A large number of people, including businessmen and officials (of course, Liang Pengfei, who was dressed in Manchu official skin, did what they did was to overthrow the Manchu court and clean up the pirates.) There are also literati and scholars, such as Mr. Zhao, and senior nautical professionals, such as Liang Daguan, who kills people like hemp, carries a knife, and drives a pirate ship for decades. Of course, Liang Pengfei's charming and bright ladies are indispensable. They all pointed at these ships, and they were full of comments, and they had spent nearly a morning, and it seemed that they were still unsatisfied.

Finally, Robert, who was impatient, found Liang Pengfei, who was painting a fake picture of the yacht with his mother-in-law. At this moment, the four of them have already started a spit discussion about the yacht's internal facilities and structure, and even the color of the bulkheads.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that their conversation did not seem to be abating, Robert had no choice but to step forward: "Your Excellency, forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting your conversation with Madame. We've been here for too long, we have to leave for our institute, and we need to record a lot of data from this voyage when we get back, and there are a lot of problems that need to be solved.

Because the propeller is used for ship propulsion, although the improvement of the propeller type has been greatly improved, there are still many problems, such as the wear of the propeller shaft bearing under the waterline, the propeller shaft seal, the thrust bearing, etc., this series of problems need to be solved and improved. If there is nothing to do, please allow us to rush back to King Crab Island now and get to work. Robert replied with a hint of reverence.

Robert admired the wisdom of the Oriental, and almost obeyed his words, because at the beginning, he really doubted whether the other party was blindly directing or giving him advice. But soon, the conclusions of the research proved time and time again how wise the oriental man was in front of him, and how whimsical but reasonable the design idea was.

For example, the propeller, in Robert's opinion, in the case of the speed of the steam engine can not be increased, the efficiency of using paddle wheel drive is at least one-third higher than that of the propeller, and the propeller is located in the underwater drive, although the concealment has been greatly improved, but the loss of efficiency, and the terrible vibration, however, Liang Pengfei resolutely asked for the use of the propeller, for the terrible, long enough to cause damage to the hull, he put forward a very strange opinion.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It was to bring an oriental weapon: the Daguan knife, and asked Robert to design the propeller in this way, although at first, Robert was very resistant, but after the prototype was made, Robert was surprised to find that the terrible vibration was so inexplicably lost without a trace.

In this regard, Robert was very surprised and asked Liang Pengfei why he was sure that the shape of the paddle would eliminate the vibration, and only occasionally saw an interesting anecdote about the ship, only to know that the shut-off oar could disappear the vibration, but why Liang Pengfei, who was also black-eyed, could only brag nonsense in his mouth, saying that it was because the shape of the whale's fin gave him inspiration. And the real answer, Liang Pengfei can only be buried in his heart.

However, Robert, who had traveled to the East from afar, had seen whales at sea, and his admiration for Liang Pengfei had reached an overwhelming level. And Liang Pengfei never thought that the whale fins of some whales really had a very similar proportion to this kind of Guan Dao oar.

The use of this type of propeller not only eliminates the dreaded vibrations, but also increases the speed. And Liang Pengfei himself didn't expect that the magazine he accidentally read when he was bored when he was squatting on the toilet in his previous life could actually bring such an effect, I have to say that his shit luck is too strong. ，

Liang Pengfei also knew that people like Robert definitely didn't like to be dragged to ask some superficial and outrageous questions, and he had a general understanding of the progress of these ship research, and in general, he was very satisfied.

Liang Pengfei turned around with a smile and patted Robert on the shoulder and said, "Of course, thank you very much for giving us hope for success, dear Mr. Robert, I hope you can choose these directions to strengthen your research."

First, the study of ironclads must continue, and I hope you will keep in mind that in the near future, such ironclads that can withstand heavy artillery bombardment will become the overlords of the sea.

However, the research and improvement of the steam sailing ship is also the focus, and as for the practice of adding armor to the outside of the sailing ship, it is true that I did not think about it before, and this research project can be abandoned, or you can throw away this burden and devote yourself to the research of these two projects. ”

"Every forerunner, it is impossible to step on the flat ground, this is what you said to me last time when I failed, you are not wrong, it is just that the direction we are considering is a little off." Robert replied with a hint of reverence.

When Liang Pengfei talked about business, his expression was very serious, with his well-defined face, as well as those eyes that flashed with shrewdness and wisdom, of course, with his straight tunic, there is indeed a hookup, well, there is the capital to tempt different surnames, even if it is an old husband and wife, the three beautiful mothers-in-law standing by and listening still feel that their husbands are so handsome no matter how they look. It can be seen from the sparkling starry eyes on their delicate faces.

Hopefully I'll be able to see Robert sooner. Fulton's name is engraved in the history of the world's shipbuilding, and I am sure that you will become a great, epoch-making historical figure in the history of shipbuilding. Liang Pengfei put his arm around Robert's shoulder and stretched out his other hand into the distance. is like the host in the blind date show who can still play tongue twisters with two goose eggs in his mouth and can play tongue twisters very smoothly.

is trying to bewitch the little virgin who came on stage for the first time to become the role he needs to play in this show, or crying, or tearing up, and finally, becoming the protagonist of the scandal or the supporting role of sadness. Take the TV station's ratings to the next level.

Liang Pengfei succeeded, his extremely inflammatory sycophant was like an overdose of chicken blood needle, which made Robert's eyes a little red, suppressed his somewhat heavy snort, and tried to keep his expression calm: "Of course, Your Excellency, honorable Führer, in order to make the ship no longer afraid of the merciless storm and waves, and no longer have to control the unpredictable wind with difficulty, so that the passengers in the ship can be more comfortable and safe." I would love to dedicate my life's energy to this cause, even if it is my life. The blood was surging in Robert's brain, and at this moment, he felt that he was about to embark on the pinnacle of science......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Another deceived master, I don't know how many talents our husband has abducted from the West......" Pan Bingjie whispered in Shi Xianggu's ear. The long black eyelashes on the big eyes flickered, and they were exceptionally pure.

"Don't talk nonsense, they are voluntary, besides, I think the husband did the right thing, think about the day to be able to sail a thousand miles, indestructible warship on the sea, that feeling, must be incomparably wonderful." Shi Xianggu stretched out her hand and twisted Pan Bingjie's pink little face, and her eyes were full of the kind of golden light that was unforgiving.

"I'd love to try the kind of yacht that our dear husband is talking about." Maria thought with joy, not noticing the intoxicated expression of Shi Xianggu beside her, who was about to faint, perhaps only a female surname like Shi Xianggu, who had lived at sea for many years, would be so concerned about the change of the ship.

Watching those strange ships that came and left gradually disappear below the rippling sea level, all the hearts of all the people were quite emotional and touched, especially Zhao Yi. Unexpectedly, now even iron can be used to build ships, even if there is only one such warship, this kind of steel-cast, invulnerable monster is enough to make the entire coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty drink a big pot.

Thinking about the naval warships he had seen when he was serving under Li Shiyao, compared with Liang Pengfei's giant ships and heavy artillery, Liang Pengfei could clean up seven or eight rounds of coastal defense in the entire Qing Dynasty with sea power alone.

And the strength of his army, the kind of guns that fire continuously, and the kind of artillery that is so fast that it makes people tingle, and the power that far exceeds the black powder when it explodes, Zhao Yi really can't imagine.

Look at the troops of those Western colonists who are also full of firearms, they still become reptiles in front of Liang Pengfei's elite troops, and any army in the court can dare to compete with Liang Pengfei's troops on the battlefield face to face, unless it is a dream.

And from the mouth of his disciple, he learned that the main reason why Liang Pengfei had not taken action to overthrow the Manchu Qing court for a long time was that he was worried that the long-term war would bring heavy trauma to the people in the land of China, and his good impression of Liang Pengfei finally changed from minus 100 to a positive value, however, he still felt that this little guy was not pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't say the specific reason himself, but he admired this decisive and reserved young man.

In fact, it was because Zhao Yi, a master who was full of poetry and books, conceited and unparalleled, and had amazing martial arts, actually wanted to work for a guy who was born as a pirate, so he always felt that Liang Pengfei was unpleasant to look at subconsciously.

After all, in this era, the sense of superiority of literati is very strong, and Zhao Yi, a literary veteran who has been famous for decades, is even more so.

After the ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed, but Liang Pengfei invited several businessmen such as Pan Youdu to accompany him to visit the newly built Kowloon City.
