From the day he entered the City of Power, Yu Cong never left again. In addition to locking himself in the house and writing and painting every day, he just grabbed the pilots who made steam engines to discuss. Xu Lai was naturally his focus. The quarrels never stopped. After every quarrel, he would never go into seclusion again. The craftsmen who quarreled with him would also get some inspiration from these quarrels and start a new round of transformation.

Later, Xu Lai was so upset that he simply handed over the entire No. 2 prototype and a complete set of personnel to Yu Cong, allowing Yu Cong to fiddle with it.

What Yu Cong thought about was naturally the use of steam engines on warships, and Xu Lai certainly could not only consider this point. There are more than one master like Yu Cong in the City of Power or the Tiangong Bureau.

When Qin Feng sent someone to lift Yu Cong from the City of Power to him, a whole month had passed. Yu Cong, who was standing in front of Qin Feng, had lost weight a lot, his hair and beard grew together, and his face looked much smaller. However, his eyes were bright and shiny. Because he had lost weight, these eyes looked particularly big.

Qin Feng was very satisfied with the current state of his shipbuilding master. It seemed that the high-ranking official and generous salary had not wiped out the great craftsmanship in Yu Cong's heart, and this was the person Qin Feng really needed.

"A great fourth-rank official came to Beijing with the order and came to Jin to see him for a month. It's really rare. Aren't you afraid that I will be annoyed?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Yu Cong tidied up his official robe and bowed deeply to Qin Feng: "I know that Your Majesty is a wise king, how could he blame his subordinates because of these things? And the subordinates were really happy to see the hunt and could not hold back. They felt that every moment of delay was a crime."

Qin Feng laughed loudly: "You are so flattering. Even if I feel angry, I may have to swallow it. However, the smell on you is too strong. You haven't taken a shower for a month, right?"

"Your Majesty is joking. I just took a shower ten days ago." Yu Cong smiled and raised his sleeves, leaned over to his nose and smelled it: "Is it smelly? It's not smelly! Eunuch Le also asked me to wash and dress up before coming to see Your Majesty again. How long has it been delayed."

Qin Feng shook his head: "Mr. Le asked you to come like this?"

"I told Mr. Le that although Your Majesty is noble, he is not delicate at all. I have never eaten any kind of bitterness and have never seen anyone? I am a little sloppy and dirty. How could Your Majesty be strangers?" Yu Cong said seriously: "The key is not to waste time. After seeing Your Majesty, I have to rush back immediately. As I ran over, I thought of a key point and was thinking about going back to discuss with other people to see if I could improve a little more."

Qin Feng nodded and sighed: "No wonder Mr. Le asked you to see me like this. If Mr. Le insisted on it again, wouldn't he say that I was so delicate and forgot my roots?"

"I have no such intention." Yu Cong explained hurriedly.

"It was Wuxin's words that forced Mr. Le to let you come to me like this!" Qin Feng laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, is it really smelly?" Yu Cong sniffed himself again.

"Forget it, I've been in the abalone for a long time but I don't smell the stench. I'm in the orchid room for a long time and I don't know the fragrance for a long time. Of course, you can't feel it yourself, Mr. Le!" Qin Feng looked at Mr. Le who had been holding back his smile.

"I'm here."

"Take this guy up first and rub it for a while before bringing him here." Qin Feng pointed at Yu Cong and said.

Eunuch Le walked over with a smile, grabbed Yu Cong's wrist and gently walked out with him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, time is precious. I will report to Your Majesty immediately and then go back. It will not delay Your Majesty's time." Yu Cong was still shouting when he was dragged out.

"Come and see me after washing it." Qin Feng said loudly.

Yu Cong's smell was really big. Seeing that he had left, Qin Feng stood up, opened the window, and let the breeze outside take away the sour smell on this guy's body. I don't know how Mr. Le could endure the same carriage as him and walked so far.

The moment he opened the window, Qin Feng suddenly felt that he had become really delicate. He thought about the ice and snow that he fell asleep when he was tired, and even if he had a pile of shit under him, he didn't care at all. It turns out that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

He walked to the chair where Yu Cong was sitting just now, and there was a large stack of files on the small desk next to him. He picked it up and flipped through it. There were some designs about ships. Qin Feng couldn't understand most of the drawings at all, but he still saw something familiar to him, paddle wheel.

The paddle wheel steam engine, in Qin Feng's image, seems to be the first steamship that appeared. It seems that no matter which world or that era, those who are doing scientific research who walk in front of ordinary people, always have similar ideas in their minds.

After turning a few pages back, Qin Feng was stunned.

Because he saw the propeller.

Qin Feng once thought that it would be great if Yu Cong thought of using paddle wheel on the ship. He was still preparing to mention his master shipbuilder at the right time and win the other party's praise again, but now it seems that he has underestimated the wisdom of people of this era.

The thing that looks like a machine in front must be a steam engine. A long connecting rod poked out from the steam engine, and the one connected behind it was a huge spiral award.

Qin Feng confirmed that he was not wrong with that look and look.

I really don’t know how this person’s head grows! Qin Feng sighed that if his soul had not come from another world, he would definitely not be as smart as theirs.

Qin Feng sighed and returned to his case with the stack of files. He looked carefully one by one. Most of the files were related to paddle wheels, but after that, he didn't know what inspiration he was, and the one who pushed the ship forward became a propeller.

When Yu Cong appeared in front of Qin Feng again, his whole body had completely changed. Eunuch Le was also good at taking a bath. After Yu Cong took a bath, he actually found a set of fourth-grade official uniforms with a figure of Yu Cong. His beard and hair were also neatly repaired at this time. When he stood in front of Qin Feng, his whole body was fragrant. His skin was slightly red. It seemed that the person who took Yu Cong had worked a lot of effort.

"This is the majesty of a fourth-rank official!" Qin Feng clapped and praised.

Yu Cong was so stuttering that he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it. He was really a little difficult to say, because the two palace maids were bathing him. During the whole process, this fourth-rank official was so nervous that he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

Although he is a fourth-rank senior, he is still a craftsman in his heart.

Qin Feng naturally didn't know about Eunuch Le's prank. Eunuch Le endured the sour smell on Yu Cong's body and walked so far, and finally found an opportunity to take revenge. He was happy at this moment.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Qin Feng raised the two pictures drawn by Yu Cong, one of which was a paddle wheel and the other one was a propeller.

"Your Majesty, these are two ways I have come up with to use steam engines to push the warships." Yu Cong walked to Qin Feng's case and said.

"Two? Then which one do you think is better?" Qin Feng asked deliberately.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, what I thought of was this kind of paddle wheel. I asked the carpenter to make several such models of paddle wheels in the pond and tried to use them. I found that they were not good, they were too clumsy. The steering, movement, and speed were too slow. It was okay to use it as an ordinary merchant ship, but it was impossible to use him to equip warships."

"So you came up with this thing?" Qin Feng put down the paddle wheel drawings and raised the propeller one by one.

"Yes, I thought hard, and one day I saw the craftsmen of the City of Power drilling rocks with steam power. Their group heard that they were developing for mining, so I wondered if I could design something to be placed at the tail of the ship, and rotate at high speed like steel drill to push the warship. I tried many methods and finally found that the windmill-like tool designed in this way had the best effect. I also asked the carpenter to make several such models of ships and put them in the water. The effect was much better than paddle wheels. I wonder which one Your Majesty likes more?" Yu Cong said.

"Is this a thing necessary?" Qin Feng laughed: "Of course it's this one. This thing will be called a propeller in the future."

"Propeller?" Yu Cong tilted his head and thought for a while, "Your Majesty is indeed amazing, and this name is just as true."

"It's not that I'm powerful, it's that you are powerful." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "You know why you should stop the construction of the Da Chu?"

"I understand. The moment I saw the steam engine, I understood. The Daming and Daqin are all driven by manpower and wind power, and are too restricted. Even if Lord Xu Lai designed extremely precise mechanisms for our warships and minimized the use of manpower, he still couldn't escape this model. Human resources were ultimately limitless. Your Majesty wanted to use this steam engine to promote them in the future, but this was almost a drastic change. The design of the entire warship would have to be reversed."

"Not bad." Qin Feng smiled and said, "We have two of the fifth-layer warships now, and they are almost invincible at sea, so we are not in a hurry to build a third one. We have time to apply the latest technology to the new warships."

"Your Majesty, I want to try to apply it on the third-layer warship first." Yu Cong thought for a while and said, "We have some old third-layer warships that are about to be retired. We can test them on these warships first. There are still many problems with the steam engine. I suspect that more problems will arise. These all need to be solved step by step in practice. After solving all the problems we can find, we will use them on the new ship."

"This is your business." Qin Feng smiled. "Go back, go back to Baoqing, and bring the group Xu Lai has given you. After you go back, form an elite force to solve the problem."
