Chapter 265 Magic and Technology(2/2)
Wu Yan couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Let's do this, Juan Fu, you come and be the magic consultant of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Empire."
Juan Fu subconsciously wanted to refuse: "But..."
However, before he could give his reason, Wu Yan interrupted him and said, "I'll take you to see something. After reading it, you will make a decision."
When he returned to the car, Juan Fu regretted why he had to go out so early today, why did he avoid it after seeing Wu Yan's car, and insisted on judging the charm of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
Why bother to come?
The distance of more than 200 kilometers is not far for Longqi Automobile, which can reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour.
Just to wait for the cavalry guards, the speed of the vehicle was suppressed.
Wu Yan actually didn't want to wait, and he didn't need any guards, but Hua Tong and others disagreed, saying that this was the equipment that His Majesty deserved.
If Wu Yan hadn't insisted, the infantry guards would have followed.
Even so, there were already lined up infantry guards waiting five kilometers outside Tokyo.
By the time the group arrived at their destination, it was already noon.
Wu Yan is not hungry, so he naturally won’t eat first. Unfortunately, Juan Fu is tired, hungry, afraid and worried, but he can only follow Wu Yan.
This is a military base, affiliated to the Royal Navy Pacific Fleet of the Ming Empire.
Li Hongzhang had been waiting anxiously for a long time. If Wu Yan had not been alive, he would have wanted to go to 256 kilometers outside Tokyo to greet Wu Yan.
Regardless of whether this location is in Nanjing City or not, just welcome it.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Stop flattering."
Wu Yan did not give Li Hongzhang the opportunity to talk nonsense, and said directly: "You only have two consequences today. One is to be beheaded and the other is to become my commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy. I understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
Li Hongzhang was frightened, but he still maintained confidence.
While talking, the group had already arrived at the shipyard.
Standing on the high platform and looking at the huge figure in sight, Wu Yan's eyes were also a little amazed.
Not to mention aircraft carriers, he has sat on all the aerospace motherships of SHIELD, but those are all illusory.
However, the aircraft carrier in sight belongs to him in the true sense, the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire.
"Go into the sea."
With Wu Yan's order, thousands of ship workers in the shipyard started to operate happily.
It is 243.8 meters long, 29 meters wide, with a draft of 7 meters, a standard displacement of 19,500 tons, a full load displacement of 22,000 tons, a flight deck of 219.5 meters long and 29 meters wide, a designed speed of 31.5 knots, a maximum range of 8,800 kilometers at 20 knots, and a maximum range of 21,000 kilometers at 10 knots.
The power system consists of six three-cylinder boilers, three steam turbines, and three paddle shafts, with fuel reserves up to 4,700 tons.
The first aircraft carrier of the Ming Empire was launched. Because it was located on the coast of Tokyo, it was fine to go into the sea.
The prototype of this aircraft carrier is referenced by the British Ark Royal, which is also a prototype aircraft carrier known as the modern aircraft carrier. In addition to the lack of an electronic control system, it is similar to that of a modern aircraft carrier in all aspects.
It was beyond Wu Yan's expectation that it could be completed within two years of construction. In addition to the 100% certainty in the beginning of the design, the most important reason is that there are many people and strong forces, with tens of thousands of people running 24 hours a day, and several years a year.
"What a pity."
Wu Yan saw the aircraft carrier successfully entering the sea, but sighed in his heart, because there was not even a single plane in the hangar of the aircraft carrier, and there would be no plane within half a year.
Just building this aircraft carrier made Wu Yan feel very distressed, let alone mass-made aircraft, frigates and destroyers that also need to be manufactured.
But this thing is a card.
For example, Juan Fu, who was standing next to Wu Yan, had a completely stunned expression from the time he saw this aircraft carrier.
The embassy staff he heard in the British Embassy in the morning was repeated in my mind.
"The Ming Empire has established a patent office, saying that light bulbs are their patent technology. If someone in our country uses their patent technology to make light bulbs without paying patent fees, or some other patent technology of the Ming Empire, it is to steal their patent results and they will hold them accountable."
"What else do you say about retaining the power to hold people accountable by force? Hahaha... I don't believe it anymore. The Ming Empire without a navy can really cause trouble for our British Empire? Their army is invincible and it is impossible for them to break through the Eurasian continent all the way."
The Ming Empire did not have a navy?
