Wang Du said: "Before we talk about shipping, you need to understand one thing, that is, our current steel plant is very different from the past! Not only is the quality excellent, but the output is also huge. Therefore, the price of this steel is naturally not the same. It will be expensive! We can certainly afford it if we use it to build ships!"
The three of them were stunned.
Wang Du said: "For example, the steel knife you mentioned, we only provide the imperial court with one tael of silver, that's the reason!"
The three of them were all shocked that such a precious sword only cost one or two taels of silver! How much does it cost?
Wang Du said: "If we can build it, it is also an extremely expensive thing! The shipyard alone invested a huge amount of money! But finally some results have been achieved. The armored ship has been built and is being debugged overtime. It will be commissioned soon." You can go into the water! Otherwise, you will be sorry for Master Huang’s money! This shipyard is also the factory director Song and the factory director. I have been there many times, so I know more!"
"This iron-clad ship is a drawing provided by Master Huang, so there is no worry of sinking. Moreover, this iron-clad ship is not rowed by humans, but is equipped with a large steam engine. As long as you add coal, it can start on its own day and night! It is fast. , regardless of the favorable and adverse circumstances!"
The three of them looked at each other as if they were listening to a book from heaven!
It does not require manpower and can run by itself by burning coal. This... is simply a fantasy!
The three of them even suspected that Wang Du was talking while drinking.
Wang Du also knew that the three of them had a hard time accepting Wang Du's
"When you see the steam engine tomorrow, you will know that I am not bragging!"
The three nodded.
Li Guo asked: "Uncle Wang, why did Master Huang spend a million taels to build this iron ship?"
Wang Du smiled and said: "Of course this is of great use! This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people! Why do we people always have a bad life? It's not the land that is causing trouble!
For example, our Shaanxi province has barren land, little land and lack of water. But with this iron ship, we can get out of Shaanxi. There is so much fertile land overseas that you can’t even plant it, so why bother in such a poor place? Struggling to survive! "
The king stopped laughing and said seriously: "Your Majesty and Master Huang have a far-sighted vision. They have worked hard for the people of the world and spent huge sums of money just to let more people live a good life. This steam iron ship embodies the passion of the emperor and the wise ministers. Hope! We should all be grateful!"
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and their expressions became solemn!
Although there was not much conversation today, every word touched the hearts of the three of them!
At the same time, they all felt a sense of admiration for His Majesty, Empress, and Huang Xiao, whom they had never met before!
Facing such a holy emperor and such a wise minister, how could they not be willing to fully assist him!
Wang Du said: "Actually, compared to the iron ship, there is another thing, and that is the magic method! It's just limited to the confidentiality regulations, so I can't tell you more. If you are lucky enough to see it, you can know what kind of magical power Master Huang has! Let me tell you this, although the world is big, no one is the enemy of Dahuang Zhuang Yihe!"
The three of them were very curious and asked questions again and again.
Wang Du said: "It's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't say it."
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly said: "Brother Wang, do you think the three of us have any special talents?"
Wangdu was stunned, looked at it, and said: "I am a straight person, so don't blame me for not noticing it!"
All three of them laughed.
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Take it! We don't know three Chinese characters, and we don't mention martial arts, but the empress and the Marquis asked us to come to Beijing by name. Do you think we will be unreliable?"
Wang Du was suddenly shocked and said in a voiceless voice: "Oh, I didn't know about this! You were summoned by name by the empress and Master Huang! The factory just said that you are fellow Shaanxi fellows! Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Of course I don't dare to deceive my elder brother. Just ask your elder sister-in-law about this!"
Just at this moment, Mrs. Wang came out carrying a wooden tray.
"Stop drinking and eat some food!"
The four of them thanked them and accepted.
Sister-in-law Wang asked: "Zhang Xianzhong, what are you asking me about?"
Wang Du said: "Zhang Xianzhong said that they were specially summoned to the capital by His Majesty and the Young Master."
Sister-in-law Wang nodded and said, "Yes, I was specially summoned to Beijing to meet the saint. What's the matter?"
Wang Du sighed: "This must be Master Huang's magical power. I think the three of you are not mortals. It's disrespectful!"
Sister-in-law Wang said: "Isn't that right? You didn't know it in the factory. Today our Dahuang Village has several waves of talents from all over the Ming Dynasty. They were all summoned by the empress and the young master."
Zhang Xianzhong and the others were moved in their hearts.
Li Hongji asked: "Sister-in-law, do you know who they are?"
Sister-in-law Wang said: "When I was handing over the task, I heard that some of these people were in their forties or fifties, some were in their teens, and the youngest was only fourteen years old! It is said that they are all Jinshi masters or scholars, and some are There is a prefect!"
Wang Du said: "You can't belittle yourselves. We Shaanxi fellows can't be weaker than others! I am born with talents that will be useful!"
Zhang Xianzhong perked up, and then smiled and said: "Brother Wang is well-spoken, and his knowledge must be excellent!"
Wang Du smiled modestly, and Sister-in-law Wang said, "What a great guy! If I hadn't forced him to learn every day, he wouldn't even be a team leader!"
The three of them remembered the rules in the army and understood clearly that promotion in the factory must be the same as in the army, and knowledge must be assessed.
Li Guo said: "Uncle Wang, tell us what magical means you have?"
Wang Du pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will tell you briefly. You are not outsiders if you are called by the Marquis. You will definitely have the opportunity to meet me in the future. I am not breaking the rules, but you are not allowed to spread the word. I’ll report it later, it should be fine.”
As he spoke, he glanced at his wife.
Mrs. Wang got up, collected the bowls and chopsticks, and went back to her room.
When the three of them saw this, they were immediately shocked by Dahuang Village's confidentiality measures!
Even a loving couple cannot know about it, and after talking about it, they have to report it.
Wang Du explained: "Jiannu once sent people to Dahuang Village to spy on secrets. They were discovered a few days ago. Our Dahuang Village is where the most important weapons of the country are studied, so the confidentiality measures have been strengthened a lot!
If this knowledge is spread to Jiannu or Fanbang, it will definitely cause heavy casualties to our Ming soldiers in the future. Although these few have just entered Dahuang Village, they must follow it and do not reveal the secrets of Dahuang Village at will in front of outsiders. "
The three of them nodded in assurance.
Wang Du said: "I participated in assembling a machine two days ago! It is a machine that can carry people to fly, and its name is an airplane!"
Zhang Xianzhong, Li Hongji, and Li Guo all stood up in shock.
"You can fly! Fly with people? How is this possible!!" Zhang Xianzhong said in shock.
Wangdu smiled and said, "This was developed by Master Huang, so there is nothing impossible! He is a sage appointed by Taizu, a banished immortal in the world! He must have great supernatural powers!"
