Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The importance of the internal combustion engine is self-evident. Whether it is the tank or the airplane that Lin Yi envisioned, they are all inseparable from the internal combustion engine.

These things were only developed by the West during World War I.

However, as a traveler, Lin Yi naturally knows how to avoid detours and how to overtake in corners.

For example, in this era, Western countries are also studying how to carry people into space.

But they can only think of using hot air balloons or airships.

Let’s not talk about the speed of the hot air balloon, let’s just talk about the carrying capacity. Once it flies into the sky, what can it do?

And the airship? It's just a bigger match, the kind that can be lit easily.

You need flexibility but no agility, you need speed but no speed. In the air, you are just a target.

Therefore, in terms of air weapons, Lin Yi directly ignored the airship and went directly to the aircraft level.

However, because Daxia's industrial base is now too thin, things like aircraft still need to be kept secret.

However, keeping secrets does not mean that there is no research, so Lin Yi still plans to take out the internal combustion engine and guide Daxia's engineers to develop Daxia's own aircraft.

As for whether to build the aircraft on a large scale after the aircraft is successfully developed, Lin Yi thinks it depends on the situation.

In short, I don’t have to build it, but I must have the technology in this area.

Once the necessary moment is reached, it can go directly to the production line.

Lin Yi wanted to see what it would be like when Western countries vigorously developed airship troops, and when they encountered the empire's combat power in the air, they turned into fireworks one by one.

Of course, the role of the internal combustion engine goes beyond this. Lin Yi even discovered an internal combustion engine suitable for battleships in these drawings.

God knows how the system classified this thing into the scope of internal combustion engines.

However, when Lin Yi looked at the data on the drawings, he discovered that the internal combustion engine suitable for battleships provided by this system was actually a [-]-ton internal combustion engine.

As soon as he saw this, Lin Yi suddenly thought of two things in his mind, one was the Yamato battleship and the other was the Enterprise-class aircraft carrier.

The Yamato has a standard displacement of 6.5 tons and a staggering 460 mm main gun. And they are all triple-mounted, with a total of three turrets.

This means that the Yamato's main guns reached 9.

And on the Yamato, there are four triple-mounted 155 secondary guns, six 6mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, and 127mm side armor.

It can be said that Yamato is a hard and barbed ultimate weapon.

Although it is unlikely that the Yamato will appear in this world, Lin Yi feels it is necessary for this battleship to appear.

As for the name, Lin Yi also thought about it, so he called it Gonggonghao. The water gods work together, the lord of all oceans!

This also symbolizes that the empire's navy will definitely become the strongest in the world.

And the enterprise level, needless to say, is definitely the overlord level.

After having airplanes, it was only a matter of time before the empire had aircraft carriers.

Therefore, Lin Yi asked his assistant to check the selling prices of these two battleships with great interest.

At one glance, Lin Yi suddenly had a new idea in his mind.

"Damn it! The Yamato is priced at 1.1 million imperial silver coins? The enterprise level is priced at 1.3 million?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Lin Yi broke through the defense in an instant. One battleship could almost spend all the compensation of the entire Sakura Country? Isn't this playing on me?

"Don't worry, host. The prices of the system have been notarized by the notary office and reviewed by the Market Management Bureau. They are absolutely legal and compliant." The assistant said still coquettishly.

"Put it down! I don't have a notary office or a market administration office in Daxia!" Lin Yi complained.

"Oh? Really? Then I reviewed it impartially in other dimensions. If the host can't afford it, don't accuse others of their innocence out of thin air."

When Lin Yi heard the assistant's words, he immediately expressed that he was speechless.

What's this called? Regardless of whether this is fair and the review is true, even if it is true, it is still holding the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty! Is this ridiculous?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I can't afford the price you mentioned. Is there any other way?" Lin Yi asked helplessly.

"Yes, the host can purchase the blueprints directly. The combined price of the two battleships only costs 500 million imperial silver dollars." The assistant quickly replied.

"Five million? Although this price is still painful, it is still reasonable." Lin Yi said rather painfully.

"Okay, just buy it." Lin Yi sighed and said.

"Ding, five million imperial silver dollars have been deducted from the host. The drawings have been distributed. Please ask the host to check them." The assistant said briskly.

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Lin Yi felt that there were two sets of thick drawings on the desk in front of him.

Lin Yi looked through these drawings with great interest and found that these drawings were really detailed.

The dimensions of each part are clearly marked.

Lin Yi was very satisfied. He felt that although this little assistant was really cheating sometimes, the things he had were all good.

With this blueprint, wouldn’t it be enough to have the hands?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"Little assistant, if I follow this set of drawings, how long will it take for me to have such a battleship?" Lin Yi took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Back to the host, if we strictly follow this set of drawings, it will take about 20 to 25 years to complete based on Daxia's current industrial level."

When Lin Yi heard his assistant say it would take 20 to 25 years, he almost spit out the tea he had just drank.

But when he thought that he had the drawings of Yamato and Enterprise in front of him, Lin Yi quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Just like that, Lin Yi choked. Tea sprayed directly on his face.

But at this time, Lin Yi could no longer care about this. He almost roared: "How long? 20 to 25 years? You are fucking playing me!"

"What takes so long to fix?"

"Host, don't you know how weak the industrial foundation of the Daxia Empire is now? Building such a world-class warship will take one or two times longer than in the original time and space. It's not excessive."

"It won't take more than 20 years!" Lin Yi continued to roar.

"Don't worry, host, this system will never make mistakes. This time is carefully calculated. And it is still the best situation." The assistant said confidently.

Hearing what his assistant said, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little regretful.

Twenty years, how many twenty years are there in life? Besides, with his own help, even without the blueprints, Lin Yi felt that Daxia could almost design a battleship that was no weaker than the Yamato.

Then why should I buy the drawings?

"Assistant, can this drawing be returned? I think I bought it wrong."

"Dear host, once the product is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged. Moreover, this is because you know the host yourself, and it is not a problem of this system. Why should this system pay for it?" The assistant also said a little unhappy.

"Then what do you think I should do now? This is five million!" Lin Yi was about to cry.

"Host, don't cry. This system has another plan. Do you want the host to listen to it?" the assistant asked.

Hearing the assistant's words, for some reason, Lin Yi always felt that this was a hole dug by the assistant for him?
