Note: For the second update!
Sorry, it's a little late. After finishing the first update, I felt extremely sleepy and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was a little late to write the second update.
I'll try to be earlier tomorrow.
However, I still have to vote for the monthly ticket.
I'll try my best to adjust my schedule.
…
Why did Zhu Qingzhu send an envoy?
Why did the Vulture Palace send an envoy again?
However, he had to put these matters aside first. The most important thing was to pay attention to the progress of the submarine and torpedo.
Yang Dingtian directly landed on Fire Island and entered the secret underground room.
At this moment, the entire underground room was several times bigger than yesterday. It was also divided into several rooms.
It was densely packed with many people.
The walls were also densely filled with various kinds of drawings.
Compared to the drawings Yang Dingtian made yesterday, these drawings were many times more detailed and complicated.
After Yang Dingtian entered, he asked, "How's the progress so far?"
"The submarine is still being designed and perfected. It will be completed very soon. Once it's completed, the first prototype will be manufactured immediately. The relevant materials have already been prepared. The relevant molds and even the cutting of the materials have been completed," said Ling Wu.
"How do you guys solve such a difficult problem of how to launch the torpedo?" Yang Dingtian asked in astonishment.
Ling Wu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Is it very difficult?
Filling the tube with water and then pushing it out fiercely. Is the torpedo pushed out together with it?
The most difficult part is how to activate the crystal at the instant the torpedo is pushed out. "
"Have you solved it?" asked Yang Dingtian.
"Of course," said Ling Wu. "Oh right, will this thing of yours work in the end?"
Sure enough, people had to have something to do. Once they had something to do, they would become confident.
Some time ago, Ling Wu felt that there was a great disparity between her and Yang Dingtian's status. Not only did she not dare to talk about marrying him, but she also did not dare to talk about it.
She even felt inferior in front of Yang Dingtian and did not dare to speak.
But now, she even dared to roll her eyes at Yang Dingtian.
Would the submarine work or not?
In any case, in the history of Earth, submarines were very useless in the first few decades of their birth.
Their legs were short, their firepower was small, their stature was small and so on.
It wasn't until World War II that submarines were able to display their greatest combat power.
The sneak attack of the German submarines caused huge losses to the allies.
But that was it. The submarines still did not change the German navy's passive trend.
After World War II, nuclear submarines and strategic submarines appeared.
This caused the submarine to become extremely heavy, rising to the level of a national weapon.
But strategic nuclear submarines are basically used to destroy countries and scare people.
Did submarines really change the history of the navy on Earth?
Did it change the outcome of the war?
No!
Even in the famous historical naval battles, there were no records of submarines changing the history of the battle and turning defeat into victory.
In terms of the role of submarines in war, they were far inferior to the early battleships and the later aircraft carriers.
However, Yang Dingtian firmly believed that in the Primal Chaos Continent, these submarines could directly change the outcome of the war and turn defeat into victory.
This was because there were anti-submarine weapons on Earth.
In the Primal Chaos Continent, there was none!
They didn't even have the concept of anti-submarine warfare.
On Earth, the early submarines lacked power. Their legs were short, their speed was slow, their materials were ordinary, and their bodies were fragile.
In the Primal Chaos World, Yang Dingtian used the resources of tens of thousands of miles of land, metal materials that far exceeded Earth's, and dozens of experts' mystic flames and heart flames to forge submarines.
The size of the submarines made by Yang Dingtian far exceeded the submarines of Earth's early years.
Their sturdiness, range, and speed far exceeded that of Earth's.
In particular, the Divine Weapons Villa was the one who had the deepest research and application of crystal energy in this world.
After all, they made weapons, so it was inevitable that they would climb a little further on the technology tree.
What exactly was the power of crystals in this world?
It was crystals with powerful energy that formed a crystal array.
Once it was activated, it would cause a huge energy backlash. It could push a ship of hundreds of tons or shoot a huge arrow of hundreds of kilograms out for dozens of miles.
In fact, if Yang Dingtian made an airplane model out of wood and piled up a crystal energy array on its butt, it could also fly into the sky.
However, he really didn't know how to land. Because of the crystal energy, the plane would fall directly.
Moreover, with the Demon Eagle Legion, why would he need a bullsh * t plane?
In short, with the powerful materials and the powerful crystal energy source, Li Yao was able to create the crystal energy source.
This allowed Yang Dingtian's submarines to possess a huge lethality right from the start.
As for the power of torpedoes, it had already been solved in the early years on Earth. There were many kinds of torpedo engines, and all of them were very primitive mechanical power.
However, these weren't things that Yang Dingtian would know.
However, with the crystal energy, he didn't have to worry about torpedoes at all. They could run away with just a push, and they could run very far away.
The only thing he had to worry about was the accuracy.
…
"Oh right, what about the torpedoes?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"We've already made more than ten. We're just waiting for you to experiment with them," Ling Wu said.
Yang Dingtian was startled and said, "So fast?"
"This is fast?" Ling Wu said, "Just make a big iron pipe and stuff it with gunpowder and crystal impact pieces.
After that, install a small crystal energy array on its butt. It's very simple, okay? "
"Let's go and experiment with the torpedoes," Yang Dingtian said.
"How can we experiment without a submarine?" Ling Wu said.
"Just let the Demon Eagle catch it in the air and throw it down," Yang Dingtian said.
…
The northern sea area of Fire Island, within a radius of a few hundred miles, was completely cleared and turned into a top secret sea area.
Kui Ning was personally conducting the experiment this time.
A total of three worn-out merchant ships were used as experimental targets.
"Let's begin," Yang Dingtian ordered.
Immediately, Kui Ning's Demon Eagle, carrying more than ten torpedoes of different specifications, suddenly flew into the sky.
Then, it directly hovered above the sea surface at high speed.
Kui Ning took out a torpedo.
This torpedo was completely built according to Yang Dingtian's blueprint. Therefore, it was no different from the torpedoes on Earth. It was just that there was a special crystal energy array behind the torpedo.
"Release!"
An order was given.
The Demon Eagle hovered in the air.
When the target ship was still more than ten miles away, Kui Ning activated the crystal energy array and then released the torpedo.
In an instant, the crystal energy array behind the torpedo suddenly ejected a red and blue light. This gave Yang Dingtian an illusion that this thing was a missile and not a torpedo.
This tempting thought had just arisen slightly before it was shattered.
It was impossible to use the crystal energy to build the so-called missile. Missiles were too complicated.
Moreover, there was the existence of giant crystal crossbows in this world. Missiles were too easy to destroy.
After the torpedo fell into the water, it first sank slightly. Then, it immediately drilled out. Whoosh! Then, like a fish, it quickly sprinted forward.
Its speed was unexpectedly very fast. It was much faster than Yang Dingtian had imagined.
Yang Dingtian made a quick visual estimate. Its speed was more than a hundred kilometers.
It directly split the waves. A small part of its body was directly exposed above the water surface. It drew a long line of water as it whizzed forward.
At the same time, the more than ten Demon Eagles in the air used special recording jades to record the entire scene.
Yang Dingtian was really stunned. How could this speed be so fast?
The torpedo on earth only reached 100 kilometers per hour in the twentieth century and after the seventies.
This crystal power was really against the natural order.
Almost everyone could see the heaven-defying part of this torpedo. Looking at its fast whistling traces in the water, everyone cheered.
But then, the cheers became lower and lower.
Because the trajectory of the torpedo was getting more and more deviated.
In just a few minutes, the torpedo had sprinted to a stop.
However, the torpedo directly drilled past the target ship and deviated from the target by a few hundred meters.
Yes, it deviated by a few hundred meters.
It seemed to be swimming in a straight line, but in the end, it deviated by a full hundred meters.
The torpedo that deviated from the target rushed forward for more than ten thousand meters before its energy was exhausted. It stopped and plunged directly into the sea.
Immediately, a Demon Vulture Warrior flew up and scooped up the exhausted torpedo.
Yang Dingtian knew that the early accuracy of the torpedo on earth was also very ridiculous. The earliest adjustment tool was the gyroscope in the torpedo.
However, how could Yang Dingtian know how to do such a complicated thing?
Although the materials and power of this world were awesome, the mechanical aspect was a complete mess and almost zero.
This was because this was a fantasy world, not a scientific world.
"Closer, see what distance it can hit the target," Yang Dingtian said.
Then, Kui Ning experimented again.
The second time, the experimental distance was changed to eight miles, which was about four kilometers.
The experiment still failed. The torpedo deviated from the target by more than a hundred meters.
The third time, the experimental distance was five miles.
The experiment also failed. The torpedo deviated from the target by eighty meters.
The fourth time, the experimental distance was three miles.
The experiment also failed. The torpedo deviated from the target by thirty meters.
The fifth time, the experimental distance was two miles.
The experiment also failed. The torpedo deviated from the target by thirteen meters.
The sixth time, the experimental distance was one mile.
The experiment was barely successful. The torpedo grazed the stern of the target ship and then exploded violently.
Although the explosion happened at the stern of the ship, the torpedo weighing nearly a hundred kilograms still blew the wooden target ship to smithereens.
The final result of the experiment was that the attack distance was within one mile. It could barely hit the target.
Heavens, this distance was too dangerous.
After the experiment, everyone present couldn't help but feel dejected.
…
In the basement.
Yang Dingtian said, "I have two points. First, when the torpedo is attacking, it's best not to expose the surface of the water. It's easy to be discovered and destroyed.
Can this be changed in the future? "
"It can be changed, but the speed will be slower," a craftsman said.
"It doesn't matter if the speed is slower, even if it's slower by half, but it must be hidden," Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Yang Dingtian said.
Then, Yang Dingtian said, "The second point is, of course, the problem of accuracy.
The accurate attack distance is only one mile. It's too short. If our submarine and the enemy's fleet are only at this distance, it's too dangerous.
At least, it must be increased to about five miles. "
Suddenly, the craftsmen present were depressed.
Yang Dingtian said, "First, why did the torpedo deviate? First, I think it's a problem with the material itself. The material of the torpedo is not uniform.
Therefore, I suggest that before the torpedo is filled with gunpowder, it floats on the water. If it's stable and doesn't float unevenly, it will pass.
Before the torpedo is filled with gunpowder and crystal, it's a straight iron pipe. It should be in a state of balance. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Of course, there's a more important reason. Because the seawater itself is not static. With the wind and ocean currents, the seawater is fluid.
Therefore, when the torpedo is moving, it will be pushed by the seawater. Therefore, it can't maintain a straight line.
I think it's easier to solve this problem. When the torpedo is launched, we can observe the hydrology and wind direction, and then adjust the torpedo's direction according to the relevant data. "
Everyone nodded.
Suddenly, Song Chunhua said, "But once the war breaks out, the entire sea will boil, and the hydrology will become extremely chaotic and complicated.
Therefore, there's no way to adjust the torpedo before launching. "
Yes, that's right.
When the time comes, the entire sea will explode, and the seawater will be extremely chaotic. At that time, the torpedo will be even more inaccurate.
How troublesome!
Yang Dingtian frowned and said, "Actually, there's a thing that can keep the torpedo moving in a straight line. Even if it's affected by external forces, it can be pulled in the opposite direction from the inside.
This thing is called a gyroscope! "
Yang Dingtian took a piece of paper and a pen, and then desperately tried to recall.
It seemed that the earth had made the simplest gyroscope a long time ago.
Moreover, there were a lot of toy gyroscopes on the market.
When he was in college, there were also pictures of a three-axis gyroscope in physics class.
Yang Dingtian had a very, very rough impression of it, but he couldn't remember the specific details.
Then, Yang Dingtian drew the most primitive three-axis gyroscope on the drawing.
It was more complicated to draw a submarine torpedo, as it was a 2D drawing.
However, a three-axis gyroscope was a 3D drawing. Yang Dingtian's drawing was even more of a mess.
"I can only say that I have a general idea of how this thing works. I will write it all down.
However, I really don't know how to make it and the specific details, "Yang Dingtian said," Moreover, the requirements for this thing are very precise.
If there's a slight error, the error will be even bigger if a torpedo is put in.
Therefore, I don't need you to make it. You just need to allocate some people to research this thing.
It's better if you can make it, but it doesn't matter if you can't. "
"Then, what should we do about the accuracy of the torpedo?" Ling Wu asked.
"If there's really no other way, we can only use the most direct and crude method, which is to increase the size and weight of the torpedo. This way, the influence of the water power will be reduced, and the error will also be reduced," Yang Dingtian said.
"That's right, this is a method. Although it's very stupid, it's direct and effective," Ling Wu said. "However, if we do that, the submarine will become bigger."
That's right, if the torpedo becomes bigger, the submarine will also become bigger.
Yang Dingtian fell into deep thought. The result before his eyes could be said to be both happy and sad.
The happy thing was that with the crystal stone as the power source, the torpedo and the submarine would no longer be a problem.
However, the accuracy of the torpedo would become a huge problem, so much so that it would be very difficult to change.
It seemed that he couldn't place all his hopes on the submarine and the torpedo.
At least, before the torpedo's accuracy could be improved, he had to think of a second auxiliary method.
Yang Dingtian asked, "In our world, have you seen a kind of thing?
It's underground. It's a black viscous liquid with a foul smell. After it's ignited with fire, it can burn. "
Immediately, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen it.
Yang Dingtian was naturally talking about oil.
However, almost everyone present had never heard of it.
Yang Dingtian thought of fire attack. If the Demon Vulture Legion threw down the giant incendiary bombs from a height of several thousand meters, the accuracy wouldn't matter, and they wouldn't be afraid of being destroyed.
Gasoline could burn when poured on the boat or on the surface of the sea.
However, everyone present said that they had never seen oil.
Of course, there was also alcohol that could burn. Moreover, this thing could definitely be manufactured. Yang Dingtian mobilized the entire western region to manufacture it. It could be said that he could manufacture as much as he wanted.
However, alcohol was soluble in water. Once it fell into the sea, it wouldn't burn.
"Then, have you seen a kind of oil that is extremely fierce when it burns? It can even melt and burn through iron?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes." Immediately, many people answered, including Ling Wu.
"Ling Wu, tell us." Yang Dingtian said.
Ling Wu said, "There's a kind of tree in the Sunset Mountain Range that secretes a kind of oil.
The barbarians in the Sunset Mountain Range all use it for illumination.
They even use this kind of wood for forging because the temperature of the fire it produces is extremely high.
However, most of them directly burn the wood, and no one thought of getting the oil out. "
Yang Dingtian asked, "Are there many oil trees like this in the Sunset Mountain Range?"
"There are countless of them throughout the mountains and plains." Ling Wu said, "Every tree is at least as thick as three to four people hugging it!"
Yang Dingtian said, "Immediately mobilize one hundred thousand people to enter the Sunset Mountain Range and cut down the oil trees.
Cut them into cubes and squeeze out the oil.
You must obtain more than five hundred thousand kilograms of oil or even more within a month. The more, the better.
Directly expropriate the barbarian villages and even the remaining barbarians.
If one hundred thousand people aren't enough, then two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand!
Uncle Mu Liancheng and Commander Ximen Lie, one civil and one military, will be in charge of this matter. "
"Yes!" The two of them shouted.
"Martial Uncle Song Xiao, your martial arts are powerful. When you enter the Sunset Mountain Range, you might be able to suppress the barbarians. I'll have to trouble you to follow along." Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes!" Song Xiao said.
Qin Wanchou said from the side, "There are many barbarians in the Sunset Mountain Range in our Qin City. They are all high-level Martial Revered and can enter the Sunset Mountain Range to help suppress the barbarians."
"Yes, thank you, Martial Uncle Qin." Yang Dingtian said.
It was all thanks to Qin Qiqi that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Sunset Mountain Range were all buried.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for Yang Dingtian's hundreds of thousands of soldiers to enter the Sunset Mountain Range. They would have to fight a huge battle first.
"In addition, in order to speed things up, send three thousand reserve Devil Dragon Army and one thousand regular Devil Dragon Army into the Sunset Mountain Range to carry out the battle and transportation." Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes." Song Chunhua said.
Following Yang Dingtian's orders, hundreds of thousands of people would enter the Sunset Mountain Range in three days at the fastest speed.
When the time came, the vast primeval forest would be destroyed.
Countless barbarian tribes would be expelled. They wouldn't have a place to stay and would even be slaughtered.
Yang Dingtian knew that this was very cruel, but he had no other choice.
With a single order, hundreds of thousands of people would move out and countless tribes would disappear.
Perhaps this was power, the will of a king!
… …
Two hours later, Yang Dingtian landed in the Yan City's City Lord's residence.
At this time, Zhu Qingzhu's envoys and the Vulture Palace's envoys had been waiting for a few hours.
When Yang Dingtian saw the two envoys, he said, "Envoys, why do you want to see me?"
"I am Zhu Hongyu, an envoy of the Middle State."
"I am Vulture Sect's envoy, Ling Xi!"
Yang Dingtian was instantly stunned.
It was actually these two people. These two envoys were very important.
One was the current Young Master of the Black Heaven Sect, and the other was Wulingzi's great-grandson, Vulture's elder brother. He was the man who wanted to marry the Cloud Sky Pavilion's Yun Junnu.
Zhu Hongyu had inherited the looks of the Black Heaven Sect's successor. He was very handsome.
His handsomeness wasn't inferior to Zhu Hongxue's.
However, compared to Zhu Hongxue, he was more feminine. He looked more beautiful than a woman. His body was spotless and his clothes were whiter than snow.
On the other hand, Ling Xi looked relatively ordinary.
However, when he sat next to the handsome Zhu Hongyu, his brilliance wasn't overshadowed at all. In fact, Yang Dingtian's first glance was attracted to Ling Xi.
He was like a free wind. Wherever he sat, the entire surroundings seemed to become his domain.
It was as if he was sitting there, but it felt like he wasn't there at all. He was somewhere else!
Yang Dingtian bowed to the two envoys and said, "Greetings, Yang Dingtian!"
Then, he continued, "I'm pressed for time. If you have something to say, just say it!"
Zhu Hongyu said, "Mayor Yang, you should know that there will be a Tiandō League meeting in Middle State tomorrow to discuss the matter of the Council of Light. My father specially asked me to invite Mayor Yang Dingtian to Middle State to participate in the Tiandō League meeting!"
Yang Dingtian was stunned. Zhu Qingzhu was inviting him to participate in the Tiandō League meeting?
What kind of show was this?
