Chapter 456 Li Chengqian, who destroyed the three views
A nail, a wooden plank, when the nail was driven into the plank, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion, and Liu Min, who was holding a hammer with an inexplicable face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this, what is this for?" Lao Liuhu looked at the nails on the wooden board suspiciously, and Li Chengqian, who was standing with a smile, was full of question marks.
"Don't understand?" Li Chengqian swept over the old boatwright and other people, and pointed to the wooden board with nails nailed: "This board is like water, this nail is like a boat, you see, has this nail fallen?" ”
"This, how can this be the same?" The old shipwright had worry on his face, as if he was worried about Li Chengqian's IQ.
The old boatwright had the impression that the nails in the planks could stand because the planks were real, but water was different, how could water have such great power to 'support' a ship? It's all whimsical, it's just unreasonable!
"The truth of the world is reasonable, and you don't have to care whether the ship with a pointed bottom will sink, as long as the model is made according to the standard." Li Chengqian was too lazy to explain to some ancients what buoyancy is and what water pressure is, this kind of thing has no certain physical basis, and it is useless to say it, so the more you listen, the more confused you become.
"But......," the old shipwright wanted to say.
"No, it's okay, this is the palace order, just wait and do it."
A group of self-righteous guys, always looking at things from their old experience, God knows when Datang will be able to achieve 'modernization'.
"Whoa!" With a strong unwillingness, everyone accepted the matter.
However, compared to the boatwright and others, Liu Min didn't have too many ideas.
When I think of the original bicycle, when the thing was first assembled, no one believed that it was a bicycle that could be ridden, and the two wheels one after the other were simply subverting the worldview.
But in the end, it turned out that this car could be ridden, not only Li Chengqian, but everyone.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this is 'science', Liu Min doesn't know what 'science' is, but he knows not to easily question this prince with the name of 'Zhi Demon'.
Experiences and lessons have taught him again and again that even if one day the prince says: People can fly in the sky. Then, people will definitely be able to fly in the sky, and there is no need to question it, because even if everyone can't fly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to fly.
This idea has always existed in Liu Min's mind, and no one has told him, he is afraid that others will say that he is a crazy person.
But in the near future, his imagination became a reality, Li Chengqian really flew, and he flew very high, although he was not as flexible as those flying birds, but it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could indeed 'fly'.
But this is a later story, the current Liu Min did not expect that day at all, what he is now thinking about is how to appease those anxious shipwrights, how to let them honestly get the boat that Li Chengqian asked for.
Five days passed imperceptibly, and the model of the pointed bottom boat requested by Li Chengqian was made in the grumbling of the craftsmen.
It is a model of a pointed bottom Fu boat, but it is slightly different from the Fu boat, this is a unique ship model of Datang, no one would have thought that the ship could be made like this.
Proportionally, after the ship was officially built, it should be 40 zhang long and 8 zhang wide.
The bottom of the hull is covered with ballast stones, and there are more than 20 compartments on top of the hull that are isolated from each other, and it is said that this is a watertight compartment that can be used to prevent the hull from leaking.
Above the watertight compartment is the cargo compartment, and above that are the sailor's cabin and the crew cabin.
But the boat did not have the position of the oars, which made the boatwrights feel even more that Li Chengqian was pulling calves, how to move forward in the water without oars? Push by people? Or blow by mouth?
"The big guys are all thinking about it, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes down in a while, put this thing in the water and try it, and everything will be clear."
"It's easy to say, except for the clever design of this thing called the watertight cabin, it's a completely failed design, even if it doesn't sink in the water, it will capsize soon, what else to try!" The old boatman muttered under his breath, he had been insisting that the ship was a.
A group of shipwrights and some people who had nothing to do to come to see the excitement gathered together and waited for a while, and the carriage carrying Li Chengqian drove into the courtyard through the front gate.
After Li Chengqian came down and greeted everyone, Liu Min stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, can the experiment begin?" ”
"Hmm." Li Chengqian looked at the model being carried by two men on one side, nodded and said, "Didn't you try it?" ”
Liu Min glared at the old shipwright who wanted to interject and came in, turned his head to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, I will notify you directly after the processing was completed last night, and we haven't had time to try it yet." ”
"Okay, let's find a place to see if this thing works well." Li Chengqian didn't care what those shipwrights thought in private, as long as they made what they wanted.
He was a prince, and he went to argue with a group of shipwrights, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he has lost his identity, anyway, after the model is launched in the water, everything can really be revealed, and it doesn't matter if he can't distinguish it.
A group of people came out of the prison and came to the moat of the inner city of the imperial city, and the accompanying guards tied ropes to the bow and stern of the boat, and hung them down with the same force.
As the model slowly entered the water, everyone held their breath nervously, waiting for the final result.
A group of boatwrights looked extremely nervous, as boatsmiths, although they said that the ship would definitely capsize, but when it was time to launch the water, they still hoped that the boat could stop firmly on the water.
For it must have been made by their own hands, and even if it looked strange, it was like their own child.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the distance of just three or two meters seemed extremely far away, and everyone felt that the guards who had lowered the boat into the water seemed to be doing slow motion.
Finally, the bottom of the model was close to the surface of the water, and at the same time slowly sank into the water .......
A huge cheer rang out in the crowd, and everyone except the boatwrights clapped their hands in celebration, as if they had encountered some great holiday, while the boatwrights looked at the boats floating steadily on the water, and looked at each other in some speechlessness.
The culet really didn't capsize? How is this possible?
I have long heard that Li Chengqian has the ability to destroy people's three views, but now that they have finally experienced it for themselves, the shipwrights know that it is not only the three views that have been destroyed, but also the pride that has existed in their hearts since they entered this industry, which has also been crushed!
