Chapter 488 [2 More] 488
Liu Tan coughed lightly: "Last year, we were short of time. There was no way. The matter of this ship... Didn't I say it? This year is not in a hurry, and even if you design it now, no craftsman can make it, and even if you make it, you can't test it. .”
The craftsmen are all on vacation, Liu Tan doesn't mind paying them overtime pay, but it's not necessary.
Moreover, those craftsmen have basically been busy for a year, and it is not easy to be able to reunite with their families, and they don't take such orders.
What's more, it is still the dry season of the Yellow River, and the water volume in the river has dropped sharply. Large ships may run aground if they go down.
And large ships need docks, how can we do without docks?
This series of supporting facilities has not been done well, so there is no rush.
After hearing this, Mo Shi said awkwardly, "Yes...it's because I didn't think carefully, Your Highness..."
Liu Tan was helpless: "Forget it, let me take a look first."
Liu Tan asked Miao Rui and Bi Gao to unfold the blueprints. I have to say that Mo Shi and the others really worked hard on this aspect, and all the pictures on the blueprints were drawn very clearly.
What surprised Liu Tan the most was that they actually drew according to Liu Tan's drawing habit!
Liu Tan's drawing habits are completely different from those at this time, even out of tune.
From Liu Tan's point of view, his drawing is of course clearer. After all, each line is scaled down proportionally. When making it, just zoom in according to the label. As long as the final shape is the same as the picture, there is no problem.
However, the way of drawing in this era is more abstract.
It’s just that Liu Tan has never forced his own way of drawing pictures, because the time is not yet ripe. Whether it is the public loser or the Mohist school, they have formed their own genres, and they are already used to this way. You say you Well, let others change it, even the princes and kings can't be so domineering.
And people can completely ignore it, after all, they are the ones who do the work in the end, so how do you care about their work?
Liu Tan glanced at Mo Shi in surprise, "Changed the painting method?"
Mo Shi said seriously: "We went back and looked at His Highness's drawings carefully, and found that His Highness's drawings are clearer and simpler, so we tried to learn it, and found that we are still immortals... Cough cough, His Highness's method is easier Some, I changed the way of painting."
In fact, what Mo Shi said was half-true and half-false. At the beginning, they did it out of curiosity and half to cater to Liu Tan. If they used the same painting method, the King of the Northern Realm might not mind if he saw it in a good mood. What about the stupid things they did before?
And since it has been confirmed that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is an immortal descended from the world, then the unheard-of painting method he used must also be popular in the fairy world.
They don't dare to try to become immortals, but it's always okay to learn the methods of immortals, right?
What if you become enlightened in the process of learning?
As a result, after thinking about it, everyone found that this painting method is really easy to use.
After all, the disciples from the Mohist School are all young people. Young people are always quick to accept new things, because their three views are not too deep-rooted, and they can even be completely overturned at any time.
So they made such a batch of drawings in partnership.
Liu Tan smiled and nodded: "I didn't say it before because I was afraid that you might not get used to it. It would be great if you learned it by yourself. You really deserve to be the elite disciples of the Mohist school."
After Liu Tan said this sentence, Pin always felt that this title was very similar to a mob in the game.
And Mo Shi naturally didn't know what mobs in the game were. He was immediately happy when he heard Liu Tan's praise of them, thinking that he still had to cater to His Highness the King of the Northern Realm.
After Liu Tan praised him a few words, he started to get serious, and found that these people had indeed added sails to his boat, and also opened holes in the hull for long oars.
On the whole, it has the ancient ship style in Liu Tan's impression, but I don't know how it is.
He nodded and asked: "The blueprint looks good, but no one knows what it looks like before it is made. Let's make a model later."
Mo Shi immediately said: "We have already made a model, but the model can only simulate when the sail is the power, but I don't know if the oars are suitable."
Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Are you also used to making models?"
In the past, public losers seldom made models when they made things, and they learned it from Liu Tan. Are the Mohists really good at this?
Mo Shi said with some embarrassment: "This...we also learned it after inquiring about His Highness's habits. I have to say that these things His Highness invented have really benefited us a lot."
The model is not easy to make. After all, it is not so easy to scale down, but the existence of the corresponding model can save a lot of manpower and material resources. For the Mohists who are not too rich, or for them, the existence of the model demonstration It really helped a lot.
Liu Tan raised his chin and said, "Then bring your model and see what's wrong."
Mo Shi immediately asked someone to bring the model.
In Liu Tan's impression, the models are generally relatively small, and the public losers did the same before, but he didn't expect that the children of the Mo family were more grand, and their so-called models were half the height of a person!
The boat plus the sail is half the height of a person, and at most it is a bit bigger, but if you want to test whether such a boat can sail, you need a larger pool.
Mo Shi originally had a relatively large square water tank, but no matter how big it was, it was limited. This ship took up [-]% of the area of the water tank. What can be tested?
Liu Tan glanced at the ship, and found that no matter what, the craftsmanship of these Mohist children was really good, at least the things they made were very delicate, and one glance at them showed that they put their heart into it.
Seeing the small and pitiful water tank set off by the boat, he waved his hand and said, "Don't try it here, tie a rope to the boat, and let's go to Kunchi."
Kunchi is the largest pond in his palace, the one where the glass house was once placed.
It's just that the glass house will not be placed underwater on weekdays unless it is in use.
In fact, according to the climate here, the pool should be drained in winter to avoid freezing.
It's just that Liu Tan is rich and powerful, so he kept the water in the pool and passed the geothermal heat under and around the pool, in order to prevent the Kunchi from freezing.
There is no way, the winter in the northern border country is quite desolate, and after the pool is drained, the whole palace will look depressed, so even if it costs money, Liu Tan wants to keep the pool of water, otherwise the palace would be empty enough No matter how depressed he is, a person like him who seldom hurts the spring and autumn can't stand it.
After arriving at Kunchi, Liu Tan asked people to tie the front of the boat with a long enough hemp rope to ensure that it would not affect the boat and at the same time allow the boat to come back at any time, otherwise it might even have to be carried by someone else. It's too troublesome for a real boat to come and retrieve the boat.
After the boat was placed on the water, Mo Shi discovered the benefits of demonstrating here—it was windy outside, so he didn't need to find a way to fan the sails to make the boat move.
The winter wind in the northern border country is definitely not covered.
As soon as the boat was stabilized, the sails on the boat were instantly blown by the wind, and the boat jumped out like an arrow from the string. The speed caught everyone off guard.
Liu Tan stood on the shore and looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Mo Shi and asked, "Can the sail be adjusted? It seems that there was no drawing on your blueprint just now."
After hearing this, Mo Shi was taken aback and asked, "Adjust the...direction of the sail?"
Liu Tan turned to look at him in surprise and said, "Yes, the direction of the wind is not fixed. If the sail cannot be adjusted, what if the wind is not in this direction? Wouldn't the existence of the sail be useless?"
Mo Shi was a little dazed: "No...no, we didn't learn much about boats before, and it was only when we were very young that we saw boats with sails, that's why..."
Liu Tan had no choice but to add: "Remember, the sail must be able to change direction flexibly, in order to change the direction according to the direction of the wind and make better use of the wind to propel the ship forward."
Mo Shi nodded seriously, and Liu Tan continued, "And this ship has too few sails."
Mo Shi was a little surprised: "Huh? Is there still less?"
Liu Tan nodded and said: "The mast is too high, so the whole ship is a little unbalanced. Lower the mast properly, and add sails at the bow and stern. The sails don't have to be on the mast, and other places can also be added. Yes, as for how to add it depends on your ingenuity."
Mo Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "There are records about sails. The family may have books related to this, but we don't have enough authority to read them."
This time it was Liu Tan's turn to be surprised: "Aren't you from the Mo family?"
Mo Shi smiled wryly: "Actually, my surname was not Mo. The people we came out this time were all orphans adopted by the Mo family from all over the world. They were given the surname Mo because they were homeless and talented."
Liu Tan's thoughts diverged instantly: "Then... what if there is no talent?"
Mo Shi was stunned for a moment: "Then do other things. If you feel that you can't go any further after you finish your studies, it's okay to be a teacher and find something to do yourself."
After listening to Liu Tan, it suddenly dawned on him that although Mohism and Mohism carry a family name, they have actually formed a school. To explain it in a more easy-to-understand way, they have formed a sect.
There are their own children and other disciples in the sect.
In this way, it seems that the public loser is not wronged if he loses to the Mohist family. After all, the public loser is only based on the family, and the Mohist family already has disciples all over the world.
Liu Tan then asked, "Who can read the records of the ship?"
"Only the most core disciples of the Mohist school can read it."
Liu Tan frowned: "You are already good enough, and you also took the surname of Mo, so why don't they treat you as one of their own?"
Mo Shi immediately said: "No, the main reason is that many of the records about ships are related to wars. Ordinary ships carrying people are not worthy of being recorded by the Mohists. They set many conditions for fear of being followed by the barbarians. Your Majesty orders, then these conditions do not exist."
Liu talked clearly, and he looked at Mo and asked, "Then what do you want to tell me about this?"
Mo Shi said calmly: "I have never touched a ship before, and I have no interest in ships. After making this model these days, I suddenly feel that the ship is a great achievement of mechanical skills, and it coincides with the principles of heaven and earth. It is very attractive. I also I want to look at those materials, but my qualifications are not enough, so I can only invite His Highness to help."
Before Liu Tan said anything, he suddenly heard Lu Xuan beside him say: "The boat capsized!"
