"This ship is ninety-eight meters long, twenty-seven meters wide, and has a draft of six meters...... "The young master of the Mu family explained to Jiang Xingchen the parameters of the new ship, and in the middle of the shipyard, a large ship was moored, which was very similar to the ghost ship.

"The area of the deck is one-third larger than that of the ghost ship, and the place for eighteen batteries is reserved......" The tone of the young master Mu explained, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment to be able to research and build such a large ship. The children of the Mu family who followed behind them all had proud expressions on their faces, and they were indeed proud of the fact that the largest overseas ship came from their hands.

Jiang Xingchen nodded while listening, this ship is much stronger than a seven-story treasure ship in terms of load capacity and sturdiness. Of course, the cost is also quite high.

"How's the speed?" Jiang Xingchen asked when the young master of the Mu family stopped.

"This ......" The young master of the Mu family hesitated for a moment, the excitement on his face subsided a lot, and replied: "Since the seven-mast is still used, it is estimated that the speed is slower than that of the seven-story treasure ship!"

The size and weight of the boat increased, but the power did not change, and the speed naturally slowed down. This is the only problem that the young master of the Mu family can't solve, if the mast is increased, the area of the deck will become smaller, and the turret needs to be reduced.

"Good job!" Jiang Xingchen patted the young master of the Mu family on the shoulder and praised: "I didn't expect you to have results so quickly, this time I want to give you a big credit, and the reward will be issued in a few days!"

"Thank you, sir!" The young master of the Mu family and his disciples bowed down together, their hearts pounding with excitement, the reward received by Xingchen was not a small fight, it was often high-grade demon beast meat and genius earth treasures.

"No courtesy!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand. He was instructed: "Immediately carry out a water test to verify stability." Record specific data!"

After the young master of the Mu family responded, Jiang Xingchen did not stop. and Han Xiaowu left the shipyard.

"Sir, are you still dissatisfied with this ship?" On the way back, Han Xiaowu saw Jiang Xingchen's cold expression and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I'm very satisfied with this ship, the young master of the Mu family has also done a very good job, but the speed problem still needs to be solved!" Jiang Xingchen sighed.

The load and stability of the ship have increased, but the speed has decreased, even if the mast is increased and the turret is reduced, it is not necessarily faster than the seven-story treasure ship, which is a more difficult problem...... Of course. At this stage, the advantage of this ship is still very large. But once other forces also developed the cannon.

Another point is that the power of the boat still cannot get rid of the wind. That said, the impact of weather on the ship is still crucial. And the boat is bigger, and it is more laborious to rock than before.

He also thought about using completely new power systems, such as building steam engine wheels. But after thinking about it, he found that the steam engine wheel was simply not possible.

Propellers are not a problem, tens of thousands of senior craftsmen in the steel plant are studying, and every day there are breakthroughs and improvements in technology, and it can be easily manufactured. The structure is not a problem, the young master of the Mu family can solve it. The key conundrum is fuel. It must be burned with a steam engine, but combustible ice cannot be stored for a long time. Especially when it comes to the ocean route, the temperature is very high, and the combustible ice is even more difficult to preserve.

Unless, like the star collar, dig the ice cellar directly. But how to dig an ice cellar on the ship. There is no such technology in the manufacture of cold storage. Therefore, if the fuel problem is not solved, the ship's power system is now simply impossible to achieve, and can only rely on wind power.

Han Xiaowu wanted to say something. But I didn't understand anything, so I had to smile and say, "Sir." Let's go eat first, I asked the chef to prepare the dumplings!"

"Is it stuffed with leeks? It's best to eat leeks in spring!" Jiang Xingchen also laughed.

"Leeks are three fresh!" Han Xiaowu nodded.

"Prepare two heads of garlic......

After eating, he returned to the resting place, Jiang Xingchen sat on the chair and drank tea, thinking about the power system in his mind, it would definitely not work with the method of Yuanshi blasting, the energy of Yuanshi blasting was released suddenly, and it was not suitable for machinery that required constant energy at all...... It's okay to use charcoal, but storing large quantities of charcoal on a wooden ship is quite dangerous......

"Xingchen, what's upset?" Tang Chuxue sat down opposite Jiang Xingchen.

"Ah, I'm just thinking about something, I'm not upset!" Jiang Xingchen raised his head and flatly denied it.

"Your expression is all written!" Tang Chuxue stretched out Qianqian's finger, pointed at his face, and asked, "Are you encountering any problems again?"

Jiang Xingchen blinked, reached out and pinched Tang Chuxue's fingers and pressed them into his arms, and he also stood up and leaned forward.

It was too easy for Tang Chuxue to avoid Jiang Xingchen, but he didn't, he let him catch him, and leaned forward with his strength, with a touch of shyness on his face.

"What is written on my expression, take a closer look!" Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue instantly drew closer, and their faces were almost together.

"You...... Eat garlic!" Tang Chuxue blinked her bright eyes and whispered.

Jiang Xingchen was instantly knocked out, and sat back in the chair with an embarrassed face!

"Flutter!" Tang Chuxue let out a coquettish laugh and said, "Let's go, follow me to the beach, I haven't seen Doudou for a long time!"

Tang Chuxue only remembered when she mentioned Jiang Xingchen, there were still important things to do. I have to go and promote the King Kong ants first, and I have to introduce the demon fox to Han Xiaowu.

"It's too late, let's go to the beach early tomorrow morning, let's go see the beauty and her mother first!" Jiang Xingchen got up as he spoke, grabbed Tang Chuxue's hand and strode out.

Tang Chuxue didn't break away slightly, and she had to be helplessly pulled away by Jiang Xingchen, and the eyes of people along the way made her, the number one master with a stable state of mind, feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Jiang Xingchen walked quickly and left the central area soon. The surrounding area of green catches your eye, all of which are freshly grown seedlings of farmland, and in the distance are pastures.

When Jiang Xingchen arrived here, he slowed down, neither of them spoke, just holding hands and walking forward, as if walking, Tang Chuxue always had a smile on her face, she liked this feeling very much now......

The sky darkened, and the two of them walked to the mountainous area, Jiang Xingchen whistled, and he didn't see a rolling torrent appear on the hillside, and the sound of rushing water also came to his ears.

At the foot of the mountain, the torrent suddenly stopped, Tang Chuxue could already see clearly, and not far away were densely packed with black ants the size of his thumb.

"Whoosh!" A black light flickered, and the beauty's mother had already landed on Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, and hissed.

It looked like its daughter, a suit of black and shiny armor with a metallic sheen, transparent wings on its back, a claw sharper than a knife on its mouth, and wriggling mouthparts like serrations, which looked quite terrifying.

It's just that it's half the size of the beauty, and it's just over a foot long.

"It's been a long time!" Jiang Xingchen raised his hand and touched the armor-like shell of the beautiful mother, and said, "This time, I have sent you something good!"

Jiang Xingchen spoke, Tang Chuxue moved, took out a small wooden box from the bag he was wearing, and opened it in front of the beautiful mother. Suddenly, a soft dark blue light rushed out of the wooden box.

"Hiss!" the beautiful mother immediately screamed with excitement and wanted to rush over. But just as he was about to move, he stopped, twisted his head to look at Jiang Xingchen.

"This time I brought you fifty catties of sea god essence, you can enjoy it in a while. Jiang Xingchen nodded.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen nodding, the queen ant no longer hesitated, and rushed directly into the box, and then the rattling sound of chewing sounded, Jiang Xingchen listened to it and twitched, this Nima is too strong.

After about five minutes, the sound of chewing died down and the queen hissed.

The commotion on the opposite side began, and a black crushing ant rushed from the swarm, burying the wooden box in an instant, and the creaking and chewing sound made people's scalps tingle.

After a while, the group of ants retreated, and another group of ants came. The Poseidon marrow in the brocade box continues to decrease. At this time, the queen ant had already fallen asleep on Jiang Xingchen's shoulder.

The ants walked one after another, and when they came back, they lay on the ground and did not move. A total of fifty catties of Seagod Essence is really not enough for millions of King Kong ants to eat. The Poseidon Marrow has bottomed out, and the ants who have not eaten it are not in a hurry, but take the initiative to form a circle to protect the ants that have eaten the Poseidon Marrow.

This scene made Tang Chuxue very surprised: "Don't they fight?"

"King Kong ants are like this, they never rebel in the nest, I was surprised when I first saw it!" Jiang Xingchen explained.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and his vision was already blurred, the beauty on Jiang Xingchen's shoulder suddenly moved, and the sound of clicking and clicking sounded, Jiang Xingchen turned his head and watched its size grow at a rate visible to the naked eye......

After a full three minutes, the sound died down, and it had grown to a foot and a half.

"I still can't catch up with the beauty, but it should be improved a lot!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head slightly, but thinking about it, the beauty received much more benefits in the star than the queen ant.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, let's go back!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand.

"Hum~" The ant queen flew up, circled around Jiang Xingchen twice, and flew back to the ant colony with a whoosh.

In a moment, the ant colony moved, and the sound of rushing water farther and farther away.

"Okay, let's go back too, we have to hurry up!" Jiang Xingchen greeted Tang Chuxue.

"Got it!" Tang Chuxue responded with a smile, grabbed Jiang Xingchen's arm, and quickly sped back......

Han Xiaowu's room was brightly lit, and the bright electric light illuminated the room as bright as day. Han Xiaowu looked at the electric light with a novel look on his face, looking left and right around the electric light. I've heard about the City That Never Sleeps, and I've known that there are electric lights, but it wasn't until last night that the generator was delivered from the Star Collar, and it had just been installed.

"Hehe, no wonder it's called Sleepless City, this thing is too bright, it's really much better than candles or something!" (To be continued......)
