The Pirate’s Green Bull Marshal - Chapter 299
The warship slowly entered the port of the G-1 branch base. On both sides were huge warships of the same specifications, under which stood dozens of generals who came to greet them.
The first one should be the base commander here, Lieutenant General Edwin.
It stands to reason that Vidal is only a major general, and there is no need for a lieutenant general to wait in person for his rank.
But who allowed him to have the post of commander of the naval base in Chambord, so the status of the two is actually the same.
In order to show equal respect, Lieutenant General Edwin must come out and meet.
“Unexpectedly, you still know scientific research. Yesterday I heard that you were invited by Dr. Bergapunk. I was actually quite surprised.”
At this time, the warship hadn’t docked yet, Sakarski said to Vidal beside him.
“Well, this, I don’t know if I understand, anyway, the doctor thinks I understand.” Vidal spread his hands and smiled.
“Let’s go, the ship stopped, I am looking forward to the true face of the scientific force!”
The warship stopped and the two walked off the plank. Lieutenant Admiral Vidal and Edwin greeted them briefly and followed Sakaski into the base to visit.
This kind of thing, of course, does not need to be done by the base commander himself. Sakarski is just a brigadier general, and the two are still very familiar with each other.
After coming in, Vidal discovered something different from other G-series branches, such as the semi-mechanized animals that can be seen everywhere, and the various facilities here are also very futuristic, with silver metal plates and electric lights everywhere. .
“Next you go in by yourself, I think the doctor should only want to see you alone.”
Sakarski sent Vidal to the gate of the scientific force to stop.
“When I come out, we will have a good meal.”
“Yes, but just drink sake.”
Vidal was amused when he heard this, patted the opponent on the shoulder, and walked into the building guarded by four marines.
Walking in the corridor inside the building, Vidal has an inexplicable sense of sight, that is, the decoration style here is very similar to the interior of the Hades in Alabastan.
The metal floor, the metal wall, and leather shoes stepping on it will make the sound of stepping on the ground. At this time, on the other side of the corridor, Dr. Vegapunk greeted him.
“Welcome, welcome, you can be regarded as coming. I heard that you were left in Mariejoa before, and I scolded the five old stars.”
The little Begapunk had no inferiority in the face of Vidal, who was three meters high.
“Come on, I have solved the thing you said before to allow warships to sail in the windless zone!”
I saw that Dr. Begapunk did not take him further into the base, but headed towards the outside. Vidal guessed that he was going to show him a sample.
The sample of the warship will naturally be placed on the outside dock.
Sure enough, after following the doctor for a while, he came to a sealed shipyard with a strange-looking warship inside.
It is strange because there are two large chimneys, one long and one short, behind it, which are very conspicuous, and there are huge paddle wheels on both sides. Vidal can basically see its principle at a glance.
Steam boat!
The steam of boiling water drives the paddle wheels on both sides to rotate, so there is indeed no need to rely on wind.
However, he still patiently listened to Begapunk’s exciting introduction, and then raised his own question.
“Then what does it rely on to boil water?”
This question is what he wants to know the most. After all, boiled water depends on how it is boiled.
“Come, I’ll take you to see!”
Dr. Begapunk pulled Vidal onto the warship, and then walked quickly into the cabin. After entering the cabin, the latter saw a lot of metal pipes sticking to the walls on both sides.
Soon, the two came to a huge steel creation.
boiler!
There are many black stones stacked in the attachment.
“That’s it, it’s just coal burning…” Vidal was a little disappointed, thinking that he could see some black technology energy, that’s it.
“Why, aren’t you surprised?”
Begapunk saw that he had introduced the principles and effects of the boiler, but Vidal did not respond at all. He just looked at the boiler calmly and was very surprised.
“Well, how should I put it, it is indeed a genius technology to transform the propelling force of a warship from manpower, natural force to mechanical force, but…”
Vidal touched his chin and hesitated. He wondered if he should say it in advance.
“Just what?”
Begapunk asked curiously. He didn’t get angry at all, but expected Vidal to come up with more interesting ideas.
“I think it’s too much trouble to burn coal. From the navy’s point of view, this will greatly increase our supply costs and labor costs.”
Vidal spoke slowly, sentence by sentence, because he was still thinking about what to say and what not to say, for fear that he would be scornful.
“You see, if this kind of steamship becomes popular in the future, then we will not only have to bring a large amount of coal at any time, but we will also assign some people to burn the coal.”
“The problem is that the frequency that warships need to pass through the windless zone is actually not high, so this type of ship is not suitable for popularizing the whole army. It is only suitable for making a few special ships. This is a little different from my original idea… …”
Begapunk thought about these words and asked: “Then what was your previous thought?”
“I want all warships to have the ability to cross the windless zone at low cost, and even to speed up the speed of warships in normal waters. You must know that our current warships are very large and full of firepower, but their speed is high. But it was very slow, and often had to give up because he couldn’t chase the Shanghai pirate ship.” Vidal sighed helplessly.
“This…” Begapunk frowned.
“Have you ever thought about replacing the troublesome and inefficient energy source with coal for a more efficient energy source?” Vidal already has an idea.
If it is only to strengthen the combat capability of warships, isn’t it just to enhance the strength of the navy? Although the world government also has its own ships, it is far from comparable to the navy in terms of scale.
And to enhance the efficiency of warships, I believe the world government will not object.
“Do you have an idea?” Vegapunk looked up expectantly.
“Well, look at the electricity. Use electricity to turn sea water into steam, and turn the propellers to provide driving force!”
Vidal certainly knows how difficult it is to burn sea water. The warships and aircraft carriers in the previous life were actually burned fresh water.
But who made this one be Begapunk? They are not ordinary scientists, but black scientists!
“Electricity to boil water, a very interesting idea…” Dr. Begapunk muttered to himself with his head down, his brain began to rotate wildly, determining the feasibility of this idea.
There seems to be no problem. He is no stranger to electricity ~www.mtlnovel.com~ At the same time, Vidal is staring at the coal boiler in front of him, because he seems to recognize the identity of this warship in the future.
In the theatrical version of “Adventure at the End of Death”, the special superman-type soft fruit abilities, Gaspardi’s ship with a bounty of 95 million Baileys, the Saloman Snake, a steam warship with black smoke .
Isn’t it the experimental ship in front of you?
So that Gaspardi is an admiral directly under the G-1 branch?
This guy killed all the marines under his command, snatched the first coal-fired steamship handed over to him to manage, and became a pirate.
It can be said to be a complete bastard!
However, for those special warships that the Navy used to pass through the windless zone, although paddle wheels were also rotating on both sides, the chimneys no longer emit black smoke. I think Vegapunk has improved it.
“I just don’t know how old this kid is, and if he’s here now, I can ask Sarkarski if I find time…”
