Chapter 60: A Thousand Miles of Jiangling Half a Day?

"The treasure ship I built is very big, very capable of running, and has iron walls."

"That dragon ship, isn't it?"

"That's a boat, and it's only copper, not a copper wall, the waves in the rivers and lakes are still improvised, galloping in the ocean for you to try?"

Wang Huai and Lao Zhu talked about the conditions, and Ah Biao nodded.

"It is too dangerous for ordinary ships to go to sea, with strong winds and waves, reefs and swells, and the ship will capsize."

Wang Huai looked at Lao Zhu and Ah Biao with a smile.

"So the treasure ship I built is made of copper and iron, and the hull is strong, so Your Majesty no longer has to worry about me capsizing."

Lao Zhu finally reacted to what Wang Huai wanted and took the case.

"It's worse than silver, you want steel to build ships? Do you know how to build a ship? ”

Wang Huai laughed.

"Does Your Majesty need to be able to steam steamed buns? But fighting for breath, laying down the country, will govern the country, naturally some people go to steam steamed buns, so that the people of the world can have steamed buns to eat and not starve. ”

"In the same way, I don't know how to build ships, but if I come up with an idea, there will naturally be people who know how to do it."

Wang Huai said, looking at Lao Zhu with a smile.

Seeing Wang Huai's confident confidence, Lao Zhu didn't believe his nonsense at all!

can see a doctor and tell fortunes, know Taoism and martial arts, and can train soldiers to fight, which is already very against the sky.

Even technical work is possible, is this Wang Huai a human being, and does he still let people live?

Moreover, a ship is already very difficult to make a piece of copper, and he still has to cast it in steel?

When did ships start to be cast in steel?

Is he a tease sent by the monkeys?

Lao Zhu's face was black.

"Shipbuilding is not a joke, and you still have to use iron to build it, can iron float?"

"Do you know how to build a ship?"

"Boy, we know that you have some ability, but this treasure ship is so ambitious, let's be steady, will we succeed?"

Lao Zhu said, and he was still bitter.

Wang Huai had long expected this drama, smiled slightly, took out a roll of paper from the sleeve of his robe, slowly unfolded it, and spread it in front of Lao Zhu and Ah Biao.

The picture depicts an anatomically opened hull and marked with the corresponding dimensions, revealing mystery in the complexity.

Looking at the drawings, Lao Zhu's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were full of shock.

"This, this size, don't you know how to measure, how can there be a ship of this size!"

Ah Biao stared closer, and said slowly:

"Is there a possibility that the little king Daochang marked the ruler into a zhang and the inch into a ruler?"

Wang Huai shook his head, pondering how to describe the boat that was wide and two football fields long.

Ah Biao explained.

"If it's not wrong, these are two Fengtian Temples spliced together and loaded onto a ship—a moving palace!"

Wang Huai gave a thumbs up to Ah Pu and explained calmly.

"That's right, this ship is forty-eight zhang long and twenty zhang wide, and the keel is of steel; At the same time, the craftsmanship can't keep up, so the hull is made of mahogany, and the body is covered with a layer of heavy steel armor, which can't be worn by ten thousand cannons. ”

After a long time, Liang Zhu reacted, this Wang Huai didn't seem to be joking.

This is the first generation of steel ships that have never been seen or heard of!

Really cast him successfully, ordinary wind and waves, ordinary reefs, pirate artillery, all just tickle this ship!

Crash into a wooden boat, that's a rock to smash eggs!

Moreover, there is also a place for the installation of artillery!

A proper hegemon of the seas.

If you want to give this Wang Huai a large number of artillery again, the vast sea, he can fight sideways, what a tyrannical and domineering!

The ironclad rush, the 10,000 cannons fire in unison, what else is there to bomb the unsinkable ship? Can't grab the beach?

Lao Zhu and Ah Biao clearly understand that when this ship is built, the pattern of naval battles will change because of Wang Huai!

It's just that one more thing, can a ship made of steel and mahogany really float and sail on the sea?

Both are materials that sink when they enter the water.

Will this ship sink in the river before it goes to sea?

A single ship costs a lot of steel, and when the ship sinks, it is even more painful than playing in the water!

Lao Zhu shook his head slightly.

"Wang Huai, we will give you the 10 million silver, but this iron ship cannot be built; With your materials, a wooden ship could sink, let alone an iron ship?"

Wang Huai looked around and picked up a copper furnace.

Lao Zhu looked vigilant.

"What do you want to do? Still want to beat people? ”

Wang Huai was too lazy to take care of it, and stepped out of the main hall.

Lao Zhu and Ah Biao were a little confused, so don't take anything when they turn their faces.

still followed Wang Huai out of the palace gate.

Small poolside.

Wang Huai stopped, threw the copper incense burner casually, fell to the water and shook a few times, and stopped steadily.

Lao Zhu looked surprised.

"Huh? Can a copper furnace float on water? ”

Ah Biao reached out and pressed the copper furnace.

"After all, it's round, it's hollow inside, and the ship is long and flat, and it's often full of cargo."

Bar spirit, straight otaku, I'm drunk too!

Wang Huai complained in his heart, and he could only hehe.

"Let you see what it means to surf, what is the long wind and waves, and there will be a time when the clouds sail into the sea!"

Wang Huai waved his hand and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Lao Zhu and Ah Biao glanced at each other, a little blind, this little Wang Huai, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Still follow him and step forward.

Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, they actually followed the little royal Taoist away? Jinyiwei, you look at me, I look at you, and I am equally confused.

The only thing that is certain is that the little king will not be disadvantageous to their boss.

Jiang Zhen followed, and did not beckon others to follow.

Moat.

Wang Huai's Xuanlong boat stopped quietly.

Ah Biao was careful and looked at the cat.

"The sails are still there, but what about the oars on the left and right sides of the ship? If there is no wind, how do you get here? ”

Wang Huai smiled.

"This is black technology, the oar has been changed to an impeller propeller, and the boatman only needs one."

"You do it yourself......

Lao Zhu stopped talking halfway through.

It's impossible to think about it, this kid can't do it himself, let alone the heavy work of rocking the boat......

I am afraid that the only thing left in the world is that he can do it himself......

"I installed a few coal-burning pots, the water turned on the lid of the pot, the lid pushed and turned a crankshaft, and the crankshaft drove the impeller propeller ......"

Steam engine, Wang Huai can only explain it like this.

Lao Zhu is strange, this pot is Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, is the boatman a boy who burns the fire?

Ah Biao stared at the back of the boat for a long time, shaking his head slightly.

"Is this impeller propeller too small, half as fast as a sail and a man swinging?"

Are you kidding.

Wang Huai laughed.

"Let's put it this way, smooth sailing, at most a thousand miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day; I said this thing, two trips back and forth to Jiangling twice a day, does the prince believe it? ”

Lao Zhu and Ah Biao shook their heads at the same time.

This Wang Huai is becoming more and more unreliable.

Eight hundred miles in a hurry, I don't know how many horses have died!

Fast horses don't eat grass, they don't get tired to death, and they can barely run so much without stopping for a day and a night.

There is no such thing as a tired horse!

He wants to run 2,000 miles a day, and the fast horse has wings?

Lao Zhu didn't believe it at all, and his face became a little impatient.

"Is this what you came here to see?"

Wang Huai shook his head.

"Of course not, surfing today, by the way, let His Majesty open his eyes."

As he spoke, Wang Huai clapped his hands, and the two special forces moved out a large box.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, Lao Zhu and Ah Biao were stunned......
