Tang Jie listened to Niya's words, he thought for a while, then turned his head to Seya and Barnes and said, "Can you get into the water now?"

Seyya said proudly: "Of course, my sir!"

Barnes, who was standing beside him, was in sharp contrast with Seyah. His old face was a little red and he said hesitantly: "But..."

Tang Jie immediately stared at him with sharp eyes: "But what?"

Barnes smiled embarrassedly and said, "But we haven't thought about it yet. After this thing is in the water, how can the people inside see clearly what is happening outside?? w?w?w?. 8?1    z    w?.?c?om"

Tang Jie was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at the huge "iron coffin". Just as he looked at the "coffin" and thought about it, Saiya's face turned red, and at the same time he showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "My sir, as you can see, this...uh... submarine can be used to go into the water, but if it and the people inside go into the water, they cannot see clearly the situation outside, because it is completely sealed..."

Tang Jie smiled and said, "You really treat it as a coffin to build it!"

He turned his head, looked at Seyah and Barnes, and said, "It doesn't matter, I have a way. Even if you can go into the water, it's useless, first, there is no visitor glass, second, no power system, third, too small in size, too little oxygen, and fourth, no attack firepower, which is equivalent to being able to be viewed as a coffin except diving. Could it be that you can build it and use it as an underwater sightseeing boat?"

The two dwarves were so embarrassed that Seyah wanted to argue, but when he thought that his proud masterpiece was indeed far from it, he squirmed his lips and swallowed them again.

Tang Jie squatted down and stretched out his hand: "Get the drawings and pen."

The more intelligent craftsman next to him immediately went to help Tang Jie get paper and pen, but Seyah Barnes was much faster than them. While glaring at those who wanted to help get paper and pen, the two dwarves whispered and scolded fiercely: "Bastard, do you want to compete with us for this opportunity to flatter you?"

Tang Jie was amused and laughed at the two dwarves who were swearing and rushing back quickly. In his impression, the dwarves were brave and warlike and rebellious, but why did these two dwarves look like this?

Tang Jie took the paper and pen handed over by Barnes and Seyah at the same time. He sat cross-legged on the ground and used a quill to draw patterns on the paper. Although he didn't know how to draw, he could roughly draw the view of the visitor glasses used by the submarine to peek at the water and the water underwater.

Moreover, these two dwarves are experts in craftsman production. He is not. He only needs to propose ideas and ideas, and then let these two dwarves do it. After all, he has specialized in his profession, so he cannot tell them all the data of the submarine he knows nothing about.

Seyah and Barnes looked at the visiting glasses drawn by Tang Jie, and their eyes suddenly shone: "The idea of ​​a genius, my lord, you are definitely the greatest genius in the world! How did you think of the idea of ​​reflecting each other in a right-angle iron pipe through crystals so that people underwater can see the scene on the water?"

Tang Jie smiled and did not respond. Then he drew a rough picture of the propeller and said to the dwarf: "This kind of underwater submarine has no sail power, so it must rely on mechanical force to generate propulsion, and its propeller and rudder must be improved!"

Tang Jie was talking, but suddenly he found that Barnes and Seya, even Niya, Gilgiko and the craftsmen beside him looked at him with an inexplicable look.

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment: "What are you looking at? Is there anything else on my face? Or did I say something wrong just now?"

Seyah and Barnes's faces were flushed with excitement, pointing at the propeller drawn by Tang Jie, and couldn't speak in a pit. Niya slowly murmured in a shocking tone: "The God of Seas... This is enough to change the ocean age!"

Girgiko is not a person who is very proficient in navigation technology, but he can also see how great the birth of propellers is for sailing ships!

This improvement is earth-shaking!

There are two types of sea ships: one is the sailing era of wooden ships, and the other is the propeller era of iron ships. In the long years when wooden sailing ships dominate the world, propellers are an important insight in directly breaking the dominance of sails. It is precisely with the perfect combination of steam engines and propellers that sea ships can escape from the two extremely dependent powers of wind and manpower, so that sea ships have evolved to a new realm of "no need to rely on any external factors, and they are enough to sail to any corner of the world."

Why is the Black Dragon King powerful?

Because it is driven by magic power, although it has sails, it does not rely on sails. Sails are only an auxiliary function for the Black Dragon King. Moreover, its main function is to change into a protective cover covering the entire ship when the opponent's artillery fire is intensively attacking, thereby protecting the entire ship.

It is precisely because the Black Dragon King has got rid of the traditional sail power that it can even start it alone, and it runs freely and is flexible and flexible. The degree and flexibility of any warship are not as good as possible.

If the propeller designed by Tang Jie is successfully installed on the sea ship, it means that all Tang Jie's warships have the strongest maneuverability in naval battles!

What is the naval battle?

6 On the ground, small-scale wars are fighting elite soldiers and powerful generals and tricks, and the formation and morale and supply of large-scale wars.

No matter how big or small the naval battles are, there is only one thing to fight: that is to grab the upper hand and strive for the upper hand! To put it bluntly, it is to compare whose sea ship has stronger flexibility and stronger defense!

In the ocean world, as long as there is no magician on the opponent's sea ship, even if the cannon is not as long as the opponent's range, this is not a big deal, because one side can rely on the strong maneuverability of the sea ship, quickly get closer, and then use the mobility to constantly pull the opponent's side of the ship, and always use the dense cannons on the abdomen to attack the opponent, making the opponent unable to adjust the ship shape and can only face the enemy with the minimum firepower of the ship.

Although the ship cannons are powerful, in the sailing era, the sight of sea cannons has always been extremely low. All cannons hit people rely on dozens or even hundreds of cannons placed on the side of the ship to form dense barrage to carry out destructive attacks on the opponent. If you want to rely on ship cannons to sink your opponent, you will be able to explode.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of naval warfare that Tang Jie's randomly painted propeller has become a great innovation that can change the times.

Gilgiko looked at Tang Jie with a shocked face. He swallowed and said awkwardly: "Sir, to be honest, I have always been suspicious of your desire to rule the entire ocean, but... Now that I see the greatest creative wisdom in the world you have painted, I finally believe... the future ocean world belongs to you!"

Tang Jie looked at the exaggerated reactions of the people around him, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He smiled bitterly in his heart: It's bad, he only cares about how to improve the submarine, but he has made out what should not be available in this world.

Once propellers and iron armor are equipped on their own warships, basically each of their warships is a copycat version of the "Black Dragon King". The number of sailors on the ship will be greatly reduced because they no longer rely on manpower and style. These extra personnel can be distributed to more warships.

Tang Jie's current strength can completely form a fleet of up to twenty warships, but what restricts him is the number of sailors loyal to him and the ports.

If twenty warships are calculated based on the number of sailors full of the entire ship, they will need at least six thousand sailors!

Six thousand sailors, what does this mean?

To support these 4,000 sailors, how many civilians are needed on their own Alcatraz Island to support them?

Nowadays, there are civilians and sailors who fled to Demon Island every day, begging Tang Jie to take them in. Tang Jie's Demon Island has a tendency to have a big population explosion.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Jie proposed to open an island group outside the Demon Island. Once the island chain around the Demon Island is opened, this bottleneck can be solved.

But the birth of the propeller made Tang Jie completely ignore the previous bottleneck. More than a thousand sailors on his hand could be dispersed to various mechanically powered warships due to the diversion, thus doubled the number of warships on his hand!

fleet……

Do I finally have a fleet?

Tang Jie thought, and his heart was in a hurry for a moment.

The fleet on the sea is equivalent to the 6 legions on the ground. Any powerful country must have many legions that can conquer and fight well. Any large-scale battle must be a multi-legion battle. No one can ever rely on a legion to conquer the world and unify all directions.

The same is true at sea. If Tang Jie wants to unify the ocean, he must have his own fleet so that he will not pacify the four directions and is short of his strength because he is not strong enough.

The truth that Gilgiko said just now was not surprised by the shock. In fact, even the pirate king Atos did not do this.

With his powerful force and the invincible strength of the Black Dragon King, Athos made the pirates of the Seven Seas depend on his side and regarded him as king. He himself did not have any powerful fleet, nor did he have any powerful background to support him. This is why when his subordinates collectively betrayed him and put him in a desperate situation, Athos, who was extremely powerful, was immediately defeated and died.

Conquering the ocean is several times more difficult than conquering the sixth place, because the area of ​​the ocean is several times that of the sixth place, and the ocean is naturally unpredictable. It will transform into the most terrifying devil in the world at any time and swallow a powerful fleet in one bite!

It is precisely because of this that the heroes of the human world have been boarding the Shanghai ship one after another and embarking on the road to conquer the ocean.

To conquer the world in advance, you must conquer the ocean first!

This is definitely not a short slogan that only cares about passionateness.

The reason why Tang Jie was determined to be a pirate king who conquered the world in this world is also closely related to the perception of the former world where he is.

In Tang Jie's view, why did his original country once become fat in the eyes of the great powers? Why did his country lead the world for more than two thousand years, but suddenly became the least popular country in the past century?

There is only one reason: this country abandoned the ocean, so she was abandoned by the world!

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He took the world's most powerful fleet to the West. When he visited one country after another with his huge fleet, the kings of these countries were all in fear and trembling in awe.

This is completely different from the effect of visiting countries along the way with powerful legions. Because when taking powerful legions to fight, the food, drink, and defecation of these soldiers must be solved. The marching rate of the sixth place is far less than that of the ocean, and the further the distance the supply line, the further the supply line. Once the supply line is broken, even the invincible iron army will become a slag, and soldiers cannot fight on their empty stomachs!

But the navy is different!

The warships led by Zheng He made the kings of these countries realize that this time he could come with jewelry and friendship, and the next time he could also come with soldiers and war!

The navy has unparalleled maneuver power. It can carry tens of thousands of powerful soldiers to sail from distant countries to any coastal area of ​​another distant country!

As long as it is a country with coastline, any coastal area may be attacked and threatened!

On the 6th ground, no military force can do such a threat, even the cavalry that claims to be the most mobile cannot do it!

The cavalry threatens a region, a battlefield, but the naval warships threaten the whole country! As long as a powerful warship floats on the sea, people in any coastal area of ​​this country will not be able to fall asleep peacefully.

This is also why in the countries before Tang Jie, thousands of soldiers from several British and French warships headed north along the way, but they were so anxious that an ancient country with as many as one million soldiers were even lost!

Why do the British claim to be the "Empire of the Sun"?

Because in the Ocean Age, the naval strength of this empire was even stronger than that of all the countries in the world at that time! This empire could transport its soldiers to any corner of the world, and then put his national flag on any land in the world!

Why are Americans so arrogant?

Because in Tang Jie's world, the number of warships in all countries in the world is not as large as his country!

The American Seventh Fleet was anchored in the Indian Ocean, and Tang Jie's former country did not dare to rush its troops south to recover the treasure island!

This is the deterrent power of a powerful navy!

This is "Whoever can conquer the sea can conquer the world"!!

It is precisely because of this that Tang Jie dreams of having his own fleet and conquering the sea.

In the past, Tang Jie was not strong enough and powerful enough. He could never afford to support a gold-swalking beast like the Navy. But now, Tang Jie has the financial support of the Krenbel family. Not to mention maintaining a fleet, there is no problem even with several fleets!

What's more, Tang Jie now controls the golden route in the Niercia waters, which is a route with a lot of money. Although Tang Jie gave all the merchants' travel expenses to the king of the Principal of Mata, he still has the puppet Butrich.

Butrich is actually a puppet supported by the Krenbel family. He represents not only the interests of Tang Jie, but also the interests of the Krenbel family. Butrich's market share in Sissis is enough to make Tang Jie eat enough alone.

Now that he is at hand, because of the sudden appearance of propellers, he wants people and money. What else can stop him from forming a powerful sea fleet?

Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available!

Niya looked at Tang Jie with a look of worshipping the monarch, and a thought emerged in her mind: "I am witnessing the birth of a sea empire..."
