The mountain-level engine coupled with a special supporting design, this sincerity is even more sufficient.
Qianye remained calm on the surface, and continued to turn backwards. The content on the third page made him raise his eyebrows again: the main gun of the Strider-class battleship.
Although the Strider class is not the most advanced battleship main gun in the empire, like the Mountain class, it is the most widely equipped main gun in the main fleet. Its biggest feature is the design of the triple package, which can fire three crossbow bolts at the same time, or one shot at a time. It can basically use all kinds of crossbow bolts with special effects in the empire.
Most importantly, it is the main gun of the cruiser-class floating battleship!
Although the Strider is far inferior to the Shen Lu in Qianye's hands, it is still better than other main guns, both in terms of power and quality, far surpassing what Qianye currently has. Although Song Zining also obtained a batch of destroyer-level main guns from the Empire, the Strider-level guns were beyond his ability.
Seeing that the Empire grandly placed both the Mountain-level engine and the Strider-level main gun on the table, and also provided improved designs specifically for the neutral land, Qianye couldn't help asking: "Is the Empire planning to establish a neutral land fleet?" ?"
Lan Xincheng smiled and said: "The land of neutrality is high and the earth is far away, and the empire has no interest in including it in its territory. Now that the battle of floating land is in a difficult situation, how can there be room for new development?"
"Since the Battle of Floating Land is still at a stalemate, I'm afraid these supplies are not easily available, right?" Qianye asked.
In Qianye's impression, until the moment he rushed out of the Unfallable City, the Empire and Eternal Night were still strangling tragically. There had been several fleet battles in the void, and small-scale hunting and annihilating battles happened every day. In this case, not to mention the mountain-class engine and strider-class main gun, even the engine of a frigate will be firmly held by the fleet.
"These engines and main guns were all transferred from other directions. Those fleets should be reloaded slowly, it's no big deal, and we must obey the overall situation." Fang Zhan interjected.
"The big picture?" Qianye asked, everyone's understanding of the big picture is different.
"The existence of His Majesty and the prince is the overall situation."
Qianye nodded, agreeing with this statement. At this moment, when Zhang Boqian has just made a name for himself, it is still unknown whether Lin Xitang can break through. Zhao Jundu, the possible king of the next generation, is still young, not even a god general. As long as the Changsheng King can live for ten more years, even if it is for a few more years, the empire will have one more heavenly king. Even if the Changsheng King stays in the imperial capital and does nothing, the invisible deterrence can still bring a lot of benefits to the empire.
Qianye continued to flip back and read the entire booklet with a strange expression on his face. All kinds of equipment, bulk materials, and... training courses are listed at the back of the brochure.
The equipment is used by floating warships, which are roughly at the level of the next generation. Qianye is now considered a half-expert in battleship construction. Looking at the content of bulk materials, he knows that it is used for battleship decks, outer wall panels, and external armor. There are also a small amount of high-strength materials or materials with special properties, which are used in special areas of the battleship, such as the cabin where the engine is loaded, and the gun emplacement where the main gun is located.
But the training courses are different. These courses train the commanders of floating warships, as well as officers in key positions, such as helmsman and gunner. It is not so easy to control the main gun of a floating battleship. Not to mention a whole set of special procedures, many special crossbow bolts also require the gunner to have strong capabilities. For example, the accuracy of tracking arrows is directly related to the gunner's cultivation and perception acuity.
With the previous things, plus this set of courses, the empire wants to build a private fleet for Qianye
Seeing this list, Qianye had a rough idea of the bottom line of the empire. It seems that for the few ginkgo fruits and super-grade original crystals in his hands, the empire is willing to spare no expense.
Qianye pointed to the Mountain Engine and the Strider-class main gun, and said, "How much of these two things can you provide?"
"Five mountain-level engines and six strider-level main guns. This is the bottom line of the empire, but if you want more, it's not impossible, but the time will be a year later."
Five main engines actually means five Destroyer-class floating warships. Although according to Song Zining's plan, Nanqingcheng can now produce warship engines, but according to the current production capacity, it can only produce two engines a year at full capacity. The mountain-level engine is a mature technology, not inferior to Song Zining's newly developed engine. More importantly, spare parts are abundant and the cost is lower.
The advantage of the engine Song Zining plans to develop is that it is more durable and can withstand the harsh environment of the neutral land, basically it can be used anywhere.
As for the Strider-class main gun, due to the special design of the triple mount, the cruiser equipped with it has more than enough firepower density, and the single-shot strength is slightly insufficient. But this is not a problem for Qianye, he does not want to build a floating fleet now.
This time the empire's appetite is not great, five engines plus six main guns, each exchanged for two ginkgo fruits or equivalent ginkgo wine, and other supplies, together are equivalent to a brand new cruiser-class floating ship. Now that the battleship is in front of Qianye, Qianye will naturally not let it go.
Qianye pondered for a moment, then said: "Two ginkgo fruits, plus the equivalent amount of ginkgo fruit wine, I can accept it."
Lan Xincheng was overjoyed, and said: "The goods are already outside the neutral place, just send a message, and they will be delivered in three days!"
Qianye felt a little surprised, and said: "The empire is confident this time, knowing that I will definitely agree."
Lan Xincheng said: "The military department is very big, but this time the person in charge is related to the person who gave you a secret. With this relationship, we will naturally have confidence. Besides, the success or failure of this transaction is directly related to the prince. Related. Who has the guts to do bad things?"
Fang Zhan next to him had a bit of embarrassment on his face, and there really was someone who would dare. For these people, as long as they can kill Qianye, nothing else is a problem. Even if the Longevity King dies tomorrow, it has nothing to do with them. Killing Qianye, by the way, is equivalent to cutting off the enemy's foreign aid, which is of great benefit to them.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhan suddenly felt a little restless, and when he thought of the few people who gave him advice before leaving, his face became a little gloomy. If Lan Xincheng hadn't reminded him, he might really have fallen for it.
Qianye did not directly say whether the transaction could be established, but asked: "How is the current situation of the King of Eternal Life?"
Lan Xincheng was very straightforward, and said: "The old prince got the ginkgo fruit, and the effect is obvious. During this time, he is retreating to refine the medicinal power. This time, the old prince confessed that the more ginkgo fruits the better, at least three."
The more you take these life-prolonging drugs, the less effective they become. Counting that the Longevity King can eat five in a row, it really shows that the ginkgo is precious. On the other hand, it is also because he has rich experience in prolonging life and can maximize the potency of the medicine.
"Three? Of course not, at most two." Qianye didn't intend to take out all the ginkgo fruits.
"Two is enough." Lan Xincheng laughed.
"Then let's talk about the exchange of other materials." After speaking, Qianye had a wooden box in his hand and pushed it over.
Lan Xincheng didn't open it right away, but asked, "What's inside?"
"Medicine."
Lan Xincheng nodded, took out a pair of gloves and put them on, first sealed the wooden box with force, and then slowly opened the lid. This is standard work to ensure that the medicinal properties are not lost. At the same time, Lan Xincheng's original force is neutral and peaceful, without any strong and special attributes. Although this kind of force is somewhat disadvantageous in battle, it is extremely useful in dealing with rare medicinal materials and special materials, without destroying the physical properties. If Qianye’s Dawn Qiming were replaced, some sensitive materials would be destroyed if touched.
Seeing the scale-like herbs inside, Lan Xincheng whispered: "Dragon scale moss! There are so many!"
The dragon scale moss in the box is the main material for making military super stimulants. A normal-sized scale is enough to make twenty stimulants. There are at least a dozen scales in the wooden box, which is equivalent to hundreds of super stimulants. !
Needless to say the usefulness of stimulants, super stimulants are only allocated to senior officers of elite legions, and only generals can withstand its medicinal power. Generally speaking, ten such stimulants are enough to turn the tide of a small special battle. This big box of dragon scale moss, no matter which elite legion's legion leader sees it, will definitely look red-eyed.
Lan Xincheng has been working on equipment for many years, how can he not know the value of these dragon scale moss, he slapped the table excitedly and said: "I am the master, as long as there are four boxes of dragon scale moss, the materials behind the booklet are all yours Already!"
Qianye laughed, and his affection for Lan Xincheng increased a bit. This guy is not purely an official, he really has soldiers who are fighting on the front line in his heart, that's why he lost his composure. When I talked about Bai Guo just now, I didn't see him so excited.
In fact, both parties knew very well that the King of Longevity could only get one of the new life-prolonging medicine, ginkgo. It is not known where the other one will go, but if you think about it a little, you can think of many whereabouts. For example, the King of Fingers should also prolong his life, but what about Zhang Boqian? Where is the emperor? What about Empress Li? What about the other two heavenly kings? On the next level, Lin Xitang's role in the empire might not be inferior to that of the King of Longevity. If such a person lived ten years longer, the empire would probably have more provinces.
Qianye shook his head and said, "There are only so many dragon scale moss."
Lan Xincheng couldn't hide his disappointment, and said, "This... is a bit small!"
Fang Zhan said with a smile: "General Xin, with such a box, the empire's stimulant production can increase by 20% this year. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"
"What are you talking about! It's not that you don't know the virtues of those sub-legion commanders. It's more ferocious to snatch the potion than to fight against the dark race. Let alone 20%, even if it is doubled, they can swallow it all up." No, not even blinking."
"That's true." Fang Zhan also felt the same way.
Qianye said: "Although there are not more dragon scale mosses, there is still this." Qianye took out another long wooden box that was slightly larger and placed it in front of Lan Xincheng.
Lan Xincheng opened the wooden box Qianye handed over, and was shocked again: "Xingyingmu!"
There are a total of three star cherry trees, and a total of six resuscitation potions can be made. If that box of Dragon Scale Moss meant that he could win more than a dozen special battles, then these three Star Cherry Trees were literally six lives.
