Beside the pond, Zhou Jue, Zhou Xueyao, Zhang Xinhan, Lu Yang and others were stunned when they saw the iron boat floating gently on the water.
A ship made of iron can actually float! The facts before us are irrefutable!
Although this is just a model, and although this ship is only made of ordinary thick iron, it is iron after all. Moreover, the power of this ship actually uses a brand-new technology.
Wang Dake introduced next to him: "This iron ship has a dead weight of 232 kilograms and a full load displacement of 0.45 cubic meters. Displacement, this is our new measurement method, which is more intuitive and effective than the traditional one.
The displacement is 0.45 cubic meters, which can be roughly regarded as 0.45 tons or 450 kilograms. Excluding the ship's own weight, it can carry 218 kilograms of cargo.
There is also a power system. According to current tests, two low-level spiritual stones can be used for a day.
And if we keep the same speed and use the formation to drive it, we will consume more than twenty spiritual stones a day. It is almost a tenfold difference."
Zhou Jue looked at the ship's propeller and asked in surprise: "What kind of internal blade machine does this power use?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao nodded.
"What is the inner blade type?" Zhou Xueyao asked curiously. The half month since she came to Zhang's house has opened Zhou Xueyao's horizons. This place is simply another world.
"Well..." Zhang Hao hesitated, looked at the people around him, and immediately decided to dismantle a steam turbine and take a look. Now the Zhang family's steam turbines have begun to be sold, and the Weapon Refining Guild has purchased several units, so the structure of the steam turbine
There’s no need to keep it secret – just because you’ve seen it, doesn’t mean it can be produced!
"Wang Dake, do you have any idle steam turbines? Take one apart."
Wang Dake immediately said: "Master, there is a steam turbine nearby that is being repaired and has been disassembled."
"That's good. Let's go."
When everyone saw the structure of the steam turbine, they were amazed again and again. Even when Zhou Jue watched it for the second time, he was still shocked, and the Zhang family's technology seemed to have improved again.
The current steam turbine is used by the Zhang family themselves, and the blades of the steam turbine are becoming more and more perfect. Now the tops of the blades are no longer open, but are embedded together to form a closed loop.
The structure of the blade itself is no longer straight up and down, but has begun to have a graceful arc. The blades have been finely polished, like a mirror surface.
The only flaw is that these blades are not made of dark iron, but ordinary iron.
"It's really just ordinary iron. Why use ordinary iron? In the past, black iron was used, right?" Zhou Jue asked.
"Because it is enough." Zhang Hao explained, "The current operating temperature of steam turbines does not exceed 260 degrees, and ordinary iron is sufficient. This can also further reduce costs."
Zhou Xueyao blinked: "How dare you ask for 20 million spirit stones for a machine made of ordinary iron?"
Zhang Hao emphasized: "The starting price is 20 million spiritual stones."
"...Don't your hearts hurt?"
This time, before Zhang Hao had time to speak, Mu Yingying, who had been following him, finally seized the opportunity. She said softly: "Technology is priceless! What is sold here is technology, not materials. Likewise, those who buy steam turbines, buy
It’s also technology, not materials!
As long as the technology is up to standard, you don’t care what other people use to make it!”
"Hmph!" Zhou Xueyao snorted and raised her head slightly, "Then the price of our elixirs will also increase from now on!"
Mu Yingying smiled: "Okay, raise the price and see if you get poked in the back!"
Zhou Xueyao was stunned for a moment, pouting her red lips for a while, and then smiled: "I'm just talking, don't be afraid."
Are you afraid? Mu Yingying is going to fight back.
Zhang Hao spoke quickly, interrupting the little war. "Everyone, this is the so-called 'inner blade'. This kind of machine is very powerful, and there is still a lot of potential worth exploring.
At present, the use of internal blade machines can convert heat, such as high temperatures caused by ground fire, flame arrays, etc., into mechanical power. It can also increase the efficiency of spiritual stones by more than ten times.
In the future, we plan to move this machine to large steel ships to provide powerful power for large ships."
Zhang Xinhan, Lu Yang and other weapon refiners circled around the steam turbine, trying to steal their skills. However, Zhang Hao smiled lightly, not afraid of them 'stealing their skills' at all.
On the one hand, the steam turbine has been sold to the public, and on the other hand, Zhang Hao is confident. These masters of weapon making may be able to imitate the steam turbine, but they lack the basic physical knowledge system, so it is difficult to say what results they can imitate.
If the imitation is unqualified, there is no chance that a 'smooth shaft' accident will occur, in which all the blades will be broken, which is very scary. The non-rotating turbine main shaft is enough to crush an unprepared Yuanyingqi.
Everyone marveled for a while before Zhang Hao ended the visit. Speaking of this visit, it was inevitable to reveal a little bit of technology; but compared to building everyone's confidence, this small contribution was nothing.
The great voyage plan cannot be accomplished by relying solely on the strength of the Zhang family. Zhang Hao must unite more people. And if he wants everyone to firmly believe and support, he must give everyone confidence and show something.
After leaving the base of the Zhang family, everyone was still amazed, and looking back three times, Tie really could make a boat, and the Zhang family seemed to have achieved good results.
Although everything has just begun, this is the first ray of clear spring under the ice. This ray of clear spring flows with hope.
Zhou Jue looked at the sky, turned to Zhang Hao and said: "Brother Shi, things here are almost done, I have to go back to Xinglin Hall. There are still ten days left, there will be an alchemy event, Brother Shi must come."
"Okay, I must go. By the way, Brother Zhou, I accidentally heard Senior Lu Yang say a few days ago that there are not enough flames for alchemy in Xinglin Hall?"
"Oh... this matter is quite troublesome. To put it simply, there is not enough flame to refine ordinary elixirs, especially the Yuan Pei Dan, Qi Nourishing Dan, Qi Replenishing Dan, etc.
Peiyuan Dan and other primary elixirs do not actually require true fire. Using true fire to make elixirs is expensive, inefficient, and costly. Moreover, a cultivator's true fire is limited. Using it for a long time will make you tired and even affect your practice.
.
But if the flames generated by the demon pill are used, the quality is uneven. We found that no two demon pills are exactly the same!
Seeing the production model of the Zhang family, I feel that this Peiyuan Dan lacks a kind of homogeneous strange fire. The requirements for this kind of strange fire are not high, as long as the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials can be refined, it is enough. But it needs to be in sufficient quantity.
Lots and lots, and the quality should be the same.
But we haven't found this kind of flame yet.
In fact, not only Xinglin Hall, Jiuyang Sect, the royal family, and even foreign countries have such problems."
"So what?" Zhang Hao suddenly realized.
Zhou Jue and others were sent away, along with Lu Yang, Zhang Xinhan and others. Regarding the Zhang family's westward development plan and division of interests, everyone also needs to go back and think about it. They need to communicate and discuss with their respective families and sects.
This time, the Zhang family demonstrated their steel shipbuilding ambitions, which also made them feel even heavier pressure.
Compared with the Zhang family, they have almost no advantage. The only weapon refining technology they can come up with is the Xuanzhen Sect! Zhang Hao's identity as a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect makes everyone hate him, but there is nothing they can do.
After seeing everyone off, Zhang Hao also let out a long breath and smiled on his face.
In fact, from the day he woke up from time travel, he has been dancing on the tip of a knife along the way. Zhang Hao is like a skilled chess player, carefully handling each chess piece, trying to achieve balance, and serving the Zhang family.
Seek space for development.
Now, finally on the right track. Zhang Hao was a little tired and relaxed, leaning on the door, smiling and looking quietly into the distance.
While he was thinking, a figure suddenly landed in the sky. Young Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, and looked intently, yo, an old acquaintance - Feng Dongyuan.
As for Feng Dongyuan, when he saw Zhang Hao leaning quietly at the door, obviously waiting for someone, he was a little dazed: "You know I'm coming?"
