After 20 minutes, the temperature of the water in the boiler began to rise, a warrior opened the steam valve, and the kinetic energy transfer lever next to the steam engine began to move, accompanied by a clang! The sound of the steam engine also vibrating, and the transmission levers on both sides began to clatter, clatter! up and down movements. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAs the water temperature of the boiler gets higher and higher, the kinetic energy transfer lever also moves faster and faster....

Lin Jiasheng saw that this huge iron lump could move, and it was a coal block to eat, this was completely a divine thing! Lin Jiasheng was surprised in his heart.

"General Sun, how does this steam engine drive the warship?"

Although Lin Jiasheng saw this steam machine move, he didn't see how it drove the battleship, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

"Boss Lin, please look here, this is the transmission pump, which is connected to the propeller outside the hull, and the whole battleship relies on the outside propeller to push the sea water forward."

Lin Jiasheng looked at the place where Sun Hao pointed out, and sure enough, there was an iron rod that stretched out to the outside of the hull, and Lin Jiasheng didn't understand what Sun Hao said about the propeller outside, it was estimated that it should be an oar or Minglun or something.

"General Sun, this steam engine is ingenious, it is simply a divine thing! Eating coal can drive such a large warship, if you give him dough or white rice, will it run faster? (Write a joke)

Hahaha! The two coal-burning warriors burst out laughing when they heard it, and Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh too.

Lin Jiasheng saw that the two people who were burning coal were laughing at themselves, and knew that they had said the wrong thing, and their faces were embarrassed.

After laughing, Sun Hao said to Lin Jiasheng: "This steam engine is driven by the hot water steam in the boiler, if you want to have steam, you must boil the water, and then convert the energy of the steam into power." To use a simple analogy, we usually use an iron pot to cook rice, and after the water in it is boiled, the lid of the pot will be lifted, which is the principle of steam kinetic energy. ”

When Lin Jiasheng heard Sun Hao's speech, he looked at this iron lump as if he didn't understand, maybe he was too stupid to understand the principle of this iron lump driving the warship.

"General Sun, since this steam engine can drive a warship, the grass people see that there are only two steam engines here, why don't you install a few more, won't it be faster?

"What Boss Lin said is very good, but our warship is a wooden structure, the steam engine is too big, too heavy, if it is placed too much, it will cause the head and tail to be unbalanced, and it will increase the pressure on the keel of the hull, so that the warship has not moved, the warship will capsize, or it will be unbalanced, and it will not be able to sail at all!"

Lin Jiasheng originally thought that if a few more steam engines were placed, the warship would be faster, but he didn't expect that there would be more mistakes instead, it seems that the interlacing is like a mountain!

After watching the steam engine, Lin Jiasheng looked at the battleship's artillery curiously, and after seeing it, his heart was shocked. Because Lin Jiasheng saw that the guns on the treasure ship were very small, not as bulky as the artillery of Western countries.

"General Sun, these cannons are also cast by their own craftsmen?" Lin Jiasheng asked curiously.

"Yes, but these cannons are not cast, but directly from steel pipes, steel processing. By lathes, grinders, milling machines..... These machines, powered by steam engines, are processed step by step. ”

Lathes, grinders, milling machines? After Lin Jiasheng heard it, he felt that he had seen too little, and he didn't know what these things were, and he didn't dare to ask in detail, for fear that he would look foreign again. At the same time, I also continue to admire the craftsmanship of these artillery, the surface is smooth, not even a sand hole, and it is even more rare that these guns can hit so far.

"General, the grass people see that these cannons do not have ignition leads? How did the cannon fire? Because Lin Jiasheng carefully looked at the tail of the artillery, he didn't find a small hole in the lead, which was completely different from the guns on his ship.

"Lin Dongjia, the process of using torches to point the lead is too cumbersome, our cannonballs are like this..."Then, Sun Hao took out a cannonball from the bullet phase and explained how to load the bullet and how to shoot ......

After Lin Jiasheng listened, he was secretly surprised in his heart, these cannons are too advanced, not only to remove the procedure that a cannon requires several people to operate, but also to improve so many processes, especially those shells, which are not iron balls, but shells that will explode when fired, which undoubtedly increases the power, no wonder he saw that a pirate warship of dozens of tons sank into the sea after being hit by a shell. These artillery pieces are so much more advanced than the artillery of the foreigners, no wonder Sun Hao threatened and opened his mouth to attack Manila, it seems that he didn't take Spain seriously at all.

Since Sun Hao is sure to defeat Spain, but it is not the best time at present, but the problem of robbing them of gold should not be big, he got a secret tip, Spain will transport from Manila in a few days to the Luzon Islands mined and from the Kou State, a total of 10 tons of silver, 50 tons of silver, and hundreds of catties of gems, although Spain has more than 20 warships to escort the treasure ship this time, but with the strength of Sun Hao's sailors, it can be snatched over, if you want to develop, you must need more gold and silver, The more Lin Jiasheng thought about it, the happier he became.

"General Sun, the secret agents of the grass people have received news that Spain will transport about 10 tons of gold, 50 tons of silver, and hundreds of catties of gems from Manila in Luzon after a while. Lin Jiasheng said excitedly.

Hey! After Sun Hao heard this, he took a breath in his heart, so much gold and silver! It is said that the colonists are very rich, but I didn't expect this to be true! Is it true that Spain in history took a lot of gold and silver from its colonies, but the Spanish royal family did not use these finances to develop the navy and army, and many of them were squandered by the royal family?

A ton of gold is worth more than 100,000 pounds, 10 tons is more than 6 million Chinese coins, plus the 50 tons of silver and gems, at least 30 million Chinese dollars.

"Boss Lin, is this news true?" Sun Hao had to doubt the reliability of this news, Spain transported so many treasures, it stands to reason that it should be kept secret, how did Lin Jiasheng get the news?

"General Sun, there are several clansmen of the grass people who are in charge of food and catering in the Spanish fleet, the commander of this fleet is obsessed with the delicious food of our people, the clan of the grass people was overheard by the commander-in-chief of the Spanish fleet when he was drunk, it is estimated that the news should be true, in fact, the grass people came to Han Da Boss this time not only to transport them living materials, but more importantly, to pass the news to him, and then find a way to snatch the gold."
