Compared with the treasure ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, the displacement of the five Mulan boats in front of him is undoubtedly a little small, and the size of the fleet composed of five Mulan boats is even smaller than the size of the fleet that Zheng He took with him when he went to the Western Ocean.

But anyway, now with this fleet composed of five Mulan boats, it can already be regarded as a good start, plus Zhao Huan still has the complete "Yongle Canon" and "Interesting Illustration" in his head, as long as Zhao Huan is given enough time, it is not difficult to get the treasure ship fleet out.

Zhao Huan thought about the treasure ship while looking at the huge Mulan Boat in front of him, but finally couldn't help muttering: "It's a pity, I don't know when I will see the steel giant ship again." ”

"A steel ship?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhao Huan unconsciously muttered a word about the steel giant, and Li Guangyuan, the leader of the Quanzhou shipyard who accompanied Zhao Huan, was like being struck by lightning, and stood there stupidly and muttered: "Steel giant? If there really is a steel ship, then isn't he right? But how can this steel sail on the sea? ”

Seeing Chen Guangyuan's appearance, Zhao Huan couldn't help but ask curiously: "But I don't know who Chen Qing is talking about?" Could it be that someone else told Chen Qing about the steel giant? ”

Asked by Zhao Huan, Li Guangyuan suddenly came back to his senses, bowed down and said: "Qi Guan's family, the person the minister said is a scholar in Quanzhou City, and he is also the minister's son-in-law.

He once said that you can wrap the wood with steel, or even directly replace the wood with steel, and build the entire ship into a steel giant, not only not afraid of wind and waves, but also not afraid of the enemy attacking with fire.

It's just that when the minister asked him who could row this steel giant ship, he didn't know what to do, and Wechen had already reprimanded him many times. ”

"Go and bring him to me."

After casually commanding, Zhao Huan changed his mind and said, "Forget it, I'll go and see it myself." ”

……

When Zhao Huan saw Jiang Xinlong for the first time, Jiang Xinlong was running madly on the street, shouting as he ran: "I built an iron boat!" Iron Ship! I didn't use a little bit of wood for iron and lead! ”

As soon as Li Guangyuan saw Jiang Xinlong's appearance, and saw that his daughter was following Jiang Xinlong with an anxious face and shouting Xianggong, and the neighbors were also pointing at Jiang Xinlong's back, the anger in Li Guangyuan's heart suddenly stopped fighting, strode in front of Jiang Xinlong, suddenly slapped him, and said angrily: "Beast! You made a hammer to come out! ”

Li Guangyuan is from Sichuan, but now in a hurry, he even scolded the local voice, and Jiang Xinlong, who has always raked his ears, ate Li Guangyuan's slap, and the whole person was suddenly startled, and he raised his head and fell to the ground with a "ah" sound, but when he looked at it again, he had already fainted.

When Jiang Li saw his father-in-law faint, he was anxious, and he immediately didn't care about seeing his father, but knelt beside Jiang Xinlong and wiped his chest and pounded his vest, and kept calling Xianggong in his mouth, until Jiang Xinlong gradually came to his breath, and his eyes were not as loose as Fang Cai's before helping Jiang Xinlong to get up, and the two of them saluted Li Guangyuan, who was pale.

Li Guangyuan glared at Jiang Xinlong angrily, and didn't look away until Jiang Xinlong's heart was furious, and after snorting coldly, he hugged his fists around him and said: "The little son-in-law was rude for a while, which disturbed you, so I will make amends for him first." ”

Paying tribute to the neighbors around him, Li Guangyuan turned his head to look at Zhao Huan again, seeing that Zhao Huan was still smiling, he gradually relaxed his heart, turned his head and glared at Jiang Xinlong again, and shouted: "Go back to your house first, but the old man wants to see what you have made!" ”

"Boat! Iron Ship! An iron ship without a shred of wood! ”

As soon as he talked about the boat, Jiang Xinlong suddenly came to his senses, and even his fear of his father-in-law was alleviated a lot, and while leading the old man forward, he stretched out his hand and gestured: "Although the boat is not very big, it is also real iron and lead, and it can also hold a lot of things." ”

As soon as he heard Jiang Xinlong's words, Li Guangyuan suddenly sighed in his heart and asked, "Are you...... How much did you spend to build it? ”

"Five...... Five hundred. ”

Jiang Xinlong said cautiously: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law just made a spinning wheel a few days ago, and when the spinning wheel is sold, the son-in-law will have money, and he will definitely be able to build a bigger iron ship at that time." ”

However, Jiang Xinlong didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Li Guangyuan suddenly became angry, and he didn't even care that Zhao Huan was still not far behind him, and kicked Jiang Xinlong violently and scolded: "Build an iron ship!" If you don't have money, you toss something else, and if you make a little money, you will run to build an iron ship! Lao Tzu let you make it! ”

was kicked by his father-in-law, Jiang Xinlong didn't have the courage to refute it back, he just rubbed his buttocks at the moment, and muttered in a low voice, "Really, this time it was really made." ”

Li Guangyuan suddenly became even more angry, and scolded: "Last time, you also said that it was made, but in fact? The boat you built is not as big as the fishing boat, at best it is bigger than the iron pot, and it sank into the water, how big is the one you have built now? ”

"Now it's the size of a fishing boat."

Jiang Xinlong whispered: "Last time, I used too much iron, so I sank into the water." This time, there was less iron, not only could it float on the water, but it could also be loaded with three or five pieces of grain while standing on it. ”

"Two people? Three-five grains? ”

Li Guangyuan said angrily: "The Mulan Boat built by the old man, any one of them can't stand one hundred and ten?" If it is built bigger, like Kangji Boat and Tongji Boat, which one can't carry 2,000 Hu? ”

Jiang Xinlong said unconvinced: "That's different, the Mulan boat you built is made of wood, and the boat built by your son-in-law is iron, can this be the same?" Besides, the Mulan Boat can be built bigger, and the iron boat of the younger son-in-law can also be built bigger, maybe there are more things than the Mulan Boat. ”

Li Guangyuan snorted coldly, ignored Jiang Xinlong any longer, and didn't point to the boat floating on the water when the group came to the ditch in front of Jiangfu: "This is the iron boat you built?" If you make your iron boat as big as a Mulan boat, how many people will it take to row it? ”

Jiang Xinlong said: "The iron ship like this ship only needs two people to control, and if it is bigger, it may need more people to control it." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xinlong pointed to the outside of the boat and said: "The son-in-law has also been thinking about how to control it, so he simply abandoned the ship slurry and replaced it with this kind of impeller, even if the boat is made bigger, it can still use the impeller." ”

"Impeller?"

Li Guangyuan looked at the impellers on both sides of the boat like waterwheel wheels suspiciously, and finally couldn't help but rub his brows, and said angrily: "What's the use of this thing you made!" ”

It was not only Li Guangyuan who was confused, in fact, when he saw this kind of thing similar to the boat in the water park in the later generations, Zhao Huan was also confused, and he didn't even know how to complain for a while-

You say it's a boat, but it's almost zero of usefulness.

You say it's not a boat, but it's pretty ...... without considering speed and handling Playful.

But no matter how you look at it, this thing has nothing to do with the four words "multi-riveting steamed steel".
