Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty Third

Wade's report was quickly sent back to the 'Enclave', but the 'Enclave' intelligence department did not report it immediately, but asked its own spies to clarify the matter.

After all, steam battleships haven't appeared in this world for more than a hundred years, so there seems to be no need to make a fuss about it. Therefore, Mr. '007' Wade could only bite the bullet and remodel the dock of the battleship to see what happened.

"Why would anyone want to build a steam battleship? It's useless to build this thing!" Wade used his rest time to go to the dock. He originally thought that this would be a dangerous and exciting secret. Activities, but who knows that there are so many people watching the battleship.

Now the 'Aurora Legion' is still in its infancy, the police department has just been established, and the anti-espionage department has not yet been seen. There are small bulk carriers waiting to be refitted in the dock of the ship repair yard, and many people are pointing at an armored warship that has just installed a turret by the dock.

Florida is close to the sea, and the "Aurora Legion" has seized many large yachts worth tens of millions. In order to accommodate the power of burning coal, a yacht is now stripped of its hull, main engine, and a large hole is dug in the position of the front and rear decks.

From what Wade saw, the yacht had already been covered with 100mm armor plates, and the 200mm thick riveted turret had also been installed, with a thick gun barrel protruding from the turret. In addition, four small turrets were installed on the yacht, using 20mm cannons as defensive weapons.

"If this thing is really launched into the sea, it seems to have some fighting power!" Seeing the real thing, Wade has an intuitive understanding of this modified battleship in his heart. Now the only thing that needs to be determined is its power and the specific launch date.

"Is our battleship usable?" Due to the large number of people who came to watch the scene, Wade asked in the crowd looking for someone who knew the situation.

A worker in a ship repair yard yelled loudly: "Compared with the regular warships a hundred years ago, not to mention the current warships, our remodeled ship is far behind. But its advantage lies in solving the problem. Does the Navy have any problems?

However, we lack welding equipment, the armor plate is riveted, and the keel of the yacht is weak, so this battleship will definitely not be able to withstand strong shelling.

But our opponents are now equipped with armed speedboats, equipped with . We can still fight. "

As soon as he heard "can fight", Wade had to keep up his spirits and continue to ask, "What kind of power does this battleship use? Did we decide to open the fuel inventory to support this small gunboat?"

When asked about the power, the workers in the ship repair yard immediately shouted with joy: "Our fuel inventory can't support the large-scale use of internal combustion engines, but we have made great achievements in transforming steam power!

We are now using a large number of 20-horsepower steam engines to generate electricity and low-pressure boilers for heating. Although the technology is a bit low, it is very practical. Even if there is no coal, but firewood can also be used. Fortunately, Nassau is rich in forestry resources. We have tens of thousands of people cutting down trees recently to ensure that we will not freeze to death in the nuclear winter.

Recently, we are manufacturing high-pressure boilers to provide steam, and we no longer simply use steam engines. It is said that the power on this battleship is a steam turbine with better performance, which was originally used by the Nassau government to generate electricity.

This new system directly increases the power we have now from one hundred horsepower to fifteen hundred horsepower. As long as the technology is stable, our small steamer can improve accordingly, and the speed of the ship can be increased from the current seven or eight knots to about fifteen knots, and the transportation of materials will be faster and more convenient. "

With the end of the world approaching, human beings are facing a great survival crisis, and they are more eager to obtain technological progress. The ship repair yard is now the core factory of the 'Aurora Legion'. There are many people who come here to visit. When everyone hears that the speed of the ship can be doubled, they immediately feel a great sense of joy in their hearts.

"We are taking the path of the industrial revolution all over again.

"

"Thank God, we have coal without oil, and wood without coal. We don't have to be stuck in one place and unable to go anywhere else for the rest of our lives like our ancestors did."

"We'll be able to rule the entire Caribbean, it's not going to get too many nukes, it's going to be our home."

Hearing bursts of cheers from the crowd, Wade didn't take it seriously. He is a white supremacist, and he is very unhappy with a Chinese ruling a group of white people. Seeing so many white people betray his own race, he is simply hated.

"Steam power, then it must be a rigid connection, what a low-level technology! Our 'Enclave' is the future ruler of America, and we still have a large number of oil wells and refineries. As long as we recover, this small battleship Not even a toy."

Wade was disdainful in his heart, but continued to ask with concern on his face: "When will this battleship be launched?"

The question of the launching time obviously confused the workers in the ship repair yard, and the other party hesitated a few times before saying: "It is difficult to launch recently. We have some problems in the manufacture of high-pressure boilers, and the battleship cannot be used for the time being. But I believe all of this It can be resolved."

This time, Wade felt even more contemptuous, "You can't even build a boiler, and you still want to fight the great 'Enclave', it is extremely arrogant. I will report this situation to my superiors immediately and let them know that you are here. It's useless to make a fool of yourself."

After receiving the confirmed news, Wade once again used the encrypted radio to send a message to the 'Enclave'. When they learned that the "Aurora Legion" had really created a steam battleship, the intelligence personnel of the "Enclave" were still extremely surprised.

But when they knew that the 'Aurora Legion' was having trouble making high-pressure boilers due to the lack of suitable welding equipment and skilled workers, the intelligence personnel of the 'Enclave' suddenly laughed, "These idiots don't want to use riveting. Let's make a high-pressure boiler, shall we?

Modern industry is a strict system, and the lack of any link will be a serious shortcoming. High-pressure boilers need to be welded, welded, welded! It will definitely leak with riveting. Hahaha……!"

However, even if the opponent was underestimated, the information was still forwarded to Mr. George, the military advisory group that carried out the harassment mission in Havana.

The fleet commander of the armed speedboat was still hungover. After receiving the information, he pondered for a long time and laughed: "The idiots in Matanzas want to build steam warships? Is there something wrong with them? Using multiple turrets, riveting technology, steam warships Power, rigid connection, you want to fight us at this level? You are a pig!

Since they are so stupid, then I will further educate them and simply get rid of their ridiculous delusions. I'm off to Nassau right away, and I'm going to destroy their shipyards and show them that warships don't just happen by accident. "(To be continued.)
