Chapter 185: Steam Engine
"Reilly. ”
Maier nodded and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be my co-captain." ”
Green came to Lookout Island, the thermal power station is still running, but the power has been reduced a lot by Green, only to supply the dozen or so strong light towers, and the power tower Green has built a new one, but the power is much lower than the previous one.
After all, the previous one was able to burn all the powerful fish-man spellcasters to charcoal, and the current one was just for experiments.
Occasionally, Johnson will throw a fish or two into the tower's range and let the tower cook the fish, and then Johnson will take a stick and pull back the half-baked, or charred, fish that has become charred.
As the only "living" fish-man in the fantasy manor, Johnson's life is much better than those fish-man laborers, and the food of the fish-man laborers is not "cooked".
But intelligent beings are never satisfied.
Johnson had seen Green's dinner and was envious of everything at the table.
But Green, it's impossible to prepare this for Johnson.
Originally, Johnson was a slave in the fantasy manor, and his status in the fantasy manor was only higher than those fish-man laborers and half-orc laborers, not to mention that Johnson had several dishonest actions in the middle.
At this point, Green's impression of Johnson is even worse.
If Johnson hadn't had some credit for discovering the oil, Green wouldn't have had a chance to keep Johnson alive.
The watchbird chirped and landed softly beside Green.
Green took some metal, and oil.
The indispensable thing for the fishing team is the boat, and the boat must have power, and the boats owned by the residents of the original Green Town are ordinary and rely on manpower to row, which is not efficient.
The power of man is too small to drive a ship that is too large, and a small boat is much more likely to be dangerous in the sea.
It is very likely that a wave will hit and the boat will capsize.
This is also the main reason why the residents of the original Green Town do not like to go to sea, but only spend a short distance at the beach.
In the absence of relatively safe protection, the sea is no different from hell for people, and the chances of surviving if they drown are minimal.
Not to mention that there are countless dangerous creatures in the ocean.
The oceans of this world are much more dangerous than the oceans of the world before Grimm crossed.
And even if it was the ocean before Grimm crossed it, it took countless efforts by humans to barely conquer the offshore sea, and the deep sea is still an area that humans can't tread.
A little more advanced than manpower is wind power and sailboats.
Green didn't think about this, he was too dependent on the environment, and if there was no wind, he couldn't move forward, and if he encountered the legendary windless belt, then he could only stay there for the rest of his life until the ship decayed.
What Green wanted to make was a steam engine.
Originally, Green preferred the internal combustion engine, but the technical content was relatively high, and Green did not bring the drawings when he crossed over, and his understanding of the internal combustion engine was only a few simple principles.
With a few words, it is unrealistic to want to manufacture an internal combustion engine, otherwise there will be no country that will not be able to manufacture its own internal combustion engine for decades.
Of course, patents are also one of the more important reasons.
The steam engine is relatively simple, burning, generating heat, heating water, turning it into steam, changing in volume, generating kinetic energy, and then being able to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy.
After a few experiments, Green built a decent steam engine.
There is no lathe, but Green has magic, craftsmanship or something, there is no need to worry about it at all, the quality is excellent, and as long as it is used correctly, it will not break for decades.
The production of the ship is even simpler, it is done by magic, there are basically no gaps, and after reinforcement magic, ordinary sea creatures have no way to destroy it.
However, for the sake of conservatism, Green still made some defensive measures.
The bottom of the ship is divided into three levels.
In the event of a leak at the lowest level, the passage between the penultimate and the bottom layer is closed, blocking the seawater, and relying on the buoyancy of the boat itself, it is enough to keep the boat floating on the surface.
Between the penultimate and third-to-last layers, there is also such a passage.
The survival boat, suspended on the outer wall of the boat, is mainly made of wood, a very solid wood, which lives on the surface of the sea and can be invaded by the sea for a long time without damage.
Other than that, there are weapons.
Attack is the best defense, in the event of encountering dangerous sea creatures.
Spearguns, which were seized from the Soma tribe.
The craftsmanship of the fishman is not very good, but the material of this speargun is very good, and ordinary sea creatures, with a speargun, can easily penetrate the body.
Even crocodiles have solid skin.
The ability to use weapons is the main reason why the fish-man can gain a foothold in the ocean, and there is another one, which is a little easier to use than the beast, and the average fish-man has a low IQ, but after all, he still has a little brain.
"Come up, Mel, and I'll introduce you. ”
Mel will be the captain of the fishing team, and will also be the captain of this ship, naturally, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of this ship, the ship is made by Green, and only Green alone understands, and the introducer, naturally, can only be Green.
"Yes, Lord Duke. ”
Mel looked a little excited.
"This boat can accommodate about thirty people, and I don't mean how many people can stand on it, but the number of crew members when this boat is used as a fishing boat. ”
"You, as the captain, are in charge. ”
"A crew member is at the helm and controls the direction. ”
"A crew member stood on a high ground, observing. ”
"A crew member was responsible for guarding the steam engine. ”
"For the rest, you can take part in fishing, whether it's spearguns or fishing nets, as long as you can achieve your goals, and you'll be able to do whatever you want. ”
"All the fish that are caught are put in the storage room, and I have carried out special treatment in the storage room to increase the storage time of the fish inside, but at most, it is a week. ”
"When the port is built, you can go out to sea to fish. ”
"I have here some things that you must master, all written in this booklet, you take it back, different positions, need to master different knowledge. ”
"Before you go to sea, I will test you, and if any of you are not qualified, the plan to go to sea will be delayed. ”
"At the same time, the members who are dragging their feet need to be punished. ”
Mel took the booklet from Green's hand with a bitter look on his face, he didn't like to read, and had an instinctive fear of reading, similar to the little maids' fear of Wikitomato.
Mel was afraid to see words he hadn't seen before.
Suddenly, Mel remembered that in Green's introduction just now, there was a word he had not heard before.
"By the way, Lord Duke, what is a steam engine?"
