Therefore, even if outsiders know the layout of the spring crossbow, there are few people in the world who can create it, and as long as we don't create more, it won't spread quickly. ”

Most of the people present had gone through a severe wake-up call, and the secrets of the shipyard must not be told to outsiders, even the closest people, so they reiterated it again at this time, and then went to the shipyard to see the renovated "steamer".

At the same time as the development of the spring crossbow, the shipbuilders of all parts of the country were not idle, and the new ship of the round into a refit was about to unveil the veil of mystery. In fact, everyone present once knew the inside story, and today the first thing is to show Xuanyuan Po and Wang Ningzhi, the two important shipyards, serious people and "shareholders", that the Xie sisters are unexpected guests.

The new ship was converted from an elongated stern fighting ship. The so-called "shipwrecks were specially used to ram the enemy's assault boats, with sharp horns at both ends and iron sheets to break through the enemy's ships; the hull of the ship was covered with raw cowhide to guard against the enemy's bows and arrows and fire attacks; many small windows were opened on both sides of the ship's cabin to be used to fire guns and arrows outward; large oars stretched out on both sides of the hull, and all the seamen and soldiers hid in the cabin. It can be said that the stern fighting ship was a water tank vehicle of the Chen Dynasty at that time.

The round modification simply dispensed with all the big oars, and installed four oars under the boat, and in the cabin two people pedaled in groups to drive the oars to rotate, a total of eight people pedaled the boat, which was half the number of people who originally rowed the oars.

Yuancheng also does not know in which dynasty the paddle boat appeared, anyway, the casting technology in this era has been extremely developed, casting ball bearings is still difficult, creating some double-ring sliding bearings is An Ruo Taishan, the most important technology to create the oar has been solved, and others are no longer a problem.

Yuancheng explained the rules and good things to everyone one by one: in view of the fact that there are many paddles on a wheel, the area of paddling can be effectively increased and the effectiveness is improved; the wooden paddle paddling is the law of using laborious levers, and the power cannot be fully exerted, and the paddle can be exerted except for the small loss between the transmission mechanism; every part of the effort can be exerted; the use of wooden oars is large, and the boat does not pass smoothly in a narrow place, and the space in the cabin is also large, and there are many people necessary, and the sound of paddling is very loud。。。。。。

After Yuancheng finished speaking, an order was given, and the eight craftsmen stepped on the handle together, and the boat moved its hands, and then faster and faster, galloped out of the iron gate of the shipyard, and galloped from the river to the sea.

It was better than meeting the ocean, and the eight people worked together to rush the ship against the wind and waves, and pulled out a long waterline behind it, which was faster than the sailing ship downwind. After a turn, he galloped back, going upstream, although the pedaling man was a little difficult, the speed was still good, eliminating the long wooden oars sticking out on both sides, more like a tank car.

"This is only the first test boat, and this mechanism can also be mounted on a sailboat and used with sails to speed up against the wind, a larger water wheel can be installed on a building boat and pulled by several oxen in a circle, and a water wheel can be used with a wooden oar for the fastest rush to the edge of the enemy ship。。。。。。 ”

Everyone sang praises, and Xuanyuan Po said: "The public is an unprecedentedly strange ship, whether it is military or civilian, it is convenient and agile, and it can be called the biggest Ding Ge of this dynasty!

Yuan Cheng said with a smile: "I haven't figured out what to call it yet, so it's better for Brother An Shi to choose the name." "Xuanyuan Po's reputation is a scoundrel, and he has to find something to give him a sense of achievement.

"This ship rotates like a car, why don't you call it a 'car boat'?"

Wang Ningzhi said: "The speed of this ship is famous for Sun Shanyi, and I think it is better to call it a 'Thousand Miles Boat'." ”

Yuan originally wanted to call it a steamer, but the two "famous" figures were named, and they went, and in the future, it was officially called a car and a boat, and the folk called it a thousand miles boat.

Xuanyuan Po asked, "When will this car and ship be made public?"

"This is not busy, at present, we will build a few for our own use, and we must keep a complete mouth to the outside world, even if we create a large number of them in the future, they will have to be used as confidential equipment for Wang Xie's two personal soldiers, and they must not be used as a last resort. In addition, I also want to improve the construction of the hull, such as the tenon joint of bamboo and wood, although it is good, the hull can not withstand the fierce impact, and the tenon joint must be combined with iron nails to be solid, and so on, the real supply is only afraid that it will be a year and a half later. ”

Yuancheng transformed the ship, the first thing is to use it for himself, and making money is only the second step, so he didn't want to sell it too early. After everyone got off the boat, they chatted for a while, Xuanyuan Po, Wang Ningzhi and others were about to say goodbye and go back, while Yuancheng and others sent them out of the gate and planned to board the car.

Xuanyuan Changqing just praised the new ship a few times, and didn't say much, and was about to get in the car and leave, when he suddenly ran back, "Brother Zhou, Sister Rourou, can I take on a position in the boat yard like the third uncle and brother-in-law?"

She seemed to have mustered the courage for a long time, her face was flushed, but her eyes were very reserved.

Yuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, what can this delicate lady Ling Do? Could it be that she ran to the shipyard for the sake of pinching words in the future?

There was a pleading look on her face, "I。。。。。。 I can help you with bookkeeping, housekeeping, embroidery, and stuff like that, but I'm going to do a lot of things, and I'm suffocating all day at home. ”

Xuanyuan Changqing will not necessarily do this, and there is no need for her to intervene in the shipyard, she has no intention of burying her head in wine. Yuancheng once shirked and made her die, but Feng Qingxue said: "It's rare that the second lady is so hot, Xianggong, you can assign a position to her." ”

Yuan Cheng didn't expect Feng Qingxue to agree, and now he couldn't shirk it, but Xuanyuan Evergreen was like a princess, full of vases, where would he do anything? He looked at Xuanyuan Po, and then at Wang Ningzhi, they all looked at him with a smile. "Well, you should be the face of the shipyard. ”

Xuanyuan Changqing was overjoyed, his face seemed to glow, he turned around and ran, ran a few steps and stopped, "What is an image spokesperson?"

Yuan Cheng really didn't know how to show her such a fashionable word, "It's hard that your image and reputation represent the shipyard, and the shipyard is proud of your reputation。。。。。。 Anyway, only celebrities and beauties can be image spokespersons, and you are all in line. ”

Xuanyuan Changqing left excitedly, making most people unaware of this.

"Rou'er, how can you promise her?"

"If you don't agree to her, I don't know how sad she should be when she goes back! Alas, why was she born in the Xie family, or she was a person from Kuangdai。。。。。。
