Chapter 642?? Location of Xisha

Really surprised.

For a Type II paddle steamer to reach normal speed, at least three people need to push the roulette to drive the paddle wheels on both sides of the ship.

Moreover, the three of them tried their best to push the roulette.

If five people operate it, it can save a lot of effort.

But now, only two people are used, and it seems that they are pushing the roulette as if they are playing, which has to make Li Chongyuan startled.

Without further ado, Li Chongyuan approached the roulette directly, "Stop, let me try."

The two stopped as they said, and walked aside.

Li Chongyuan started directly and began to push the roulette.

"So light?" When Li Chongyuan pushed the roulette, he felt that he only used [-]% of his strength. Compared with the original roulette, this is completely two extremes.

Wan Hong on the side said with a smile on his face: "Jun Wang Li, this is the core power after Mr. Mo's revision. Among them, a lot of gears have been added, and there are some mechanisms in it, so now even one person can use it." The ship moved forward at a normal speed. Of course, using two people can save a lot of energy, after all, if you sail for a long time, one person is not enough, so I used two people."

"Okay, very good! Mr. Mo is really a capable person. I really didn't expect that this mechanism is so powerful, it seems that no matter what, we have to invite Mr. Mo back again." Li Chongyuan sighed.

Although, Li Chongyuan has already seen the power of mechanism skills, such as those two farm tools.

Li Chongyuan can still understand the two pieces of farming tools and the seeding machine, and can understand a little bit.

But as for the harvester, Li Chongyuan couldn't understand it. After all, Li Chongyuan was not born as a mechanical student. Even if he wanted to understand it, he didn't have the basic knowledge.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan could only try his best to understand the harvester designed by Murphy.

But even so, at the moment, Li Chongyuan couldn't understand the power of the ship repaired by Mo Fei.

The manpower used is reduced, and the strength is relatively reduced, but the speed has been increased by more than one gear.

As for the stability, there is nothing to say, at least, as far as it is concerned, Li Chongyuan has not felt the slightest bump since he got on the boat.

Compared with Li Chongyuan's state when he returned to Chang'an on a C-[-] paddle steamer a few months ago, he is completely different.

In this regard.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was even more looking forward to the improved Type C-[-] paddle steamer.

If, as Wan Hong said, the C-[-] paddle steamer only used part of the core power modified by Murphy, then the C-[-] paddle steamer would be more labor-saving, faster, and Is it more stable?
In this regard.

When Li Chongyuan thought of the arrival of the B-[-] paddle steamer, he felt a little urgent.

However, at this time, the type C-[-] paddle steamer still needs to be tested, so it can only wait for the end of the test.

After an hour.

As soon as the trial voyage of the C-[-] paddle steamer was over, Li Chongyuan followed Yu Rong to board his ship.

As Li Chongyuan guessed, as soon as the Type C-[-] paddle steamer started to move, Li Chongyuan felt its speed.

Everything was as Li Chongyuan guessed, fast and smooth, everything was so smooth.

"Yu Rong, tell them to speed up, I want to see how it goes at full speed." Li Chongyuan began to speak as soon as the boat reached Hanshui.

Yu Rong received Li Chongyuan's instructions and gave instructions to the two boatmen in the operating room.

After a while.

The ship began to accelerate, and after a quarter of an hour, it had entered the full speed stage.

When it started at full speed, Li Chongyuan was even more shocked.

Li Chongyuan estimated that the full speed at this time was estimated to be as high as [-] miles per hour. (exaggerate)

At such a speed, it is already close to 23 knots.

Li Chongyuan stood on the boat and exclaimed endlessly.

And Xing Ba and the others were also exclaimed, and they exclaimed again and again: "This speed, if it enters the sea, it will be faster."

"Yeah, it's too fast, so fast that I'm a little dizzy."

"Such a speed, my eyes are dazzled."

Everyone, you speak my word.

Although it is not as outrageous as they said, at least the speed of the current C-[-] paddle steamer is really fast.

Compared with the paddle steamer dedicated to the imperial court, it is already close to twice its speed.

This also made Li Chongyuan make up an idea in his heart, that is, no matter what, he had to invite that Murphy back.

This is not.

After the trial voyage was over, Li Chongyuan went directly to Xixiang County without any time for lunch, and asked Yao Kong to ask someone to inquire about the situation of Mur Fei after he went to Huayang County.

Why don't you send your own people to inquire?
Li Chongyuan naturally had his own plans.

Mo Fei knew the people around Li Chongyuan. Li Chongyuan was afraid that if he sent someone to Huayang County to inquire about Mur Fei's whereabouts, it might backfire.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan wanted to inquire about Mur Fei's whereabouts through the officials.

As long as he finds out about Mo Fei's whereabouts, Li Chongyuan will definitely go to invite him in person.

but.

Li Chongyuan's thoughts were good, but after a few days, not to mention that he didn't find out about Mo Fei's whereabouts, he didn't even have any news about Mo Fei.

This made Li Chongyuan feel disappointed.

It felt like this Murphy came suddenly and then disappeared suddenly.

There was no news about Mo Fei, but Li Chongyuan began to pay attention to the news of Mojiazi and others, "Tang Li, Liu Xiang, do you know where these Mojiazi usually go? Or where are they usually?"

"Xiao Langjun, we don't know about this. The Mo family seldom shows up in the rivers and lakes on weekdays. The ones who can appear are basically some solitary knights. Just like that Mo Fei, we guess this person should be the Mo family. A lone traveler." Tang Li knew that Li Chongyuan was eager to invite that Mo Fei, but he did not expect that Li Chongyuan had already started targeting other Mojiazi.

After Li Chongyuan heard the words, he was disappointed again: "Oh! It seems that it is very difficult to invite some Mohists. Tang Li, Liu Xiang, see if you can send a message to some of your friends, see See where there is Mojiazi. If there is any news, you can also go to visit at that time."

"Since you have spoken, Mr. Xiaolang, we can do it. But this matter may not be successful. At that time, I hope you will not blame me, Mr. Xiaolang." Tang Li nodded lightly after hearing Li Chongyuan's words. Nodding, but it gave Li Chongyuan an uncertain result.

Li Chongyuan threw out a helpless expression and said: "If you really can't find it as you said, then I, Li Chongyuan, don't have that life. If I can't find it, I can't blame you, it's not Your fault."

looking for someone.

But this way of finding people is like finding a needle in a haystack.

and.

There are very few Mojiazi in the first place. If you want to find Mojiazi in the whole world, it is basically as difficult as going to the blue sky.

Besides, these Mojiazi are not ordinary people, and they don't even have a fixed residence.

a few days later.

When Wan Hong's ship's sea trial was over and some simple problems were fixed, Li Chongyuan suddenly called Wan Hong and the others, "Next, the ship needs a long-distance sea trial, and my plan is to go to sea this time. Trial voyage. Furthermore, I also want to take people to the seaside, and I want to go to Suzhou. Therefore, for this long-distance trial voyage, I will go with the ship."

"Your Majesty Li, it's no problem to go to the sea trial. But I'm afraid we won't be able to go with you. After all, you have told us, Li Junwang, that we have to build a C-type paddle steamer this year. Therefore, the sea trial matter, I can only leave it to our nephews to do it." Wan Hong had no objection to Li Chongyuan's sea trial.

And so did Yu Rong and the others.

Li Chongyuan nodded and said: "You are busy with your work, just arrange the people."

After the three of them got the word, they started to get busy.

As for Li Chongyuan, he also started to prepare.

This time, Li Chongyuan needed to go to the seaside to find a suitable address for the shipyard.

original.

Li Chongyuan once had a place in his mind, but Li Chongyuan felt that it was too close to the city. Recently, Li Chongyuan directly rejected this place.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan plans to go directly to Suzhou this time, and wants to find a place where Suzhou is located that is suitable for building a large dock.

If only C-type paddle steamers are built, there is no need to build a shipyard.

But Li Chongyuan's goal is to build Type B, or even Type A ships.

The length of the C-type paddle steamer has exceeded 50 meters, and the B-type ship, according to the design drawing, has reached 90 meters.

As for the Type A, it is even bigger, and its length is estimated to have exceeded 120 meters.

Maybe, once the A-type ships are successfully built, Li Chongyuan may have to build one or two super-A-type ships.

For a ship of such length, its width is definitely not small, and its draft is naturally impossible to be too shallow.

to this end.

In Li Chongyuan's plan, Xixiang is mainly used to build medium-sized ships, while the new shipyard by the sea is mainly used to build large ships.

As the governor of Yangzhou, Li Chongyuan didn't do his job properly. He didn't care about government affairs, but he only did his own thing.

If the court officials in Chang'an knew about this, they might not know how to attack Li Chongyuan.

Fortunately, Li Shimin had already let go, otherwise, Li Chongyuan would really be over.

a few days later.

Li Chongyuan boarded the ship with dozens of guards and others, as well as ten or twenty servants, and began a long-distance trial voyage.

Starting from Licun Wharf, two C-type paddle steamers, under the control of Wan Hong and his nephews, began to sail down the ocean water, out of the ocean water, and into the Han River.

When Li Chongyuan and the others arrived at the coast of Suzhou, it only took three and a half days.

Calculated according to the distance, the total mileage from Xixiang to Suzhou is at least [-] miles.

And within these [-] miles, under the fast sailing of two improved C-type paddle steamers, it took only three and a half days to reach Suzhou.

Three and a half days, this is a big breakthrough.

This is just a normal speed. If it is at full speed, Li Chongyuan believes that it will only take two and a half days to reach Suzhou.

Of course, this is only because of going down the river.

If it is going upstream, it will definitely cost more time.

on board.

Relying on the evening light, Li Chongyuan looked at where the coastline was more suitable for building a shipyard.

When the ship came to a deep water area, Li Chongyuan immediately stopped the ship.

"Xiao Langjun, this place looks suitable. But this place is far away from human habitation, and this place is a waterway. It seems suitable to build a shipyard here, but it is very easy to leak the secrets of the shipyard. Moreover, that island is full of sand. , if you want to build a shipyard in this area, I am afraid that the cost will be extremely high, and the island may be submerged when the flood comes. Xiao Lang, how about changing another place?" When Li Chongyuan called to stop the ship Afterwards, Xingba knew that Li Chongyuan had his eyes on a place far away.

This place is at the mouth of the Yangtze River Estuary.

At the same time, it was also the Chongming Island of Li Chongyuan's previous life.

but.

At this time, Chongming Island was two small islands, and it was formed by the accumulation of sand washed down by the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

As Xing Ba said, building a large shipyard here would cost a lot, and maybe a flood would submerge the two islands.

"I'm not afraid of the high cost. Anyway, the materials for building the shipyard can be obtained in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Moreover, you said that this island will be submerged by floods, which is impossible. As far as I know, this island appeared during the reign of the Supreme Emperor , It has been nearly ten years now. In ten years, I have never heard that the flood of the Yangtze River has submerged these two islands. No matter how big the Yangtze River is, these two islands have never been submerged. So, you The possibility of saying that is extremely low. As for the leak you mentioned, I am not worried. As long as the shipyard is completed, I will install some ship-repelling wood teeth near the island, and I will also send people to patrol, as long as there are people If you dare to land on this island, then one word, arrest." Li Chongyuan already regarded these two islands as his own.

It is also true that these two sand islands, which have only been formed for less than ten years, are already unowned.

If Li Chongyuan wanted to take these two islands as his own, no one would say anything.

But then again, Li Chongyuan didn't really take these two sand islands as his own. At least, he would write a memorial and present it to Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin would issue a title deed to himself.

After all, Shadao had no owner in the first place, and Li Chongyuan didn't need to consult the local government if he wanted to build a shipyard here.

Basically, what Li Chongyuan wants to do will not be affected by other people's words.

This is not.

After everyone rested on the boat that night, Li Chongyuan boarded the island at dawn the next day.

"Xiao Langjun, this island doesn't have a name yet. We're going to build a shipyard here in the future. Should you give these two islands a name?" Xing Ba suggested after landing on Sand Island.

Li Chongyuan nodded, "There should be a name. In the future, the middle of the two sand islands will be filled to turn the two sand islands into one island, and this place is made of sand, and the sand that comes from it is From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, from now on, this place will be called Xisha.”

Li Chongyuan did not name this place Chongming Island, but followed the origin of Chongming Island and used the original name of Xisha.
