Chapter 629 Steamship

Actually, the red brick wall of the workshop was covered with a layer of cement. This was just renovated, just because the workshop was depleted every year!
There are several signs hanging on the wall beside the workshop gate: Research Institute Advanced Workshop
Steam engine research and development workshop

Yue Wang exclusive workshop
Collective First Class Work Workshop
The first two were issued by the courtyard, the third was hung by Li Tai himself, and the fourth was issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

The door of the workshop was always open, and there was no way to do that, because there were no electric lights, so it could only be brightened in this way.

The walls in the workshop are all painted with white paint, and there is a window every two meters, all of which are filled with transparent glass.

The area of ​​several hundred square meters is divided into several areas, for failed products, for previous models, for parts, for offices, and for assembly.

Li Tai was leaning on the desk, with his right leg resting on his left leg, his arms folded across his chest, a pencil in his right hand, and he kept tapping his chin.

Seeing his serious expression, Ding Yi felt a little embarrassed to disturb him.

Ding Yi walked around to the table behind him, picked up the blueprint on the table, and felt a headache from reading it!I really don't understand!

"Ah! Yes, no matter how small the steam engine is, it still needs a water tank. If the water tank is too small, it won't have enough power. The king said that the internal combustion engine of the Hummer is so different from the steam engine, so we still can't blindly pursue this aspect. The comparison!" Li Tai seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, he jumped up, his right hand clenched his fist and kept beating the palm of his left hand.

Suddenly, he saw the person sitting at the table and the person standing behind that person, and the excited movement was instantly paused. After a few seconds of distraction, he shrank back as if frightened.

"When did you come?" Li Tai collected his expression, stood up straight with his hands on the edge of the table, and leaned forward to look down at the sitting person.

Ding Yi leaned against the back of the chair, tilted his head slightly, his eyes were full of ridicule, and said, "What? Are you still staring at my Hummer? Do you want to drive over and let you dismantle it?"

For Li Tai's oppressive action, he really can't compliment him, especially looking at that chubby face with a hint of childishness, it's very self-restraining not to smile!

And Li Tai didn't care about Ding Yi's gaze at all, and twitched the corner of his mouth, mockingly said: "Don't try to trick me, brother-in-law!"

"Pfft!" Li Tai's words really touched Ding Yi's sore spot, what he hated most was the fact that Chang Le was Li Tai's younger sister.Since Li Er announced this matter, Li Tai has been asking him to call him uncle!

Resisting the urge to beat someone, Ding Yi knocked on the table and urged: "Where's the steamship I want? The Ministry of War is waiting now!"

Ding Yi didn't know if the Ministry of War had urged him, he just wanted to put some pressure on Li Tai so that he could calm down.Moreover, there is such a large piece of land on the other side of the ocean waiting for the owner!
Unexpectedly, Li Tai's facial features were wrinkled together, he looked at Ding Yi in surprise, and said, "What are you doing these days? It's not really like what the elder brother said, just drink tea and bask in the sun every day! Look at you like this, don't worry about it. I'm afraid it will turn into raisins in the sun!"

Every time Li Chengqian came to Xincheng, he had to come and see Li Tai, first to confirm whether this younger brother who was capable of competing with him for the seat was doing things honestly, and second, to bring some greetings and care from the palace!

Ding Yi felt a little strange seeing him behave like this.Could it be that something major has happened in Xincheng recently, or he doesn't know about it? !Involuntarily, she turned to look at Liu Yi, the secretary and bodyguard beside her.

He spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Master, I really don't know about this!"

"I don't need to ask you!" Ding Yi said disgustedly, then turned to Li Tai and asked, "Speaking bluntly, I have been so busy with state affairs these past few days that I have been dizzy. Do you see that dark circles under my eyes are caused by these two days!" Said Then, he pointed to the eyelids to explain.

Li Tai pulled the chair next to him to his buttocks, rummaged through the table, and took out a document after a while and threw it to Ding Yi.

It turned out that three days ago, a ship made of steel had been built at the shipyard next to Xincheng Port, and the steam engine had been installed, and it was being debugged these days.

The day after tomorrow, the ship will go on a trial voyage, and the route has been set via the Weishui River to the Yangtze River, heading east from Wujun to the sea.

Well, this is the best news of the past six months!Even if Goguryeo destroyed the country, it was within his expectation, and only when the steamship goes into the sea can it make people excited!
After chatting with Li Tai about some other applications of the steam engine, and reminding him that the steam engine can be used to drive manpower in mountain quarrying, mining, drilling and production, he prepared to take Liu Yi back with him.

"By the way, I came here at night, and Du He and the others also came back. It's been a long time since we had dinner together! Seeing that Xuejian wants to eat hot pot, I won't ask your opinions!" Before leaving, Ding Yi thought of another thing thing.

Upon hearing this, Li Tai asked excitedly, "Has Xue Jian missed me these days?"

Ding Yi was furious and said angrily, "Get out! Xue Jian is now your sister, even if you want to, His Majesty will not agree!"

This guy actually stared at his younger sister, raised him for several years, and finally raised a dirty little girl into a slim girl now, if he was hooked away by this guy, Ding Yi would regret it to death!

Li Tai said disdainfully: "Oh, you! As a brother, is it wrong to ask yourself if my sister misses me? Why are you so dirty!"

"Don't come tonight! You're not welcome!" Ding Yi said angrily, and walked away with his sleeves shaken!

Li Tai waved his hands happily and said, "Prepare more meat for tonight, uncle, I have to make up for it!"

Ding Yi, who was walking outside, turned his head and gave him a hard look, thinking that he would prepare two pigs for you tonight!
Standing on the street of the research institute, the more I think about it, the more angry I get, how could I lose to Li Tai!For a while, he was not in a good mood, and he kicked Liu Yi's ass!
"Drive to the pier!"

Liu Yi innocently kneaded his buttocks, and always felt that the young master's mood is not right today, what's so weird!

The Humvee was passing through the streets of the new city, and heard the movement from a distance. The pedestrians on the road had already stepped aside, watching the unique car pass by respectfully and enviously.

As soon as I arrived at the pier, I saw a dark and shiny ship parked in the port. The whole body was made of steel, but it didn't have too many decorations. After all, it was just an experimental product.

Led by the dock foreman, Ding Yi toured the steamship.

There is a lot of space inside the ship, although it is not as good as a treasure ship, but it is better in its speed and other aspects!
Moreover, this pier is just on the side of the Wei River, and it would be embarrassing if the boat is too big to get out!If you think about it, you must also be aware of this. As long as the ship is successfully tested, a larger steam ship can be built in the dock by the sea!

Satisfied, he praised the foreman a few words, and Ding Yi left. He didn't understand these things, so he better stop giving orders!
