This is not the Datang I am familiar with

And these old fishermen who walk on the sea can find the place with experience, Chen Fang doesn't know what basis, experience, Big Dipper, Polaris.

In the night, the tide rises and falls, the wind blows the waves, and half of the shipwreck in front of me, fragmented, just falls on a black reef in the night.

The two boats approached, and the torch had already been passed to the son-in-law. Wei Xue son-in-law accompanied the son-in-law, holding the torch.

"My son-in-law's boat is so big, there's only half of it left, and there's still about ten feet left."

"Master Wei, let's take a look inside!"

There was nothing in the boat, and the remaining half of the boat was badly damaged, and many cabins were severely damaged and deformed.

"My lord, why is this boat so strange?"

Wei Xue-son saw the structure of the isolation compartment in the hull and was very puzzled.

Chen Fang sighed. This structure of dividing the cabin into large and small cabins is very common in later generations, especially on warships.

Of course, in this era, there are very few such structures, and it can be said that there are no large ships. In the Ming Dynasty, the treasure ships that sailed to the West became extremely large.At this time, it is almost difficult for a large ship with a hundred meters to appear.

Ordinary ships have large cabins, and it is impossible to see such large and small cabins. Seeing them at this time can only prove that the shipbuilding technology of the Northern Han Dynasty has greatly advanced this era.

This structure can make the hull stronger and more resistant to sinking. Even if there is a defect in the warship of later generations, it is difficult to sink. The engine device is intact and can go back by itself.

Chen Fang and Wei Xue-son carefully looked inside the hull, and suddenly some pipes appeared there, and in the center of the pipes, a huge steel monster like a boiler was parked in a specially reinforced cabin.

Chen Fang's hands trembled, as expected, the power system of the Northern Han ship was no longer human.

"My son-in-law, this is?"

"Let's go and have a look!"

Wei Xue son-in-law and son-in-law walked over, and at this time two yamen servants also came over to help the son-in-law open the hatch of this strange thing.

Chen took a look inside. Because of the shipwreck, seawater poured the thing into it and extinguished it, so there were still remnants that hadn't been burned.

Chen Fang clasped it with his hands, and it was something sticky like oil, whale blubber.

Whale blubber is the fat layer of whales. For a long time in later generations, whale fat was used as power fuel for ships, which also led to a large number of whales being hunted around the world to obtain blubber.

It was not until the discovery of oil that the whale blubber was slowly replaced.

At this time, the ships of the Northern Han Dynasty actually used whale blubber as fuel, which shows how advanced it is, and Chen Fang was shocked.

Everyone looked carefully in the boat again, there were very few things left in the boat, and the biggest harvest was the boiler.

In the night, suddenly the half of the ship shook, the sawdust above the head flew, and a few pieces of broken wood fell down.

"My son-in-law, let's get out, this wrecked ship is about to disintegrate!"

Wei Xue-son hurriedly protected his son-in-law and left the half of the boat. In the light of the torches, Chen Fang saw that the sea water was rising, and no matter how hard it was to resist, the half of the Northern Han sea boat was finally torn to pieces.

The fat-burning boiler in the power cabin was lying alone on the reef at this time, adding a color that did not belong to this era to the sea in the night.

"Master Wei, can you think of a way to haul this thing back?"

"My son-in-law, our boat is too small to fit. There is no big boat in Huating County that can hold this thing."

"Where is there a boat in the south of the Yangtze River that can drag this thing back to the coast?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to look elsewhere."

Just as Wei Xueson finished speaking, there was a loud bang on the other side of the reef, and the huge fat-burning boiler suddenly tilted and then rolled into the sea.

Chapter 670 Silence and Venting

The huge boiler rolled into the sea, and it was hard to find its figure at this time. Sitting on the boat, Chen Fang looked very bad.

Now there is no way to carry it back with a big ship. With the salvage technology at this time, there is no way to fish this thing out of the sea.

Chen's face was not good, no one around dared to approach the son-in-law, even Wei Xue son-in-law stood far away, looked at the son-in-law, but did not dare to say a word.

Sitting in the boat, Chen Fang recalled the scene of the Northern Han shipwreck just now. This Northern Han sea ship was still made of wood, but the boiler chamber was reinforced with metal just now.

The general shape of the hull is similar to the shape and structure of the sea ship when the two countries of the Iberian Peninsula competed for global hegemony, but the structure of the excessive warehouse is more similar to the warship of later generations.

Its power structure is a fat-burning boiler, but Chen Fang estimated that there should not be too many such fat-burning boilers.Because whale blubber is extremely precious, it is impossible to use it as fuel for seagoing ships on a large scale.

At this time, it is speculated that the appearance of this kind of fat-burning boiler should be more of an experimental nature. The reason why Beihan used fat-burning boilers is probably related to oil. If Beihan can exploit oil, this fat-burning boiler can be installed on a large scale. , then change to burning heavy oil.

Chen Fang thought about it now, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If Chen Fang's guess was right, the Northern Han Dynasty should already be trying to extract oil.

And as far as Chen Fang knew, North Asia and the area north of Shanhaiguan had abundant oil reserves.It would be terrible if the Northern Han Dynasty had the ability to extract oil and perform primary processing.

Chen Fang shook his head, not daring to think about it any longer. What kind of enemy is Datang North?

The shipbuilding technology of the Northern Han Dynasty at this time is far from comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty, and this does not belong to an era anymore.In a word, the Northern Han Dynasty completely crushed the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty in terms of shipbuilding.

It is even bigger than the gap between the late Qing Dynasty and the European powers.

At this time, Datang's sea-going ships still rely on oars and sculls to sail, and the other party has entered the era of internal combustion engines.Datang's sea-going ships can only sail in the offshore, along the coastline, and the other party can already cross the ocean.

This is the gap, the gap between Chiguoguo.

If the opponent equips the ship with artillery, the coastal towns of Datang will be within the range of the opponent's sea ship.

Artillery, did the Northern Han Dynasty have artillery, and was there gunpowder that could be used in military affairs?

Chen Fang wanted to say no, but he knew that thinking like this was just deceiving himself.Just now, Chen Fang had seen the reserved artillery holes on that half of the ship. If the Northern Han Dynasty did not have the ability to manufacture artillery, why did these artillery holes appear on that half of the ship?

Chen Fang looked up at the star-studded sky.I didn't expect that in Datang, I would have to face the creed that within the range is the truth that will only appear in later generations.

Half of the Northern Han ships were completely torn apart, and nothing was left behind. The two manned sea ships could only go back.

In the middle of the night, Chen Fangcai returned to the residence. Originally, Wei Xuexue wanted his wife and his party to move into his residence, but was finally rejected by the son-in-law.He also asked Mr. Wei Xue not to talk about the fact that the empress and his party came to Huating County. Naturally, Mr. Wei knew that this matter should not be nonsense, and everything was under the command of the son-in-law.

After returning to the residence, Chen Fang's complexion gradually recovered at this time, the huge ship's power center boiler and the blubber remaining in the boiler were still in his mind.

This is so much more advanced than a coal-fired boiler. What Chen Fang thought at first was actually a steam engine. However, Beihan's steps were much bigger than he thought, and it was all messed up.

Wu Meiniang was still awake, she was waiting for Chen Fang, when she saw Chen Fang, she held his hand, seeing that his complexion was not good, she didn't know what to say.

"Meiniang, I must go to Beihan!"

Chen Fang opened his mouth, not to discuss at this time, but to tell Wu Meiniang what he was going to do.

"What did you see in the sea?"

Chen Fang took Wu Meiniang's hand, but didn't speak at this time, and walked slowly into the house, covering the door.

"Meiniang, don't ask any more questions. You want the crown prince to be stable, and you want Taiping and Li Xian to live in peace, so just agree to my request."

"Is this a request?"

"Meiniang, you don't want the crown prince and the princes and princesses to see the scene of the country being ruined and the family destroyed. I also don't want Yiyang and my children to face the ending of the country being ruined and the family destroyed. We have no choice."

Wu Meiniang's hands trembled, and she stared into Chen Fang's eyes.

"You went to Beihan, what can you do?"

"I don't know either! Don't even know how to get there!"

Chen Fang sighed. He didn't know what to say at this moment. The boiler that burned the whale blubber was always in his mind. The flames lingered in the boiler, and the chemical energy of the huge whale blubber was converted into heat energy, which provided power for the ship through a specific power system.

Huge sea ships break through the huge waves, sail forward, wind power, internal combustion engine combined to build a powerful ocean weapon, will Datang's sea frontier become fragile?Within the range of the artillery, can the Mingguang armor resist it, and can the Tang sword block the rumbling artillery fire?cannot!

Chen Fang sat on the chair. In the face of the huge generational gap, his personal power was insignificant after all. What could he do if he went to Beihan by himself?How to go by myself, I have no idea at this time.

Chen Fang closed his eyes, Wu Meiniang saw him silent, sat beside him, squeezed Chen Fang's palm, but didn't know how to speak.

The two were silent with each other. In fact, at this moment, Wu Meiniang didn't know anything, but she understood that if she asked, the son-in-law wouldn't say anything to her.

She nestled in Chen Fang's arms, slightly raised her head, looked at the son-in-law who was thinking about something with closed eyes, and stroked his cheek with one hand.

"Meiniang promises you, but when you go to Beihan, you must come back."

"I know, Mei Niang, if one day this country no longer has the surname Li, I will bring you and Yiyang to the south of the Yangtze River. We will go boating all over the world, stop worrying about world affairs, and live an ordinary life. What the Northern Han Dynasty wanted was The land of Kyushu is not in ruins."

Wu Meiniang smiled faintly, but said nothing.

For a moment, Chen Fang's heart seemed to be caught by something. He understood that there was no such possibility. Either the country would be ruined and the family would perish, or in the historical turmoil, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty would still be maintained, even though the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was already very vain.

Holding Wu Meiniang in his arms, Chen Fang didn't say any more.

The two were silent with each other until the moist lips touched the corners of their own, and the woman's greed was the same as before.

The huge pressure in Chen Fang's heart seemed to find an outlet for venting at this moment. He hugged Wu Meiniang, enjoying the tenderness of this woman, and threw her hard on the bed.

Ju, who was watching the night outside, was startled when he heard the movement inside, and finally dared not go in to check.

Ju stood outside the door, and heard the commotion inside was much more intense than usual. At the end of the night, the son-in-law walked out of the house. At this time, he was wearing his clothes, and Ju saw a few finger marks on the son-in-law's chest, which had already seen blood.

Chapter 672 Thinking

"My son-in-law, you"

"No problem!"

Chen Fang stood in the courtyard and did not leave. Ju didn't know what to do, and there was a rustling sound inside.Then, Ju heard that the empress pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

The cat meowed violently at night, Chen Fang had been standing in the courtyard for half an hour, Ju finally couldn't take it anymore, and walked behind the son-in-law.

"My son-in-law, you"

Chen Fang left the yard without saying a word.Ju stood there blankly for a while, then went to watch the night for the empress again.The meowing became more and more intense at night, as if in late spring in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be too late to meow if it didn't meow a few more times.

"Ju, throw away these cats!"

Wu Meiniang lost her temper in the house, Ju quickly responded, called the night maid, and went to ask the son-in-law. At this time, for some reason, Ju wanted to ask the son-in-law about this matter.

Chen Fangrang did as she wished, and the maids threw away the cats that had been raised in the yard for a few days. These cats were not matured, so naturally they would not come back after throwing them away, but returned to the people who sold them.

Sometimes, animals understand the grace of nurturing better than humans, even if they are sold by their owners.

Throwing away the cat, she went back to the courtyard to continue the night watch. When the dawn was approaching, Ju didn't know if it was an illusion. She heard the suppressed crying of the people in the house, which was low and slow.

Ju's body trembled, and she couldn't believe that the lady in the room was crying. It must be her own illusion, yes, it must be an illusion.

The sun rose and the light shone on the earth. Chen Fang came to the beach. He bathed in the golden sunlight and looked at the sea where the water and the sky meet in front of him.

That dilapidated big ship put too much pressure on him, Chen Fang was almost out of breath. He thought that he had changed the world a lot when he came to this world. At this moment, it seems that he was just taking a walk, while others had already changed his mind. Run wildly regardless of the egg.

After one night, Chen Fang's mood gradually eased a bit, the pressure was still there, but after all, as a human being in two lives, he always knew how to deal with this pressure.

People can't be crushed by pressure, but they have to find ways to relieve this pressure.

He wanted to look for opportunities, the opportunity to get into Beihan, not as an envoy, not as an ordinary person, so he would not be able to get in touch with the heart of steel hidden under Beihan's gentle appearance.

How to sneak into Beihan, into the port and shipbuilding center of Beihan?

The sun's rays drifted among the waves, fragmented, and the fragmented light did not bring Chen Fang any inspiration or hope.

Someone stood behind Chen Fang, he didn't need to turn around, he knew that Ding Yu was worried about him and came behind him.

"Master is fine!"

"Last night, I saw Master stayed up all night, and my mind was very heavy."

"Dingyu, if you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, but you still can't get around it, what should you do?"

"Break it with strength!"

"This is your temperament, but even with strength, sometimes things can't be shaken."

Chen Fang turned around, and Dingyu walked beside him. Chen Fang held Dingyu's hand, with his back to the light, and the waves were pouring into his ears.

"Dingyu, I thought about evading, I thought about retreating, but I couldn't retreat, and I couldn't avoid it. After all, I have to face the light. Even if there is a sea of ​​flames and knives in front of me, I have to go forward. Even if I turn into ashes, there is no way to avoid it. People are sometimes moths to a flame!"

Dingyu looked at Master, not knowing what to say. In fact, at this moment, she didn't know what happened to Master that she couldn't get around.

"Master, I can help you!"

"No one can help me with this matter. With you by my side before, I feel that my master has always been protected by you, but there are always times when you can't protect me." Bayi Chinese Network

Chen Fang put his hands on Dingyu's shoulders, and gently rubbed her shoulders with his palms.

Dingyu threw herself into Chen Fang's arms, with the splendor of glory behind her, and the blue sea and blue sky behind her.

"Let's go back!"

After returning to the house, Chen Fang went back to his own residence, nestled on the bed, and meditated.

Chen Fang was thinking about how to sneak into the shipbuilding center of the Northern Han Dynasty, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no clue.

The shipbuilding center and port base of the Northern Han Dynasty should be the most closely guarded places in the Northern Han Dynasty. It is like the Chengtian Temple in the Tang Dynasty, where the Shou Si Jian has not even spread its reputation. How to get there.
