Whether it is space folding, soul cultivation, and life form shaping, they are all more advanced technologies, which are more complex than previous planetary warship-related technologies.

Even the relatively simplest one, the production of a body without a soul, cannot be fully understood overnight.

So Xu Xingchen was not in a hurry. He had been busy for so long and had to rest and then make a slower effort.

I was only 35 years old in the imperial public age, and I could wait for many years.

With this mentality, Xu Xingchen also took the ship girls to play on the surface of New Mars.

On the beach by the beach in the new Mars capital, Xu Xingchen was lying on a lounge chair, hanging a straw and drinking coconut juice.

He looked at the ship girls laughing and fighting around with his head tilted, and breathed in a very happy mood:

“It’s so comfortable…”

The environment of the new Mars is basically the same as the mother planet of the ship girl, and it can even be said to be better and more suitable for one's original human habitation.

Moreover, there are only wise creatures on the entire planet, and the ship girls of their own home.

It doesn't need to be any concealment or concern, and you can live whatever you want. This is more comfortable than being an emperor on Earth, so that Xu Xingchen doesn't really want to return to Earth.

Now, the electric lights on the earth have just been invented under its own guidance, which has been decades ahead of history.

Electricity was originally the result of the Second Industrial Revolution, and Xu Xingchen promoted the Celestial Empire to accumulate the technology of the Second Industrial Revolution at the same time as the first industrial revolution.

Xu Xingchen knew that he and the ship girls could not take care of everything, so in addition to early technical support, the main task of the follow-up is to cultivate talents and provide at most some research directions.

After twenty years of accumulation, the empire has already had a group of indigenous scientific researchers of a certain level, and began to conduct some forward-looking research under the suggestion of Xu Xingchen.

After the indigenous people's education level is high enough, Xu Xingchen will not even give specific suggestions, and let the indigenous people explore it as much as possible.

At most, we can just help them determine the direction based on the nature of decision-making.

Of course, this letting go strategy is a general decision on all matters within the scope of science and technology.

However, in specific industries and technical categories, if Xu Xingchen himself cares about things, such as the design and construction of warships, he will eventually remain directly involved.

If Xu Xingchen, a leader, is omniscient and omnipotent, has given guidance and instructions in all aspects, he will definitely suppress the growth and performance of ordinary technicians.

But if he is just particularly outstanding in some aspects, it will not have too bad effects.

It will only be considered talent and preference in a certain aspect, which will even promote technological progress in related categories.

Xu Xingchen lived in New Mars for half a month, enjoyed the life of the leader of interstellar civilization for half a month, and received and comforted the ship girls returning from various construction sites.

Then Xu Xingchen reluctantly left New Mars and returned to the capital of the Celestial Empire on Earth in the 19th century.

Xu Xingchen, who came out of "settled" in seclusion, took out a set of design sketches of "8,000-ton pure steam steel structure armored warships" and handed them over to the empire's warship designers and great craftsmen.

It was actually the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship purchased from Germany decades later in history.

However, it is not a specific drawing, only the general ship shape profile and concept, as well as the imagined size and weapon equipment parameters.

The detailed construction design drawings are also required to be completed by the designers of the empire, and then the great craftsmen will consider how to build them.

As a result, everyone was frowning. The design of this ship seemed to be quite groundbreaking, but the technical requirements were really high...

The warships with pure steel structure and pure steam power are types of warships that have not yet appeared in this world.

Now the wooden sail steam hybrid ironclad ship has just appeared, but Xu Xingchen and the ship girl supported the acceleration and completed it. It is still one big stage away from the pure steel and pure steamship.

The imperial technicians who were enlightened by Xu Xingchen and the ship girls, as well as scientists and designers from Western countries, knew that iron basins could float on the water.

But at the same time, I knew that if the iron basin was soaked in the sea water for several months, if it was still floating, it would definitely be covered with various marine creatures, but it is more likely that it would be directly rusted and sunken.

At the same time, before the emergence of boiler technology for directly smelting steel, the price of steel was very expensive because it was made by blacksmiths and fried with steel.

Before this, the construction price of steel ships was extremely high, and it would rot in no time. That was obviously meaningless, and iron armor was already at its limit.

However, after Xu Xingchen and the ship girls established the empire, widely promoted scientific enlightenment education, and directly promoted and applied important basic technologies, this kind of ship could actually be built.

First of all, the imperial craftsmen have mastered the technology of making steel directly by converting furnaces. They no longer need to stir-fry steel to obtain steel, so they can make iron...

This caused the price of steel in the empire to plummetly, and then the railway can be built with rails and the cost of steel ships can be accepted.

When designing the wooden sail steam hybrid iron-clad iron-clad ship, copper sulfide anti-rust paint and metal cathode protection technology have been done.

In addition to the hull, the power of the steam engine and the manufacturing capacity of the naval gun can now barely meet the requirements.

Therefore, as long as you work hard, this ship can be built, but it is also a major test of the integration ability of imperial designers and craftsmen.

This is Xu Xingchen's purpose, to continue to give them new and higher standards of tasks, and to continuously train and improve their abilities, otherwise they will be ruined after they and the ship girl leave.

Therefore, with the strong promotion of His Majesty the Emperor, all the ship-making industries in the Empire were tense and worked hard to go for the pure steam warship designed by His Majesty.

After receiving the news, the civil servants of the empire suddenly realized that this time, His Majesty the Emperor studied behind closed doors and turned out to be trying to deal with his favorite battleship design again.

Of course, the civil servants only knew what they were doing, but they didn’t know more specific content.

The design of warships is also a military secret, and the relevant personnel of budget approval can only have limited understanding. Only the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy can understand in detail.

Therefore, the civil officials basically did not put their attention on this matter, but just quickly arranged the matters that needed the emperor to make decisions according to priorities and sent them to Xu Xingchen.

The first item is about the calendar. As a member of the traditional agricultural civilization circle, the Celestial Empire attached great importance to the calendar because it was related to the farming season.

The person in charge of the calendar is the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Based on the traditional astronomical science, he mastered the Western and modern astronomical concepts, and his comprehensive level has surpassed that of Europe at this time.

The memorial submitted by the Imperial Heaven Supervision states that due to the interference of flying stars outside the sky that appeared ten years ago, the astronomical phenomena have been changing continuously in the past decade, and the time for a year has been extended several times in a row.

However, after the Flying Star makes fire, the Flying Star itself has stabilized, and the length of the next year will be basically stable. You can revise the new calendar.

According to their calculations, the current cycle of one year should be 384 days, and it is very accurate, and there seems to be no need to set a leap month.

It is recommended to divide a year into 12 months, but the number of days per month is extended to 32 days, and then correspond to the Bagua cycle, which is four cycles per month, which is four cycles or four days.

On this basis, the solar terms were recalculated.

However, after being taught a lesson by Xu Xingchen many times, this memorial book made a very rigorous statement at the end. These are just rough results and general directions.

The formal calendar revision takes a long time and requires a large number of people to conduct precise calculations and arrangements.

Therefore, I applied to the emperor to establish a special agency and asked for additional budget allocations.

Xu Xingchen thought this suggestion was good, so he directly approved the operation direction and asked the Finance Department, which came out of the household registration, to connect with the Imperial Heaven Supervision.
