Sean has been living at the Bess Corporation representative office in the Holy City for some time.

Sean hadn't seen bass since the last shooting competition.

During this time, Bess asked his housekeeper to send a property deed to Sean, but Sean did not accept it.

His staff and servants told Sean that Bess was busy with the rifle dismantling and shipping package manufacturing, and that he was not in the Holy City at all, but was running around several cities in the manufacturing center of Gyeonggi.

Bass disassembles each part of the rifle and looks for interested manufacturers to manufacture them separately, rather than completing all the parts by himself, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing costs.

What's more, these manufacturers are not all unknown, a considerable number of them have connections in the Executive Yuan and the Military Command Department, and Bess wants to use these connections to help, so that Bess Type 1830 rifled guns can have a better chance of winning in future military rifle bidding.

If the bass rifled gun was the only winner, it would be the best.

None of this had anything to do with Sean, as he was leaving the Holy City in a few days and returning home.

Before leaving the Holy City, Sean visits Professor Palmer again and bids him farewell.

"Sean, I wish you could settle in the Holy City for a long time, so that I can hear your high opinions every day. ”

As soon as they met, Palmer happily patted Sean on the shoulder.

"I hope you don't think I'm crazy or even want to burn me as a 'heretic'. Sean grumbled.

Palmer laughed:

"Sean, do you know that many scholars in the Holy City are studying the blood types of animals now, and it's hard to imagine that a few days ago, they still thought that blood transfusions between their own species were fanciful, and some even called it 'heretical'. I heard that the patrol corps of the Holy City has received dozens of reports of people claiming that they have seen people buying live animals in large quantities, especially dogs, and that there are terrible wizards at work. There are even rumors that the wizard's name is Sean. If it weren't for His Royal Highness Philip's personal testimony, the patrol would probably have searched the whole city for the guy named Sean. ”

"Haha. Sean smiled, "Fortunately, His Highness testified for me, otherwise I would have been a guest on the patrol." ”

Palmer put away his smile: "Sean, as an elder, I really hope that you can stay and come to our Holy City University as a professor. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chancellor, for your kindness. Sean said, "I just have some inspiration, and if I am asked to do research, I'm afraid it will disappoint you." Moreover, I did not have a formal education, which was not enough to support me in research. ”

At this time, Sean decisively hid it.

"Sean's inspiration? I have a hunch that there will be major discoveries in the study of blood groups. Your inspiration can always be seen in the clouds, and when you look back, it makes people take it for granted, but no one can think of it before you click on it. That's what you're worth!" Palmer nodded, "Sean, I won't advise you anymore, but you're always welcome at Quds University. I hope that while you are far away from the Holy City, I will still hear 'Sean's inspiration' appear in the newspapers from time to time. ”

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Sean said.

Bidding farewell to Principal Palmer, Sean rode down the street.

When passing by an intersection, he saw a woman talking to a patrol officer to the effect that her dog had been stolen, but the patrol officer said that such a trivial matter was not his business, and said that this kind of thing has been seen so much lately that even the stray dogs have disappeared.

Shaun, the initiator, felt that this had nothing to do with him, and turned the corner to see a young man on horseback looking at him curiously, the white steed Sean was very familiar with, and had been fostered in a convent for a while.

Princess Elizabeth was dressed as a man, although at a glance she could tell that she was a daughter.

"Your Highness Princess!" Sean said in surprise.

"Shhhhhhh

"I'm sorry Your Highness, I was surprised. It's not very safe on the streets. Sean explained.

"Hmph, I have this. The princess patted herself on the waist, and a pistol peeked out from the inside of her coat.

It seems that the princess often leaves the palace without permission, and she is familiar with it. But the flintlock pistol of this era does not necessarily come in handy in a critical moment.

Sean shrugged, and the princess asked, "Mr. Connery, where are you going?"

Sean asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

"I think you're bored, and I happen to be bored, so why don't we have some fun together?" said the princess, trying to pretend to be a very worldly person.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I still have something to do. Sean pretended to glance at his pocket watch, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving." See you soon!"

Sean slapped his horse away, but the princess followed closely behind. Sean can't ride a horse on the street, this belongs to the basic law of the city, otherwise the patrol at every street corner will immediately appear in front of him.

Sean stopped and said, "Your Highness, if this is not the case, we will make an agreement on three laws." As long as you promise me, I'll take you there and let you have a less boring day. ”

"What three?" asked the princess.

"The first rule is to listen to me no matter what, and the second is not to disobey me under any circumstances. Sean said, "I don't want you to have any accidents, especially since you met me before you had an accident." ”

"You're a treacherous man. The princess pouted, "And what about the third?"

"The third rule is, if you can't remember, repeat the first two. Sean said seriously.

"You ......," the princess was so happy that she smiled like a flower, this is her most youthful season, "I promise you." ”

Sean took Princess Elizabeth out of the city on horseback and headed for the Otera River crossing.

Arriving at the ferry, we ran a little upstream along the embankment, and after crossing the busy section of the river, a boat stopped at the trestle by the river.

Andrew Johnson is putting the finishing touches on his improved steamboat. A guy with glasses saw Sean coming, and hurriedly greeted him, took off his hat and said:

"Dear Mr. Connelly, welcome. ”

This is the lawyer hired by Sean, who is responsible for the paperwork of the propeller invention patent and supervises the whole process.

"Hello, Attorney Shervin. Sean nodded.

Lawyer Sherwin glanced at Elizabeth, and although he saw through at a glance that she was a female, he wisely turned a blind eye:

"Mr. Connery, as you can see now, your partner, Mr. Johnson, is working on a trial production of a new water propulsion system in accordance with the terms of the contract, and I sent you yesterday to review all the recent expenditures and future budgets, I wonder if you have read it?"

Sean nodded and said with a smile, "I watched." Thank you, Mr. Lawyer, for your meticulous work, I am satisfied, I am leaving the Holy City, and I will add a commission to support your future supervision until the patent application is completed. ”

Hearing this, Attorney Sherwin smiled, "Thank you Mr. Connelly for your generosity, it is my honor to serve a talented and generous employer like you." Rest assured that every shilling you make will be spent. You'll make it!"

"Thank you for your good words!"

Lawyer Sherwin complimented him and took his leave.

As soon as the lawyer left, the princess jumped on the steamboat before Sean did, and jumped around the deck like an elf in a legendary tale.

It was something she hadn't experienced before, and she complained that she had grown so big that she hadn't even been on a boat once.

Poor child, but a child who is the envy of the vast majority of people.

Sean didn't bother to pay attention to her, but he didn't dare to let her out of his sight, so he had to wait for Johnson to climb out of the bilge.

"Hey, Sean, who's this?"

Johnson climbed out of the bilge, his face and shirt covered in carbon black.

"Hello, Mr. Johnson, my name is Ina!" replied the princess, using a pseudonym and not her last name.

Johnson thought the voice was very good, and the people were very beautiful, especially in the clothes of a woman and a man, and there was an indescribable beauty.

He cast a meaningful gaze at Sean, who shrugged, "You just treat her as a little tail, leave her alone." ”

"You're the little tail. The princess said in a coquettish voice.

Sean automatically ignored her innate coquettish behavior and discussed the prototype of the propeller with Johnson.

The principle of the propeller, Sean said, Johnson didn't seem to understand, and he couldn't describe the scientific principle from a mathematical or mechanical point of view, but he just thought it was probably possible.

The only convincing thing is that this shape is used in a cylindrical spiral water lift in Europa's agricultural production. That kind of water lifter, or manpower pump, installs multiple blades on the rotating shaft, and each blade has a certain angle of attack to generate lift, just like an electric fan blowing, as soon as the rotating shaft rotates, the water is sent from the low to the high.

Since the spiral can pump water, it should also be able to push water to do work. Depending on the action and reaction forces, when the paddle pushes the water back, it gets a forward force.

Their approach was to experiment, initially with wooden ones, and soon Johnson discovered that more spirals were not always better.

Today's spirals are made of iron, and the screws are shortened to create a variety of shapes to test the best form.

One of the shapes is the "Guan Dao type", which is Sean's idea, and he explains that Guan Dao is a person's name, and as for the angle between the blade and the screw, Sean does not know.

Johnson didn't bother with the quirky name, and now has one of them installed, and he's tested a lot of them before that.

The steam engine had been warmed up for an hour, and Johnson exclaimed:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our warship is about to set sail!"

"Wait!" said the princess curiously.

"What's wrong?" Johnson didn't understand.

"Don't you have a name for this steamship?" asked the princess, and without waiting for Johnson to reply, "I decided that the ship should be called the Princess Elizabeth, and so decided." ”

Johnson originally wanted to say that this ship had a name, but when he saw Sean's eyes, he said helplessly: "Okay!"

He didn't realize he was in the royal family.

The Princess Elizabeth shook with a rumbling sound, and the new ship, which was less than 10 meters long, finally began her maiden voyage.

"It's open, it's open!"

The princess stood at the bow of the boat and shouted with joy, a sound of joy that made both men smile. But Sean was still worried that she would suddenly fall into the river.

Johnson operated the steamship calmly, and it was not until he gradually overtook the ordinary galleons in front of him that he excitedly shouted:

"It's the best I've ever built, it's really workable, and it's as powerful as a galloping horse. I believe that this is far from her best condition, if it is replaced by a big ship made of steel, the transmission efficiency will be higher, she will definitely be better!"

"Congratulations, Captain Johnson!"

"Congratulations too, Wizard Shaun, your genius inspiration is truly priceless. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Johnson was so excited to steer the steamer, Sean had to fill the hearth with coal, and the princess was even more excited, and she rushed to fill the coal, blackening her face.

The steamship, with no sails, sailed like an arrow on the Otera, and she was too small to move nimbly through the busy waterways, gradually attracting the attention of passing ships.
