Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

Dozens of dancers are dancing gorgeously on the ground.

Under the bright lights, Brother Zheng and the officials could clearly see every movement of the dancers.

When using oil lamps in the past, the light was so dim that it was impossible to see things ten meters away, especially after dark.

But now with the light bulb, everything is different.

The ministers were surprised to find that the light bulb can illuminate a distance of tens of meters. Within this range, everything can be seen clearly. If you can install the light in your home, it will definitely make your home as bright as day , it is much more convenient to do anything at night.

Thinking of this, the ministers were all excited.

Among them, a minister couldn't help but walked out of the queue and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder if we can install an electric light in our house?"

Brother Zheng took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "Don't worry, in a few days, Song Yuan will pull the wires in Xianyang City, and by then, everyone's homes will be able to install electric lights!"

"This, this is great, thank you Your Majesty!"

When the ministers heard that electric lights could also be installed in their homes, they were all excited, and they all bowed to Brother Zheng.

"Haha, you don't need to thank me, if you want to thank me, you can thank Song Yuan."

Brother Zheng touched his big belly and said with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, did His Royal Highness King Qi not attend today's banquet?"

At this time, the ministers looked around and did not see Song Yuan's figure, so they couldn't help asking.

Brother Zheng shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Song Yuan is working on a big event, so he has no time to attend the banquet."

When the ministers heard this, curiosity welled up in their hearts.

Song Yuan is doing something big?

What's the big deal?

……

at the same time.

Songjiazhuang.

In a huge workshop, Song Yuan is directing a group of craftsmen to manufacture a huge sailing ship.

The shipbuilding technology of the Qin Dynasty was very backward, and there were almost no ships capable of sailing.

Moreover, ships also use artificial paddles, which cannot sail far to the sea at all.

Song Yuan got a design drawing from the system and planned to build a steam ship capable of long-distance voyages.

Equipped with the most advanced propeller, sail and compass systems.

In addition, the most important thing is that the entire ship is made of steel, which can completely withstand the erosion of sea water, as well as strong winds and waves.

Song Yuan believes that as long as such a ship is built, Daqin will rule the entire ocean and become the most powerful overlord on the ocean!

Even, it can directly start the era of great navigation.

"Master, it's already eight o'clock in the evening, you should go back and rest."

At this time, Song Yuanlong came up and said to Song Yuan with a concerned face.

"¨" Well, let the artisans get off work too, rest early, recharge their energy, and continue manufacturing tomorrow morning."

Song Yuan nodded.

He adopted an eight-hour work system in Songjiazhuang, and now it is overtime.

"it is good."

Song Yuanlong nodded, and then told all the craftsmen to go home and rest after get off work.

Song Yuan also walked home.

At the door of the house, he saw Ying Shiman hugging Song Ziyi and looking at him with resentment.

Song Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

For the past three months, he has been busy building power plants and pulling wires, completely ignoring Ying Shiman and Song Ziyi.

I just finished working on the electric lights, and then devoted myself to the manufacture of sailing ships without stopping.

"Hmph, Mrs., it's been three months, you come home so late every day, why don't you care about me and Ziyi?"

Ying Shiman pursed her lips with an angry look on her face.

"I'm sorry Manman, can I make it up to you?"

　(Zhao Hao) Song Yuan smiled helplessly, walked over quickly, put his arm around Ying Shiman's shoulders, and comforted him attentively.

"Oh, it stinks, my body is covered in sweat."

Ying Shiman pinched her upturned little nose, and gently patted Song Yuan's shoulder with her white and tender hands.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower."

Song Yuan smiled and quickly walked into the bathroom.

"Sir, just wait."

At this time, Ying Shiman suddenly called out.

"what happened?"

Song Yuan turned his head and smiled.

"How can you wash the stains all over your body by yourself? I, let me wash it for you."

Ying Shiman's pretty face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were rippling.

Song Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

He laughed and said, "Then thank you Manman, come quickly!"

"OK."

Ying Shiman nodded shyly, then put Song Ziyi in the cradle, and then she walked slowly towards Song Yuan.

.......

Chapter 238

"Manman, I will build a big boat for you. When the time comes, we will go out to sea along the Weishui River to see the scenery by the sea. What do you think?"

Song Yuan asked with a smile.

"OK!"

Ying Shiman nodded, her eyes shone brightly, "Master, you go, I'm waiting for you."

"Haha, Manman, I can build a sailing ship in ten days, just wait."

Song Yuan stroked Ying Shiman's beautiful hair, then left the room and entered the craftsman's workshop to continue making the big boat.

In the workshop, hundreds of craftsmen are manufacturing watertight cabins, propellers, and compass systems according to Song Yuan's design.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The manufacturing progress of the big ship is very fast.

Perfect day by day.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

This morning.

Brother Zheng held the court meeting as usual.

Discuss the implementation of the latest five-year plan.

After the court meeting, Brother Zheng asked Meng Tian and Li Si to stay.

"Meng Tian, ​​how is the naval training going?"

Brother Zheng asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after a month of training, I have trained tens of thousands of soldiers who are proficient in sea navigation. If I continue to train, there will be even better navies."

Meng Tian replied seriously.

Brother Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, very good, continue training, I want to train a batch of Daqin navy capable of fighting at sea as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Meng Tian replied with a serious face.

"Li Si, how is the progress of Song Yuan's sailing ship?"

Brother Zheng looked at Li Si who was on the side.

"Return to Your Majesty, Song Yuan's sailing boat is about to be completed, I heard that he will test the sailing boat on the Weishui River today."

Lis said.

"What, test sailing today?!"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng stood up from his seat suddenly, his eyes sparkling brightly.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

Brother Zheng's face was flushed red, and he was faintly excited and looking forward to it.

He really wanted to see how powerful the sailing ship made by Song Yuan was.

Li Si also said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to delay, we can just go and check it now."

Meng Tian was also a little curious, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I want to see it too."

Brother Zheng nodded and said, "You guys go and have a look with me."

After all, Brother Zheng, Li Si, and Meng Tian couldn't wait to leave the palace, and took the steam train to Songjiazhuang.

Songjiazhuang.

Song Yuan didn't know that Brother Zheng and others were rushing over. He commanded everyone to open the door of the workshop, preparing to push this huge and heavy sailing ship out of the Weishui River.

"Be careful and put the log on the ground."

"The pulley is hoisted up to the stomach of the hull so that the big ship can be pushed."

Song Yuan stood aside and directed the craftsmen to use a combination of logs and pulleys to transport the large ship.

"Song Yuan!"

As soon as Zheng Ge and the others arrived at Songjiazhuang, they saw that huge sailing ship slowly rolling on the land.

For a moment, Brother Zheng was a little confused.

How could such a huge and heavy seagoing ship move by itself?

Brother Zheng took a closer look and found that there were pulleys hanging above the big boat, and there were rolling logs below.

"What is this thing that can drive such a large ship?"

Brother Zheng had a look of surprise on his face.

"Father-in-law, are you here?"

Song Yuan greeted Brother Zheng and the others with a smile.

Brother Zheng walked towards Song Yuan and said, "Song Yuan, what method are you using? How can you push this ship without using any horses or oxen?"

"Oh, I use a pulley block, very simple lever principle."

Song Yuan smiled slightly. In later generations of cars, bicycles, etc., many of these pulley blocks were used, saving time and effort.

He simply explained to Brother Zheng to stay away, and Brother Zheng was a little confused.

He didn't understand, but seeing Song Yuan being able to use this block of pulleys to propel such a huge ship, he couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.

Li Si and Meng Tian looked at each other, both in amazement.

This guy Song Yuan is so clever that he was able to use this method to transport the big ship to the Weishui River.

If cattle and horses were used, it is estimated that a hundred livestock would not be able to drag such a huge ship.
