will ensure that they will have no problems with food and clothing for their entire lives.

The strict laws and high-pressure control of the Black Wing Empire also provide a considerable degree of security. People can enjoy the life brought about by money without being cautiously worried all day long. Danger, this also indirectly increases the temptation caused by this bounty.

Caesar started making gunpowder, steam ovens, and shipbuilding, not for fun. Although he has not seen the most cutting-edge magical products of the current era, such as hanging fortresses and war golems, he expected That is not something that ordinary troops can deal with. Even if the entire Blackwing clan has completed the radiation transformation, I am afraid that it can only do nothing to deal with such a magical army.

Caesar remembers that a few years ago, the deep sea countries in the south tried to land on Aradia. Those Sea Clans were by no means weaker or even stronger than monsters on land, but they were turned into stinky fish and shrimps by Bulo. After a week, he fled back to the sea in despair.

Caesar did not take the initiative to provoke the huge monster in the south, but if he needs to face the Bulo Empire someday in the future, he does not want to end up in the same situation, he still has the necessary strength, otherwise it will only become A persimmon that has no right to speak and is at liberty.

Now these can only be regarded as a budding start, mechanical puppet goblins, orc armored tanks, gray centaur rocket launchers, spontaneous dire wolves, colonized dog monsters, thrusters wyvern... these are what Caesar really hopes for , Is also the path that a mixed empire should take, relying on magical power alone, with the talents of these monsters in the Black Dragon family, can't play at all.
