Chapter 3744 The Sudden Change-

After hearing Zhu Hengyu's words, the eighteen engineers were stunned for a moment.

After thinking about it carefully, they had to admit that Zhu Hengyu's words made sense.

In this world, nothing is absolute.

If it is as everyone said, everything has been achieved to the extreme and there is absolutely no way to increase it.

So why continue to study this steel battleship project?

After a short moment of silence, the engineer obviously refused to show weakness.

Even more stubborn and stubborn than Zhu Hengyu.

The most important thing is that people who engage in science and research do not have high emotional intelligence.

Especially when it comes to academic issues, it is even more difficult to get rid of the sand in your eyes.

One thing means one thing, and two things means two things. There is no ambiguity.

anyway……

It was certainly embarrassing for Zhu Hengyu to be speechless by eighteen engineers.

But on the other hand, isn't it embarrassing for eighteen engineers to be speechless by a mere layman?

This is the most embarrassing thing.

Shrugging his shoulders, the engineer said: "Not to mention whether increasing the size of the battleship will work, the problem now is that our existing technology does not support us increasing the size of the battleship."

"For now, our technology only supports us to build such a large ship."

"We can't build a bigger ship than this."

Zhu Hengyu also got angry when he saw the other party and attacked him directly.

He was speechless if he didn't retaliate, and it seemed that he was unwilling to give up.

In embarrassment, Zhu Hengyu pointed in the direction of the nail plate and said: "Why can't it be increased? If you use steel plates to cover the space above the deck, won't the volume increase?"

Facing Zhu Hengyu's words, the engineer said helplessly: "You are just messing around. It makes no sense at all, okay?"

With a sneer, Zhu Hengyu said: "I don't care whether it makes sense or not, but don't say it so dogmatically."

While talking...

Zhu Hengyu turned around and walked to a row of display racks next to him.

On the display rack, there were dozens of ship models.

Gently picking up the models of two ordinary wooden ships, Zhu Hengyu turned around and faced the eighteen engineers.

In front of everyone, Zhu Hengyu turned one of the wooden boats upside down and tied it to the other wooden boat.

Looking at everyone, Zhu Hengyu said: "Even if you can only build such a big ship, as long as you fasten the two ships like this, won't the size increase?"

But……

Looking at Zhu Hengyu helplessly, the engineer said: "It makes no sense. Although the volume has doubled, the weight has also doubled!"

Waving his hand, Zhu Hengyu said: "I don't care whether it makes sense or not, I just want to tell you that under the current technical conditions, I have successfully doubled the size of the battleship!"

"Moreover, the doubled volume does not need to accommodate a large amount of machinery and equipment like the lower part. All it takes is a shell."

Listening to Zhu Hengyu's story...

At the beginning, everyone looked disapproving.

But as they continued to listen, everyone's expressions gradually became serious.

Indeed, every battleship needs to install a large amount of machinery and equipment.

It’s impossible to build just one hull…

Otherwise, does it have to be driven by oars and manpower?

There was silence for a while...

One of the engineers said: "Go...get the model of the steel battleship, prepare the water tank, and let's test it."

Following the engineer's order, everyone quickly took action.

soon……

A transparent water tank made of colorless crystals was brought over.

Then, someone used a bucket to get sea water and poured it into the water tank.

On the other side, two engineers each brought a one-meter-long steel battleship model.

Although this battleship is small in size, it has the same proportions as a real steel battleship.

The proportions are the same, both in terms of size and weight.

First, he tentatively put the model of the steel battleship into the water tank.

Obviously, that steel battleship cannot float.

As soon as it entered the water, it sank straight down and landed at the bottom of the water tank.

Faced with this, no one is surprised.

After all, this kind of test has been experienced countless times.

Immediately afterwards...

The engineer responsible for the construction of the battleship's hull took steel plates of the same proportion and sealed them in the upper space of the battleship.

The shape of the steel battleship is like an eggplant.

However, as a battleship, this eggplant is only half.

What they have to do now is to fasten the other half of the eggplant.

It only took half an hour for the space above the battleship to be completely sealed.

Looking at the battleship model in their hands, all the engineers felt like crying.

Is this still a battleship?

It looks like this is a big eggplant with two pointed ends!

But whatever the shape, that's not the point.

The point is, such a battleship

, can it float on the water!

Plop...

With a sound of water, the eggplant-shaped battleship was put into the water tank.

Under everyone's gaze...

As soon as the eggplant-shaped warship entered the water, it sank to the bottom.

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads in disappointment.

Looking at the battleship slowly landing at the bottom of the water tank, everyone knew that this idea had failed.

Just when everyone was disappointed, Zhu Hengyu said flatly: "No... the newly added hatch cover does not have a weight-reducing magic pattern on it. This test cannot be counted."

kindness?

After hearing Zhu Hengyu's words, everyone turned and looked at the battleship model.

What you see...

Sure enough, the lower part of the battleship lit up with complicated magic patterns.

But the upper part of the battleship was completely dark.

After shaking his head, an engineer said, "Actually, the magic pattern does not provide much buoyancy and has little impact."

Faced with this statement, Zhu Hengyu said: "Even if the difference is not big, it is of great significance, or... are you too lazy to carve the magic patterns?"

Hearing Zhu Hengyu's words, the engineer immediately shut his mouth.

How can a researcher get by like this?

Soon, someone picked up the battleship model and carefully carved magic patterns on the upper half of the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

Looking at the newly added hundreds of thousands of magic patterns, Zhu Hengyu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, now we can continue testing."

While speaking, Zhu Hengyu personally held up the battleship model.

Carefully, he placed the battleship model into the water tank.

Wow...

With a soft sound, the battleship sank into the water as soon as it entered the water.

Seeing this scene, the eighteen engineers around them suddenly sighed in disappointment.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Under everyone's gaze, the battleship just sank slightly, and then floated toward the water again!

Wow!

Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene screamed loudly.

Looking carefully, the dark steel battleship floated on the water like a black fish.

certainly……

This kind of floating is not the kind of floating that ordinary ships do.

If you compare this battleship to an eggplant.

Then only the back spine of the eggplant is exposed above the water.

More than 90% of the ship's hull is covered under the sea water.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Is this a success or a failure?
