"Although I can't offend him, he can't do anything to me either!"
Su Chen smiled, and then continued: "The way we get along now is pretty good!"
While speaking, Su Chen shrugged.
"Then this matter..."
Zhang Hu's eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Su Chen smiled cheerfully: "It doesn't matter, there's no need to test it anymore. It's basically impossible to squeeze any more money from him in a short period of time. If you want these three million taels of silver, It’s not that easy to take it out!”
"Now all our energy must be focused on the person who escaped! We must not let him leak what happened in the dock under any circumstances! We must also find a way to get back the technical information on him!"
Su Chen frowned slightly. Although the technical information this person took away was not the most critical part, it still needed to be carefully guarded against!
"Um!"
Zhang Hu nodded: "Sir, do we want to go to the dock to have a look? I heard that the big ship has almost been built, and the cannons on it have also been built. It should be ready for launch now! I just want to Building a second ship, I’m afraid the second ship will be a bit difficult!”
"Um!"
Su Chen smiled: "It's okay to go and have a look, but building other big ships is of little use. What we should do most now is to improve our own strength. One big ship plus twenty small ships, Form our own fleet. If we are far away, we can directly use artillery to bombard us. If we are close, we can use small boats to carry out beheading operations!"
Before speaking, Su Chen gently drew a draft about the battleship group on the paper: "With real big ships, there is no need to build too many. And there is no need to build them too fast. Sometimes a big ship can withstand several battleships." Hundreds of boats!”
"What's more, now we don't lack boats at all, what we lack is troops!"
Su Chen frowned deeply: "What we have to find a way to solve now is the shortage of troops. How is the recruitment process going?"
"Sir, it's pretty good here in Yazhou!"
Zhang Hu took a deep breath, and then said: "Yazhou still prefers conscription. After all, whether it is salary or some benefits, it can meet daily living, housing and transportation, and can also provide some subsidies for the family!"
"But in Danzhou, we encountered some difficulties!"
"Now we have expanded our army to nearly 15,000 people!"
"After three more months of training, they should be able to possess certain combat capabilities!"
"Um!"
When Su Chen heard this, he nodded in agreement: "There is no way, we still have enough time. These troops are enough for us for the time being, and how are the minefields in the west going? Already?"
"It has been buried and is guarded by officers and soldiers. There is absolutely no way for ordinary people to set foot in that place!"
"If someone wants to get involved, we will try to persuade him to return as soon as possible. If he fails to persuade him to return, he will be detained directly!" Zhang Hu's voice was very soft: "Li Daren, although the force is not very good, but these things He is relatively easy to do it, so there shouldn’t be any problems!”
Su Chen glanced at Zhang Hu in front of him speechlessly. He didn't like the strength of Master Li. The two people seemed to be innately incompatible with each other, and they would fight each other every time they met.
But Su Chen was too lazy to care about these messy things: "Okay, since there is nothing to do now, let's go to the dock for a walk!"
"Um!"
Zhang Hu nodded.
The two people walked out of the door and headed towards the dock. The two people were very vigilant along the way. Zhang Hu did not let anyone follow him. After entering the dock, Su Chen finally saw the finished ship.
The finished ship looks like a work of art, although it is not comparable to the ships I saw in later generations! But in today's era, it seems that this is basically the biggest killer weapon.
Sixteen artillery pieces were installed on it!
"grown ups!"
When the chief engineer saw Su Chen's arrival, he couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes and hurriedly saluted Su Chen: "You are finally here. It was my fault in supervising my subordinates, which is why some people defected. Please punish me!" "
"Okay, he hasn't left since he came here. He must have been instigated by others before he entered the dock. Letting him enter the dock is considered a sign that I don't know people. What does it have to do with you!" Su Chenqing He waved his hands gently, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and then continued: "You don't have to take this matter too seriously!"
"Yes, sir!"
The chief engineer took a deep breath and suddenly felt warm in his heart.
"What is the effective range of these artillery pieces?" Su Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at the chief engineer in front of him and asked.
"Lord Qi, the attack range of our artillery is about five miles!" Having said this, the chief engineer still swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "When we were doing the test firing, I was extremely surprised. This If the thing is really sailing on the sea, then other ships will have no chance of getting close!"
"Only five miles?"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
"..."
The excitement in the chief engineer's eyes extinguished at that moment, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't quite understand why Su Chen was still not satisfied. This was already the limit they could reach.
Moreover, don’t underestimate these five miles.
Above the sea, these five miles can literally determine life or death. There is no way other ships can get close!
And once the artillery on this big ship attacks the opposite ship, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
This can be said to be a crushing victory in an absolute sense, but Su Chen didn't seem to be very satisfied.
However, Su Chen didn't say much. Instead, he asked, "How about the accuracy of these artillery pieces?"
Su Chen's voice was very soft, and he asked again.
"grown ups!"
The chief engineer took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his emotions at this moment. Then he said: "This has something to do with the environment on the sea. In a relatively calm place, within a range of five miles, a familiar gunner can achieve 80% accuracy!"
"Well, it's not bad!"
Su Chen nodded slightly: "What if there is a strong wind?"
