Douluo: Becoming Stronger Starts with Eating Soul Beast Meat

This area faces the coast and penetrates the wall like an entrance. At the same time, this opening connects the internal and external docks.

This design not only facilitates the launch of ships into the sea, but also facilitates sea-going ships to directly enter the shipyard for repairs.

From the parking area in the field, there was a noisy sound that was completely opposite to the previous journey.

Dozens of people gathered at the pier to comment on the boats floating in the water.

Seeing this, Quan Yue shouted loudly forward: "Director Jiang!"

Among the crowd, the thinnest figure turned to look at them.

He noticed that it was Quanyue, and immediately trotted forward, saluting Quanyue and Quanli with an excited look on his face:

"Master, you are finally here, and we have just made preparations for the test.

But who are these two? "

This person is none other than Jiang Jun, the factory director's disciple who was recruited from Hanhai Shipyard.

At the same time, this person is also the current owner of Quanjia Shipyard. It is precisely because of this person's existence that Quanjia Shipyard's technological development will be so rapid.

Therefore, Quanyue immediately handed over the task of manufacturing steamships to Jiang Jun.

Before Quan Yue could introduce him, Quan Yi approached Jiang Jun and shook hands: "Hello, Captain Jiang, my name is Quan Yi. I have already heard about your name in Blazing Fire Academy."

Director Jiang looked at the muscular Quan Yi and the features on his face, and roughly guessed Quan Yi's identity.

The way he looked at Quan Yi changed several times in a very short period of time.

From the initial surprise, to disbelief, to the final admiration.

He held Quan Yi's hand with slight trembling and said excitedly: "Young Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

The steam ship drawings designed by you are really eye-opening to me. It completely subverts my previous knowledge of shipbuilding.

If it weren't for the fact that the young master is busy with work, I would have long wanted to visit the young master and ask you for your design ideas. "

Jiang Jun looked at Quan Yi with eyes full of admiration.

At the same time, he pretended to be a junior and asked Quan Yi for advice.

Quan Yue added on the side: "Xiao Yi, every time I come here, Director Jiang will ask me for news about you.

Now that we finally meet, you might as well have a good communication with Director Jiang. "

"Of course, Director Jiang's contribution to our Quan family is obvious to all. Moreover, in terms of shipbuilding skills, I am far inferior to Director Jiang. I also need to ask for more advice.

However, the factory director invited us here today, isn’t there something more important? "

As soon as Izumi said that, he moved his eyes towards the dock.

Jiang Jun patted his forehead and said, "It's all my fault for being too excited, please forgive me, young master.

I invite you all to come here today to show you our preliminary results.

plz follow me. "

Jiang Jun led everyone through the crowd and arrived at the dock.

I saw an ordinary medium-sized wooden sailboat docked on the shore.

"Hey, isn't this just an ordinary sailboat? It seems completely different from the pattern on Xiaoyi's drawing?"

Huo Wu looked at Jiang Jun doubtfully.

Indeed, the shape of the boat is not much different from an ordinary wooden sailboat.

The only difference is that there are thick and slender iron pillars standing next to the ship's mast.

In addition, there are no additional steel plates on the outside of the ship, which is completely contrary to the image of a giant steel ship described by Izumi.

However, Quan Yi's eyes did not focus on the appearance, but looked towards the water surface.

When he saw the extending shadow under the water, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Xiao Wu, don't just look at the surface. This ship is not as simple as it looks."

Quan Yi then looked at Jiang Jun with an expression of approval.

Then he said to Jiang Jun: "Since Factory Owner Jiang has summoned us, he must be well prepared.

Without further ado, let’s ask the owner of Jiang Factory to show us the special features of this seagoing ship. "

Jiang Jun had been paying attention to Quan Yi's actions. From Quan Yi's expression and movements, he knew that Quan Yi had noticed something special about the ship.

There was also joy on his face.

He immediately took command of the crew around him.

Several men surrounding the ship boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

A noisy sound of footsteps echoed on the deck above our heads.

Jiang Jun then walked towards the ship and said, "It's hard to see clearly from here. Why don't you all get on the ship to observe."

Of course, everyone wanted to observe the situation of the ship up close, so they followed Jiang Jun and boarded the ship.

However, as soon as they boarded the ship, they saw that the crew was not manipulating the mast. Instead, they were sneaking into the space below the deck and hurriedly carrying some kind of supplies below.

Quan Yi and others followed Jiang Jun's steps into the space leading below.

As soon as he got closer, a wave of scorching heat hit his face.

I saw that the space below the deck was completely different from the appearance.

Inside, more than half of the space is filled with metal forging equipment.

However, the crew members carried sacks in their hands and piled a huge amount of coal into a large boiler.

The crew members each performed their duties, and some crew members were responsible for shoveling the coal that was brought in into the combustion chamber of the boiler.

In just a moment, the heat from burning coal filled the entire space.

The burning coal carries heat and heats the large water storage device above.

The smoke accompanying the combustion is discharged out of the ship along the smoke exhaust pipe.

The thick iron pillar standing outside the ship is the smoke exhaust pipe connecting here.

With the addition of a large amount of coal, the heat from the combustion chamber quickly heated the water bucket above.

After a while, there was a sharp sound of steam.

Countless connected gears, driven by steam, slowly rotated. The complex and disorderly huge metal structure seemed to form a perfect unity at this moment.

Showing its special mechanical beauty to everyone.

Jiang Jun explained to everyone: "We do not yet have the experience and ability to perfectly reproduce the steel ship provided by the young master.

However, I found that there is no problem at all if the steam power device is taken out separately and installed on a wooden frame.

Therefore, our shipyard and forge worked together to complete this wooden steamship. "

When Quan heard Jiang Jun's explanation, he couldn't help but clapped his hands.

“This kind of adaptability is very rare for craftsmen.

As expected of Factory Owner Jiang, he actually thought of something that even I didn’t notice. "

When Jiang Jun heard Quan Yi's praise, he felt recognized.

However, Jiang Jun was reserved by nature, so he modestly said to Quan Yi: "No, the steam engine and the overall structure were completed by the young master and the blacksmith in the forge. I was just doing the assembly.

It is not worthy of such praise from the young master.

The steam engine starts to start, so everyone might as well move to the deck to feel more intuitively how the ship will move. "

Chapter 344 The strangeness of the factory director

above deck.

Izumi and the others could see that the smoke in the exhaust pipe was getting thicker and thicker, and the sound of gas coming from the ship under their feet was getting louder.

Huo Wu looked at the few crew members standing still on the deck with a surprised look on his face.

She asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, this ship doesn't even have sails. Does it have to rely on a steam engine to turn the oars on both sides?"

Quan Yi smiled mysteriously: "Don't be anxious, you will see it soon."

Jiang Jun walked to the center of the deck and held the round rudder.

After a while, three rapid whistling sounds came from the cabin.

Jiang Jun's eyes narrowed and he shouted loudly: "Sail!"

Then, he quickly turned the rudder.

At this time, the entire wooden boat shook slightly, and under Huo Wu's surprised eyes, the boat slowly left the shore.

"Wow! What is the principle of this?"

Huo Wu was shocked. She shook Quan Yi's arm repeatedly, hoping that Quan Yi would tell her the secret of this ship.

Quan Yi couldn't stand Huo Wu's coquettishness, so he led Huo Wu and others to the end of the deck.

He walked directly to the stern, pointed to the water at the stern of the ship, and said: "Look carefully here, and you can understand how the ship moves."

Huo Wu, Quan Yue, and Quan Li stretched out their bodies and looked at the sea. Under the clear water, they saw a rapidly rotating black shadow and waves of water.

"Could it be that a steam engine turns such a small device?"

Huo Wu said in disbelief.

No wonder Huo Wu was surprised, because there was a rotating metal blade connected to the stern of the boat.

Moreover, this device is too small compared to the entire ship. From an intuitive perspective, it is difficult to imagine that such a small device can push a huge ship forward.

Quan Yi explained: “This thing is called a propeller.

It is a device that can turn the water flow during the rotation process and push the ship forward.

The power of the steam engine turns the propeller, which in turn propels the ship forward.

This is how steamships move forward. "

Quanyue didn't look surprised, but Quanli looked at the propeller at the stern of the ship with a surprised expression.

Driven by the propeller, the ship quickly rushed out of the channel of the shipyard.

As time goes by, the propeller rotates faster and faster.

At this moment, the weather was sunny and there was no wind on the sea. However, everyone standing on the deck could feel the breeze brought by the speed blowing on their faces.

"So fast!"

Huo Wu has been on a sea-going ship and has his own understanding of the speed of sea-going ships.

Generally, when there is no wind, the speed of a seagoing ship is almost zero.

However, now, the sea ship they were on was rushing towards the vast sea at an extremely fast speed from the moment it set sail.

Quan Yi also felt the breeze and calculated the speed of the steam ship.

The average speed of a general sailing boat is about ten knots, which is roughly 18 kilometers per hour.

The speed of this steam ship has already doubled that of a sailing ship.

Reaching twenty knots, which is a speed of thirty-six kilometers per hour.

Don't look at the difference of only a dozen kilometers, if you multiply it by time.

The gap between the two will become wider and wider.

Moreover, a sailboat will be seriously affected by the weather. Within the same period of time, the sailboat can sail at its optimal speed very rarely.

In contrast, steam ships must have enough fuel to maintain a stable speed for a long time.

At this point, there will be a huge gap between the two types of ships.

What's more, this is not the limit of this ship.

The boiler in the cabin has just heated up and has not yet reached its limit speed.

You must know that the steam engine is forged from the soul-guided metal refined by Quan Yi himself.

Due to the addition of the extraordinary element of soul power.
