Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 934

"After returning to Britain, how should I explain to that old guy Thomas..." Sir Greenville had a headache when he arrived in Tianjinwei, thinking that his daughter had stayed in Huaxia.

"My lord, look, that's the steel monster we saw on the sea when we came here!" The members of the royal envoy saw the steamship Dongfang docked here at the pier.

Sir Greenville looked at the [-]-meter giant ship moored at Tianjinwei Wharf. The black hull made it look like an iron ridge.

The cable laying ship Dongfang stopped at Tianjin Wei because it had finished laying the submarine cable from Beijing to Edo City and hadn't taken on any new tasks for the time being.

"It turns out that the ship is really made of steel... It's incredible that the iron ship won't sink into the water, and it still has enough power to sail." Sir Greenville brought the members of the envoys to the bottom of the Vostok. The three big characters of "Oriental" painted on the hull with white paint.

"They have a technology that we don't understand, a force they call 'industry'. During the month I was in their capital, I heard that they widely used 'steam engines', 'generators', ' Machine tools' are magical things. Iron ships must be inseparable from these technologies." An envoy said.

"It's a pity that we stayed here for too short a time, and we didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with the technology behind them, and they will not easily share the technology with us."

The royal envoys originally wanted to come to conclude a trade treaty with Chu Yun, but when they found that there were many things in the east that they could not understand, they tried to discover the truth behind it.During this period of time, they were not only negotiating with the officials led by Chu Yun, but also learned about the technical force behind the Kyushu Army through various channels in the market.The more they know, the more fearful they become.

"The Academy of Sciences is the source of all their technology, so in the treaty, I won for us Britain a place to enter the overseas department of their Academy of Sciences. Otherwise, how could we agree to such harsh conditions as their garrison in Plymouth and the purchase of shares in the East India Company. We can compare Not as strong as the East, but we, Britain, will be number one in Europe." Sir Greenville said.

"I've been annoyed by the Spaniards for a long time. Decades ago, their Armada made four consecutive expeditions to us. We will teach them a lesson in the future! There are also grievances and grievances between the Scots and the French, and we have to settle them." Other nobles rushed nod.

"Soldiers, get ready to board the ship!" The captain of the battleship Crown Prince yelled.

The royal sailors staying in the Tianjin Guard Battalion reluctantly packed up their things one by one, and then boarded the Royal Prince.

"Hey, I really miss the food here. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat such delicious food again when I return to Britain. The food in our navy is far worse than what their local soldiers eat."

"God, our taste is too tricky here, and it will be uncomfortable for a while."

What the sailors of the Crown Prince missed most was the food for the officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Guards. Every time they scrambled for a meal, they were in great pain thinking that they would spend the next few months eating black bread and bacon at sea.

Especially when they knew that the salaries of the soldiers maintaining law and order in Tianjin Wei were higher than theirs, they were even more envious of the local soldiers and dissatisfied with their own navy.

"Stop complaining, it's our destiny to be born in Britain!" the captain said with a straight face.

Not to mention ordinary royal sailors and navy soldiers, even the captain of him is envious of the soldiers here, not to mention the war, the salary and food are many times better than their Royal Navy.

Moreover, the Royal Navy has to risk its life to fight Spanish warships and pirates in the Atlantic Ocean.

"Captain, I suggest that our Royal Navy hire a Chinese chef to go back and improve our meals!" A sailor shouted while checking the ropes on the deck.

"Yes, we need to improve our food! We also have a lot of ingredients!" The other sailors booed.

"Hire a chef to go back, and cook enough for how many people? What if the sailors on other ships come to snatch people? It costs money to cook well. Just think about it when you dream at night." The captain said Said to disembark.

"Maybe after our two countries trade, there will be an oriental restaurant in London..." the royal sailor who proposed to hire an oriental chef muttered.

The captain of the Crown Prince disembarked and reported to Sir Greenville: "My lord, all the crew of the Crown Prince have boarded the ship and are ready to return."

"Let's set sail!" Sir Greenville could only bite the bullet and return to Britain.

The sailors of the Crown Prince came to the deck and reluctantly waved goodbye to the officers and soldiers of Tianjin Wei.They were pirates when dealing with the natives and the Spaniards, but when they came to the East, they had the fanaticism of worship.

The Tianjin Guard General Soldier led his soldiers to send the group of visitors away.Although these people are all desperadoes at sea, their adventurous spirit in order to survive is worth learning.

"Our navy also needs this kind of courage to cross the ocean!" Tianjin Wei Zongbing thought to himself as he watched the Royal Prince and the fleet of three British armed merchant ships leave.

At present, the navy of the Kyushu Army is only patrolling along the coastline in the western Pacific Ocean, and has not sailed across an ocean, let alone sailed around the world.

The battleship Crown Prince and three armed merchant ships, led by a warship from the Zhili Fleet, left Tianjin Wei's wharf.When the fleet sailed into the Bohai Sea, the steamship Yongchang sailing from the direction of Dongying Kingdom passed the fleet.

Sir Greenville saw this smaller steam ship on the deck. Compared with the cable-laying ship Dongfang, the Yongchang, the first steam ship, did not bring much shock to Sir Greenville. After all, he When I left Tianjin Wei, I saw Dongfang, which was parked in Tianjin Wei again.

"There is more than one iron-hulled ship in the east, which means that they have mastered the technology of making iron-hulled ships." Sir Greenville was surprised that his stay was indeed too short.

Maybe Princess Sofia decided to stay for another year or two is the right thing to do!

I hope that Her Royal Highness can learn a little technology in the East, and lead the people of Britain to live a better life in the future.Sir Greenville originally thought so, but thinking about relying on the playful Princess Her Royal Highness to study Eastern technology seriously, it is better to have expectations for his daughter Selina, her learning ability is even stronger.

"The mysterious and powerful East, I will come again in my lifetime." Sir Greenville said to himself.
