Chapter Forty-Eight: Out to Sea

Li Hao returned to the shore in a dinghy. "Young Master!" The maidservants and the long-term workers cried out.

"Iron Sheet," Li Hao glanced at the silver glittering Iron Sheet in the pile, "I have a glorious task to be entrusted to you." ”

"Why do you think I'm going to be unlucky? Look, master, you keep me in 'extremely energy-efficient' mode, and I feel sick. And the master you actually want me to do heavy work in this state, this is really a cruel torture for me. ”

Li Hao complained: "You lazy person is a big energy consumer, you consume a lot of energy and work less, it is not easy for me to support you." This time, I brought more than 20 sets of large-scale wind power generation equipment, and after you installed it, the power is quite sufficient. You will be allowed to change to 'moderately energy-efficient' mode. ”

"Ahh Great Master, you are wise and gracious. Ironhide is eternally grateful to you. I'm excited and touched right now, but, master, could you be a little more merciful and let me adjust to the 'normal' energy consumption mode? ”

Li Hao knocked on the metal door of the iron sheet "dangdang", "This kind of delay will make your master very angry, the master is very angry, and the consequences will be very serious." Work hard, the conditions are hard now, but they will gradually improve in the future. ”

Iron Hide saluted a hundred times the military salute, held his head high, and said: "Yes, master, please give an order to ensure the completion of the task." ”

Xiao Ju snorted and said, "What a sycophant, Iron Skin, I despise you." ”

"I'm excited and touched at the moment, and I don't want to be like you." Ironclad does not squint.

Xiaolan smiled: "Yo, the iron skin is still angry." Xiaozhu also said: "That's right, the tail is going to rise to the sky." ”

Li Hao pointed to the freighter at sea and said, "Tie Sheet, you take a small boat to the ship and arrange for everyone to unload the goods." Large windmills with wind power are installed in the nearby mountains. Oh yes, the ship's instructions are in the wheelhouse. ”

"Understood!" Ironhide replied.

Li Hao said to the steward of the group of long-term workers: "You cooperate with this agency person and carry the goods according to his arrangement." You ask Ding Fu again, all the cars and ships that have spare time come here to transport goods. Tell him to buy a few more mule carts and two boats. ”

After Li Hao threw the unloading work to the iron sheet, he took the maidservants back to Li's mansion.

The long-term workers of the Li Mansion had all seen the iron sheet, and they were amazed by this organ at first, but over time, they had become accustomed to its existence. But they have to listen to a person to arrange work, they think it's weird, but the young master has spoken, of course they have to comply.

Iron Sheet scanned the surrounding environment and said to the steward: "The draft of that boat is not deep, and it can be driven closer to the shore for more than 100 meters." Prepare the wooden boat to pick up the goods. Let the carpenters build a temporary small dock for the wooden boats to moor. ”

The steward nodded, and arranged for the staff to be busy. The tin went out to sea in a dinghy, got on the freighter, and went straight to the wheelhouse. It found the brick-thick manual, flipped it quickly, and in less than thirty seconds, it had finished reading the manual, and learned to steer the boat and use the lifting equipment.

Iron Sheet started the engine, put away the big anchor, and drove the cargo ship closer to the shore for more than a hundred meters, and the nearby seabed had been scanned to find the best place to anchor.

This large group of people began to get busy, and after Ding Fu returned to Qingyang Bay, he also got on the boat to take a look, and seeing that there were so many goods, he temporarily hired a group of porters to help. Even so, it took seven or eight days to unload the goods.

The cement and diesel are stored in a warehouse far away from the Li Mansion, and the Li Fu Ledger Clerk registers these materials in the account books and strictly manages the entry and exit of the warehouse.

In the past few days, Li Hao selected a few loyal servants and asked Iron Sheet to teach them to drive boats and make lifting equipment. Tie Pi installed more than 20 sets of wind power generation equipment, set up wires and led electricity back to Li Mansion.

In this way, there is a lot of electricity in the house to squander, and Li Hao can gradually implement some power-consuming plans.

Early in the morning of this day, Li Hao took Mo Shiyun, Xiao Zhongzhi, Jiang Wuyang, Jiang Liuyang, Ding Fu and Mei Lan Zhuju on the freighter.

Iron sheet drove the freighter and drove at full speed to the east to meet the rising sun. Everyone is free to move around on board.

Li Hao and Mo Shiyun walked side by side on the deck and came to the tip of the bow deck together. Li Hao wanted to take her little hand for a stroll, but he knew that she was very conservative, and such an intimate act of holding hands in front of everyone would make her embarrassed.

Mo Shiyun is studying physics in junior high school, and the chapter on the law of buoyancy has long been completed, so she is no longer surprised that the iron boat floats on the water, and she also understands the truth.

However, the textbook she used was an electronic version, and some of the content had been abridged by Li Hao, and all the information about the nationality and age of the physicist had been deleted. This girl is too smart to have some guesses when she sees this. Li Hao didn't want her to know her true origin for the time being, for fear that she would find it difficult to accept it for a while.

Mo Shiyun listened to the sound of the waves crashing on the bow of the ship, felt the speed of the cargo ship, and she exclaimed: "I used to think that mathematics, physics, and chemistry were very profound and interesting to learn, but only today I feel that these knowledge is not only interesting, but also very practical." If overseas craftsmen didn't understand this, they would definitely not be able to build such ironclad ships. ”

Li Hao sighed: "The power of science and technology is almost omnipotent. There are many places where you will sigh in the future. ”

"By the way, my brother talked to the gentlemen of Quanzhou Academy about the "Geometric Original", and the gentlemen want to borrow it to copy it, and even want to teach it to the scholars of the academy in the future, can I lend it to them?"

Li Hao nodded: "I brought that book to the Great Song Dynasty in the hope that it would spread." The value of this book is not as simple as it seems. ”

At this time, Xiaozhu came over with a digital camera, "Young master, Miss Mo, let me take a picture of you, okay?" ”

"Good!" Li Hao took a group photo with Mo Shiyun.

On the other side of the deck, Xiao Zhongzhi stared blankly at the huge crane arm on the ship, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. The intelligence work he presided over was gradually spreading, and he knew that on the day that the prince returned from sailing, he easily sank a pirate ship. He inquired in detail about the process, and even though he knew it was the truth, he found it hard to believe.

At this time, he personally boarded the freighter, looked at the huge boom, and imagined the scene of the day and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This ironclad ship doesn't need sails at all, and it can sail fast against the wind, which is definitely a sharp weapon for crisscrossing the sea. With this kind of ship, it is no wonder that Childe was able to cross the ocean and bring rare treasures from overseas.

If there are more such ships, they will definitely be the hegemon of the sea, because all the initiative is in my hands. When we want to fight, the enemy will not be able to escape by all means; When we tried to run, the enemy couldn't catch up anyway. With this alone, it is already invincible. Even against the Song Dynasty, he was fearless.

After a short time at sea, the ship turned around and returned to shore.

After everyone got off the boat, Li Hao said, "You go back first, I have something to talk about with Mr. Xiao." ”

Li Hao and Xiao Zhongzhi walked along the Qingqi River and sat down under the big banyan tree.

Li Hao looked at the surging water of the Qingqi River for a while before asking, "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of our strength?" ”

This is an abrupt question, and it seems that people do not know what to mean. Xiao Zhongzhi heard Li Hao ask this, but his heart was shocked. He already had some premonitions in his heart, because if Gongzi was just doing business, would he be able to establish such a huge intelligence network?

Xiao Zhongzhi replied cautiously: "With the ironclad ship in the hands of the son, you can attack and retreat at sea, which is a resource that spans the four seas." No matter what Childe wants to do, there is a retreat at sea, and it can be said that he is already invincible. ”

Li Hao then asked: "What if I say that on land, I also have a sharp weapon that can run rampant in the world?" ”

"Then no matter what Childe wants to do, there will be no disadvantage, and there is almost nothing that Childe can't do."

Li Hao smiled: "You said two sentences in a row, no matter what I want to do, this is actually what I want to talk to you about today." I think about a lot of things, in addition to the rich world, beautiful women like clouds and other ordinary people also think, I also want the Chinese civilization to continue to inherit, to promote the prestige of the Chinese country, let the four Yi bow down, and all countries come to court. Let the people of my Celestial Empire have the end of their old age, the strong have everything, the young have education, the poor have something to rely on, the difficult can be helped, and the widows and lonely people have something to support. Actually, what I want to do, you know. ”

Li Hao's words were already quite direct, although Xiao Zhongzhi had some guesses, he also heard a cold sweat, and the sentence that he wanted to promote the prestige of Huaxia didn't mean that he wanted to be the emperor? Otherwise, with the soft egg of Song Huizong and Zhao Ji, all countries can come to court?

Ordinary people's fear of imperial power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Xiao Zhongzhi couldn't help but have small beads of sweat on his forehead, but he thought about it again, as long as he let his family move to the overseas mainland before the incident, what was there to be afraid of? It's nothing if you lose, who doesn't die in life? I'm barely old. If it does, it will be from the dragon's work, the founding hero, and future generations will always enjoy glory and wealth. Thinking of this, his heart was boiling.

And the ironclad ship also gave Xiao Zhongzhi a strong confidence, Childe has unpredictable means, since Childe said that there are also sharp weapons that are rampant on land, Xiao Zhongzhi is also convinced of this. "Clairvoyance" and "Shunfeng Ear" are available, and he is not surprised at all that there are other magic weapons.
