Chapter 516518. Compass Car

Ouyang Bing, "We will board the ship without anyone noticing and won't leave any traces for ourselves.

If Miss Zhong were to find out, Madam could shirk all responsibility."

After all, they have been together for many years, so Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian are not so unkind. "You don't have to tell us about this. As long as you have the ability to hide on the ship, we can't do anything to you."

Ouyang Bing, "..."

Gu Wenheng put the two porcelain bottles on the table into his pocket and said, "You haven't been here today, and we haven't met before."

Since I have agreed to it, I will feel no guilt in accepting it.

Ouyang Bing breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if it was in the past, he would have hidden himself away, but now Gu Wenheng was the prefect of a city, and he might have a bright future. He didn't want to bring such an enemy to his family.

Now that he had a clear path, he would not have to come into conflict with Miss Zhong before the two elders arrived.

After they left, Jin Qianqian frowned and asked, "Is it really okay to let them get on board?"

“Nothing, even though they are from the underworld, they don’t want to be enemies with the government.

Miss Zhong was not stupid before, she should have guessed that Ouyang Bing would look for your support.

She will just let this matter go, and you can guess her position.

But it is another matter for us to protect people by our side. For them, it is undoubtedly a provocation.

Now, they are on board themselves, and if something goes wrong, we will also be victims.”

Jin Qianqian gave him a thumbs up, "They say that people in the officialdom are cunning and have many money, and it seems that this is not false at all."

Gu Wenheng raised his hand and flicked her forehead. "Why do I feel like this isn't a compliment?"

Jin Qianqian covered her forehead and said, "If you don't have a shrewd and cunning plan, and your swords and spears are sharp..."

The ship that went out to sea first this time was not built according to the drawings provided by Jin Qianqian and others, but was a repaired ship of the pirates. It was now used by everyone to practice and train in the nearby waters.

On the day when the repaired ship was pushed back into the sea, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian arrived at the simply built port early.

This place was originally used by fishermen to dock their boats, but now it has been expanded to become a small port that can accommodate more boats.

"It looks like a good start," Zhou Shixiong said as he stood beside them. "Have you studied all the details thoroughly?"

Jin Qianqian, "We have figured it out. The craftsmen have also drawn the blueprints of these ships bit by bit. As long as we give them time, they can build exactly the same ones."

Jin Qianqian sometimes couldn’t understand. Although this dynasty was not recorded in history, she didn’t know why it was so backward.

It's just such an ordinary sailing vessel, and no one has built it for so many years.

In fact, she didn't know that people in the past had figured it out before, but unfortunately, they encountered a few disasters and everyone gave up the idea.

Moreover, so many emperors did not pay attention to maritime affairs, and no one put any effort into it.

"Would you like this, sister-in-law?" Zhou Shixiong asked with a smile, "Based on the blueprint of the ship in your sister-in-law's hand, it looks like it should be more than twice as large as this one, right?"

Jin Qianqian naturally had to be modest at this moment, "These are all real things, and those I have are still illusory things, and I have to wait for time to put them into practice.

I believe that with these few boats, everyone can go further and accumulate more sailing experience.”

"That being said, I'm still unsure. Even if there are a few experienced fishermen on the boat, I'm afraid they will get lost at sea."

Zhou Shixiong expressed his concerns. After all, getting lost on the sea is fatal.

Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian had already prepared for this matter. Although they could not take out a compass from space, there had already been a compass car in the ancient times of this time and space.

Gu Wenheng, a master of hands-on work, had already used the time difference in space to create two.

Although it occupies a larger space and is not as small as those in later generations, it only takes up a small corner when placed on a boat.

"Don't worry about that," Gu Wenheng saw that the ship had already docked, and led Zhou Shixiong and others to the deck.

Leading the people to the cabin, Gu Wenheng pointed to the compass in the corner and said, "I made the compass recorded in ancient books. The captain has used it in practice and the direction pointed by this compass is correct."

Zhou Shixiong circled the natural car twice and said, "I have heard of this thing before, but the craftsmanship has been lost. Brother Gu is so talented that he can make it."

Wu Yichen and the others who were following behind were bewildered. What use could such a thing be?

It's not their fault. They all got their current official positions because they were from Mengyin. They had never gone through the systematic imperial examinations, let alone something so unconventional.

"General, what is this?" Deputy General Wang asked as he didn't understand.

Zhou Shixiong, "I have read in military books that hundreds of years ago, people used this to identify directions, and it was a great weapon for marching and fighting.

It’s a pity that it disappeared for some unknown reason. My father used to feel a little disappointed when he mentioned it.”

"In that case, this thing is really useful in the vast ocean." Vice Admiral Wang couldn't help but touch it. "It's a pity that we are rough and can't understand it."

Gu Wenheng, "This is simple. If you want to understand, let the captain explain it to you later."

Since Gu Wenheng has come up with this thing, he naturally thought that if it could be promoted in the future, it would be a benefit to the people.

When it comes to new things, everyone's eyes sparkle with the desire for knowledge.

Gu Wenheng did not even talk about taking them to visit the ship. He directly called the captain and asked him to explain to these people the use of the compass.

Seeing everyone surrounding the compass car, Gu Wenheng took Jin Qianqian's hand and stood on the deck.

Jin Qianqian looked at the blue sky and the sea, and couldn't help but sigh, "As long as we make a little progress in every little thing, it will be a bigger step forward for future development."

Gu Wenheng, "These can only be achieved slowly over time. At least we have done what we should do."

Jin Qianqian looked sideways at him and said, "With this compass car, everyone will feel more at ease.

If someone continues to want to buy shares, should I accept them or not?"

Gu Wenheng, "Haven't you already made up your mind?"

Jin Qianqian, "Yes, at the beginning, we were just doing small things, and we don't know how the people we sent to Haicheng to get information are doing now.

I only knew that these foreign merchants liked to purchase some brocade and porcelain from us, but I forgot to find out what goods they usually brought back."

These days, Jin Qianqian has been thinking about the small commodities she came across in Haicheng before.
