Chapter 307
"Your Majesty, the people on the boat say the boat can sail."
Tong Luoyang nodded, "Yes." He really wanted to see what kind of surprise this little wild cat would give her.
Long Xinyu is standing on the high deck looking at the people below. What she is demonstrating now is modern ship-operating technology. If such technology spreads, she is afraid that it will speed up the process of history and bring trouble to many people.
It was an unforeseen disaster, but now, she couldn't think about that much. Only when there were few people on the ship could she find the opportunity to thoroughly check the structure of the ship. With only the displayed drawings, she could not deeply understand the shortcomings of the ship.
Zhang Zhan waved to her vigorously, "Tell the emperor, can't we need six people? I will go up to replace one person, and you take me with you!" On the one hand, he wanted to learn skills from Long Xinyu, although he was only a shipbuilder.
But the closer he can get to the ship, the better he can do his job. And if Long Xinyu can't drive the huge ship, he can help her think of a way.
Long Xinyu sighed, this idiot, does he want to drive out by himself, or does he not want to drive out by himself, "No need. You are so lucky to be here waiting for me."
After saying that, she jumped into the boat and looked at the four people she selected from the crowd. One of them was Lan Gu who had just changed her clothes. They looked at each other and exchanged glances. The remaining people were all Long Xinyu.
I found them at the scene and didn't know much about them. This time the matter was urgent. Although this method is simple, I still want to make it clear.
"I got the emperor's order to sail the boat. I have already said that I only need five people to sail the boat to sea." The three people looked at each other, each of them looking very nervous.
"But, girl, the five of us can't drive this boat." Among the five of them, only one is a little stronger. The other four, including Long Xinyu and Lan Gu, are all thin and small. How can we drive it?
She got the boat because Long Xinyu is a woman.
I don’t know whose girl it is that is acting so nonsense.
If this job goes wrong, what will happen next? Will the emperor get so angry that he kills them?
Long Xinyu shook his head, "If this thing is done, you will be the most capable people in Tianshenghai Shipping Industry. You can't say that you can shine on the lintel, but you can still achieve it by becoming famous for a while. Are you willing? No, you are not willing.
Get off the boat now. I'll take someone else's place."
The three people looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, just listen to the girl."
Long Xinyu nodded and quickly assigned the tasks, "You are responsible for the first three paddles on the left, you are responsible for the first three on the right, and you are responsible for stepping on the water gate," he said to Lan Gu, "You go up and steer." Lan Gu held the
For those with skill, steering may seem easy, but it requires skill.
Lan Gu nodded. Although she had never seen anyone able to sail such a large boat with only five people, she believed Long Xinyu after he said so. After thinking about it, she jumped on board.
The three men found their respective places and stood there, gearing up and trying to get this thing done. Then one of the stronger ones asked, "Girl, the four of us have errands, what are you doing?"
Long Xinyu blinked, "I? Of course I will command you."
Hearing what she said, the three of them were stunned. Doesn't it mean that this ship only needs four people to sail?
One of the bearded men laughed, "Hahaha, the girl is really loud. I, Wu Laosi, have been building ships for half my life, and I have never seen anyone with such a loud voice. I am afraid that the girl is a pirate at sea?"
Long Xinyu raised her eyebrows, "Just think of me as such." As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell silent. Pirates, that's no joke.
They thought the girl was just joking, but the three of them didn't want to talk anymore. They stopped talking, and Long Xinyu was happy and quiet. She looked at the boat carefully. There were ten big boats on each side, except for
The two of them each control three, and there are fourteen more. It is enough for one person behind to step on the water gate. Lan Gu above can also rest assured, as long as she goes back around the river.
Humming a song, she has never had such a relaxing moment, and now she is the captain.
He reached out and picked up the hemp rope on the side, tied the remaining fourteen oars like butterfly wings, fixed them with four large wooden barrels filled with wine in the middle, and then put a booster stick on the buckets.
In this way, as long as she walks in the boat and follows a certain direction, the oars on all sides will move together.
In fact, if there is a mechanical device that does not require humans to operate, this would be the primary form of a modern ship. However, people today have not thought of using it in such a way. Not everyone can think of the lever principle plus circular action.
Long Xinyu had also been trained in modern times, otherwise she would not have thought of doing this. Looking at the astonishment of the three of them, she smiled, "Actually, it would be better to have a donkey instead of me."
The three of them laughed loudly. Seeing that their moods had calmed down, Long Xinyu felt relieved. After all, she had never actually operated this wooden boat, and she was not sure what she would encounter later.
She shouted to the top, "Lan Gu, lower the sail." She climbed up, pulled up the anchor, and waved the flag over there. The people below cheered.
Long Xinyu's face was also very happy. After all, such things can make people feel excited.
Seeing that nothing was going on up there, she said to Lan Gu, "Go to that protruding place, turn right, and go east. When you are about to hit the land, turn right again, and drive back. Do you understand?"
It was really not easy for Lan Gu to pretend to be sailing for the first time, but she still nodded to show dignity.
Seeing her calm eyes looking at the sea, and her determination to stop the big ship from going out to sea, Long Xinyu could think of something, but she didn't dare to confirm it, that's all, even if it was to help Lan Gu and Yun Shao.
Seeing that the big ship really sailed out, not only the people cheered, but even the few people who came from Tuoba were stunned. Even if they used the most powerful warriors in Tuoba, their ship would still need at least twenty people.
, However, this woman only needs five people, which is really amazing. After looking at each other, it seems that this woman has already aroused their interest.
Long Xinyu didn't know that she had become good food in the eyes of others. Even Tong Luoyang thought so at the moment. This woman really dared to say and do.
Tong Luofeng, on the other hand, directly sent people to find out the details of this woman. Tong Luoyang is now the emperor, and he needs to thoroughly investigate any woman he has a crush on. There cannot be another Ming'er in the palace.
Maybe, he is too cautious, but the kingdom of Tiansheng cannot be destroyed in the hands of these two brothers. He is not an emperor, and he will not be obsessed with the authorities. He wants to help him with things that Tong Luoyang can't think of, or is unwilling to consider.
Thinking about it, this is truly good for him and good for the Heavenly Saint.
Long Xinyu slowly took the wooden stick in her arms. After all, this was just a ceremony for traveling to the sea, and it was not a march to a war. Fighting at such a fast speed? She suddenly became speechless. If Tuoba's mission was not so simple,
If it's not just as simple as finding a new continent, what if they want to find a waterway to attack Tiansheng?
Tiansheng is much larger than Tuoba, and has abundant land and resources, but what if Tuoba now annexes the Miao and Dou countries? Will he follow today's waterways to attack Tiansheng!
There are many such examples in modern times. It is not impossible to make a small fortune to make a big one. If it is when a country is most tired, in the most unexpected way, it may really deal a fatal blow to the Heavenly Saint.
The movements of her hands slowed down again, and now her mind could no longer care about the ship. All she could think about was, what would happen if a naval battle started?
Suddenly, he heard the man behind him say, "Girl, the water gate isn't moving." He stepped on it several times, but to no avail, and he didn't dare to exert any more force, so he called Long Xinyu.
She frowned, how could the sluice not move? There was no exhaust pipe now. If the sluice was not used to pump water, the ship would probably fall backwards.
He hurriedly put down the stick and shouted to the top, "Turn right, turn right!" Then he said to the person on the right holding the stick, "Come and grab the stick, do what I did just now, don't use too much force!"
"Then he said to the man on the left, "When the boat turns around, you don't have to paddle. Wait for my command."
The two men nodded. They are both fishermen who have been fishing at sea all year round. They naturally understand the importance of hull accidents. No matter how shallow the sea is, they must not be careless.
Long Xinyu ran to the back and took a look, only to see that the axle of the water gate that could swing up and down was stuck by something. "There is something, I think it is algae." Modern screws will not encounter such a problem.
The strong man said, "Then I'll take it out with my hands." Just as he was about to reach out, Long Xinyu stopped him, "No, the hull is too heavy. If you release it all at once, your hand will be broken by the momentum."
The strong man quickly took back his hand, "But, what should we do now?"
Long Xinyu frowned, looked around, then took a rope and tied the wooden planks to both sides of the ship. She took a shovel on one side and hit it hard. The entire sluice board broke and the ship instantly moved forward.
A big step.
The ship was originally traveling slowly, but suddenly it became faster. People on the shore were stunned. The ship was jumping violently just now. Not only the people, but also Tuoba Captain were stunned. The reason why they came to Tiansheng to search for people,
It is because they themselves cannot overcome the shortcomings of the big ship. Many details are not handled well, and therefore, they can only come here in a small boat. This big ship was also built in Tiansheng, because no one can drive it.
Drive a hundred miles.
Tong Luoyang looked at the boat and frowned, "Brother Emperor, if someone falls into the water here, is there any remedy?"
Tong Luofeng nodded, "There are people who know how to deal with water waiting by the side." After all, there are many people, so just in case, there must be some people who know how to deal with water to be ready to save people. "I'm afraid something happened on that boat just now."
Tong Luoyang nodded, not knowing whether the woman could solve it.
The strong man was stunned when he saw Long Xinyu's movements. The two people in front came to their senses when they heard the noise behind them. Looking behind them, even Lan Gu was shouting from above, "What's wrong?"
The hull tilted back just now, not just a little bit, but now the hull is also slightly tilted. The large sluice made by Long Xinyu on site is not as refined as the original one, but it is much more practical. Although the hull has some water in it, it can still be driven back.
Enough.
Long Xinyu sighed, "Okay, it's just that you have to spend some effort to hold on to the board. It may be a little heavier and it's not as easy as just now." Looking at the cold sweat on the strong man's head, he asked, "What's wrong?"
The strong man said nervously, "But we made such a big hole in the ship, how will we explain it when we get back!" This ship is so huge that it is rare among several countries. It can be said that a huge amount of money was spent, and it is just in my own hands.
broken?
Long Xinyu asked in confusion, "Is such a broken floodgate more important than your hand? Even if I have to trade the whole boat for your hand, I will do it! I will take care of it myself, Your Majesty. Okay, each of you can do it."
Everyone, don't panic."
With that said, she returned to the middle of the hull. This incident not only broke up her train of thought, but also brought her back to reality, making her realize that there were indeed many problems with this hull. Let alone a ship like this, it would never go to sea.
Even fishing is boring.
At this time, the boat had already passed the second bend, and the port was in front of it. She said calmly, "We will be there soon, just hold on." She looked specifically at the new sluice at the back to make sure it was correct, and then she turned back.
deck.
