"Stop, who are you?"
As soon as they stepped forward, several people stopped them at the door.
Ji Hongluan folded her arms and said, "You are so stupid that you don't even recognize the Governor of Dongchang?"
"Hurry up and inform your adults!"
Probably frightened by Ji Hongluan's momentum, the other party hesitated for a moment and then hurried to report.
But not long after, the man came out in a hurry and said, "My master said it is not convenient to see guests, so please come back another day."
"Why come another day? My master stayed up all night to come to your place, only to be driven back?"
Ji Hongluan rolled up her sleeves and said, "I have to go in and see how inconvenient it is. I can't even invite you in for a cup of tea!"
Those people were instantly alert, and the swords in their hands were ready to be drawn out at any time, as if the war was about to break out.
At this moment, Xiao Chen glared at her and softly dissuaded her: "Hong Luan, don't be rude."
Then he turned around and said, "Let's go first."
Xiao Chen strode to leave, and several people caught up with him in confusion. Ji Hongluan was a little aggrieved.
"He won't let you in. That's not your style."
"What's more, we came here for something this time, and he turned us away!"
The more Ji Hongluan thought about it, the angrier she became, but she saw Xiao Chen suddenly stumble.
No, this is not the way to leave.
He looked at Xiao Chen blankly: "Don't you want to go back?"
Xiao Chen hummed softly: "Just leaving like this, do you think this is my behavior?"
"Since we're not allowed to enter from the front, let's take a different approach and catch him by surprise!"
Fuzhou Shipyard is surrounded by water on three sides, and the waterway is unguarded.
"Yuluo, Commander Jin, you two stay here for now. Ji Hongluan and I will go take a look first."
The two of them had good dexterity skills. They floated directly across the water with a flick of the water, and soon landed firmly on the splint in the distance.
Yu Luo was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that your martial arts would be so powerful."
Jin Chengzhong was also so happy that he couldn't help but smile: "It's really unexpected."
"I thought I needed to train him hard, but I found out that it was all my fault."
Xiao Chen is a smart person, and after practicing outside, he is not only vigilant but also knows how to advance and retreat. This is knowledge that cannot be learned in a greenhouse like the palace.
Ji Hongluan took a look at the ripples on the water.
When he tapped his toes, the ripples in the lake were actually a few smaller than his own!
Ji Hongluan curled her lips and held her arms proudly: "How come your Qing Gong has improved again?"
It seems that Xiao Chen will never encounter bottlenecks when practicing martial arts.
Xiao Chen shrugged slightly, "There is no way, strength will follow."
"Besides, Qinggong is a good way to save your life. Naturally, you have to learn it thoroughly. It is best to directly reach the level of Yun Zhonghe."
Although that kid's overall strength is not good, his Qinggong skills really make me fly away like wild geese, riding the wind, which is very enviable.
Ji Hongluan pursed her lips and said, "Okay, discussing this with you is nothing more than self-humiliation."
"Now that you've come in, do you know where Du Wei from Fuzhou Shipyard is?"
Nonsense, they are new here, how would he know?
"Let's take a walk and take a look at the shipbuilding quality of Fuzhou Shipyard."
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and walked in front leisurely.
Ji Hongluan followed behind him, clinging to the people in all directions.
I don’t know where I wandered, but I saw several large ships parked on an open, turbid water in the distance.
Although it looks quite big and has a somewhat majestic posture inside, it is all fake.
When you look closer, you can see that the hull is made like a merchant ship or a passenger ship.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "It seems that we are in the wrong place. The Fuzhou Shipyard is nothing more than this."
"I said that these ships might not be able to hold even half a stick of incense once they encounter a storm on the sea."
"If the boat capsizes, all the soldiers on the boat will also sink in the sea."
Just when he was filled with disappointment, he suddenly heard a cry from behind him: "Who are you!"
Hearing the noise, they turned around and saw a small soldier in uniform.
Many people were also attracted by this sound and surrounded them one by one.
"This is also an important place for shipbuilding. How did you show up?"
This is still considered an important place for shipyards. Are there any secrets worthy of being discovered?
Xiao Chen was unable to complain.
Ji Hongluan suddenly pulled her arm, looking alert, and her other hand was already touching the sword at her waist.
"Okay, don't be so quick to wield swords and swords. Just say it nicely."
Xiao Chen coughed twice, raised his chest and raised his head, his eyes as bright as a torch.
"Listen up, everyone. I am the boatman invited by you Du Wei to guide you in improving the hull."
"Appearing here is naturally under Du Wei's order."
Everyone looked at each other, "Is this happening? I've never heard of it."
"I'm not sure. Seeing as he is so young and well-dressed, he doesn't seem to be someone who understands the structure of ship hulls. He could be fooling people..."
Everyone was whispering to each other, and one of them stood up and tried: "Since you are also here to give us guidance on shipbuilding, you might as well share your opinions on improving the hull."
It’s over, it’s time to get dressed.
Ji Hongluan stroked her forehead and felt depressed.
It seems that this fight will have to be fought after all!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen cleared his throat and said loudly: "The first thing is the shape of your ship's hull."
"A warship needs to be heavy, stable, and flexible. These three elements are indispensable!"
"The bow and stern of your ship adopt a streamlined structure. Although it can greatly reduce the resistance of the ship in the water, it lacks a certain degree of stability and cannot withstand the test of sea storms."
"In my opinion, the bow of the ship should be a streamlined wave-breaking structure, and the stern should be made into a square shape to enhance the stability of the ship on the water."
Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the ship.
A worker holding a hammer was unconvinced and said, "If you modify it in this way, although it will enhance the stability, it will also reduce the speed."
"It may not be a wise move to tear down the east wall and mend the west wall!"
He glared at Xiao Chen with disdain.
Xiao Chen chuckled: "What if we add a row of propellers to the stern of the ship?"
"Using the thrust of water to push the propeller can not only increase the speed, but also indirectly save a lot of manpower!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was filled with people.
"Wonderful, what a great idea!"
"You can't tell, but this pretty boy is quite capable."
Most of them present were old masters with more than ten years of experience, but Xiao Chen's few words made them amazed.
In just a few words, the triple problems of stable speed and manpower consumption are solved at once!
Ji Hongluan was extremely surprised and silently came to Xiao Chen's side: "Sir, you actually understand the structure of the ship's hull?"
"Are you kidding me? Isn't this just a matter of brains?"
Xiao Chen said it so easily, which made Ji Hongluan have some self-doubt.
Is she brainless?
