Three days later, Hong Tao and Wen Nan left Tula City. There were three cargo ships parked in the port of Sun City. Carl was still waiting to load weapons and transport them back to Jiang Zhuyi for a job. It would not be too late. The woman became more and more crazy. Almost all the mountain people in her territory were mobilized and prepared to follow the hostess out of the mountain area, holding swords and armor to make a lot of money.

"There are only so many left. You can go to Lao Mai and give her the muskets. Lao Mai's tribe members will soon come over, and it's useless to ask for those rags." Hong Tao was unable to satisfy his face when Carl's lion spoke loudly. The sword and armor in Sun City were replaced by the Armed Mahjong tribe in the past, with a total of more than 2,000 sets. However, Hong Tao pointed out a clear way for Carl. These broken things are in hand, and it's not a problem to have a few thousand sets. The fat black man is a hamster. He will hide anything he thinks is useful at home, and maybe tens of thousands of sets can't be beaten.

"These two boxes of Leswan teach you how to use them, right? Let the Saracen merchant know this thing first, and you can see it for a little while, but you must not sell it, nor can you say it is yours. If you say it was made by France, everything will be waiting for me to come back." In addition to a pile of swords and leather armor, Hong Tao also specially asked Bush to prepare two boxes of grenades for Carl, which was a reassurance for the Saracen people. You can't eat it early or late, it depends on the actual situation.

"You have so many new things here. The Wen family's shipyard is opposite? I have seen a strange ship running around the river several times these days. It has no sails, and it is smoking, and it runs quite fast. People here kneel on the ground and pray, saying that it is the Sun God on the boat. What about Sun God? This must be the trick of you and Wen Xiaoqi. Why can it run without sails?" Carl didn't lose his motivation, but his gossip's ears and eyes were getting better and better. He was stroking around all day and couldn't hide anything from him.

"Shh, whisper, let the missionaries hear it. Maybe one day they will be arrested and burned to death! You dare to slander the Sun God in private. You are too brave. Get on the boat and get out of here. If you don't leave, I will search on the boat. Do you dare to say that there is no thing from my house in your cabin?" Hong Tao himself didn't understand the progress of the steamboat, so of course he couldn't tell Carl. This guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. Every time he comes to Sun City, he will go to Hong Tao's house to search. As long as no one is watching, he can row a lot of things and even take the toys of the Rat and Two Rats, which is even more annoying than a thief.

"This is a private ship of the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Virginia. You have no right to check it! Lao Wen, hurry up and get on the boat. You can't stay here for a long time!" Carl said with confidence, but was very guilty, and pulled Wen Nan and walked up the gangway.

"Lao Wen, remember to go to the North African ports first and let the patrol fleet pass back the local situation as soon as possible. Carl, when you arrive at Lao Mai, bring me a message to Cixi, and say that the new goods can be sold. Don't forget!" Hong Tao was too lazy to search in Carl's cabin. This eye-opening thing couldn't take away any good things. In order to prevent him, he had already put all the good cigarettes and alcohol at Joseph's house. This charlatan did not smoke, drink, and did not get close to women. There was basically no one in his house dared to enter, which was safer than a bank vault.

The things that Carl took were all the inferior goods that he deliberately prepared to give him. He didn't know that he thought he had taken advantage of this iron cock and was having fun. He had to treat him like this for such a clever and let him spend half his life trying to get rid of the stuff and drink burgers.

It’s a pity that Wen Xiaoqi didn’t make him feel embarrassed. Before Carl’s sail could be pulled up, a loud noise came from the shipyard, followed by a cloud of smoke rising.

"Finally... Xiaoqi is probably a roast suckling pig! Go and go to the other side!" From the rising smoke, Hong Tao saw the white steam that he was most reluctant to see. Don't ask, 99% of it was because the boiler was fried, and there was not so much steam coming out of other things.

Why is Wen Xiaoqi so worry-free? Can boilers be played casually? Especially the improved fire tube boiler, the steam pressure is much larger than the previous earth boiler, so why can't you wait for yourself to come back? But you can't just look at it no matter how you blame me. Hurry up and find a small boat to take a look. I hope I won't see Wen Xiaoqi whose skin is scalded. If that's true, I have to be a villain again and shoot him to death, so that he won't suffer from the infection and death after being infected for half a month.

"Brother Hong, let's go there too!" Wen Nan and Carl also heard it. Seeing the abnormality on the other side, even Hong Tao rolled and crawled onto the boat, indicating that something must have happened.

"Go away! Go away! I feel annoyed when I see that red-bearded bald man. It's all caused by him!" Hong Tao didn't want Wen Nan and Carl to see him kill Wen Xiaoqi with one shot. I heard that the feeling was completely different from what I saw with my own eyes. He didn't have much good reputation, so he must be careful to maintain it.

When the boat rowed to the test boat platform of the shipyard on the other side, there were already many people surrounded here, most of which were their own craftsmen in the shipyard, and some were professional firefighters holding iron hooks and water pumps. But these people were all outside the wall, as if someone was blocking them from entering.

"The Lord God's Envoy is here, let me give it!" Before Hong Tao could see clearly what was going on in the wall, the boatman pulled his neck and shouted, and then the people near the boat platform immediately dodged a passage. The reason why they did not kneel down to welcome Lord God's Envoy was because Hong Tao stipulated that these etiquettes were exempted during work. It was not a comfortable thing to kneel down wherever they went.

"Come back! Run? You can still run to the sky!" The crowd dodged, and Hong Tao saw Wen Xiaoqi, who was covered in coal foam, standing in front of the door and blocking people from entering. Wen Xiaoqi also saw Hong Tao. He hesitated for only a second, then turned around and drilled into the door.

"Let everyone scatter. It's okay here. I'll call you if you have any questions. This time everyone reacts quickly and deserves praise. I will tell the priests here to ask him to remember you." Wen Xiaoqi didn't listen to Hong Tao and disappeared after entering the door. Hong Tao didn't rush to chase him. Anyway, there was only one entrance and exit here, so he couldn't escape. These people at the door need to be dismissed. There is no private ownership here, everything belongs to the Sun God, and there is no currency, so the reward of money is useless.

The biggest reward is the merit book of sacrifices. That thing is the ticket for everyone in the next life. Whoever has accumulated enough credit will be able to meet the Sun God first. Of course, the reward and punishment system created by Hong Tao and Joseph is still a calculation method. From a mathematical perspective, it is eliminated who will naturally accumulate enough of these scores. The only possibility is who sacrifices his life for the Sun God at a critical moment. Then Joseph will announce with a solemn expression that he has saved enough points, so he has gone to meet the Sun God, and others have to work hard!

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. It was fine yesterday, but it suddenly exploded today. I did nothing..." After the crowd at the door dispersed happily, Hong Tao also entered the small door. Wen Xiaoqi was squatting in the door. He knew there was no place to run, but he was afraid that Hong Tao would beat him up in front of his workers, which would be too embarrassing.

"I'm just talking to me. It's natural for me to not let you move the new boiler. I'll see it. This means that you have a great life! Are others injured?" Hong Tao looked at the ship on the boat platform. Steam was still coming out in the cabin in the middle, but the chimney was still there and it was not crooked. This means that the power of the explosion is not high. Since Wen Xiaoqi is fine, then don't worry. It doesn't matter if others die or suffer. At worst, let the priests send them to the Sun God Kingdom to enjoy their happiness earlier.

"No one should be injured. They were replacing the propeller under the stern of the boat. Yesterday, the one was a little small, and I wanted to change to a larger one. I burned the boiler, and they happened to ask me to go down to see the propeller. I just left for two minutes and it exploded..." Wen Xiaoqi didn't know what was wrong with the boiler, so he didn't dare to go up to see such a large steam. Before Hong Tao came, he was making up lies at the door and trying to describe an accident as an experiment. As a result, Hong Tao came too fast and still couldn't escape.

"Let me touch you, are you facing the Sun God on your head? You are so lucky? It's a pity that you didn't blow you up! Look at me, and you're looking for someone to turn off the fire. Are you planning to let me go in person?" It's good that people are fine. Although those craftsmen are not as rare as Wen Xiaoqi, those who can enter here are Wen Xiaoqi's capable apprentices, and one less is a loss.

The boiler did not really explode, but one of the joints burst out. It seems that manual rivet connections are not unhealthy. If the weld is, it will be miserable. The stronger the weld, the more thorough the blowing is. Maybe even the hull can be exploded. If the damage is found, the fault will be easy to judge. Two hours later, Wen Xiaoqi discovered the cause of the fault. The boiler was too large and the output was too much steam, so the high-temperature steam entered the cycle before it could cool down. At that time, no one opened the pressure relief valve, and the fire was still burning so strong that the not-so-solid joint was pushed open by the high-pressure steam.

The volume of this boiler is one size smaller than the boiler used by Wen Xiaoqi, but after modification, the power is significantly higher than the original large boiler, which means that the fire tube boiler has been transformed successfully. As for how large the output power of these boilers is, Hong Tao cannot calculate it. The power calculation conditions are too complicated, and there are various measuring instruments and it is impossible to calculate it at all.

But this is not a problem. There are three new boilers of different sizes. The medium size has high power, so replace it with a small one. If the small one is not suitable, then replace it. Anyway, there is no cost calculation or construction period requirements. I still have some time now. I will definitely find a boiler that can match the steam engine with a few more trials with Wen Xiaoqi.
