Chapter 264: Ironclad Ship
A huge carriage pulled by eight horses, is slowly driving on the road outside Yecheng City, after careful modification by Li Carpenter, the leader of the research group, this carriage is unique in the shock absorption effect, even if the carriage runs faster, the people in the car will not feel bumpy, it is more comfortable than sitting in an ox cart, of course, this also depends on the road outside Yecheng to build both wide and open and smooth and comfortable. [No pop-ups. ใโกโชโขโข.?ใ
In the huge carriage, Chen Yu was playing with two big fat boys, these two well-nourished little fat men were really good, at least a hundred times stronger than Chen Yu's body when he was a child, especially the second child of the Chen family, it may be the reason why his parents are both martial arts, and this kid's strength is even greater than his brother who is more than half a year old.
In the wide carriage, the four women were divided into two sides, watching the young father and child playing, seeing that the prime minister of the dynasty was so disregarding the image, they could not help laughing, Chen Yu's three wives and one concubine had a complete lineup, and they got along harmoniously, so that Chen Yu greatly enjoyed the blessings of the Qi people, and now Helian Xue is also pregnant, and soon the Chen family will be filled in again.
The carriage had not traveled far out of the city before it stopped steadily, and the coachman reminded in a low voice: "Master, the Xuanwu Pool has arrived!" โ
"Got it!" Chen Yu replied, then immediately opened the car door and jumped down, then took the children from Erzhu Ying'e's hands, and hugged them one by one, Yu'er immediately helped Helian Xue to get out of the carriage, although this Hun beauty is pregnant, but she is really an idle master, how can you not join in the excitement...
"Do you know the origin of this Xuanwu Pool?" Chen Yu carried a child on one shoulder, and asked casually while walking towards the pond with everyone.
"This artificial lake was built by Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when he trained the navy here in order to dominate the world, but the result was still a fiasco!" Erzhu Yu'er said slowly.
"Yes, this artificial lake has been neglected due to years of war, and there is only a puddle left, and I asked people to rest and plan it a while ago! Benxiang is now going to train the water army here! Chen Yu said with a smug look: "He Cao Apu is also the prime minister, and I am also the prime minister, but I will definitely complete what he can't do." I don't know what future generations will say about me! โ
"How can you evaluate the ability to govern the world? A traitor in troubled times! Helian Xue teased first, and then changed her voice before saying: "If you talk about governing the country, the north before was even more chaotic than the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now that the world is peaceful in just a few years, and the people's lives are getting better and better, this capable minister who governs the world, I think you are much more suitable than that Cao Cao, but is this traitorous male......"
"Just talk about treacherous words. The husband seems to be much more treacherous than Cao Apu, and there are many more people who have been cheated by the husband than by Cao Cao! Erzhu Ying'e followed suit and said.
"Cao Cao's martial arts and martial arts are talented, and I am inferior, but he is too arrogant after he unified the north, and treats such a big thing as a hunt, and there is no reason to be invincible!" Chen Yu thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is no monolith in the north, and before the reform is completed, I will not use troops against the south easily!" โ
"If you talk about martial arts. โโกโโโชโชโ โขโ โ ใ Husband, you set up a school and attach importance to education, and the permanent employment of people is also eclectic, and a large number of children from the poor family have been promoted. Wang Qiuye was tranquil, but when she saw that her admired husband said that she was inferior to others, she was extremely opposed, and immediately defended:
"As for martial arts, not to mention, Cao Cao's campaign against Yuan Shao's family was very unsmooth, and he was even embarrassed by Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Ma. also did the shameless act of slaughtering the city and digging graves, which can compare to the husband and the king, who has no last resort, wins a hundred battles, and loves the people like a son. Easily pacify the crowd and integrate the world! โ
"My sister is right, in terms of talent, Jian'an's style is indeed extraordinary, but I think Fujun's poetry attainments are better than Cao Cao's, not to mention that Fujun you still have a wonderful pen!" Er Zhu Yuer also helped.
"Huh!" Chen Yu smiled extremely embarrassed this time. It's really a lover's eyes, it's a pity that all these talents are fakes, and his ability depends more on the experience ......of later generations, Chen Yu didn't want to continue to entangle on this topic, and hurriedly shouted to Carpenter Li, who had been waiting for a long time: "Lao Li, how are you preparing!" โ
"If you go back to the master, everything has been prepared, and the big guys are waiting for your acceptance by the lord!" Carpenter Li replied respectfully.
"Ready to start!" Chen Yu waved his hand and said softly.
Carpenter Li agreed, straightened his waist, and then picked up the small flag in his hand and waved it in the direction of the center of the pool, and then the flag was also waved on the opposite side as an echo, and there was an ironclad warship floating in the pond, and the voyage of the ironclad ship was about to begin.
Er Zhu Ying'e and others have heard Chen Yu mention the use of iron to build ships, although the wives have some blind worship of Chen Yu, but they are still not very confident in the fact that iron can float in the water, and now that they see the real thing, they can be regarded as completely convinced.
However, soon there was something that made them even more shocked, that is, the boat moved ...... by itself when no one was paddling, and it was very slow at first, and after a while, the degree was lifted, and then it was simply running in the huge artificial lake, not to mention Er Zhu Ying'e and others, even the two little guys on Chen Yu's shoulders were stunned, and even forgot about crying.
"Yes, let's send someone to the big river or the sea to try it next, after all, we will use this thing on the Yangtze River and the Southeast China Sea sooner or later!" Chen Yu handed over the child on his shoulder to his wife, who was still surprised, and then patted Lao Li's shoulder, "How is the car being studied!" โ
"Lord Qiyu, the steam-driven car is simpler than the ship, but the wheels are more demanding, because of the furnace and other high-pressure equipment, the weight of the car is very large, ordinary wheels are difficult to bear, and some large wheels are too bulky, we are studying solutions!" Carpenter Li said honestly.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry!" Chen Yu sighed lightly, he is now more and more eager for rubber, but as long as there is a steamboat, it will be much easier to go farther in the future, although there are still many technical problems that need to be solved for the time being, but Chen Yu feels that these are not a thing, as for the train, Chen Yu has no clear plan for the time being, and it is not an easy thing to make rails!
If the technology of ironclad steamship production is more mature, and the personnel operation is more proficient, in the face of the water war of the Southern Army in the future, it will definitely be invincible, and the form is basically like an adult bullying a child, and it doesn't take too many skills at all, and a direct rampage can make the opponent's fleet shattered.
This is still the premise that Chen Yu does not want to use gunpowder, if the ship is loaded with artillery, it can basically solve the problem of the shore in the water, then it is really arrogant, due to the reasons of later generations, in Chen Yu's thoughts, whether it is the southerners or the grassland people, including the ethnic minorities in the northeast, they are all their own compatriots, Chen Yu is unwilling to use hot weapons against them, but it is difficult to say about the use of steam ships in the future.
Any sea coachman will be left far behind, and the Chen fleet loaded with artillery will be rampant across the seven seas, not only to make maritime trade prosperous and recreate the Maritime Silk Road, but also to build a more powerful empire on which the sun never sets. (To be continued.) )
