After hearing Zhu Hengyu's words, the eighteen engineers were stunned at first.

After careful consideration, they had to admit that Zhu Hengyu's words made sense.

There is really nothing in this world that is absolutely true.

If it is true as everyone said, all aspects have been achieved to the extreme and cannot be increased any more.

So why continue to study this steel warship project?

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

He is even more stubborn and stubborn than Zhu Hengyu.

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

Especially when it comes to academic issues, it makes you unable to rub sand in your eyes.

There is one thing to say, two things to say, and there is no ambiguity.

Having said that...

Zhu Hengyu was speechless by eighteen engineers.

But on the other hand, wouldn’t it be embarrassing that the eighteen engineers were speechless by a pure layman?

This is the most embarrassing thing.

Shrugging his shoulders, the engineer said: "Not to mention increasing the volume of the warship is not useful, the problem now is that our existing technology does not support us in increasing the volume of the warship."

"For now, our technology only supports us in building such a large ship."

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

When Zhu Hengyu saw the other party fighting directly, he was also angry.

If he didn't criticize him, it seemed that he would not give up.

In amazement, Zhu Hengyu pointed to the direction of his fingernail and said, "Why can't it be added? You use steel plates to cover the space above the deck, and the volume will be increased?"

Facing Zhu Hengyu's words, the engineer said helplessly: "You are just messing around, is this meaningless at all?"

With a sneer, Zhu Hengyu said, "I don't care if it's meaningful or not, don't be so arbitrary."

Between talking...

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

On the display rack were dozens of models of ships.

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

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

Looking at everyone, Zhu Hengyu said, "Even if you can only build such a large ship, just by capturing the two ships like this, will it increase in size?"

But……

Looking at Zhu Hengyu helplessly, the engineer said, "It's meaningless for you to do this. Although the size has doubled, the weight has also doubled!"

After 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 existing technical conditions, I have successfully doubled the size of the warship!"

"And, this doubles the volume, does not need to accommodate a large amount of machinery and equipment like the lower half, just build a shell."

Listening to Zhu Hengyu's story...

At the beginning, everyone looked disapproving.

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

Indeed, every warship needs to be equipped with a large amount of machinery and equipment.

It is impossible to build only one hull...

Otherwise, would it take the oars and manpower to drive them?

I was silent for a long time...

One of the engineers said: "Go... take the model of the steel warship, prepare the water cabinet, and let's test it."

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

soon……

A transparent water cabinet made of colorless crystals was taken over.

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

On the other side, two engineers brought a model of an iron warship of more than one meter long.

Although this battleship is very small, it is in the same proportion as a real steel battleship.

Regardless of size and weight, the proportions are the same.

First, he tentatively put the model of the steel warship into the water cabinet.

Obviously, that steel warship cannot float.

As soon as the water entered, it sank straight down and fell to the bottom of the water cabinet.

In this regard, everyone was not surprised.

After all, such tests have been experienced countless times.

Then...

The engineer responsible for building the warship hull took out the same proportion of steel plates and closed them in the upper space of the warship.

The shape of the steel warship is like an eggplant.

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

What they have to do now is to button up the other half of this eggplant.

In just half an hour, the space above the warship was completely closed.

Looking at the battleship model in his hand, all the engineers were in tears.

Is this still a warship?

It seems that this is a big eggplant with pointed ends!

But no matter what the shape is, this is not the point.

The point is whether such a warship can float on the surface!

Plop...

With a sound of water, the eggplant-shaped warship was placed in the water cabinet.

Under everyone's eyes...

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

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads in disappointment.

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

Just when everyone was disappointed, Zhu Hengyu spoke flatly: "No... the newly added hatch does not depict the weight-reducing magic pattern, and this test cannot be counted."

kindness?

Hearing Zhu Hengyu's words, everyone turned to look at the warship model.

What you see in your eyes...

Sure enough, complicated magic patterns lit up in the lower half of the battleship.

But the upper half of the battleship was pitch black.

Shaking his head, an engineer spoke, "In fact, the magic pattern does not provide too much buoyancy and has little impact."

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

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

How can those who do research just do this?

Soon, someone caught the model of the warship and carefully carved magic patterns on the upper half of the cabin.

In a 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 picked up the model of the warship.

Carefully put the warship model into the water cabinet.

Hurry...

With a light sound, the warship sank into the water as soon as it entered the water.

Seeing this scene, the eighteen engineers around him suddenly sighed with disappointment.

But at this moment, the mutation broke out!
