Si Yingying issued a nationwide recruitment order to mobilize people across the country to invest in the construction of warships. Intelligence said that Lin State had built about a hundred warships. Qian Xiaoxing believed that his warships had advantages over Lin State's warships. , so only fifty ships were required to be built, and Lin's warships were very large and needed to accommodate more than five hundred naval forces. Qian Xiaoxing's warships were half the size of Lin's warships, and they only needed to accommodate two hundred people. . . The warships built were few and small, which accelerated the progress. Even though Lin Guo built them ahead of schedule, they could still catch up with Lin Guo's construction speed. The whole country was mobilized, and the construction of fifty warships was no small matter. First of all, wooden rail lanes were quickly laid into the military port, so that trees, steel and other warship construction materials from all over the country could be transported conveniently. Secondly, the military port that can accommodate fifty warships also needs to be very large, and building breakwaters, ports, supply depots and other facilities requires a lot of engineering. Fortunately, Siguo's industrial zone is full of talents, and all kinds of craftsmen gather. The summons is responded to by a large number of people. Workers are constantly being transported over. Finally, the key parts of the warship are also under development. The propeller propulsion device powered by the steam engine is being developed rapidly, and the cannon as the main weapon is being developed by Qian Xiaoxing himself. If you want to make a modern cannon, you don't have the technical power. Qian Xiaoxing can only make an ancient cannon. Qian Xiaoxing has seen ancient cannons. After loading gunpowder into the back of a barrel, inserting projectiles into it, it ignites. After the gunpowder is used, the explosive force of the gunpowder is used to push the projectile out. The key to a cannon is how much pressure can be accommodated in the barrel. If it is not done well enough, the barrel may burst. So after Qian Xiaoxing had the barrel cast, he also had it wrapped with several layers of steel to prevent it from exploding. The occurrence of bore. The key projectile, if it is a solid iron ball, will be less lethal when hit. If it can explode after being hit, the power will be increased by several levels. If the two key parts of the projectile and the barrel can be successfully developed, the cannon can basically be completed. Siguo used a large amount of labor to build military port warships, but due to the widespread use of steam engines, the work required by these laborers could still be completed. Lan Lin used to live in a small fishing village and had never been to a big city, let alone a highly developed technology. The city of Sparks. Coming to Spark City these days is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Every place is so fresh. There are so many things that I have never seen before. I have never seen such a big city with so many people. . Lan Lin heard thunderous noises from the north and knew that Qian Xiaoxing was developing cannons, so she walked over to find out. The development of the cannon has entered the test stage. Qian Xiaoxing wanted to test how much explosive the cannon could be loaded without being blown up, so that the cannon could reach the farthest range. He lit the fuse and jumped immediately. Entering the pit on the side, the fuse burned quickly with sparks. After a while, it entered the cannon fuse port. There was a bang, a burst of sound, and a puff of green smoke came out. Black projectiles shot into the two cannons. On the hillside a hundred meters away, the entire projectile was submerged in the soil. It seemed to be quite powerful. Qian Xiaoxing poked his head out of the pit and couldn't help but said: "Grandma's, even with so many explosives, it can't blow up the barrel. The quality of this barrel is really good." While talking, Lan Lin also jumped into the pit. Said: "Xingxing, such a fun thing, why don't you call me?" Qian Xiaoxing did not expect that Lan Lin would come to the testing site, and saw that Lan Lin was still wearing blue clothes, but the style had been changed to be more fashionable and beautiful. Bringing out Lan Lin's delicate beauty, Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile: "Men like to play cannon, but I didn't expect women to like it too. If you like to play cannon, I can teach you. I have a small cannon." "You also have a cannon underneath?" Lan Lin didn't understand what Qian Xiaoxing meant and asked curiously: "Where is it?" "Haha, if you want to see my little cannon, as long as you take off your clothes, make sure you stand upright. Qian Xiaoxing said lustfully. Lan Lin understood after hearing this and scolded: "You ungrateful guy, you have so many wives, why are you still so perverted?" "Nature is easy to change, even if you are my wife, I will still be like this, It can't be changed." Qian Xiaoxing replied helplessly. Lan Lin pouted and said: "Who wants to be your wife!" Qian Xiaoxing said: "You said it yourself, whoever kills King Lin will marry him. I will definitely complete it." "I will wait until you do it." By the way, are you free the day after tomorrow?" Lan Lin asked. Qian Xiaoxing asked curiously: "What's going on the day after tomorrow?" Lan Lin lowered her head and said: "My brother recently went to train the navy, and you have been developing cannons, and no one is with me. The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and I miss you. Come walk around Spark City with me. It¡¯s boring to walk around alone. " "Oh, it¡¯s your birthday, so I must accompany you. Let¡¯s have a drink and talk about our feelings in the evening and then we¡¯ll settle the matter.¡± yearningroad. "If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the sea and feed it to the sharks!" Lan Lin said angrily. "Okay, okay, I won't tell you, but the day after tomorrow, I will give you a birthday gift, guaranteed to surprise you." Qian Xiaoxing took Lan Lin's hand and said. Lan Lin couldn't help but ask: "What kind of gift is it?" "I'm telling you now, there will be no surprises. Just wait and see." Qian Xiaoxing said mysteriously. The day after tomorrow, Qian Xiaoxing never showed up. Lan Lin thought he would come to see her early in the morning, but after waiting for a whole day, he still didn't see anyone. Lao Gao was so angry that Qian Xiaoxing must have been too busy with work and missed her birthday. I forgot everything, and secretly made up my mind to never deal with Qian Xiaoxing again. It was not until dinner that Qian Xiaoxing showed up and came to Lan Lin's residence. Lan Lin saw that Qian Xiaoxing came so late, and her shopping plan was in vain, so she turned her back and ignored Qian Xiaoxing. "Arlin, are you angry? Oh, you are angry again." Qian Xiaoxing joked. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was still in the mood to tease herself, Lan Lin ignored Qian Xiaoxing. When Qian Xiaoxing walked to the left, she turned to the right, and when he walked to the right, she turned to the left, just ignoring him. Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to say: "Time is too urgent. I can only continue to make gifts for you during the day. Now that I have finished making them, I don't have time to accompany you during the day. Arin, don't be angry." Lan Lin said angrily: "Yes. You have to make something all day long. I think you must have forgotten about me.¡± ¡°You want to know what the gift is? Come out and I¡¯ll show it to you,¡± Qian Xiaoxing said seductively. Qian Xiaoxing actually spent a whole day making the birthday gift. Lan Lin was really curious about what it was, so she stood up and followed Qian Xiaoxing out silently. The night was getting dark, and the stars gradually appeared in the sky. Qian Xiaoxing took Lan Lin and climbed to the high tower in the palace. The two of them reached the seven-story tower and had a panoramic view of the night view of Spark City. Lan Lin Lin asked doubtfully: "What are you doing here?" "Look out, your birthday celebration will begin soon." Qian Xiaoxing took out something from his arms, lit it with a lighter, and threw it out with all his strength. . The thing flashed with sparks and formed a parabola in the air. It exploded before it even hit the ground. It exploded like a firework in a burst of red light. "Wow, what is that?" Lan Lin had never seen such a beautiful scenery. Although it was only a short moment, this scene has been firmly imprinted in her mind. "This is called fireworks, do you still want to see it? Don't blink later." Qian Xiaoxing hugged Lan Lin, and there was a sudden bang on the ground, and a firework dragged its tail and bounced high into the sky. Lan Lin was surprised. , exploded with a bang, and a red flower-like light flashed out in the empty night. "It's so beautiful!" Lan Lin said in surprise with red light reflecting in her eyes. Qian Xiaoxing saw Lan Lin¡¯s happy expression, and it seemed that the past two days were not in vain. Then fireworks burst into the sky, and colorful flowers bloomed, making the sky beautiful. Lan Lin watched intently, without even blinking. Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Do you like this birthday gift?" Lan Lin said in surprise: "Xingxing, did you do this for me? I'm so happy, so beautiful, I love it so much. " "Yes, I did it all for you. Only you who are beautiful are worthy of such gorgeous fireworks. Shouldn't you thank me and give me a kiss? " Qian Xiaoxing asked. Lan Lin said in embarrassment: "I have never kissed anyone, and I don't know how to do it." "It's simple, I'll teach you." Qian Xiaoxing hugged Lan Lin to her chest, lowered her head and kissed her On Lan Lin's lips, behind the two people, colorful and dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky.
