Lu Chengqi didn't wait for the other carriages to be in place, and took the lead towards Royal Roads University. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Jang Jae followed closely behind, and the two of them looked like father and son. The supervisor guarding the door, according to the rules set by Lu Chengqi, insisted on checking the tokens of the two before letting them go.

After entering the Royal Roads University, Lu Chengqi couldn't wait to say, "Take me to see the new warship!" ”

Realizing the slip of the tongue, Lu Chengqi hurriedly added two more words: "Model ......"

That impatient look made Zhang Zai want to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh. Holding back a smile, he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, according to your will, the Royal Universities are all being expanded, and this warship model will have to wait for the pool to be completed before it can continue to be tested." Nowadays, the model is just an ornament. ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned, Shen Kuo also told him about this situation. It's just that so many days have passed, and Lu Chengqi thought that the pool had been built. But it doesn't matter, Chang'an City is adjacent to the Feng River, what water experiments can be compared to testing in a real river? It's just a few more steps, in order to see the performance of the new warship, such hardship, endurance!

Lu Chengqi, who had made up his mind, said: "It's good to meet the model, let's lead the way......"

Zhang Zai shook his head, and after taking Lu Chengqi through the garden of the Royal University, the quaint style building, he finally came to the experimental area. This place, if it was the original Zhang Zai, he would not have come in if he was killed. Such a smoky environment, as well as a group of scientific maniacs, make some people who claim to be elegant people avoid it, where would they ever think of stepping into it one day?

It's just that Zhang Zai, who realized the meaning of the saint, understood that if he wanted to know about it, he had to do it himself. In addition, thanks to the fact that the little emperor can afford to hire him as a lecturer at the Royal University, how can he not fulfill his duties? So, after learning all about Royal Roads University, Zhang Zai suddenly became obsessed with this instrument, so he had the previous emotion.

Bringing the little emperor to the test area, Zhang Zai also wanted to call Shen Kuo, who was working, out, but Lu Chengqi stopped him. Now, the trio who made the first rifle in this time and space have dispersed. Su Song led the overall situation, taking into account cannon casting and shipbuilding; Tang Xun is specifically responsible for casting cannons, who called his specialty iron smelting; And Shen Kuo's carpentry work is better, and he didn't run away from shipbuilding.

For this reason, all three of them protested to Lu Chengqi, because both are new things, and these scientific maniacs who have become obsessed with invention and creation want to have both fish and bear paws. But Lu Chengqi said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and those who give up fish and take bears are also competitive. According to each person's strengths, it cannot be refuted. Because of these two things, they are the sharp weapons that Dashun is about to put on the battlefield, and with them, Dashun can always protect the country.

Lu Chengqi pressed each other with righteousness, and the three of them succumbed. It's just that in private, they all secretly envy Su Song. There's no way, who calls him capable, it can only be that the capable work harder.

However, after the drawings of the new warship were completed, Su Songren was not often absent from Royal Roads University. If nothing else, on the side of the Ordnance Superintendent, there was a big trouble with the cannon casting, and the two top scientists of Ji Dashun couldn't handle it, and Lu Chengqi also felt that if he wanted to build an iron cannon, he still had to wait for another year or two. No way, the technology required for casting cannons is too high, especially an iron cannon that can shoot steadily. And Dashun's technical reserves are not enough, so he can only fight IQ to make up for it. Lu Chengqi felt fortunate that if it weren't for the famous Su Song and Shen Kuo in history, I am afraid that even the prototype of the iron cannon might not be able to be made. Even now, the waste of good steel has accumulated more than tens of thousands of catties, although it can be recycled and reused, but this consumption is still amazing.

Of course, Lu Chengqi, who had long known that it was not easy to cast cannons, did not place too much hope on it. The Hongxiang rifle can be made by mistake, and it is also a **** luck, and the principle of the Mini rifle can be found in order to complete the battle. But Lu Chengqi, who was not familiar with the casting of the cannon, was completely blind when it came to the matter of casting the iron cannon, and he could only let Su Song and Tang Xun do it.

Walking to Shen Kuo, who was carefully polishing the model, Lu Chengqi looked at the new warship in Shen Kuo's hand with interest, but his heart was full of doubts. In his opinion, this so-called new-style warship seems to be unremarkable, and even Lu Chengqi has seen the car and ship, so he couldn't help but be puzzled, and suddenly asked: "Shen Qing, this is a new-style warship, how is it completely different from the drawings I saw before?" ”

Shen Kuo was startled, turned his head to look, only to find that Lu Chengqi was standing behind him, and hurriedly got up and gave a long salute and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Chengqi said: "No need to be polite, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Shen Kuo hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty." This model, in fact, is not a new warship, but a horse ship. ”

"Horse boats? What is it used for, is it used to transport horses? Lu Chengqi asked puzzled.

Shen Kuo explained: "Back to Your Majesty, this horse boat can be transported by everyone. Your Majesty, please see, this horse ship cabin can carry people in front and horses in the back. If it is a single troop transport, a ship can hold up to 300 people. ”

Lu Chengqi took a look, indeed, the body of this horse ship is huge, and the capacity must also be huge. And there is no wood pulp on both sides, and it is powered by eight masts, so that it can indeed carry some more soldiers. It's just speed, presumably not going anywhere.

Lu Chengqi asked again: "This horse boat is made of keel technology?" ”

When Shen Kuo heard this, he immediately sighed: "Your Majesty's learning is really a celestial man, this keel was proposed by Your Majesty, and the ministers and others found that the ships made of keels can be navigated regardless of rivers, lakes and seas, which is really a miraculous skill." ”

Lu Chengqi only felt that his face was hot, he only knew that he had half a claw, but in fact, he didn't know anything about how the keel was made. However, science and technology are like this, and what is often missing is just a direction. Lu Chengqi broke this direction, which naturally made everyone like Shen Kuo convincing.

Lu Chengqi saw that everyone admired Shen Kuo for such a science, and he was not happy at all, but a feeling of stealing something and being a thief, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Is the watertight compartment designed by the way, I think this invention is good!" ”

Shen Kuo said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it was not invented by the ministers, this watertight compartment was already available in the previous dynasty. The ministers are just picking up the wisdom of their predecessors......"

Lu Chengqi once again revealed his ignorance, but he was thick-skinned and admitted directly: "I haven't studied it, and it's nothing strange if I don't know, Shen Qing just know it." By the way, now that there are horse ships, where are the new warships? ”

Shen Kuo heard this, turned around and slowly took down a huge battleship from the shelf behind him, Lu Chengqi was fascinated by this huge ship made of real proportions when he saw it: "This ...... This is a new type of warship? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the drawing that was presented to Your Majesty some time ago, a new warship made of thirty times the size of the ship." Shen Kuo said proudly, looking at the model of this giant battleship, Shen Kuo looked at his own child, his eyes were full of pride. (To be continued.) )
