"Haha, we succeeded." Ma Jun and the craftsmen were filled with tears of joy. This was a huge success, a cross-age invention.

The second fleet leader Tang Bin was on duty outside. He saw the car and ship smoking and actually walked up by himself. His eyes were straightened, and his posture was strange.

"Captain of the fleet, why do you have to spend so much manpower and material resources to study a mechanical ship that is not as fast as a sailing boat?" asked Deputy Tang Bin.

Tang Bin said: "Our adults' wisdom is not something we can understand. As for why we spend a lot of effort to study this kind of mechanical ship mainly because it is very inconvenient to sail by wind and is limited by wind direction. As for human ships, it is suitable for small boats, heavy and medium-sized warships, cargo ships are very labor-intensive, and they are often equipped with dozens or hundreds of people. Moreover, manpower cannot last long, and the distance to sail every day is really limited, so we need to develop mechanical ships."

"But this smoked boat is too slow, not as fast as our footsteps." The deputy general smiled.

Tang Bin said: "Craftsmen are not gods, they need a little accumulation to create a more suitable ship. Don't think too much, just protect the safety of the experimental ship."

As we were chatting, the first steamboat was running and stopped.

The craftsmen on the steamboat quickly inspected and found that the connecting rod was broken. It turned out that the connecting rod was designed without considering that the steam engine had such huge strength.

"Swap the spare connecting rods and let's go back and replace them with more sturdy accessories." Ma Jun said.

"yes."

The craftsmen from the Steam Engine Public Relations Group were composed of skilled craftsmen from all walks of life. They were crowded with people and had great strength. They brainstormed their ideas to design improvement plans on their way back.

The steamship was docked and returned to the laboratory to replace the accessories. Although the soldiers in charge of the Second Fleet were not saying anything, they were laughing at the slow and strange ship.

That night, the steam engine secret laboratory was processed until midnight. At noon the next day, the steamboat set sail again with thick smoke. The whistle pulled the box and whimpered. This was extraordinary.

Today is similar to yesterday. I sailed slowly for dozens of miles and returned. Apart from the white smoke, the ship had almost no other advantages. Its speed was too slow and it was not as fast as human powers.

On the third day and on the fourth day, the soldiers were laughing at the slow ship. Not to mention being a warship, they didn't even hurry to transport goods.

On that morning, Tang Bin led a team to protect the experimental steamship in nearby waters.

At this time, the steamboat came over and Ma Hua said: "Captain Tang, our two ships are both sea crafts and ships of the same size. Your ship has six water wheels and my ship has two water wheels. How can we compare? It depends on who is faster."

Tang Bin said: "Don't joke, Director Ma, my ship is a warship, and there are forty sailors who just step on the water wheel. Can your mechanical ship work?"

Ma Jun said: "Don't worry about whether we can do it or not, just ask if you dare. Let's compete and cook for the lost night."

"Just compete, I'm afraid you won't succeed." The soldier shouted.

Tang Bin said: "Okay, then let's give it a try. Put safety first and don't show off."

The two ships kept a safe distance. With a wave of the red flag, the two ships set off. Although the car and ship that Tang Bin was not the flagship of the Second Fleet, their strength was extraordinary. The sailors who stepped on the water wheel were all strong like buffaloes. I heard that they were going to compete with the strange ship to speed.

At this time, the steamboat had already started, and the two water wheels were spinning rapidly, waving the waves of the sea. They actually changed from the slowness of the past and ran forward quickly.

Tang Bin was shocked when he saw the bow of the boat and said, "Why is this mechanical ship so fast? He can't lose if he beats the drum."

The war drums were ringing, and the nearby fishermen on Danluo Island thought they were going to fight. After a closer look, they turned out to be in the competition.

The competition continued, but the human ship could never surpass the mechanical ship. After more than twenty miles, no one on the shore could see it. At this time, the mechanical ship had already abandoned the human ship far away.

Tang Bin's mouth on the bow of the boat was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He stopped beating the drums and the sailors stopped stepping on them. He had already lost the game.

The steamboat turned a big bend in front and came back to the port in a swagger.

The news of the successful manufacturing of the steamship was reported to Dongping Prefecture as quickly as possible. It was the end of November of the lunar calendar. Wu Song was training in Dongping Prefecture these days and happened to be idle at Cheng Wan's cosmetics store. He developed a new mask called the Angelica Mask, which is whitening and moisturizing, and a hand cream for sheep oil.

Facial masks are more popular in middle-class and wealthy families, and the ladies and wives like to use these things very much.

"I didn't expect that the hand cream of sheep oil is so easy to sell. This was originally intended to be used for the guards to protect their hands during the winter," said Cheng Wan.

Wu Song looked at Cheng Wan's increasingly bulging belly and said, "The child has been several months old, so it's time for you to rest, don't work so hard."

"No, I just come to the workshop every day to check it out. The work is the real hard work. Many female workers have to insist on coming to work after being more than nine months pregnant." Cheng Wan said.

"Brother, the letter from Danluo Island." Jiao Ting came in and handed the secret letter from Ma Jun to Wu Song.

Wu Song used a knife to cut the fire paint, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Cheng Wan said: "What's so happy about this?"

"The new ship on Danluo Island has been successfully manufactured. I will go to Rizhao Port tomorrow." Wu Song said.

Wu Song's busyness is always the norm. The next morning, Wu Song led fifty cavalry to the port of Rizhao, Yizhou. This is a newly opened small port of Tongda Big Cars, mainly for material trade between Goryeo and Danluo Island. In addition, ships from the south can be switched around at this port.

Wu Song hurried to Danluo Island, and as soon as he arrived at the port, he excitedly boarded the first steamboat. The steam engine was much thicker and more noise than he thought, but it was successful after all.

Wu Song said: "Ma Jun, it's true that there is no need to let my expectations down. Come and try driving the boat."

With a whistle, the water wheels on both sides of the car and the ship rotated. The large water wheels of the sea car and ship were wrapped in wooden boards. They were not visible outside, but the sound of water wheels plucking water can still be heard.

"Have you tested the navigation speed?" Wu Song asked.

"I tested it. It's okay to travel 100 miles per hour. Although it's not faster than a horse, it's very suitable to ship more things on the boat." Ma Jun said.

Wu Song was overjoyed and finally succeeded. Although he still had the shortcomings of living like this, he finally came up with research.

"Okay, okay, great. Go back and give you bonuses."

Although Wu Song had long said there was a bonus, when MCA held the heavy 200 taels of gold, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
