748 Great Progress in Science and Technology (4)

It is said that when I learned the meaning of the imperial court, the first thought that came to my mind was, 'The person who came up with this idea must be a lord who is very good at living!' Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of such an idea of recycling.

But at least I've always been worried that I don't have a shipbuilder in my hands, so even if I want to build a large number of steam-powered 'outer ships', I don't have enough manpower!

Now, the imperial court directly gave me a lot of extra-large ships. Although the purpose is to let me transform. But with such a luxurious appearance, it's okay for me to detain one or two of them!

When the time comes, it will be enough to renovate it and then use it as a sea vessel!

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on my part. Later, after asking the shipbuilders, I learned that the sea ships were completely different from the boats in the canal. Although these dragon ships are even larger than the average sea boat. However, both the bottom design and the shape of the ship are all prepared for smooth navigation in the canal. If this thing is put in the sea, it is estimated that it will flip directly when it encounters a small wind and waves...... Besides, this kind of boat is almost flat-bottomed......

Because it was too large, I could only call out the mandarin and the duck to work together to temporarily place these boats on Xiaoyu's site outside the mall.

Anyway, these ships are so big that they can't fit in the warehouse! And because it has been left on land for too long, the hull has suffered various damages in many places. This includes damage from cracking and crushing. So even if this thing is given to me, I have to ask a craftsman to repair it before I can continue to enter the water. Not to mention that it had to be converted into a 'steamship'. I guess the amount of work alone is enough for me to work for a long time.

However, perhaps the imperial court did not want these oversized ships to be wasted before handing them over to me for 'waste utilization'!

I also asked the people in the Ministry of Industry why such a good ship had been idle for so long, and it was even about to break down. As a result, it was learned that this kind of 'dragon boat' was originally used exclusively by the emperor of the previous dynasty. By now, the only person who can withstand this kind of ship status is the current Majesty. However, the emperor Li Shimin did not have the interest of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty. I like to use this kind of ship, even if it is a waste of money to operate. That's why it was ordered to be converted into a ship for other purposes. But this type of ship is too big. Even if you remove the dragon head mark on the bow of the boat. Removed the dragon scale-shaped decorations on the hull. However, the design of the ship is too large, and the ship cannot be used for other purposes at all. After all, it can't be powered by the extremely slow flow of water and wind in the canal. You can't paddle, you can only walk with a slender man. When used for loading, the storage capacity is very impressive. However, it requires more manpower to run when it is full. Therefore, the people of the Ministry of Industry have been studying for several years, but they have not thought of ways to make use of these big ships. Unless the wood is dismantled for other purposes, or used directly as firewood.

It is precisely because of this that after learning of my plan, they directly cheapened me and handed over these 'chicken-ribbed' big ships to me to deal with.

It was only when I took one out of the boat and put it in the academy that the craftsmen told me that this damaged ship must be repaired and maintained by a special craftsman before it could be used again, otherwise it would be a matter of the cracked and damaged bottom of the ship in front of me. Even if this thing is equipped with a steam engine and a gas wheel, it will not be able to enter the water.

For this reason, I searched all the shipyards around Luoyang, Chang'an, and barely learned that the shipyards and merchants who could repair such ships were left farther along the coast except for Jiangnan during the previous dynasties. After all, this kind of ship is so big that if you want to repair it, you have to use special wood. When the previous dynasty built this kind of dragon boat, it was very expensive. And those extraordinarily large shipyards also fell down together after the previous dynasty was overthrown. After all, there is no need to build such a large ship later. Today's shipyards and craftsmen only make ordinary cargo ships or pleasure boats. Even slightly larger cargo ships have to travel farther along the coast. Although it is said that the shipyards in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River can also make similar large ships. But listen to what the well-informed Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an City said. Even the shipyard there has no way to make such a large ship and no wood.

It was because of this troublesome thing that I could only ask for Aunt Cui of the Cheng family again. At least there is a lot of information from the Qinghe Cui clan. I got a specific address from there. It is in a coastal city called Fuzhou in the 'Tang Jiangnan East Road' that there are craftsmen who can repair this giant dragon boat. I heard that those craftsmen are the disciples and descendants of the craftsmen who built these dragon boats in the Jiangnan shipyard back then.

So I had no choice but to put away the dragon boat again and prepare to sail the wooden kite for another long trip. Go to Fuzhou to find the craftsmen.

Fortunately, I now have sufficient funds and gold reserves, and I am not leaving the Datang border this time. So there should be no danger in this journey. I heard that those enemies who have been threatening me should not easily appear in the territory of Datang. Niangziguan was just an accident. After all, whether it is the Hidden World Sect or the official of the Tang Dynasty, they all treat the people of the Hidden Spirit Sect as the enemy of life and death. As long as they dare to appear in the territory of Datang, they will be surrounded and suppressed in many ways.

However, when I said goodbye everywhere and was about to leave Chang'an City for a while~ After all, the road is far away. Plus there is no time to repair the ship. So I said hello everywhere and told them where I was! After all, I'm not a civilian anymore. Not only has the position and title of the imperial court. Or the dean of the college and the head of the shopping street!

Before leaving, I didn't just leave a dragon boat for the academy people to use as a reference, and asked them to think of a way to build a suitably sized 'waterwheel roller' and a steam engine with the main power. If it goes well, when I bring the repaired ship back, I can use the equipment they have already made to assemble the ship. Anyway, the large shapes of these dragon boats are similar. And as the driving wheel of the ship, it is also a thing with no technical content. It's just that the ship's steam engine is a little more laborious to manufacture~ Oh yes, and the cockpit also needs to be modified to the kind of device that can control the roller windmill.

Also, I left them a 'homework'! While I'm away, let them hurry up and study the practical way of this new and powerful steam engine. Putting such a good 'artifact' but not finding a practical way makes me a little violent and a little overpowered! After all, the use of this thing by future generations has set off a real 'industrial revolution' of great scientific and technological progress! I don't want these people to develop the steam engine to such an amazing extent, then at least we have to work out more practical ways!

"Hmmm! It is better to increase the output of mining by the way. As long as you have enough iron, the problem of the railway will be solved! I silently analyzed it in my heart. This railway has become my demon now...... Who would have thought that this thing would be produced in an era when iron production is so scarce. It's just a luxury and doesn't work!

I've been looking forward to it for so long......

In addition to these, it is for those researchers to work hard to learn new knowledge while researching. For this reason, in addition to taking out all the textbooks for the new semester, I also transferred Dacao, who had been busy making money and filming films, back to the teacher for a while.

However, the academy is not so good. It seems that the annual freshman thing that I envisioned will not be able to be implemented for the time being. I can't find enough teachers! And there is not enough energy to arrange for those researchers to continue to teach part-time teachers to train students.

It is said that since the people of the eleven schools have been attracted by the new knowledge, they have not caused trouble for the academy at all. However, they did not put their minds on educating the students, although according to the agreement, they still taught the students all the knowledge in their school according to the process. But the most these people do now is to desperately learn and absorb new knowledge!

And although the advertisements that have been used to recruit talents and students are still playing, the people who have been called to apply are too bad. It seems that without the support of the imperial court, even if you want to gather students and teachers, it will be difficult. Most of those who came to apply turned out to be fools and liars. And there is no one who is really capable. Not even a single reader who has the heart and patience to learn first and is a teacher has not been met. It seems that the knowledge of the academy has not yet received public recognition!

But on the other hand, after I was transferred back to the college to teach, she gave me a report on the results of the recent period. This girl has not only shot a lot of various short films, but also held a popular idol with big flowers and small flowers. It's this guy who has taught several competent 'directors' and 'screenwriters', and has also cultivated talents who are in a team, especially those who shoot films! In addition to editing, no one has learned it, whether it is shooting with a camera or various lighting and recording work, even the drama and prop masters have trained and taught enough people.

It can be said that these people can make and shoot ordinary films even in the absence of Dacao. Of course, the editing thing has not yet been cultivated to teach one. But he found another way to practice the technique of 'one shot to the end' when filming! In this way, it is perfectly fine to copy the captured footage directly to the mobile disk and then project it on the projector. I even saw a few short films specially made by these people, and even the performance of the whole 'Qin King Breaking Array Music' was recorded from a perfect angle.

Dacao is really a talent for cultivating models! Not only did she enlighten the faculty of the academy, but she also trained a whole team of filmmakers...... I simply admire this girl so much! He is my number one disciple!

Oh yes! Speaking of the 'disciple', I found that although Dacao has been away from me for a long time, she has always been able to contact Mandarin Duck and Mandarin Duck through her and the space that has been specially opened for her outside the mall. So many of the devices were given to her by Mandarin and Duck. It's a pity that such a convenient skill can only be mastered by Dacao, and my other maids, including Xiaoling, who is closest to me, can't do it. I don't know why! Otherwise, I can contact all my family members remotely!

After arranging the things here, I just wanted to get up and leave Chang'an, and hurried to complete the big thing of repairing the ship. But when I said goodbye to everyone, I was entangled by several people, not to mention that I was also traveling this time, and I wanted to travel with me to the distant 'Jiangnan East Road'!

Including the most honorable eldest princess of Datang, Xiao Lizhen, a group of princesses and princes composed of a 'fan group'! They have all heard the stories of their 'idols'. Think it's a comfortable trip to go out with me. And last time, Xiao Lizhi also went to the grassland. When I came back, I bragged to the other princes and princesses! So this time, I learned that I was going to travel a long distance again to Gangnam Dongdao. That's why these people are pestering me and they have to go with me!

Having said so much, the princess pestered me and threatened me~ I really can't support it! This time, there is a little kid prince named 'Li Zhi' in it. Although this little guy is only about four years old, he is very pestering Xiao Li. And~ What I care about even more is that this guy's name is called 'Li Zhi'!

Although this kid is just a little kid prince now. And today's Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still called Li Chengqian. But I still know that the person who finally becomes the emperor should be this milky little kid! So, this is a big thick leg that hasn't grown up yet! I've got to hold on to it......

I've been thinking about hugging this kid's thighs for a long time. But this kid is so young, I guess he has just been born when I first crossed over. That's why it's only now that I've seen this little kid for the first time!

But when I thought of the first time I saw Xiao Meiniang, that is, a bigger and thicker big thick leg in the future, the little girl was only four years old! But at that time, I was already concentrating on pleasing this girl. Now that I have met the emperor Li Zhi before her, then I can't let it go!

It is for this reason that it is in mind. So after much hesitation, I decided to agree to the suggestions of these princes and princesses. Secretly took them to 'run away from home' and go out to travel to the distant 'Jiangnan East Road'......

After all, in my opinion, this trip is just a tour. There is a plane~ Ah, it's the wooden kite who is on the road, and the mandarin duck and the duck help escort it, so that if I go on the road with the people of her girlfriend group, at least the safety will be guaranteed! It was an investment tour that was designed to deepen my feelings and allow me to hug Li Zhi, the future emperor's big thick legs......
