Chapter 707: The Steam Engine (2)
I saw Zhang Yuchu fix the iron bar, and then began to ignite, igniting the fire under the steam engine, which was already warm water, immediately boiled, and then saw the steam engine come out of the white eyes, and the front piston also began to move back and forth, it didn't look very powerful, but when Zhang Yuchu handed the fixed iron bar, the iron bar was crushed without any struggle, and the thick incision of the thumb was still clearly visible.
"What!"
Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu and the others all widened their eyes, what kind of thing is this, how can there be such a great power, even if it is a sharp knife, if you want to cut this iron bar so neatly, you have to use a strong man.
"Hmph, do you still dare to say that this is a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron?"
Zhang Yuchu snorted coldly, Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong and the others looked at each other, obviously still unable to believe what had just happened.
"Yezi, what's going on?"
Zhang Fu leaned into Hu Ye's ear, usually at this time, Hu Ye always knew the answer.
"Big brother, this is the so-called steam engine, don't look at it very good-looking, but once the water inside boils, the power it generates is enough to open the world, otherwise why do you think the iron ship outside will not have a mast?" Hu Ye smiled.
"There is no mast because there is this steam engine? Are you saying that this thing is used to drive the iron ship outside? Zhang Fu looked at Hu Ye in surprise, in his impression, if the boat wants to move, it must have wind power, or manpower to propel, and the ship without a mast is basically unable to move, not to mention the boat outside that is much heavier than the average ship.
"Don't say it's a boat, even if it's the entire city of Nanjing, as long as you give me enough iron, Lao Tzu can move him away!"
Zhang Yuchu said arrogantly, if he said this just now, maybe Zhu Yong would have beaten him with a fist. Who is an old immortal who dares to be arrogant in front of him?
But with the lesson just now, Zhu Yong no longer dares to be presumptuous, maybe this steam engine really has such a powerful power.
"Heavenly Master, big talk is big talk, let's be practical, this is just a sample, how long will it take for the finished product to be made? How long will it take to be on that boat outside? Hu Ye patted the excited Zhang Yuchu and asked loudly.
"It won't be long before the five alchemy furnaces in the academy are refining metal day and night. And this is a familiar road, in my opinion, in less than a month, the iron ship outside will be able to cross the sea! ”
Zhang Yuchu patted his chest and said.
"Okay, now it's less than two years before my five-year appointment with the emperor, and when Zheng San and the others come back, they will have to fight hard. It won't be long before our Ming Dynasty becomes famous all over the world! ”
Hu Ye was also overjoyed when he heard it, as long as there were iron ships, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty could run rampant all over the world. With the special forces on the road, it is not difficult to conquer the city!
Zhang Yuchu was very excited, because the successful development of the steam engine showed that his son did not have to die. And he will also become the chief engineer of the first iron ship, and perhaps all the iron ships in the future will be asked to supervise the construction.
But Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong were very disappointed. Because they were ridiculed by an old man today, and they didn't have the strength to fight back for half a day.
"I said Yezi, since you know that thing is so powerful, why don't you help us, but stand there and watch our jokes!"
Zhang Fu slapped Hu Ye on the shoulder, almost dislocating Hu Ye.
"I said, big brother, the conscience of heaven and earth, how did I know that old man would humiliate you so much? If I had known, I would have helped you! Hu Ye rubbed his shoulders and said very aggrievedly.
But those gentlemen all looked at Hu Ye with disdainful eyes, obviously they didn't believe Hu Ye's sophistry.
"Okay, okay, it's not someone else who sees our jokes, it's our brothers."
Zhu Yong seemed to have no skin and no face, and suddenly rushed to Hu Ye's side, and suddenly said to Hu Ye, "Yezi, the reason why you revealed your shipbuilding skills to Bei'an Sanjin is because you are sure that the Heavenly Master has developed the steam engine?" In this case, after the three catties of Bei'an returned, they would let the Japanese build a large number of large wooden boats, so that they would think that their fleet would be able to run rampant on the sea. But when they see our Invincible Armada, they will hate to break the three catties of Bei'an into pieces, and I can't wait to see the scene of the Japanese people chopping the three catties of Bei'an into pieces! ”
As soon as Zhu Yong said it, Li Tailiu Fu and the others came to their senses, and they said that Hu Ye was not a fool, how could he reveal the military secrets of the Ming Dynasty to the enemy!
"I see!"
Jinda also suddenly realized, no wonder Hu Ye ignored the warnings of several of them before, and insisted on giving Bei'an three catties of shipbuilding skills, presumably now Bei'an Sanjin has gone back to copy the drawings of the entire shipbuilding, presumably it won't be long before he will return to China, so that Ashikaga Yoshinori can build this kind of big ship quickly, and then there will be no need to be afraid of the army of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hehe, don't say this kind of thing if you know it."
Hu Ye also smiled, this kind of thing of inviting you into the urn is not the first time he has done it, and it can be regarded as a handicap.
Although the outcome of the war between Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Kuramiya Minoru is not yet known, with the cleverness of Bei'an's three catties, he must know who this secret should be handed over to when he goes back.
However, whether it is handed over to Kuramiya Minoru or Ashikaga Yoshimori, as long as he gets the drawings that Bei'an took back three catties, he will definitely be overjoyed, and he will definitely build a big ship day and night.
It's just that when they saw the invincible armada of the Ming Dynasty, they were afraid that they even had the heart to die.
"Yezi, you're really getting worse and worse."
Li Tai slapped Hu Ye on the shoulder and said with a sneer.
"Hehe, it's not a drug, it's not a husband."
Hu Ye smiled, he had a deep understanding of this sentence, whether it was Yun Zichen before or Harry Sultan not long ago, none of them were easy to mess with, in their opinion, the lives of soldiers were not lives at all, they were just tools for gambling, if it weren't for all kinds of accidents, their gambling games would have won.
However, the ending was tragic, with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers sacrificed in vain, and their gambles all ended in failure.
"By the way, how is your grandfather? Agree with your business? Hu Ye suddenly said to Li Tai.
I liked a woman in a Qinglou before, if it weren't for Li Yangming's strong opposition, I was afraid that this product would have been overlord and would marry the woman home. (To be continued......)
