Chapter 709 Experimental Ship Model
Because of the lighting problem at sea, even the boldest dare not go to sea at night.Even if ordinary fishermen go to sea, they will come back before dark.

The same is true for warships. They cannot see enemy ships clearly and cannot sail.In a foggy day, as long as the two ships pass by, they are basically invisible.

Leng Feng patted Sun Xiaoquan on the shoulder: "This proposal is very good, but we can't solve this problem for the time being. On the other hand, don't you think that illuminating the enemy ship also provides direction for the enemy?"

Sun Xiaoquan thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

A group of people returned to the house of the shipyard, waiting to start the experiment tomorrow.

Back in the room, Leng Feng took a nap under Liu Shuwen's massage.

The matter of rushing on the road does not mean that if you are physically strong, you will not be tired.

After disembarking from the boat, even Li Ke threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

After waking up, Leng Feng lit the oil lamp and began to draw pictures under the light.

Although I don't know the structure of modern ships, it's okay to guess.

Now restrict the direction of the experiment, how can the number of failures be reduced.

It was not until midnight that Leng Feng completed the relevant blueprints.

Let Li Tai do the rest.

Today's Li Tai, after years of practice, has become a qualified scientific research worker.Although the ironclad ship is difficult, Leng Feng believes that Li Tai will definitely be able to persist until the research is completed.

Anything, as long as you persist, the result will not be too bad.

Early the next morning, Li Tai, who had had enough sleep, got up by himself without being called, and even did some exercise.

As long as you make up your mind and start working hard, Lee Tae can persevere more than anyone else.

Lazy, he is seriously lazy.

Seriously, he is also serious.

During breakfast, Leng Feng handed a stack of blueprints to Li Tai: "Let's have a look, it should inspire you."

Li Tai took the drawings and looked at them carefully one by one.

"Keel? Watertight cabin?"

Leng Feng nodded: "That's right, even though our new ship is made of steel, it will still blow over when the wind is strong. Therefore, not only can it not be overturned normally, but it can't be overturned when the wind is strong. The keel and watertight cabin, although It's a part of a wooden ship, but I think it can also be used for an ironclad ship."

Li Tai nodded: "I think so too, but master, we still need to build a model first, and we shouldn't need a watertight cabin for the time being."

The ironclad ship is different from Li Tai's fish boat. It is impossible to directly build a physical experiment for such a large ship.Initially, it is still necessary to build the model.

After breakfast, the artisans are busy.

Now they have to do their own things, and whoever builds the unsinkable ship first will be the hero.

Leng Jing and Leng Yuewu were also brought over by Leng Feng.Shipbuilding model is a fun game that tests people's thinking and hands-on ability.Since it was an opportunity to educate his children, how could he let it go.

One morning passed.

Two craftsmen completed their own models and tried them in the water, but they turned over as expected.

Floating is floating, but how to sail forward is still a problem.

Leng Jing also made a ship model, but the ship model he made was not made of steel, but wood.

Leng Feng took Leng Jing into the water to test the boat. Although the boat made by Leng Jing was strangely shaped, it was actually floating. Although it was going crookedly, it was a success.

Li Tai also completed a model ship and launched it into the water.However, without waiting to advance, his boat capsized as soon as it entered the water.

Seeing this scene, Leng Feng smiled and said, "It's turned over."

Li Tai sighed: "Yes, Master, it's over."

Leng Feng walked up to Li Tai and patted him on the shoulder: "Aren't you discouraged?"

Li Tai took a deep breath: "Don't be discouraged, this iron-clad ship will definitely become the overlord of the sea. How can such a ship be compared with something like a steam engine? Now that I have researched the steam engine, the iron-clad ship must not be far away."

After picking up the sunken ship model, Li Tai went ashore and started making again.

Leng Jing looked at Li Tai's back, couldn't help tugging at Leng Feng's sleeve: "Dad, why don't we stay with these Qingque brothers."

Leng Feng rubbed Leng Jing's head: "Silly boy, as long as your senior brother succeeds in modeling, he is not far from real success. We can leave when she succeeds in modeling. Didn't you always want to see what Mount Tai looks like?" , Daddy will take you to climb up, to experience the feeling of being the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains."

Leng Jing nodded happily.

Applause came from the shore, it was Zhou Jiao.

"Duke Huguo speaks well, he will be the top of the mountain, and he will look at all the mountains and small mountains. Only people like you have such a broad mind."

Seeing that Zhou Jiao had no entourage, Leng Feng curled his lips: "Come on, tell me, Changsun Wuji is bothering you."

Now that the two are getting along, it's time to tell the truth.

Zhou Jiao said helplessly: "You are giants fighting, I am a little ant, I am easy to die among you, I will be fine if I leave you. Don't worry, Lord Protector, this official has actually been appreciated by His Majesty, but I am worried about the people of Dengzhou He became rich, so he didn't directly go to Beijing to take up his post."

Back then when Leng Feng was sent to Beijing, he gave his life to protect him on the way.This was a great achievement. Li Shimin originally planned to transfer Zhou Jiao to Chang'an, but at that time Dengzhou had not officially started to open up business routes, so Zhou Jiao was worried.

Leng Feng took his son to the shore, and said with a smile: "Dengzhou has now opened up a commercial route, and after that, it is a question of scale and efficiency. Two great achievements, I guess you will be a fourth-rank official when you go to Chang'an."

Zhou Jiao didn't hide anything, and nodded: "The lower official is for this credit. To be honest, if the lower official stayed in Chang'an at that time, he would only be a fourth rank. Now, he can be regarded as a genuine fourth rank."

Leng Feng didn't despise Zhou Jiao's deliberate act of seeking credit, at least, he really got the credit by relying on his ability, not bribery.

Although the local officials are not low in rank, they have not developed much after all.If you want to have a place in the imperial court, or to be able to let other people remember their names, only officials of the fourth grade or above can do it.

Zhou Jiao followed Leng Feng to the shipyard, and said as he walked, "Master Huguo, the lower officials in Dengzhou have started martial law. However, no abnormalities have been found."

Leng Feng curled his lips: "You are superfluous, Changsun Wuji doesn't dare to touch me now. Because he already knows that I found him. Under such circumstances, he will only look for opportunities to add insult to injury. You want him to take the initiative, yes Impossible. This old fox will only eat carrion forever."

The court is like the four seasons, deducing the prosperity, honor and disgrace of each family.Facts have proved that Changsun Wuji's way of life can also occupy a place in the court.

Leng Feng doesn't need to deliberately seek power, some power doesn't have to be in his own hands.

For example, Wang Xuance of Jingbei Province has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites.
　I am still being escorted, and I hope my father will get better soon.
