Although Mao Geng drank a lot of wine with him, his mind was still a little clear-headed at this moment.

Mao Geng noticed that when Zhao Han said this, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes because of the beginning of redness on his face. Mao Geng was shocked and thought that with Zhao Han's IQ, his heart was unfair, but it did not delay him from using Xia Yi Island as a springboard to make a grand plan. It was clear that there was an acting element in it. Look, the image of the victim is pretending! It seems that he was suppressed like this. It would be very unfair if I don't help you with it!

OK, not only do I need to help you, but I also need to take the initiative to help you!

Haha, Zhao Yan Xiaowang, you are still scheming with me after being together for so long! Can't you tell me openly and honestly? Then I thought, creatures like the royal family are born political animals and are used to scheming. Compared with other similar creatures, Zhao Yan is still quite honest.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Han to mention, Mao Geng has long been scruples. For Zhao Han, we have to help him, and if we don’t, we have to help him.

Thinking of this, Mao Geng raised his wine glass, raised his head and fucked, then patted his chest and said:

"The king's affairs are the affairs of me, Mao Yisheng! Please rest assured. When I plan and come up with a plan, I will definitely not delay the king's affairs."

Speaking of this, I was stunned when I was still struggling with Xiayi Island. Zhao Yan is a smart person. He never mentioned Xiayi Island again. He just raised his glasses frequently and clinked them until he got drunk.

Mao Geng didn't know how he got home. He slept until noon the next day and woke up. After waking up, his mind was still swollen and he felt that the alcohol had not passed.

Mao Geng had something to do, so he didn't go to the office in the afternoon. He brought fishing gear and found Liu Guo, so he simply went fishing with Aihe.

Liu Guo is not a good fishing friend. His fishing skills are not very good, but he is a wonderful person. Any jokes he says will make him even more exciting. Liu Guo and Mao Geng fish in one or two times. Knowing Mao Geng’s habits, he focused on fishing and did not talk much after making a few jokes.

When I put on a straw hat and fishing quietly, Mao Geng was wondering whether to follow Zhao Han to Xiayi Island, or continue to stay here and never go anywhere, but just seeking development. When I was drinking yesterday, Mao Geng was thinking about this problem and never thought it through.

After Zhao Han went to Xiayi Island, he didn't know who would succeed as the governor. It wouldn't be Zhu Xi! Lu Jiuyuan seemed to have no decent political experience. He probably had no chance for the time being, so he might have changed to a stranger to come to Taiwan to rule.

Think about it, after Zhao Han left Taiwan, if he changed to a ruler, the SAR might not be as free as before. If someone came to someone who was not easy to deal with, I am afraid that many things would not be able to do. At that time, I really don’t know what to do.

While thinking about it, he did not delay fishing. Soon, the float started to move and Mao Geng began to close the line.

After all, he had an experience of fighting wits and courage with the cunning fish in the 21st century. Mao Geng's fishing skills were of course extraordinary in the 12th century. In an hour, Mao Geng caught eight fish, one of which was still a big fish of the highest pound. Liu Guo's harvest can only be described as bleak. He caught a fish of half a pound in total.

Mao Geng looked at the thin fish in Liu Guo's frame and realized that it would be a bit unauthentic to let Liu Guo continue to accompany him, so out of sympathy, he had to stop the pole.

It was still early, and Mao Geng still had no intention of going to the Chief Executive Office, so he threw the fishing rod and the fish basket to the guards and pulled Liu Guo to the shipyard to see the progress of the shipbuilding.

There are six ships under construction at the shipyard, the largest of which is a 2,000-ton class displacement, the remaining five, two of which are 1,200-ton class, and three of which are 500-ton class.

When Jiang Zhiang saw Mao Geng coming, he greeted him from a distance:

"Teacher Mao, today I have time to guide us in building ships."

Jiang Zhiang is now the director of Donghai Shipbuilding. In the past two years, the Donghai Shipyard has become larger and larger ships, and the scale is no longer comparable to the past. As the shipyard has developed, Jiang Zhiang is becoming more and more proficient. In the shipbuilding industry, Jiang Zhiang has been working hard for almost two years, and now he is one of the top experts in this era.

When it comes to the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, it is definitely very awesome in this era. The "Nanhai No. 1" that salvaged out of the water in 2007 was a shipwreck of the Southern Song Dynasty. Its displacement reached 800 tons and its load capacity could reach 400 tons. This may not be the largest seaship in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

The foundation of shipbuilding in the Song Dynasty was already strong. Jiang Zhiang had Mao Geng’s tips. In addition, he was smart and willing to learn, so he turned into a shipbuilding expert of his era.

When Porter and the others did not come, Mao Geng got a technical director of the shipyard. After Porter came, Porter became the technical director. Since then, Mao Geng no longer needed to stay in the shipyard from time to time. In addition, Mao Geng has been busy developing a three-inflatten steam engine and a ball-burning internal combustion engine, so Mao Geng has come significantly less during this period.

Mao Geng had a good impression of Jiang Zhiang, a young man who pursued progress, so he smiled:

"There is no point in guidance, I'm here to see."

At this time, Porter also came out and greeted Mao Geng in out-of-tune Chinese:

"Mao, hurry up, come and have a look, installing boilers and steam engines, there are many problems, many."

Mao Geng's heart sank, thinking that something went wrong with the three-inflated steam engine so quickly! This 2,000-ton ship is equipped with three newly built 200 horsepower three-inflated steam engines. What Mao Geng is more worried about is that the trial run time of this new steam engine is relatively short, or the system test has not been completed, so there are probably many hidden problems that have not been exposed. However, Han Tuozhou was very anxious, and Zhao Shu also followed Han Tuozhou to make a fuss. Therefore, after a month of testing, he hurriedly built three units. This is too hasty, and it would be strange if there is no problem with the steam engine.

Mao Geng got on the boat with Porter and Jiang Zhiang, and a large hole was exposed on the deck, which was used to hang into the boiler and steam engine. The hole will be repaired after the boiler and steam engine are installed.

Looking down from the entrance of the cave, Fan Biaoyong was commanding a group of people to install the steam engine. The scene seemed a bit chaotic. Because of the narrow space, there were many problems when installing it. Mao Geng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the steam engine had not been installed yet, and he thought it had a malfunction.

Although the installation is very difficult, Mao Geng believes that it can always be installed. In fact, although the progress below is not fast, it is still progressing slowly. After Mao Geng stood for less than a while, the shouting below temporarily stopped and the first steam engine was in place.

Mao Geng nodded and walked towards the stern of the boat. At this moment, Liu Guo was looking at the three thick steel shafts at the stern of the boat.

Liu Guo looked curious and saw Mao Geng coming, he asked:

"Chief Chief Yi Sheng, these three huge iron shafts are the ones that drive the propeller!"

"Brother Gaizhi really has vision. It's good. These three axes are what drive the propellers. The propellers must be installed after the others are installed before they are installed."

Liu Guo looked like he suddenly realized and sighed:

"A ship of such a large must be a big propeller!"

"Well. Of course, of course it's very big." Mao Geng thought to himself. The bigger the propeller, the harder it is to build. However, the technology has been improved recently. I believe that it will not be a problem to build a larger propeller in the near future.

At this time, Porter also followed and pointed to the following and said:

"Mao, get the rubber quickly, and this tail transmission cabin can be removed."

The tail transmission cabin that Porter mentioned was a leak-proof cabin specially set up because of the sealing problem.

At that time, because I was worried that the propeller transmission shaft would directly extend from the stern of the ship would cause leakage, I specially designed such a tail transmission cabin. The power output by the steam engine does not directly drive the propeller transmission shaft, but first drives the front-stage transmission shaft that is higher than the waterline, and the front-stage transmission shaft extends from the power chamber to the tail-stage transmission cabin. The tail-stage transmission cabin is equipped with a sprocket transmission, and the propeller transmission shaft located below the waterline is driven by the front-stage transmission shaft. In this way, the propeller transmission shaft does not need to extend into the power chamber at all, because with the isolation function of the tail-stage transmission cabin, there is no leakage problem at all.

But in this way, the power must be transmitted to the front-stage transmission shaft at a high level, and then the parallel propeller transmission shaft below is driven by the front-stage transmission shaft. The power is from bottom to top and then from top to bottom. The mechanism is complicated and the transmission efficiency is reduced, so Porter can't wait to get rubber. With rubber, there is no need to be such trouble.

Mao Geng had to respond vaguely:

"Potter, be patient, maybe next year, maybe the year after, we will get rubber one day."

"God bless! I hope it will be earlier!"

It's time to sail far away, Mao Geng thought. After the 2,000-ton ship was built, it was loaded with 800 tons of coal and sail power, and I don't know if it could cross the Pacific Ocean.

Mao Geng's heart moved, and he seemed to ask inadvertently:

"Dear Porter, I wonder if riding on this boat will be more comfortable than riding on a small boat. It should be that the bigger the boat, the more comfortable it is, right?" Mao Geng remembered that when air passenger transport was not yet on the rise in later generations, the only option to go out on the ocean was to take an ocean ship. It seems that he had never heard of large-scale seasickness. It should be that the boat is big enough, so he would be comfortable enough. But he didn't know if this 2,000-ton ship was considered "big enough".

"Dear Mao, after this ship is built, you can take this ship, try it, it will feel good, well, very good. However, the condition is not to use soft sails, try to use hard sails as little as possible, use only steam power, and ride them very comfortably. If, I mean, if all the sails are raised, this may not be the case. When all the sails are raised, the wind and waves are slightly larger, and the whole ship will sway and bump. In short, you won't feel comfortable. Mao, I said that, do you understand?"

This is not difficult to understand. The sea breeze is unpredictable. Using sail power will sacrifice the stability of the ship. It seems that steam power is better. In terms of the comfort of riding a boat, steam power is the most beloved.

Liu Guo next to him immediately learned from it:

"In the future, warships will use steam power, right?"

Mao Geng snapped his fingers and said proudly:

"Not bad! In the future, all warships in our Song Dynasty Navy will use steam power, well, and internal combustion engine power."

"Yi Sheng, I wonder if the new emperor will follow the rules and issue an order to establish the Song Dynasty Navy?" Liu heard that Han Tuozhou had proposed to build the Song Dynasty Navy too early, but rumors were everywhere and it was once very popular, but unfortunately there was no further information.

It is obvious that the Navy of the Song Dynasty was not adapted to the current situation. It is a bit exaggerated to describe it as "rich in the world". However, with Taiwan, Xiayi Island and Luzon, foresighted people have seen that it is urgent to build a maritime military force that protects the escort.

Of course, without time travelers pushing behind the scenes, there will be no such thing as building the Song Dynasty Navy.

Mao Geng was happy and worried about this. What he was happy about was that once the Song Dynasty established a navy, he would definitely pay attention to the power of the sea, and the Song Dynasty would be invincible. But in this way, even if he had the magical power of Sun Dasheng, he could not jump out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha. No, he was the palm of the imperial power of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, I feel more and more that it is urgent to travel far to America in order to protect myself.
