I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan remembers very clearly that he once saw in the materials that there were already sailing fleets in the Shang Dynasty, so at least there have been sailing ships since the Shang Dynasty.

But since there are already sails as the driving force, why are they useless at Moshi?

After hearing this, Mo Shi explained: "The sails are too restrictive, and the weight of the mast is too heavy. The ship is not stable enough. If the sail is added, the danger of the ship capsizing becomes even greater."

Liu Tan said: "How about designing according to my blueprint?"

Mo Shi hesitated for a while and said, "You can go back and try."

Liu Tan waved his hand: "Go."

Mo Shi suppressed his eagerness and resigned, and returned to their yard as fast as he could.

As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by other disciples of the Mo family and asked, "Elder brother, what does Your Highness say?"

Mo Shi smiled slightly: "His Highness gave me a blueprint."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and many of them didn't understand what he meant, but there were those who responded quickly and immediately asked, "Your Highness has already designed a new ship?"

Mo Shi nodded: "You can say that."

Someone suddenly said unhappy: "Since your Highness already has an idea, why did you let us come? Is this playing us?"

Mo Shi's expression turned cold immediately: "Mo Jiu, don't talk nonsense!"

Mojiu was a little unconvinced but didn't say anything.

Mo Shi looked around and sighed, "If you really think that way, you are so stupid. Think about it, what does it mean that His Highness draws the picture himself? It means that he attaches importance to this matter. I thought he just found a way." Let me teach you some lessons, now it seems that His Highness still wants to reuse us, otherwise why bother?"

Mo Jiu looked at him with some puzzlement: "But... if that's the case, why didn't you give us the blueprint from the beginning?"

Mo Shi pondered for a while and said: "In my opinion, there are two possibilities. The first is that His Highness wants to test our abilities. If we can meet his requirements, he will take out this blueprint. The second is that, Your Highness is not sure how the current ship is made!"

Mo Jiu was startled: "The first one is fine, but the second one...why does senior brother guess like this?"

Mo Shi didn't say anything, but carefully took out the blueprint, put it on the case table and unfolded it, "All of you have a look, see if you have any ideas."

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but they still looked at it carefully.

Their levels are different, but they see the problem of this ship with the same mind.

"This boat... looks pretty nice, but how do I get there?"

"That's right, His Highness's design is flawed. It seems that he really doesn't know how to design?"

Before Mo Shi could speak, Mo Jiu squatted there and said seriously: "No, if it's really not possible, it's impossible to make it so perfect in every aspect. I've never seen such a perfect boat."

Someone laughed and said, "Mo Jiu, you were dissatisfied with His Highness just now, why are you talking to him again now?"

Mo Jiu looked up at the man and said, "When did I become dissatisfied with Your Highness? I just don't understand why His Highness didn't show this blueprint in the first place, but now it seems... this blueprint, I'm afraid we will Don't do anything, look at the design of these parts for yourself, who can say that it can compare to the exquisiteness drawn by His Highness?"

After he said this, everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything else. Mojiu was right. Regardless of other things, these parts are indeed very exquisite in design.

Some people were not convinced and said: "No matter how beautiful it is, it can only be a decoration. If you really want to make it according to this ship, you can't drive it."

"But why did His Highness design it like this?" Someone was very puzzled: "Your Highness also said that he wanted to take a boat to take His Majesty to the Yellow River. How to drive this boat?"

At this time, Mo Shi said slowly: "Have you ever thought that the driving method of this ship may be different from what we thought?"

When everyone looked at Mo Shi, they didn't understand what he meant for a while.

Mo Shi sat down slowly and asked: "Do you still remember the rumors about His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory in Chang'an? No, not only in Chang'an, but also in the Northern Territory. Before we came to Shuofang City, we first took the entire I have gone around the northern border country, do you still remember how the people called the king of the northern border?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Mo Jiuchi questioned, "Elder brother, what are you talking about...the King of the Northern Realm they said is a fairy descending to earth?"

Mo Shi nodded slowly, and Mo Jiu smiled and said, "How is this possible, senior brother, that's why the common people don't understand the mystery of mechanism techniques, that's why they think His Royal Highness the King of the North is mysterious, and it's not like we don't know ..."

"You know, you understand, so what? Can you produce something like this?" Mo Shi resolutely asked.

Mojiu choked, and muttered: "Don't say it's me, even the master can't get it out."

Mo Shi nodded: "That's right, Master can't do it either, doesn't that explain anything?"

He looked at the Northland plow in the yard and the harvester he bought with great difficulty and said: "These things look ordinary, but you can think of that aspect in itself is already very powerful, but the master once said before that His Royal Highness the King of the North The things that come out seem to be the result of a lot of tempering, but if you want to trace the source, you can't find a shadow at all, as if those things just appeared out of thin air."

Mo Jiu looked down at the blueprint thoughtfully: "It's like this ship."

Mo Shi nodded seriously: "What do you think, what if this ship is not driven by manpower or animal power, but by immortal magic?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and they thought about the fairy arts they knew, and then looked at the boat. Thinking about it this way...it seems to be true.

Immortal magic and fairy magic can make people fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Even the frame of the fairy can fly through the clouds. This boat seems to be driven by fairy magic.

Mo Jiu swallowed his saliva: "This... made us guess His Highness's identity so easily, did His Highness do it on purpose?"

Mo Shi shook his head: "It shouldn't be. When I asked a question, His Highness was obviously a little surprised, and then his expression seemed to have accidentally overlooked something."

Mo Jiu frowned: "His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is so thoughtful, how could he be so careless?"

Mo Shi looked at the drawing and said, "Perhaps... this kind of thing is too common for His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm, so common that you don't need to care about it."

Everyone gasped suddenly, what seemed to them exquisite and incomparable, turned out to be something that can be easily seen in the fairy world?

However, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed the case.

Mo Jiu couldn't help being fascinated for a moment: "I don't know what the fairy world looks like, and the things that are taken out casually are so exquisite."

Mo Shi reached out and patted him on the head and said, "Don't think about it for now. His Highness obviously missed this thing when he wanted to build a ship. Although the blueprints have been given to us now, our advantage is that this ship still needs to be transformed into a human." It’s better to use only the ones that are suitable for the space, than the blueprints that the public loser gets with almost no room for improvement.”

When everyone heard this, it was also the same reasoning. If there is a deficiency, then there is room for them to develop, and this can reflect their ability.

So a group of people cheered up again and began to chatter about their thoughts.

Liu Tan didn't know that the disciples of the Mohist school had already gossip about his origin, and they also swore that he was a fairy descended to earth.

But even if he knew, there seemed to be nothing he could do.

Many people from Chang'an to the northern border country have passed it on like this, what can he do?He is also very desperate.

There is no way to explain it, otherwise what about the things he took out?

A person who can make achievements in one aspect is already considered a talent, and one who can create top-notch things is a genius. Now that he has dabbled in too many places, and he is young, there is no way to explain it. He can only acquiesce.

Liu Tan's current focus is on preparing for the New Year on the one hand, and the candidates for the Governor's Mansion and the Captain's Mansion on the other hand.

These two places are different from county guards, they must be experienced generals.

However, the Northern Kingdom lacks experienced talents in any aspect.

He can be promoted as a civil servant, as long as he does not give too much power, it will not affect too much, but the leader of the army can't, not to mention the reaction to real danger, it is not easy to convince the public.

Liu Tan pondered for a while, then turned around and called Wei Deng and Li Ling to ask, "Do you want to preside over the Captain's Mansion?"

Wei Deng and Li Ling's eyes widened immediately. After they looked at each other, Wei Deng hesitated and said, "I'm afraid we're not old enough."

Liu Tan chuckled: "When Jing Huanhou was named the champion, no one said he was not old enough."

Li Ling was a little embarrassed: "How can we compare with the champion Hou?"

The champion is the dream of many teenagers.

Liu Tan said: "It's not too bad and it won't be too bad. Since I let you go, it means you can. Besides, you didn't need to do too much in the past. Guard the captain's mansion and help each other. The most important thing is It is enough to listen to the words of the Protectorate."

Wei Deng asked a little foolishly: "Listen to what the Governor's Mansion says? Then...do you want to listen to His Highness or the Governor's Mansion?"

Liu Tanding looked at him, Li Ling couldn't help but gave him an elbow and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Don't the Protectorate also listen to His Highness?"

Wei Deng thought about it too, if his Highness didn't listen to him, he would definitely not let that person become the captain of the Protectorate.

He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Thanks to His Highness, I definitely want to go..."

Liu Tan nodded: "Actually, I didn't just let you go to promote you. You may bring recruits there. You can train those soldiers as you would train the elite regiment. I want all the soldiers in the three prefectures to follow suit." Follow the standards of the elite regiment, understand?"

Wei Deng and Li Ling's eyes lit up immediately. You must know that even if there are fewer people in the Captain's Mansion, there will be no less than a thousand people, which means that they alone lead an entire elite group!

Seeing their expressions, Liu Tan knew that the matter was settled, and Wei Deng couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, then... who will be the captain of the Protectorate's Mansion?"

Liu Tan lowered his eyes and pondered for a while and said, "Let your brother go."
