Brother Guo Xing had been busy for most of the day and came out of the workshop. Blood flowed out of the burned blisters on the back of his hand. He grinned in pain, "Brother, I found the reason. The parts in the pot were unqualified. Three craftsmen were scalded by steam, and one of them was hit by a splashed iron block and was unconscious."

Li Si gritted his teeth, "King Shang, it's really not easy for you. In my opinion, the blacksmith who made a mistake should be killed and asked him to be responsible for his mistakes. Grandma's, if the parts are not done, it's just a careless person! If someone dies, can he afford to be guilty?"

Brother Guo Xing knew that Li Si was concerned about him, but he still shook his head.

"I will not kill that craftsman. He will not die, and every craftsman is precious. I asked him to take care of the scalded craftsman." The young man smiled sly, "Don't worry, I will rebuild my business and quickly recast the boiler, inspect every part, and conduct a second test in a maximum of ten days!"

...

Brother Guo Xing did what he said. In fact, he had just one day in advance, and it took only nine days to complete the new boiler and the linkage device was adjusted.

This time, not only Ye Hua came, but even Chai Rong came over to watch the fun.

Before starting, Brother Guo Xing checked it carefully and confirmed that it was correct. He was like adding the first shovel of coal to the boiler, and two other craftsmen worked with him.

Soon the coal turned red charcoal, and the heat released heat heated the water in the boiler. The water turned into steam, gathered together, and promoted the piston to move... The clumsy machine made a rattle, and soon the connecting rod turned. Next to the boiler, there was a circular water truck. Usually, the water truck needed to be pushed by the water flow to run.

This time I didn't need it anymore, so I put it on the wooden table. The gears drive the connecting rod and the force is transmitted to the water truck. The water truck starts to rotate without water.

When Brother Guo Xing saw this scene, his eyes shone, and the goal he wanted was finally realized.

The little guy kept putting more coal into the boiler, and more heat brought more powerful thrust. The huge water truck was turning faster and faster, and even generated a strong wind... Chai Rong and Li Si were both typical laymen. What can this thing do? It is good to use for fanning, but right next to the boiler, it was so hot that it was sweating and fanning was not useful!

Chai Rong was puzzled, and Ye Hua chuckled: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen a paddle steamer driven by a sailor with his feet on a wooden wheel?"

Chai Rong said: "Of course I have seen this. There are not many on the Yangtze River! A few days ago, I bought ten paddle steamers in Jinmingchi for me to travel to the lake. I have been busy these days and haven't had time to take a seat."

The paddle wheel of manpower was invented in the Tang Dynasty. Chai Rong knew it, and it was not surprising at all.

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask for two modifications... I might as well do this, how about doing a boat racing?"

Chai Rong frowned, "Ye Qing, how do you compare? It won't be..." Chai Rong looked up and stared at the waterwheel that was rotating, and suddenly had an idea.

"Ye Qing, are you saying that this thing can replace human power?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Let's just compare the power to steam power to see which one is more powerful!"

"Okay!" Chai Rong agreed happily, and he called Brother Guo Xing over, "King Shang, do you dare to fight?"

"no problem!"

Brother Guo Xing wiped his sweat and immediately agreed, "But I have to give me ten days!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I will move the steam engine to the ship and wait until I complete the modification before I can compete with His Majesty!"

"Okay, that's all! I'm waiting!"

Chai Rong returned to the palace and immediately ordered to select the most capable warriors, let them go to Jinmingchi immediately, choose a cruise ship, and practice, and be sure to win!"

These people were all warriors selected from the army, with great strength and Jin Mingchi had little trouble. With their concerted efforts, the cruise ship was flying, which was quite amazing.

Compared to the busy training of the big men, Brother Guo Xing is much quieter. He just circles a area on the shore with a reed mat, and then leads the craftsmen to modify the ship, chisel the deck, lay fire bricks, puts the steam engine, and installs the transmission device... These are all studied by someone a long time ago, so they move very quickly.

However, they had a problem in the first experiment. It turned out that the paddle wheel on the ship was for people to use. No matter how strong a person has, it is limited. However, the steam is different, and the powerful force directly breaks the blades of the paddle wheel.

Time is tight, so Brother Guo Xing had no choice but to find steel bars and reinforce the shaft and blades of the paddle wheel... Ten days passed quickly.

God is still giving face, the wind is beautiful and the water is not prosperous.

The emperor and the Shang king are so fun to regat the boat, who can miss it!

Almost all the important officials in the court came, without exception, all surrounded by His Majesty the Emperor, but Brother Guo Xing's side was not bad, and the old birthday star Ye arrived in person.

She grabbed Brother Guo Xing's hand and looked at it again and again, feeling distressed, "If you don't let me do it, you just don't listen. Look, this hand is even rougher than that of a farmer!"

Brother Guo Xing just smirked and didn't refute.

The old lady said, "Okay, I know I can't talk to you. Today I have to see. What kind of thing can you do when you are busy every day?"

Brother Guo Xing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, ancestor, I will open their eyes!"

At this time, Fu Yanqing, the King of Wei who was sitting next to him, also reached out and asked Brother Guo Xing to come to him.

"That Shang King, someone set up a bet in Kaifeng seven days ago. I will take out 30,000 taels to bet you to win. This is my coffin book, and I can't lose!"

Brother Guo Xing chuckled and said, "I am very sure, but it's hard to say. Anyway, I can't pay the King of Wei for 30,000 taels of silver."

"It's not silver, it's gold!" Fu Yanqing said with his back teeth: "Only win, not defeat!"

Brother Guo Xing suddenly felt that the pressure was greater than that of Mount Tai.

What is even more surprising is that the Grand Tutor Chai Shouli came over, "Well, I have custody 300,000 yuan, which is also... gold!"

Brother Guo Xing almost sat down, "Teacher Chai, aren't your Majesty's father? Why don't you bet your son? Why don't you bet me?

"Hehe!" the old man smiled proudly, "That I am not as unpromising as the one named Fu. Whether it is losing or winning, your steamboat is also my share! How much can you win in this 300,000 taels of gold? The capital and the winnings add up, I will build a factory for you!"

Brother Guo Xing was dizzy and seemed to have stepped on cotton under his feet.

And it’s not that I can win much, just 300,000 taels of gold made Brother Guo Xing excited and excited!

Anyway, fight!

The young man even took off his shirt and picked up a shovel himself, and went to the scene.

On the viewing platform, people saw this scene. On the emperor's side, there were twenty strong men with thick arms and long legs, and their heart-protecting hairs were like a group of big bears.

On the other side, there are only three brothers, and none of them are fat, especially Brother Guo Xing, whose waist is not as thick as others' arms!

Even Li Si felt a little nervous when compared with such a strong contrast.

"Junior brother, can it be OK? I have put all the money in private!"

Ye Hua chuckled and said, "Not to mention a group of big men, what can I do if I am a group of elephants? In front of the steam engine, muscles are useless!"

Li Si was trembling and still worried. At this time, the game was announced to begin. The big men jumped onto the boat. Someone was commanding and shouting horns, and they were about to step on the paddle wheel and row out.

They held their energy, and suddenly, someone came over and told them that the Shang King was not ready yet and had to wait half an hour.

In one sentence, these big men are so angry!

Just compare, why do you have to wait for half an hour? Could it be that they are afraid?

The great men were filled with righteous indignation, and the people watching outside were also talking, thinking that if the Shang king had confidence, he should play immediately and postpone it for no reason. He was a hero.

Many people secretly went to the bet and bet on His Majesty's side.

Ye Hua didn't care at all. He knew it in his mind. The so-called preparation was to warm the boiler, and there was nothing he could do about it. He looked around and suddenly found that Li Si was gone... Ye Hua couldn't help but frown, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see him come back.

Time flies quickly, and black smoke emerges from Brother Guo Xing’s ship, and they are finally ready.

"The competition begins!"

As the red flag waved, the big men tried hard together. They held their strength in their bodies, stretched out their muscles, one after another, and their thick thighs stepped on the wooden board to pass the strength to the rotating wheels. The ship was like an arrow from the string, jumping out quickly... With this speed, who can match it?

Just relying on three thin monkeys?

Look, where are their ships?

These big men subconsciously looked back, Oh my God, no!

Where is it?

When they turned their heads, they realized that Brother Guo Xing's ship was almost on the same side as them.

This scared the men. The captain shouted a horn and everyone moved forward. The ships cut through the lake, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Everyone used all their strength to feed themselves.

But on the other hand, the ship not only ran faster than them, but also came out of the cabin with a shovel.

The young man stood shirtless on the bow of the boat and laughed at the person opposite him.

There is no need for three people, two people can kill you in seconds!

Those big men became more angry when they saw Brother Guo Xing.

Use your strength, use your strength!

Must win!

They used all their strength, but sadly discovered that Brother Guo Xing's smile was getting farther and farther away... The steamboat had thrown them a lot.

The entire game lasted less than a cup of tea, and Brother Guo Xing won the game with an absolute advantage.

When he and two other craftsmen jumped from the boat to the shore, there was a burst of cheers!

As for those big men, their legs were like noodles, and almost everyone climbed out of the cabin, sagging on the shore, gasping like a dog.

Brother Guo Xing was not satisfied, so he waved his hand at the guards and asked them to go into the cabin. When the soldiers went in, everyone came out with a bag of rice.

The rice is piled together, like a hill.

The cheering crowd was speechless at this moment!

What a joke, this is a competition, people are eager to reduce the weight. Is Your Highness the King of Shang crazy? Why do you increase the weight by yourself?

If it doesn’t increase, wouldn’t it be easier to win?
