Chapter 1 Sea Power [1]

In fact, no one wants to implement interracial interracial marriage, but it has little effect. It's just that when it comes to Tiger House, every time the new policy is implemented, it is a top-down state. Think about it, even His Majesty the King is so conscious. What about others? This is the case today. Since Norton, one of the three giants, can marry non-racial women, what else is there any doubt?

As long as you love each other and get married, no one can stop it, that's all.

With the support of the state, it is natural that many people will no longer feel that this is an obstacle and obstruction.

At this time, the technology of the whole country has reached a rapid progress. The original black magicians no longer have to worry about the persecution of the Holy See, and they will not be hanged on the cross, let alone sent to the stake. No one can kill them directly, and there is no need for a reason, or the reason is one: you are a black magician and a heretic.

And here in Tiger House, as long as it is not a cult, it will naturally develop casually. However, it is obvious that no one will develop so hugely. At most, he will rely on his own hope, and will not put all his capital on the so-called gods, which is simply a pinched brain.

..................

In the technical department of the empire, technical minister Christian is a relatively restless guy who likes to play with things, while another deputy minister, Weber, is a technical maniac.

In terms of improving the barrel strength of the magic crystal cannon, there are more than 1,500 materials they have experimented with. In fact, the failure again and again is just a feeling of despair, but they enjoy it.

In Christian's words: "Although we have failed more than 1,500 times, it also proves that more than 1,500 materials are not suitable for gun bodies. This is also an achievement, isn't it?"

In the end, the improvement of the magic crystal cannon is still to add some small magic arrays on the original bronze cannon. Although this method is very expensive, it is very necessary for sudden wars. What's more, today's Tiger House has a lot of money. You only need to experiment, how much money do you need, and me Say.

Only when you are rich can you do a lot of things, and no one can cover up some of the problems.

At this time, the Norman Kingdom is in a period of expansion, and the possibility of land war is getting smaller and smaller, unless a war against the Roma Empire and the Slav Empire is launched directly, but now, it is not an opportunity.

Tiger House turned his eyes to the ocean and stayed on the west of the mainland, that is, some alliances of coastal countries in the west of the Roman Empire, which is a very vast area with a total area of more than 8 million square kilometers, with 40 or 50 countries and autonomous city-states.

These highly autonomous city-states are actually one small country after another. The number of troops called up is also very large. At the same time, their fleet is also very strong. Compared with the strongest Norman Kingdom navy in the north, it is much better. This is also because they rely on the sea all year round, so the whole country on the west coast In the Home Alliance, there is an organization known as the Sea Coachman Alliance.

You can imagine how proud they are, because at sea, they do have the largest fleet and fleet. Even Tiger House is brave in the land battle, but the number and tonnage of warships are far away compared with them.

There is nothing we can do. One is a kingdom that has been born for only seven years, and the other is a region with thousands of years of nautical culture. In comparison, there is no comparative significance.

"Weber, what does your majesty summon us this time?"

Christian has been very relaxed recently, because the king rewarded him with a lot of things. At the same time, both he and Weber got a house in the city of Tamsalu and also awarded him the title of baron. Although this is not easy, at least some of their goals have been achieved.

Although in fact, the two guys are a little unhappy with the new surrender boy of the Kingdom of Noerland, just because they can be awarded the title of baron with their mouth, which makes the two technical maniacs feel uncomfortable, there is no doubt that they will not question the decision of His Majesty King Tiger House, and no one Will.

............

"Go in!!"

Taking a deep breath, Weber said indifferently. This time it was supposed to be a holiday, but when His Majesty summoned me, he didn't have to say that I was going to take a vacation. Don't bother me.

After the two entered, the attendants saluted slightly. After all, they are ministers, technical ministers and deputy ministers. They have high status and transcendent and have never been involved in power struggle, so they are relatively easy to accept in the Norman kingdom. Moreover, the reviews are excellent, and there has never been lace news, which is enough to prove that the character of these two guys is still very worthy of praise.

"Lord Lenny, I don't know what it means when His Majesty summons us this time?"

Christian handed a small golden cake to Lenny, the female official's bodyguard here, without a trace. This is a little favor, but it is also very popular. And Tiger House also turns a blind eye and won't say anything. After all, it is impossible for the subordinates to be as indifferent as him. They have to rely on themselves. And being alive is enough for them to keep running some things, which is unstoppable.

"Don't worry, my lords, this is a wonderful thing." Lenny smiled and his face was a little rosy. At the same time, he also received the gold cake in his pocket without a trace. At the same time, he said, "This time, His Majesty wants to rectify the navy. The supervision and design of the warship seems to be released soon. The king has won a lot of money for you!"

Lenny's words were very relaxed. Christian and Weber's eyes lit up. They knew that their own take-off would come again. There was no doubt that as long as the ship was designed, it would be a great merit. At that time, they would rise to a title, and the cabinet ministers would be embarrassed to obstruct the king.

In fact, although today's king's power is absolutely supreme, cabinet ministers sometimes have to be tough with the king for the benefit of each other's small groups. Although it is rare to be tougher than Tiger House, after all, there will always be a chance to succeed ten times. The issue of the title of the two has always been unresolved. It was not until last month that the problem was really solved.

After several years of efforts, I finally succeeded, not to mention the hardships.

The two have never been involved in the power struggle. They are only interested in technology, and they also know that their identity is special. The king will not let them leave the country at will. There are hundreds of guards stationed around the family. That's not a big deal. Every time there will be a new army to change their guard, which is enough to show that the two people are in the king. Your Majesty's position here.

............

"Squeak..."

With a muffled sound, the door was opened, and the two of them walked in and saluted very formally. Then Tiger House stood up, pointed to the position, biting a cigar in his mouth, lowered his eyes and said, "Sit down."

After the two were seated, Tiger House said slowly, "I want to correct the structure of the warship. The maintenance cost of today's warships is really too high, and the wooden warships, with so many high-quality rotten wood, is really difficult to supply. What's more, there are many strong enemies outside, which is not what I want to see. I need a ship that absolutely transcends this era. Let those hostile fleets have no room to fight back.

It takes half a year to build a heavy warship, and it will take three months for internal maintenance and assembly. If it weren't for the many gobsters and many master craftsmen in the north, I'm afraid Tiger House would not be able to build so many warships. This time, Tiger House focused on expanding the navy. In terms of the strength of warships, this is undoubtedly a blessing.

"I need a ship that can ignore the impact of the other party, preferably not to be bothered by the flames."

Tiger House said slowly.

Christian stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the case we mentioned a year ago can be used as a reference."

The case mentioned by Christian is that a warship was broken at the beginning, and then Weber and Master Jiji patched all with iron armor inside, and at the same time, they were riveted with britted with molten iron water, which actually made the warship extremely strong. Unfortunately, it was too easy for the sea to erode the iron sheet, and it was soon rusted, and then In addition, the iron armor is too heavy, which makes the hull mobilize. It is as bulky as a giant snail, which is extremely pitiful.

"Iron armored warship? Good, good, but the speed is too slow, we don't have enough speed!!"

Tiger House directly rejected this idea. Today's industrial capacity is not enough to support such a level of technology. All he has to do is to transform the interior of the hull, and at the same time install a lighter magic crystal cannon, preferably as easy as an artillery, which is what he wants.

"I want to change the structure of the warship and prevent lighter magic crystal cannons. Can you solve this problem?" Tiger House looked elsewhere and asked as if nothing had been asked.

Christian quickly said, "Your Majesty, we have used an alloy, but this cost is too expensive. And those refined irons are difficult to refine. After all, we don't have enough iron ore to mine. Some leaders of the dwarves said that the veins were about to be broken, hoping to find new veins, otherwise, our iron ore would not be enough soon.

Tiger House frowned and said, "Where is enough iron ore?"

In fact, today's Norman Kingdom is very large, but because the current technology is not enough to support the mining of some very hidden deposits, there is no way. Most of them are mining open-pit iron ore.

When Christian heard Tiger House's question, he quickly said, "There are several large open-pit iron ores in the Kingdom of Grand!!"

In a word, Tiger House's eyes were lit up.
