I looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a small cargo ship parked on the shore, and people were moving things up and down the ship, and I didn't see anything unusual about it.

I couldn't help but look at Wang Shaoting with questions, but he just looked at me with a faint smile and didn't explain.

"Hmm...... You're talking about...... The ship? I asked tentatively.

This Brother Chen saw that I didn't know anything at all, and shouted anxiously: "Yes, that's it!" ”

Isn't it just a ship, what kind of artifact? I see a lot of boats on the river...... Ay?

When I looked at the boats moving in the river, I did notice that there was something incongruous, the boats of similar size in the river all protruding from the sides of the boats, and the boats inside were full of rowers.

There was no pulp on the side of the ship in front of him, but there was a parallelogram of wooden fan at the tail, as if it had been nailed with some boards, and it was slowly swinging with the shaking of the hull.

"It's ......" I pointed to it, not knowing which word to use to describe it.

"It's a lure." Wang Shaoting said.

As soon as he said that, it dawned on me. The picture of a small fishing boat on the Jiangnan River immediately appeared in my head, and an old man standing behind the boat was rocking the oar, and his beautiful daughter was sitting in front of the boat.

But is there anything special about this oar? Except for a little bigger.

Wang Shaoting obviously saw that my lack of common sense came up again, and explained: "Usually rowing is made of pulp, sometimes lifting and sometimes falling, and when it is lifted, there is no way to push the boat forward. But the oars are different, they can continue to rock left and right, just like a fish swinging its tail, and can maintain its thrust all the time. Not only is it faster, but it can also be saved by at least half in terms of labor. ”

"It turns out that I'm still not convinced, and I made a bet with the Shaoting brothers to let my guys play against him, and the result was a defeat, hahaha!" Brother Chen said with a smile.

Now I completely understood, after a long time, it turned out that Wang Shaoting came to help others do technological innovation. In my opinion, many things that have become commonplace are still rare in this era, and helping others to improve can not only make money, but also promote social progress, which is really a great thing!

Now this thing is not done by me, a modern person, but by Wang Shaoting, a kid who seems to be powerless, he is worthy of being my brother!

"Now this can only be used temporarily, if you want to make a more durable and durable oar, one day is definitely not enough, I will draw the drawings to you later, and let the shipyard do it." Wang Shaoting said.

Brother Chen couldn't help but praise and thank you again.

So we stayed there all afternoon, when Wang Shaoting went to draw pictures and guide people's homes, I was bored, so I asked Brother Chen, who had been accompanying me all the time, and said, "When I was walking on the street just now, I saw a very grand mansion in Beicheng, whose house is that?" ”

He said: "Needless to say, it must be the most powerful family here, and the family of the river is boiling Zhang." ”

I nodded and thought to myself, that old man turned out to be not Zhang Heng, what was the matter with the ground motion instrument?

Hearing this, a man dressed like a bookkeeper next to him said: "That Lord Zhang is a strange person, not only proficient in government affairs, but also proficient in mathematical ingenuity, and the plowman he promoted is now used by many farmers." I heard that their family has a car, and they don't need to be pulled by cows and horses, and they can do it for three days and three nights on their own! ”

I've seen this mastery of Karakuri with my own eyes, and I really can't play with that kind of thing without a little technical level. But it's too exaggerated to be able to run a car for three days and three nights, even modern times don't have such advanced things! Eighty percent of them were made up by ordinary people in order to praise others.

However, I still admired the fact that a magistrate could love science so much, and I couldn't help asking: "He is so capable, why is he still here as a magistrate and has not been promoted to the court?" ”

When the tent man heard my question, he seemed a little disdainful and said, "What are you talking about, Shinong and industrialist, each has a destiny, and governs people as the foundation and things as the end." No matter how much you know about ingenuity, it's also a side-by-side way, where is the political achievement? ”

What he meant by this was that no matter how good you were at making things, it would only be a small skill of carving insects, and you would not be useful for any bird in your career.

This statement surprised me a little, they all said that the ancient people were smart, and the four great inventions were world-famous, and now it seems that it is definitely not a lie. But why did you let the Westerners beat you up in the end? It seems that it's because the big **** doesn't take this cleverness seriously at all!

I looked at Wang Shaoting, who was busy not far away, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

But then again, looking at the old man's intoxicated look, I knew that he had thought about it very openly. Even if it is not helpful to the career, as long as you satisfy your curiosity and can benefit the people by the way, you are already very satisfied. I think many ancient scientists had this kind of awareness.

I remember that when I was a child, my dream was to be a scientist, and if I did, how majestic I would be now......

I was thinking and thinking about it in a daze. It wasn't until Wang Shaoting arranged all the things about the oars that the two of us said goodbye and left the port. Brother Chen looks like a rough man, but he is very trustworthy and righteous, not only gave us silver, but also thanked us for a long way before parting.

Seeing that the agreed meeting time was approaching, Wang Shaoting and I chatted and walked towards the city gate. I couldn't help but praise him again, and then said, "I don't know how Daddy Yan and Rui worry about them?" ”

Wang Shaoting said: "I'm curious, where to catch ghosts in broad daylight? ”

As soon as I saw it, he was still worried about Rui a little more, so I teased: "She won't go to wash clothes and cook for others, haha!" ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a "horn", and I don't know what hit the back of the head, and there was a hot pain.

I covered my head and looked back, but I didn't see any special people, and then I looked down at the ground, and it turned out that it was a clod of dirt that hit me.

Maybe it's a child who is naughty and throws around, I didn't think much about it, and continued to walk forward with Wang Shaoting.

After walking not far, I just turned a corner, and suddenly felt a block under my feet, and I was unstable on my feet for a while, and I fell forward on a big horse!

Wang Shaoting was not much better, although he stretched out his hand to support the ground, he still rolled to the side, and his white clothes were stained with a lot of dust.

Before I could get up, I heard a hearty laugh, followed by a crisp voice shouting, "Tell you two to speak ill of me!" ”

I don't have to look up to know that this is the masterpiece of Aunt Rui Wei, who can't be provoked!

Sure enough, when I stood up and looked back, there was a thin line pulled horizontally behind me, and the tentacles were cold and tough, and I didn't know what it was made of. Because it was too thin, we didn't see it, so we fell for her trick.

Rui Wei jumped down from the wall next to him, bent down to collect the thread, and tucked it into his waist.

I was curious and asked, "What is this, so sturdy?" ”

"Dragon's Rope." She replied.

I turned my head again and asked Wang Shaoting, who was dusting off his clothes, "What is this thing made of?" ”

Wang Shaoting said with a tiger face: "How do I know, you ask her to go for her things." ”

I gave Rui Wei a thumbs up and said, "Count you ruthless!" But this time he didn't beat us with a stick, he was already merciful, right? ”

Wang Shaoting said unappreciatively: "You know that you are powerful with us, have you completed your task today?" ”

This kid wants to die with such a hard tone!

Sure enough, Rui Wei's face changed, and he pouted and said, "No ......"

Seeing the somewhat mocking expression on Wang Shaoting's face, she immediately tilted her head and said, "But it's too soon, it's tonight!" ”

"What are you doing tonight?" I asked.

She tilted her face and said, "I'm going to fight with the most powerful Ghost Hunter Heavenly Master here!" ”
