Chapter 610: A battleship made of steel

"A new warship?" Madeleine said, "do you mean the new warship that entered the water a few days ago? That warship is indeed very good, but it is only flexible in naval combat and can't deal with more than a dozen enemies at the same time."Fiind updated novels at novelhall.comber 2 also said, "yes. If we deliberately let the enemy's fleet enter the port, they will definitely attack all the boats in the port at the moment of the sneak attack and seize the people first. At that time, there will be a traitor making trouble, and most of the warships that can fight in the port will be lost in an instant. Even if our new warships deliberately stop far away from the first round of sneak attacks, it is still difficult to defeat more than a dozen of them."

Robb said, "no, I'm not talking about a low force warship. I'm talking about something new..."

Hearing this, Madeleine's eyes lit up in an instant. "Ah, Mr. Robb, do you have any new invention? You are good at inventing weapons. You must have something good."

The queen couldn't help but feel excited. She had personally seen the Katyusha and mines invented by Robb Smith, which were really excellent weapons. Later, through Robbs micro camera, she had obtained the evidence of the talks between Mondra, the Church of Light, and the abyssal demon. In an instant, she had won the support of the public.

Therefore, the queen was still looking forward to the invention, but she was not as blindly convinced as Madeleine.

Robb said, "it can't be said to be my invention. It should be regarded as my teacher's. It's just that my teacher likes to use the invention on people's livelihood, and I'm good at using it on weapons."

Hearing this, the Queen's eyes lit up. It turned out to be the invention of that crazy man, which must be useful. She couldn't help but ask with excitement, "tell me, what's it?"

Robb said seriously "The fake letter from Big Tang has just arrived at Lost City, and the army to pick up the princess must have to wait for one or two months, because Norma is far away from here. If the army comes too fast, it won't be like this. Let's use these one or two months to make a warship made of steel, and it will become an elephant. No matter how the wild dogs launch a sneak attack, it can make the wild dogs burn with a single slap. "

"A steel warship?" the three people were all confused.

Number 2 couldn't help but ask, "can a ship made of steel float on the surface of the water? Won't it sink?"

Madeleine also said, "how many sails does a steel warship have to have before it can run?"

Robb didn't explain to the two of them. Instead, he turned to the crystal ball and said to the queen, "Your Majesty, you should be familiar with the steam engine."

But it didn't matter. It was right to have doubts. The progress of science was to stagger forward step by step amid countless doubts. If there was no doubt, it was not good for the improvement and development of technology.

Robb smiled and asked, "do you think a ship made of steel will sink?"

"Of course not." the old boatman also smiled. "That's just a wild guess of an outsider. As long as the relationship between buoyancy and gravity is calculated, it won't sink."

"That's good," Robb said, "since you can say that, I'm very confident in my plan. Come on, let me show you a drawing first."

Robb took out a drawing of the "steam ship", which was very simple, similar to a children's sketch. The internal structure was not drawn, but the outline was drawn.

However, for the experienced old boatman, one look at the appearance was enough to understand a lot of things.

He saw the big water wheel in the middle of the ship at a glance.

"Is this the only power source on the ship?" the old boatman said, "from this shape, it is used to pull water. If it spun fast enough, it can pull water back quickly and move the whole ship forward. However, it requires a lot of power. I don't think it can be done by dozens or even hundreds of people. After all, the whole ship is made of steel, which will be very heavy."

"Yes, so it needs a steam engine."

"What?" the old boatman was confused. "What is a steam machine?"

It turned out that the steam engine, which was well-known in Westwind town and Bright Road, hadn't spread to Lost City yet.

Robb shook his hand with a smile and opened a transmission portal. "Let's go inside and go to Westwind Holy city. You are responsible for the design of the ship, and the dwarven craftsmen there will be responsible for providing power."
