Chapter 342 Time Flies (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"Captain Beidou, please stop bragging about this guy. He may appear to be modest to you, but in his heart he is so proud of himself!"

Ying and Paimeng both put their hands on their waists and looked at Li Qiuzhi with disdain.

"Well, we better use this sea area quickly, so as not to attract more monsters by the smell of blood."

Li Qiuzhi touched his nose awkwardly and changed the subject.

"Haha, that's right." Beidou chuckled twice, then turned his right eye, which was not covered by the eye patch, to look at the burly man at the rudder and said, "Hailong, tell the brothers to wake up and speed up to use this sea area."

Not only does the Death Star have a row of huge oars on each side, but there are also two propellers at the tail that look like wooden wheels.

With them, the Death Star can still sail normally even when there is no wind and the sails cannot function.

For example, when there is wind now, activating them together with the sails can give the Death Star a slight acceleration. If it encounters any danger, they will be of great help.

The only drawback is that both the propeller and the two rows of large oars extending from both sides of the hull are human-powered.

It takes several sailors to row a single oar, so if everyone wants to speed up the Death Star, they have to stay awake.

Watching Hailong heading to the hold to call for help, Li Qiuzhi suddenly said to Ying:

"Do you think it's possible for us to make a steam engine?"

If the Death Star is equipped with a steam engine, it will not only save manpower but also greatly improve performance!

He had never seen anything like this in Mondstadt or Liyue, but perhaps the relatively developed Fontaine and Winter Solstice might have some.

But whatever their situation is, since nothing like a steam engine has appeared in Mondstadt and Liyue.

This shows that the steam engine market in at least these two countries is blank. If they can develop the steam engine, they can still make a lot of money!

Anyway, with the development of society, the emergence of steam power should be inevitable. Instead of letting others make the money, it is better for them to do it!

Moreover, a steam engine is essentially about boiling water. It might be possible to use fire element ores instead of coal mines. It is pure and pollution-free, and there is no need to worry about the emergence of steam engines causing damage to the climate and environment.

As for the problems that fire element ore is scarce and expensive and not worth using for boiling water, these problems are actually easy to solve.

After all, although there are not many fire element ores, fire slimes are quite common!
If we catch them and lock them up together, and use them instead of fire to boil water, it is very feasible. After all, that's what the Qiuqiu people do, and these "predecessors" have already practiced it.

Moreover, as elemental life forms, they can absorb the fire element in the environment to survive, so there is basically no need to spend any effort to raise them.

If all else fails, throw a piece of fire ore in. Based on Li Qiuzhi's experience, it will probably be enough to keep a bunch of fire slimes "eating" for a long time.

This is much more economical than simply using fire element ore and burning coal, and it does not require much care and attention, so it is very convenient.

Li Qiuzhi had already thought of the hot-selling situation of the "Fire Slime-type Steam Engine" when it was first launched. After all, the role of the steam engine was so huge that it even promoted the industrial development of Mondstadt and Liyue!

"It's easy for you to say, but do you know how to design it?"

She glanced at him with her fluorescent amber eyes and shook her head.

"It's good enough to know the principle and have an idea. As for how to make it, let Ningguang find some scholars in related fields to set up a laboratory to conduct research."

Li Qiuzhi put his arm around Ying's shoulders, kissed her cheek naturally, and smiled as he gave a very lazy but still feasible solution.

A great inventor only needs a little inspiration and clear ideas, and leave the specific problems to others.

"You guy, it seems like you can do it." Ying staggered and stood closer to Li Qiuzhi, then rested her chin on her hand and thought about it for a while without paying any attention, and found that it seemed to really work.

"Well, the two of them are talking about something incomprehensible again."

Paimon spread his hands helplessly.

"Haha, we don't understand either." Beidou smiled and looked at the sky, then said to Inazuma's wandering samurai, "Manye, there is no wind now, come and help."

"Ah."

Fengyuan Manye nodded, and casually drew the wind elements between heaven and earth to blow on the sails to help the Death Star move forward.

See this situation.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying also stopped their discussion and also attracted an appropriate amount of wind elements to blow on the sails to share Wan Ye's pressure.

Under the vast night sky, the Death Star left the sea area at an extremely fast speed.

But before leaving completely, Li Qiuzhi summoned out the "Fluorescent Sword God" and asked "her" to stay where she was, in case the corpse and blood of the giant beast really attracted many monsters.

Isn't that a good opportunity to gain experience points?
After leaving that sea area, the following days became a boring life at sea.

Of course, Li Qiuzhi would not stay on the boat forever.

When I have time, I have to go back to Mondstadt to spend time with Fischl, Sucrose and other girls, as well as Shenhe, Hutao and Yunjin in Liyue. Whoever has free time, I will go and chat with them.

This is necessary in order to gain favor.

Mona often came to the "fairyland" to study the mysterious starry sky. Most of the time, she studied so much that she forgot to eat and sleep. Li Qiuzhi had to bring her meals because he couldn't let her go hungry.

While they were busy, Li Qiuzhi would go out on the sea to look for monsters to gain experience points.

You really don't know until you come to the sea. There are so many monsters here, and most of them are fish monsters, such as the black-eyed fish with two rows of serrations, the knife-toothed shark that swims very fast and can use the element of lightning, etc.

In just a few days, the types of monsters Li Qiuzhi saw exceeded what he had seen on land in more than half a year.

The ocean is indeed a vast unknown world!
In addition to developing relationships with the girls, he is also concerned about the affairs of the "Sweet Flower Chamber of Commerce".

I often go to Ningguang to inquire about the production progress of bicycles and entertainment and educational game toys such as chess and cards. The former is still in the stage of setting up factories and production lines.

The latter was faster, and it took only one week to complete all the production preparations and start mass production.

In less than half a month, the store of "Tiantian Flower Chamber of Commerce" was opened and the first product was sold!
Li Qiuzhi was also looking forward to this, as it meant that the day was not far away for him and Ying to make a profit and become rich!
Li Qiuzhi also talked to Ningguang in detail about the steam engine. She also attached great importance to it and had already started to set up a steam engine laboratory for research.

After all, it can trigger a series of industrial reforms, greatly liberate productivity and make people's work more diversified.

The steam engine that promotes social progress and national strength, how could Ningguang from Tianquan Star not be tempted by it, except as a businessman? She had to make it even if it cost her a lot of Mora or even at a loss!
A fulfilling day makes you feel no time passing.

Soon, a month passed, and huge changes had taken place in Li Qiuzhi himself, as well as the people and things around him.
