Chapter 402 Why, Duke Wei wants His Majesty to disbelieve?
Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others did not know this.
"evil creature!"
When they returned to Chang'an City from Lijiazhuang, as soon as they entered the house, they directly saw the faces of Aye and others as dark as the bottom of a pot.
It made several people feel shocked.
After thinking about it, I had been staying in Lijiazhuang without doing anything. After making sure that I was not the cause of the trouble, I quickly and cautiously asked: "Ah, who made you so angry, my child?"
I’ll take revenge on you!”
"The traitor!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others looked even more angry.
But, it can't be said clearly.
"Aye?"
Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others all looked confused.
Coincidentally, the servants who followed behind and escorted the map all the way also brought in the map they drew.
"This is?"
In their respective houses, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked at the familiar map that was brought in from the door, their eyes full of surprise.
"Aye, this map is based on the map drawn by the Master. I drew it myself and specially dedicated it to Aye!"
Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others quickly reported the incident.
"You can also draw maps?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were stunned, but they had already forgotten the small map that Fang Yizhi and others presented to them a few days ago.
"Exactly!"
Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others all said with proud faces.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others had already stood up with curious faces, walked to the map, and looked over.
The map in front of them is somewhat similar to the map they saw in Liangyi Hall.
Immediately, they remembered something and quickly took out the small maps presented by Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others a few days ago to compare them.
The handwriting and lines are equally ugly, and it was indeed painted by a traitor like myself.
After confirmation, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others' expressions immediately relaxed, and they couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others didn't understand what was going on?
They all breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. Fortunately, they also followed Gao Ming and drew a picture, so that they could have a loving father and a filial son!
…
The second day.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others had not yet had time to show off to Li Shimin.
Just after the morning meeting, Li Shimin hurriedly took them to Lijiazhuang.
"Xuanba, where is the steel ship?"
As soon as he entered the other courtyard, Li Shimin began to ask expectantly.
"Your Majesty, please come with me to the back garden!"
After greeting Li Shimin, Li Xuan took Li Shimin and others to the back garden.
Behind him, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all looked surprised.
Steel ship?
How could it be so wasteful to use steel to make ships?
Moreover, can ships made of steel really float on the water?
However, thinking that this was the King's Courtyard and His Majesty seemed to know what was going on, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others did not ask and followed silently.
Soon, the group came to a pool in the back garden.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were directly attracted by the two exquisite boats on the edge of the pool.
Although they are small boats, each one is as long as half a person. Their internal style and structure are almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty navy. The most important thing is that these two small boats are made of steel.
"Your Majesty, Prince, you can all take a look. This ship is made of steel. The ship next to it is first made of wooden boards and then tightly wrapped with steel!"
Li Xuan introduced from the side.
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong quickly touched and looked around.
Nodding secretly.
"Your Majesty, these two ships were built by the master craftsmen in the palace according to the style of the Tang Dynasty Navy ships. If these two ships can float in the water, it proves that giant ships made of steel can also sail on the sea!"
Li Xuan said slowly.
"Your Majesty, what His Highness King Jin said is absolutely true!"
On the side, Li Xiaogong also looked forward to it.
"This is the first time I have seen a ship made of steel. Xuanba can try it!" Li Shimin nodded slowly.
Hearing this, Li Xuan didn't say much, just picked up the steel-wrapped ship and slowly placed it in the water.
The ship only sank a little and stayed firmly on the water.
Seeing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but look overjoyed.
Then, Li Xuan picked up the ship made of steel again and slowly placed it on the water.
Similarly, this ship, which was entirely made of steel, also floated on the water after sinking for a while.
Suddenly, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but widen their eyes with disbelief on their faces.
"How can this be?"
"It can actually float!"
Li Shimin couldn't help it, and hurriedly walked to the pool and fiddled with the ship made entirely of steel for a long time, and then he took a long breath.
"Your Majesty, these iron blocks are the weight of the ship's cargo and crew. Your Majesty can see if this ship can still float if it is loaded with cargo and people!"
With that said, Li Xuan was on the shore again, picked up a few large pieces of steel, and placed them on the steel ship.
What once again amazed Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others was that the steel ship shook but did not sink much, and their faces were even more shocked.
"Xuanba, if you put steel in the water, it will definitely sink. Why can ships made of steel float?"
Li Shimin asked with curiosity on his face.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves the relationship between density, weight and buoyancy. I have different explanations at the moment, but Your Majesty can use the human body as a metaphor. People can swim and float in the water with a breath in their stomachs.
Similarly, inside a steel ship, it is also empty, but it is open and empty, and it can still float on the water!"
Li Xuan explained slowly.
However, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others still couldn't understand.
He didn't continue to ask. Anyway, if he asked, Xuanba wouldn't give them a detailed explanation, or even if he explained, they wouldn't understand.
Instead, he directly pulled the steel ship, lifted it on the shore, and started to look over it.
Within a short while, several people were sweating profusely.
Although the steel ship is hollow inside, such a large ship still weighs about one hundred pounds.
"Your Majesty, since steel ships can float on the water, can you build me a giant steel ship?"
On the side, Li Xuan stared patiently for a long time. After Li Shimin got over his curiosity, he began to ask.
"A giant steel ship?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously asked.
"Your Majesty promised that if it can be proven that steel ships can float on the water, he will build two giant steel ships with steel for me!" Li Xuan said lightly.
"Two giant ships made of steel?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously took a cold breath and quickly looked at Li Shimin.
Those are two giant steel ships!
When did Your Majesty become so prodigal?
"Your Majesty, building a giant steel ship requires at least tens of thousands of kilograms of steel. This year's steel may be insufficient!" Fang Xuanling said slowly.
"Why, Wei Guogong wants to remonstrate, but His Majesty will not keep his words?"
Li Xuan became angry and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Highness, King Jin, forgive me. I was a little confused for a moment, and I never had such thoughts!"
Fang Xuanling was shocked and quickly saluted and apologized with a look of panic on his face.
