Speaking of the boat trip, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly thought of something and asked Li Xun: "What are the boats like now? Are there any boats with wheels?"
"Wheels? What are the wheels on the boat for?" Li Xun didn't understand what it meant.
"Even if there are wheels, the boat can move forward or backward and turn." Zhang Xiaobao added.
"No, there are sails and oars. Who knows how to use wheels, but not on land. Do you want to press a few wheels on the boat and wait for it on land and use horses to walk like a car? That boat is fine. Is it a big boat? It is too heavy. If it is dragged to the ground, the shaft will be crushed, and it will have to be made with multiple wheels and fewer wheels?"
Li Xun thought that Zhang Xiaobao was idle and bored. He came up with such a thing and made gestures with melon peels. What would happen if he wanted to press the wheels of the boat.
Zhang Xiaobao also picked up a piece of melon peel, pointed to the place nearby and said, "Did you see the bike between me and the cuckoo? If there are big wheels on both sides of the boat, look like a waterwheel, Someone in there is stepping on the shaft like a bicycle, then wouldn't it be possible to let the boat go."
Li Xun looked at it, pondered it again, nodded and said, "It's true, but it's useless. With oars and sails, can it be slower than wheels? After putting the wheels, it won't work. The oars, right? It's fun to make."
"Fun? A ship with wheels can continue to use sails on it. How can this be fun? What do you think is the most important thing when fighting a water battle? The number of people on both sides is the same, the weapons are the same, the commander is the same, and the ability to fight is the same. When it’s the same, when it’s all the same, how does one decide the outcome?"
Zhang Xiaobao finally remembered an epoch-making thing, how to give up and continue to persuade Li Xun.
Li Xun was asked now, if everything is the same, what determines the outcome
"Is it luck? When the two sides were fighting on the water, dark clouds in the sky, a big thunder fell, and it was hitting the ship where the general was placed, smashing the ship on fire, and the general burning to death, or If you jump into the water and you can’t command, then you lose. Could it be that your luck will get better if you use a boat with wheels?"
Li Xun thought for a while, but didn't think about it, so it boiled down to luck.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan laughed almost at the same time. Li Xun was so humorous that a big thunder came down.
"Just say, God, which side is not pleasing to the eye, how good is it to stretch out a hand from the sky and pinch everyone to death? On the water battle, no formation? Is it easy for the boat to turn on the water? The boat is simple, and the big boat will not be so easy. Right? With a wheeled boat, not only can you quickly turn, but even at critical moments, you can directly change from forward to backward.
Think about it, when a ship rushed along with the fleet, it suddenly rushed quickly, or the other party used a plan to lead him to the front, and when several ships were about to besiege it, this ship should have been In the past, the ship that needed to make a circle to turn, at this moment, suddenly stopped and started to retreat. What would be the consequence? "
Zhang Xiaobao told Li Xun what would happen on the battlefield.
"Ah? Well, the opponent is not in vain, and it will mess up that part of the formation. Re-adjustment, this time is terrible."
Li Xun finally understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant this time, and said in shock.
"Not only this, but also turning. As long as the wheels on one side don’t turn and the other side turns, the boat should be able to steer in place. It’s very flexible. You can figure it out first. Make a small frame into a small boat. When the boat is on the water, build a big one. Build one for my family first. It’s best to hurry up and use it when my dad is going outside to take office."
Zhang Xiaobao turned the watermelon rind with his hands to make Li Xun see clearly.
Li Xun kept nodding his head. It was no longer the expression that Zhang Xiaobao was doing just now. He was frightened now. When he learned about the maneuverability of this ship, he knew that he could play against the water after he made it. What a role.
It’s not necessary to say that all ships are like this. The original warship is matched with this wheeled ship. It can be interspersed back and forth in water battles, making it impossible to guard against. Such an important matter is no longer in my control. I must first tell my father. , And then the father will do it.
Thinking of this, Li Xun said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, even if the boat is built, it may not be able to be given to your house. If your boat is stolen by someone else, learn how to make it, then I will return it. Do you have an advantage on the water?"
"Others steal it? As long as this kind of boat is built, the caring people will know it. You can make all the people on this boat tight-lipped? If you don't give it to my house, I won't tell you the following changes. There are still good things behind."
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t think there was anything about this ship that could be kept secret. As long as it was built, someone tried it, and equipped it in the army, ordinary people might not care about this, but a country with a heart would definitely know it. If you really want to learn to try it. Do it, let people think about it a little more and then make it.
The key to this ship is not the technology, but the thinking. As for someone robbing his own boat, his home will not go into the sea. Who can grab it in Datang's place? How to leave after grabbing, the boat must be on the water, he has to decide on this boat.
Li Xun is not easy to agree or not to agree, especially what Zhang Xiaobao said. After the changes, he has now attributed the ship's affairs to the expert. He felt that it must be the expert and told Zhang Xiaobao. Let Zhang Xiaobao tell him.
A few days ago, Shangshu from the Ministry of Engineering came over and took away the natural book. It seems that the expert has a lot of abilities in this respect.
"Xiaobao, I can't promise you directly about this. I'll go back soon and give me a copy of your training. To be honest, this ship may not be built in our dock. Whether it is the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Engineering, it will be here. Make an idea from above."
"They built theirs. We built ours. Maybe they didn’t build them. Ours came out first. It’s best to find some boats first and try to change them. My family is waiting for them in a hurry. Remember to put them in the stern of the boat. Add a wheel to make it faster. Can you find more good steel? It will be useful if you can find it and bring it to my house."
When Zhang Xiaobao thinks about the wheels behind, he thinks of the fans in his restaurant. The fan requirements are low and the parts are not afraid of damage. There is a force conversion process between the gears and the shafts. If the conversion is good, turn while turning. One lap, the other side can make many laps.
If it is used in the back of the ship, if the wheel is replaced with a propeller, and the force is transmitted and changed by human power, what will the speed be like? In any case, it is better than the straight wheel.
If you want to make a propeller, you must have good steel. It does not require too much to push a big ship forward. As long as you can assist, you can use the casting method to get the ball of the bearing. As long as it can withstand a battle, it will do. It's a big deal, then change it.
Li Xun didn’t know what Zhang Xiaobao wanted good steel for, but he understood that everything Zhang’s family wanted must be useful. There might be something scary to make. He thought about it and said:
"I don’t have it on hand. I will ask someone to find out when I go back. Now coal is used and the iron made is not bad. It’s really not good. Let me make more iron to see if I can get the kind you want. ."
"Then this has to be done as soon as possible. The cuckoo and I are going to get you the training stuff. You can eat it first, and come over to you later."
Zhang Xiaobao’s goal was achieved, and Wang Juan walked towards the Yamen. When he left, he had not forgotten to shout to those who were training to disband. The fifty-six people were as amnesty, and they rushed to them. At the well place, began to lift the watermelon out.
Without using a knife, he smashed his fist open, pressed his face on it, and ate his mouthful. When he left the watermelon, he wiped his face with his hand and shouted to vent the anger in his heart.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went back to the yamen and began to sort them out, and left the painting to Wang Juan. Zhang Xiaobao helped to think of a few timely slogans. They worked for two quarters of an hour before they got the things out.
"Xiaobao, when we leave here, who on earth will you bring? Will Song Jinggong bring? There are still people watching, who will be left? And the people from the original Hanjiazhuang and Yuanjiazhuang who were added later, you too It needs to be arranged so that the people in Zhangjiazhuang should not only have the means to make money."
When the two of them walked back, Wang Juan thought of the two newly added Zhuangzi. He couldn't favor one another and let Zhang Xiaobao find a way.
Zhang Xiaobao is also worrying about this. It is impossible for the two Zhuangzi people to sell roast chicken at the same time. Then what method can be used to make long-term money and let the Zhuangzi people use it
"Don't worry, when I think about it, I can't figure it out for a while. It's still a while before my father leaves." Zhang Xiaobao thought hard for a while, and finally gave up.
When the two returned to the tree, Li Xun fiddled with a few watermelon peels there, adjusting the direction back and forth, either forwards or backwards. It seemed that he was preparing to simulate a battlefield in a water battle, but he was not in this regard. learn.
"Take it, remember to let someone send the ship that was made to my house first." Zhang Xiaobao handed the paper in his hand and said to Li Xun.
"As long as my father agrees, and if it is done, I will deliver it to your house. I will go back first. I will go to Huayuan County to buy a house in two days and I will look for you to play when I am fine."
Li Xun took the paper and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He got into his car and let people speed up and head towards the dock. He had already decided that he could not leave Zhangjiazhuang too far. , Now there is something new, maybe more things will appear, he must stay here.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, "He was looking at him again."
