Work is put aside for the time being, and it is already late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since returning to Black Iron Town, he has been busy, and Renaud has not been in a hurry to advance to the Demon Spirit, but has slept beautifully, allowing his body to return to a better state.

But before dawn, he was woken up.

"I'm hungry. Yushi's face appeared next to his bed, and his eyes looked like a kitten asking for food from his master.

Renaud coughed twice, he had a habit of sleeping naked, and it was quite uncomfortable to be stared at so closely by a beautiful little Lori.

Of course, her straight eyes were not focused on him, but at what he was cooking.

Speaking of which, Renaud had already inlaid blue stone chips around his room, how did Yushi get in? her ability should not be used, and the lock on the door of his room was carefully made by Fei Li, and it was not so easy to open this door quietly.

Renault thought of this, so he asked directly, "Yuxi, how did you get in?"

Yushi raised her calm eyes and said softly, "Vivi opened the door and let me in." ”

...... "Okay."

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Renault got up and roasted a favorite goldtail white fish of Yushi, and made himself a hearty breakfast by the way.

He actually enjoys the process of cooking, no one hates food, and he cooks occasionally, which is very relaxing.

Looking at the fragrant grilled fish, Yushi silently took out a gold coin from her glass bottle and handed it to Renault.

"I'm in for a treat this time. Renault saw that she looked reluctant, so he said.

Who knew that Yushi shook his head, took the grilled fish and ate it silently at the table.

Renault warmed her a glass of milk and sat across from her, slowly starting her breakfast while flipping through the papers.

Since he had paper to write on and deal with affairs much faster, Renault also planned to start a newspaper, which could be used to brag about himself in addition to entertaining the townspeople, passing on information, and issuing policies.

When necessary, the newspaper can also be shipped outside of Black Iron Town.

Newspapers are the mouthpieces of news, and it would be foolish not to use this weapon.

Eating breakfast, drinking milk, and looking through documents, it suddenly seemed like going back in time.

The early morning sun shines through the glass panels on Yushi's fair face, making her look like an ice sculpture bathed in the sun, crystal clear, brilliant and colorful, but about to melt.

Yuki had always been transparent and pure white, and this was the first time she had been seen in such intense light.

......

After breakfast, Renault came to the machine shop, everywhere was filled with white gas, the sound of snorting exhaust was evenly sounded, and in the large workshop, there were several rows of machines that had not yet been assembled.

Steam turbines, blowers, reducers, Vivi is busy splicing various parts, while Fei Li and a group of workers are assembling the spliced parts.

"Lord Renault, you're here. ”

Ferre led Renault to the running turbine with a smug expression.

"We did it ourselves, and it's been running for ten days without breakdowns. ”

Although he didn't understand mechanics, Renault still learned a lot about steam turbines through Qiandu. In the most primitive structure like this, attention needs to be paid to bearing lubrication and body cooling.

However, the style of the boiler is still relatively new, like a downed iron bucket.

He has repeatedly told boilers to be inspected regularly and to standardize the use of water softeners.

After the last system upgrade, there was such a thing as a "water softener". At that time, he didn't know what it did, but later checked the thousand degrees, and found out that it was to prevent scaling.

He used to hear about boiler explosions, and he was thinking about how the boiler could blow up when it was full of water. Later, I learned that it was due to the fouling and blockage of the pipe, and the internal pressure was too high to cause the pipe to burst.

If this thing explodes on the ship, the hot steam will be flying around, and it is estimated that the whole ship will suffer.

Then he looked at the reducer again, this thing is a set of gears, as long as the oil is refueled, it is basically no problem.

Seeing that the main power part was ready, Renault began to prepare for shipbuilding.

On the huge site by the river, the steel frame used to undertake the lifting has already been erected, and all kinds of materials have been prepared, and dozens of workers are waiting for orders in piles.

"Weiwei, I'm going to work hard for you again today. ”

Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, Renault patted the little straw hat on her head with some reluctance.

Wei Wei smiled brightly at him: "Don't worry, Lord Renault, I will do it as quickly as possible." ”

"Lord Renault is really eccentric. ”

Miley next to her pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly, she didn't wear a straw hat, she had been mixed with the guards, why didn't she ask her if she worked hard.

"Lay the rails and steel pipes first. ”

With Renault's order, the workers began to move against the fiery sun.

Due to the limited depth of the river and the fact that it was built for the first time, it was impossible to build a ship with a large displacement. Therefore, the dock is also very simple, and the way to launch the water is also a relatively simple slide.

After the steel pipe is laid, it is time to start laying the bottom.

This is somewhat different from the shipbuilding steps he searched for from a thousand degrees.

This is because welding causes the material to deform and generates high heat. Therefore, modern shipbuilding generally erects keels, fan bones, and frames first, and finally encapsulation and painting.

But Renaud didn't plan to follow this step, first, with Vivi there, there would be no deformation and high heat problems, and second, he didn't have huge lifting equipment now.

Therefore, the steel plate at the bottom of the ship is coated with a layer of resin before it is laid. The resin collected from the Tuke Basin has a good anti-corrosion effect, and all the houses in Black Iron Town are in use, and no signs of falling off have been found so far.

Of course, a boat is not the same as a house, it is soaked in water all year round, and it is inevitable to scratch, so the outside has to be coated with thick rubber.

This white emulsion bought from the south becomes dark and thick after being boiled over low heat, and when the right amount of resin is added, it can be tightly adsorbed on the surface of the steel and protect the hull well.

In order to ensure speed, Renault designed the ship in the shape of a high-speed ship, with a full load displacement of about 30 tons, and about 20 tons of cargo.

The two-masted sailing ship on the Liubri River has a carrying capacity of only 10 tons.

So this ship, which is expected to be 30 meters long, is nothing more than a small boat in the eyes of Renault, but it is already a behemoth in the eyes of others. Once the bottom of the ship is laid, the keel is erected, and the 30-meter keel is made to arch upwards in the middle, followed by the fan bone and frame.

Until now, except for a few people in the know such as Blacksmith Ferrier, no one believes that this is shipbuilding. Steel is so heavy, doesn't it sink when you put it in the water?

But no one asked this stupid question, and most of the workers were mobilized from the machine shop, and they had seen a lot of incredible things. (To be continued.) )
