Chapter 819

Under the attention of the public, the cover of the boat in the middle of the Xijiang River was finally lifted, revealing a mysterious veil in front of everyone.

Seeing the ship, the crowd around the banks of the river suddenly made a huge noise.

It's not surprising that some people would be surprised. It's really because the shape of the ship is so strange. At the back of the middle of the ship, the ship protrudes, and there is a huge circular wheel hanging on the ship, just like two water tankers for pumping water on the ship, and this is not the most strange. The strangest thing is the middle of the ship, Obviously, as long as it is a section higher than an ordinary ship, the thing that is higher looks like a chimney.

"Ah, why are there two water tankers hanging on the new ship? Are you afraid of water leakage? Are you ready in advance to pump out the water in the ship..."

"No, even if the ship is afraid of water leakage, the waterwheel should be put in the ship instead of hanging outside!"

"And, and, you see, the one standing on the ship is not a chimney. This ship is wooden. It is most taboo to make a fire on it. How can we get a chimney on this ship?"

"That's not really a chimney. It should just look like it!"

"Strange, strange..."

"There are few people on such a ship. Can you really go?"

For a moment, there was such noise and Discussion on both sides of the river.

But in the noise and discussion of the people, the thing that looked like a chimney on the ship that unveiled the mystery really began to smoke outside. Seeing the smoke from the chimney on the ship, the crowd on both sides of the river suddenly made a bigger and more lively sound.

"Ah, look, look, it's really smoking. It's really a chimney..."

"My God!"

After a moment of smoke from the chimney of the ship, people with sharp eyes suddenly found that the two large discs like waterwheel on both sides of the ship began to rotate twice, setting off a snowflake spray on the river and making a huge sound of rumbling, but they stopped again in the blink of an eye. The appetite of the people who had just been lifted suddenly fell down.

"Ah, what's the matter? Why doesn't that thing turn? Did that sound come from the ship just now..."

"Won't it be so bad?"

In this way, almost two or three minutes later, the roaring sound on the ship sounded again. Then, in everyone's attention, the large wheels on both sides of the ship began to rotate like a water wheel driven by the water flow, and slowly, faster and faster, setting off a circle of waves on the river.

"Move, move, the ship finally moved..."

Yes, the ship that attracted much attention finally began to move faster and faster. After a while, it was far away. The fastest ship that the onlookers could see in their life. The two impellers like waterwheel on the ship had been completely surrounded by snow-white spray. As the ship passed, two herringbone waves were dragged from the stern

After staying for a moment, the onlookers on both sides of the river finally broke out loud cheers and shouts, "move, move, the ship really moved..."

I saw the ship with black smoke in the chimney. After driving more than 2000 meters downstream on the river, it turned around directly on the river. In the roaring sound, it drove more than 2000 meters upstream. It was much faster than those ships with manpower and wind power. Everywhere the ship went, people on the Bank of the river burst into huge cheers and applause.

At this time, some smart people had guessed that the ship must be driven by a water lighter, but those people still felt eye opening when they saw that the machine could push the ship on the water like this.

The ship with black smoke in the chimney kept driving back and forth on the river, proving its reliability to everyone, and the crowd on the bank cheered again and again.

After the ship had driven for a while, several sails were raised on the mast of the ship. With the joint action of sails and water lighter, the ship ran faster.

……

"Brother Li Qiang is really superior to his predecessors. This ship has an exquisite idea. With the combination of water lighter and wind power, it can sail faster than ordinary ships, save manpower and adapt to more rivers. Hahaha, when I raise my hand, my brother will open another source of money for the manufacturing Bureau, I really deserve to be a craftsman of the Han Empire... "Looking at the test ship running fast on the river, Zhang yourong laughed.

"I'm joking. This thing doesn't have any complexity. If I wanted to build it, I would have built it long ago. My energy is estimated to be spent on building something that can run on land. That thing is much more complex than this, so I picked up a cheap one and made a simple one..." Yan Liqiang laughed.

Yan Liqiang knows that Zhang yourong has always wanted to be something that can run on the ground. However, although there is a steam engine, it can make a usable car or even a bionic walking device. There is still a long way to go in the middle, which requires more details and technical accumulation.

In the last life on earth, after the invention of the steam engine, the emergence of the automobile was nearly 80 years later than that of the ship, which is enough to explain many problems. Before, Zhang yourong had manufactured an experimental vehicle that can run on the road in Lingshan sect. However, the vehicle is not only expensive, but also unused and inconvenient to use, and its use is greatly limited, There is no possibility to promote it at all, so after making it, the mechanism master of Lingshan sect was not satisfied and did not publicize it. He threw it to a group of disciples of Qianji hall to figure it out. On the surface, Zhang yourong came to the Northwest for the purpose of Lingshan sect's opening of Qiyun other courtyard in the northwest and Lingshan sect's response to Yan Liqiang's Hu killing order. In fact, In fact, he wants to communicate with Yan Liqiang again. After all, there is only one Yan Liqiang in the whole Han Empire who can discuss and study the way of mechanism and object with Zhang yourong. Other people's attainments and vision in the way of mechanism and object are not at the same level as them.

"By the way, I don't know what the name of this new ship should be?" Zhong Jiacheng looked at the boat in the river and asked excitedly. After all, it was a young man. Seeing this thing made by the manufacturing Bureau by Yan Liqiang, Zhong Jiacheng was interested at once. He could hardly move his eyes when he looked at the boat sailing in the river.

"I think we'll call it a ship!" Yan Liqiang opened his mouth and called the steam engine a water lighter. Yan Liqiang felt a little awkward. This time he wouldn't make some strange names to make trouble with himself.

Zhong Jiacheng was stunned, pondered for two seconds and smiled, "yes, yes, the leaves on both sides of the ship just fly, which can drive the ship. The name given by Lord Yan is also appropriate. Once the ship comes out, I'm afraid it will be such a ship in the rivers, lakes and seas of the Han Empire. Other ships want to run faster than this, I'm afraid it's impossible! "

"That's not necessarily true!" Looking at the possible successor of the northwest Zhong family in the future, Yan Li forced to smile. "In the future, there will be ships that run faster and more stable than this one. The sails on that ship are just a transition. Sooner or later, those big ships running in the middle of the river and the sea don't need to load sails. As long as the machine is enough!"

"Ah, is there really a faster boat than this?" Zhong Jiacheng said suspiciously.

"Yes, not only will there be such ships, but also ships made of steel in the future!" Yan Liqiang said with great certainty.

Zhong Jiacheng suddenly laughed, and many people nearby laughed, "this steel is much heavier than water. In this world, where can a ship made of steel float on the water? When such a ship is built, it will sink as soon as it is put on the water. Ha ha, I know. The guardian must be kidding me..."

Among all the people, only Zhang yourong didn't laugh. He looked at Yan Liqiang in shock. "Has brother Yan studied to this extent? Has he found the secret?"

Listening to Zhang yourong's words, the smiles of those who were still smiling suddenly disappeared. Everyone looked at the world's first mechanism master and listened to the master's tone. Can the iron ship really be built?

"Ha ha, brother, have you tried to make something?" Yan Liqiang asked with a smile.

Zhang yourong nodded. "I've made several small models, not only with steel, gold, silver, copper and lead. Some models can float on the water. I found that things that can float on the water may not be lighter than water, but I haven't understood the principle for a while!"

Yan Liqiang blinked. "Did the elder brother think that all the water surfaces are flat, that the ship is put in the water to squeeze the water away, and what is the relationship between the weight of the water and the buoyancy of the ship itself?"

Zhang yourong suddenly felt shocked and his eyes were stunned. He just muttered to himself and repeated Yan Liqiang's words, "the weight of the drained water... The weight of the drained water... The weight of the drained water... And the weight and buoyancy of the ship... This matter... How did I not think... How did I not think... Brother, you said that, Must have understood the principle of making iron ships... "

"Big is floating, small is sinking. Everything is reasonable, but it has nothing to do with the material density of the ship!" Yan Liqiang smiled.

Zhang yourong froze for a moment, almost jumped up on the ship, shouted directly and looked excited, "I see, I understand, I understand, that's the truth. As long as you understand this truth, any gold ship, silver ship, earth ship and stone ship can actually be built, ha ha..."

The onlookers were confused and didn't understand what the two people said. But looking at Zhang yourong's face and words, everyone understood that Yan Liqiang woke up the world's first mechanism master just after a word, and let him understand the secret of building an iron ship. The dialogue between the two people was too high-energy for others, It's just like listening to those peerless experts discussing cultivation problems in riddles. Even if others listen, they are confused and don't know what they are talking about.

But even so, the people on the ship looked at Yan Liqiang with different eyes. There is no second person in the world who can guide the world's first mechanism master to create the mystery of the iron ship.

Just when everyone was secretly amazed on the ship, a voice suddenly occurred to the shore, far away, "is that hall leader Zhang of Qianji Hall of Lingshan Sect on the building ship in the river?" As soon as they heard it, they all looked at the place where the voice came from. They saw several figures standing on the edge of the window and looking at it. The one who spoke was an old man with extraordinary momentum and bright eyes. Yan Liqiang's eyes flashed directly at the old man and landed on the face of a beautiful woman next to the old man. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said in a loud voice, "it's sister Mo and a friend of Ming wangzong. If you don't dislike it, you can come to the building ship for a chat..." seeing Yan Liqiang provoked yourself at a glance, Mo ziye smiled at Yan Liqiang“ Hahaha... "Fengqinghe laughed," ziye, let's go... "As she said, fengqinghe had flown up from the restaurant like a big bird, stepped on the treetops by the river, and then directly stepped on the waves and rushed towards the building ship... Mo ziye's lightness skill cultivation was not up to this level, but she also had a way. She saw Mo ziye jump down from the restaurant, As soon as her foot stepped on the treetop and her hand shook, a tea cup was thrown out by her. The rotating cup fell on the water, first slightly sank, and then suddenly floated upward. When she just floated up, Mo ziye flew like a swallow. When her foot was a little on the tea cup, she jumped up again. When her body was about to fall, She threw out another cup. In this way, Mo ziye used the cup to borrow strength on the water and quickly rushed to the side of the building ship with the elder fengqinghe. The people around the river and the people watching the excitement shouted again and were very excited. Most people had only heard of this scene before. They didn't expect to see it in person today. Although Mo ziye's pace was a little slower, her movements were also natural and beautiful, and Mo ziye's long skirt was floating, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stayed our translation
