Zhang Xian left Cloud Island with the Black Shark fleet and killed Lingyun Island (Turtle Island).

After receiving Wanfeng's urgent letter, Zhang Xian knew that Erqin had encountered a crisis, and it seemed that he had underestimated the power of Wanjia.

The new cyborgic ship does save half the manpower, and it makes the sailors work a lot easier, and the sailors are no longer so hard.

It would be a surprise if the king of the ship could really make a steam engine according to the drawings given by Zhang Xian, but Zhang Xian estimated that this new thing, even if the king of the ship was very attentive, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to manufacture in a short time.

Although the steam engine was already an obsolete machine in the super-civilized era of Zhang Xian's previous life, it was difficult to manufacture it in the backward wasteland, very difficult!

However, Zhang Xian was willing to try, and the ship king was even more interested, and it was estimated that for a long time, he would lose interest in anything and concentrate on the study of steam engines.

Zhang Xian reminded him: first develop a small model machine, wait for it to really work, and then expand it proportionally.

The Ship King thought so.

Liu Chengqian, Ying Xiao and others were very satisfied with this new ship, as excited as getting a new toy, in the power cabin, there are six large wheels, each wheel has a rocker and a pressure bar.

These six wheels are actually six oversized steel springs.

The sailor first tightens the mainspring with a crank handle, and when it does not move, he continues to press it with the pressure lever until the mainspring is completely tightened.

The mainspring is attached to the propeller bearing mechanism at the stern, which is a lot of gears.

If you don't need to be fast, or if you don't need a light hull, you can use a single wheel drive with six wheels in rotation.

If the hull or the speed of the boat is required, several or even six can be started together as appropriate.

He is worthy of being called the king of ships and a madman.

If the steam engine had been built by him, with a few modifications, a rudimentary steam-powered seafaring ship would have appeared.

Originally, the iron-hulled ship needed to be driven by hundreds of sailors, and the speed of the ship was not fast, but now it only takes more than a hundred people to take turns to watch the roulette wheel and tighten the loose clockwork.

Although the iron-hulled ship was very defensive, it was too heavy and laborious to drive, and it was still driven by pedal hand propellers.

Now it is a tail propeller, and the power is cyborg.

Removing the iron shell and using ironwood, the defense ability has not weakened much, but the weight is much lighter.

"Swap our ship for this one, to be honest, we made a lot of money, alas, at the beginning I was lucky to hang in the fight with the king of the ship, it seems that we are villains in the belly of a gentleman. ”

Liu Chengqian sighed with emotion.

"Thankfully, I didn't have the impulse. ”

Ying Xiao felt a little afraid.

The two of them walked out of the power compartment as they spoke, to check on the heavy weapons.

On the way, I met two old men and a young man.

The two of them hurriedly gave way to the three of them, and behaved extremely respectfully.

It turned out that these three were the mechanics lent to them by the ship, and they came to train their people and maintain the power system.

The king of the ship really did it from the beginning to the end.

The two of them made a round trip to the main warehouse, which was the command room, the heart of the battleship.

You can see the rudder warehouse forward, you can see the forward route, and you can see the wide field of vision.

Backwards can be directly down into the power compartment.

On the huge table is a large sand table.

On the side of the wooden wallboard mountain there is a large oil-paper map.

On the other side is the rest area.

At the foot is the material storage warehouse.

Behind it are the rest compartments of the soldiers, etc、、、

It was a sailless ship.

Just when there was still a day or so to sail before Lingyun Island, a sailboat no bigger than the Izumo (renamed the Black Shark) appeared on the left, and gradually approached.

Zhang Xian, who was standing at the bow of the boat, quietly looked at the boat that was getting closer, looking aggressive and without good intentions, and frowned slightly.

At this time, Liu Chengqian and Ying Xiao, who got the report, also rushed over.

Zhang Xian had always not interfered with Liu Chengqian's command, he glanced back at them and didn't say anything.

Liu Chengqian ordered the standard-bearer to ask the other party to explain his intentions.

The other party did not respond, but quickly rushed over with the wind.

"General Eagle, it seems that the first battle of our Izumo is coming. ”

"Then shoot their sails first. ”

Ying Xiao said coldly.
