"Really hit?" Looking at the huge base in front of him and the replaced turret on the shore, the dwarf envoy asked the official who brought him to visit in disbelief.
The faces of the Tang officials were full of smiles, because after all, the shocked dwarf in front of them was a big benefactor who was always ready to pay.
No matter which direction you look at it, the dwarves are rich. Although the north where they live is not very suitable for farming, there are definitely not many mineral deposits.
Nowadays, these metals and fuel mineral deposits are very valuable, because whatever the Tang Dynasty lacks, anything will become very, very valuable.
There is no way. On the one hand, the exporting countries of these raw materials want to balance their trade deficit with Tang State. On the other hand, it is also because Tang State needs too many raw materials.
In the past, the iron a country needed was only a few thousand tons, tens of thousands tons, or at most a hundred thousand tons, but now the scale of iron consumption in the Tang State has reached the terrifying level of tens of millions of tons.
It doesn’t look like we are using iron at all, it’s as if there is a super giant monster eating iron! With such a huge demand, how can it be possible to prevent the price of steel from increasing?
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" The accompanying official looked at the dwarf envoy, pointed at a group of engineers measuring data in the distance, and said: "A 320mm caliber main gun shell of a Cyric battleship, at about
Hit five kilometers away."
"Didn't it penetrate?" The dwarf envoy took a few steps forward, stared at the scary-looking scar, and subconsciously asked again.
"There is no breakdown!" The envoy accompanying him laughed loudly, and took the special envoy a little further forward until he had a closer look. Then he continued to ask: "How is it? Did the special envoy see clearly?
?”
"Look, I see clearly." The dwarf envoy finally understood why such a battleship consumes so much steel.
This is simply a solid lump of iron! Such a thick armor plate and such a terrifying cannon, when paired together, are simply synonymous with destruction.
He couldn't even think of anything that could completely destroy this terrifying steel monster in front of him.
"Do you know why Datang Group's weapons are so expensive? They are real materials! Every detail is a matter of conscience where you can't see it." The official proudly spread his hands and made a sweeping gesture: "You are very good.
You will soon understand that what we sell is conscience."
That's right, aren't the products you sell all conscientious? An airship is so expensive that it makes people vomit blood. Although the gas used is inert and not easy to explode, the price is really unacceptable.
If your airships hadn't been so expensive, would you have bought Cyric's hydrogen airship to recharge? It turned out to be a good thing, it was like a big cannonball flying in the sky, and it would explode if it got a little spark...
Of course, this kind of complaint is meaningless. Being expensive is not a shortcoming of the product, but a shortcoming of the consumer... As a dwarf envoy, he did not dare to complain at this time.
He just watched intently, watching the crystallization of industrial technology of Datang Group being stripped away bit by bit of its mysterious veil in front of his eyes.
Along with the explanation, he walked up the gangway step by step and saw the steel armor structure under the wooden floor, the densely packed water-proof cabins, and the complex and precise pipelines.
At the same time, he also saw the complex electrical wiring and pipelines, the sophisticated and complex mechanical computing equipment, the advanced boilers, and the specially prepared fire extinguishing and explosion suppression water injection system inside the ship.
The technicians who explained the functions of these devices explained every detail in every detail. Every time a function was mentioned, Mr. Dwarf Envoy felt amazed.
Really, as a civil servant, he had never thought that a weapon could be so sophisticated and complex, nor had he thought that technology could really determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.
So he was like a fool, touching here and looking there, trying to remember everything in his mind.
But then he realized that all this was in vain. He couldn't remember any detail at all, because there were really too many details here.
He couldn't even understand the principle of rotation of those mechanical calculation devices. When the soldiers of the Tang Army demonstrated the equipment, he stood there blankly, but after a few minutes, he found that he had not remembered anything at all.
Then I stood stupidly in front of a boiler, and my mind was filled with the rotating shafts and gears.
"We have experimented with these cabins, and they can remove the shock wave generated by the explosion." In the slightly dim compartment, technicians explained the reasons for the slight deformation of some cabins.
"What a wonderful design." Mr. Dwarf, the special envoy of the Ice Empire, nodded, and then he couldn't figure out whether the other party was intimidating him or explaining to him the entire process of the Battle of the North Sea.
According to the Tang Army, the Tang Army started the attack at a distance of more than 10 kilometers, and soon achieved the record of sinking a Cyric battleship.
The Mirage Navy had to change its thinking on the decisive battle, and then moved closer to the Tang Army's fleet, thereby losing the initiative.
Then the decisive battle became a one-sided massacre. The Tang Navy used three battleships to fight against the Mirage Navy's four battleships. As a result, they were only hit by one cannon shell at the slight cost of sinking all the enemy ships!
As the most powerful navy in the northern waters of the Endless Sea, the Mirage Navy is completely unmatched by the Ice Empire.
Although the Binghan Empire has money and a vast territory, in fact the Binghan Empire has always focused on the construction of the army and does not pay attention to the development of the navy.
Now, after the Mirage Navy has been completely wiped out, no one in the entire Endless Sea can compete with the Tang Navy anymore. This really sounds like a threat to the ears of the dwarf envoy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How about it? If you are willing to buy it, we can sell the complete production technology of this warship, including drawings, and even improve it and redesign it for you.
A more advanced and powerful model." The Tang official who was visiting with the dwarf envoy suggested seriously.
"Although it is a bit expensive, it can at least ensure the safety of the Ice Empire's routes in the northern seas. It is safe. Spending more money for safety is worth it no matter what." He talked eloquently, letting those who were following him
The dwarf was very excited.
It is a pity that if this sale had happened a few months ago, as the dwarf envoy, he would still have considered whether he could spend money to buy it and build a navy fleet belonging to the dwarves themselves.
But now he has no choice: the order given to him by the Emperor Binghan I of the Ice Empire is to purchase aircraft technology, which is a top priority for the Ice Empire, which is eager to build a continental army.
After all, facts have proven that as long as the aircraft technology is understood thoroughly, the coastline can be protected by aircraft - this is the best choice for many continental countries.
As for building a powerful navy, they are actually not very interested in it: unless this kind of thing can bring them benefits, they will consider spending less money to try it.
Land is the basic foundation for these countries: as for those countries that once attached great importance to their navy, they were actually wiped out by the Tang army. This is no one’s fault but Tang Mo’s cruelty.
The Kingdom of Talon was a powerful naval power back then, but now it has been annexed by Dorne and disappeared without a trace. The Kingdom of Poplar was also a powerful naval power, but it has obviously been unable to keep up with the pace of development in recent years.
As for Mirage, which attaches great importance to the development of its navy, it has purchased so many warships from Cyric over the years, but now it has completely overturned in the First World War in the North Sea and has basically withdrawn from the ranks of naval powers.
Therefore, it was actually very embarrassing for Tang Mo to launch the battleship for sale at this time. Those who were interested were either killed or disabled, and the rest were a bunch of ignorant people.
"We accept the reservation, Mr. Special Envoy, you can pay with steel, cobalt ore, and nickel ore, the price is very favorable." The officials of Tang State were very serious about promoting their products.
But the dwarf envoy smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said regretfully: "Sir, I think even nickel ore is no longer affordable for us. We must now work hard to produce these ores so that we can pay you for the aircraft technology."
"That's such a pity." Tang officials were somewhat reluctant to let go of such a big deal, but there really wasn't any good solution.
Who makes Tang's aircraft technology so expensive: How many countries can afford such a large sum of money for a country's 100 million gold coins?
In the end, why not use various materials to pay off the debt? Iron ore, copper ore, cobalt ore, nickel ore, oil, etc...
These countries even use some industrial products to offset costs: such as cars produced in these countries and some cheap industrial machinery and equipment.
Although Tang Guo can produce all industrial machinery, it obviously has some emphasis on the production process. For those low-end equipment that are not in a hurry to use, Tang Mo does not mind directly importing some for use.
In short, in order to improve the technological level of the Tang State, Tang Mo is frantically absorbing nutrients from every corner of the world. He greedily absorbs everything, allowing the Tang State to keep galloping forward.
"It's no pity. You have already made back tenfold and a hundredfold in aircraft technology." The dwarf sighed with emotion and continued to move forward.
The more than 100-meter-long internal space inside the Dongwan-class battleship is enough for him to walk for a long, long time.
He just walked step by step, feeling the power of the Tang Dynasty's military power. He asked himself over and over again in his mind, when he was in Bunas, he knew that the Tang Group could not be offended, but why no one listened to his words
Woolen cloth?
Neither his emperor nor his friends believed a word of his words.

My back pain is still very severe today. I persisted and could only write two chapters in one day. The update is temporarily postponed. I'm sorry.
