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

"Huh? Something's wrong..."

Brother Zheng looked at this huge ship, and suddenly doubts appeared in his heart.

"What's the matter father-in-law?"

Song Yuan asked with a smile.

"Song Yuan, how did you use iron to make the bottom of your ship?"

"Won't this sink into the water?"

Brother Zheng asked in a daze.

When Li Si and Meng Tian saw this scene, they were also a little dazed.

It is really unheard of to use iron to build the bottom of a boat.

Iron is known to sink to the bottom of water.

This ship made of iron, I am afraid that when it encounters water, it will turn back and sink directly, right?

"Hahaha, don't worry, my iron boat will not sink."

Song Yuan patted his chest and said confidently.

How could the sailing ship built by the modern watertight cabin technology he used sink?

You know, the current submarines and ships are all made of metal.

Why don't these ships sink?

This is because of the watertight cabin!

A sealed iron warehouse is built at the bottom of the big ship. Because it contains a lot of air, it is like a water bottle, so it can float on the water.

"This, Song Yuan, is it true?"

Suspicion flickered in Brother Zheng's eyes.

After all, when he went out to sea, all of his boats were made of wood.

I've never heard of anyone making iron ships!

Li Si and Meng Tian also looked at Song Yuan suspiciously.

Obviously, the two of them didn't believe what Song Yuan said.

"Just wait and see, the boat I built will not sink even if it sails for a hundred years!"

Song Yuan said with a smile.

"Uh~~"

The three of them looked at each other, swallowing their saliva involuntarily.

It's not that they don't believe Song Yuan's words, but that they think it's incredible!

How can a big iron ship not sink?

……

Weishui River is not far from Songjiazhuang.

An hour later, the sailing ship arrived at Weishui.

"Put the boat in the water."

Song Yuan waved his hand lightly and gave an order.

Brother Zheng, Li Si, and Meng Tian all opened their eyes wide, staring straight at the big iron boat.

They were thinking, what if the ship sinks later?

Wouldn't that hit Song Yuan too much?

How about just pretending not to see it and save Song Yuan some face?

Just when they were cranky.

"Boom~~"

A loud bang.

The ship was pushed into the river,

In the next second, something that surprised Brother Zheng happened.

I saw that a heavy iron boat was plunged into the river, sank slightly, and then, the boat floated on the water, shaking slightly from side to side like duckweed.

There is no sign of sinking at all!

"This?!"

Brother Zheng was dumbfounded, his eyes were round and full of disbelief. .

Chapter 239

At this moment, Brother Zheng was filled with shock. This iron ship was actually floating on the water like this!

How can this be? !

This is iron!

And it's so heavy!

It didn't sink into the water.

"Hoohoo~~"

Brother Zheng took a long breath, and the surprise in his heart could not subside for a long time.

At the same time, Li Si and Meng Tian were also full of shocked expressions.

"This, this iron boat is amazing, it actually floated on the water!"

Li Si took a deep breath, his eyes filled with wonder.

"Song Yuan is really comparable to a fairy, and this method is already close to the fairy method."

Li Si muttered to himself, and a storm arose in his heart.

"Yeah, Song Yuan is so powerful that he can make such a heavy iron boat float on the water without sinking."

Meng Tian also nodded, his tone full of admiration and worship.

Suddenly, Meng Tian thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If we can sail this kind of iron ship, then our navy will not have to fear the attack of wind and waves, and the attack of big fish?"

Brother Zheng also blushed slightly, and said excitedly: "That's right, if my Daqin's navy can go out to sea in this kind of iron boat, it can also be without fear of the opponent's weapon attack! This is an iron boat, and the iron is so thick. No bow, crossbow or spear can penetrate this big ship!"

"Your Majesty, this iron ship is not afraid of fire! No matter how the enemy attacks, it cannot be breached. It can be called a moving city wall!"

Li Si also added excitedly.

"Hahaha, it's extremely extreme! This iron boat can be called a divine weapon!"

Zheng Ge repeatedly nodded in praise. He knew very well that this kind of large iron ship was of great significance to both military and civilian use.

If it is used among the people, it can also be used to transport food and various materials.

This large ship has such a wide area, and it can carry at least dozens of tons of supplies at a time, which can be called a sharp weapon for transportation!Almost comparable to a small steam train.

"Father-in-law, come up quickly, I'm ready for a trial voyage."

Song Yuan stood on the deck of the big ship, waved and said with a smile.

He ordered people to put down a long ladder directly.

"Okay, let's go up here."

Brother Zheng nodded and walked up the stairs to the deck.

Standing on the towering ship, Brother Zheng overlooked the wide Weishui River, his mind fluttering for a while.

A cool river breeze blew in front of him, blowing off Brother Zheng's dragon robe, making him look very energetic.

"Hahaha, Song Yuan, order someone to row the boat, I want to see how fast your sailing boat is?"

Zheng Ge said with a smile, his tone full of expectation.

"boating?"

Hearing this, Song Yuan shook his head with a smile, and said, "Father-in-law, there is no need to row the boat, my boat can move by itself!~"

"What, it can move by itself?"

Brother Zheng was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right. It's a steam ship. It works on the same principle as a steam train. You only need to put in coal to burn water vapor to drive the propeller. The rotation of the propeller can propel the ship forward!"

Song Yuan simply explained the principle.

Brother Zheng understood a little bit because he had seen a steam train before. He nodded and said, "I see."

"Okay, I'm going to sail! Father-in-law, stand firm."

Song Yuan exhorted, then looked back at Song Yuanlong, and said, "Let's get started!"

"Yes, Master!"

Song Yuanlong nodded, and immediately ran into the big boat.

After a while...

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a violent roar, and thick smoke billowed from the chimney at the top.

The coal is burning, producing a large amount of water vapor, which drives the propeller at the bottom.

The whole big ship began to move forward slowly.

"It's moving, the big ship is moving forward!"

Li Si looked at the receding river below, with surprise on his face.

Holding on to the fence with both hands, Brother Zheng felt the cool wind constantly blowing in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect this big iron boat to sail on the Weishui River!"

Zheng Ge said with a smile.

"Father-in-law, this is not the fastest speed, let me show you the speedboat."

Song Yuan said.

"Oh? Can you sail faster?"

Brother Zheng was surprised when he heard Song Yuan's words.

"good."

Song Yuan laughed, and then shouted towards the cab: "Increase the horsepower and go at full speed!"

Not long after Song Yuan's words fell, countless coal mines were thrown into the furnace.

"Boom!"

The propeller turned rapidly, like a pear blossom in a rainstorm, as fast as lightning.

The whole big iron boat moved swiftly across the river, like a beast running on the grassland.

The river water splashed out to both sides, the entire river surface was split in half by the big boat, and a long white spray flowed out in the middle.

The speed of the big ship has directly increased to [-] kilometers per hour!

????????? Ask for flowers???????

Comparable to a galloping wild horse.

"This, this speed is so fast!"

"Faster than a steam train!"

Brother Zheng was shocked when he saw the shadows of trees retreating rapidly on both sides.
