I saw Zhang Yuchu fixing the iron bar, and then started to ignite the fire under the steam engine. The already warm water began to boil immediately, and then I saw the steam engine's eyes popping up, and The front piston also began to move back and forth. It didn't look very powerful, but when Zhang Yuchu handed over the fixed iron bar, the iron bar was crushed without any struggle, and the incision as thick as a thumb was still clearly visible. . "What!" Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu and others all stared wide-eyed. What is this? How can it have such great power? Even if it is a sharp knife, it is impossible to cut off the iron bar so neatly. It takes a strong man to do it. "Hmph, now you still dare to say that this is a pile of scrap copper and iron?" Zhang Yuchu snorted coldly. Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong and others looked at each other, obviously they still couldn't believe what just happened. "Yezi, what's going on?" Zhang Fu leaned into Hu Ye's ear. Usually at this time, Hu Ye always knew the answer. "Brother, this is the so-called steam engine. Although it doesn't look very good, once the water inside boils, the power it generates is enough to open up the world. Otherwise, why do you think the iron ships outside have no masts?" Hu Ye Hehehe smiled. "Is there no mast because of this steam engine? Are you saying that this thing is used to drive the iron ship outside?" Zhang Fu looked at Hu Ye in surprise. In his impression, if the ship wanted to move, it would It must be driven by wind or manpower. A ship without a mast is basically immobile, not to mention the ship outside which is much heavier than an ordinary ship. "Not to mention a boat, even the entire city of Nanjing, as long as you give me enough iron, I can move it away!" Zhang Yuchu said proudly. If he had said that just now, Zhu Yong might have moved him away. One punch struck down. Who dares to be arrogant in front of him? But having learned the lesson just now, Zhu Yong no longer dares to be presumptuous. Maybe this steam engine is really so powerful. "Tianshi, big words are big words. It's better for us to be more realistic. This is just a sample. How long will it take to make the finished product? How long will it take to install it on the boat outside?" Hu Ye patted the excited Zhang Yuchu, asked loudly. "It won't be long before the five alchemy furnaces in the academy are refining metal day and night. And this is a familiar road. In my opinion, within a month, the iron ship outside will be able to cross the sea!" Zhang Yuchu patted his chest and said. "Okay, now there are less than two years left before the five-year agreement between me and the emperor. When Zheng San and the others come back, they will be in full swing. It won't be long before our Ming Dynasty becomes famous all over the world!" Hu Ye was overjoyed after hearing this. As long as there were iron ships, the Ming Dynasty's fleet could dominate the world. Coupled with the special forces on the road, it is not difficult to capture cities and territories! Zhang Yuchu was very excited because the successful development of the steam engine meant that his son would not have to die. And he will also become the chief engineer of the first iron ship. Perhaps all future iron ships will ask him to supervise the construction. But Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong were very disappointed. Because they were ridiculed by an old man today, and they didn't have the strength to fight back for a long time. "I said Yezi, since you know that thing is so powerful, why don't you help us, but you stand there and watch our jokes!" Zhang Fu slapped Hu Ye on the shoulder, almost dislocating Hu Ye's shoulder. . "Brother, I have a conscience, how did I know that the old man would humiliate you like this? If I had known earlier, I would have helped you!" Hu Ye rubbed his shoulders and said aggrievedly. But those dudes looked at Hu Ye with contempt, obviously they didn't believe Hu Ye's sophistry. "Okay, okay, it's not anyone else who is laughing at us, it's us brothers." Zhu Yong seemed to be shameless, and suddenly rushed to Hu Ye's side, and suddenly said to Hu Ye, "Yezi, why did you Was it because the shipbuilding skills were revealed to Beian Sanjin because Tianshi must have developed the steam engine? In this case, after Beian Sanjin returned, he would ask the Japanese to build a large number of large wooden ships, so that they would think that they Our fleet can sail across the sea, but when they see our invincible fleet, they will want to smash Bean Sanjin into thousands of pieces. I can't wait to see the Japanese destroy Bean Sanjin. It was a scene of being chopped into pieces!" After Zhu Yong said it, Li Tai, Liu Fu and others came to their senses. They said that Hu Ye was not a fool, how could he reveal the military secrets of the Ming Dynasty to the enemy! "That's it!" Jinda also suddenly realized, no wonderHu Ye ignored the warnings of several of them and just told Bean Sanjin about the entire shipbuilding technique. Beian Sanjin must have gone back and copied the entire shipbuilding blueprint by now. He must be returning to China soon. Let Ashikaga Yoshimochi build this kind of big ship quickly, and then there will be no need to fear the Ming Dynasty's army. "Hey, if you know this kind of thing, don't tell it." Hu Ye also smiled. This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, and it can be said that he has done it easily. Although the outcome of the war between Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Kuramiya Sanihito is not yet known, with Beian Mikan's cleverness, he definitely knows who should give this secret to when he returns home. However, whether it is handed over to Kuramiya Minoru or Ashikaga Yoshimichi, as long as they get the blueprints taken back by Beian Sanjin, they will definitely be overjoyed and will definitely rush to build a big ship day and night. "But when they saw the Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet, they probably even wanted to die. "Yezi, you are getting worse and worse." Li Tai slapped Hu Ye on the shoulder and said with a sinister smile. "Hehe, there is no husband without poison." Hu Ye chuckled. He had a deep understanding of this sentence. Whether it was Yun Zichen before or Harry Sultan not long ago, no one was easy to mess with. In their view, the lives of soldiers are not lives at all, but just tools for gambling. If it were not for various accidents, their bets would have been successful. However, the endings were all tragic. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed in vain, and their bets all ended in failure. "By the way, how is your grandfather? Do you agree with what you said?" Hu Ye suddenly said to Li Tai. This guy had fallen in love with a girl from a brothel before. If Li Yangming hadn't objected, he would have taken the initiative and married the girl home.
