Daliang's introduction to the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform he "invented" immediately attracted Marshal Hopkin's attention.

As an important military commander of the empire, Marshal Hopkin certainly knew that a unified combat system could reduce a lot of logistical pressure. Moreover, the current Imperial Navy is a whiteboard and a large group of various types of warships and functional functions after buying them, how the officers and soldiers conduct training is a very troublesome issue.

A unified maritime combat platform is good!

The rich deck space can be matched with military configurations according to actual combat needs. The Imperial Navy does not need to train ship members with different functions separately. The simple and bright later system can accelerate the transformation of the army to the navy's service.

Seeing that Marshal Hopkin was interested in such a "trash" warship, Ruks mocked: "If there was really a maritime combat platform that could integrate all the functions of warships together, other countries would have built it long ago.

Governor General, Marshal.

The survivability of a warship's most important performance indicator. A warship that has no survivability in naval battles, no matter how strong its firepower and many functions it has, it is like sinking.

Let's take a look at the Black Fire Company's...the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform, which has a width of twenty meters. Although this gives it a very wealthy military space, it is also easier to hit the deck by the naval guns.

Its width and its skirt make the hull smoother and can be equipped with some large-caliber cannons. But its speed can really be the same as a turtle, and its slow movement speed will make it the best target.

This is simply a floating coffin.”

Marshal Hopkin was ordered to form the Imperial Navy in the face of danger, and he had only a little understanding of naval battles and warships. What he heard Daliang just now made a lot of sense, but what Ruks said is more reasonable now.

Even though Marshal Hopkin has not yet figured out the relationship between the deck area and the chance of being shot, he knows that running slowly will definitely be easily beaten.

The marshal said to Daliang: "I think Mr. Ruks is very right. Since the navies of various countries have not built multi-functional combat platforms, there must be a reason. Perhaps the Imperial Navy can purchase several turtle-class multi-functional combat platforms as our training ships. I think its stability can allow our sailors to adapt to life at sea faster."

Marshal Hopkin was basically sure that this strange battleship was used by Blackfire Company and Marquis of Whitehead to dig corners of the Imperial Navy. It would be impossible not to buy it, so I would buy a few of them as a gift to the Whitehead family...

At this time, Daliang said: "Marson, don't be so anxious to make a conclusion. Other countries do not have multi-functional combat platforms, so their technology cannot create such warships.

Anyway, the tender is not over yet, so why not let my boat run into the sea and you will know where the value of this boat is."

Marshal Hopkin looked at Marquis Whitehead. Seeing that the Marquis did not speak, he said, "Since Mr. Liang has recommended your warship to me so strongly, then let the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform enter the testing stage.

If it really doesn't fit the Imperial Navy, I hope…Blackfire will accept the final result.”

Daliang smiled and said, "Of course, but the products of Black Fire Company must be high-quality. Now please check out the sea trial performance of the turtle-level multi-function combat platform."

After saying that, Daliang snapped his fingers.

Then the turtle-class hovercraft docked far away on the dock slowly started, which also attracted the attention of everyone in the stands.

The ship wearing a lifebuoy actually entered the sea trial stage, and there was definitely a secret operation here. Then everyone was waiting to see how funny the ship could perform. The reporters present also raised their cameras. They had already figured out what to write in the newspaper tomorrow. If the Florminke Empire Navy really purchased such a warship... the ** involved would definitely cause a major reputational blow to the Florminke Empire.

The turtle-class hovercraft had left the dock, and it moved as clumsy as it was in appearance. The poor design determined that it could only "creep" at a speed below ten knots. It did drive from the dock of nearby Saroyang First Steel Plant at this speed.

The reporters began to press the camera's shutter, and the spotlight flashed to record the moment in the film.

Then... people saw white smoke coming out from around the rubber skirt of the ship.

No, it went wrong as soon as it started!

This ship was not here to bid, but to make things difficult for the Florminke Empire Navy!

There was a burst of laughter in the stands, and Marshal Hopkin's face became extremely ugly. He gave Marquis Whitehead face, but he did not expect that the other party slapped himself in the face.

"Governor..."

Marquis Whitehead reached out to stop Marshal Hopkin's words. He stared at the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform on the water and whispered: "Continue to watch, it seems to be rising..."

Marshal Hopkin looked at the sea and found that... the warship that was smoking at the bottom of the ship was really rising.

At the same time, two large propellers located at the tail of the warship that were unknown to use also began to rotate.

At this moment, the laughter in the stands came to an abrupt end.

Most of the people who can come to participate in this Imperial Navy Fleet tender are experts in this regard. When they see the battleship they despised gradually rising and floating on the surface of the sea, they will know how the ship works.

It...it actually uses the pressure formed by steam and water to lift the entire warship from the seawater to the water surface, so the fluid resistance does not exist for the ship.

The function of the two large propellers behind the hull is also obvious, and it is itself a forward air force assembly used on the airship.

What kind of idea does a person who can think of this kind of ship design have? This... this has definitely opened up a brand new ship system.

Everyone forgot that they were just mocking the warship wearing a lifebuoy. Everyone looked at the warship gradually accelerating on the sea quietly. The shock in their hearts could not be described in words. They all guessed that when a ship is no longer blocked by water, how terrifying can it increase its speed to a level?

As the two propellers rotated rapidly, the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform gradually increased its speed. Steam erupted from its rubber skirt, as if it was lifted in the clouds. Without sea water resistance, the hovercraft's speed increased very quickly, easily breaking through 40 knots, which is 74 kilometers per hour.

But this is not the speed limit of a turtle-class hovercraft.

Without weapons and equipment, the no-load hovercraft does not contact the water surface at all. After more than 40 knots, its acceleration has decreased but its speed is still rising...

Chapter 60!

It’s impossible to catch up with the torpedo… No, the boat is above the water, and it’s useless to catch up with the torpedo.

Is this warship going to trigger a revolution in surface ships?
