"What if only one side of the plank was poured?" Liu Hong gradually followed the good path.

"But how do you connect the two decks?" Mo Huan replied.

"Hehe, since the single-sided planks can be poured, and the two sides of the planks are connected and still poured with molten iron, isn't it possible?"

Liu Hongjian himself has never been a blacksmith, let alone a welder, but these things are almost all connected, although he has never eaten this bowl of rice, but after all, he has seen a pig run.

"This ...... Xia Guan thought it was okay to give it a try. Mo Huan frowned and said.

Limited by the existing technology of the Ming Dynasty, Mo Huan, even if he is the heir of the Mo family, has never thought of such a unique approach.

It may be difficult to make a mold for an entire ship, but there is nothing theoretically wrong with dividing the hull into several parts, pouring them with molds, and then pouring them with molten iron.

This method will inevitably cause unevenness in the joint, and more polishing is required in the later stage.

It's just that this kind of problem is in the hands of the Ming craftsmen? Daming doesn't say anything else, there are many people, and the joints are uneven, so it's good to grind the iron over there.

After figuring out this problem, Mo Huan's heart immediately became excited, and he couldn't wait to find someone to try it immediately.

Liu Hong gradually knew that Mo Huan had already moved his heart, and he didn't have the heart to chat with them, so he said hello and took someone back to the capital.

Time flies, after the Double Ninth Festival, the weather gradually cools, and Xishan ushers in autumn again.

At the end of September, the county palace was lively again, and Liu Hong gradually made up for the late wedding for Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan in the county palace.

Liu Honggradually only sent invitations to old friends as usual, and the Duke of Qianguo rushed from Yungui to the heavens.

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China were not invited, there were still more than 20 tables at the banquet, but half of them were bearded and white-flowered uncles.

Shanxi's Gu Datong and Fang Xing also rushed over, plus the old man Liang Yangliang of Jinyi Wei, the old man Han Yuhan, the second assistant of the cabinet, and his father Old Man Liu and a large number of his 'nursing home' staff.

Although there are Praetorian Guards stationed outside Xishan, and there are layers of guards in the county king's mansion on the mountainside of Xishan, there are still uninvited guests on the wedding day - the current saint Zhu Cihong appeared in casual clothes.

The result was quite unfortunate, Zhu Cihong came in vertically, went out horizontally, and was drugged into a mess.

In order to get a little bit of Liu Hongji's domineering spirit, Niu Dabang also married the second room on the same day.

It stands to reason that the rich and noble don't need such a grand etiquette to take a concubine at all, and they can directly pull the sedan chair home to finish the work, but Niu Dabang has learned to keep up with Master Liu in everything, which makes the concubine Qiuyun really beautiful.

Although the bull mallet is only a family member in the county king's mansion, it has the title of viscount, and there is a special set of courtyards in the county king's mansion.

The master and servant married at the same time, which made Chang Yu and other subordinates who like to join in the fun very happy, and a group of people first made trouble in the cave room of the cow stick mallet, and the cow stick mallet almost got drunk.

Then he went to look for Liu Daguan, but Liu Daguan was experienced and went undercover among the people in the cave room, and finally Chang Yu was also carried back.

In October, it rained in the autumn rain for half a month in the capital, and the temperature plummeted, and many people even began to look for cotton clothes.

Ordnance Institute, Firearms Research Room, Night.

Gunpowder craftsman Zhou Hengyi has not left the armory for more than a month.

More than a month ago, the king of Anguo County came to the ordnance institute to explore, and several people had vowed not to go down the mountain until they developed mercury thunderate, but now it seems that they are really a little overwhelmed.

A few days ago, a few colleagues had quietly returned home on their own words, and now only Zhou Hengyi and Meng Zhongliang were still guarding the test bench.

The table was full of bottles and jars, and for more than a month, they tried to cross-test with various acids and mercury, and the two tried and failed countless times.

Now, they have to admit that maybe they really aren't that material.

"Old Meng, do you still have wine?" Zhou Hengyi put down the test tube in his hand and said to Meng Zhongliang, who was still doing the test.

"It's a lot, it's still a good wine from Song Stallhead." Meng Zhongliang got up, stretched his sour waist, walked to a corner of the research room, took out two jars of wine in the cupboard, and shook it in front of Zhou Hengyi.

"Just drinking here? It's not in order, right? Meng Zhongliang sat beside Zhou Hengyi and said.

"Where else can you go at night, if you can freeze to death outside, let's just drink something here, so I can warm up." Zhou Hengyi seemed to be addicted to alcohol, and when he opened the stopper, he took a big sip.

"Hiss-what kind of wine is this, why is it so strong!" Zhou Hengyi grinned, Rao is old wine worm also felt that this jar of wine was a bit strong, and his throat was almost like a fire.

"Hahaha, look at your virtue, this is Song Stalltou's private collection.

I heard that it is a special supply of Xishan Shanghe Distillery, it seems to be called what alcohol, what does alcohol mean, it is the goblin in the wine, can it not be strong? Meng Zhongliang sneered at Zhou Hengyi, then took a sip as well, and then grinned.

"The day before yesterday, the prince sent someone to inquire about our progress, we have received the great favor of the prince, and now the prince finally has a place where the prince can use us, why do you say we are so cowardly?"

Zhou Hengyi ignored the jokes of his colleagues, took another sip of alcohol, shook his head, and said.

This wine is a bit of a top!

"Who's to say it isn't! My family's baby is now studying in the College of Engineering, I heard that I was sent to Shandong to explore what, my family's land is also divided by the prince, and our salary, go to ...... Where can I find ...... Look for...... Looking for such a good old ...... Old...... Master! ”

Meng Zhongliang's tongue no longer obeyed, and he stammered.

"Let's ...... We can't say anything like the old grandson...... Also...... I also want to help the prince ...... What kind of mercury is that bullshit thunder...... Build it out. Zhou Hengyi not only began to disobey his tongue, but even his eyes began to spin.

"That's it...... It's just, let's not ...... Can't be that deflated...... Come,, ——, you...... How did you fall? ”

Meng Zhongliang wanted to pat Zhou Hengyi on the shoulder with the wine jar, but his eyes had already ghosted, and he didn't pat it several times.

Meng Zhongliang mocked Zhou Heng for a word or two, poured another sip of alcohol, and then fell unconscious on the side of the table with a flutter.

The jar of liquor, which had most of the remaining alcohol, lay on the test bench, and the overflowing alcohol seeped into the whole of the test bench......

The night is getting deeper, and the old Li Tou, the porter of the ordnance station, came out with his neck shrunk to get up at night, he squinted in a daze, and suddenly asked a smell of mush.

Lao Li Tou opened his eyes, shuddered, put on his pants, followed the source of the mush, and walked straight to the front of the courtyard of the firearms research room.

Seeing a faint fire in the house through the window, Lao Li Tou instantly became sleepy, and he knew that this yard was specially developed for gunpowder......

Oh, my God! ——Lao Li Tou jumped up like a refreshed person.

"It's on fire! Let's put out the fire—"
