After these fleets arrived at the savage, they began to send ships to detect the situation around Java and prepare for the future attack on Java.

While detecting Java, the Red Barbarians also joined forces with the Flangji in Luzon to join forces with the Flangji to launch an attack on Java.

Zhao Wen stepped on the map and looked at the situation around Java in detail.

Today, Zhao Wen has a large number of fleets in Java, including five or six treasure ships and many sail battleships.

Zhao Wen didn't have to worry about the harassment of Hongyi and Folangji.

Although the treasure ship is not as fast as the sail battleship, it can carry more weapons. In this era, the treasure ship loaded with artillery is a fortress on the sea with strong firepower.

There are thieves in this world who are thieves for thousands of days, but there is no one who is thieves for thousands of days. It is okay to have a short time to defend against them, but if it takes a long time, it will not work.

Moreover, the sea is long, and if the Red Barbarians take the opportunity to attack the merchant ships on the sea, it would be enough for Zhao Wen to drink a pot.

Although there are a large number of ships in Java, we can't always escort the merchant ships, right?

Zhao Wen sat on the map, looked at the map, and his brows were tightly frowned.

"The Red Barbarians are fighting with Folangji and are fighting independence. Logically speaking, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Red Barbarians and Folangji. If it were in the past, there would be little chance of their alliance.

I really didn't expect that in order to deal with me, the two enemies got together and actually wanted to unite to deal with me.

Although Zheng Yiguan is not here now, I am not a vegetarian either." Zhao Wen stood up and sat at the desk.

Zhao Wen took out a piece of rice paper and started writing on it.

After a moment, Zhao Wen folded the finished proclamation.

"Tomorrow, I'll send it to the Military Academy and tell the people in the Military Academy that this matter is urgent and we must speed up the handling." Zhao Wen pointed to the rice paper placed on the table and looked at Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai said: "I have written down your Majesty!"

"Okay, let's get here today and go back to the bedroom to sleep!" Zhao Wen stood up and walked outside.

After lying on the bed, Zhao Wen looked at the roof in the dark and murmured: "It seems that the construction of the ironclad ship is also on the agenda. I don't know how the tanks in Song Yingxing are doing. The research institute cannot do without Song Yingxing for the time being, so it is unrealistic to ask Song Yingxing to supervise the construction of the ironclad ship.

Let’s start by building the shipyard that built the ironclad ships!”

...

Early the next morning, Chen Donglai sent the content Zhao Wen wrote last night to the Military Academy.

The content of Zhao Wen's writing was very simple, which was to ask the Military Academy to draft an imperial edict and notify Zheng Zhibao who was left on Taiyuan Island, and let him take half of the navy left on Taiyuan Island to Java to assist in the defense of Java.

Zhao Wen is not planning to attack Hongyi and Folang now. It is not that Zhao Wen is afraid of them, but that the war in China has not yet ended completely, and there are so many things. If he fights Hongyi and Folang again, the two Zhao Wen will probably not be able to be busy.

After all, Zhao Wen not only eliminated the power of Hongyi and Folangji at sea, but also took all Southeast Asia in his hands and controlled the three kingdoms of Ahra.

Besides, Hongyi and Folang Ji will not be able to take action for a while. Wait until the war in the country is almost over before taking action against Hongyi and Folang Ji.

Officials in the Military Academy hurriedly arranged Zhao Wen's mission.

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study room and looked at Sun Yuanhua sitting opposite him, "I have a task to hand over to you. After you go back now, you will immediately send someone to the coastal areas of Shandong to find a suitable place and prepare to build a shipyard. Remember, the place must be large."

"Your Majesty, doesn't Xinchao already have a shipyard on Pi Island? Why do you still have to build a shipyard now?" Sun Yuanhua looked puzzled.

Zhao Wendao: "The shipyard built this time is different from the shipyard in Pidao. This time I want to take out the real killing machine, so do what I said."

"I received the order!" Sun Yuanhua stood up, bowed to Zhao Wen, and retreated.

After returning to the Ministry of Works, Sun Yuanhua hurriedly asked his subordinates to select the first batch of exploration personnel tonight.

Before the sun set, the manpower needed by Sun Yuanhua was selected by his subordinates.

A large part of the selected personnel graduated from college. These people are young and physically strong, and coupled with the systematic training of the university, they have enough ability to complete various tasks assigned by Sun Yuanhua.

That night, the men took the train to the southwestern section of Shanxi.

They will transfer to a firewood bus at the train station in the southwest section of Shanxi to Shandong.

Time passed in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who had hoarded in Nanzhili did not make any major moves. They just sent Ye Bucheng to investigate the areas in the south that had not been taken yet.

Xuan Town is also very calm and nothing big happened.

In mid-February, Liu Wenzhong selected the beautiful girls he sent and selected five beautiful girls with innocent wealth, dignified appearance and excellent conditions.

These girls will undergo a one-month training, and the main content of the training is the various rules and appearances in the palace.

Those unselected girls were sent back to their hometowns by Liu Wenzhong. When they were sent back, Liu Wenzhong gave them a certain amount of repatriation fee.

At noon on February 26, Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study room and reviewed the memorials as usual.

Halfway through the review of the memorial, Song Yingxing suddenly came to the imperial study room.

Song Yingxing came to the Imperial Study with an excited look on his face, with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, a great joy, a great joy!"

Song Yingxing stood in the imperial study room and bowed to Zhao Wen. Before Zhao Wen could ask, he started shouting first.

Zhao Wen became interested, put down the brush in his hand, and asked with a smile: "What a big happy event?"

"Your Majesty, the sample tank has been created." Song Yingxing shouted excitedly.

When Zhao Wen heard this, he stood up from the chair and asked with ecstasy expression: "It's really made? How could it be so fast?"

"Your Majesty, it's true. I dare not deceive Your Majesty. The drawings that Your Majesty gave me are extremely clear. I just made them according to Your Majesty's drawings, so the speed is much faster.

Your Majesty, now the sample tank is parked in the yard of the institute. Please walk and take a look." Song Yingxing said.

"It's right, it's right." Zhao Wen patted his thighs excitedly and looked at Chen Donglai who was standing beside him, "Donglai, prepare to go to the research institute."

After Zhao Wen said that, he walked out of the imperial study excitedly.

After a while, Zhao Wen walked out of the palace in a firewood car and headed to the research institute.

Not long after, Zhao Wen came outside the research institute.

Zhao Wen couldn't wait to jump out of the firewood car and headed into the research institute.

As soon as he arrived at the yard of the research institute, Zhao Wen saw the tank parked in the yard.

Around the tank are staff members in the research institute.

These people surrounded the tank and recorded various parameters.

The tank is dark and dark all over, not much different from Zhao Wen's drawings. On the left and right sides of the tank, there are two large white characters "test" characters.

Because there is no white paint, these two big characters are painted with white lime.

The general appearance of the tank is similar to that of later generations, and it is smaller than that of later generations.

The armor on the tank looks a bit rough and the welds are clearly visible.

The black muzzle emits a breathtaking light, and the tracks made of steel are strong and powerful at first glance.

Zhao Wen wandered around the tank for a few times, and the smile on his face never disappeared from the beginning.

"No, good, really good, really good. I really didn't expect that my dear would create the tank in such a short time." Zhao Wen came to the tank, slapped the tank, and praised it repeatedly.

Song Yingxing stood beside Zhao Wen and said, "I dare not take credit for you, this is all your contribution."

"You can't say that. The tank can be made in such a short time. My dear will be the first to be the result of my contribution." Zhao Wen pointed at the tank, looked at Song Yingxing, and then said, "There hasn't been tested yet, right? Let's arrange for an experiment now. I want to see the true power of the tank."

"I'll make arrangements now." Song Yingxing replied and hurriedly arranged the matter.

Not long after, a firewood car appeared in the yard.

The staff around the tank hurriedly connected the tank and the firewood car with thick ropes, then started the firewood car and pulled the tank outside.

Originally, next to the research institute was a temporary factory for producing firewood cars. Now, the factory for firewood cars has been built, so these temporary factories are useless and these temporary factories have also been demolished.

After the demolition of these temporary factories, Zhao Wen asked someone to turn the vacant places into a huge test site, specially used to test tanks.

The tank, led by the firewood car, came to the front of the open space.

Zhao Wen stood behind the tank and looked at the tank in front of him.

Zhao Wen couldn't wait and said, "Give me instructions and start the experiment quickly."

Song Yingxing, who was standing next to Zhao Wen, hurriedly arranged the arrangements.

The power used by the tank designed by Zhao Wen is the same as that of a firewood car, and the energy is the same.

Behind the tank, there is a huge steel can.

This jar is much larger than the jars on the firewood car, and the gas is stored more than that on the firewood car.

Song Yingxing and his men unloaded the furnace specializing in producing gas from the tank's firewood car and carried it under the tank's gas storage tank.

The furnace that produces gas is about the same size as an ordinary furnace, and it just fits the tank's gas storage tank.

After connecting all the connected things, Song Yingxing instructed the staff to turn on the stove and fill it with coke.

Coke is made by coal insulated from air and strengthening heat. It has a greater heat than charcoal and produces more gas than charcoal.

Coke produces few impurities, stable combustion, and easy to produce gas.

The production process of coke is not difficult, so Song Yingxing had already produced coke.

Coke begins to burn in the furnace. When the coke is not completely burned, it is charged into the tank's gas tank through the pipes above the furnace.

The staff started to start the pressurization device. With the power, the staff didn't have to work hard to shake it with their hands.

The rate at which the furnace produces coke is limited, so it takes nearly an hour to fill the gas tank.
