241 Another curiose

"Since everyone is here, let's visit our big guy together!"

Li Tianyang patted the wooden wall of the behemoth in front of him, and said to the indigenous patriarchs sitting in the second carriage looking at the Western scenery.

Li Tianyang's remarks are in the hands of the indigenous patriarchs, although under the guidance of the Hongmen people, many of the indigenous people here have gone outside to see countless novelties that they have never seen before: self-striking bells, large sea ships, artillery, muskets, and so on.

But there has never been such an object as it is today, where it is completely invisible to be pulled by manpower and animal power, but it is a behemoth that can drive itself.

Although the sea ships are huge, they are propelled by the wind on their heads, and the friction on the water is also very small, and for the indigenous people who have gradually learned some physics, these things can still be learned from the physics knowledge of Bengang School.

When the train starts again, there is no need to turn around, and the locomotive of the train, which only drags three carriages, just pulls the gear direction to the other side, and can achieve the effect of output in the opposite direction.

The train that moved again was relatively small for the members of the Chamber of Commerce who had already seen it once, but for the elders of the indigenous clans who were just a quick glimpse, it was the same as the expressions of the previous members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Halfway through, suddenly the train stopped, Li Tianyang greeted all the people who came home, looking at the bare railway and a dirt road that didn't know where it was going, as well as the lush forests and weeds around it, everyone looked surprised, and didn't know what Li Tianyang was going to sell.

On the contrary, a few members of the Chamber of Commerce, who had a rough knowledge of geography and had ordered a few sea-going ships at the Bengang Shipyard, looked thoughtfully in the direction of the extension of the dirt road, trying to find a possible target on the other side of the dirt road.

"The place where I took you to visit this time, in fact, many owners and shopkeepers are not unfamiliar, it is the location of our Bengang Shipyard, and it is almost there two miles along this dirt road."

Li Tianyang didn't sell it this time, the visit of the train was almost completed when he came, and the head of the train actually had nothing to visit, the principle of the steam engine was so complicated, Hongmen's own R&D personnel spent more than ten years to complete the current finished product, these people want to understand the principle, where can they succeed for a while, which is also the reason why Li Tianyang is willing to let everyone approach the visit.

Along the dirt road, I took everyone to walk without a cup of tea, and I saw the Bengang Shipyard built by the sea, and several dock ports in the factory were building sea vessels, and one of those sea ships was purchased by one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

For the shipyard, everyone is actually no stranger, this is also Bengang County has been open to the outside of the factory, since Hongmen developed shipbuilding business, Bengang, Keelung shipyards orders are endless, many people come to order or receive sea ships will come to the shipyard in person.

On the contrary, the indigenous patriarchs had simple procedures for entering and exiting Bengang, but firstly, they did not have enough money to buy and order seagoing vessels, and secondly, they did not need this thing for the time being, but it was the first time they came to Bengang Shipyard.

Although many people may have been to the shipyard, Li Tianyang still took everyone around the factory to let everyone know more about the scale of the shipyard.

The natives were the most curious and surprised, it turned out that this was the place where the huge sea ships at the Bengang dock were produced, and Mana Ligu, Barton and the others were even more eager to take in everything in front of them and figure out how these sea ships were built.

But it was clear that they would eventually be disappointed, and even if they were to let the natives turn the dock around, they would just be watching for a short time, and there would be much to be gained.

Immediately, Li Tianyang took everyone to the dock area where the shipyard was launched, where a "Jiaolong-style" sea ship was quietly moored.

However, unlike ordinary "Jiaolong" sea ships, this "Jiaolong" not only has its own mast and sails, but also has a huge chimney similar to the train they were riding in before, and at this time it also emits huge gray and white smoke.

Needless to say, everyone can guess that this sea ship is also the same as the previous steam train, a steam steamship powered by a steam engine seat.

However, to everyone's surprise, Li Tianyang's introduction of this sea ship was to call it a steamship, but everyone saw from the beginning to the end, and did not see at all that this sea ship was related to the word wheel.

Although it has nothing to do with the wheel word, this sea ship is not inferior to the train they took just now, even if it is against the wind, the speed on the sea and the ground is like a flying fish, and it is much faster than the train on land.

"How many days do you feel about my Hongmen industry?"

The visit came to an end, and then Li Tianyang took the steamer and went in the direction of Bengang, and Li Tianyang asked the surrounding people with a proud expression.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"

Yao Yingcheng, one of the proprietors of the Chamber of Commerce, sincerely expressed his admiration, and anyone who could see such steel craftsmanship in his lifetime would be shocked.

The people around him all agreed, and expressed their prospects for such heavy weapons to Li Tianyang.

"If this official says that he is going to spread such ingenious things all over the land of China, how about the attack?"

Li Tianyang's words were like lightning and thunder, and everyone present was shocked on the spot, and no one dared to believe it.

"That, that's naturally excellent, it's a good thing for the benefit of one party!"

There are people at the bottom who make a big fuss and flatter Li Tianyang.

No one could have imagined that Li Tianyang would make such a heavy weapon public, although it was only the first time he saw it, but everyone was born as a shrewd businessman, and he didn't know what the things he had seen in the past few days and what the business opportunities were.

"Needless to say, everyone can also feel the huge role of steam trains and steamships in commercial transportation, here is a real data obtained by the shopkeepers of my Hongmen Qixintang, which lists in detail the cost and time consumption of land transportation and sea transportation."

"And if my Hongmen train and ship can be properly arranged, in the future, the distance between Bengang and Keelung will be shortened from one day and one night to just one day, and the cost will be less than half!"

“………………”

With a lot of words, Li Tianyang talked endlessly for everyone to look forward to the grand plan of the future, and used the detailed data in his hand to describe the advantages of steam trains and ships.
