After half a cup of tea, Wanyan Feixiong took a large stack of neatly arranged papers from the bag on the desk and walked towards Liu Mingzhi.
“Brother, look, this is the idea of the fire dragon car that I completed two years ago, but I just haven’t had time to verify whether it is really feasible.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wanyan Feixiong, who became vigorous and resolute when he talked about these things, and smiled helplessly. This was the Wanyan Feixiong he was familiar with.
Liu Mingzhi took the manuscript paper handed over by Wanyan Feixiong and silently flipped through it. After a moment, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and sighed.
I can see the drawings and the general intention clearly, but I can’t understand the fundamentals behind them.
I know about the theoretical knowledge of Huolong Car, but I do n’t understand how to operate it.
Just like the initial study of artillery, I have a general understanding of how to cast the artillery and how to make the artillery shells fire to kill the enemy.
But how to forge a cannon that is truly suitable for battlefield use? Why not let Jiang He lie dormant in the East China Sea and lead the craftsmen to study the artillery for many years.
With everything being guaranteed, casting the most suitable cannon still cost me millions of taels of silver.
Similarly, it is true that the concept of trains was taught to Feixiong by myself, and the concepts and knowledge were also taught to Feixiong by myself.
But how to use steam to make the train move, Liu Mingzhi is just a primary school student who knows nothing about it.
Liu Mingzhi handed the blueprint that gave him a headache to Wanyan Feixiong: "To tell you the truth, the brother of the blueprint seems to have a little knowledge and understanding. Let me tell you your thoughts first, and then I will weigh in."
Wanyan Feixiong took the rice paper and squatted on the floor to spread it out one by one: "About improving the fire dragon cart, I had a rough idea in my mind two years ago, but because of the wars, I never had the chance to implement it.
.
Especially, the embryos smelted by our Jin Guobing manufacturing supervisor simply cannot meet the standards required by my younger brother.
The previous dragon carriages were indeed manufactured, but neither the track laid nor the number of dragon carriages towed were far from my expectations.
I think that to improve the dragon car, we can use rails instead of wooden rails to complete the operation of the fire dragon car.
The reason is that the wooden rails cannot be used, and the friction between the wooden wheels and the wooden rails is very large, and the loss of steam power is also very large.
But the rails are different. They are smooth, strong, easy to maintain and repair, can reduce the waste of steam, and can also increase the number of trailers.
I have carefully calculated that not only fire dragons, but also ships can be driven by steam.
Based on the buoyancy theorem that my elder brother taught me, my younger brother guessed that in addition to wood, river boats and sea ships can be made of hollow steel.
In case there is a battle on the water in the future.
Others were riding wooden boats, but ours was an iron boat. When the two armies faced each other, they had the upper hand invisibly.
Let’s talk about gliders. Currently, simple gliders can fly with the help of wind. On the contrary, can they also use other forces to propel their flight? For example, steam or other forces.
We can compare hang gliders to artillery shells. As long as there is the power to propel them, they can fly into the sky.
Just what kind of power can be used to make the hang glider soar into the sky? I have been thinking about it and I still have no idea.
But I have thought that since coal can use steam to drive a fire dragon, can another thing be used to drive a glider?
Moreover, once this power is used, the hang glider will no longer be the simple hang glider now, but the kind of glider that can allow people to sit or lie in it.
Just like a carriage, people can stay in a closed space.
Just what this energy is, I have been looking for it, but I still don’t have the slightest clue.”
Liu Mingzhi looked enthusiastically at Wanyan Feixiong, who was holding his chin and thinking hard: "Oil! Oil can realize the energy you mentioned that drives the glider to soar into the sky."
Wanyan Feixiong's eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Mingzhi excitedly: "Oil? What oil? Fire oil?"
“It’s hard to say. I can’t give you a full guarantee whether it’s kerosene or not.
But this is a kind of black oil that is made from the ground. I have not seen this kind of oil so far, but I can assure you that this kind of oil must exist.
As long as you have this kind of oil and find a way to refine it, it will definitely satisfy all your conjectures and ideas."
The two brothers were talking to each other as usual, and they talked endlessly.
Most of the time, Liu Mingzhi was talking and Wanyan Feixiong was listening. Liu Mingzhi finally explained all the current knowledge and theories to Wanyan Feixiong without reservation.
Big brother’s explanation gave an advanced concept, which made Wanyan Feixiong excitedly mention it again and again.
He always failed to grasp the crucial key points of many things. Now the elder brother's explanation made the questions that Wanyan Feixiong had buried in his heart for several years suddenly become clear.
During the period, Liu Song and Little Cutie came to call the two brothers to go to dinner, but they were kicked out by the two brothers.
The two brothers, one providing ideas and the other conceiving, were completely immersed in topics that others thought were whimsical.
There was a clang, and the door creaked open in response.
Liu Zhian stood outside the door with a sullen face, watching the two brothers walk in dumbfounded, hands behind their backs.
“Damn it, you two bastards are more difficult to invite than Zhuge Kongming, right? A big family is waiting for you two to eat in the hall, and you two are even putting on airs.
Liu Song can’t touch you, Yue’er can’t touch you, so I can’t touch you either?”
The two brothers reacted and looked at Liu Zhi'an, who looked unkind and impatient, and hurriedly put down the pen in his hand.
“Feixiong, I will explain to you about the airplane later. Let’s go eat first. Let’s go eat first.”
Wanyan Feixiong put down the rice paper in his hand and nodded regretfully: "Okay, let's go eat first!"
“Okay, you have to take what I just said about Dalong’s three-step five-year plan to heart.
Whether the eldest brother can have more ambitious ambitions depends entirely on you."
“Don’t worry, brother, I’ve forgotten my last name and I can’t forget what you told me.”
“You’ve been here for a long time, haven’t you? Even a three-year-old child knows whether chickens can fly. You’ve been here to talk about these things all afternoon?
With this leisure time, you can talk about which kiln sister's kung fu is better than these. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the cursing Liu Zhian angrily, shook his head and walked towards the door.
“Young master, I’m ashamed to be in the company of such a stupid old man, so I’m going to eat!”
Wanyan Feixiong saw Liu Zhi'an's sudden change in expression and hurriedly ran over.
“Godfather, please calm down, godfather, please calm down. Brother, he doesn’t understand shit and we don’t have the same knowledge as him. My child has brought you some souvenirs. Please wait a moment and I will get them right away.”
After Wanyan Feixiong finished speaking, he ran towards the desk again. In the blink of an eye, Wanyan Feixiong handed a brocade box to Liu Zhian's hand.
“My godfather, here are three ginseng kings and one Tianshan snow lotus. I won’t tell you the medicinal effects, but my godfather also understands, ah!
Shall we go to dinner?”
Liu Zhi'an was overjoyed. He happily held the brocade box in his arms and pulled Wanyan Feixiong towards the door.
“Good son, my godfather’s love for you has not been in vain!”
“Godfather, it’s only been a few years since the baby left. It’s just a little bit of care. As long as the godfather likes it.”
“I like it, of course I like it. Your godmother’s addiction lately is to eat and eat more and more.
Brat, your godfather has saved all the profits from your shops for you. Have you ever found a wife in the past few years since you returned to the Kingdom of Jin?
If you are short of money, my godfather will give you an emergency response of one hundred thousand to eighty thousand taels."
"Daddy, how can I have time? We will talk about these things later. We will talk about them later."
“Let’s talk about it later, how can we do it without getting married when the eldest brother is too young?
After the Spring Festival, you can go anywhere in the Huafang Street in Beijing. Tell me your name to ensure that you can go across the street without any obstruction."
Mr. Liu Zhi'an and Mr. Liu were still muttering unseemly words, but Young Master Liu had already rushed to the main hall.
“The child Liu Mingzhi met his mother.
I have met my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I’ve met my mother!”
Mrs. Liu and others stood up with smiles and hurriedly stopped Liu Mingzhi who wanted to salute.
Mrs. Liu looked at Young Master Liu lovingly, raised her hand and pinched Young Master Liu's cheek.
"Silly boy, what are you doing with so many gifts? Sit down quickly."
“Hey, I listen to my mother.”
“I am in perfect harmony.
Qiya, Qinglian, Wenren Yunshu, Su Weier
I have met my husband."
"Children Liu Yiyi, Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi, Liu Yunfeng"
“Meet daddy!”
“Meet the uncle.”
“Sit, sit, sit, sit down, everyone.”
“Thank you, daddy!”
“Thank you, uncle!”
"Mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, my child has kept you waiting for a long time. You should not be as knowledgeable as my child. I originally thought"
Liu Mingzhi was happily apologizing to Mrs. Liu, Mr. and Mrs. Qi Run, and Aunt Qinglian, when suddenly a heart-stopping aura came, causing Liu Mingzhi to stop as soon as he finished speaking, with a faint look in his eyes.
Looking out of the hall.
Mrs. Liu's pretty face, which still retains its charming charm, also had a stern expression. She raised her hand and grabbed the eldest son's wrist, and stared out of the hall with her beautiful eyes.
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the Queen, Wen Ren Yunshu and other beauties who were skilled in martial arts also hurriedly stood up and trotted towards the children at the other table, guarding a group of juniors behind them.
Liu Mingzhi patted the back of Mrs. Liu's hand, stood up and walked towards the hall door, cautiously scanning the many corners outside the main hall.
“Who are you, an expert? Whether you are an enemy or a friend, you might as well show up and see me!”
