Chapter 179: Production Accidents

Three days later, Hong Tao and Wen Nan left Tula City, there were still three cargo ships parked in the port of Sun City, and Karl was still waiting for the weapons to be loaded and transported back to Jiang Zhuyi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This woman is getting more and more crazy, and almost all the mountain people in her territory are mobilized, ready to follow the mistress out of the mountains, with swords and armor to make a lot of money.

"There are only so many at present, you can go to Lao Mai to pull the rest, and give her all Lao Mai's muskets by the way, Lao Mai's people will soon come over, and it is useless to ask for those rags." Faced with Carl's lion's wide opening, Hong Tao could not be satisfied. These swords and armor in Sun City were all replaced by the previous armed Tu tribes, and there were more than 2,000 sets in total. However, Hong Tao showed Carl a clear way, these broken things Martini has a lot in his hands, and thousands of sets are not a problem. That black fat man is a hamster, and everything he thinks is useful will be hidden at home, maybe tens of thousands of sets will not be able to be beaten.

"These two boxes of hands Leswan taught you how to use them, right? You go back and let the Saracen merchants know about this thing first, and you can see it a little, but you can't sell it, and you can't say that it's yours, you have to say that it was made by France, and everything after that will wait for my news. In addition to a bunch of swords and leather armor, Hong Tao also specially asked Bush to prepare two boxes of grenades for Carr, which was a reassurance for the Saracens, who could not be eaten early or late, depending on the actual situation.

"You have a lot of new things here, and the Wen family's shipyard is opposite, right? Several times these days I have seen a strange boat running around on the river, it has no sails, it is smoking, and it is running quite fast. When the people here saw it, they knelt on the ground and prayed, saying that the sun god was in the boat. What sun god, this must be the ghost you and Wen Xiaoqi did, why can it run without a sail? "Carl doesn't look impulsive, but the ears and eyes of gossip are getting better and better, and he can't hide anything from him all day long.

"Shhhh Dare to slander the sun god in private, you are too bold. Hurry up and get on the boat and get out, don't eat and drink here. If you don't leave, I'll go to the ship to search, and you dare to say that you don't have anything from my house in the cabin? "Hong Tao didn't understand the progress of the steamship himself, so of course he couldn't tell Carl. This guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, every time he comes to Sun City, he will go to Hong Tao's house to search for it. As long as no one is watching, he can pull a lot of things and walk, even the toys of the rat and the rat, which is more annoying than a thief.

"This is the private ship of the royal family of the Kingdom of Virginia, and you have no right to inspect it! Lao Wen, hurry up and get on the boat, you can't stay here for long! Carl said it very reasonably, but his heart was very weak, and he pulled Wen Nan and went up the gangway.

"Old Wen, remember to go around those North African ports first, and let the patrol fleet report the local situation as soon as possible. Carl, when you go to Lao Mai, bring me a message to Cixi, and say that the new goods can be sold, don't forget! Hong Tao didn't bother to search in Karl's cabin, this eyeless thing couldn't take away any good things, in order to prevent him, he had already put all the good cigarettes and wine in Joseph's house. This god doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't get close to women, and basically no one dares to enter his home, which is safer than a bank vault.

These things that Carl took were all inferior goods that were deliberately prepared for him, and he didn't know it yet, thinking that he was taking advantage of his iron rooster and stealing fun. For this kind of self-proclaimed smart second goods, you have to treat him like this, so that he will smoke scraps and drink scum for half his life.

It's a pity that Wen Xiaoqi didn't give himself a face, and before Carl's sail was pulled up, there was a loud noise from the shipyard, followed by a cloud of smoke.

"End...... Xiao Qi may have become a roast suckling pig! Let's go, go to the other side! From the rising smoke, Hong Tao saw the white steam that he least wanted to see. Don't ask, 99 percent of the boiler is blown up, and nothing else has so much steam coming out.

Why is Wen Xiaoqi so worry-free, can the boiler be played casually? Especially the improved fire-tube boiler, the steam pressure is much higher than the previous earthen boiler, why can't you wait for yourself to come back and get it. But no matter how you blame, you can't look at it, hurry up and find a dinghy to go over and have a look, I hope I won't see Wen Xiaoqi whose skin is burned off all over his body. If that's the case, I have to be a villain again, and shoot him to death, so that he won't suffer for half a month and be infected again.

"Brother Hong, let's go over too!" Wen Nan and Carl also heard and saw the abnormality on the other side, and even Hong Tao climbed into the dinghy, indicating that something big must have happened.

"Let's go! Come on! I was annoyed when I saw that redbeard bald, and it was all caused by him! Hong Tao didn't want Wen Nan and Carl to see that he had shot Wen Xiaoqi with one shot, and the feeling was completely different from what he saw with his own eyes. I don't have much of a good reputation in the first place, so I must be careful to maintain it.

By the time the boat reached the test slipway of the shipyard on the other side, it was already surrounded by many people, most of whom were the shipyard's own craftsmen, and some were professional firefighters with iron hooks and pressurized water pumps. But these people were outside the wall, as if someone was blocking them from entering.

"God has sent your lordship, let me go!" Before Hong Tao could see what was going on inside the wall, the rowing crew pulled their necks and shouted, and then the people near the slipway immediately dodged a passage. The reason why they did not kneel down to greet the divine envoy was because Hong Tao had stipulated that these etiquettes should be waived during work. Everywhere you go, someone kneels down, and it's not a comfortable thing.

"You come back to me! Run? You can still run to the sky! As soon as the crowd flashed away, Hong Tao saw Wen Xiaoqi, whose face was covered with coal foam, standing in front of the door to block people from entering, Wen Xiaoqi also saw Hong Tao, he only hesitated for a second, and then turned around and drilled into the door.

"Let everyone disperse, it's okay here, I'll call you if you have any questions." This time, everyone responded quickly and deserves praise, and I will tell the priest here to let him give you credit. Wen Xiaoqi didn't listen to Hong Tao, and disappeared when he got into the door. Hong Tao didn't rush to chase him first, anyway, there was only one entrance and exit here, and he couldn't run away. These people at the door need to be dismissed, there is no private ownership here, everything belongs to the sun god, and there is no currency, so the monetary reward is useless.

The biggest reward is the merit book for the sacrifice, which is a ticket for everyone to go to the afterlife, and whoever has accumulated enough credit will be able to go to the sun god first. Of course, the reward and punishment system that Hong Tao and Joseph came up with together is still the calculation method, which mathematically eliminates who will naturally accumulate enough of these scores, and the only possibility is who sacrifices himself for the sun god at a critical moment, and then Joseph will solemnly announce that his scores have been saved enough, so he goes to see the sun god, and the others have to work hard!

"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to, it was fine yesterday, but it suddenly exploded today, I didn't do anything......" The crowd at the door dispersed happily, and Hong Tao also got into the small door. Wen Xiaoqi was squatting in the door, and he knew that there was nowhere to run, but he was afraid that Hong Tao would beat him up in front of his own workers, which would be too embarrassing.

"It's a fart to talk to me! I naturally have a reason not to let you move the new boiler, see it, this is your fate! Did someone else get hurt? Hong Tao looked at the ship on the slipway, there was still steam in the engine room in the middle, but the chimney was still there, and it was not crooked, which showed that the explosion was not very powerful. Since Wen Xiaoqi is fine, then rest assured, it doesn't matter how many others are killed or injured, it's a big deal to let the sacrifices send them to the Sun God Kingdom to enjoy happiness one step earlier.

"No one should have been hurt, they're changing the propeller under the stern, yesterday that one was a bit small, I wanted to change it to a big one. I burned the boiler, and they just told me to go down to see the propeller, and I just left for two minutes, and it exploded on it...... "Wen Xiaoqi didn't know what was wrong with the boiler, and he didn't dare to go up to see the big steam, before Hong Tao came, he was making up nonsense at the door and trying to say that an accident was a test, but Hong Tao came too fast, and he still didn't dodge.

"Let me touch you, do you have the sun god on your head? Luck so good? It's a shame it didn't blow you up! Why are you looking at me, looking for someone to put out the fire, and you still plan to let me go myself? "It's good that people are fine, although those craftsmen are not as rare as Wen Xiaoqi, but the people who can enter here are also Wen Xiaoqi's right-hand men, and one less is also a loss.

The boiler didn't really explode, just one of the seams burst open. It seems that the manual rivet connection is not without benefits, if the weld is miserable, the stronger the weld, the more thorough the explosion, and even the hull can be blown up. The damage was found, and the fault was easy to judge, and two hours later, Wen Xiaoqi found the cause of the failure. The boiler is too big, the amount of steam output is too much, and the high-temperature steam does not have time to cool down before it enters the cycle again. At that time, no one had opened the pressure relief valve, and the fire was still burning so strong, that the not-so-strong joint was opened by the high-pressure steam.

The volume of this boiler is one size smaller than the boiler originally used by Wen Xiaoqi, but after modification, the power significantly exceeds the original large boiler, which shows that the fire tube boiler has been successfully transformed. As for how much power these boilers output, Hong Tao can't figure it out. The calculation conditions of power are too complicated, and it is impossible to calculate it without various measuring instruments.

But that's not a problem, there are three new boilers of different sizes in total, and the medium one has a lot of power, so replace it with the small one. If the smaller one doesn't fit anymore, then change it again. Anyway, there are no requirements for cost accounting and construction period, and I still have some time, so I will definitely be able to find a boiler that can match the steam engine by accompanying Wen Xiaoqi to try a few more times.
