Chapter 182 Sir, Times Have Changed (Subscription Request)
Li Tingchun's hands suddenly froze. A boat made of iron?

Many scholars or officials in the court actually know that steel can be used to build ships.

This is nothing unusual.

But the reason why Dayu did not build such a warship was because the treasure ship made of steel was too slow, and ordinary iron could not pass the Yuan Qi, so it was impossible to engrave formations on the hull to increase the functions of the treasure ship.

If ordinary iron is tempered into a treasure ship that can be empowered by refining Qi, the cost will be too high!
No need for wood, economical and easy to use.

After all, materials like Pittosporum can be planted directly in the sea and then harvested.

But the cost of tempering steel is too high.

The reasons why Li Tingchun's hands stiffened were not these... What Li Tingchun was most worried about was that the warship that could bring such a unique iron lump must have come from Japan, right?
what's going on?

The former governor of Japan didn't come, so what about the remaining bunch of people in Japan who are going to put up a desperate resistance?
Li Tingchun slapped the coffee table and shouted, "Zhao Minfang! Yu Chengshu!"

Two astronomical masters immediately stepped out and said, "I am here!"

Li Tingchun: "You two should quickly go and investigate the enemy situation and report back to me."

"Yes!"

Although the officialdom of Dayu is corrupt, Dayu has never lacked passionate and brave men.

The two astronomical figures in the army retreated outside the ship without a second thought, then activated their magical powers and flew into the sky.

And higher in the sky, Cheng Fengxiao, Lu Xinming and Zhang Jiuyuan, three masters of literature and art, were staring at the two groups of warships below, a little confused about what Lu Jing was thinking.

Cheng Fengxiao was straightforward and frank, and asked directly: "Mr. Lu, I see that the steel warship below is just ordinary iron. How can such a warship compete with the treasure ship of the Dayu Navy?"

There are defensive formations on the navy’s treasure ships.

It can also activate magic circles when necessary, as agile as a big fish in the sea.

Of course, this state will not last.

But if such an attack suddenly occurs in a naval battle, the warships of many weak countries are often no match.

Lu Jing pointed at the steel warship below and said, "Guess how far the attack range of that steel warship is."

Generally speaking, the attack range of the magic crossbow and cannon on the treasure ship is about five miles.

Even if the Japanese governor who was good at inventing things came up with a lot of new things, they would still dare to guess that the attack range of this iron treasure ship was only fifteen miles at most!

At three times the distance, if the steel warships coming out of Japan also have defensive formations.

The Dayu navy will definitely lose.

But the problem is!

Those steel warships don’t have any defensive formations!

The Dayu navy can completely rely on the solidity of the formation and the sudden explosive power to advance to the vicinity of the steel warship and launch a long-range attack.

But Lu Jing smiled and shook his head: "You can see for yourself."

……

On the sea, Song Yuheng, who was on the bridge of the steel warship, faced the sea breeze, holding the latest telescope produced in Japan in his hand, and saw two military astronomical figures coming from the sky.

So Song Yuheng handed the telescope to Pei Guanyin and said with a smile: "The newly appointed Dongying has sent an expert in astronomy. King Zheng Long, let the officials of Dayu see our methods."

King Zheng Long has become increasingly wealthy and powerful over the years.

He was wearing a navy uniform designed by Lu Jingxin, and he looked elegant and luxurious.

Upon receiving the order, King Zheng Long laughed and said, "Okay!"

So the Sea Dragon King picked up the ship's loudspeaker and issued an order to the entire ship: "Everyone enter level one combat readiness, aim the artillery at the enemy in the air, and the first round of artillery and machine gun coverage strike!"

"put!"

Boom boom boom boom boom...

Fire suddenly broke out on the steel warship, and smoke filled the air.

One after another, the shells with runes on their surfaces tore through the atmosphere, and with a soul-stirring roar, they launched a fierce attack towards the two military celestial beings thirty miles away.

God knows!
The two military celestial phenomena had just risen from their own damn warships and had not yet approached the high-speed rail warship.

Then, the two military astronomical figures thirty miles away saw a huge artillery shell coming across the sky with a gray and black smoke trail...that artillery shell was really huge.

The pointed oval-shaped shells are three feet long!

If such a big shell hits a person, wouldn't it be scattered all over the place?

What's more, they knew how powerful Japanese firearms were.

That thing is different from Dayu’s previous artillery.

The artillery of Dayu and other foreign countries is itself a large lump of iron, and it relies entirely on the weight of the iron lump and the force of the launch to hurt people.

In essence, the artillery of Dayu and the previous foreign countries were just alternative bows and arrows for throwing stones.

But the artillery from Japan can explode again after hitting the target!
The flames that burst out in an instant and the power generated by it were even as strong as a single blow from a master with supernatural powers.

And the power of this three-foot-long shell...

I’m afraid it’s even bigger!
The two soldiers' scalps suddenly exploded, and they used their magical powers to shout at the treasure ship below: "Open the magic circle defense! Quick!!"

After the roar, the two celestial beings in the army suddenly stretched out their hands, and dark red military murderous energy rushed out from their bodies. On the sea and under the sky, the dark red murderous energy rolled into clouds, occupying that piece of heaven and earth, and twisted it into a space filled with military murderous intent.

Because the treasure ship of the Dayu Navy was right below them, these two military celestial beings had no way to escape.

He can only rely on his own magical powers to support his defense.

Soon, one shell after another tore through the atmosphere, whistling and slamming heavily into the dark red military killing cloud.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

One after another, flames burst out, dyeing the sky above the Dayu Navy's treasure ship scarlet, and then billowing smoke rose up. The two military celestial phenomena who used their own magical powers to resist this round of bombardment only felt their blood churning in their bodies, their true qi disordered, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Li Tingchun, who was protected by the treasure ship magic formation and the celestial phenomena in the army, had purple lips and felt cold all over.

The same idea popped up in their minds!
Oh shit!

What kind of shell is so powerful?

But before Li Tingchun could figure out what was going on, the two military astronomical figures in the sky suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! This gunpowder smoke is poisonous!"

"Another shell is coming!"

Boom boom boom boom boom——

King Zheng Long, who was thirty miles away, ordered another artillery attack.

One shell after another poured down on the treasure ship of the Dayu Navy like a metal rainstorm.

One round!
Two rounds!

Three rounds!

Four wheels!

Until all the astronomical masters on the treasure ship of Dayu Navy were exhausted, and all the spirit stones needed for the formation in the treasure ship were used up.

The bombardment from the iron warship had not yet ended.

Li Tingchun had already become numb.

Two of the three souls are gone, and only half of the seven spirits remain.

Li Tingchun saw that his side was in a difficult position, so he said in a hoarse voice: "Go, go and ask for peace."

In order to save his life, Li Tingchun had to make this humiliating decision.

But the celestial beings in the army gritted their teeth and said, "We can pretend to surrender, then suddenly attack them after we get on their ship! We will catch them off guard."

The continuous bombardment had long broken Li Tingchun's spine, and he no longer had the leisurely and arrogant attitude he had before.

Li Tingchun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you understand? We haven't even seen the enemy yet, but we've been beaten and are running away. One of our treasure ships has even been damaged."

"Now I understand why the former governor of Japan dared to abandon Japan and run to Mobei to set up a school."

"It turns out that the small country of Japan has become so terrifying."

As he was speaking, another round of artillery fire roared outside the treasure ship's defense formation. Flames all over the sky exploded brightly on the treasure ship's defense formation cover. Li Tingchun, who was in the warship, suddenly felt as if he was shrouded in doomsday.

Li Tingchun immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Stop arguing, the treasure ship can't hold on any longer. I will be responsible for any problems!"

Since the civil servants have spoken.

Then these astronomical phenomena in the army could only accept it unwillingly.

quickly,

Two military astronomical figures flew into the air, sending a signal of surrender.

Then, the astronomical officer in the army saw a astronomical-level master flying over from the steel warship.

It was a Japanese astronomical figure. The short man was wearing a new military uniform designed by Lu Jing, which looked capable and simple.

However, there is a rune mark on the forehead of this Japanese astronomical figure, which has an ancient shape and flickers with dim starlight.

That was the restriction that Lu Jing placed on the Japanese celestial phenomena using the Tiger Sword.

The Japanese astronomical figure flew closer and said respectfully: "Captain Zheng said that since you are willing to surrender, please take a small boat to our steel warship."

After saying that, the Japanese Tianxiang turned and left.

Celestial phenomena in the army: "..."

They never expected that one day they would be commanded by the Japanese dwarf in such a domineering manner.

But now the situation is stronger than people, and Tian Xiang and Li Tingchun in the army can only do as they are told.

Soon, Li Tingchun and others took a small boat and arrived on the steel warship.

Only when he really got there did Li Tingchun realize that the steel warship was so huge, its length and width were twice as large as the treasure ship of the Dayu Navy.

After landing on the battleship deck, Song Yuheng personally received Li Tingchun: "Sir Li, I am Lu Song Yuheng, and I am honored to meet you."

Li Tingchun said sarcastically, "I don't deserve it! I am now just a prisoner of yours, Madam Lu."

Song Yuheng smiled and said, "You are joking, my husband has specifically told me to treat the Governor-General of Japan with courtesy and not to be presumptuous. I asked you to come here out of helplessness."

"Don't worry, I won't stop you from taking office in Japan."

"You just need to be patient here for a while. Once we have settled the affairs in Japan, you can go back to Japan to take up your post."

Li Tingchun's face suddenly changed!
Nonsense!

The damn imperial court came here just to make me rich!

From what they said, they want to move all the valuables from Japan away?
Then where the hell am I going to make money?

Do you intend to let me, a civil servant, guard that one acre of land, replicate what the previous governor made, and then make money for the court?

is it possible? !

Li Tingchun gnashed his teeth and said, "You have cut yourself off from the Great Yu court. Aren't you afraid that our Great Yu soldiers will come and attack us?!"

Song Yuheng smiled gently: "Haven't you noticed yet?"

Li Tingchun: “?”

Song Yuheng: "Sir, times have changed."
