Chapter 421 Marine propeller

"After all, his speed is too slow!"

Gongsu Shangzao said.

It is indeed a problem.

If iron ships are used to make ships.

Then, once his power is still the same as the previous sail power.

Then, using the same power to drive a heavier ship, it is conceivable that the speed of this ship is not much faster.

At this time, after hearing the words of the latter.

Ying Changsheng was on the side, but he was smiling and calm.

Well, for that matter.

Ying Changsheng came naturally, he already had a solution, I heard him explaining to Gongshu Shangzao with a smile.

"There is no way, I ask you, why do you have to use sail power to drive the ship?"

"But, besides sail power, what other power can drive the ship to sail?"

Gongshu Shangzao on the side frowned, looked at Ying Changsheng, and asked in confusion.

But Ying Changsheng smiled and explained.

"Of course, this kind of power is extremely powerful. In terms of efficiency, it is much stronger than sail power!"

"What is it? Young Master Nineteen!"

For a moment, Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help but feel confused. He looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him and asked in confusion.

Well, he didn't know what Ying Changsheng proposed to use to solve the power problem of these ships.

After hearing the latter's question, Ying Changsheng was also unambiguous, and he directly expressed his opinion.

I only heard Ying Changsheng explain with a smile.

"It's very simple, it's a steam engine!"

"Steam engine?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's proposal, Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help but stare.

But soon, he reacted, and said to Ying Changsheng in front of him with a look of excitement.

"That's right, a steam engine, a steam engine is absolutely fine, it can be used as a power source for a ship, how did I ignore this problem just now!"

Gongshu Shangzao slapped his thigh fiercely, and heaved a long sigh in there.

Well, in his opinion, the steam engine as the power of the ship is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

First of all, this thing has plenty of power.

Secondly, this thing is in the Great Qin Empire, and the technology is very mature now. Under such circumstances, it is extremely reliable to install this thing on the ship and use it to drive the ship to sail!
Thinking of this, Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help but said to Ying Changsheng who was at the side.

"Master Nineteen is wise, I never thought that the power of this ship can be replaced by a steam engine. Now, with this steam engine, I, Daqin, no longer have to worry about the ship running out of power!"

"Hahahaha, that's natural, that's natural!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, and he said.

But soon, Gongshu Shangzao fell into a new problem.

That is.

It is of course possible to use a steam engine as the power of the ship.

However, the question is, how to provide the power of the ship generated by the steam engine to the ship, so that he can drive the ship and sail on the water?

This is really an extremely difficult problem.

Thinking of this, Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help frowning.

But soon, after seeing a boat on the river, Gongshu Shangzao's eyes lit up instantly, realizing that this was an excellent alternative.

I saw that on the ship not far away, there was a strange-looking ship. There were two wheels on each side of the ship. Then, the wheels touched the water surface. On the ship, someone was manipulating the ship. A kind of wheel, while the wheel is turning, the paddles installed on it stir the river water, and then, the boat is vigorously driven to sail in the water.

For a moment, Gongshu Shangzao slapped his thigh fiercely, and he said to Ying Changsheng.

"Young Master Nineteen, look at the boat in the distance. Is it possible to use such a transmission method to install two side wheels on the boat to drive the boat to sail on the water?"

"This one……"

Gongshu Shangzao's voice reached Ying Changsheng's ears.

For a moment, Ying Changsheng couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he used his own eyes to look at the water surface, looking behind the paddle boat in the distance.

Ying Changsheng couldn't help laughing.

Well, just like in history, Western scientists were the first to develop the steam engine.

At this time, Gongshu Shangzao thought of it first.

Also this thing.

However, in Ying Changsheng's view, this thing is not good.

First of all, this thing is obviously a backward technology that will be eliminated.

Paddle boats had already appeared during the Warring States Period.

However, this structure is not perfect, and it will definitely not work on ships powered by steam engines.

This point has been proved by history.

At this moment, seeing Ying Changsheng, he shook his head again and again, and opened his mouth to Gongshu Shangzao in front of him.

"What you said is extremely inappropriate. This paddle wheel structure is completely inappropriate for this!"

"But, if you don't use this kind, which one should you use?"

The method he just thought of was directly denied by Ying Changsheng. For a while, it was inevitable that Gongshuo was somewhat disappointed. He turned his gaze to Ying Changsheng who was on the side, and asked involuntarily.

After hearing the latter's question, Ying Changsheng was also unambiguous, and he opened his mouth directly.

"I don't really know, a transmission method!"

"Oh?"

For a moment, Gongshu Shangzao's eyes lit up and he looked at Ying Changsheng.

I don't understand what method Ying Changsheng is talking about.

"I also ask the nineteenth son to make it clear that if you tell me about this method, the minister will go down and study it to see if it is feasible or not!"

"This way, I can't explain it!"

Ying Changsheng frowned slightly, and said to Gongshu Shangzao.

The driving method he mentioned is the driving method used by ships of later generations. To put it bluntly, it is through the propeller, and then the propeller is installed at the tail of the ship and installed in the water. Then, after the steam engine starts, it drives the propeller. .

Then, the ship can be driven to sail above the water.

but.

The crux of the matter is.

Although this method is extremely feasible.

but.

At this time, Ying Changsheng was facing an embarrassing thing.

That is.

The current era.

The propeller seems to have not come out yet.

In this situation.

Ying Changsheng wanted to tell Gongshu Shangzao what a propeller was, and wanted to explain to him the principle of this thing.

Isn't that as difficult as reaching the sky?
See Ying Changsheng's answer.

Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help but doubt whether what Ying Changsheng said was feasible or not.

But, as the saying goes, the official rank crushes people to death.

He had no choice but to listen to Zhu Cixuan.

Then, he calculated in his mind that after a while, he went to the workshop to see whether what Ying Changsheng provided was feasible or not.

If it works, do it, if not, forget it...
