[Qing Chuan] Koi Seven Brothers is a group pet

Yinzhen has always been an unconvinced person.

Even though he knew about Yinyou's ability to swim, he still wasn't discouraged. Instead, he changed his clothes from the next day and went to the naval camp to study incognito.

Also went to Longkodo.

Compared with taking care of the seventh elder brother, taking care of the fourth elder brother is much easier. Even with the amount of training, Long Kedo still worked hard, which made Yinzhen nod secretly.

In fact, Yinyou also wants to go together.

It's a pity that for the safety of the fourth elder brother, Dai Jiayingshan stopped the seventh elder brother's plan without hesitation.

Yinyou could only give up resentfully.

But he didn't give up completely, he secretly found a few seagulls, invited them to visit the barracks, and take a look at the situation of the fourth brother by the way.

The strange thing is that the seagulls always go and never return.

In the end, even Yinyou shouted in every possible way, but not a single seagull was willing to approach.

Yinyou is one hundred and eleven thousand doubts.

It wasn't until Yinzhen, who was tanned, came back that Yinyou learned that there was still an activity of shooting seagulls with a slingshot in the barracks.

Yinyou: ...

Yinzhen clicked his tongue in amazement: "Some people said that because they hunted a lot of seagulls, they were basically invisible in the barracks. As a result, the fourth brother shot more than a dozen in one go in the first few days!"

After a pause, Yinzhen added: "Seagull meat is delicate, soft and tender, very similar to pigeon meat, and tastes good."

Yinyou: ………(ΩДΩ)!

He screamed in his heart: Seagull——! ! !

No wonder the seagulls didn't pay attention to me afterwards, I'm afraid I thought I and my fourth brother were collaborating to hunt, right?Yinyou's whole body is listless.

Yinzhen didn't know what his younger brother was sad about.

He thought it was because Yinyou couldn't see him, so he hugged his younger brother considerately and tenderly, and it was rare that he came to sleep on the same bed.

The next day Yinzhen went to the barracks again.

Yinyou didn't dare to think of a way to visit his fourth brother now, he chose... to do business.

No!Before that, Yinyou felt that there was another problem.

Thinking of the harsh environment he saw when he visited the fleet last time, he couldn't help feeling a little worried: Can the fourth brother survive such a day?

Yinyou purposely approached Dai Jiayingshan, and asked them about their last trip to sea: "Uncle, did you live in the cabin when you went to sea?"

Dai Jiayingshan was a little puzzled: "That's right."

Yinyou took a deep breath, looked at Dai Jiayingshan as if looking at a hero: "It's really embarrassing for Uncle, to be able to..."

Dai Jiayingshan was confused at first.

Later, knowing what he said from the thoughts of the seventh elder brother, he immediately laughed out loud: "What is the seventh elder brother thinking?"

Yinyou blinked: "Isn't it?"

Dai Jiayingshan laughed dumbfounded: "Of course it's impossible."

He simply took Seventh Brother and others to visit the ship again, and Yinyou and the others realized that they went the wrong way last time to avoid the steward, and walked down the stairs to the residence of the low-ranking sailors. Well, in fact, there are a lot of rooms in the upper part of the hull.

Everything from dorms to boardrooms to watchtowers.

The dormitories here are usually for two or one person. Through the portholes, you can see the blue sea and the seagulls passing by from a distance. The bright and clean appearance is completely different from the dark and cold cabin dormitories.

Yinyou opened his eyes wide: "Isn't the difference too big?"

Dai Jiaying shrugged her shoulders: "Our ships in the Qing Dynasty are not bad. At least the sailors have fixed salaries and settlement allowances. I met many ships of Europa merchants overseas. They all use the black slaves they bought as the cheapest ships. work."

Yinyou shook his head: "It's completely different."

He curled his lips: "To compare, you have to compare better. Isn't it ridiculous to compare soldiers with slaves opposite? It seems that they are only a little better than slaves..."

Dai Jiaying wanted to refute, but felt quite reasonable.

He smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's also related to the ship. You see, the size of our big ship is extremely large. After removing the necessary resources and artillery, the remaining small part can be used as a place to stay. If there is no difference, everyone is exactly the same. How do you distinguish between high and low levels? Where does the motivation come from?"

This is also true.

Yinyou couldn't think of a way to expand the ship ten times immediately, so he pouted sullenly: "Then what about the food? Uncle, what did you eat at that time?"

Dai Jiayingshan sighed when she thought of this.

He smiled and replied: "When I first went to sea, I ate pretty well, but as time went on, the types of food gradually decreased."

"Is there no island on the way to replenish?"

"Yes, there are." Dai Jiayingshan laughed dumbfoundedly: "We will stop when we encounter islands with people, and replenish fresh water, vegetables and fruits, and staple food, but there is a joke in the middle."

"joke?"

"... Brother Seven, did you ever know about bread?"

"Yes, the one the missionaries like very much."

"That's right, the slave was fooled once when he went to sea last time, and it was about this bread." Dai Jiaying smiled helplessly, and rubbed his nose: "Has Seventh Brother ever eaten bread?"

Yinyou shook his head.

Dai Jiaying answered with a smile: "The servant and Master Nalan went to taste the bread on purpose when they left the capital. The bread tasted soft and fluffy, and the dim sum with the aroma of freshly baked bread was like steamed buns. Anyway, it was very suitable for our appetite. It's just that . . . the bread outside is not like that at all.”

Yinyou became interested now, and looked at Dai Jiayingshan without blinking.

Dai Jiayingshan said in detail: "The local people traded bread that was as hard as a stone. Although it is also called bread, this kind of bread is made of a little white bread flour, wheat bran, chestnuts or beans. It is also very common to have powder and even sawdust mixed in it.”

He shrugged: "It's as hard as a rock."

After a pause, Dai Jiayingshan added: "This is not an adjective, but a fact. If you encounter a villain, holding such a piece of bread can directly smash someone to death. Such rumors are not uncommon on the continent of Europa."

Yinyou's jaw was about to drop to the ground.

Dai Jiaying thought about those days, and he couldn't help rubbing his chin: "We had to cook the bread into porridge, or soak it in soup to eat it. The servant lost more than 20 pounds during that time." Jin, if I didn’t meet other islands and buy normal food later, I might not be able to survive.”

Yinyou swallowed his saliva.

He felt scary just thinking about it, and at the same time, Yinyou also felt infinite worries: "Fourth brother...fourth brother, he..." How do you live?

Thinking of a poor fourth brother who was about to starve to death in a place he didn't know, Yinyou's eyes were full of tears, and he was so anxious that he wanted to take his fourth brother back to Beijing.

Dai Jiaying laughed heartily.

He changed the subject: "Of course we changed it after we came back."

Dai Jiaying said in detail, wrestling her fingers: "Marinated and smoked food is a must, yogurt cheese, various bean pastes and various dried vegetables are also necessary, and there are also refined dried rice noodles, baked noodles, and radish puree. Shoushan food (compressed biscuits), or red dates and glutinous rice are made into balls, and an ice cellar is added to the bottom of the boat..."

This is the hungry man.

Listening to his uncle's eloquent words, Yinyou's worried mood gradually subsided. After confirming that there was no problem here, he finally remembered his purpose of coming to Tianjin Port.

Yinyou and his brothers went to see the progress of the steam instrument.

High-temperature steam is dangerous, not to mention how many times it leaked during the test, even the number of explosions is countless.

Some of the common people living near the barracks thought that what was being done here was artillery experiments, and they even caught many spies in the first place, or foreigners who came to inquire about the progress of the Qing Dynasty's guns, and some of them were rebels.

Since then, the experimental site has been moved to a more deserted place.

Of course, even so, there is still progress.For example, steam can already pass through the set route stably, and even the craftsmen have figured out the piston design, so that the steam passing through the fixed route pushes the piston and then pulls the runner, achieving the effect of pushing down and moving forward.

The problem is that this thing loves to explode.

At present, due to frequent explosions and low efficiency, the entire project is temporarily suspended.

Shutdown is shut down.

Today, when the brothers came to visit, the craftsmen are still busy handing in their latest answers.

Seeing the charcoal fire ignited and the machine roaring, the elder brother Yinti, who was seeing such a spectacular sight for the first time, opened his eyes wide in shock.

Yinyou observed carefully.

The manager of the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of this research was full of enthusiasm: "Reporting to Brother Seven, I feel that success is just around the corner!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang.

The iron pot in the distance shook, and then sank, turning into orange blossoms on the spot, the thick iron skin was torn apart, and the sky and fields were covered with fog.

While being spectacular, it also made Yinyou and others gasp.

Yinti subconsciously protected his younger brothers behind him, and glared at the boastful manager of the Ministry of Industry: "Is this what you said...?"

The manager of the Ministry of Industry blushed.

He smiled awkwardly, and added stammeringly: "It should, it should be soon, soon... right?"

The voice is as guilty as it is guilty.

Brothers were silent, Yinyou looked at the shattered iron cans, and then looked at his composure, as if he didn't know how many times he had experienced it, and even started to restore the scene in an orderly manner. The artisans who rescued the wounded didn't know what to say for a while what is good.

He silently pushed back the deadline for success.

At the same time, Yinyou also persuasively persuaded: "It's okay to slow down the research speed, you must remember to put safety first!"

No wonder others thought they were building cannons.

That's it?Yinyou even felt that it was more powerful than ordinary cannons.

The craftsmen should agree again and again.

Yinyou could see the disapproval on their faces, obviously obsessed with these researches, and had already vaguely expected that what he did might change the Qing Dynasty, and even for craftsmen who were famous in history, getting results is the only way to achieve success. most important.

As for safety...

Can it be more important than living forever?

Yinti also felt his scalp tingling.

He even felt that the younger brothers should be pulled away now, as far away as possible.

The corner of Yinyou's mouth twitched for a moment.

Seeing the craftsman staring at the exploded tin can out of the corner of his eye, and not in the mood to talk to himself anymore, Yinyou shook his head, waved his hand and let the craftsman go, and turned back to pull Yinsi, Yinzhen and Yin'e to turn over. Look at recent drawings and think about how to solve the problem.

Yinti, on the other hand, looked outside nervously, fearing that those crazy craftsmen would conduct another experiment.

Yinyou and the others were deep in thought.

They looked at the drawings carefully, but they didn't see any problems.To be able to erupt such power means that the kinetic energy must be very high, but...why didn't he obey orders?

Looking at Yinyou, who was puzzled by the picture, he simply recruited the manager of the Ministry of Industry and said: "Let's see if we don't boil the pot of water again? It's also made of iron furnace, and there is no such thing as a stove that boils water every three days. Blow it up?"

The manager of the Ministry of Industry was stunned.

He complied, and hurriedly followed Seventh Brother's instructions and did not say anything. He also called a group of craftsmen over, and they gathered together to figure out why the kettle was not a fryer, and the steamer always exploded.

The kettle whined.

Puffs of hot air came out of the spout, and everyone stared straight at it. A craftsman mentioned, "Maybe it is stronger that the one-piece iron is stronger?"

"will not."

"And we use the best materials."

Yinyou stared straight at the kettle.

He always felt that the design on the drawing was very close to the kettle, but there was something wrong.

Is it...a material problem?wrong.

Is... there are more water inlets?no.

Is it... the air outlet is narrow?no.

After eliminating a series of problems, Yinyou fell into deep thought.

He stared at the boiling kettle until an attendant stepped forward to open the lid of the teapot and added a little cold water into it.

A flash of inspiration flashed by.

Yinyou suddenly found a place with a different design, and when the kettle boiled again, he called the craftsmen over: "Look at the kettle, do you find anything different?"

The craftsmen stared round their eyes.

It's just that after a long time, they didn't see the problem that Brother Seven said.

On the contrary, Yinhu let out a low snort.

He pointed hesitantly at the lid of the pot: "Brother Seven, is this what you're talking about?"

Yinyou nodded.

He clicked on the pot lid: "Look here. The design of the drawing is almost an enlarged version of the kettle, but unlike the top of the completely closed iron can, the lid of the kettle can be opened, and even when the lid is tightly closed, there is enough water beside it." Gaps allow heat to escape."

The words of the people who were discussing fiercely stopped.

They stared at the kettle, and sure enough, the hot water was boiling, the tightly closed lid was shaking slightly, and wisps of hot air escaped from the corners.There was another craftsman who ignored the scalding of his hands. He suddenly lifted the lid of the pot, staring at the gushing heat in a daze.

The lid can be opened, and the spout is only a part of the steam outlet.When the volume of the steam instrument is dozens of times larger than that of the kettle, the amount of steam inside must also be a terrible value, but the top of the steam instrument is completely fixed and locked, and there is no channel for the rest of the steam to escape...

The craftsmen murmured: "That's how it is."

They only thought about adding water inlets at the bottom and air outlets at the sides, but they didn't find that most of the steam was trapped in the iron tank. When the boiling heat accumulated to a certain extent, an explosion was inevitable. up.

Maybe this is the trap of the kettle?

The muttering craftsmen with their heads down couldn't sit still, they stood up abruptly, spread their legs and rushed outside.
