The new emperor succeeded to the throne, Shi Miyuan was very happy when he returned to the mansion, and immediately asked the maid to order the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes, and let the big, medium and small ladies accompany him to drink a beautiful meal.

The next day, as soon as Shi Miyuan returned from the morning court, his old sister-in-law came to inquire about the murder of his son.

Shi Miyuan immediately assured his sister-in-law: "Old sister-in-law, please rest assured, my nephew's matter, within three months, the prime minister will definitely seek justice for him." ”

The old sister-in-law said goodbye, Shi Miyuan went to the study, wrote a notebook, and summoned the housekeeper with the title of fire paint to prepare the carriage and horses, and then went to the palace.

Came to the palace to raise the heart of the palace and saw the new emperor Li Zong. Li Zong Zhao Yun was very puzzled, and asked Shi Miyuan: "Aiqing, why did you go and return?" ”

Shi Miyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Weichen has something important to report to my emperor, long live." ”

Zhao Yun sat on the dragon case and asked, "Flat!" I don't know what Aiqing has to report. ”

Shi Miyuan stood up and carefully handed over the fold, and the eunuch next to him took it and put it lightly on top of the dragon case. Zhao Yun saw that the fold was still closed with fire paint, and his eyes turned and he retreated from the idle people.

After the eunuchs and palace maids all retreated, Zhao Yun immediately asked Shi Miyuan: "Why is Aiqing coming now?" Can you say that now? ”

Shi Miyuan sat on the chair that the eunuch had moved before leaving, and then said mysteriously to Emperor Zhao Yun: "Long live, Wei Chen came to tell him that Long Live was going to invite death." ”

Zhao Yun was startled, and asked Shi Miyuan in a panic when he took a breath of cool air: "Aiqing, please speak bluntly, how did the widow attract the disaster of killing?" ”

"Long live, there are three things that are enough for Long Live to be killed. First, Zhao Hong, the current Duke of Ningguo, now admits his identity, but he is inevitably resentful, and many important ministers in the court are still complaining for him. Second, the current Queen Mother Yang is also a big stumbling block for the emperor, with her hanging the curtain for a day, the emperor's throne will be in danger for a day. Third, the current important ministers in the court do not have many hearts to support the emperor, and the emperor does not have many henchmen in the court. Taken together, these will invite the disaster of long live death. Shi Miyuan's analysis was the head of the Dao, and he looked at Li Zong Zhao Yun with a solemn face.

Zhao Yun listened carefully to everything that Shi Miyuan analyzed, and recalled that it was not easy for him to become the Ninth Five-Year Honor from a commoner. After Shi Miyuan finished speaking, Zhao Yun asked: "Shi Aiqing, what should the widow do now?" After asking Li Zong, Zhao Yun looked at Shi Miyuan eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Shi Miyuan thought about it carefully and then said, "Long live, we should do this~~~~~

Li Zong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed: "Aiqing is really clever, and the widow has a heavy reward." Ha ha! ”

After chatting with Shi Miyuan secretly, Li Zong Zhao Yun was in a good mood. The night battle of the three girls.

The shipyards on the desert island are doing quite well, and now the craftsmen are able to build large merchant ships of 2,000 timbers. The maturity of the technology led Rational Heart to begin the construction of the 18th-century British sail warship that he had seen in his previous life.

The 18th-century sailing ships in England were three-masted galleons with one or two spinnakers in front. Richards now drew an image of the sailboat on a sketch, and then asked a few top shipwrights on the desert island to make a model to measure the stability of the boat.

These masters had never seen a three-masted galleon on such a sketch, and they were all squeaked. But after looking at the drawings of the sailboat, I made a model based on my impressions. Offering a treasure to show it to Lixin, Lixin looks like it feels nondescript. It is only by comparing left and right that the root of the problem is discovered. It turned out that the sail was made of the wrong material, and now the sailboats are all two-masted, and the balanced quadrangular sails can be rotated, and the sail texture is hard sails. Unlike the battleship depicted in the sketch, which had a three-masted soft sail, the sail could not be turned.

Li Xin took the model to these masters and pointed out the mistakes. Several masters disagreed, looked at Lixin with a smile and said, "Second Island Master, although we have not seen the sailboat you painted, the sail of the ship is better for us to use a sail that can turn." ”

Reasonably, he asked, "Why is that?" ”

One of the older masters, Master Lu, took a few steps forward and explained to Li Xin while drawing on the ground: "Second Island Master, if you look at the ships sailing on the sea now, they all use four-cornered hard sails, mainly because the wind on the sea is unstable. This kind of sailboat can only sail against the wind if it can turn the mast, but if it uses a fixed soft sail, it can only sail in the downwind, not against the wind. That's why we used a rotating four-cornered hard sail for our production. ”

Li Xin smiled at the "haha", arched his hand to several masters, took the bamboo stick in Master Lu's hand and drew on the ground: "Master Lu, come and see, this is the three-masted soft sail I painted, and they are all fixed." Why? Because we want to make full use of the power of the wind in a downwind situation, we can get the maximum forward momentum for the boat. What you are talking about the headwind, let's take a look at the bow of the boat, here I draw two spinnakers that are specifically used against the wind, and there is also a large spinnaker on the rear fixed mast. In this way, we can make good use of downwind, crosswind, and headwind, and no longer need to rotate the mast, leaving enough space on the ship, not to mention, but also strengthening the stability of the ship's structure at sea. And the boat can be made bigger if allowed. Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled and looked at the masters who seemed to understand what was wrong and what was wrong, and his mouth was wide open.

Master Lu reacted first, and asked in surprise: "According to what the second island master said, wouldn't it be possible to make the ship as big as the city?" ”

Rational nodded and looked at the sea outside the shipyard and said, "Yes, you can make the ship bigger, as big as the city." ”

After some discussion with the masters, Lixin divided the masters into two groups, each built a model according to their own understanding, and finally took the best model as a template for building a real ship. And also issued a reward of 2,000 taels of silver tattoos to stimulate these sincere and honest masters.

In less than 15 days, the two groups of masters each handed in the models they had made, and the group of masters Lu was a veteran shipbuilder and made them in accordance with the idea of reason. Although the other group is not as experienced as the masters, it has many innovations, such as dividing the bottom layer of the cabin into a number of small compartments and building a water-sealed cabin. The operation of the rudder was changed to a steering wheel operation using gears.

Rationality is very unexpected, how can you still use people to know gears. When I found all the people in this group and asked, I learned that there was a young man named Merlin in the middle who was the main person in charge of this change.

Calling Merlin, he looked at this young man who was only in his twenties, with a sturdy body, dark skin, and bright eyes. It was very strange, and he hurriedly asked, "I wonder why Master Mo knows about gear applications?" ”

Merlin looked at Reason like a fool, and then said, "The island owner is talking about gears? The owner really doesn't know? ”

Li Xin spread his hands and wondered: "I really don't know." ”

Mo Lin was sure that Lixin was not coaxing him, and said to Liren with confidence: "Lord Yu Er, when it comes to gears, it must start with the guide car used by the Yellow Emperor when he fought Chiyou, when the Yellow Emperor used it to show the direction on the foggy battlefield and defeated Chiyou. To the guide car manufactured by Yansu in the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the guide car manufactured by Wu Deren in the first year of Daguan, gears were used. These are very simple devices, and in the books that have been handed down from my family, there are even more complex gear devices. ”

Rationality has now been suppressed by Merlin, and his heart is just churning. Unexpectedly, our ancestors had such great achievements, and thought that gears were the product of the future.

Merlin looked at himself with big eyes without saying a word, and his heart was just hairy. Hurriedly shouted: "Second Island Master! Two island owners! What happened to you? ~~”

Only then was Lixin awakened, and after reacting, he grabbed Merlin and asked, "Excuse me, why does your family have a more detailed record of the gear device?" ”

Mo Lin smiled heartily "haha": "What is expensive or not, my family genealogy records have been inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and now I am the only one left." The second island owner doesn't say anything about the family. ”

Hearing this, Li Xin was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and was completely shocked, and shouted loudly: "What, you said that you are a descendant of the Mo family in the Spring and Autumn Period?" ”
