Chapter 343 Wooden hull, steam power

While they were talking, everyone had already walked from the door to the deepest part of the shipyard.

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.

<divclass="contentadv">"Xiao Wu, don't just take everything at face value. This ship is not as simple as it seems."

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. "
