Sun Pu was only afraid that his son would suffer a loss, so he offended this evil star and hurriedly stepped forward to plead: "City Lord Yue, you adults have a lot, you adults don't care about villains, and the little dogs are offended, I can't compensate you here, and I beg you to raise your noble hand." Sun Pu kept composing to Yue Xiaofei.

Yue Xiaofei stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop Sun Pu and looked around and said: "I announce that the dragon boat race in the future will not be used as the basis for ordering, but will be changed to the regatta as the standard, to see whose boat is loaded more, whose boat runs fast, whose boat runs farther, and who will get the largest share of production."

In addition, we in Shenzhou City also need to form a shipbuilding guild, and anyone who wants to establish a shipyard in Shenzhou City must join this guild. The new technology used in the regatta will be announced in the guild so that other boathouses can calculate the cost when using it, and our regatta is limited to six months, and the race is held once every six months. By the way, I would like to reveal to you that in the future, our Shenzhou City will be based on the "Time Calendar" made by Guo Shoujing of the previous dynasty as the calendar, and on the first day of March next year according to this calendar, we will start the game on time.

In the future, all merchants who order goods here in our Shenzhou City must first go to the guild, and the guild will determine their share according to the ranking of previous sailing competitions and the ranking of the speed and quality of production. As for the one who specified the ship, that was the right of the merchants, and we didn't care. However, the ship is not allowed to be marked with the words "Shenzhou City Ship Company Producer". If you don't understand it, let's discuss it when we form a guild, now, we're going to race dragon boats. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't have anything to say, Yue Xiaofei walked to the side of the high platform and said, "The game is on." ”

With a "bang", the salute sounded, and the oarsmen on standby on the riverside desperately rounded the short oars in their hands, and the boatmen also beat the gongs and drums desperately to cheer. When the dragon boat went out, the boat from the Sihaifang of Shenzhou City came and rowed out for the first time. At the start, it was half a hull slower than the other dragon boats, and the onlookers on the shore burst into laughter.

The rules of the dragon boat race are issued from this, to the second buoy in the center of the river, and the first place to go to the shore after going back is the first place.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ...... Knock knock choking ......" The chaotic sound of gongs and drums on the shore sounded neatly to music. It was the band from Shenzhou City who came to the scene to cheer for the dragon boats in Shenzhou City.

The corners of Yue Xiaofei's mouth showed a knowing smile and thought: "This embroidered moon really likes this general's order, and even uses it." ”

The leader of the red flag on the top of the dragon boat not only waved the red flag according to the sound of the drum, but also kicked his leg like a swing every time, and the person also went up. Reduces the weight of the bow by a little, and the good wings lift the bow to reduce drag.

Now the No. 1 dragon boat of the Xinyuan Shipyard of the Sun family, which is the leading among the eight dragon boats, Sun Ming Yangguo is a good hand at dragon boat racing. His paddle team is unsurpassed in this Fuzhou City in terms of strength. The 40 oarsmen not only moved in unison, but also swung with the right amount of force.

Although the dragon boats in Shenzhou Sihaifang did not have a boat leader, they also jumped upwards every time they rowed, and drove the whole hull as if they were about to float out of the water. They paddle at a slower beat, but give a beauty of stretched, harmonious strength. And the long oars give full play to the power of leverage, and the speed of their dragon boats is getting faster and faster. Catching up with the dragon boats of the rest of the families, the dragon boat that was second in second place was soon overtaken by them.

Seeing this scene, Sun Mingyang was angry and anxious, and in the continuous shouting, the frequency of the short oars in the hands of his oarsmen became faster and faster, and the whole dragon boat rushed forward like an arrow off the string.

On the other hand, the oarsmen on the dragon boats in Sihaifang in Shenzhou waved their long oars slowly, and the speed did not increase anymore, but somehow the gap between the two boats was getting smaller and smaller.

The two long boats arrived at the buoy in the center of the river. This place requires the highest skill of the oarsman. No. 1 dragon boat with Sun Mingyang's order, the inner circle oarsman inserted the oars in his hand into the sailor, condensed his strength and did not move, the oarsman on the outer side of the oarsman paddled again to speed up again, the whole dragon boat seemed to do a modern car like a tail flick action out, beautiful rowing through a small arc turned around, but in this way, the momentum is lost, to re-accelerate is a very laborious thing.

On the other hand, the long boat on the side of Shenzhou Sihaifang, one side of the long oar is flat on the side of the boat, and the other side of the long oar is still rowing, and it turns around without seeing how to increase the force, but when it turns, the boat body tilts over, and two long things like turtle hydrofoils only flash on the side of the boat and then submerge into the water again, rowing a little bigger, but their speed has not decreased much.

After swinging the bow of the boat again, the oarsmen on the No. 1 boat at this time had almost exhausted their strength in the continuous oars in front of them, and they accelerated much slower again, while the oarsmen on the dragon boat in Shenzhou Sihaifang were still at the same oars-carrying speed, and soon the speed of the entire dragon boat was higher again.

Ji Zhanwen had already understood the reason for this place after Hong Sihai's explanation, otherwise he would not have entered Shenzhou Sihaifang. There are four hydrofoils under the bottom of this strange boat, and when the hydrofoil is in a straight line, the hydrofoil is lifted by the oncoming water, so that the whole longboat is almost on the surface, and when turning around, one side of the hydrofoil changes to the side to produce resistance, and the power of the rudder makes its transformation not only fast but also does not reduce much speed, and then turns back to the two hydrofoils to get back to the general state, and it is easy to accelerate naturally.

Soon, the dragon boat in Shenzhou City was getting closer and closer to the shore, and the dragon boat in Xinyuan Shipyard just returned to the speed just now, rushing to the riverside, and it was too late.

The people on the riverbank who didn't buy Shenzhou Sihaifang booed, and the gongs and drums in the hands of the boatmen of the seven shipyards were also gone, only Shenzhou City's "Men Should Be Self-reliant" became louder and louder, and the higher and louder.

Most of the people who bet on Shenzhou Sihaifang to win are people from the old military camp in the past, or people from Yanping City, they know too much about Shenzhou's things, and they have never had the idea of losing.

As for those who gambled on other family wins, people threw the waste lottery tickets everywhere along the river in a sound of remorse.

The oarsmen of the Shenzhou Sihaifang by the river turned over and disembarked, and then put the boat above their heads from the water. At this time, the unwitting people on the high platform discovered that the bottom of the boat stretched out four water wings like a turtle.

Sun Pu, the owner of Xinyuan Shipyard on the side, said: "It's really a shame that you can figure it out." ”

Ji Zhanwen, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Look, that's the power of technological progress!" ”
