At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 507 Gunboat
In recent years, in order to develop science and technology, time has been pushed back for a long time, and we can't delay it any further.

All infrastructure construction in Xiliang has been basically completed. With the vast land of eleven states, it is enough to support the entire world.

Moreover, after conquering the world, as long as we take the lead in promoting large-scale farming machinery and improved fertilizer varieties, we can greatly increase the output of the Central Plains.

In this way, there will be no rebellion, and the time will come to concentrate the human and material resources of more than 20 states across the world.

The speed of technological development will surely increase dramatically.

After driving for two hours, we filled up the gas tank, had lunch at the post station, and then continued on our way.

From Xiliang City to Liaodong County, it is a full thousand miles away, and to Gaoyun City it is nearly two thousand miles away.

Even if you drive day and night, it will take two or three days. This speed is much faster than the 800-mile express train.

Liaodong County also developed rapidly. There were many minerals and kerosene wells here. Since the year before last, various workshops had been built on a large scale.

It is one of the top industrial counties in Xiliang, and many new people moved there last year.

It was June and July, and many people were busy working in the fields.

The current governor of Liaodong County is Su Linglong, the top scorer in the first year of the imperial examination.

The minister was in the county magistrate's mansion, or to be more precise, the county magistrate's building, an eight-story building that stood out from the crowd in Liaodong City.

There were six or seven cars of different shapes parked in the yard, all of which were extremely exquisite.

The Xiliang soldiers, wearing heavy armor and carrying long swords on their waists and pistols, were looking at the county governor's building.

"Meet the King of Xiliang."

They had received orders long ago and knew that the murder would come to Liaodong County.

"This County Governor's Mansion is even more magnificent than your Xiliang Palace."

Yuwen Yulou joked.

"What do you know?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "That's because I've stayed in Shuiyun Mountain for a longer time, so I think these tall buildings are so majestic."

"After a few decades, when you are used to seeing tall buildings, you will find the mountains and rivers more comfortable."

"Too."

Yu Wen Yulou thought about it and felt that this statement made sense.

"Meet the King of Xiliang."

Su Linglong, wearing a tight long skirt, came to greet them with officials from the county governor's office.

When their eyes met, the first female county governor of Xiliang blushed slightly, with a hint of affection in her eyes.

"Hello, princesses."

He paid his respects to Miaoyu, Ningxi, and Yuwen Yulou.

"Hehe, you're too polite, Sister Linglong."

Ning Xi pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at the man next to her, and reached out to hold Su Linglong's fair jade hand: "My dear sister, we are all family, so don't be so polite. Just call us sister."

"Yes."

Miaoyu agreed.

"This one too"

Yuwen Yulou came over quietly, put his hands on Xiao Han's toes, and moved slightly.

"Ahem, I don't know anything."

He shook his head.

"Husband, politics is a bit boring, so we won't get involved."

Ning Xi said, "You and Sister Linglong go and have a look. We are going to take a look around the county town. We haven't been here for a long time and it has changed a lot."

After that, he took Miaoyu and Yuwen Yulou away, talking and laughing.

Such an obvious intention made Su Linglong's pretty face blush even more.

"My Lord, please follow me."

When you step into the county government building, it is extremely clean and bright, with tiles, electric lights and fans. Each floor belongs to a different department.

Go straight to the eighth floor, which is the core area of ​​the County Government Building.

Su Linglong's room is on the far left, and the neatly arranged bookshelves are filled with various literary works.

An armchair, a rattan chair, and a long table.

Su Linglong stood on tiptoe, pulled the curtains, and then pounced over.

"Lie down."

After spending some time in Liaodong City, they naturally lingered, and then continued on their way to Gaoyun City. The sun was shining brightly, the waves were rippling, and the towering city stood on the edge of the vast ocean, with a black Xiliang banner fluttering in the wind.

The carriage drove around Gaoyun City and stopped at the dock. It could be clearly seen that there was a huge steel ship docked at the dock.

The linear body looks like a flying shuttle, and it is equipped with a huge cannon. The thick and long barrel emits a dark light.

When you board the battleship, you can feel its size and heaviness even more.

"Your Majesty."

On the deck, thousands of soldiers wearing light armor, carrying swords and rifles all knelt on one knee.

"princess."

"Get up."

Xiao Han waved his hand and walked towards the ship's gun.

"Your Highness, this is a 15-inch naval gun forged by our Liaodong Weaponry Department."

Su Linglong's eyebrows were filled with a hint of pride: "With the special shells, one shot can flatten half of the mountain."

"hiss."

Hearing this, the women couldn't help but gasp and looked at the black gun barrel with horror.

"Half a mountain."

Ning Xi said: "Doesn't that mean that one shot is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Finger Profound Realm expert?"

"Yes."

Su Linglong nodded.

"But the disadvantage is that forging is extremely difficult, and the number of finished products is small."

She said, "Currently, the children in the Weaponry Department are developing more powerful naval cannons. I have seen the data, and the power is equivalent to the full force attack of a Grand Master of the Celestial Realm."

"Pull it out and try."

Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Set sail."

"woooooo"

The whistle sounded, followed by thick smoke rising into the sky from the chimney. The anchor chain was reeled in, and the huge steel ship slowly sailed out of the dock, cutting through the waves and heading towards the depths of the sea.

The deck was extremely bumpy, and the DNA was much better than a wooden boat.

And it's faster too.

“See, this is the power of technology.”

“Given time, it is not impossible to destroy the immortal realm on land with one shot.”

He stood at the highest point of the deck, holding onto the railing, with several women following beside him, after more than two hours of sailing.

The steel ship arrived at the test sea area.

"Prepare."

The captain shouted and began to reverse direction. With an order, the ship's guns opened fire, like thunder exploding in the ears.

"boom."

A few breaths later, the ground on the distant island shook, and flames and smoke rose into the sky.

A low hill was flattened by a shell.

Such power made the women amazed.

"too horrible."

Ning Xi praised.

"That's right. It can completely withstand the full force attack of a Finger Profound Realm expert."

Yuwen Yulou nodded.

"The most important thing about this thing is that it only requires shells and does not consume any true energy."

Miaoyu smiled and said, "After seven or eight moves in the Profound Realm, the internal force is gone, but as long as the ship's cannon is not broken, it can be fired."

This is the charm of technology. It can mass-produce various powerful weapons. Even an ordinary person can easily fight against powerful warriors.

Moreover, as the level of science and technology improves, weapons will become more powerful and intelligent, and the speed of production will also become faster and faster.

If outside Kyushu, it is really as Li Daozhen said, there is a wider and more cruel world.

Then the development of science and technology is definitely a great thing for ordinary people. When science and technology develop to a certain level in the future, it can definitely benefit warriors.
