"oh!"

Looking at Cen Xing next to him with sudden realization, Charles Newman took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Zhao Yinshun helplessly.

"Actually, I also wanted to finalize it as soon as possible, but after designing the seventh and eighth versions, I couldn't always satisfy everyone. Either they disliked the weak firepower, or they disliked the armor being too thin, and some people felt that the power was insufficient and the seaworthiness

It’s too bad, but these indicators are all conflicting, how can it be perfect?”

Taking the opportunity to complain to Zhao Yinshun, Charles Newman kept complaining without any hope that the noble man in front of him could understand the drawings.

After all, the great being in front of him was famous for his martial arts, and the terms wisdom and knowledge seemed a bit far away from him.

How do you say Damin, oh, vulgar martial artist!

Looking at the drawings in his hand that were as bloated as a hedgehog, Zhao Yinshun rubbed his brows in pain.

What are these small water pipes of tens of millimeters left for?

Frying fish or hunting birds?

Something that can't even break the skin of an armored ship is covered all over the body...

"Mr. Newman, I have a few requests."

The careless Charles Newman was slightly startled. The young man in white before him really had an opinion!

Can he understand the drawings?

I was doubtful in my heart, but on the surface I still bowed my head respectfully.

"You say."

"First of all, cancel these useless secondary main guns, and use the same caliber and unified caliber ratio for all main guns!"

"Don't modify so many secondary guns to protect light high-speed warships. The main purpose is to pursue the rate of fire. Is the close-in defense gun that fires every three minutes a joke?"

Hearing this, Charles Newman, who originally didn't take it seriously, suddenly froze and looked at Zhao Yinshun with a strange look.

"Any questions?"

"No, it's just that your ideas coincide with a radical [full heavy artillery battleship]."

"Oh? Have you ever tried this technical route?"

"I didn't know it when I left Taixi, and I haven't known it in recent years."

"Then you can try this kind of upgrade."

Taking out a pen and paper to carefully record Zhao Yinshun's opinions, Charles Newman nodded solemnly.

"Do you have any other requests?"

"The main guns are all arranged on the horizontal and longitudinal central axis of the ship's hull. In addition, instead of building an open turret, use a turret to protect the main guns!"

"The caliber of the main gun is too small. What is 120mm enough for? My 59...forget it, increase the caliber of the main gun to more than 150mm and increase the magnification ratio. I want to be able to penetrate the enemy's armor with one shot. This kind of

Don’t bring out thick and short things to make people look embarrassed.”

After flicking the drawing in his hand, Zhao Yinshun frowned in disgust.

"In terms of armor, why is the hull still mostly made of wood? Can't it be directly upgraded to an all-steel warship?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Charles Newman shook his head decisively.

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Steel production is not enough. Special enchanted steel for ship use needs to take into account the properties of magic, toughness, and rigidity, and it must be as light as possible. As far as I know, there is currently no place in Damin that can mass-produce this kind of enchanted steel!"

"Emmmm... isn't it enough to put the steel plant into operation?"

"According to the current plan, it may be possible to meet the upgrade needs of the [Tianhong] in a few years, but during this period, all battleship upgrade plans must be stopped!"

Looking into the boy's eyes, Charles Newman admonished him earnestly.

"Instead of waiting a few years to obtain a super battleship whose actual combat effectiveness is unknown, it is better to use mature technology to upgrade all current warships to obtain the most powerful immediate combat effectiveness in the shortest time. After all, our current external environment

Not optimistic."

Hearing his meaningful words, Zhao Yinshun nodded thoughtfully and had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, wood will be wood, but all-steel battleships must be the long-term goal. Let the steel mills propose future expansion plans based on demand, and priority must be given to meeting the needs of the military!"

"Yes, sir!"

Excitedly recording Zhao Yinshun's order, Charles Newman burst into laughter.

It's not that he doesn't want to build an all-steel warship, but he doesn't want to waste the monarch's money at the wrong time.

"By the way, sir, do you still insist on the previous requests?"

"Well, those requirements shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"…………"

Not difficult?

Come and try?

Rolling his eyes silently in his mind, Charles Newman twitched his lips.

"We will try our best to meet your needs, but accordingly, the upgrade budget for the two Tier 6 flagships may skyrocket."

"Skyrocketing? How much?"

"It will at least double to more than 400,000 gold yuan!"

Accustomed to budget approvals costing millions, Zhao Yinshun somehow found it quite cheap.

"No problem, you can go back and make a plan."

After the elated Charles Newman left, Zhao Yinshun turned his attention to the quiet Cen Xing.

"How is the refinement of the ship spirit core of [Tianlei] going?"
