Chapter 651: An eye-opener
Eight Feet can be regarded as a veteran of the Far East, although he is not the first group of aborigines, but came from Undercurrent Island with Lin Ye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But he was instrumental in the development of the Far East, if it weren't for him and his dwarven brethren in the early days of his exploration.
There is absolutely no way for the various undertakings in the Far East to develop so smoothly and properly, after all, even if Lin Ye has the general situation of development in his mind.
But after all, he is just a person who builds blueprints, and everything in various fields needs to be done by him, the helmsman, and he is really too busy.
In this case, someone needs to be able to execute the strategy he proposed, so that all those blueprints can be taken from paper to reality.
The dwarf Eight Feet is obviously the one who executes and realizes all this for Lin Ye, and Eight Feet is not only highly accomplished in the fields of construction and mining.
The most important thing is that the best qualities of the dwarves are vividly reflected in him, which is the intense curiosity and desire to learn.
"Eight-foot cousin, why are these boats made of iron, not wood? Isn't this a little too heavy, can they still float? And there are no sails or anything, this is a useless iron lump at all, why do you have to spend so much effort to make such a thing? I really don't understand. ”
In the shipbuilding area of Blackwater Harbor, a freshly built ship was launched, and several dwarves on the shore pointed at the ship with puzzled expressions.
After all, the difference between this ship and the sailboat in their impression is not a little big, which completely subverts their common sense about shipbuilding.
"Seven-inch cousin, you don't understand this, this is a steam ship built with new technology, it is a new technology, come up, not long after you came to the Far East, your cousin will open your eyes, dwarf brothers come up, don't worry, it won't sink, it won't be drowned, this is a new revolution." ”
Eight feet stepped on the sampan to the ship, greeting the dwarven brothers who had just arrived from the pit kingdom after receiving his letters, grinning.
"New technology? Is this really okay? I haven't learned how to swim yet, what if I sink down? Will I die? ”
"But Eight Feet is a trustworthy good brother, he won't pit us, and everyone see, isn't he a good guy who doesn't sink?"
"We came to the Far East to see a lot of shocking new things, and if we were to ship it, there would be no problem, so let's get on board together. ”
The dwarves were suspicious for a moment, and saw more and more people standing up, and they also got on the boat to experience the new steamship technology that Eight Feet said about it.
"Thank you dwarven brothers for your trust, Seven Feet, get ready to ship, hehe, if Lord Duke sees him, he will be surprised. ”
Eight feet waved his hand, and motioned for his own brother Seven Feet to sail the ship, and he had been squatting in the shipyard for three months in order to improve the steamship.
Eating, drinking, and Lazar never went out in the shipyard, and went into battle to do everything himself, as if he had reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
As for the construction site and the mine, they were all in charge of the five or four feet, and his brother knew that unless the problem was completely solved.
Otherwise, he would never have come out of the shipyard, apparently he had not spent these three months in vain, and soon a horn sounded.
"What is this sound? Is it the sound of a trumpet? Oops, is there an enemy intending to attack us? Where is the enemy, be ready!"
The newcomer dwarf Qicun was startled by the sound, and immediately touched the position of his axe, subconsciously thinking that someone had invaded.
"Hahahaha, my cousin, it's not the sound of a horn, it's the sound of a whistle, stand still, it's time to start moving, have a good experience. ”
Eight feet laughed heartily, although he had forgotten to sleep and eat for three whole months, he was still in good spirits, and he had endless energy all over his body.
The sun was shining on his dark skin, and his beard was more than half a foot long, and he hadn't taken care of it in a long time.
"Alas, this boat, without oars and sails, actually moved? And this speed is really incredible!"
"Isn't this ship supposed to be slower than other normal ships? ”
"I've never been on a boat this fast, cousin, tell us how you did it, is that what you call new technology?"
The dwarves saw the ships slowly leaving the docks, and their speed increased faster and faster, and soon the shipyard was left far behind by them.
"That's right, this is the power of steam, the principle is the cylinder pushing, I'll take you to the cabin to see it, and you can understand the principle, and this is not the fastest, the Duke said that if you burn coal to create an internal combustion engine, you can have more powerful power. ”
Eight feet wiped the sweat from his forehead, and led his new cousins to the cabin to check the steam engine, and he walked very enthusiastically.
In his mind, he had already begun to envision a more powerful internal combustion engine, the times were advancing rapidly, and his name would still be left behind.
"It's really an eye-opener to come to the Far East this time, whether it's architecture, or mines, or transportation, smelting, there is no other place to compare, I've decided cousin, I want to stay here and witness history with you, I really want to see the Duke sooner." ”
Seven Inch was still in it with the intention of investigating, and he was a little hesitant whether to stop in the Far East and build with his cousin Eight Feet.
But after witnessing a series of magnificent technologies, he clenched his fists and made up his mind that he could not be left behind and that he must keep pace with the times.
"I'm going to stay, I'm interested in the railroad, cousin, don't try to drive us away, I'm going to learn railroad technology. ”
"I'd better beat my iron, I've never seen such a good iron ore, such a complete range of smelting additives, such a large scale of iron furnace, this is simply our blacksmith's paradise, I must build a lot of sharp weapons and strong armor!"
"Do you want to build a city bigger than the royal capital of the empire? This kind of good thing can't leave me behind, I definitely want to participate, even if I don't participate in the construction, let me move bricks, I must be a witness and participant in this majestic city!
The dwarves were in high spirits, the steamship was on the shore, and the sailors on the shore cheered for the success of the test.
They put in too much effort, failed too many times, and endured a lot of skepticism.
It is said that they are wasting time, and it is enough to have a steamship at this stage, and they have to think about doubling the speed.
However, in the midst of doubts, they finally succeeded, and the old shipwrights finally came out of the shipyard, their mouths filled with joy.
"I can finally have a drink today. ”
