Master of Thermodynamics

Chapter 182: Thousand Bull Ship

The predecessor of the Odin was the White-tailed Sparrow. After installing the finalized Thermal Demon engine, the lord waved his hand and the ship received a new name-Odin.

From the name "Odin", you can see how much the Lord's expectation of this new sailing ship is.

According to the Rune Institute, the Heat Demon engine mounted on the Odin has a maximum power of more than 5,600 kilowatts, which is 25% higher than the prototype.

Elon doesn't know what a kilowatt is. In order to understand this concept, he once asked Rune Mage Murphy privately.

However, after seeing a large number of mathematical formulas listed by Murphy, Elon was completely dizzy, and Murphy's subsequent explanation, he did not understand a word.

After listening to the scriptures for 2 hours, Elon only remembered one thing, that is, these daunting mathematical formulas are all the greatest wisdom of Lord Lord.

Because it is difficult to remember, Murphy will praise Lord Lord with a pious face every time he lists a formula. After being brainwashed dozens of times, I am afraid that Elon will hardly forget it in his life.

It wasn't until Murphy inadvertently mentioned that the power output by a cow plowing the land was about 5 or 6 kilowatts, and Elon finally realized it.

One cow is equal to 4 kilowatts, so how many cows is equal to 5600 kilowatts?

At least 1,000!

Oh my god, the 6-meter-long and 3-meter-wide Thermal Devil engine below the deck is actually equivalent to 1,000 cows?

how can that be?

1,000 cows can be piled into a cow mountain. The size of that machine is less than one percent of the "niu mountain", but its power is stronger than a "niu mountain"?

This result also shocked Elon and couldn't close his chin for a long time.

Thinking back to and behind his eyes, Elon suddenly found that the surface of the steering wheel seemed to be stained with sweat. He quickly took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped the location of the sweat several times.

At this moment, First Officer Lutherford hurriedly walked into the wheelhouse at the stern and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the tug is ready, and you can tow the Odin out of the berth in the port at any time..."

Elon nodded and said, "Notify them to start towing immediately."

Lutherford pointed his right finger at the location of the mast, lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, Lord Lord is standing on the top of the mast. Would you like to ask Lord Lord for instructions first?"

Elon immediately rejected the suggestion: "No, Lord Lord has given me full responsibility for this maiden voyage."

After hesitating, he decided to mention his confidant. He said softly: "As far as I know, Lord Lord doesn't like complicated and useless etiquette. Compared with the respectfulness, this lord favors high efficiency. Subordinates..."

"That is, someone who does things quickly and beautifully..."

There was a tangible gratitude in Lu Defu's eyes. This message is extremely important to anyone who is "enthusiastic about careers."

Because knowing the preferences of the Lord Lord means that at the critical moment, you can better prescribe the right medicine and attract the Lord Lord's attention more. It also means that you will gain the first-mover advantage in the competition with your colleagues.

The principle of "preconception" is not only known to the people of the earth, but also to the people of other worlds. If they can make a deep and good impression on the lord in the first contact, the chances of reusing them will increase significantly in the future. Big.

So Rutherford knew very well that the captain's inadvertent mention might completely change his life. How could he not be grateful?

Lutherford nodded heavily at Elon, walked out of the cabin quickly, and started running with small steps on the deck.

After a while, Elon heard Rudolf’s yelling, "Zoff, the captain has an order, leave the port immediately..."

He took a deep breath and held the steering wheel with both hands. Through the open window of the cockpit, he saw sailors running on the deck and the turbulent sea in the distance.

After entering the wind-tracing moon, the sea breeze is obviously stronger. When there is almost no tranquility on the sea, coupled with the increasingly frequent undercurrents, ordinary ships dare not go out to sea at all.

But for the Heat Devil engine, this is an excellent testing ground. If it can successfully overcome the turbulence, the storm season will no longer be an obstacle for humans to conquer the ocean.

After a while, Elon felt the hull of the ship move slightly, and then the scenes on both sides began to retreat slowly.

Departed!

In front of the Odin, two magic power boats are pulling the Odin slowly forward.

The port’s waters are complex and the waterways are narrow and curved. If a huge ship like Odin relies on its own power to get out of the berth, it takes a long time, and because it must maintain a low speed, it consumes a lot of fuel.

In addition, the inertia of large ships is also large. In the event of an accident, it is often difficult to brake in time. If it is not done properly, it may damage the dock or the hull, so using a tugboat is the best choice.

After the magic power boat dragged the Odin out of the berth more than 100 meters, the sailors on the deck untied the cable, and the sailors on the boat waved at them, then turned around and drove towards the port.

After receiving the news from Lutherford, Elon issued the first order.

"Notify the power compartment and start the Thermo Demon engine immediately!"

A sailor responded with a loud voice, rushed out of the cockpit and ran to the power cabin under the deck.

Ten seconds later, Elon heard a low excitement from a sailor beside him. He immediately turned his head and looked back, only to see a faint black smoke coming out of the chimney at the stern.

This is exactly the situation when the Heat engine starts.

People from the Rune Research Institute said that the black smoke produced when starting is more obvious, and the black smoke will become extremely light after the Thermo Demon engine enters a stable running state.

A weird feeling suddenly surged in Elon's heart.

On a normal sailboat, fire prevention is a very important thing at a glance, because the ship is full of dry wood. Once a fire occurs, the fire will spread very quickly, and the rescue speed will be slightly slower, and the whole ship will directly become a large torch.

Elon never thought that one day he would actually drive a fire-powered ship.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shook his head and issued a second command.

"Notify the power cabin, switch to the first gear state!"

The bow of a ship more than 2 stories high continuously split several waves of more than 1 meter in height, causing large splashes of water, and the hull of the ship was obviously undulating.

However, compared to a small sailing ship of dozens of tons, the Odin, which shuttles in the waves, is quite stable, and even ordinary sailors can stand firmly on the deck.

At this time, First Officer Lutherford was standing on the deck with 6 or 7 sailors. In order to avoid accidents, everyone was tied with a safety rope.

Lutherford hugged a large oval cylinder in his hand, turned his head and said to the sailors around him: "Throw the ball, get ready to time!"

A group of people acted immediately.

Two strong sailors lifted a huge red wooden ball, easily lifted it above their heads, and threw it out of the ship's side.

The wooden ball drew an arc in the air and landed on the surface of the sea 7 or 8 meters away. It smashed into a circle of waves. After a few more ups and downs, it floated on the water, and only less than 1/10 of its volume was submerged in the water. , Obviously this is a hollow wooden ball.

The slender hull of the Odin broke through the layers of water, passed near the wooden ball, and quickly threw the wooden ball behind.

On the other side, the moment the wooden ball entered the water, the eyes of the two sailors fell on a wooden box, staring at a pointer that kept turning.

This is a clock!

To be precise, it is a magic clock!
