Wu Yi was standing in front of the map to look at it, when he heard Wei Ba's footsteps coming in, he turned his head, looked at Wei Ba and smiled, and was just about to say a few words of gossip, when he saw the ship model in Wei Ba's hand, he couldn't help but put away his smile: "Ziyu, if you celebrate the New Year, you won't come to pay me a New Year's greeting, you will be drilling in the craftsman all day long, it turns out that you are doing this?" ”

Wei Ba arched his hand embarrassedly. Although he is in the barracks, everyone is very relaxed these days, greeting each other for the New Year, getting together to play, and there are really not many people like him who are drilling into the craftsman to build models, and even forgetting to pay New Year's greetings to Shangguan.

"General Haihan, I was so busy that I forgot about it, so I will give the general a good old age now."

"Later years?" Wu Yi smiled playfully: "Am I that old?" ”

"This ......" Wei Ba laughed embarrassedly twice: "It's a mistake in the mouth of his subordinates, a mistake in the mouth, the general is in his youth, how can he be old." The subordinate means to say that the general will be a late year. ”

Wu Yi hahadaxiao strode over, stroking Wei Ba's back with one hand, while letting people prepare wine and food. "Ziyu, don't be careful, I'm just joking with you. You are loyal to the affairs of the state, I see it in my eyes, and I am happy in my heart, how can I blame it? Although I don't have much ability and can't do big things, I still have this amount of belly. Come, come, sit down and talk, and show me what wonderful ordnance you have made. ”

Wu Yi is a noble and an elder, he can joke, but Wei Ba can't help but talk about etiquette and follow suit. Wu Yi is joking, that is approachable, he wants to joke with Wu Yi, that is, there is no tutor.

Wei Ba respectfully sat down, put the boat model aside, toasted Wu Yi a few glasses of wine first, and finished the New Year's etiquette, as for the gifts, he could only go back and make up for it. It is estimated that Xiahou Hui is ready, but he has stayed in the workshop for the past two days and has not returned. She couldn't help it.

After drinking, Wei Ba took out the ship model and explained it to Wu Yi. I explained Shiyan's story again. Wu Yi listened carefully, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, zuihou put down the wine glass and asked a question: "This is a ship." Can you break through the Wei army's defenses? ”

"Seventy percent sure." Wei Ba had thought about this question for a long time, and he had also done the corresponding tests. "As long as the number of ships on the other side does not exceed three, there is a seventy percent chance that it can break through the defense line."

"That's pretty good." Wu Yi asked again: "In terms of speed." Is there an advantage? Will it become heavy after the hull is covered with iron armor, which will affect the speed? Can you guarantee that you will retreat under the pursuit of the Wei army? ”

Meng Chong was originally a small warship, specially designed to charge into battle, with fast speed and good maneuverability, but its attack ability was not strong and its protection was insufficient. After adding Iron Armor. The speed was greatly affected, so Wei Ba simply gave up the advantage of speed and focused on becoming bigger and stronger, turning it into an armored ship with excellent offensive and defensive capabilities. In this way, speed is naturally affected. Even though he had removed all the unnecessary ornaments, he was still only a little faster than the slowest of the Lou boats, and could not compare to the ordinary Meng Chong.

After all, the ship is so big, and in order to ensure the ability to attack, it is necessary to ensure the number of fighters, and the space left for the oarsmen is limited. If you can't increase the number of oarsmen by a large margin, you won't be able to increase the speed.

This is a dilemma under specific power conditions, and Wei Ba cannot solve it.

"In this case, one ship will not solve the problem." Wu Yi shook his head and looked at the ship model fondly. "Ziyu, I'm not reluctant to give up this ship, if you want, you can take it for refitting, just as a sample. In the future, when we attack Wu on a large scale, we can build dozens or hundreds of such armored ships, and I believe that Sun Quan will definitely bow down to his subordinates. Only now, I don't approve of you going on an adventure with a ship. ”

He took a sip of his wine glass and looked at Wei Ba meaningfully: "Ziyu, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Wei Ba also slowly calmed down. Wu Yi was right, no matter how advanced this ship was, it would not be able to solve the problem, and because of its speed, it was likely to be intercepted by the Wei army and fall into the hands of the Wei army. If you can't guarantee that you will get out, then you would rather not use it for the time being, and wait for the more haode time to talk about it, so as not to leak into the hands of the enemy and become self-defeating. His mechanical jishu is clever, but it doesn't mean that the enemy doesn't have smart people, it is said that Ma Jun of Wei State imitated the thunderbolt car, and the power is not worse than the one he built. Ma Jun's independently developed and improved repeater can almost compete with his improved repeater. If he were to see the armored ship again, it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't copy it the same, and maybe he could do better.

But the power problem, there is really no good trick.

Wei Ba was very satisfied with Wu Yi's attitude, after all, Wu Yi supported his work, and his opinions were pertinent. But he couldn't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds for a while. He couldn't build a steam engine, otherwise he could build a steam ship with propellers, and all problems would have been solved.

After coming out of Wu Yi's place, Wei Ba was somewhat depressed. Fortunately, in his previous life, he was jishu, and he was accustomed to the situation that the jishu plan was excellent and the economic feasibility was rejected due to the lack of economic viability, and the daily reflection in this life has greatly improved his mental nature, and this frustration is only a matter of a moment, and he was soon replaced by positive emotions.

Wei Ba went to find Feng Jin halfway and told him the results. Feng Jin was a little disappointed, but he was also very understanding. What Wu Yi said is also reasonable, it is very unwise to rush out without the certainty of victory.

Feng Jin didn't blame Wei Ba, but his disappointment fell in Wei Ba's eyes, and Wei Ba was a little uneasy. He took the model ship and returned to his tent. Xiahou Hui, Huan'er, and Bell were talking together, and when they saw him come in, they hurriedly got up to greet him. Huan'er saluted and hurried away. Wei Ba sat down, and then he felt a little tired.

For two days and two nights, he hardly really slept a single night, and even though his body was very strong, he was a little tired.

"Do you want to rest first, or do you eat something first?"

"I won't eat it." Wei Ba exhaled, leaned on the desk, and stretched out his legs: "Help me get some hot water, I want to soak my feet, and then sleep well." ”

Xiahou Hui answered, turned around and went out. Wei Ba leaned on the case, looked at the delicate ship model, and his eyelids involuntarily began to fight. By the time Xiahou Hui and Bell came in with hot water, Wei Ba had already fallen asleep.

Xiahou Hui and Bell looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect him to work so hard." The bell said softly: "In these years, there are not many young people who are willing to endure such hardships. ”

"yes. There are not many rich and noble children like him who are not worried about their future, and they are willing to take risks and surrender. Xiahou Hui squatted down. Carefully picked up one of Wei Ba's legs and took off his boots. Before the boots were completely taken off, the smell of the feet that had not been washed for three days gushed out and filled the whole tent. As soon as Xun Xiahou Hui followed, even the bell involuntarily covered his nose and fanned it with his hand. He whispered, "It stinks, it stinks." She saw Xiahou Hui's bitter face and looked like she was about to vomit, so she hurriedly pushed her away: "Girl, you can leave it alone, I'll come." ”

Xiahou Hui really couldn't help it, from childhood to adulthood. When had she ever smelled such stinky feet. She quickly got up and ran out of the tent, squatting at the door of the tent, her hands on her knees, retching. Wei Feng and Huan'er happened to come in a hurry, and when they saw Xiahou Hui's appearance. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and my eyebrows trembled with joy: "It's there so soon?" It's still Ziyu amazing. ”

Xiahou Hui was inexplicable, and then he understood again, his face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly said: "I'm too tired to join the army, I just slept." ”

"Ah, you're already asleep?" Wei Feng patted his head in frustration, "I still want to come over and apologize to him." ”

Wei Feng didn't come over once or twice in the past two days to give Wei Ba daoqian, Xiahou Hui already knew the reason for the matter from Huan'er, and hurriedly smiled: "Captain, you are the elder brother who joined the army, and you don't know the temper of joining the army?" How could he account for the lieutenant's drunken words? Rest assured, he won't take it to heart. ”

"I know Ziyu has a good heart, but I drank too much that day, and I lost my words for a while, and I said something to Ziyu, and I didn't apologize, I didn't want to go." Wei Feng twitched himself twice as he spoke: "Alas, this wine can't be drunk, and when you drink it, your mouth will be full of nonsense." ”

Seeing Wei Feng blaming himself so much, Xiahou Hui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, so he had to persuade Wei Feng a few more words, and then persuaded him to leave.

After sending Wei Feng away, Xiahou Hui turned around and entered the account. The bell had already pressed Wei Ba's feet into the hot water and scrubbed them vigorously, looking like that, it seemed that he wanted to rub off a layer of skin. Xiahou Hui suddenly remembered the foot bath bucket prepared by Wei Ba for Xiahou Mao and his wife, and thought of Peng Xiaoyu's skilled foot massage jishu, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

What else can I do other than be smart and have read some books? It's a shame that Wei Ba is not a harsh person, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to wait for people, and I wouldn't be able to be a concubine.

Seeing Xiahou Hui sitting aside, looking at the sleeping Wei Ba, the bell poked Xiahou Hui with his elbow: "Girl, what are you doing here, it's too smelly here, you better go out first, wait for me to clean up." You come in again. Hey, what do you always see him doing? Although he looks quite handsome, he looks at it every day, but he hasn't seen enough, so he has to watch it at this time? ”

Xiahou Hui was startled, only to realize that his gaze had been falling on Wei Ba's slightly tired face. She just wanted to get up and leave, but saw Wei Ba's brows furrow slightly, and then sighed, with a little nervousness and worry in her expression, like a child facing unknown dangers, revealing instinctive fear.

This is Wei Ba's usual confident and calm expression is very different, Xiahou Hui has never seen his expression since the day he met Wei Ba, even in Chang'an, even after she found out his identity, in the days of house arrest in Yiwu, Wei Ba will always look comfortable, and he has never shown his inner fear like today.

This instinctive fear suddenly moved Xiahou Hui. She suddenly remembered Wei Ba's words: Let our two poor people who are sick and sympathetic help each other and hug each other for warmth.

"Girl, why haven't you gone out yet? I really want to see it, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Xiahou Hui was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I'm not looking at him, I'm looking at ......" She swept her eyes and saw the ship model that rolled down Wei Ba's legs, and hurriedly said: "...... This ship, hey, what kind of ship is this, is it Meng Chong? ”
