Chapter 118
Zhang Xian took Er Qin to Chang Wei's house, and he arrived as a businessman.
But unsurprisingly, they were kept out of the door.
"My master has not seen any guests for three years, and if you are talking about business, go to the shipyard, where someone will receive you. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xian didn't bring gifts, the old housekeeper had a good attitude, and it is said that when Liu Chengqian and them came, the old housekeeper immediately pulled down his face when he saw them with gifts, and unceremoniously drove them away.
It seems that this often madman has a lot of personality.
"Oh, we were recommended by Fanqin Island outside the staff, not in the ship business, but there is a drawing that interests the ship king, and I want him to appraise it. ”
Zhang Xian smiled and said to the old housekeeper.
In fact, Zhang Xian and the others have not been to Fanqin Island, nor have they seen Yu Yuanwai, but he heard from Emperor Xianyue that Taiyuan is very famous, and he wants to see Chang Maniac, so he has to move out of this great honor.
"Isn't Yu Yuanwai seriously ill and bedridden for a long time?
Counting what Emperor Xianyue said about Yu Yuanwai, I am afraid that he is hundreds of years old now, and he may not be able to say if he is not alive, but Zhang Xian said this, in fact, it is vague, if what Emperor Xianyue said is gone, then his descendants should still be there, such a big family, the successor should also be called Outside, so there will be no accidents, and the lie will not be exposed.
"We didn't see Yu in person, but we got a verbal recommendation. ”
Zhang Xian didn't know what the old housekeeper's intentions were, or if this sentence was a trap to prove whether Zhang Xian was lying, but he wouldn't follow the old housekeeper's words, and replied with a middle-of-the-road position.
I haven't seen Yu Yuanwai himself, so I don't know what state he is, in fact, this is normal, Yu Yuanwai is much more than a regular crazy cow, not everyone can see it, and he may get a verbal recommendation, then this person is also very face-saving.
The housekeeper of the often crazy man, and even the often crazy man himself did not dare to say that he wanted a recommendation written by the outside of the staff, so whether someone pulled the tiger skin, only they could judge.
But there's no need to be serious.
You often see madmen when they meet, and if you don't want to see them, forget it, but a word outside the staff still has weight, and this face still has to be given.
As for whether Yu Yuanwai finally knew that there was no face in the world, there was no major event, there was no turmoil, I am afraid that people would have forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and no one would go to the bottom of it.
Go to verify.
The old butler groaned slightly:
"Can you bring me the drawings to the master?"
Zhang Xian shook his head.
The old butler hesitated.
"Then wait a minute. ”
The old butler turned and asked his master for instructions.
Erqin is a little impatient:
"Childe, let's just go and get him out. ”
"Rest easy. ”
Zhang Xian was sure that the king of the boat, Chang Madman, would definitely see him.
Beat the snake and hit the seven inches, and control the people to take the pulse.
He believed that the Ship King must be interested in his drawings.
Otherwise, he would not be called the king of the ship, Zhang Xian took Chang Wei's obsession with shipbuilding, someone took the drawings to find him, it must be related to the ship, if you give him the drawings of the car, then wouldn't it be nothing to look for.
After waiting for a while, the old butler hurried out.
"The host was invited. ”
The old housekeeper led Zhang Xian and the three of them into the compound, and there were all kinds of ship models everywhere in the courtyard, which were dazzling.
came to the living room, Zhang Xian looked at it slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
The living room of the house is full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, but the living room of the king of the ship, the wall is full of drawings, some are painted with animal skins, some are rough paper, but there are also a lot of valuable parts of the royal rice paper, these rice papers seem to be obtained from the Qin State of the Xianyue Continent, or maybe there is a big empire in the depths of the ocean, and the papermaking technology is more advanced.
"What drawings do you have for me?"
is different from what he imagined, Chang Maniac is not a workaholic with unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes, but quite elegant, wearing a white robe and clear eyebrows. Fit and fit.
"Yes, draw it yourself under the next, and ask the king of ships to look at it. ”
Zhang Xiann's mind moved, and there was an extra scroll in his hand, his action did not cause any surprise from the ship king and his housekeeper, it seems that people are knowledgeable, and they have seen a lot of things like storage magic weapons, so they are not surprised.
Seeing the drawings, the boat king was slightly out of shape, stepped forward and grabbed it, put it on the table and unfolded it, but left Zhang Xian and the three of them there.
The old housekeeper apologized, and Zhang Xian shook his head without showing displeasure.
"The king of ships is a man of temperament. ”
Unexpectedly, the king of the ship plunged into the drawings and did not look up for a quarter of an hour.
The old housekeeper had long known that this would be the case, so he invited Zhang Xian and the three of them to sit down and serve fruit points.
"Ah, that, that who, you come here. ”
It seemed that the ship king's behavior was very rude, but Zhang Xian did not complain, he knew that the ship king should be such a temperament, so he stood up and stood up beside the ship king.
"Sorry, I don't know your last name. ”
The ship king straightened his waist and turned his head to look at Zhang Xian.
"I despise the bow and Changzhang, and the cheap name is Yuanyi. ”
"Oh, Brother Yuan Yi, can you explain this picture to me. ”
"Hehe, this is a steam engine, a diagram of a power machine for large ships and even large cars. ”
"Huh?"
The Ship King didn't understand.
"If you build such a machine, the most basic, that is, the smallest model, can power thousands of people. ”
"Oh?"
In other words, the machine was installed on a ship, which could save as little as 3,000 sailors to drive the ship. ”
"So how do you get him moving?"
Then Zhang Xian wasted a lot of tongues to explain it, and the king of the ship went from being at a loss at the beginning to being bright at the end, and he had a feeling and began to enter the game.
In this way, the two of them talked about the westward direction of the sun, and if it weren't for the housekeeper's reminder, neither of them felt hungry.
"Black gold, that is, the coal you said, there are a lot of them on Fanqin Island, because it is poisonous to burn, so no one dares to use it, are you sure it has such a great effect, and it can solve the problem of poisoning?"
"Sure. ”
"Okay, come on, Brother Yuanyi, brother is happy today, accompany me for a few drinks. ”
The king of the ship has not been drunk for several years, just because the knot in his heart that he is proud of has not moved, if the steam engine that Zhang Xian said is really made, this knot will be untied, and he will naturally be happy.
In this wasteland, the machinery is still in the stage of manufacturing organs, generally as a source of power machinery, most of them use rune arrays, and use spirit crystals and some raw materials with aura as the source force, this kind of rune array machinery that relies on priceless treasures as the source of power, can not afford to use it at all, those super families, do not dare to say that they can afford to use, they are generally used as defensive formations, these formations do not run all the time, they only run when they are touched, and they have to stop immediately after the event, and they can't afford to burn the money.
And Zhang Xian knew more advanced fuel machinery, but he knew that it was a miracle that a primary steam engine could be made here, and the source power of the steam engine could be seen everywhere, and the people here considered it a toxic waste of coal.
The cost of the source force is low.
Successful can be promoted.
Because the Zhang family workshop did not have a senior technician for casting, Zhang Xian did not plan to let them try.
Chang Wei, the king of ships, is known as a maniac, he is interested in anything strange and strange except for his obsession with shipbuilding, and in modern times, he should be an inventor.
He studies everything and tries to do it.
There are various workshops in his shipyard, so Zhang Xiancai gave him the idea of trying to make a steam engine, but considering the difficulty of manufacturing, he gave him the simplest drawings of a horizontal bar rocker reciprocating steam engine.
Zhang Xian is here to let the ship king try to make it, and he also has his concerns, he doesn't want to show some advanced technologies that should not appear in this world in Xia Kingdom for the time being, because Xia Kingdom's current national strength is still too fragile to withstand the toss.
Once the ship king was successfully manufactured, he used the experience of the boat king to facilitate the Zhang family workshop to start manufacturing.
He felt that by that time, the Xia Kingdom should have risen.
He planned to set up an experimental base in the depths of the ocean, where some of the technologies of his past life that he could remember were slowly developed.
It was just an idea he had on the fly.
"How long do you think this steam engine can be used for real use?"
Zhang Xian asked during the drink.
"It's not immeasurable yet, but I'll start doing it myself tomorrow, and as long as the first parts are made and assembled smoothly, I'm sure to get it moving as soon as possible. ”
"It seems that you have a lot of confidence. ”
Zhang Xian took out his special wine and poured it for the boat king, and the two of them drank it all.
"Good wine!"
How can it be bad, this wine Zhang is reluctant to take it out, in addition to the side effects of not being able to control the amount of drinking, that is, he really doesn't have much stock of this wine.
"Brother Yuan Yi, you can stay here, and you can guide me at any time. ”
"No, I'm going to Shan Beng Island, I have important things to do. ”
"Oh. ”
When the boat king heard that Zhang Xian couldn't stay, his mood was a little low.
"Hehe, I'm just theoretical, that is, on paper, you are the real creator, so let's go back and pass by here, and prepare a few pictures for you, all of which are of interest to you. ”
"Great!"
In the end, Zhang Xian asked him to help repair the Black Shark, and the ship king readily agreed.
In addition, he also gave Zhang Xian a detailed introduction to the situation on Shanbang Island, and the information provided was very detailed.
"I'll ask you again if you've ever heard of a place with the word Rakshasa on it. ”
"Rakshasa ......?...... It seems that I have heard of a Rakshasa country, but it is too far away, there is the United States and the Philippines continent thousands of miles away in the west, there are many small countries there, among which there is a Rakshasa country, but this is all legends, after all, it is very far away from here, and there is a forbidden land in the middle, it is said that in the forbidden land, there is a huge whirlpool, no matter anything, once it is close, it will be swallowed. ”
"That's right. ”
Zhang Xian had a conjecture in his heart: "Could it be that the disaster of the Rakshasa clan is because of the sudden appearance of this ocean whirlpool?"
The next day, Zhang Xian asked Liu Chengqian to drive the ship into the shipyard.
It will take some time for the Black Shark ship to be repaired, and Zhang Xian and his party have to stay on Cloud Island.
This morning, Zhang Xian was about to go up the mountain to play, when he suddenly ......
