Chapter 22: Steam
It was as if they had won a big battle, waiting for Liu Yi and the others to take the tram in the city and return to the main city. There was a scene of jubilation everywhere.
However, Leo Yi had already felt it. The city's evil spirit has increased almost tenfold.
In Liu Yi's opinion, this strange fleet was originally here to send him to death...... It's just to sow evil spirits......
But in any case, Liu Yi is just a passer-by.
That night, he took the time to go back to the Yi Zi last time.
The things of the day did not affect the number of Yi Zi. As a small wooden sailing ship, in today's war, they did not sort.
As soon as Liu Yi returned to the boat, Wang Ran had already reported to Liu Yi with a solemn face: "We have found something important and are about to report to you......"
Lewy nodded and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!"
Wang Ran put Liu Yi in a cabin, and saw a person tied like a rice dumpling on a wooden platform.
It's not so much a person as a youkai. The hair and eyebrows are visibly falling out and sparse. However, in many places on the body, keratinized scales have grown. Even the arms have almost become forelimbs.
This guy has something stuffed in his mouth, and his whole body is tied up like this. However, when he heard the movement, he immediately struggled hard.
The wooden table nailed to the planks of the boat made a creaking and squeaking sound. It seems that this thing is infinitely powerful!
"This is floating down the water, and we are caught. Gao Feng stayed here, just explaining. Liu Yi already knew it.
Want. Above that ghost fleet, it's such a monster.
"This seems to be a mutation of people!" Liu Yi said secretly in his heart.
"I've already looked into it. This thing was originally a human ......," Wang Ran said, and suddenly uncovered the sheet covering the monster. Said.
A smell of blood came to my face, but I saw that the monster's entire belly had been cut open, revealing the colorful organs inside.
Generally speaking, it is similar to the internal organs of ordinary people. However, the heart suddenly became at least two or three times larger. It became stronger and more powerful, even when exposed to the air, it still thumped.
It can also be seen that the vitality of this monster is so strong.
"This is the enemy on the other side!" Wang Ran said with a calm face.
What the hell is the enemy on the other side? Few people know. The ordinary people of Dachu are afraid that they regard the entire other shore as the enemy of the other side.
But Liu Yi and Wang Ran all know that it is not, the enemy on the other side, even on the other side, is a kind of thing that makes people talk about it.
How, no one knows. However, after all, Wang Ran was born in the Demon Elimination Division, and he knew a little about all kinds of demons and monsters.
In the government. I think I've heard a lot of rumors about the enemy on the other side, so Wang Ran thinks that this thing is. Lewis also has seven or eight points of belief.
"This thing, after all, is made by human mutations. And this variation of Cheng dù is unusual. I'm afraid that some forbidden transformation techniques have been involved......"
Liu Yi had these things in mind. But it was not declared. Just nodded again.
However, at this time, the monster struggled again. The huge heart was beating constantly. A sufficient supply of fresh blood is pumped throughout the body. Let this monster be filled with inhuman power.
"Click......" The legs of the table are all broken. The crisp sound is extraordinarily loud.
A room full of people is discolored. Liu Yi casually pressed his hand on his heart. The heart of the thing was broken, and the monster was honestly quiet.
"Dissect it and see what else you find?"
Da Chu's medical skills and anatomical techniques are very developed. There is a imperial court physician department, and a local imperial physician office. There are many doctors in such official institutions and among the people.
Even since the Fan Yi era, there have been many military doctors who dissect corpses and study medicine.
According to legend, this was an order from Taizong Fan Yi. However, Taizong Fan Yi gave birth to the legendary Emperor of Heaven and was regarded as a saint by the government and the opposition.
Such a statement hurts the virtue of Taizong. Therefore, it is not streamed.
Of course, no one knows better than Liu Yi, and this statement must be good.
Since this ship went to sea, the wind, waves, plagues, and so on along the way. There are medical workers with nature, so there is no problem with dissecting.
Liu Yi immediately said that he was going to buy a boat here, and both Wang Ran and Gao Feng were immediately overjoyed.
Let's not talk about whether it will be beneficial to Da Chu's technology to drive the steamship back here. Just with a ship, according to Da Chu's already very perfect method of going to sea.
If they do this, their share of the entire fleet will increase dramatically.
If you can raise your own money, even the steamship can be owned by yourself. But the profit is even greater.
But think about it, this steamship will cost twenty or thirty thousand gold coins to buy, such a huge amount of money, how can they not come up with it.
Although Yi Zihao set off to Myron Harbor to investigate. took more than 100 catties of gold as funds. But all this gold was minted into gold coins, and it was only two or three thousand gold coins. But only one in ten......
"I'll go to sea early tomorrow morning and go back to report it. You must buy this ship!" Wang Ran gritted his teeth.
Liu Yi nodded, he also had this intention. However, the giant python island is more than a thousand miles away, and it takes at least more than 20 days to go back and forth. It's a little too long.
Now this Li Ying Shidao is not quiet, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble in it.
As Liu Yi expected, it was not unfounded.
On the second day, Yi Zihao was ready to go to sea, but found that the ports had been sealed. No one is allowed to enter or leave the ship.
But it is the so-called devil or the enemy on the other side. In short, their coming. The United Council of Merchants, who ruled the port, suddenly became nervous.
I suspect that in this port, there is still the existence of the enemy on the other side.
To be inspected of each boat, it is absolutely not allowed to leave any of the ships in question.
This Yi brand can't leave when it's hot. I can only be very depressed.
A depressed ship like the Yi Zi is not one or two. I don't know how much. They all want to escape from this troubled and dangerous place.
However, their depression soon turned to horror.
With the naval battle did not pass a few days. The plague spread among the ships in the harbor.
Every day, the mouth vomited black blood, and the other crew members who were terrified were thrown into the sea according to the rules of the sea.
The ship is an enclosed space, and the most feared thing is infectious diseases. It will make a whole ship of people die of disease.
Therefore, when sailing at sea, this is the case. Seafarers suspected of having the plague. will be thrown into the sea mercilessly.
At this time, the seeds planted by Liu Yi began to germinate.
Last time Liu Yi was in the shipbuilding area, he saved a person's life. The man slowly recovered, and the news spread.
Their boss, early in the morning. I personally drove the car and came to ask Liu Yi to help me diagnose and treat.
The car at this time is really a real car. When I walked, it was like a train. But it also burns steam.
In another world. Since the energy utilization rate of the steam engine is less than 10%, the rest is wasted. It was quickly replaced by the internal combustion engine.
However, in this side of the world. Whether it's Da Chu or Li Ying. The time of contact with this steam engine has been more than two or three hundred years. But the internal combustion engine never appeared.
Liu Yi was quite puzzled at first. Why is this happening?
But at this time, I asked the rather knowledgeable Mr. Hemut for advice.
He wasn't very familiar with technology, and it was difficult to organize the language to explain it.
However. When Mr. Hemut heard this, he immediately understood. Obviously, I have been in touch with these questions for a long time.
"For hundreds of years. Many people are trying to invent a new power machine. But it didn't work out. After all, the steam engine uses water vapor, and the water vapor does external work. The heat is discharged directly to the outside world. The largest heat loss is carried out by the gas, so the thermal efficiency of the steam engine is small.
But the new power machinery has encountered one of the biggest problems. But the steam engine can burn carbon, and the new sealed internal combustion engine can't find the material to burn......"
Liu Yi listened to Daqi and asked the bottom line. The shipyard owner, Mr. Hemut, also happens to be a power expert. quickly explained it to Liu Yi clearly.
It turns out that whether it's Leying or not. Whether it is Da Chu or Da Chu, there is no energy evolved from ancient organisms such as coal and oil......
The reason why Da Chu has not been able to invent the steam engine is that he has to wait until the dragon soul comes to the other side to learn the technology and bring it back to Da Chu.
In fact, Da Chu had invented something similar a long time ago, but it didn't have much effect.
The biggest problem is that there is no coal. The problem of insufficient power.
But on the other side, this problem is perfectly solved. They have cultivated a very special kind of tree that can be processed into an energy source that burns much faster than coal. This is also known as glue carbon!
And back then, the most important thing for that dragon soul was to bring this set of techniques back to Da Chu.
After solving the fuel problem, Da Chu's steam engine technology advanced by leaps and bounds.
However, Da Chu's steam engine was not able to be fully popularized. There is still a shortage of fuel.
After all, time is too short. This kind of gum carbon tree is cultivated in Dachu and is still a little less.
And this kind of glue carbon can be used instead of coal in steam engines. However, it is difficult to use in internal combustion engines.
EngEnglish has developed a technology for the liquefaction of glue carbon, which converts it into a liquid fuel suitable for use in internal combustion engines through decarbonization and hydrogenation.
However, the cost is sky-high. It is difficult to popularize it on a large scale.
That is, some cutting-edge military technology, regardless of the cost. You can use these liquid fuels, but in other places, it's hard to use.
That fuel is said to be more valuable than the same volume of gold. It's even more powerful than burning gold......
At this moment, the mystery in Liu Yi's heart was finally solved.
The car drove all the way to Highmut's house, as his wife, Catherine, seemed to be infected with the plague. That's why this Mr. Hemut came to the door to invite.
When Leo arrived, two doctors were treating Catherine.
It is also to give the patient cold apple water to cool down, and to give the patient to drink wine and wipe the sweat regularly. They even discussed how to blet the patient......
Liu Yi had to sigh that the medical technology of Liying's place was simply not comparable to Da Chu. Almost all of them are still in the witch doctor stage.
It's like another world, the famous Washington got a cold, and as a result, he was tossed to death by doctors with enemas and bloodletting......
It's also because there is little confidence in these two doctors. That's why Haimut went to the door in person and invited Liu Yi.
Liu Yi directly scoffed at the treatment of these two people. So he ordered that the pretty lady Catherine be fed a pill, and in a few minutes the lady fell into a deep sleep, and at least she did not vomit any more black blood.
Seeing such a scene, Hemut was overjoyed, as if his guards were rescued in this way.
Thank you to Liu Yi for your kindness at the moment!
There were two doctors left, all dumbfounded. They all ran over and asked Levi for advice. What kind of plague is this, why they can't tell the difference, and they can't do anything about it.
This is the evil spirit of imbalance between heaven and earth, and the plague caused by zhì. How, of course, it is difficult to say.
In fact, of course, Liu Yi did not use pills to cure people. He simply used his own divine power to expel such evil energy.
It's just that others asked. Liu Yi pulled up some yin and yang five elements and other things, and made the eyes of the two doctors look like gold stars.
Although I don't understand, I feel that Liu Yi is too powerful. The worship of Liu Yi became more and more awe-inspiring.
It also made Liu Yi laugh!
Haymut thanked Lewi for his kindness and gave him a full reward of a hundred gold coins.
This is already a lot of money, but for the purchase of the ship, it is only a drop in the penny.
However, after this incident. Soon, Liu Yi's reputation spread in the circle of rich people.
There were many wealthy people who came to ask Liu Yi to see a doctor, although some of them were really infected with the epidemic.
There are also many who simply have headaches and brain fever, and they just scare themselves.
However, anyway. Liu Yi went out to see a person, that was the price of a hundred gold coins, Tong Su was not bullied, and there was no two prices.
didn't expect that this would make Liu Yi's reputation spread farther and farther.
Just negative situations, which quickly appeared. There were many patients who gathered at the door of the hotel where Liu Yi lived, begging Liu Yi to treat his illness.
And there were more and more people, at first dozens of people, and then hundreds or thousands of people gathered.
Most of these people can't afford to see a doctor. It's just a little hope that Leo Yi will be compassionate about it, so he refuses to be here.
It's just that, how is this kind of thing possible? Liu Yi saved people, but he used his own divine power.
He had only uncovered the first layer of the talisman restrictions, and the divine power he could use was quite limited. Being able to treat three or five people a day is already remarkable. (To be continued......)
