People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

Sun Ce once said twice to influence the world.

The first time was potatoes, which indeed affected the whole world and solved the food problem.

The second is printing and improved papermaking.

It also affected the whole world.

Let the production of books and paper explode, and become cheap.

Let the majority of students can afford to read books.

Today is the third time Sun Ce has mentioned a major event affecting the world, so what will it be?

Satisfied to see the curious expressions in everyone's eyes, Sun Ce ordered Ma Jun to say.

"Let's lead the way and let them see what's new this time."

The warship is too huge, so it is not inside the Tiangongyuan.

Sun Ce specially designated a large lake for the Tiangong Institute to use for research.

The level is also top secret.

Sun Ce sent heavy troops to guard.

Anyone but him who dared to enter it was greeted by the sword.

"promise."

Ma Jun arched his hands and walked ahead to lead the way.

Sun Ce followed.

Xun You, Huang Zhong and others followed.

walked for a while.

Everyone came to the west of Shucheng.

There are no people here, only a big lake.

There are two warships floating above.

One was an unusual wooden boat for this era.

Both Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy are in use.

The other is a black lacquered steel warship.

Under the sun's rays, it reflects a dangerous luster.

Xun You, Huang Zhong and others looked calm when they saw the steel warship.

They have long heard that the Tiangong Institute is researching steel warships.

And have already seen the real thing.

Nothing surprising.

"Everyone, under the guidance of your lord, Tiangongyuan has developed an epoch-making warship.

That's right, that steel warship! "

Ma Jun pointed at the steel warship and shouted loudly.

"Steel warship? Epoch-making?"

Jia Xu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Could it be that the thing that the lord said affects the world is the steel warship?

That's a little disappointing.

Although steel warships are stronger than wooden ships.

But there is a fatal flaw.

That is, I can't move.

Iron warships are too heavy.

It is several times that of a wooden boat, and it cannot be blown by the wind or rowed manually.

Even if you barely move.

The speed is not as good as the wooden boat at all, and will be kited to death by the wooden boat.

Ma Jun took the expressions of Jia Xu, Tai Shici and others into his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He knew that it was time for him to pretend!

"I think everyone knows that.

There are only two ways for a ship to sail on water. "

Chapter 248 Steel Battleship

"The first way is by wind power.

You can hang canvas on the boat, use sails, and rely on wind power to propel.

The second way is human.

A few people, dozens of people, or hundreds of people paddle the water to make the boat move. "

Ma Jun paused, looked at Jia Xu, Tai Shici and the others and continued.

"But both approaches have huge flaws.

With the help of wind needs according to the weather.

Only with the wind can the ship move.

Once there is a headwind, the ship is useless.

Using manpower is a huge waste.

And the speed of the ship is not as fast as the wind. "

"Mr. Ma Jun, we all understand these things, so just get straight to the point!"

Tai Shici shouted.

"What's the rush? If you don't explain clearly first, can you understand what I'm going to say later?

Shut your mouth and listen to Ma Jun quietly. "

Sun Ce scolded.

Tai Shici was scared, and shut his mouth and dared not speak.

"Haha."

Xun You, Jia Xu and others laughed when they saw this scene.

"General Ziyi, don't be impatient, I'm going to talk about the key points next."

Ma Jun smiled.

Tai Shici became serious when he heard the words.

Xun You, Jia Xu and others stopped laughing and pricked up their ears.

"Since ancient times, people have not been able to break through these two methods.

want to steer a ship.

Either with the help of wind, or with the help of manpower.

But some time ago, under the cooperation of the lord and me.

A third way of steering a ship was born. "

Ma Jun's face became solemn, his voice became high, and he said loudly.

"This way, whether it's tailwind or headwind, the boat can travel on the water!

No manpower is needed, but the speed is faster than wind power! "

"So arrogant?"

Xun You, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and the others looked solemn and did not dare to neglect.

"This way is to use steam engines to power ships!"

Ma Jun continued to speak loudly.

"Steam engine? What's that?"

Everyone present was puzzled.

Before they asked, Ma Jun had already started to explain.

"Some people may ask what is a steam engine?

Here I briefly explain.

A steam engine is an instrument.

A very awesome device!

It works by converting thermal energy into kinetic energy.

This drives another device.

As for how powerful the steam engine is.

Let us witness the miracle next. "

As Ma Jun said, he waved his big hand and ordered in a deep voice.

"Come on, start the steel warship."

"promise."

More than a dozen staff members of the Tiangong Institute took the lead.
