Andrev, who was wet, was lifted onto the Zhiyuan horn by the hanging basket. The splashing sea water and damp morning mist wet his military uniform and leather robe. When the cold sea breeze blew, Andrev's backbone was cold.

What made him even more heartbroken was not only the sea breeze, but also this huge and powerful steel ship. It was elastic teak floor under his feet, and the places within reach were all steel, decks, machine cannons, main guns, masts... Even the guardrails that protected the sailors from falling into the sea were made of steel.

Humans are born with a sense of worship of steel, which is an innate genetic code imprinted in the soul. When the primitive tribe holding a wooden stick and a stone axe first met a civilized city-state holding a bronze short sword spear, it was a dreamy feeling of seeing the gods.

When the barbaric nations rushed to the ancient empire, the armored jungle made of steel and the invincible steel blades were probably the division between civilization and barbarism.

For metals, especially steel, humans are obsessed with the sense of power, thousands of years of precipitation have become a gene.

Andrev remembers it very clearly that he is different from Vadim. Vadim rode a war horse from Central Asia to the Far East, while Andrev came to China by boat in Europe.

He remembered very clearly that the entire Baltic Sea was full of sailing warships, and it was worth cheering for the soldiers to encounter a cruiser with a double-layer turret. But when he arrived at the English Channel, when he saw the three-layer battleships of the British Empire pressing over like a mountain, Andrev almost suffocated.

The sense of power, the feeling of power hits his face. At that moment, he really felt that the empire was invincible if the sun did not set.

That memory has been following him until now, and later in East Asia, looking at the ridiculous broken wooden ships of the Qing Empire, South Asia, North Korea, and Japan, a sense of European superiority arises. At that time, he really thought that he came to the Far East because civilization was liberating the barbaric, and he had no sense of invaders at all.

But today, a familiar feeling surged in my heart again. The heavy feeling of depression did not come from the sea battleships of the Empire of Sun Never Set, but from the Chinese Zhiyuan.

No matter how much legendary information Andrev had obtained about this warship before, he certainly knew the legends of the Zhiyuan rampant in the Atlantic Ocean and South America, but he always believed that it was just a legend.

The Chinese have been good at making pretentious things since ancient times, and bragging is their good at bragging. Of course, the Chinese themselves do not think it is bragging, but a strategy. However, in the hearts of soldiers like Andrev, any deception tactic is shameful, and only strength is real.

Until the Zhiyuan entered the battle in Vladivostok, the heavy shells exploded in the city, which actually caused the fragile pride in the hearts of Tsarist Russian soldiers.

They never expected that the Zhiyuan's combat power was so powerful that it was not a legend but a fact at all.

Today, when Andrev personally boarded the world's number one pure steel warship, his three views were once again overturned. There was steel everywhere, and his heavy aura made him and the soldiers and civilians around him breathlessly.

The Gatling machine gun fixed on the warship was rotating with their figures. The sailors behind the 57mm Hatchcas rapid-fire cannon were busy maintaining the fire. The running soldiers completely ignored the Liu Laolao who walked into the Grand View Garden. They only had this war and the tasks they had just assigned.

The sailors carrying live ammunition rushed them to the bow of the ship. Xiao Letian was about to meet these unexpected guests. When Andrev first saw the main gun of the Zhiyuan, his last trace of pride and reserve was completely shattered at this moment.

The 210-caliber main gun was placed on the warship, which was a feat that people did not expect at the time. Most of the artillery of this caliber were concentrated on the shore defense turrets, and no wooden shell warship in the world could withstand the recoil of such cannons.

In fact, even the Zhiyuan, which is pure steel keel, is very difficult to deal with such recoil. The designed double-shot main gun cannot be used for continuous shooting at all, and can only have single shots at intervals. In this way, the keel has the problem of loose rivets.

If you are half a step beyond this era, you are a genius, if you are one step beyond this era, you are a madman. Xiao Letian understood the shock in Andrev's eyes, and the feeling of being super-age has completely defeated him.

No one can describe that feeling, but Xiao Letian is easy to understand, because only Xiao Letian understand that the appearance of Zhiyuan was 24 years ahead of the real history, which means that Zhiyuan had a 24-year difference in technology generation from the era at that time.

What is the concept of generation difference in 24 years? It seems that the number 24 is not very large, but Xiao Letian can compare it with some things in his era.

Because the era where Xiao Letian lived was an era of technological explosion, for example, people's communication tool mobile phones, in 2014 when Xiao Letian traveled through time, smartphones had begun to become popular on a large scale. People often see their fingers touching on the touch screen on the streets, either browsing Weibo or playing WeChat, or cutting fruits.

But if you push forward 24 years at this time point, that is, in 1990, if you can walk on the street with an Android touch screen mobile phone... Please, I guess the gadget in your hand can alarm the National Security Bureau.

In 1990, even BB phones were not popularized. If you could pick up a mobile phone on the street, people would definitely feel no different from aliens when they see you.

The same principle applies to people of this era. Andrev, who was used to sailing warships and wooden hulled ships, suddenly encountered this dream warship with advanced black technology. He was completely impressed. A sense of depression completely defeated him. All the negotiations organized along the way could not be expressed at this moment.

"This officer! This gentleman! Hey... are you listening to me? This officer, what's wrong with you coming to me?" Xiao Letian looked at Andrev's eyes a little dull, but he stared at the double-coupled 210 caliber main gun in a daze. He knew that Liu Laolao had been shocked.

"What do you think? This is the naval war cannon developed by Krupp, which has mobilized 300 engineers and gathered elites from six industries... Does it feel very majestic?"

"Yes...yes...oh, sorry! I'm rude..." It was not until this moment Andrev woke up from his dream. When he saw the Chinese in the dress of a general in front of him, he knew that this was the real master Xiao Letian, so he raised his hand to salute.

"Tsarist Russian Far East Army, 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment of the First Army... Andrev saluted the Prime Minister!"

"After a moment! You shouldn't salute me first. On this warship, I am not the most noble one!" After saying that, Xiao Letian flashed, and Zai Chun, wearing a dragon robe behind him, appeared in front of Andrev.
