Because of the problem of lighting at sea, even the brave people did not dare to go to sea at night. Even when fishermen go out to sea, they come back before dark.

The same is true for warships, which cannot see enemy ships clearly and cannot sail. In the event of a foggy day, the two ships have to pass by, and they are basically invisible.

Leng Feng patted Sun Xiaoquan on the shoulder: "This proposal is very good, but we can't solve this problem for the time being." On the other hand, don't you think that lighting the enemy ship also provides direction for the enemy? ”

Sun Xiaoquan thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

The group returned to the shipyard and waited for the experiment to begin tomorrow.

Back in the room, Leng Feng took a nap under Liu Shuwen's massage.

Rushing does not mean that you will not get tired if you are healthy.

After leaving the ship and going ashore, even Li Ke fell asleep on the bed.

After waking up, Leng Feng lit the oil lamp and began to draw under the light.

Although I don't know the construction of modern ships, it's probably okay to guess.

Now we can limit the direction of the experiment to reduce the number of failures.

It wasn't until three o'clock that Leng Feng drew the relevant drawings.

Leave the rest to Li Tai to complete.

Today's Li Tai, after years of practice, has become a qualified scientific research worker. Although the ironclad ship is difficult, Leng Feng believes that Li Tai will definitely be able to persevere until the research is out.

Anything, as long as you persist, the result will not be too bad.

Early the next morning, Li Tai, who had slept enough, didn't need to be called by others, so he got up by himself and even exercised.

As long as you make up your mind and start working hard, Lee Tai can persevere more than anyone else.

Lazy, he's seriously lazy.

Seriously, he's also serious serious.

While having breakfast, Leng Feng handed over a stack of drawings to Li Tai: "Take a look, it should inspire you." ”

Li Tai took the drawings and looked at them carefully one by one.

"Keel? Watertight cabins? ”

Leng Feng nodded: "That's right, don't look at our new ship is made of steel, when the wind is strong, it will still blow over." Therefore, not only can it not be turned over in normal times, but it cannot be turned over when the wind is strong. Keels and watertight cabins, although they are parts of wooden ships, I think they can also be used for ironclads. ”

Li Tai nodded: "I think so too, but Master, we still have to build a model first, and we shouldn't need a watertight cabin for the time being." ”

The ironclad ship is different from Li Tai's fish boat, such a large ship, it is impossible to directly build a physical experiment. Initially, it was necessary to build a model.

After breakfast, the craftsmen are busy.

Now they have to do their own thing, and whoever builds an unsinkable ship first will be the hero.

Leng Jing and Leng Yuewu were also brought over by Leng Feng. Shipbuilding model is a very fun game, which tests people's thinking and hands-on ability. Since it is an opportunity to educate children, how can he let it go.

The morning passed.

Two craftsmen finished their models and tried them in the water, but they both turned over unsurprisingly.

Floating is floating, but how to sail forward is still a problem.

Leng Jing also made a ship model, but the ship model he made was not made of steel, but wood.

Leng Feng took Leng Jing to the water to test the boat, although Leng Jing made a strange shape, but it actually floated, although the progress was crooked, but it was a success.

Li Tai also completed a model ship and launched an experiment. However, his boat did not wait to move forward, and capsized as soon as it entered the water.

Seeing this scene, Leng Feng smiled: "It's over." ”

Li Tai sighed: "Yes, Master, it's over." ”

Leng Feng walked up to Li Tai and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you discouraged?" ”

Li Tai took a deep breath: "Don't be discouraged, this ironclad ship will definitely become the overlord of the sea." How can such a ship be comparable to such a steam engine? Now that I've researched the steam engine, the ironclad ship must not be far away. ”

Picking up the sunken ship model, Li Tai went ashore and started making it again.

Leng Jing looked at Li Tai's back, and couldn't help tugging Leng Feng's sleeve: "Dad, or let's stay in this group of senior brothers Qingque." ”

Leng Feng rubbed Leng Jing's head: "Silly boy, as long as your senior brother succeeds in modeling, he will not be far from real success." Let's wait until she succeeds in modeling, and then we can leave. Don't you always want to see what Mount Tai is like, Daddy will take you to climb up, experience the feeling of being at the top of the mountain, and see the small mountains. ”

Leng Jing nodded happily.

There was applause on the shore, it was Zhou Jiao.

"Protecting the country, this is an export chapter, it will be the top of the mountain, at a glance, only a person like you can have such a mind."

Leng Feng saw that there was no entourage around Zhou Jiao, so he pouted: "Come less, let's talk about it, the eldest grandson Wuji is in trouble with you." ”

At this time, since the two of them are getting along, it is time to tell the truth.

Zhou Jiao said helplessly: "You are giants fighting, I, a little ant, am easy to die among you, and it will be okay if I leave you." The protector of the country can rest assured that the lower officials have actually been appreciated by His Majesty, but they are not relieved that the people of Dengzhou will get rich, so they did not go directly to Beijing to take up their posts. ”

When he sent Leng Feng into Beijing, he protected him with his life on the way. This is a great achievement, Li Shimin originally planned to transfer Zhou Jiao to Chang'an, but at that time, Dengzhou had not officially begun to open up trade routes, and Zhou Jiao could not rest assured.

Leng Feng walked to the shore with his son and said with a smile: "Now that Dengzhou has opened a trade route, then it is a matter of scale and efficiency." Two great achievements, it is estimated that when you go to Chang'an, you will directly be a four-grade official. ”

Zhou Jiao didn't hide it, and nodded: "Xiaguan is for this credit, to be honest, if Xiaguan stayed in Chang'an at that time, he would only be a fourth-grade official, but now, it can be regarded as a four-grade one." ”

Leng Feng did not despise Zhou Jiao's deliberate act of looking for credit, at least, people really relied on their ability to get credit, not bribery.

Local officials, although they are also of the same grade, have not developed much after all. If you want to occupy a place in the imperial court, or be able to make others remember your name, only officials above the fourth rank can do it.

Zhou Jiao followed Leng Feng to the shipyard, and said as he walked: "Protector of the country, the officials of Dengzhou have begun martial law." However, nothing unusual was found. ”

Leng Feng pouted: "You are redundant, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't dare to touch me now." Because, he already knew I had found him. In such a situation, he will only look for opportunities to fall into the well, and it is impossible for you to let him take the initiative. This old fox will always eat only carrion. ”

The court is like the four seasons, deducing the prosperity and disgrace of each family. Facts have proved that the survival method of the eldest grandson Wuji, an old yin B, can also occupy a place in the court.

Leng Feng doesn't have to deliberately seek power, some power doesn't necessarily have to be in his own hands.

For example, Wang Xuance of Jingbei Province has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites....
