Chapter 809: The Beginning
Under the watchful eye, the cover on the boat located in the heart of the river was finally lifted, revealing a mysterious veil in front of everyone.
Seeing the appearance of the boat, the crowd gathered on both sides of the river was in an uproar, and there was a huge uproar.
No wonder some people are surprised, because the appearance of the ship is so strange, just in the middle of the hull, the back of the hull, the boat protrudes, there is a huge round wheel hanging on the hull, as if two waterwheels for pumping water were placed on the hull, and this, not the strangest, the strangest, is the middle of the hull, obviously higher than ordinary ships, that tall thing, how to look like a chimney.
"Ah, how can there be two waterwheels hanging on the new ship, is it because you are afraid that the boat will leak and prepare in advance how to pump out the water in the boat......"
"No, even if you are afraid that the boat will leak, the waterwheel should be placed inside the boat, not outside!"
"Also, also, you see the one standing on the ship, it can't be a chimney, this ship is wooden, and it is most taboo to make a fire on it, how can there be a chimney on this ship?"
"It can't really be a chimney, it just looks like it!"
"Strange, strange......"
"There are not many people on such a ship, can they really go?"
In an instant, the entire bank of the river was filled with such noise and discussion.
But in the midst of everyone's uproar and discussion, the thing that looked like a chimney on the unveiled ship really began to smoke outside, and when the chimney on the ship was smoking, the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the river suddenly made a louder and more lively sound.
"Ah, look, look, it's smoking, it's a chimney......"
"OMG!"
After a moment of smoke from the chimney of the ship, the sharp-eyed man suddenly noticed that the two large discs like waterwheels on either side of the ship began to turn twice, and set off a wave of snowflakes on the surface of the river, making a loud rumbling sound, but in the blink of an eye it stopped again, and the appetite of the people, which had just been lifted, fell down at once.
"Ah, what's the matter, why didn't that thing turn, that sound just came from that ship......"
"It won't be like that, will it?"
After about two or three minutes, the rumbling of the ship began again, and then, in the midst of everyone's attention, the large wheels on either side of the ship began to turn like a waterwheel propelled by the current, and slowly, faster and faster, setting off a circle of waves on the surface of the river.
"It's moving, it's moving, the ship is finally moving......"
Yes, the much-anticipated ship finally began to move, faster and faster, and in just a moment's effort, it was far beyond the fastest boat that the onlookers could see in their lives, and the two waterwheel-like impellers on the ship were completely surrounded by snow-white splashes, and as the ship sailed by, two herringbone waves were dragged up at the stern......
After the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the river stayed for a while, they finally broke out into earth-shattering cheers and shouts, "It's moving, it's moving, this boat is really moving......
I saw that the boat, which was still emitting black smoke from the chimney, drove more than 2,000 meters down the river, and then turned around directly on the river, and in the rumbling sound, it traveled more than 2,000 meters against the current, and the speed was faster than those ships with manpower and wind power.
At this time, some smart people had already guessed that it must be the water and fire engine that drove the ship, but those people still felt eye-opening when they saw that the machine could push the boat on the water like this.
The boat, with its black smoke emitting from its chimney, kept moving back and forth on the river, proving its reliability to everyone, and the crowd on the shore also cheered in bursts.
After the ship had been on the ground for a while, several sails were raised on the ship's mast, and with the combined action of the sails and the water and fire engines, the ship ran faster.
......
"Brother Liqiang really can be what his predecessors can't, this ship is exquisitely conceived, with a combination of water and fire and wind, the sailing speed is faster than ordinary ships, and it is more labor-saving, and it can adapt to more rivers, hahaha, between the gestures, the elder brother will open another source of wealth for the manufacturing bureau, and the elder brother is really worthy of being the master craftsman of the Han Empire......" Looking at the test ship running fast on the river, Zhang Yourong laughed.
"Brother said with a smile, this thing is not complicated, if the brother wanted to build it, he would have made it a long time ago, and the energy of the elder brother is estimated to be spent on building something that can run on land, and that thing is more complicated than this, so let me pick up a cheap one and make a simple ......" Yan Liqiang laughed.
Yan Liqiang knew that Zhang Yourong had always wanted to make something that could run on the ground, but although there was a steam engine, the distance could make a car that could be used, or even a bionic walking device, there was still a long way to go, and more details and technical accumulation were needed.
In the last life on the earth, after the invention of the steam engine, the appearance of the automobile was nearly eighty years later than the ship, which is enough to explain a lot of problems, before Zhang Yourong had made a vehicle that could run on the road for experiments in the Lingshan faction, but the vehicle was not only expensive, but also not used, not convenient to use, greatly limited in use, there was no possibility of promotion, so after creating that thing, the master of the Lingshan faction was estimated to be dissatisfied, and did not make a big deal about it, so he threw that thing to a group of disciples of Qianjitang to figure it out, this time Zhang Yourong came to the northwest, on the surface, it was for the Lingshan faction to open the Qiyun Courtyard in the northwest and the Lingshan faction responded to Yan Liqiang's order to kill Hu, but in fact, he actually wanted to come and communicate with Yan Liqiang again, after all, in the entire Han Empire, there is only one person who can discuss and study with Zhang Yourong on the way of organ objects, and the other people are not on the same level as them.
"By the way, I don't know what the name of this new ship should be?" Zhong Jiacheng looked at the boat in the river and asked with great interest, after all, it was a young man, seeing this thing that Yan Liqiang asked the Manufacturing Bureau to make, Zhong Jiacheng suddenly became interested, and his eyes looked at the boat sailing in the river, and he almost couldn't take his eyes off.
"I think it's just a steamer!" Yan Liqiang said, calling the steam engine a water and fire engine, Yan Liqiang felt a little embarrassed, this time he won't come up with some strange names and can't get along with himself.
Zhong Jiacheng was slightly stunned, pondered for two seconds and then laughed, "Yes, yes, the blades on both sides of the hull are like flying, just enough to drive this ship, the name given by Lord Yan is also appropriate, as soon as this ship comes out, in the future, in the rivers, lakes and seas of the Han Empire, I am afraid that there will be such ships, and if other ships want to run faster than this, I am afraid it will be completely impossible!"
"This is not necessarily!" Looking at the possible future successor of the Northwest Zhong family, Yan Liqiang smiled, "In the future, there will definitely be a faster and more stable ship than this one, the sail on the ship is just a transition, sooner or later in the future, those big ships running in the rivers and seas do not need to be loaded with sails, as long as the machine is enough!"
"Ah, is there really a faster ship than this?" said Zhong Jiacheng with some skepticism.
"Yes, there will be not only such ships, but even ships made of steel in the future!" Yan Liqiang said with great certainty.
Zhong Jiacheng laughed all of a sudden, and many people next to him also laughed, "This steel is much heavier than water, in this world, where can a boat made of steel still float on the water, such a boat is made, and as soon as it is put on the water, won't it sink, hahaha, I know, Lord Guardian must be joking with me......"
Among all the people, only Zhang Yourong didn't smile, he looked at Yan Liqiang with some shock, "Brother Yan has already studied to this extent, could it be that he has discovered the mystery?"
Listening to Zhang Yourong's words, the smiles of those who were still smiling disappeared all of a sudden, and everyone looked at this world's No. 1 organ master with a look at each other, listening to the tone of this master, could the iron ship really be built?
"Haha, brother, have you already tried to make something?" asked Yan Liqiang with a smile.
Zhang Yourong nodded, "I have made a few small models, not only with steel, gold, silver, copper and lead, etc., I have tried, some models can float on water, I found that what can float on the water does not necessarily have to be lighter than water, but the principle, I haven't understood it for a while!"
Yan Liqiang blinked, "Did the old brother ever think that all the water surface is flat, and the boat is placed in the water to squeeze the water away, and what does the weight of the water squeeze out have to do with the weight buoyancy of the boat itself?"
Zhang Yourong was suddenly shocked, his eyes were stunned all of a sudden, and he just muttered to himself and repeated Yan Liqiang's words, "The weight of the drained water...... The weight of the drained water...... The weight of the drained water...... There is also the weight buoyancy of the boat...... It's a relationship...... How did I not think of it...... How did I not think of it...... When you say that, brother, you must have understood the principle of building an iron ship......
"The big one is floating, the small one is sinking, everything is the same, but it has nothing to do with the material density of the ship!" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly.
Zhang Yourong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly almost jumped up on the boat, shouting directly, with an excited face, "I see, I see, I understand, I understand, that's the truth, as long as you understand this truth, any gold ship, silver ship, earth ship, stone ship can actually be built, hahaha......"
Those onlookers were all confused, and they didn't understand what the two people said, but looking at Zhang Yourong's face and words, everyone understood that Yan Liqiang's words just woke up the world's first organ master, and made him understand the secret of building an iron ship.
But even so, the eyes of everyone on this ship looking at Yan Liqiang were still different all of a sudden, and he could guide the world's first organ master to build the mystery of the iron ship, such a person, it is estimated that there will be no second person in the world.
Just when everyone was secretly amazed on the boat, on the shore, far away, suddenly remembered a voice, "The one on the boat in the middle of the river, is it the hall master of the Lingshan Sect Qianji Hall?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw that on the upper floor of a restaurant on the shore a hundred meters away, there were several figures, standing by the window, looking here, and the one who spoke was one of the old men with extraordinary momentum and burning eyes.
Yan Liqiang's gaze flashed directly at the old man's body, and then fell on the face of a beautiful woman next to the old man, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly, "Is it Sister Mo and Ming Wangzong's friends who are here, if you don't dislike it, you can come to the boat to talk ......about it."
Seeing that Yan Liqiang provoked himself at a glance, Mo Ziye smiled at Yan Liqiang.
"Hahaha......" Feng Qinghe laughed, "Ziye, let's go over ......", as he spoke, Feng Qinghe had already flown up from the restaurant like a big bird, stepped on the treetops by the river, and then directly stepped on the waves, rushing towards the side of the boat......
Mo Ziye's light cultivation is not yet in this realm, but she also has a way, I saw Mo Ziye jump off the restaurant, step on the treetops, and shake her hand, a teacup for drinking tea was thrown out by her, the rotating teacup fell on the water, first sank slightly, and then floated up violently, when it just floated, Mo Ziye flew like a swallow, one foot on the teacup a little, and then jumped up again, and when her figure was about to fall, she threw out a cup, just like that, Mo Ziye used the cup to borrow strength on the water, and also followed Elder Feng Qinghe, and quickly rushed to the edge of the boatใ
The people around the river and the people who watched the excitement saw such a scene, and they suddenly shouted again, extremely excited, this kind of scene of top masters stepping on the waves, most people had only heard of it before, but I didn't expect to see it in person today, and although Mo Ziye's footsteps were a little slower, her movements were also chic and beautiful, and Mo Ziye's long skirt was fluttering, and the person was beautiful, when crossing the river, the whole person was like a fairy on the river, so that many people on the shore exclaimed......
