Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Bowen obviously scratched his itch. He laughed a few times before proudly saying,

"Your Highness, this entire cabin is actually made of wood and iron sheets. Didn't the casting team have a technology from you? Use a roller to grind the iron sheets into thin sheets, which can be used to make kettles or something!"

"We found this technology, and at the same time made the iron sheet a little thinner, and then the inside is a wooden cabin with mortise and tenon joints, and the outside is an iron-clad wood shell, and at the same time, it is equipped with an anti-leakage air pressure isolation chamber and a double anti-leakage chamber. door, this problem is basically solved!"

"Of course, we have painted the wooden cabins with mortise and tenon structure, so the airtightness is really good!"

Zhang Nuo nodded in relief, and understood that these people really created a miracle with the simplest means.

In fact, he had just discovered during his visit that the different compartments are not directly accessible. You have to open a door first, then enter a small isolation compartment, then open the opposite door, and then enter another compartment. Cabin, this is to prevent different air pressure leakage between different cabins.

Moreover, he also discovered just now that there are many strange machines in the rear warehouse, presumably they were remodeled or even manufactured by these people for various functions.

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in this airship, and there are still many problems in terms of practicality, but I have to say that the current situation alone is enough for Zhang Nuo to be satisfied.

Zhang Nuo was really happy for Xu Bowen and his group. They really used their own hands to create a miracle of this era.

This unnamed airship can be said to be a collection of Datang's most advanced technologies in physics, mechanical dynamics, chemistry and other fields.

Zhang Nuo patted Xu Bowen on the shoulder and said with a smile,

"Old Xu, if you can get this thing out, it proves that you're on the right track, and since you're on the right track, then find a way to keep going!"

"The future development discovery, I think you also understand, how to make it fly faster, carry more weight, make it cheaper to build, and make supplies more convenient, all of these need to be considered by you!"

"In addition, as the governor of Korea and also the person in charge of the Pyongyang City Research Institute, I will put the other rewards aside first, and I will give you the first reward first!"

"This world's first airship, I officially named it Bowen as a compliment to you!"

Xu Bowen burst into tears when he heard this, he was really happy!

Chapter 687 Advice to Xu Bowen

The conversation on the airship didn't last long, after all, the small town where Li Jing's troops were stationed was already under their feet.

The airship flies with the power generated by the propeller blades driven by a steam engine. Because of such a steam engine, the cargo warehouse is actually full of coal and water.

For this reason, Xu Bowen had the courage to come here because he was looking for Zhang Nuo. Otherwise, he would not have dared to fly so far directly. You must know that there are really not many places where coal can be replenished.

If the voyage distance is not so far, then he can still use the water and coal on the airship to fly a round trip, but flying from Pyongyang City to the cloud where Zhang Nuo is now is obviously not a round trip. distance.

So, if Xu Bowen hadn't thought about Zhang Nuo's miraculous ability to pull anything out of his pocket, he really wouldn't have dared to fly this way. It was too painful.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the airship on Li Jing's side obviously caused panic among the people on the ground, but Li Jing is obviously sensible. When he saw this incomprehensible thing, he guessed that it was probably that person. His Royal Highness King Qin's handwriting, so he hurried to appease the sergeant.

After all, it still seems a bit embarrassing to keep yelling at the bottom.

Zhang Nuo thought that the journey would not take long, but he forgot one thing, that is, Li Shimin can't come here so soon.

So, even though Zhang Nuo has been here for a long time, there are still only Li Jing, the guy he dislikes, and the old people from the investigation team.

Most of the hot air balloon operators in the reconnaissance unit came from the scientific research institute. They are very familiar with the airship. After all, they were all in the scientific research institute when it was first manufactured and tested. stay here.

Therefore, at this time, they were particularly proud to introduce the miraculous equipment of the airship to the sergeants around them. This information is not confidential, after all, the airship is like a conspiracy in the war.

You know all kinds of information about this thing, and you know its function, but you just can’t get it out, what can you do?

You don’t even have the means to resist this thing, the crossbow arrows can’t be shot, the catapult and so on are useless, and other means are useless, except that you can pray for a thunder from the sky to split the airship, take this thing There is no way to fart.

Because of this, Zhang Nuo only kept the craftsmanship secret from the very beginning, but he was almost defenseless about all kinds of information about the airship.

Looking at the commotion below, Zhang Nuo simply asked Xu Bowen to stop the steam engine directly. The entire airship was suspended at an altitude of one or two hundred meters without landing, and just stayed there quietly, waiting for Li Shimin's large army to come.

Zhang Nuo was simply too lazy to go down and talk to Li Jing, anyway, he looked uncomfortable, and everyone would be embarrassed to go down now, so why not float in the sky to see the scenery and chat with Xu Bowen, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

For this, Xu Bowen can be said to agree with both hands and feet. As I said before, because Xu Bowen has a much better understanding of science than ordinary people, he can't find a suitable person to communicate with him.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to have a chat with the only candidate, His Highness King Qin, he was too happy.

As for General Li Jing, it's none of his business, not to mention that he is not a member of the military at all, and has nothing to do with Li Jing's family. So many.

Perhaps this is a common problem of technicians. The more energy invested in science and technology and the more obsessed, the more dull they will be in other aspects.

This seems to be a common problem of all excellent technicians. To put it a little bit further, the kind of people with high EQ and IQ can not only do scientific research well, but also handle interpersonal relationships and various affairs with ease. Maybe the real boss.

The communication between Zhang Nuo and Xu Bowen was very pleasant. For him, chatting with Li Shimin is nonsense between friends. The sky is high and the sea is wide and everything can be talked, but unless Li Shimin pulls him to talk about specific state affairs, otherwise the two of them are just Just bullshit to pass the time.

But in the chat with Xu Bowen, on the one hand, Zhang Nuo was resolving Xu Bowen's confusion. After all, many of Xu Bowen's confusions were actually blocked when he was doing scientific research, or his knowledge limited him. The imagination of scientific research road.

At this time, Zhang Nuo also remembered an article that he read somewhere, which mentioned a very interesting truth, that is, scientific researchers are rigorous, but they desperately need romance.

Because only romantic people can come up with some whimsical ideas and give themselves a light to move forward when the research is in trouble.

However, Xu Bowen is not because he is not romantic enough at this time, but purely because he does not have enough knowledge. After all, in this era of Datang, even though Xu Bowen has seen many things with Zhang Nuo, in fact, compared with life For Zhang Nuo in the era of knowledge explosion in later generations, he is still too ignorant.

The old people often say to understand by analogy, but if you don't even have the chance to "inference by analogy", or if you say it is very slim, then how can you "bypass"?

Zhang Nuo is just chatting with Xu Bowen now, using one idea after another to enrich Xu Bowen's mind.

Maybe these things can't solve any substantive problems, but sometimes, an inspiration is more important than the solution of a small problem, because it represents the direction.

Xu Bowen chatted with Zhang Nuo for several hours, and even the meals were snacks that Zhang Nuo brought out at random.

In fact, there is food on the airship, but for the sake of safety, all the food on the airship is cold, such as dry pancakes, fried noodles, and dried sweet potatoes, basically to ensure that people will not die of hunger.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo was speechless. He hammered Xu Bowen's head, and led him directly to the cabin where the steam engine was located. He pointed to the big thing that was still steaming even when it was shut down, and said,

"Can your brain be used for other purposes? Such a big thing is constantly steaming, so you can't think of using it to heat something to eat? But making something is much more comfortable than eating dry or cold food, right? "
