Although Mao Geng drank a lot of wine with him, his mind was still a little clear at the moment.

Mao Geng noticed that when Zhao Yan said this, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes on his face that began to flush because of alcohol. Mao Geng's heart was shocked, and he said in his heart, with Zhao Lu's IQ, his heart was uneven, but it did not delay him how to use Xia Yidao as a springboard to make a big difference, so that there was clearly an element of acting in it, look at it, the image of the victim is pretended! It seems that being suppressed like this, it would be very immoral for me to help you with Mao Geng!

Well, not only do I want to help you, but I also want to take the initiative!

Hehe, Zhao Xiaowang, you still play tricks with me after getting along for so long! Can't you just talk to me openly and honestly! After thinking about it, this creature of the royal family is a political animal by nature, and he is used to playing scheming, compared to other similar creatures, this Zhao Lian is quite sincere.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Lian to mention it, Mao Geng has already had a plan, for Zhao Luan, we have to help, and we have to help if we don't help.

Thinking of this, Mao Geng raised his wine glass, raised his head, and then patted his chest and said:

"The king's business is my Mao Yisheng's business! Please rest assured, wait for me to sum it up, come up with a plan, and I will not delay the king's major affairs. ”

Speaking of which, it would be stupid to be entangled in the matter of Xia Yi Island, Zhao Lian is a smart person, and he never mentions Xia Yi Island again at this moment, but he frequently raises his glass, clinking glasses and doing it until he gets drunk.

Mao Geng didn't know how he got home, anyway, he slept until noon the next day, and then woke up, and after waking up, his head was still swollen, and he felt that the strength of the wine had not passed.

Mao Geng had something on his mind, so he didn't go to the office in the afternoon, brought fishing tackle, found Liu Guo, and simply went fishing in Love River together.

Liu Guo is not a good fishing friend, and his fishing skills are not very good, but he is a wonderful person, and any joke told in Liu Guo's mouth will be more exciting. Liu Guo and Mao Geng fishing is not once or twice, knowing Mao Geng's fishing habits, after making a few jokes, he concentrated on fishing, and did not say much.

When he put on his hat and fished quietly, Mao Geng was thinking about whether to follow Zhao Lu to Xia Yi Island, or continue to stay here and not go anywhere, just bored and bored. When I was drinking yesterday, Mao Geng was thinking about this problem and never thought it through.

After Zhao Lu went to Xia Yi Island, he didn't know who would succeed Zhizhou, it wouldn't be Zhu Xi! 6 Jiuyuan doesn't seem to have any decent political experience, and it is estimated that he will be out of action for the time being, so it is entirely possible that a stranger will come to Taiwan to take power.

Think about it, after Zhao Lu leaves Taiwan, if he is replaced by a person in power, the SAR may not be as free as before. If there is a bad one, I'm afraid that many things will not be able to help myself, and at that time, I really don't know what to do.

While thinking wildly, he did not delay fishing, and soon, the buoy moved, and Mao Geng began to reel in the line.

In the end, it is with the cunning fish of the 21st century to have the experience of fighting wits and courage, Mao Geng's fishing skills to the 12th century of course is also extraordinary, an hour passed, Mao Geng caught eight fish, one is still a big fish, and Liu Guo's harvest can only be described as bleak, and he caught a fish of half a catty size.

Mao Geng looked at the thin fish in Liu Guo's frame and realized that it was indeed a bit inauthentic to let Liu Guo continue to accompany him, so out of sympathy, he had to close the rod.

It was still early, and Mao Geng still didn't have the heart to go to the special mansion to work, so he threw the fishing rod and fishing basket to the guards, and dragged Liu Guo to the shipyard to see the progress of shipbuilding.

The shipyard has six ships under construction at the same time, the largest of which is of two thousand tons of displacement, the remaining five, two of which are of one thousand and two of the two and three of which are of five hundred tons.

When Jiang Zhiang saw Mao Geng coming, he greeted him from afar:

"Maote, I have time to guide us in building a ship today."

Jiang Zhiang is now the director of Donghai Shipbuilding, in the past two years, the ships of Donghai Shipyard are getting bigger and bigger, more and more, the scale is not comparable to the past, the shipyard exhibition, Jiang Zhiang is also more and more in the line, in the shipbuilding industry, Jiang Zhiang has been crawling for almost two years, and now it is already the top few experts in this era.

To say that the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, in this era of the world is definitely very good, 2oo7 salvage out of the water "Nanhai No. 1" is the Southern Song Dynasty shipwreck, its displacement reached 8oo tons, the load can reach 4oo tons, this is not necessarily the largest sea ship in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

The shipbuilding foundation of the Great Song Dynasty is already strong, Jiang Zhiang has Mao Geng's guidance, plus his own smart mind and willingness to drill, it is not surprising that he has become a shipbuilding expert of this era.

When Potter didn't come, Mao Geng hung up a technical director of the shipyard, and after Potter came, Potter became the technical director, and then Mao Geng didn't need to stay in the shipyard from time to time, plus Mao Geng has been busy driving the three-expansion steam engine and the burning-ball internal combustion engine, so the number of times Mao Geng came during this time was significantly less.

Mao Geng had a very good impression of Jiang Zhiang, a young man who pursued progress, so he smiled:

"It's not about guidance, it's about coming and seeing."

At this time, Potter also came out and greeted Mao Geng in out-of-tune Chinese:

"Mao, come on, come and see, install boilers and steam engines, there are many, many problems."

Mao Geng's heart sank, could it be that the three-expansion steam engine had a problem so quickly! This 2ooo ton ship is equipped with the latest construction of three 200 horsepower three-expansion steam engines, Mao Geng is more worried that the trial operation time of this new steam engine is relatively short, or the system test has not been completed, it is likely that there are many hidden problems have not been exposed, but Han Yanxuan is very urgent, Zhao Lian also followed Han Yanxuan to coax, so after testing for a month, he hurriedly manufactured three, which is too hasty, and it is strange that the steam engine does not have problems.

Mao Geng followed Potter and Jiang Zhiang on the boat, and a large hole was exposed on the deck, which was used to hoist the boiler and steam engine, and the hole would be filled after the boiler and steam engine were installed.

Looking down from the entrance of the cave, I saw that Fan Biaoyong was directing a group of people to install the steam engine, and the scene was a little chaotic, because of the narrow space, there were many problems in installation. Mao Geng breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the steam engine had not been installed, and he thought that the steam engine had failed.

Although it is very difficult to install, Mao Geng believes that it can always be installed. In fact, although the progress below is not fast, but after all, it is still progressing slowly, Mao Geng stood for less than a while, and the shouting below temporarily stopped, and the first steam engine was in place.

Mao Geng nodded and walked towards the stern, at this moment Liu Guo was looking at the three thick steel shafts at the stern of the boat.

Liu Guo looked curious, and when he saw Mao Geng coming, he asked:

"Yi Shengte, these three huge iron shafts are the ones that drive the propellers, right!?"

"Brother Gai is really visionary, yes, these three shafts are the ones that drive the propellers. The propellers are installed only after everything else is installed. ”

Liu Guo looked suddenly enlightened and sighed:

"Such a big ship must be a big propeller!"

"Hmm. Of course, of course it's huge. Mao Gengxin said, the larger the propeller, the more difficult it is to build, but recently the technology has been improved, I believe that in the near future, it will not be a problem to build a larger propeller.

At this time, Potter also followed, pointed to the following and said:

"Mao, hurry up and get the rubber, this tail drive compartment can be removed."

The tail drive compartment that Porter was talking about was a leak-proof compartment that was deliberately set up purely because of sealing problems.

At that time, because of the fear that the propeller transmission shaft would leak directly from the stern, such a tail transmission compartment was specially designed, and the power output of the steam engine was not to directly drive the propeller transmission shaft, but to drive the front transmission shaft high above the waterline, and the front transmission shaft stretched out from the power compartment to the tail transmission compartment, and the tail transmission compartment was provided with sprocket transmission, and the propeller transmission shaft located below the waterline was driven by the front transmission shaft, so that the propeller transmission shaft did not need to reach into the power compartment at all. Because of the isolation effect of this tail transmission compartment, theoretically, there is no leakage problem at all.

But in this way, the power must first be transmitted to the front propeller shaft at a high place, and then the parallel propeller shaft below the front propeller shaft must be driven by the front propeller shaft. The power is from the bottom up, and then from the top down, the mechanism is complex, and the transmission efficiency is reduced, so Porter is a little eager to get rubber, and with rubber, there is no need for such trouble.

Mao Geng had no choice but to respond vaguely:

"Potter, be patient, maybe next year, maybe the year after that, we'll get rubber one day."

"God forbid! I wish it had been sooner! ”

It's time to sail to the Americas, Mao Geng said. After the 2,000-ton ship was built, loaded with 800 tons of coal, plus sail power, I don't know if it can cross the Pacific Ocean.

Mao Geng's heart moved, as if he asked inadvertently:

"Dear Potter, I wonder if this boat will be more comfortable than a small boat, the bigger the boat, the more comfortable?" Mao Geng remembered that when air passenger transport had not yet risen in later generations, the only choice to go to the ocean was to take an ocean steamer, as if he had not heard of a large area of seasickness, it should be a big enough ship, it would be comfortable enough, but I don't know if this 2ooo ton ship is "big enough".

"Dear Mao, after this ship is built, you can take this boat, try it, it will feel good, well, very good. However, the condition is that you don't use soft sails, try to use as few hard sails as possible, and only use steam power, and the ride will be very comfortable. If, I mean if, if all the sails were raised, probably not that would be the case. When the sails are all raised, the wind and waves are a little stronger, and the whole boat will sway and jolt, but you will not feel comfortable. Mao, I say that, do you understand? ”

This is not difficult to understand, the sea breeze is unpredictable, and the stability of the ship will be sacrificed with sail power, it seems that steam power is good, and in terms of comfort on the boat, steam power is the most loved.

Liu Guo next to him immediately drew inferences:

"In the future, warships will use steam power, right?"

Mao Geng snapped his fingers and said proudly:

"Not bad! In the future, all the warships of my Great Song Navy will use steam power, well, and internal combustion engine power. ”

"Yi Sheng, I wonder if the new emperor will be as good as a stream and order the establishment of the Great Song Navy?" Liu had heard that Han Yan had long heard that Han Yan was planning to build the Great Song Navy, but there were many rumors, and it was once very popular, but unfortunately there was no follow-up.

Obviously, the Great Song Dynasty sailors are not suitable for the current shape, and the current Great Song Dynasty is a bit exaggerated to describe it as "rich from all over the world", but Taiwan, plus Xia Yi Island and Luzon, far-sighted people can see that it is urgent to build a maritime military force to escort the sea.

Of course, without the traverser behind the push, there would be no talk of building the Great Song Navy.

Mao Geng has both joys and worries about this, and the good thing is that once the Great Song Dynasty establishes a navy, it must pay attention to sea power, and the Great Song Dynasty will be invincible. But in this way, even if he has Sun Dasheng's somersault cloud supernatural power, he can't jump out of the palm of the Buddha, no, it is the palm of the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking about it like this, the more I feel that in order to protect myself, it is urgent to sail to the Americas.
