Chapter 22 Steam(1/2)
It seemed like a big victory, waiting for Liu Yi and others to take the railroad train in the city and return to the main urban area. There was a jubilant scene everywhere.
However, Liu Yi had already felt that the evil spirit of this city had increased by almost ten times.
In Liu Yi's opinion, this strange fleet was originally here to die... just to spread evil spirits...
But no matter what, Liu Yi was just a passing passerby.
That night, he took the time to return to Yizi last time.
The daytime incident did not affect the size of Yi. As a small wooden sailboat, they did not dispatch today's war.
Liu Yi had just returned to the boat, and Wang Ran had already returned to Liu Yi with a serious look on his face: "We have discovered something important and are just trying to report to you..."
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!"
Wang Ran saw a wooden platform tied up a person like a rice dumpling in a cabin in Liu Yi's territory.
Rather than saying that this is a person, it is a monster. His hair and eyebrows are obviously falling off and sparse. However, many parts of his body have horny scales. Even his arms have almost become ≦ forelimbs.
The guy had something stuffed in his mouth and his whole body was tied up like this. However, when he heard the movement, he immediately struggled hard.
The wooden table nailed to the boat board made a squeaking sound, making people feel sour. This thing seems to be extremely powerful!
"This is floating along the water and I'm caught." Gao Feng stood here and just explained. Liu Yi knew it well.
I think that there is such a monster above that ghost fleet.
"This seems to be a human mutant!" Liu Yi said in his heart.
"We have already investigated it. This thing was originally a human..." Wang Ran said, and suddenly uncovered the sheet covering the monster. He said.
A smell of blood came to my face, but I saw that the monster's entire belly was cut open, revealing the colorful organs inside.
Generally speaking, it is similar to the internal organs of ordinary people. However, the heart suddenly becomes at least two or three times larger, becoming stronger and stronger, and even if exposed to the air, it still beating pounds.
You can also see that the life force of this monster is so powerful.
"This is the enemy on the other side!" Wang Ran said with a calm face.
What exactly is the enemy on the other side? Few people know that the ordinary people in Da Chu may regard the entire other side as the enemy on the other side.
But everyone like Liu Yi and Wang Ran know that it is not. Even if the enemy on the other side is on this other side, it is a thing that makes people feel scared of talking.
No one knows exactly what it is. However, Wang Ran was born in the Demon Elimination Department and knew a little about all kinds of monsters.
Being in the government office, I think I have heard many rumors about enemies on the other side, so Wang Ran believed that this thing was. Liu Yi believed it 70% or 80%.
"This thing is made up of human mutates after all. And this level of mutation is extraordinary. I'm afraid it has involved some taboo transformation techniques..."
Liu Yi was thinking about these things in his mind, but he didn't say it. He just nodded again.
However, at this time, the monster struggled again. The huge heart kept beating. It supplied sufficient blood pump to press the whole body, making the monster full of inhuman power.
"Crack..." The table legs were broken. A crisp sound was particularly loud.
Everyone in the room changed their expressions. Liu Yi pressed the heart on his hand, and the monster calmed down honestly.
"A good dissection and see what else can you find?"
The medical skills and anatomical techniques of Dachu were very developed. There were imperial physicians in the imperial court and local imperial physician offices. There were many doctors in the civilian government such as such official institutions.
Since Fan Yi’s era, there have been many military doctors who have dissected corpses and studied medicine.
According to legend, this was the order of Taizong Fan Yi. However, Taizong Fan Yi was born to the mortal world for the legendary Emperor of Heaven and was regarded as a saint by the court and the people.
This statement hurts Taizong's virtues. Therefore, it is not spread.
Of course, no one knows better than Liu Yi, this statement must be good.
Since the ship goes to sea, there are wind, waves, plagues, etc. along the way. Naturally, there are medical workers, so there is no problem when dissecting it.
When Liu Yi immediately mentioned that he was preparing to buy a boat here, both Wang Ran and Gao Feng were immediately overjoyed.
Let’s not talk about whether driving the steamboat here will be beneficial to Da Chu’s technology. Just having ships, according to Da Chu’s already perfect method of going to sea.
They made such a great contribution and their share in the entire fleet would increase significantly.
If you can raise funds by yourself, even this steamer can be owned by your own personal gain. The profits you get will be even greater.
But thinking about it, if you buy this steamboat, you will cost 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins. They can't get such a huge sum of money.
Although Yizi set out to visit Mellon Port and found out that he had taken more than 100 kilograms of gold as funding, all of which were cast into gold coins, only two or three thousand gold coins. It was only one tenth...
"I'll go out to sea early tomorrow morning and go back to report this matter. Be sure to buy this boat!" Wang Ran said gritting his teeth.
Liu Yi nodded, he was thinking that way. However, the Giant Python Island was more than a thousand miles away, and it took at least twenty days to go back and forth. The time was too long.
Now that the world of Liying is uneasy, I am afraid that there will be some trouble in it.
As Liu Yi expected, it was indeed not an unfair worry.
On the second day, Yizi was about to go out to sea, but found that the port had been sealed. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
But it is the so-called devil or the enemy on the other side. In short, their attack has made the joint parliament of merchants who ruled the port suddenly nervous.
I suspect that there is still an enemy from the other side in this port.
To inspect each boat, it is absolutely not allowed to leave any ship in question.
This Yi font is not allowed to leave even if it is hot. I can only be very depressed.
A ship as depressed as Yi's font size is not one or two. I don't know how many of them want to escape from this troublesome and dangerous place.
However, their depression soon turned into horror.
As the naval battle did not last a few days ago, the plague spread among the ships in the port.
Every day, people vomited black blood, and other crew members who were shocked were thrown into the sea according to the rules at sea.
The ship is a closed space, and the most feared thing is infectious diseases. It will cause the entire ship to die of illness.
Therefore, when sailing at sea, when encountering such a situation, seamen who are suspected of having plague will throw them into the sea without mercy.
At this time, the seeds planted by Liu Yi began to sprout.
Last time, Liu Yi saved a person's life in the shipbuilding area. The man was indeed slowly healed, and this matter really spread.
Their boss drove the car early in the morning and came to ask Liu Yi to help him with the treatment.
The cars at this time are really real cars. When they walk, they still gush like a train, but they also burn steam.
In another world, since the energy utilization rate of steam engines is less than 10%, the rest is wasted. Therefore, it was quickly replaced by internal combustion engines.
However, in this world, whether it is Da Chu or Li Ying, it has been in contact with this steam engine for more than two or three hundred years. However, the internal combustion engine has never appeared.
Liu Yi was quite puzzled at first. Why did this happen?
But at this time, I asked Mr. Hemut, who was quite knowledgeable.
He is not very familiar with technology and it is difficult to organize language to explain it.
However, Mr. Hemut immediately understood as soon as he heard this. Obviously, he had been in contact with and thought about these issues long ago.
"In the past few hundred years, many people have tried to invent a new power machine, but they have not succeeded. After all, the steam engine uses water vapor, which does work on the outside. The heat is directly discharged to the outside world. The biggest heat loss is that it is carried out by the gas, so the steam engine has little thermal efficiency.
However, the new power machinery encountered the biggest problem. It was that the steam engine could burn carbon, while the new sealed internal combustion engine could not find the combustion materials..."
After hearing Daqi, Liu Yi asked in the bottom line. Mr. Hemut, the owner of the shipyard, happened to be a power expert. He quickly explained to Liu Yi clearly.
It turns out that no energy evolved from ancient creatures such as Liying or Dachu has occurred...
The reason why Da Chu has never been able to invent the steam engine is that it has to wait until the dragon soul arrives on the other side before learning the technology and bringing it back to Da Chu.
In fact, Da Chu had invented something similar long ago, but it was not very useful.
The biggest problem is that there is no coal and insufficient power.
But on the other side, this problem was perfectly solved. They cultivated a very special tree that can be processed into an energy source with a combustion rate far exceeding that of coal. This is the so-called rubber carbon!
And back then, the most important thing about the Dragon Soul was to bring this set of technology back to Da Chu.
After solving the fuel problem, Dachu's steam engine technology made rapid progress.
However, Dachu's steam engine was not fully popularized. There is still a problem of insufficient fuel.
After all, the time is too short. There are fewer such rubber-carbon trees in Dachu.
This kind of rubber carbon can be used instead of coal in steam engines, but it is difficult to use in internal combustion engines.
Although Liying has developed a technology for liquefaction of gel carbon, which converts gel carbon into liquid fuel suitable for use in internal combustion engines through decarbonization and hydrogenation.
However, the cost is as high as the sky. It is difficult to popularize on a large scale.
That is, some cutting-edge military technologies, regardless of cost. These liquid fuels can be used, and it is difficult to use in other places.
That kind of fuel is said to be more expensive than gold of the same volume. It is even more powerful than burning gold...
This was the final solution to the mystery in Liu Yi's mind.
The car drove all the way to Hemut's house because his wife Catherine seemed to have been infected with the plague. So Mr. Hemut came to invite him.
When Liu Yi arrived, two doctors were treating Catherine.
I took cold apple water to cool down, and I drank wine for the patient and wiped sweat regularly. I even discussed how to bleed the patient...
To be continued...
