After the November of Sun City begins, in addition to working, everyone has to work, which is the annual Spring Festival, and it is also the birthday of the Sun God. [?({<』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』

At present, a tall archway is being built by the river in Sun City. When the workers saw a black ship without sails, emitting black smoke and white smoke passing by the river, they even forgot about their work, and stared at the ship with their mouths open. I don’t know who reacted first, knelt on the ground and started praying. Then everyone around them also understood that the Sun God had descended to earth again, and the medium was the tall man standing at the door of the small house on the bow of the ship. He was the envoy of the god, and his mission was to let the Sun God possess him from time to time, and then pass the Sun God’s will to mortals through his mouth.

"Xiao Qi, come out." Hong Tao faced the more and more kneeling worshipers on the shore, so he could not give any gifts. He had to look more majestic with his chest and belly facing the sky. There was no way, and the believers liked to show off themselves and not pretended that they were unhappy.

"What are you doing?" Wen Xiaoqi was immersed in the trembling feeling coming from his feet. He felt that it was the real divine power and he completely ignored the things outside.

"I'll let you come out, where did you come out? Why? I count to three, if you don't come out, I'll throw you into the river, and then I drive a boat out to sea by myself." Seeing that more and more people on the shore gathered, and the boat was getting faster and faster, Hong Tao glared and stretched out three fingers.

"I don't take such a trick. I'll be the captain. You'll be here to drive the boat in the future. Why do you have to fight with me?" Faced with Hong Tao's tyranny, Wen Xiaoqi had no choice but to beat him. He couldn't even beat him, and he could only reluctantly put down the steer wheel and drill out of the cab door.

"Wang his hand towards the river bank, try not to laugh too stupidly." Hong Tao did not intend to compete with Wen Xiaoqi for driving rights, but instead took this opportunity to let him show off more and also get some magical power, which would be beneficial to him in the future to manage his country.

"Hehe, now you are also a miracle person. In the future, your subordinates will listen to a few more words when they speak. Do you understand? You can't rule the country by relying on skills alone. Sometimes you have to use your brain more. You can't just use your brain. You can't just carry boats and machines here." Although Wen Xiaoqi's appearance is not very natural, Hong Tao is basically satisfied. Anyway, people on the shore can't see the expressions of their two people very clearly, so it's enough to recognize who they are.

"I can't learn your skills, and I won't lie every day. Wherever there is a sun god, it's all lie!" Wen Xiaoqi then realized what Hong Tao wanted him to come out, but he didn't think this would help him.

"If you dare to say this again, I will smash you to death! I understand in my heart, but there are some things that cannot be said. Whether it is possible or not, I have to learn something." Hong Tao was a little worried about how pure craftsmen like Wen Xiaoqi, Qi Zu, and Bush should manage the country in the future. His emotional intelligence is too low.

"Don't worry about this. Uncle Qi and I have discussed it. What's the difficulty of managing the country as a big factory? The factory director is the king, the craftsman is the minister, the apprentice is the county magistrate, and the workers and their families are the people. If there is food in the factory, everyone will not be hungry. Whoever can't do it well will be hungry." Wen Xiaoqi not only dislikes Hong Tao's management method, but also his own set of theories. Moreover, he did not think so alone, so Qi Zu also got involved.

"...Your ability is yours, I want to see what you two can do!" Wen Xiaoqi was stunned for Hong Tao. The solution he thought was not impossible, but it was very successful. As long as the supply system and planned economy are maintained, there is nothing wrong with this model.

This model existed in China for a period of time in later generations. Many large factories, mines, forest farms, and agricultural reclamation corps were actually a small country with all kinds of internal organs. However, if this model is really put into a country as the main body, it is a new topic. Hong Tao believes that it can be tried, anyway, there are alliances outside to protect it, and it can be changed if it is not successful.

Moreover, Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu's ideas are also very consistent with their own ideas. How to manage the country? If conditions permit, they have to try it. Just like doing research, they can prove the actual effect of a thing through continuous practice. In the past, they tried it alone, but now someone has finally learned it and is ready to use their own wisdom to create a new national model. Why not?

Industrial! Hong Tao gave the round-headed steel-shelled steamship a name and suggested that Wen Xiaoqi should not be demolished. After it completed its mission, he would build a special boat platform for it in the south bank shipyard of Sun City, fix it on it, and become a monument to the beginning of an era. Let future children see what spirit their parents used to struggle on the road of technology. This ship is not so much about industrial products, but rather a large handicraft. Most of the entire ship is made by various hammers.

As for the performance of the Industrial, it can sail normally in the sea, and it is no problem to have a bigger storm. The lower center of gravity makes this ship with a not-excellent shape much more stable than most sailing warships. However, its navigation is a bit terrible. It can only run out of eight knots under pressure working state, which lasts only twenty minutes. If it is replaced by normal pressure drive, there are only a little more than five knots, which is not much faster than the original old boiler and paddle wheel.

"It's still a waste..." Wen Xiaoqi, who has always been very sensitive to the ship, was disappointed. The machine he had spent more than ten years to make was not as good as Fengsai, which was a huge blow to him.

"You can't say that, your opinion is too one-sided. When any new technology first appeared, it will not be very good. When Uncle Qi first casted the cannon, eight out of the ten cannons exploded, and the remaining two were not far away. Look at what the cannon he built now has become? Don't be discouraged and improve it slowly. Besides, I think its performance is already very good. Running slowly is not a big problem, nor is it just a steam engine problem." Hong Tao was not really comforting Wen Xiaoqi. He was very satisfied with the ship, not an ordinary feeling, but watching the data collected by the craftsmen during the voyage, very well satisfied.

Since the output power of the steam engine cannot be calculated, the coal consumption per horsepower kilometer can only be calculated, so I can only use the stupid method of actual measurement. Although the method is stupid, the result is good. The Industrial Airlines sailed this time with a full load displacement, loaded five tons of water and fifteen tons of coal. Under normal pressure cruising, the coal consumption per kilometer is only about 30 kilograms. The 15 tons of coal loaded on the ship can theoretically travel 500 kilometers, which is much better than Hong Tao's expectations.

If we calculate based on this coal consumption, the steamship has initially possessed the ability to sail from ocean. When the coal water load reaches half of the displacement, the range can be nearly doubled. By improving the shape of the hull, the efficiency of the steam engine will become larger and larger. It is not a dream to fly directly to the Victory Islands or even the Carl Fort. Besides, Hong Tao did not expect to completely replace the sails. The memory in his mind told him that there is another way to allow the steam engine to get enough buffering period for the steam engine in his childhood to grow up slowly in practice.

"Look, this broken ship was built by you. It was a round head and a fat man. Even if it was equipped with three masts, it would not be much faster. Also, don't forget that we are full of loads and we can run out of this level against the wind. It is already good to be able to run out of this level." To comfort people, we must be reasonable and well-founded. The process of comfort is actually a process of persuasion. Hong Tao began to explain the facts and reason.

"Even if it is changed to a Virginia-class ship type, it will not be improved by a few sections..." It is not easy to convince Wen Xiaoqi on the issue of shipbuilding, mainly because you can't fool him. Without careful calculations, he can report the approximate data by thinking alone, which is not much different from the actual data.

"Have you ever thought about it? You can install one or two shorter masts on the ship, equipped with an easier-to-operate upward slanting sail. When you are facing the wind, you can use a steam engine to push the ship forward. At other times, you can raise the sail and drive the ship together with the steam engine. This not only increases the ship, but also increases the range. What do you think?" The mixed use of sails and steam engines is Hong Tao's trick. Similarly, this time it was still plagiarism. This trick is not the name Hong. When steam engines were just used to drive ships in the 19th century, they also had the problem of insufficient power and slow sailing. The solution at that time was to let the steam engine and sail exist at the same time, give the steam engine continuous practice and the opportunity to improve according to the situation, and then officially eliminate the sails.

"...You are really good at making do with it. This way of building a boat will definitely improve a lot, but my boat is still a sailboat!" Wen Xiaoqi understood and calculated clearly. The method Hong Tao said could indeed solve the current problem, but he was not satisfied. His ideal was to build a boat that did not require sails and was even better than sailboats.

"You are so mean! You won't die next year. You won't study it slowly, and you will improve it slowly? With your ability, I believe that the kind of ship you mentioned will be built soon, at least I can see it alive. Okay, don't grind your teeth with me, think about letting the ship run, unless there is really a sun god. What you need to do now is not to be discouraged, but to carefully count every data, improve this machine as much as possible, and lay the foundation for future progress." People who are purely skilled are often stubborn, because without the spirit of not turning back when hitting the south wall, they can't withstand the test of failures again and again. At this time, Hong Tao, who is reasonable, needs to enlighten the rhythm of hitting the south wall, so that the rhythm of hitting the south wall can change, or continue to hit it in another place.
