Chapter 469: Luban's Improvement
As Zhang Guan's words fell, Zhu Hao looked around, and then saw a behemoth, standing not far away like a hill, and the silhouette was in the shape of a boat.
Zhu Hao knew in his heart that this should be the steam ship built by Lu Ban, looking at this behemoth, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart:
"This is a boat from my grandmother!"
"It's a mountain!"
"Lu Ban, a loser, how much fuel does such a big ship have!"
"This guy's consumption is definitely the existence of this world's aircraft carrier!"
Zhu Hao couldn't help but feel a little painful when he thought about the consumption of this steamship, but he was more pleased, this big guy made by Lu Ban was completely beyond his expectations.
Zhu Hao looked at the steamship for a long time before he opened his mouth and asked Zhang Guandao:
"Lord Gongyi, where is it now, this king wants to see him!"
Zhang Guandao listened to Zhu Hao's words and hurriedly replied:
"Your Highness Qiqi, Lord Gongyi, is debugging in the ship at the moment, and the last general will go and invite him over!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Guandao's words, bowed his hand and said:
"No need, since Lord Gong is on the ship, then the king will go to him in person!"
"It just so happens that this king also wants to see if this big guy is in vain!"
When Zhu Hao spoke, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, the power drive required for such a large ship can be imagined.
Zhu Hao knew that the conventional steam engine might not be able to drive the ship at all, so Zhu Hao was very afraid of the steam ship in front of him at the moment, and he couldn't drive it.
With this apprehensive mood, Zhu Hao rode a horse and thought about the approaching of this behemoth, and as Zhu Hao continued to get closer, the whole picture of the entire steamship appeared in front of Zhu Hao's eyes.
I saw this steam ship, the overall height of more than 10 zhang, width of more than 100 zhang, length of more than 300 zhang, the entire hull is made of steel, on both sides of the hull neatly placed hundreds of red-clothed cannons, to the whole ship to add a killing atmosphere.
Rao is Zhu Hao is well-informed, and when he saw this big guy comparable to a 10,000-ton steamship in later generations, he still couldn't help but gasp, and said secretly in his heart:
"Such a big guy, I don't know how Lu Ban came up with it, and it took such a short time!"
As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Ban mobilized craftsmen from all over the country, which was within his purview.
Zhu Hao didn't know that Lu Ban mobilized nearly one million skilled craftsmen in Daming for this steamship, and with the joint efforts of these people, coupled with the guidance of Lu Ban, the originator of craftsmen, he created this big guy in such a short time.
When Zhu Hao approached the steamship, Lu Ban, who was inside the ship, had already received a report and had already come out to greet Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao looked at Lu Ban with a tired face, and knew that Lu Ban must have spent a lot of energy and effort for this steamship, so he took the lead and said:
"Lord Gongyi, it's hard work, this steamship is completely beyond the imagination of this king!"
"Such a huge ship, an ordinary steam engine, I'm afraid it can't make it move!"
As the ancestor of the craftsman, Lu Ban naturally understood that Zhu Hao was worried about the power system, so he hurriedly explained:
"Your Highness can rest assured of this, I have improved the steam engine that His Highness gave me, and it is not a problem to drive this steam ship!"
Zhu Hao still has a lot of trust in Lu Ban's ability, although he is surprised that Lu Ban has improved the steam engine in such a short time, but he does not doubt the authenticity of Lu Ban's words.
Therefore, Zhu Hao then asked the second question in his heart, saying:
"Lord Gongyi, even if the steam engine is improved, I'm afraid that if this behemoth is driven, the steam engine will also need to consume a lot of coal!"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words, a confident smile leaked on his face, and then he said:
"Your Highness, this steam engine improved by Weichen no longer needs to burn coal!"
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's words, his face was full of doubts, and he asked rhetorically:
"No need to burn coal?"
"Does that burn diesel?"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words and said suspiciously:
"Diesel?"
"What's that?"
Lu Ban's doubts, this made Zhu Hao react, he just said the wrong thing because of excitement, there is no concept of oil in this era, and naturally there is no such thing as diesel.
Therefore, Zhu Hao hurriedly changed the topic and said:
"Okay, Lord Gongyi, it doesn't matter what it is, this king has only seen it from an ancient book, this kind of thing!"
"You still tell this king, your improved steam engine does not need to burn coal, so what does it need to burn?"
Lu Ban listened to Zhu Hao's words and muttered in a low voice, "Your Highness is really well-informed, and you have seen all kinds of strange things!" ”
Then Lu Ban opened his mouth to Zhu Hao and continued:
"Your Highness, this steam engine improved by Weichen doesn't need to burn anything, he can turn it himself!"
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's words and exclaimed:
"What?"
"Can you turn it yourself?"
"This is a perpetual motion machine!"
No wonder Zhu Hao was so shocked, the concept of perpetual motion machine has been proven to be a false proposition in later generations, as a top student in the Department of Physics, Zhu Hao naturally knows about it.
But how could he not be shocked that what had now been proven to be a false proposition, something that did not exist, had now appeared in front of him?
Lu Ban didn't notice Zhu Hao's shock, and muttered to himself:
"Perpetual motion machine?"
"Hmm!"
"That's a good name, apt!"
"I have decided, this steam engine I will improve in the future will be called a perpetual motion machine!"
Lu Ban said and bowed to Zhu Hao, bowed, and then continued:
"His Royal Highness Weichen Xie gave the perpetual motion machine and gave it a name!"
With Lu Ban's action, Zhu Hao was relieved, he figured out why Lu Ban was able to create a perpetual motion machine, he traveled before, but not in that era of prosperous science and technology.
Because of the Huaxia Kingdom, there have been many changes of dynasty in history, and many valuable cultural heritages have been buried in the war, and Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsmen, can make things, and there is no one left in later generations, so naturally the existence of a perpetual motion machine cannot be confirmed.
As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, once created a wooden ox and a flowing horse to transport grain instead of manpower, which used the principle of a perpetual motion machine, which also proved that it did exist.
Zhu Hao thought a lot, and didn't speak for a long time, at this time Lu Ban opened his mouth and asked Zhu Hao:
"Your Highness, I don't know if you have any other questions about this steamship?"
"If there is no problem, can you go into the sea and test the waters?"
Zhu Hao listened to Lu Ban's words, came back to his senses, the excitement on his face did not disappear, and he said with a smile:
"As long as Lord Gong loses confidence, there is no problem with this king!"
When Lu Ban heard this, he bowed to Zhu Hao again and said:
"Back to His Highness, there is no problem with Wechen, Wechen is full of confidence in this steamship, Wechen believes that it will not disappoint His Highness!"
