Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 516

There are no iron boats in this year, and the earliest iron-hulled boats appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The real steel ship appeared in the [-]th century. Cao Cao and the others had never seen it at all. They only knew that iron sank faster than stone when it entered the water.

Some things are weak to explain, especially this kind of common sense problem, it is even less convincing to others!

It's like two stones, one big and one small falling to the ground at the same time, many people will not believe it, but after the experiment is done, they have to believe it!

"Don't believe me? Remember, brother Xinzhe, you will have eternal life!"

"Let's go! Whether it's sinking or floating, just try it!"

Xia Houzhe hugged left and right, hugged a group of daughter-in-laws and walked outside.

Everyone sighed and followed.

Cao Cao is desperate in his heart. After waiting for so long, there is a high probability that he will be lonely!

Xia Houzhe's mansion was very close to Suishui, and it was built not far from Suishui River.

In less than 10 minutes, everyone came to the river.

Looking at the not-quick river, the corners of Xia Houzhe's mouth curled up slightly, and next...it's time for me, Yuan Yi, to pretend!

Xia Houzhe waved one hand, and an unpainted 'speedboat' appeared in front of everyone.

When the speedboat landed on the river, there was a big wave, which made Cao Cao and others very cold!

But they were not angry at all, their eyes were all attracted by the ship!

Thousands of words are held in the throat, and they are merged into one easy-to-understand sentence!

"Lying in a big slot!"

Chapter 600 Iron Ship, It Really Moves

That's right!The scene in front of them broke their cognition!

That eight-meter-long iron ship did not sink into the water after a wave was stirred up!

Instead, it swayed with the waves on the water!

Not only that, not even a little water poured into the hull from the bottom of the boat.

Looking at this scene, everyone opened their mouths!

Cao Cao wiped the water off his head, looking shocked.

"How...how is it possible? Why didn't it sink?"

Guo Jia and Xun Yu also opened their mouths wide.

"Damn it! The iron can float on the water? What kind of world is this? Gou, try to slap me!"

clap clap clap...

Guo Jia was slapped with three slaps by Xun Yu until his head was covered with gold stars.

Xun Yu shook his hands, looking excited, he had never seen anyone make such an exaggerated request.

These few slaps are more or less personal.

"Hiss... sir, what... what's going on here? Could it be... you used a fairy method?"

Even Liu Ye, who didn't believe in gods and gods, changed his normal behavior and began to admire him from the bottom of his heart.

But no one had time to mock him at this time.

Compared to their discoloration, Xia Houzhe's group of women looked at him with love in their eyes, and their faces were full of pride.

How lucky that such an excellent man is actually lying on their bed at night!

The big and small Qiao also showed strange expressions, and looked curiously at the handsome man who held an umbrella for the woman to block the river.

It turns out...he wasn't bragging!He really has such a skill!

Xia Houzhe put away his umbrella, and looked at the crowd inscrutablely.

"Tell you to read more, you are holding toads and pigs!"

"Now you don't even know the tension and buoyancy of water! I'm worried about your future!"

Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

"If you don't pretend, you will die? We know the buoyancy you mentioned. Wood has buoyancy and can float by itself, so we used it to make a boat."

"It's just... this iron... obviously can't float, why does it turn decay into magic in your hands?"

Cao Cao's words made everyone fall into thinking. They didn't understand how Xia Houzhe did it.

Without much explanation, Xia Houzhe took out a porcelain bowl with his backhand and gently placed it on the river.

"Did you see that? The bowl is floating!"

Everyone nodded, a little confused.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, Xia Houzhe smashed the bowl in half and put the two bowls back into the water.

This time, the bowls on both sides sank directly to the bottom of the water.

Xia Houzhe smiled faintly and looked at the crowd.

"understand?"

In an instant, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao, Yan Xiang and the others fell into deep thought!They probably already understood the principle.

But Ji Ling, Xu Chu Dian, Wei Cao Chun and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

They said that they didn't understand what Xia Houzhe wanted to express at all.

It was Liu Ye who spoke thoughtfully.

"Sir, you mean... there is space in that bowl, so there is buoyancy, right? Just like this boat!"

"Although this boat is made of iron, there is a large space in the middle like a bowl. As long as it does not leak, it can float! Is this correct?"

Xia Houzhe nodded. It has to be said that Liu Ye is quite flexible.

No wonder he was able to become the veteran of the three dynasties of Cao Ying, and he was also one of the few great inventors in the late Han Dynasty.

"That's right! Because the part where the boat enters the water drains away the water, the water on both sides will squeeze in the middle, giving it buoyancy to make it float!"

"Not only iron, but as long as the buoyancy given by the hollow core is greater than its own weight, it can float! So making a boat is not limited to wood!"

Hearing Xia Houzhe's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Dian Wei's beer belly.

They want to try, if this big belly can float more stably in the water!

It's a pity that they can't beat Dian Wei, so they dare not kick him into the water.

The boat in front of him made Liu Ye admire him so much!

And bowed deeply to Xia Houzhe!

"Sir, please forgive my previous rudeness! You... are a person with great ability, I am not as good as you!"

"Hahaha! Brother, I told you that Uncle Yuanyi is a fairy and you don't believe me! Now you know?"

Cao Ang laughed out loud, he trusted Xia Houzhe unconditionally.

Having been in contact for so many years, he knows how knowledgeable the other party is.

Liu Ye rolled his eyes and bowed his hands to Cao Ang.

"Eldest son! Liu believed it. You and your husband are both great talents. I don't know... Can I follow you in the future and do your best for you?"

Liu Ye's eyes were shining brightly.

Cao Ang patted him on the shoulder and nodded in response.

"Okay! Follow me in the future and do some work for me! I'll teach you what I know!"

He can tell that Liu Ye is quite intelligent, and most importantly...he is interested in inventions and creations!

As long as you accept him yourself, you will have to fight the iron in the future...you can let Liu Ye do it!

What his father said was right, if the little brother was not exploited, wouldn't that be a waste?

The two have their own ghosts!

"Brother, your boat...he has no oars and no sails! How does it move? Is it drifting with the tide?"

Cao Cao found out the difference between this boat and the wooden boat, so he couldn't help asking.

The corner of Xia Houzhe's mouth curled up, and he pointed to the little bit of propeller and steam engine exposed at the tail.

"See that thing? I'll use it instead of sails and oars!"

"Steam engines replace human wind power!"

"From today on, our boats in Cao Ying don't need people to paddle or hang high sails! We just need to burn coal!"

hiss…

Everyone took a deep breath!

Unknown!Unexpectedly, this ugly and ugly boat is not powered by human power?

Cao Cao was also in pain for a while. If he used manpower, he only needed to eat.

But burning coal... all he spent was Cao Cao's money!

"You...Who wants to go to the boat with me?"

Xia Houzhe hugged Zhen Mi, the youngest, and jumped onto the speedboat.

Looking at the rickety and not wide boat, he took another look at the bottomless water.

Everyone shook their heads!

They are basically landlubbers and cannot swim!

If it is a big ship, they are not afraid, but small boats... they are a little panicked!

No one will catch them if they fall in.

"No, no, no! I'm seasick, my dear brother, you can play with your younger siblings for a while! Let me take a look! Anyway, younger siblings can swim!"

Lu Lingqi and the others, under Xia Houzhe's tutelage, have already learned to swim.

And there is also a swimming pool built with cement tiles in the manor, where they can play and play in the water!

Actually... this swimming pool was specially built by Xia Houzhe because he wanted to see bikinis!

Back then, the days when he taught swimming by hand made him addicted to his hands.

Seeing that Cao Cao and the others refused to come up, Xia Houzhe didn't force it, and turned around to pick Lu Lingqi, Cai Yan, Ganmei Mizhen and the others onto the boat one by one.

Even with a group of women and the two men, Cao Ang and Liu Xie, the boat did not sink and remained afloat steadily.

After the beauties sat down, Xia Houzhe poured some coal into the boiler, and poured some gasoline to ignite the coal.

After a while, a large amount of water vapor came out of the boiler and rushed into the steam engine along the pipe.

Xia Houzhe put on his sunglasses, hugged his sister with one arm, and controlled the rudder of the boat with the other.

"Zixiu! Open the valve! Let's go! This is the first steamship in the world. From now on, your name Cao Ang will definitely be spread all over the world!"

"Even overseas and the Western Regions, you can hear your legend!"

Xia Houzhe howled like this, and Cao Ang cheered up instantly!

One opened the valve, the steam engine pushed the piston by the steam, and it started to rotate!

The gear plate also drove the propeller to start rotating. After only a few seconds, after the speed increased, water splashed from the back of the hull, pushing the whole ship forward!

Although not as arrogant as the speedboat in the previous life, it is not bad!Much faster than a sailboat!

Everyone on the shore looked at this scene, and they were already stunned in place!

Cao Cao was even more excited and couldn't control himself, he clenched his fists tightly.

The tin boat moved!It moved quickly!

The paddle hit the water and made a crackling sound.

This sound fell on Cao Cao's ears, it was as pleasant as Xianle!
