"You can't underestimate it!"

His impetuous mind due to the surge in strength gradually calmed down. He was making progress, and so were others. If he relaxed even a little, he would be surpassed by others.

Not many of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were simple characters. On the surface, they could look down on this or that, but they could not be blindly arrogant. Otherwise, they would only make themselves passive.

"madman!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but curse in his heart as he put down a blueprint presented by the veterans from Sun Moon Academy and picked it up again, as if this small blueprint was of great importance.

He thought he was already crazy enough, but he never thought that the people in Sun Moon Academy were even crazier than him, and they were so whimsical as to transform an island into a floating battleship.

"How sure are you?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Yang Shen, the director of the Baijia Association who submitted the drawings on his behalf.

Although the idea was crazy, he was really moved. He used the power of the earth's veins as energy to lay out a runic array, allowing an island to fly into the sky. It was also equipped with the Tiangang Five Thunder Cannon, which had entered the final experimental stage. It was simply not too scary.

.

Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone seriously and said, "Tell me the truth, how confident are you in the transformation of the floating battleship, and how long will it take?"

Da da da

If monetary resources are gone, they can be earned back through commercial trade and other channels. However, the birth of an important weapon of the country cannot be measured by money.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao, a powerful man like Zhu Houzhao, could not help but fall silent. He was not even sure whether the finances of the Zhengde Dynasty could support the renovation plan of the floating battleship.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"

The third step, and the most important step, is to build a battleship control base to circulate the energy of the island and maintain the balance of the island so that even if the island flies into the sky, it will not lose its balance due to being separated from the sea.

Zheng Dashen ran out, and soon returned to everyone with a battleship model made in advance, and began to introduce all aspects of the floating battleship transformation to Zhu Houzhao.

This is an unprecedented large-scale project. Whether the resources of the Zhengde Dynasty can be supplied, excluding all expenditures, and whether the national finance can support it are all issues he needs to consider.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, not because he disliked the probability of success being too low, but because it was too high.

The three-step transformation plan requires a large amount of manpower and material resources for each step. It is simply a bottomless pit with no bottom.

The second step is for the experts from Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain to lay out rune formations on the island to reduce the island's gravity and use the power of the formations to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to ensure that the island can fly.

"Your Majesty, the 30% certainty is already very high. After all, transforming an island into a floating battleship was something that would have been unthinkable before."

Yang Shen quickly replied, with a look of horror on his face.

Yang Shen said immediately.

Xu Guangqi, who specializes in artillery manufacturing technology, Lou Huaping, a public loser, Zheng Dashen, a Mohist, and a group of veterans from Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain

Everyone involved in the floating battleship transformation plan has arrived.

Everyone looked at each other, and Zheng Daping, the Mohist who was the first to propose the floating battleship transformation plan and reached cooperation with others, said: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. The success rate of this floating battleship transformation will never exceed 30%."

No one else spoke. Zheng Dashen proposed the floating battleship transformation plan. It was most appropriate and detailed for him to explain it to the emperor. Although they participated in the battleship transformation, they only played a supporting role.

In a clean and elegant bamboo building deep in the Sun and Moon Academy, Zhu Houzhao was meeting with a group of academic masters from the Sun and Moon Academy.

Whoever dares to offend the majesty of the Ming Dynasty can directly use the floating warships transformed from the islands to carry out military dimensionality reduction attacks on them, and overwhelm the entire world.

After all, the floating battleship transformation plan is too appalling and requires investment of countless financial resources. He will not make a decision easily before the specific transformation process is determined.

"This is still the result of everyone's great help. If I only relied on my own efforts, I'm afraid it would be impossible for the transformation to be successful."

"Masters, I never like nonsense, so let's get straight to the point!"

His heart was beating, but Zhu Houzhao still did not immediately agree to launch the plan. He planned to meet the masters from the Sun and Moon Academy first.

"Can you introduce me to the specific implementation process?"

If the floating warship can be successfully researched, it will definitely be regarded as an important weapon of the country, and its strategic significance will be extremely important.

Floating warship transformation plan:

The first step is to find an island with abundant leyline power, open up an underground network densely packed with islands inside the island, and build a leyline energy core to ensure that the leyline power can be transported to any part of the island.

Thirty percent, still thirty percent!

Zhu Houzhao was slightly certain, 30% sure, which was not low, and it was worth taking a gamble.

Zhu Houzhao paced back and forth, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He was still undecided and found it difficult to make a decision.

"No need, I will go to the Sun and Moon Academy myself."

Failure is nothing more than a waste of money and resources.

The weight of an island is unimaginable to ordinary people. It is extremely difficult to transform the island so that it can fly in the sky.

If the bet succeeds, the Zhengde Dynasty will have a powerful national weapon with terrifying power. Its military strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and it will be able to fight whoever it wants.

The shock in his heart was no less than that of Zhu Houzhao. The moment he got the blueprint of the floating battleship, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know which god came up with the idea to transform an island into a battleship.

"My lord, please go and inform the masters of the Sun and Moon Academy to come and see Your Majesty."

"I need to talk face to face with the master who proposed the battleship transformation plan."

Yang Shen thought Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied with the success rate of transforming the floating battleship, so he said with a wry smile.

Fighting a war costs money. When a cannon is fired, there are thousands of taels of gold. Military weapons research requires a lot of financial resources. Just the initial investment to open up underground networks and build energy cores requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Zhu Houzhao's scalp felt numb.

Normally, if you can be 10% sure, you should be thankful to God. If you are less than 30% sure, that is, close to 30%, the probability of success is already considered very high, and it is worth taking a gamble.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "The floating battleship is of great significance and he doesn't want to wait for a moment."

"Your Majesty, according to the estimates of the masters of Sun Moon Academy, there is less than 30% certainty!"

"Less than 30% sure?"

Such a crazy but feasible idea would be difficult for non-geniuses to think of.

Of course he wants a floating battleship. He can drive a battleship, fly in the sky, and hit whoever he wants. If he doesn't like it, he can carry out military dimensionality reduction strikes on people. It feels wonderful just thinking about it!

But he is the emperor and has too many aspects to consider. He does not want to cause financial collapse by building floating battleships.

He knew very well how terrible the consequences of a financial collapse would be. Just look at the unlucky Zhu Youjian and you would know.

Public dissatisfaction abounds and turmoil occurs frequently. Maybe you will be overthrown by the people of the world and end up with a lasting infamy.

Therefore, he had to consider this matter carefully. If something unexpected happened, it might be doomed.

I’ll post one chapter first, and the next three chapters will come later!
