"Iron Armored Warship? Looking for a New World?"

Zheng Chiyuan stood up suddenly, and for a moment he didn't know which one should be asked first.

Forced himself to calm down, and then asked first: "Sir, what is an armored warship?"

"It's a warship made of iron armor..."

Jin Feng took out a picture of the armored ship and explained the armored ship to Zheng Chiyuan.

Zheng Chiyuan didn't know how to build ships, and now he had a blind admiration for Jin Feng, so he didn't doubt whether Jin Feng could build an iron-armored ship. Instead, he had already begun to look forward to it.

In Zheng Chiyuan's view, the newly built Zhenyuan No. 3 was enough to shock. He really couldn't imagine what a ship made of iron armor would look like?

In this era, naval battles are often direct collisions with ships, and whoever has a strong ship can win.

Who can beat the warship made of iron armor and then installed with a steam engine?

Thinking of the armored ship rushing around the sea and smashing the pirate ship into pieces, Zheng Chiyuan felt his heart beating faster.

Then he remembered that Jin Feng had just said that the iron armored ship was built to sail to the sea and find a new continent.

Zheng Chiyuan's heartbeat was even faster.

But he also had the same concerns as Hong Taoping: "Sir, going to sea and voyage is completely different from being near-shore activities. If the New World is really the same as you said, far away from thousands of miles away, then it will be very, very difficult to find the New World!

For example, freshwater that can be seen everywhere on land is very precious at sea. Especially if you want to sail thousands of miles, what will happen on the road and how many days it will take. No one knows if the water brought on the boat is used up.

No new supplies were found, and everyone would be very dangerous!

In addition to water, there is also food, coal that drives the steam engine, and other materials, which are also very important!

Sir, the matter of voyage is not that simple, you must think twice!”

After saying that, Zheng Chiyuan looked at Jin Feng with some concern.

In fact, before speaking, Zheng Chiyuan struggled deep in his heart, fearing that these words would offend Jin Feng and make Jin Feng angry.

But he was even more worried that Jin Feng did not understand the dangers of long-distance voyages, and he rashly formed a long-distance voyage in impulse, which led to the failure of long-distance voyages and thus destroyed the idea of ​​long-distance voyages.

Coupled with Zheng Chiyuan's understanding of Jin Feng, he felt that Jin Feng would most likely not be angry about this incident, so he mustered up the courage to say those words just now.

But he didn't dare to say too much, but clicked until it was done.

"General Zheng, I know that long-distance voyage is difficult and dangerous, and I also know that starting long-distance voyage is a bit hasty now, but it is really too late to go."

Jin Feng said to Zheng Chiyuan again what he said to Hong Taoping yesterday, and then continued: "That's why I want to make an armored ship, and I want to find General Zheng, you are a experienced sailor!

An iron-armored ship can be said to be an iron can. It is not only much stronger than a wooden boat, but also locks the cabin door and floats up by itself even if it is swept into the water by the waves. It is much safer.

With the compass I made and the charts given to me by the master, as well as the sailors under the general, the possibility of this long voyage success is still very high!"

"Sir, do you have a nautical chart to go to the New World?" Zheng Chiyuan's eyes widened.

In the feudal era, maps can be said to be a strategic resource. Ordinary people are not allowed to draw them at all. Once they are discovered, they are as serious as the crime of hiding armor.

Although escort agencies and businessmen can apply to draw a carry map, they can only carry a simple map of fixed routes.

As for the detailed map, it can only be used in military affairs.

However, due to the limited surveying and mapping conditions and the concept of scale is relatively vague, military maps are often very simple, so they can only mark some more important military positions, and often label inaccurately, so they can only have an approximate orientation and distance.

Even so, maps are still very important.

Especially when sailing at sea, maps are more important.

Marching on the land, and there are also rivers, mountains and villages as reference objects, and you can also find local people as guides.

But at sea, sometimes I can’t see land after sailing for ten days or half a month. Looking around, it’s full of vast sea water, and I can only use the sun, moon and stars as reference objects.

However, the sun, moon and stars will slowly move with the rotation of the earth. At the beginning, experienced sailors may be able to distinguish the direction, but over time, they will easily go astray.

It’s like walking with your eyes blindfolded. At the beginning, you can walk straight lines, but when you go far, you will basically walk in a slant or even circle.

At this time, the compass invented by Jin Feng was used. If it was equipped with Shanghai maps and armored ships, the success rate of long-distance voyages would indeed be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chiyuan looked at Jin Feng with a fiery look, hoping that he would take out the drawing.

Jin Feng didn't keep it a secret anymore, took out the world map that had been prepared and spread it on the desktop.

"This place is our Dakang, this point is where the dock is located. This is the country where the Japanese pirates are located. The new continent we are looking for is here..."

Jin Feng pointed to the map and explained to Zheng Chiyuan the location of South America.

Realizing that Zheng Chiyuan had not answered the conversation, Jin Feng looked up.

At this time, Jin Feng realized that Zheng Chiyuan seemed to have seen a rare treasure, staring at the map with both eyes, with incredible eyes and extremely focused eyes, as if he wanted to remember the map into his mind.

"General Zheng, this map is a bit complicated. I'll give you one later and you can take it back and study it slowly."

Jin Feng said with a smile. Read the book

"Sir, are you willing to give me such a precious chart?" Zheng Chiyuan came back to his senses, but his eyes were wide open.

In Zheng Chiyuan's mind, this chart is invaluable.

The same is true.

This map should be the first world map in the world, and it is the world map that Jin Feng has been constantly improving over the past year.

Although it is not as accurate as the maps of the previous life, several continents and oceans, as well as important geographical coordinates, are marked on the map.

Any ambitious monarch or powerful man who sees this map will probably go crazy and pay a high price for it.

So Zheng Chiyuan was so disobedient just now, and wanted to remember the content of the map greedily.

He didn't expect that Jin Feng would take the initiative to give the map to him!

Thinking of this, Zheng Chiyuan suddenly became shocked, thinking that Jin Feng had noticed his abnormal behavior just now, and was now hitting himself. He quickly looked away and bowed and said, "Sir, Zheng knew he was wrong, and he would never dare to do it again.

!”

"General Zheng, why are you here again?"

Jin Feng pulled Zheng Chiyuan up laughed and cried: "I didn't say anything, this map can indeed be given to you!"
