The main design ideas provided by Xiao Letian were polished and modified by hundreds of Prussian engineers, and nearly 300,000 parts were dispersed to more than 500 steel factories, machining factories, and arsenals in Prussia.

It was finally transported to Volqiang Shipyard for secret assembly and production, which led to such a legendary warship that had exceeded the era for at least forty years.

Perhaps many European intelligence organizations have obtained a lot of external information about the Zhiyuan cabin, but the Europeans have not yet understood the secrets in the Zhiyuan cabin until today.

Why did Major General Jason run to Zhiyuan again and again to have a free meal? Is he really too greedy for Chinese food? In fact, they also mean to inquire about the military situation of Zhiyuan at close range.

Unfortunately, they did not enter the Zhiyuan's bottom cabin, boiler room, power transmission cabin, ammunition depot, artillery shell transmission mechanism... none of them saw these most valuable secrets.

Xiao Letian is very confident about the Zhiyuan. It not only has strong firepower, but also has the abundant power performance of this warship.

4 round coal-fired boilers and two-seater horizontal triple-expanding reciprocating steam machines, dual-axis propulsion, power of 5,500 horsepower, and speed of 19 knots.

No country could have imagined that the Zhiyuan could have 5,500 horsepower, because in the European ship design industry at that time, steam engines were always the main force of sails. Those warships that lost their sails and rely entirely on coal were cursed as aliens by countless mainstream designers.

Many strategists even went astray. They believed that pure coal-fired warships would increase the difficulty of naval supply. What if the coal at sea burned out? Let the soldiers paddle?

It is this distrust that has caused the development of pure steam-powered warships to encounter a bottleneck, and this small bottleneck is the most rare historical opportunity for the Chinese.

Today, Zhiyuan not only wants to show the world its indestructible steel hull, but also its surging gold grab power! The doomsday of the Maranta is right in front of you.

Not only that, Xiang Ying also used another secret weapon of the Zhiyuan, which is the strong wind pressure!

Strong wind pressure, as the name suggests, is to use a Dagong mechanical blower to pressurize the air like in the boiler, thereby increasing the firepower and instantly increasing the boiler pressure. According to the design drawing, once the strong wind pressure is increased to the limit, the horsepower of the Zhiyuan can even rush to 7,500 horsepower.

Of course this is just a theoretical value. When the Atlantic Ocean was tested, Xiang Ying was at most 6,300 horsepower, and he didn't dare to continue to increase the pressure, not because he couldn't add it, but because he was reluctant to destroy the boiler anymore.

Strong wind pressure is completely an evil move on the battlefield, and it belongs to the Seven Injury Fist. After injuring the enemy, you will also suffer internal injuries and backlash.

Because the boiler works under a strong pressure ventilation state, the aging will fall faster than the normal working state, the furnace is easily eroded, and some steam pipelines are more likely to leak due to long-term high pressure state. Therefore, the pressure ventilation to increase the speed is a special method that can only be used in emergency situations.

It is precisely because this move is too domineering that there is no strong wind-pressurized pointer scale on the watch faces of various car clocks in the Zhiyuan command cabin.

This order is completely extraordinary and can only be carried out after the captain verbally temporarily ordered. No other officer has the right to issue an order to increase the pressure of the wind.

The Zhiyuan has made all the preparations for the jade break. Sixteen coal shovelers in the boiler warehouse work hard. A foot-long shovel throws the coal emitted with black oil into the burning boiler. The high temperature is extremely hot, and the half-foot-long flames spray out every time the door is opened.

The coal shoveler has taken off all his body, and his shiny muscles are as strong as statues of ancient Greek warriors in the European Art Museum.

The workers close to the boiler control a boiler port in a group. According to the normal workflow, they should change shifts every 20 minutes, but when the strong wind pressure starts, they must change shifts every 3 minutes.

It's too hot! The entire boiler cabin has become a purgatory. When the command of strong winds is issued, the coal shovelers heard a strange roar from the deepest part of the Zhiyuan, as if some ghost was roaring.

That was when the high-pressure blower began to pump air from the outside and pour it into the boiler. The red flame suddenly turned blue. Every time the steel baffle at the coal outlet was opened, the light blue flame suddenly spewed out more than a foot high.

At that moment, the coal shovelers present felt that the entire boiler was about to be burned!

"It's so satisfying... it's so satisfying! Sink cold water on me... and then do it! Damn it, hit those dogs to death!"

With a bang, the flames spewed out a foot and a half, and the high temperature burned the coal shoveler's eyebrows.

"Hahaha, I'm the second child! Get closer and burn your second child's beard! Hahaha..."

You can still laugh at the critical moment of life and death, which shows that the Zhiyuan account is equipped with a group of perverts!

The moment the strong wind pressed, all the crew members on the Zhiyuan clearly felt a trembling keel. Then the warship suddenly accelerated, the speed of the tail propeller doubled, and the rolling splashes dragged out more than ten meters.

"All crew members are ready for collision... to avoid safety according to training...everyone on the deck is looking for cover!"

Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, five hundred meters... After the Zhiyuan and Maranta were only 250 meters away, the sailors on both sides could clearly count the number of each other's people, and even the shouts were gradually heard clearly.

"God bless France! God bless His Majesty the Emperor! Revenge the Knight Molière! Revenge for Dakar! Revenge for all compatriots killed by the Chinese..."

"Yu Zhui Charge! Kill these dogs! Avenge the people who died in Naha! Revenge for Baliqiao, Summer Palace! Revenge for the head of state! Kill them..."

At that moment, the scorching sun lost its light, and the sky and the earth changed color. A thrilling collision was about to take place. Suez, who had just opened to navigation, encountered the biggest bloody conflict today.

Captain Arnold was already hysterical, he jumped and shouted, "Maranta! Go forward! You are the pride of France, you are the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet! If you bump into it, you will not fail!"

"Hahaha, let you taste the industrial strength of France! Despicable Chinese, you used to be just sneak attacking the weakest fleet, now let you taste the power of the real elite French warships..."

In the hearts of these arrogant French soldiers, the first place in industrialization is of course Britain, and the second place is definitely France.

The warships designed by the Chinese, built by Prussia? Bah...that is a toy to deceive laymen!
