In the afternoon, it was a fine day, and in the shade of a tree by the river, Cao Yan sat on a deck chair.

There are several fishing rods in front of him.

The little girl Lin Ruyi was helping him keep an eye on the float.

While whispering to Cao Yan, Cao Yan left the reaction of everyone in the backyard at noon.

"You didn't see it, Sister Yi Niang is so happy."

"Aunt Seven, many of them are envious to death."

"After the eldest lady said it, when this happened, she and her aunt would not pay attention to it, and their own family affairs would be handled behind closed doors."

When Lin Ruyi was talking energetically, several carriages appeared on the road leading to this fishing spot.

Cao Yan knew all these carriages, and they belonged to them.

The carriage came straight to this side, and after it stopped, seeing the acquaintances who came down, Cao Yan was a little puzzled, "Why did the wind blow all of you here today?" ”

"Master, something so big happened, why didn't you tell us?" Luo Ming walked over quickly, and after speaking, he picked up the incubator beside Cao Yan, opened it, first took out a clean porcelain bowl, then opened the lid of a stainless steel vat inside, took a bowl of chilled mung bean paste from it, handed it to Xiang Yixin, and after Xiang Yixin took it, he took another bowl himself.

After that, he stood aside and let the people who came after him do it themselves, while he drank himself.

Cao Yan looked at his anxious appearance, and was a little puzzled, could it be that arranging a few stewards by himself was also a big deal?

Obviously discovering Cao Yan's puzzlement, Luo Ming finished drinking a bowl and yelled at the hand over there, "Don't finish drinking, leave another bowl for me!" Master, what happened to being snooped on yesterday! ”

"Oh!" Cao Yan patted his head, thinking about it today, he forgot about those bullshit things, "It's been dealt with." ”

"Master, you can't be careless! In the past, many of our small cloth merchants were crushed alive because of the leakage of pigment formulas. Luo Ming warned that he was very clear about these things!

Cao Yan smiled, he knew that this was Luo Ming's concern for himself, but he was not very worried now, first of all, the roller production, the machinery that was the mother machine, was produced by him with the nanotechnology of black technology armor, that machinery, even if it was dismantled by others and let them imitate it, without those key parts of the special steel, it is estimated that it will not take long and will be scrapped.

And the production of glass, the melting point of quartz glass is 1,600 degrees, this temperature, in this era, is still difficult to achieve, just look at the appearance of the furnace, no one wants to figure it out, not a few years, it is estimated that it is still a little difficult.

As for relatively simple perfumes, Cao Yan has set up a special secret production mode to separate all the processes, and these things are not accessible to ordinary people except for a few people in the village.

Of course, Cao Yan still thanked Luo Ming: "I'll pay attention, thank you!" ”

"Tell me who instigated it?" Xiang Yixin asked.

Cao Yan shook his head, "That person is masked, and I talked to them, but it doesn't matter if I don't check it out or not, it's just that group of people." ”

"Yes, can I arrange for some guards to come and guard at night?" Xiang Yixin continued to ask.

"No, I've arranged everything, and after this incident, they should be quiet for a while." Cao Yan shook his head.

"Oh, tell me when you need it."

"Yes,"

"Uncle, uncle moved, moved, ......moved" Lin Ruyi next to him grabbed Cao Yan's hand and shook it hurriedly.

Cao Yan looked at the river, and sure enough, he saw a fishing rod, and the buoy was sinking into the river.

Hurriedly, ran over, grabbed the fishing rod, pulled and released, and slowly pulled the fish up, it was a two- or three-pound Songjiang perch, it was rare to see such a big fish in the wild in later generations, Cao Yan swallowed his saliva, put it in a big bucket beside him, there were already a lot of fish in it, "You have a good mouth today, stay and eat together in the evening." ”

"Okay! Then thank you sir. "Everyone didn't shirk it, they knew Cao Yan's character, and they didn't like to play those polite words very much.

……

At this moment, a group of people came running in the distance, a group of little children.

Lin Xiaoyang, the first to run in front of Cao Yan, saw that he was holding a wooden basin in his hand, which contained some black gelatinous substances, and he shouted, "Big brother-in-law, let's make it, Eucommia ulmoides glue." ”

"Holy! Well done. Cao Yan couldn't care about what image he was talking about when he was happy, and blurted out the swear words.

Xiang Yixin was frightened, she didn't know what this was, it could be worthy of Cao Yan so happy, she even swore out, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Cao, is this?" ”

"I build ships." Cao Yan said with a smile.

"The ship?" Xiang Yixin felt his heart tremble a little when he thought of the ship.

"What ship?" Xia Haibo asked.

But when he spoke, no one answered him, and obviously no one who knew wanted to mention the ship.

Seeing this strange situation, Xia Haibo asked again: "Luo Fatzi said let's listen, what kind of ship is it?" He looked at Luo Fatzi, because if the people present knew about it, then Luo Fatzi must be one.

"This ......" Luo Ming didn't say it very clearly, he thought about it again and again, and he didn't come up with a good entry point for a long time.

"Don't ask, let's go and see." Cao Yan said a word, and then instructed the children, "Help me get my fishing things." ”

……

When the others saw this huge steel ship for the first time, they also had the same doubts as Xiang Yixin at that time, "This ship is really big!" But sir, won't this ship made of iron sink? ”

"I'm just waiting for this thing, if it's okay to wait, I'll be able to go into the water tomorrow, you can see if he sinks!" Cao Yan said with a dark face, is it easy to build a warship by yourself? People say that they want to sink every day, this is a person who has a big fire!

"Hehe, sir, don't be angry, you're just going to let me fart." The person who spoke said embarrassedly.

Everyone followed Cao Yan, turned around, passed several levels, and finally came to the cabin and went down to the power room in the cabin.

I saw a huge one-piece steam engine lying there quietly.

"Go and wrap it up." Cao Yan gave an order to the children around him, and he also held a wrench, held a lid, put on eucommia glue, and opened and assembled.

The others were on the side, like curious babies, watching Cao Yan and them screwing one by one.

Thanks to the strength of Cao Yan's armor, these fourteen steam engines are produced as a whole, and they are also modified by the system, and the power generated in this way, Cao Yan feels that it should be said that it has almost reached the power of diesel engine ships in later generations.

And the speed should not be far behind, although it may not be as fast as the warships of more than 30 knots in later generations, but Cao Yan estimates that the last 20 knots is still no problem.

When everything was installed, Cao Yan asked a few people to turn a huge gear.

so that you can see how well it is performing.

When the whole machine runs perfectly in circles.

Cao Yan smiled happily.

"It's done? Mr? Xia Haibo looked at Cao Yan and smiled, and immediately asked.

"Yes!" Cao Yan nodded.

"Master, try it in the water!" Luo Ming immediately said that since he knew about this ship, he had been waiting every day to see it launched, paying attention to whether it would sink or not.

"Yes, sir, don't wait for tomorrow, just today, while everyone is here now."

"It's very troublesome, if you get it now, it probably won't start until midnight." Cao Yan explained.

"Ah, so troublesome?" Everyone present thought that this cross-era battleship was too simple, thinking that it could be driven by launching and rowing like an ordinary painting boat.

"What do you think, come early tomorrow morning, tonight, I'm checking it out." Cao Yan persuaded, "Let's go to my house to eat fish today." ”。

Everyone heard Cao Yan say it so simply, and they also knew that it was really not possible today, although it was a little regrettable, but there was no way.

can only reluctantly follow Cao Yan off the boat and wait for tomorrow.
