Chapter 434: Disadvantages?
I saw that he looked at the steam engine ship in front of him with blazing eyes, and then said to Gong Lose Shangzao and Win Changsheng.
"I've seen this boat now, but why haven't I seen it, what merit does it have?"
"I also saw that its speed is not too fast, and it can still be reached with the sail as the power, and this speed is not surprising!"
"Moreover, I also found that this ship is not too big, it is not as huge as the Zheng He treasure ship, this ship is neither big nor fast, I really don't understand, what are the advantages in this!"
After Ying Zheng's voice fell, it reached Ying Changsheng's ears.
The latter is slightly bowed.
Agree.
Truly.
Brother Zheng just said this.
Not without reason.
On the contrary, it makes quite sense.
As Brother Zheng himself said, he didn't see it at all, and he didn't see the merits of the ship in front of him.
In fact, what Brother Zheng said is true.
The steam engine ship in front of him is indeed not fast, and its displacement is not large.
In such a situation.
It is normal for Brother Zheng to raise such doubts.
And Ying Changsheng has his own opinions, only to see his smiling brother Chaozheng, explaining.
"Father, you have forgotten that this is the first steam engine-powered ship ever made!"
"And how powerful is the steam engine?"
"The prospects inside are also quite broad, the current steam engine, maybe the power will seem small, but what about the future? And in the future? Wouldn't it be possible to sail at a faster speed one day when its power increases, and wouldn't it be possible to plant a larger ship to move forward? ”
For a while, with the voice of Ying Changsheng falling.
His words were clearly heard by Brother Zheng.
And Brother Zheng, after listening to these words.
is also involuntarily, frequently bowing his head and expressing his agreement.
Indeed, as Tongying Changsheng just said.
Steam engine-powered ships have a great future, while sail-powered ships have long been developed to the limit.
Being able to build Zheng He's treasure ship is already a miracle among miracles.
In such a situation.
Naturally, it would be a better choice to adopt a steam-powered ship that is fashionable in the future.
Just after Brother Zheng's head, Ying Changsheng's next words made Brother Zheng agree with the excellent performance of this steam-powered ship.
Just listen, Brother Win Changsheng said to Brother Zheng.
"Father, in addition to these, the sons also feel that there are better advantages in this!"
"What advantages? Tell me about it? ”
Ying Zheng became interested, and he hurriedly asked.
And Win Changsheng is not ambiguous, he explained directly.
"The advantage is nothing else, that is, this steam-powered ship can carry a stronger ship on the voyage!"
"A few days ago, a coastal typhoon passed through, which made my Zheng He's treasure ship in Daqin suffer heavy losses, and the wooden ship is too dangerous in the wind and waves, Father, do you think the old man?"
"This is indeed true!"
Thinking of this, Brother Zheng couldn't help but sigh and said.
Those wooden Zheng He treasure ships were successfully built after consuming a lot of financial and material resources and a lot of manpower of the Great Qin Empire, but they were such good ships, ships that cost so many things, and were finally destroyed under the typhoon.
It is conceivable that Brother Zheng is naturally a little regretful.
And Brother Zheng, when he was sorry here, Win Changsheng was, Brother Chao Zheng said.
"So, I, Daqin, want to adopt a more robust hull structure to meet the needs of the moment, and this hull structure, in Erchen's opinion, there is only one structure, which is the most suitable, and this structure is made of iron!"
"Steel is stronger than wood, Father, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I think!"
Ying Changsheng's voice fell.
Brother Zheng bowed his head again and again, expressing his agreement.
After finishing speaking, Brother Zheng said to Ying Changsheng.
"Are there any advantages other than these?"
"Yes, of course there are, there are more advantages!"
Ying Changsheng said without thinking.
The public on the side was also the head of the jaw, and he took the first step to say.
"Your Majesty, the greatest advantage of this steam engine, and listen to the minister!"
"Your Majesty, when sailing on the sea, there are quite a lot of problems encountered, and in the minister's opinion, the biggest problem encountered, the most serious problem, is that when sailing, there is no windless weather!"
"Windless weather?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised.
The public loses the head of the unthinking jaw.
"Your Majesty, this sea and land are exactly the same, and windless weather is also very common!"
"When encountering this kind of weather, it is quite dangerous, the reason is very simple, that is, this kind of weather, there is no wind, if there is no wind, the ship will have no power to move, if the windless time is too long, then, the consequences are extremely serious, the fresh water on the ship, and the food is consumed, for all, there is only a dead end, Your Majesty, what the minister said is right?"
"That's right, it seems that this voyage is indeed extremely dangerous!"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Sad for the sailors who sailed in the process.
The reason is simple.
The predicaments faced by these people are too many, and the dangers they face are too many.
Soon, though.
Brother Zheng just finished sighing, but he found another abnormal problem.
I only saw Brother Zheng, and I couldn't help frowning, and said to Win Changsheng and the public on the side.
"You two just told me about the advantages of this ship, but what do I think of this ship, there are still some shortcomings......
"Downside?"
For a while, as the voice of winning politics fell, everyone present was stunned.
I saw Brother Zheng, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ship in front of him, and then opened his mouth to say.
"If you use sails, you will encounter windless periods, which is of course very dangerous, but, I ask you both, if this steam-powered ship is used, will he stop in the middle of the road?"
"I've just seen that this ship needs to burn coal to be able to sail, but if you burn coal, what if the coal burns out along the way? If you sail, you can wait until the wind comes, but if you use coal, you have to be blind......"
For a time, when the voice of winning politics fell.
Gong Lose's face suddenly changed.
Well, Brother Zheng is really amazing.
As soon as I said it, I said a big problem.
We must pay attention to this issue.
Otherwise, it is very likely that it will lead to serious consequences, and just as the public loser was thinking about how to answer, Win Changsheng on the side laughed out loud.
