Chen Fang looked at the corpse on the beach, and asked the official brought by Wei Xue's son-in-law to carefully examine it again, confirming that it was drowned and that there were no other injuries on the body.

Chen Fang's fingers grabbed a handful of fine sand on the beach, and then lightly moved his hand, in the southeast direction, the waves rolled from here, it should be right.

But the sea is vast, and I hope to find something, even if I can't find a shipwreck or something, there is always something to gain.

Chen Fang stood by the sea, and Wei Xue's son-in-law stood respectfully behind him at this time.

Wu Meiniang had already asked the maid to take the princes and princesses back, and the drowning bodies were found on the beach, and several princes and princesses were no longer interested in frolicking.

Wu Meiniang said a few words to Concubine Shu and Zheng Jieyu, where Concubine Shu and Zheng Jieyu both looked at Chen Fang here.

Ying also left behind Chen Fang at this time, and Wei Xue's son-in-law looked at the person dressed as a palace eunuch and stepped aside.

"Master Horse, those people were killed by Master Horse last night! I looked at the edge of the knife, and it was the knife of the horseman. ”

"Yes, I killed it!"

"Is the master of the horse practicing knives?"

"Hmm!"

"If there is this kind of goods in the future, I will tell the master of the horse and let the master of the horse practice the knife."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Fang turned around and glanced at Ying, there was something in Ying's words, it seemed that it was not only the seven people who were eyeing Wu Meiniang and her party last night.

"Master Horse, the batch you killed last night is already the sixth batch of people that Niangniang has met since she came to Jiangnan."

Chen Fang's hand shook inadvertently, it seems that Wu Meiniang is really considered a big fat sheep, and there were guards from the forbidden army before, so she can naturally scare away any Xiaoxiao.

At this time, the forbidden army did not follow, and I didn't expect any ghosts and ghosts to come out.

"If there is such a thing in the future, leave it to me!"

Dingyu asked Chen Fang to practice knives with human lives, and it was naturally impossible for Chen Fang to kill innocents indiscriminately, but the people who were eyeing Wu Meiniang and his party were all bandits and water bandits from the south of the Yangtze River, and no matter how many of these people killed, the owner of Chen Dafang would not frown.

"Yes, as long as you encounter it, Ying will tell the horse master as soon as possible."

After Ying finished speaking, he retreated, and Chen Fang looked at the back of the chief eunuch who was guarding the heir, is this a gesture of goodwill?

Chen Fang stood on the beach for a long time, from the rising sun to the setting sun reflecting the sea in front of him.

Several batches of ships that went out to sea returned, but there was no news.

As time passes, the chances of finding any traces become less and less.

The sea will erase all possible traces, like a castle on the sand.

Chen Fang sighed, the sun was setting, and there was not much hope. After tonight, it is impossible to find any traces.

"My lord, my lord, we have found the shipwreck, and most of the ship has sunk on the rocks."

Chen Fang's eyes suddenly brightened, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and the person was in the dim light.

At this time, the night had already risen, Chen Fang asked people to light torches, two big boats, Wei Xue's son-in-law accompanied the horse master to go to sea together, and Dingyu also accompanied him to prevent accidents.

When they reach the sea, they can no longer see the shore, and ordinary people can only see the vast sky and water here, and they can't even argue the direction, not to mention that it is night at this time.

The name of the sea of stars is good, but it also makes people feel too confused, unable to see the way back, and there is no way back, let alone looking for a shipwreck that has hit the rocks.

And these old fishermen walking on the sea can find a place with experience, and Chen Fang doesn't know what to base it on, experience, the Big Dipper, the North Star. Fat Cat Literature Network

In the night, the tide rises and falls, the wind blows and rolls, and half of the shipwreck in front of me is shattered, and it is scattered on a black reef in the night.

The two boats approached, and the torches had already been handed to the horses, and Wei Xue's son-in-law accompanied the horses, holding the torches.

"Master Horse, this boat is so big, there is only half of it left, and there are about ten zhang."

"Lord Wei, let's take a look inside!"

There was nothing left in the ship, and the remaining half of the ship was badly damaged, and many of the cabins were badly damaged and deformed.

"Master Pony, why is this ship so strange?"

Wei Xuezi was very puzzled when he saw the isolation cabin structure of the hull.

Chen Fang sighed, this structure of dividing the cabin into large and small compartments was very common in later generations, especially warships.

Of course, in this era, this kind of structure is very few, it can be said that there is no at all, a large ship was originally few, to the Ming Dynasty, the treasure ship of the Western Ocean has a very large scale. And at this time, it is almost impossible for a 100-meter ship to appear.

Ordinary ships, the cabin is a large cabin, like this large and small isolation is impossible to see, at this time, obviously can only prove that the shipbuilding technology of the Northern Han Dynasty has been greatly ahead of this era.

This structure can make the hull stronger and more resistant to sinking, and the warships of later generations, even if they are damaged, are difficult to sink, and the motive device is intact and can go back on their own.

Chen Fang and Wei Xuezi looked carefully inside the hull, and suddenly some pipes appeared there, and in the center of the pipes, a huge steel giant like a boiler was parked in a specially reinforced cabin.

Chen Fang's hands trembled, and as expected, the power system of the ship of the Northern Han Dynasty was no longer manpower.

"Master Pony, what is this?"

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Wei Xue's son-in-law and the concubine walked over, and at this time, the two officials also came over and helped the concubine open the hatch of this strange thing.

Chen Xiang glanced inside, because it was shipwrecked, this thing was poured into it by seawater and extinguished the fire, so there were still remnants of it that had not burned out.

Chen Fang clasped it with his hand, it was a viscous grease-like thing, it was blubber.

Blublem is the fat layer of whales, and for a long time in later generations, whale fat was used as power fuel for ships, which also led to a large number of whales around the world being killed to obtain blubber.

It was not until the discovery of oil that blubber was slowly replaced.

At this time, the sea ships of the Northern Han Dynasty actually used blubber as fuel, which shows its advanced degree, which has shocked Chen Fang.

Everyone looked carefully in the ship again, and there was very little left in the ship, and the biggest gain was the boiler.

In the night, suddenly the half of the ship shook, and the sawdust flew overhead, and a few pieces of broken wood fell.

"Master Pony, let's get out quickly, this wrecked ship is about to disintegrate!"

Wei Xue's son-in-law hurriedly escorted the horse out of the half of the ship, and in the light of the torches, Chen Fang saw that the sea water was rising, and half of the Northern Han sea ship was no longer able to resist, and finally fell apart.

The fat-burning boiler in the power compartment was lying alone on the reef at this time, adding a color to the sea in the night that did not belong to this era.

"Lord Wei, can you find a way to haul this thing back?"

"Master Horse, our boat is too small to fit at all, and there is no big ship in Huating County that can accommodate this thing."

"Where in Jiangnan can there be a boat to tow this thing back to the coast?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to look elsewhere."

As soon as Wei Xue's son-in-law finished speaking, suddenly there was a loud bang on the side of the reef, and the huge fat-burning boiler suddenly tilted, and then rolled into the sea.
