On the way back to [Nanhai City], Liu Xuan asked in detail about some detailed parameters of the level 7 battleships and the power of the crossbows.
According to [Zhou Hai]'s design, the volume of a level 7 battleship is nearly double that of a level 6 battleship. It is nearly a hundred meters long, and the main guns at the bow and stern have also been improved. The range and power have been increased by about 30%, but the most important thing is that the number of ballistae at both ends has been increased from one to two. The power of the repeating crossbows on both sides of the ship has also been greatly enhanced.
One such giant ship is enough to match the combat power of four level 6 battleships. But the high cost was enough to deter Liu Xuan.
Moreover, [New Port Island] has been recovered, and there is no need to use this giant battleship in a short period of time.
"I think the level 6 battleships we currently have are enough. There is no need to rush to build such a big ship for the time being." Zhuge Ling said softly.
At this time, she and Liu Xuan were standing on the deck hand in hand, looking at the scenery in the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her beautiful face, making her look extraordinarily sacred and beautiful.
"Well, let Zhou Hai study slowly first. Who do you think is more suitable to lead the westward expedition?"
Now, in addition to the 80,000 troops that are regularly used for defense, they have been able to free up an additional 40,000 troops to prepare for westward development near [Nichinan County]. At the same time, they also prepared for their westward march to Sichuan.
Originally, Liu Xuan wanted to lead the team by himself, but now all the major guilds are watching his movements. If he suddenly disappears from public view, other guilds will definitely be alert, which will be detrimental to their development.
Especially the two major guilds [Women] and [Kings].
Once they realize that [Hongchen] has the intention to move westward, they will definitely stop it.
"Of course it's brother [Sima]. Apart from me, you and Nan Nan, he is the only one in the entire guild who can convince everyone."
Liu Xuan nodded: "Then let him take [Little Loli], [Wanzhang Hongchen], and [Wushuang General] there.
We must also speed up and capture the four counties in the east. "
After the version update, due to the pressure brought by the alien army, it was difficult for the major guilds to free up their hands to engage in internal fighting and they were all struggling to develop.
At present, the power rankings have also undergone considerable changes.
First place: Kyushu: 3190150
Second place: Mad God: 3009853
Third place: Hongchen: 2986558
Fourth place: Fengyun Pavilion: 2715623
Fifth place: Confident in the world: 2571563
Sixth place: Temple of War: 2562589
Seventh place: King: 2151111
Ninth place: Women: 1935699
After winning [New Port Island], Hongchen's power value has ranked third, only a little behind the second-placed Mad God.
If this westward expansion plan goes well, their power will soar.
After the group returned to [Nanhai City], the battle damage compensation promised by [The King] had also been delivered.
However, this time they did not use cash or gold coins, but directly used materials to offset it.
[Jiang Feng] saw Liu Xuan coming ashore and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "Great God Liaoyuan, our President Tenglong estimates that you will definitely need to build a new fleet, so let us directly use these high-end materials for shipbuilding. All are sent to you as compensation.
Of course, if you want to exchange it for cash or other equipment materials, I can also arrange for someone to send it to you again. "
Liu Xuan smiled and patted his shoulder.
"We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so reserved. President Tenglong asked you to send these over. Could it be that he wants to buy a boat from us?"
[Jiang Feng] was immediately flattered and said: "Lord Liao Yuan, you are still amazing, you can hit the mark with just one guess."
"Didn't you rescue those two warships last night?"
"Hehe, we snatched one back and it's still being repaired in the port." [Jiang Feng] said with a smile.
"If that's the case, why do you still want to buy a boat?" Liu Xuan asked strangely.
"The foundation of your guild is in Bashu, and these ships can't be driven there. We have also taken over the troll naval base. Now that you have so many ships, you can not only park them in the port to look at them, but also use them to do things. Well?"
[Jiang Feng] sighed softly upon hearing this.
"Since you asked about it, Lord Liaoyuan, I won't hide it from you.
You must be able to tell that [Women] and we are the weakest among the eight guilds. [Proud of the World] has now begun to send people into Bashu territory, and [Fengyun Pavilion] is also very likely to get involved. The situation in Bashu will soon be in chaos.
We have to prepare an escape route here in advance. "
Liu Xuan's expression couldn't help but become cautious after hearing this.
"I see, how many ships are you planning to order?"
"[Chairman Tenglong] means to get 5 ships first and add more later if necessary. As for the price, you two can just discuss it. I am only responsible for running the errands."
Liu Xuan nodded, this guy actually knows how to behave better than the previous [Meng Qi].
Not long after, there was a call from [Tenglong Enters the Sea]. After a while of arguing, the two finally set the price of the level 6 warship at 7 million gold coins. If the other party provides the materials themselves, Hongchen will only charge 1 million gold coins for the crafting fee.
This price can be said to be quite fair, after all, no one can build a level 6 battleship at present.
[Zhan Wuji] After learning the news, he quickly came over to place an order. For his uncle Liu Xuan, he was much more generous, charging only 100,000 yuan for the OEM fee.
[Crazy Thirteenth Young Master], who also received the news, now had a gloomy look on his face.
Jizhou where their [Crazy God] Guild is located is also close to the sea, but they were not in a hurry to develop towards the coastline at the beginning. Instead, he chose to take things step by step.
Now that the opponent's navy has developed so rapidly, he has to change his original plan.
Otherwise, when the navies of the surrounding countries develop, it will be difficult for them to monopolize the territory of the two states.
"Aaron, starting tomorrow, you will lead 30,000 people to expand eastward and build a port as soon as possible."
"It's the young master." [Crazy Dragon] replied still expressionless.
"But we don't have the blueprints of high-end warships on hand. After building the port, do we have to buy a ship from [Hongchen]?"
“Hmph, there are alien fleets in that quiet place in Jiaozhou, so there must be some nearby here too.
When the time comes to get him, won't there be drawings? "[Crazy Thirteenth Young Master] said with confidence.
In fact, he knew very well that even if he wanted to buy it, Liu Xuan would not be able to sell them a high-end ship. So he didn't humiliate himself by asking.
"Hmph, I'll let you be proud for a few days first, and you'll be able to look good later."
In the evening, as soon as they returned home, the Zhao sisters warmly welcomed them.
After everyone chatted and played in the living room for a while, Liu Xuan pretended to ask them about [Tang Qingmei]'s situation there.
