Yelofe was like a heartless and unjust scumbag, venting all his grievances and dissatisfaction on his assistant, or apprentice, Vasily Gulievich. He naturally felt that if it weren't for Vasily Gulievich
What a strange little note, he will never be as passive as he is now.
So, it's all Vasily Gulievich's fault. It's this little bastard who got him into trouble.
If it weren't for the public attention, Yelofe would have raised his hand and slapped him with a few mouths. To the traditional and old-fashioned Russians, assistants or apprentices are like serfs at home and can be taken care of at will.
Unfortunately, there were too many people watching here. Yelofe could only suppress his roar, glared at Vasily Gulievich, and scolded him to vent his anger.
To be honest, this made Yelofey so unhappy that he felt like he was in trouble. The problem was that Vasily Guryevich was actually even more unhappy. It was obviously not his fault. He reminded Yelofey to not make him question whether the iron-hulled ship could be built.
Come up, but this stubborn old guy has messed up everything by himself, and now he turns to him to vent his anger. Do you think he can stop being angry!
Vasily Gurievich really wanted to walk away and never look at Yelofey's face again. However, he could only think about it. In the very traditional Russia, in the craftsman industry, the masters
The disciple relationship is the most important and special relationship.
No one will hire an apprentice who disrespects his master, and no one will give him a chance to work. No matter how capable he is, it will be useless. The door will always be closed to him.
Therefore, in order to live a good life, and for his younger brothers and sisters at home to have enough to eat and learn a craft, he could only endure it no matter how many grievances he suffered from Yelofe.
Vasily Gurievich lowered his head, suppressing all his resentment and anger tightly in his chest, trying not to look at Yelofe's disgusting face, and trying his best to endure all the insults until the old guy finished venting his anger.
Yelofe finally finished scolding him. It was not that he was venting his anger. In fact, whenever he saw his disciple who lowered his head and kept silent, he felt very angry. This was what he hated about Vasily Guryevich the most—
- This little bastard thinks that if he lowers his head and doesn't speak, he doesn't know that the little bastard is full of anger!
Yelofey knew very well what his apprentice was thinking, and he was furious about it. He naturally believed that he could insult Vasily Guryevich at will. This was the natural right of a master. The apprentice could only bear it, and was not allowed to do anything.
Any complaints.
Vasily Gurievich actually dared to be dissatisfied! To Yelofey, this was treason, so he secretly decided to postpone the date of Vasily Gurievich's departure for at least another year as punishment.
The reason that made Yelofei stop cursing was that the questioning meeting must continue. If he did not continue the questioning, Li Xiao could go home openly as the winner. In that case, Yelofe would really become a laughing stock.
Yeluofei threatened loudly: "Think about it quickly, what other problems can trouble that bastard Grand Duke? I don't think you all have to leave!"
Vasily Guliyevich glanced at Yelofe bitterly, and his hatred for this narrow-minded, old-fashioned and old-fashioned master who had no real ability increased. But he knew that Yelofe definitely meant what he said. He once had a senior brother
He just corrected a small mistake of the old man, but he was resented for three years, and it took him a full eight years as an apprentice before he was allowed to start his apprenticeship.
Vasily Gurievich didn’t want to work for Yerofer for nothing anymore, not even for one more day. He gritted his teeth and said: “Master, the problem of the magnetic compass of the iron-hulled ship is absolutely unsolvable!
"
Originally, when Vasily Gulievich interrupted, Yelofe was ready to scold him again immediately. He hated this apprentice who had bad ideas. But after the other party finished speaking, Yelofe's eyes lit up again. This
That’s a really good question, great!
However, Yelofe still did not give Vasily Guliyevich a good look. He lectured: "You traitor! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Did you deliberately want to make me look embarrassed?"
Vasily Gurievich was scolded again, but he was used to it. His master had such a scumbag temper and no humanity at all.
However, Yelofe no longer cared about teaching Vasily Gulievich a lesson. He rushed back to the center of the stage, preparing to knock down Li Xiao with the ammunition given by Vasily Gulievich.
"Even if iron-hulled ships can be built, they will never be able to achieve much development. Such ships have natural defects that cannot be overcome. The iron-hulled ships will greatly interfere with the use of the magnetic compass... Without the magnetic compass,
How do our ships navigate the vast sea? Can the ships we spend huge sums of money building always stay on the shore?"
Does Yelofey's question make sense? To be honest, it does. Iron products are ferromagnetic and do interfere with magnetic compasses. Especially in the early 19th century, this problem was almost unsolvable.
Therefore, people were able to build iron-hulled ships in 1815, but it would take another fifty years for iron-hulled ships to gradually become mainstream. The key problem was their interference with the magnetic compass. There was no satellite positioning system at that time, and the magnetic compass
It is the most important navigation device. Without it, who would dare to sail on the sea?
Therefore, this attack point is very powerful. Even Li Xiao couldn't help but look at Vasily Guliyevich. Yes, he saw all Yelofe's performance just now and knew that this old guy actually has no ability.
In other words, those who have some common sense are his apprentices.
"Your Excellency, why are you silent? You who advocate building iron-hulled ships have not thought of this problem, right? You don't know such a simple common sense issue, right?"
Li Xiao felt a little funny in his heart. This poor old man was resurrected with full health. Just now he looked like a bereaved dog. He was indeed a villain.
Yeluofe was ready to continue sarcasm, while Tolstoy and Alexei who were watching were also secretly worried about Li Xiao. But Li Xiao was still so calm, he smiled slightly and said:
"The reason why I don't speak is because of your ignorance. I thought that as a senior naval designer, you should have a broad international perspective. What I didn't expect is that you are so... so closed-minded, almost
do not know anything!"
Yeluofe became angry and shouted: "Don't make excuses. I'm going to ask you how to solve the problem of iron-hulled ships interfering with the magnetic compass! Answer quickly!"
Li Xiao looked at the furious Yelofey, sneered, and asked: "Colonel Fedinov, do you know George Airy?"
