"I think Brother Ci is losing money. Your two sons are both sloppy and are more neat than you. They are almost grown up with a hundred families. You didn't want to worry about it, but now you are just throwing it to them. Not only do you seem generous, but you are also worry-free. How can you take advantage of it?" Whether it is a loss, the Merciful couple also nodded. The son is temporarily gone, and they are the two commanders. This is indeed what the couple wants. But there are always people who like to say strange things. Swan is willing to go against Hong Tao. At this time, his good buddy is defeated, and he has to stand up and help.

"It's up to you! Don't make trouble. Hurry up and finish eating and drinking. Go back to the canal construction site tomorrow and transport the slaves brought back by His Majesty. You can't worry about where Joseph is staring at me! Your Majesty, let America go with him to see it. In the future, when he arrives at Midway Island, he will have to build a port from scratch, and learn how to manage so many people." Luo Youde was afraid that Hong Tao would spread this evil fire to Swan, a blind thing, so he quickly interrupted with his work and kidnapped his son away, and went to the construction site with him for a few more days.

"With your godfather here, I will ignore you. The safety work on the construction site is handed over to America. You will take the remaining people to explore the way for me, from Mexica City to the northwest, and you will not be allowed to come back within half a year. When I come back, I will see a detailed map, and every indigenous village, the number of people and local specialties must be marked." It is not difficult to say that it is Swan, but revenge comes very quickly. This kind of talkative thing should be asked to do things that he is good at to avoid having idle life.

"Go to go... If you don't say it, I will be far away from you. Once you come back, I will have no good life!" Swann made Hong Tao naughty, just like beating a child, and he won't be afraid of always beating him.

"After meeting! After meeting! If you haven't drunk enough, you will find a place to drink with the wine. Don't mess around at my house!" After finishing the serious matter that should be said, with the compassionate couple and Luo Meizhou, Hong Yuzhou, he finally had a few days of relief. Hong Tao wanted to kill these people away quickly and have a good sleep.

The crowd came quickly and dispersed quickly. The young people surrounded by Mercy, Luo Meizhou, Hong Yu, and Swan found a place to eat, drink and chat. The old people also continued to gather with wine and food. They were busy and had few opportunities to chat together.

"Your Majesty..." Hong Tao went up the second floor by himself, but unexpectedly there was another one behind him.

"What are you going to do? Why are your eyes green, just like rats?" The person was so scary that he looked back and looked at the guy who was following him without making a sound. It turned out to be Wen Xiaoqi.

"I have something good for you... I've got that machine out!" Wen Xiaoqi rubbed his eyes, leaned forward, lowered his voice like a spy joint, and told him what he wanted.

"Oh, I saw it. I saw the big chimney next to the textile factory on the boat. It's great! Keep working hard!" Hong Tao had been struggling on the sea for more than two months and experienced another war. It was fake to say that he was not tired. Now he was sore all over, and he just wanted to find a bed to wake up naturally. Wen Xiaoqi's steam engine had been built long ago and he had been doing experiments in the textile factory. This time the chimney seemed to be much taller, but he couldn't get any interest.

"It's not that, it's on the boat. I got it on the boat. The boat without sails! Don't you want to go and see it?" Wen Xiaoqi didn't let Hong Tao pass by perfunctorily, and reached out to grab Hong Tao's sleeve, with expectation on his face.

"I... don't go to see it at night?" Hong Tao originally wanted to say that I wouldn't go, but when he saw Wen Xiaoqi's expectant expression, he didn't say this. He was tired, and they were also tired. They didn't have to go out to fight, but the production task was not brisk. Wen Xiaoqi was seven or eight years younger than him, but he looked like he was in his fifties, with gray hair and hunched waists. They were all tired.

"You will know when you and I go. This time I promise it is easy to use, the strength is big enough. A steam engine can carry more than 30 spinning wheels and a large saw. There is only a small problem. How can it not work well when it is installed on the boat? I tried it with a wheel. It is no problem in the river. When the wind and waves are big on the sea, the wheels are not very good and are easily damaged by the waves. There is a small flower on the tail without the sailboat drawings you drew for me. What is that thing for?"

Wen Xiaoqi has entered the obsession stage. When he saw Hong Tao, there was nothing else to say. His mouth was full of steam engines. Judging from his words and words, the steam engine has been tampered with by him to the practical stage, at least it is no problem to be practical on land. But he is not satisfied, and his ideal has not changed. He just lets the steam engine replace sails and become the new power of the ship. If this purpose is not achieved, everything before is in vain. He does not care whether this machine can do other uses.

"Little Flower? When did I draw small flowers for you?" Hong Tao has talked to Wen Xiaoqi, Qi Zu, Bush and others over the years and can't remember the details that are too specific. But he is sure that he has never drawn any flowers, and he has to know how to draw them even if he wants to!

"It's the small flower under the stern waterline, three-broken." Wen Xiaoqi took out a stack of paper from his arms, and after opening it, there was a structural diagram of an iron ship with a displacement of dozens of tons. The ship looked bare because it had no masts and was more like a lifeboat on a large ship. However, in front of the stern rudder, there was something like a flower, and a big question mark was drawn on it.

"This is called a flower! Is this what I draw?" Hong Tao's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. If it were someone else, he would definitely think that the other party was deliberately causing trouble. He drew a propeller, how could he say it was a flower?

"I enlarged it according to your original picture. It's true that it looks like this, without any error... Isn't it a flower?" Wen Xiaoqi looked carefully at the picture and confirmed that he was right. This was obviously a small flower.

"...Let's go to the shipyard!" Hong Tao was very angry. This was slandering his drawing-making skills. He was a slap in the face with a naked slap. Neither uncle nor aunt could bear it!

After several years of large-scale construction, Suncity has transformed from an agricultural village into a large arsenal. Most farmers have moved to the Mexican Valley to plant a larger area of ​​farmland, and the remaining small part is left in Suncity. Relying on complete water conservancy facilities and sufficient livestock to take care of the reclaimed land, it just so happens to provide the workers in the factory here with the necessary food, saving them from transporting from the Mexican Valley to this side.

Wen Xiaoqi's Sun City Shipyard was originally on the north bank of the Sun River. It occupied the opposite river bank four years ago. There were four rail-laying boat platforms, as well as wood baking, processing, making rigging and simple blacksmith workshops, which stretched more than a kilometer along the river bank.

Behind the ship platform on the south bank is Qi Zu's foundry. Due to the dense population of the north bank, he also moved the foundry and smelting plant to the south bank, leaving only a machinery factory on the north bank. This not only has sufficient land to develop, it will not affect the lives of residents, but also provides convenient help to the shipyard. Now shipbuilding is not only a carpenter's business, but also requires a lot of steel components, whether it is a warship or a cargo ship. If a ship is a ship that makes steel keels, it must be closely cooperated with the shipyard and the steel mill.

Wen Xiaoqi's laboratory is very generous, occupying a boat platform, surrounded by wooden boards more than three meters high. Only the upper side and masts of the ship can be seen from the outside. Now, there is nothing to see, because Wen Xiaoqi's ship has no masts and its freeboard is also very low.

"The boat you built is so ugly!" Wen Xiaoqi shouted loudly after entering the wooden wall, and immediately three Indians ran out of the house. While running, they lit the steam lights and illuminated the boat platform. Only then did Hong Tao see clearly the whole picture of the ship on the track. Its head and tail were about twenty meters long and about four meters wide. There was a thick chimney standing in the middle mast. There were two large wooden wheels on both sides of the chimney that were nearly one meter higher than the side of the ship. The whole ship looked like a thick-soled slipper.

"Hehe... it's just for experiments. Uncle Qi is very busy producing guns and cannons. I begged him for a long time before I pulled out some people and brought my blacksmith to make it. If I could get more time, I could make it more beautiful. But it was useless to be beautiful, so it could run three knots in the river and slower to the sea. Please help me see where the problem lies. This thing is a bit slow, but it is really easy to use. Where the sailboat cannot go, it can go upstream without any effort." Wen Xiaoqi did not take it seriously for Hong Tao's not to be highly praised. This ship is just a test platform, and the purpose is to verify the performance of the steam engine he made. What is good or bad is a fate of dismantling sooner or later.
