Chapter 237: Wave-Resistant Ship Type
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zhu Xi hadn't figured out what kind of institution Gewuyuan was, but the word Gewu was one of the words he used quite frequently, almost more frequently than words like Shangrenyi, Li, Zhixin.
However, since the time of his arrival in the SAR, the entry for "Gewu" has often appeared in the "Special Administrative Region News", and the meaning seems to be different, and it seems to refer specifically to the so-called "scientific research".
Zhu Xi felt a great pressure, saying that he had studied this "science" over the years, such as studying astronomy for several years, but the "science" he studied was nothing in front of Mao Geng and the "Hatang returnees".
Well, the dean of the Gewu Academy, it seems that Mao Geng is the best choice.
However, that ironclad chariot is too powerful, and its attraction is even beyond astronomy, if you refuse, maybe the ironclad chariot will be missed, and besides, it occupies the position of the dean of Gewu, and can probably master the latest technology at any time, the opportunity is very rare!
Zhu Xi was obviously a little hesitant, and the expression on his face revealed his tangled mentality.
6 Jiuyuan smiled:
"Brother Yuan Hui, there is an end to life, doesn't Brother Yuan Hui hope to restore the Central Plains in his lifetime! I think that if Brother Yuan Hui participated in the creation of the ironclad chariot, he might be able to build the ironclad chariot a year or two earlier, and for the ironclad chariot to be born as soon as possible, this Gewu Dean should also be appropriate, and it should be appropriate. And Brother Yuan Hui, all over the world, when it comes to 'Gewu', who can compare with Brother Yuan Hui, this Dean of Gewu is naturally none other than Brother Yuan Hui. ”
Zhao Yan originally had a soy sauce expression, but at this time, he also felt that what 6 Jiuyuan said seemed to make a lot of sense, and he tried his best to persuade him at the moment.
Zhu Xixin said, 6 Jiuyuan reminded right, he is over sixty years old, I am afraid that there will be a few years left, in this case, when you get up for the rest of your life and make a contribution to the great cause of the Northern Expedition, well, then it will be difficult to be the dean of Gewu.
In this way, the title of the first dean of Gewu in history fell on Zhu Xi's head.
Not to mention that Mao Geng gave up the position of Dean of Gewu to Zhu Xi, it is said that the two foreigners Porter and Rodman have also stayed in the Special Administrative Region for a certain time, and the two of them stayed in a place where the yellow race is dominant, and it is impossible to say that there is no idea, and the two came to Mao Geng's special office together today, until Mao Geng returned from the National Palace, and as soon as Mao Geng entered the office, he sincerely invited Mao Geng to dinner.
Mao Gengxin said, these two guys are good at Chinese, these two people must be thinking about themselves, so let's call Lao Qiu. Mao Geng had an extra heart, and he dined alone with these two Yi people, and the Song people here didn't know what to think about.
In addition to Chinese food, Hatang Restaurant also has Western food, such as steak, pork chop, and deer chop, Porter and Rodman ordered deer steak, Taiwan produces sambar deer, venison is not expensive, but cattle are basically used as cultivated cattle, during this period of reclamation in Taiwan, cattle are particularly valuable, so Hatang Restaurant rarely has steak, the taste of deer steak is not much different from steak, the two of them hold copper knives and forks, while enjoying deer steak, while expressing their meaning.
In order to more accurately understand the meaning of the two foreigners, Li and Qin were also called by Lao Qiu to accompany them, Li and Qin are Malaysian Chinese, English and Chinese are very fluent, with him, when the two foreigners can not communicate in broken Chinese, then there is also Li Heqin the translator.
"Mao, we, want to go to Australia." Potter said in broken Chinese.
"You're both going to Australia? I said Potter, don't you want to go to America! Changed your mind? Lao Qiu felt that Potter was very good, and he said that he wanted to stay in Annan and make Annan pay, and then he came to the Special Administrative Region, claiming that after building a Galen-type wave-fighting ship according to his design, he would cross the Pacific Ocean and go to the Americas.
"Qiu, I, I must go to the Americas, BuT, I have to go to Australia first, and then to the Americas."
After Porter finished speaking, he spoke to Li Heqin again in English, and after Li Heqin's translation, Mao Geng and Lao Qiu finally understood, it turned out that Porter was worried that there were Indians in the Americas, and Porter might be torn to pieces by the Indians if he went alone, and repeatedly wanted to mobilize Rodman to sail with him to the Americas, but Rodman thought that it was better to go to Australia than to go to the Americas, so he did work to let Porter go to Australia with him.
Potter thought about it, and Rodman was right, after all, Australia is much closer than the Americas, and the aborigines of Australia are much easier to deal with than the Indians of the Americas, and in terms of risk, the risk of going to Australia is much lower than that of the Americas.
In addition, both Rodman and Porter have a sense of racial alienation, although the Great Song Dynasty is leading the world in this era, but the two of them often have unfriendly eyes staring at them in the special area full of yellow people, which makes people very uncomfortable. Even if there are a number of Persian merchants settled here, it is far from being called an immigrant society, so Potter or Rodman always hopes that there will be more white people living around him in the future, and Australia happens to be the homeland of Rodman in the future, and the distance from Europe in this era is not too far, Australia is close to Europe, although the Suez Canal has not been dug in this era, but through the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, and then take a ship to the southeast, you can reach Australia. I hope that when the news comes out, there will be a large number of white people panning for gold in Australia, and even if Australia is not dominated by whites, at least it will not be all Chinese.
Of course, the most important thing is that because Australia is the location of the legendary "Hatang Kingdom", sooner or later the crossing is going to Australia, even if the crossing does not go, the good deeds of the Great Song Dynasty have long admired the name of "Hatang Kingdom", and a wave of exploration and treasure hunting craze to the "Hatang Kingdom" is coming, and sooner or later someone will find Australia.
"I'm going to Australia with Mr. Potter, and it's even better if there is anyone else who wants to go with them. We are part of the Crossing Crowd, and we lead people to occupy Australia, where there are countless iron mines, which are exactly what the Special Administrative Region needs. If we don't go to Australia again, it may be too late, and the emperor of your Song Kingdom may occupy Australia first, and when the time comes, the lie of 'Ha Tang Kingdom' will wear bags, Mao, Qiu, aren't you worried! ”
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Rodman, yes, we're going to Australia, but it seems too early. I say responsibly that the time to go to Australia should be six months or a year later, when Mr. Porter's Galen-type wave resists are built one by one, and at least three such ships form a flotilla, and in addition to the two of you, at least six hundred people must go together, carrying muskets and cannons with them, two dear gentlemen, please tell me if what I said makes sense! ”
When Potter heard it, the meaning of Mao Geng's words, at least he did not object to his two whites leading the voyage to Australia, and Potter said in his heart that waiting for a year and a half was certainly not a problem. But what Potter and Rodman don't know is that Mao Geng is actually not very happy in his heart, ya, these two foreigners, they want to divide one side so quickly, what kind of person! Of course, it's a procrastination trick for the first time, and maybe Potter will change his mind again.
Potter felt good. Since he felt that the effect of the temptation was good, Potter began to slap Mao Geng's ass:
"Mao, you are really a genius, the olive-shaped wave boat designed and built is amazing, I believe that no wind or wave can sink it, I dare say, it is the safest sea ship in the world."
Before crossing the crowd and coming to the Special Administrative Region, Mao Geng was inspired by the submarines of later generations to design an olive-shaped surface vessel, and a few days ago, this olive-shaped ship was completed and launched, and after the sea trial, at least it proved that the wave resistance is unparalleled.
"Oh, Peter, you've won the prize! Far from being a science of design, the ship has many design loopholes, is difficult to build, expensive to build, and slow to sail. Speaking of which, the design of the Galen wave boat you designed is more reasonable, and I think that if you want to build a wave boat in the future, it is a natural choice to choose the ship type you designed before there is no better boat type. Peter, you're the genius at designing wave-resistant boats! ”
Mao Geng said this, not too modest, Mao Geng originally designed the wave-resistant boat according to the drop-shaped concept of the submarine in later generations, but after it was built, the shape was like an olive at all, so the "olive boat" was called like this. The prototype olive boat has a displacement of 1oo tons, and the olive ship has doors on both sides and a door at the stern, which is used to load and unload cargo. The design of the door is based on the sealed doors of the cabin of later aircraft, but in this way, the difficulty of construction is greatly increased, fortunately the ship is not large, otherwise, the cost is not known to be outrageous.
Close the side and stern doors, the whole ship is like an olive, driven by a steam turbine, this ship is really not suitable for a hybrid sea ship, to be honest, a big olive and then a mast sail, it is too inconsistent.
Comparatively speaking, Porter's Galen wave boat is much more reasonable, one of which can be built very large, the first batch of trial production of this type of wave boat is 6oo tons, its cost is of course higher than that of ordinary sea vessels, but the cost is acceptable. Secondly, the boat is hybrid, so it is far ahead in terms of range.
A month ago, after Han Yanxuan looked at the design of the ship, he placed three orders in one go, and Han Yanxuan was ready to use this ship as the main ship type for ocean transportation in the Taiwan and Song Dynasty Sea Trade. Mao Geng objected to the trial production of three ships at once at the beginning, thinking that it was too risky to be unverified, but he couldn't stand Han Yanxuan's insistence, and finally the three ships were launched at the same time.
A month ago, three ships of this type were trial-produced at the same time, and after the successful trial of the olive boat, Mao Geng's crossing group also decided to order one, so now the number of Galen-type wave-resistant boats under construction in the slipway has increased to four.
Before the advent of the Galen-type wave-fighting boat, the olive boat was the safest ship of this era, at least, Zhao Lian was quite satisfied with the olive boat, this ship has now become Zhao Lian's boat, at least, from the SAR to Taipei, there is no need to worry.
Lao Qiu did not hesitate to praise, whether it was olive or Galen, Lao Qiu praised it, which made Mao Geng blush a little, but the more proud the Potter guy listened.
proudly, he talked about Zhu Xi:
"Mao, you asked Zhu Xi to be the dean of Gewu, maybe it was a wrong idea. In the words of you Chinese, this is a layman leading an insider, aren't you worried that it will bring disaster to the science fair! ”
"Potter, I think you're too proud, I dare to say, Zhu Xi's IQ is higher than you and me, and he was originally a scientist of this era, and he was quite accomplished in astronomical research. I believe that with Zhu Xi as the dean of Gewu Academy, it will definitely be full of talents and fruitful results. ”
Mao Geng said this in his mouth, but said in his heart, it is true that there are many talents, at least Wang Yunzhi is willing to stay in Gewuyuan in order to be a disciple of Zhumen, and I believe that there will be no fewer such people. However, if you want to say that it will be fruitful, it is difficult to say.
