Chapter 312: Advantages but also a crime
Chapter 312: Advantages but also a crime
The ship drawn on Lin Qing's drawing was very similar to the sea gull ship that Ye Wuwei had seen in the information before.
The ship is not large in size, with a low bow and a high stern, and a wide front and narrow back hull. It was designed and built in imitation of the appearance of a sea gull.
There are four to eight floats on each side of the ship, which can keep the ship stable even when sailing in rough seas. Therefore, it is called an all-weather warship by many scholars and is one of the famous combat ships in the navy.
Compared to the merchant ship we saw before, the sea hawk ship is indeed more advanced, especially for use in naval battles.
After hearing Ye Wuwei mention the "Sea Falcon Ship," Lin Qing asked, "Have you ever seen a Sea Falcon Ship?"
Ye Wuwei pointed at the blueprint and asked Lin Qing, "Did you draw this?"
“To be precise, it was my master’s idea. She once described the shape of the seagull ship orally, and then I drew it.
After I drew it, she also called it a sea hawk ship."
Ye Wuwei recalled the "SOS" sign he had seen in the Luo family's forbidden area and asked:
"Back then, regarding the SOS sign, I remember you said your master told you about it?"
"Yes, that's what my master told me. She said it was a symbol for help."
"What kind of person is your master?"
Since he knew about the SOS sign and the seagull ship, Ye Wuwei suspected that Lin Qing's master also traveled from the modern times to the Qi Dynasty.
Seeing that Ye Wuwei was only talking to Lin Qing and ignored him, Qi Wushuang felt a little unwilling. He held Ye Wuwei's hand and began to play with Ye Wuwei's fingers.
Ye Wuwei twitched his hand, "Stop messing around, let's get down to business."
Lin Qing glanced at the two of them and said nothing.
Ye Wuwei asked Lin Qing again: "What kind of person is your master?"
“My master knows a lot of things that we don’t, but she seems to just understand them but not be very proficient in them.
Twenty-six years ago, the Yuwen family spent a large sum of money to recruit shipbuilding technicians, and she volunteered to be a shipbuilder.
My mother was a servant who did laundry and cleaning for the master. Seeing that I was very interested in craftsmanship, the master taught me some skills.
Later, my master saw that I was very talented in craftsmanship and production, so he officially accepted me as his apprentice.
The master often said some strange things, talking about her hometown. But when I asked her where her hometown was, she would not tell me.
It's just a place far away, and I can never go back."
"What strange things did your master say?"
"Master said the most inconvenient thing here is the lack of internet, so I can't even surf.
He often says that it would be great if he had a mobile phone so that life wouldn’t be so boring.
When I was little, I was very curious and asked her what the Internet was, why we needed it to surf the Internet, and what a mobile phone was.
Every time I asked, Master just smiled, and then I stopped asking."
After hearing this, Ye Wuwei was basically certain that Lin Qing's master, like him, had traveled from modern times to the Qi Dynasty.
Why did one, two, or three of them travel from the modern era to the Qi Dynasty?
"How did your master die?"
“Death from overwork.
The master had originally volunteered to build ships for the Yuwen family for the huge sum of money. She had thought she could make money for a few years and then leave, but not only could she not leave, she didn't even have her personal freedom.
The master works until late at night every day and his activities are limited to the dock.
The master regretted this very much.
So even though I have learned a lot of skills, and the five-story ship of the Yuwen family was also built by my master and me, my master has never shown my skills in front of the Yuwen family.
Master doesn't want me to be controlled by the Yuwen family for the rest of my life.
Ten years ago, Master died of a heart attack caused by overwork.
After my master passed away, the Yuwen family felt that I was useless and relaxed their surveillance of me, which gave me the opportunity to escape from the dock.
But I didn’t understand how evil people are, because after I made an automatic blower, an aerial kite, etc., I was caught by Robbie.
I didn't want to be controlled by others like my master for the rest of my life, so I refused to work for Robi and was imprisoned for eight years.
If you hadn't saved me, I might have been imprisoned for life."
Hearing this, Ye Wuwei was very emotional.
For modern people to travel back to ancient times and master high-tech technology is an advantage but also has its own disadvantages.
Lin Qing's master did not understand this point, which is why he was controlled by the Yuwen family for more than ten years and eventually died of overwork.
When he first traveled to the Qi Dynasty, Qi Wushuang also took a fancy to his skills in refining coke, so he stayed in Anping County for two years.
However, Qi Wushuang was not like Yuwen after all. Although he sent people to monitor him, he did not restrict his personal freedom, nor did he exploit him excessively.
Ye Wuwei turned to look at Qi Wushuang:
"What would you have done to me if I had taken my coke technology and defected to someone else?"
Qi Wushuang's heart was filled with alarm, and he avoided the question: "You won't switch to someone else."
"Why wouldn't I?"
Qi Wushuang said shamelessly: "Because I treat you well."
Although Qi Wushuang himself didn't believe this, he could only say this.
Ye Wuwei smiled: "You can't say you were good to me at the beginning."
Qi Wushuang reached out and held Ye Wuwei's hand:
"How have I treated you badly? When you were at the coke yard, you had the final say, and I never interfered with you.
Later, the liquor factory, the glass factory, the military factory, which one was not at your disposal? You were at your command.
Ye Wuwei was too lazy to argue with Qi Wushuang.
At the beginning, Qi Wushuang was not very good to him, but he was not bad either.
Otherwise, Ye Wuwei would have left long ago.
Unlike Lin Qing's master, Ye Wuwei only has skills. What he is best at is killing.
However, at the beginning, he and Qi Wushuang were just ordinary superiors and subordinates, and it was impossible for Qi Wushuang to take special care of him.
Lin Qing glanced at the two clasped hands and asked, "Are you a couple?"
At this time, Xiao He just brought some tea and snacks over. After hearing these words, she was at a loss as to whether to go forward or retreat.
Xiao He put the snacks on the table with all her might, thinking:
Miss Lin is so straightforward in her words. Doesn't she know that some things can only be seen but not spoken out?
Xiao He quietly looked at Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei. Qi Wushuang did not look unhappy, and Ye Wuwei did not feel embarrassed.
Xiao He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put down the snacks and stepped back.
Ye Wuwei did not answer Lin Qing's question. He pulled his hands out of Qi Wushou's and continued to ask Lin Qing:
"Most people would have collapsed if locked in a room for eight years. How did you maintain your mentality?"
"It's nothing. Although I'm imprisoned, my mind hasn't stopped thinking.
I would think of many clever gadgets and draw on the ground with my fingers while I was thinking.
Because there is no pen and ink, I have to pay more attention to remember the pictures drawn by my fingers in my mind.
As time went by, I found that my memory and imagination were getting better and better.
Not all of the gadgets I thought of were feasible, but there were a dozen or so that I thought were quite practical.
If you're interested, I can draw all the cool gadgets I find useful."
"Something?"
"Magnetization can be used to make a needle that points the direction, which can be used in navigation.
I have already made this finished product, and it has a good effect in pointing the direction.
There is also a human-powered treadle plow, which is driven by human power and can reduce dependence on livestock and make land plowing more efficient.
