Towards Eternity
Ch 536's. Steam Machine
Dead Sea, who are the inhabitants of Huwa Islands who have never heard of it?
The sea that became the nest of many sea beasts is very famous because it has taken a lot of lives. The sailors who pass through it can almost be declared one hundred percent will die and disappear with the ship they use. Only people who were not sane or confident in the strength they passed by would dare to pass in this sea.
The people who managed to sail and pass it would definitely not want to if offered to pass it once again. Therefore, a special route was made to pass through the Dead Sea. But the dangers and challenges of this route still had dangers capable of making someone in the Soul Cleansing realm a difficulty.
The ship used is not just any ship. Ships commonly used to be able to pass through all obstacles on this particular route must at least be strong enough to receive a large wave, the poles must be sturdy when facing a storm, at least, as well as being able to withstand the weight of a sea beast that is famous for their ferocity and body size.
Even Choi who was famous for his madness never thought of creating something that could pass through the Dead Sea without passing through a special path.
"What's? Aren't you a genius who can create magical items? Or maybe you're just exaggerating your abilities?" Weng Lou asked in a dubious tone but it seemed that Choi was not provoked in the least.
"Listen to this Big Brother, even if a ship of any strength was created to withstand the attacks of a savage beast, it would still be smashed into pieces if it could not escape from the pursuit of the beasts. Even if it was the strongest warship, when faced with hundreds of ferocious beasts at once, then only destruction awaited the ship," choi said seriously and assumed Weng Lou knew nothing at all.
Choi who felt that he was wasting his time there immediately went back to the city while Weng Lou had issued a blueprint that he had stored well and called Choi back.
"Then what if I say, that I have something capable of offsetting, even surpassing the rate of those beasts? Do you still not believe?"
Choi's footsteps stopped and turned around with her interested face. He had to admit, his conversation with Weng Lou had made his curiosity and his great curiosity to be excited. In fact, he actually wanted to go home and think further about this matter, but Weng Lou's words stopped him.
Weng Lou's hand throws the blueprint in his hand and is immediately captured by Choi, then immediately in his disfigurement.
As soon as he opened the blueprint, confusion immediately surfaced on his face, but it was mixed with curiosity and high interest. He looked attentively at every detail of the picture in the blueprint and after a while he closed it again.
"What's the name of this thing? How does it work? Why use water?" ask Choi who is very curious.
He was an inventor who would naturally feel interested in something he considered new. He thirsts for knowledge and everything related to new discoveries.
That said, this blueprint he had in hand had exceeded anything he had ever made before, even this was likely the greatest thing he had ever known!
"Hehehe....how? Are you interested in my request?" Weng Lou's question immediately made Choi regain consciousness.
He pensively looked back at the blueprint in his hand.
"If according to what is written in this blueprint, then the speed of a ship will be very fast to become something new. But I need to prove if this thing does have such a function" he said seriously and saw the reaction from Weng Lou.
Both of Weng Lou's shoulders were lifted and he stepped past Choi in front of him with a light laugh, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's just prove it."
Weng Lou waved his hand and walked towards Rengu City. Choi was stunned for a moment, before then immediately following Weng Lou who quickly left nearly ten meters away.
"Hey wait for me! Do you know where my workshop is? Oi! I said wait!"
Choi also finally ran for the sake of being able to chase after Weng Lou who with just a light step had left far behind.
***
Under Rengu City, there was a small workshop filled with all sorts of strange tools strewn on the floor.
This workshop is a workshop owned by Choi that is able to set the height of his location at will using a special pulley that became one of his best works.
This workshop is located right under his residence, precisely under his father's workshop. Few people know about this workshop, because Choi does not want to feel disturbed while working on the tools of his creation.
"Hm..with a location like this, this workshop should not last long. Why did you make him hang? Wouldn't it be nice if you put it on top of your dad's workshop? Or make it permanently under your father's workshop to make it sturdier?" asked Weng Lou who was feeling a little interested.
"That's because I sometimes like to swim in the sea, so I made it reach the surface of the sea. My father has also suggested the same thing as you said, but I rejected it. For me, what I do is what I like, I don't want to waste time with something that I can't even be interested in" she explained without looking back at the rope in her hand.
The two of them were currently moving down using a simple elevator using a connected pulley in Choi's father's workshop.
*tap....* The board that the two of them were riding on finally arrived at Choi's workshop and was immediately greeted with quite a sight.
A small windmill is seen constantly spinning blown by the wind. A rope was tied to the wooden wheel and connected to a small wheel underneath which was also connected to another wheel until it surrounded Choi's wooden workshop.
Weng Lou's eyes were then fixed on an iron claw shaped like a human hand on the floor. He picked it up and noticed it, then tried to pick up one random item nearby using the claw.
*No.* The hand-shaped capit was surprisingly able to lift the object perfectly like a real hand. His fingers adjust to the shape of the stamped object so that it does not loose in the slightest.
"Hmmmm..exciting...really interesting!"
Weng Lou put the claw back down and then immediately entered Choi's workshop. Inside, more strange objects could be seen and some were completely unrecognizable by Weng Lou. But Weng Lou held back his curiosity and then sat down on one of the chairs quietly.
"Well, what if we start to make it? We can tell if what's written on the blueprint is true or not after it's so."
Choi nodded and placed the blueprint on an almost upright table. He opened the blueprint wide, then attached nails to the four ends so as not to close back.
Weng Lou did not reply, he tapped on the table beside him with his finger then asked Choi, "Do you have a furnace for forging?"
"Hm? A furnace? You kidding? Which carpenter doesn't have a furnace in his workshop?" Choi immediately took Weng Lou deeper than the workshop and showed the work room of a genius like him.
Choi's arrogant face looks at the room, while Weng Lou is at a loss for words.
'Which woodworker has a furnace this small? Even for making weapons, this furnace was too small. At most this furnace was only useful for boiling water, Weng Lou thought but did not say anything.
He walked over and took out a medium-sized hammer, and once again he was speechless as he lifted the hammer, 'This is not even lighter than the hammer the forgers use.'
Not out of thought how Choi could become a carpenter with such a weak physique. The only reason why he could still continue to be a carpenter until now was only his unyielding spirit and curiosity.
"It's just that all the stuff that's in here is like a little kid's toy, you can't do big tools, can you?" ask Weng Lou.
"Ti-No! I just don't like doing it here, that's all!" many of Choi clearly seem to be lying.
"Haah. I need a hammer with a bigger weight. This hammer will not even be able to purify a metal, it is more worthy of being called a child's toy" he said, throwing a hammer in his hand at a pile of strange items created by Choi.
Choi was silent for a moment, he thought hard and seemed to be considering something very important to him. His feet did not stop being knocked on until he looked at Weng Lou.
"This workshop could not withstand the trivial strenuous activity of forging large objects. If you need a heavier hammer, we can just do the forging on top," he said, bringing Weng Lou back out of the workshop with Weng Lou's blueprints.
It was then that Choi's footsteps immediately came to a halt and a shocked expression appeared on his face when he saw the figure of his father who had now been standing right in front of the entrance of his workshop.
"I thought you were doing what, but you're still doing your useless things?" Choi's father looked at his son unhappily.
His attention was then distracted by the figure of Weng Lou behind him and he snorted angrily, "You even brought a child to show off your stupid stuff? Do you also want to make him a delusionist like you?!"
"Dad! It's not like that, he's-!!!!"
"Enough! Back home, that's enough today I scold you."
Weng Lou who noticed the incident could immediately know what was going on right now. From his perspective, this attitude of his father was already very natural. Seeing from how many strange items there were in Choi's workshop, he must have spent a lot of time.
Even Weng Lou's father would not be happy to see his son who only focused on doing something that he thought was just a waste of time.
Weng Lou who felt a little sorry for Choi mediated himself with his father and then spoke, "I think there is a misunderstanding here, I came here because I asked Woodworker Choi to make me something, so this isn't his fault."
Choi's father's eyebrows shot up, he seemed to have just misheard and asked Weng Lou to explain his point. Weng Lou did not speak but immediately took the blueprint in Choi's hand and threw it at Choi's father.
Without asking anything, the blueprint was immediately opened by Choi's father, and before long her expression looked the same as Choi when she first saw the contents of this blueprint.
"I-This....does such a thing really exist?" he said in disbelief.
"Then let's make it and see if it's all true, dad! We need to borrow dad's workshop to make it!" Choi felt excited to see his father who seemed to have become as interested as he was.
Choi's father's eyes looked at his son then turned to Weng Lou, "I don't mind. I'll also help make it if I'm allowed to."
"of course! The more, the better! Let's make it!"
***
Afternoon in Rengu City.
The orange sky in the sky began to fade and the shadow of the moon began to appear along with the sinking of the Sun.
Weng Lou smiled in satisfaction at the thing before him that looked exactly the same as the one in his blueprint. After working long hours they finally managed to finish to make it.
They had conducted a trial and the results really surprised Choi and his father, even Weng Lou was also very surprised.
"While I was only briefly shown this item by Ye Lao, I didn't expect the blueprints I made to really match the ones I saw back then. Although this is a simple version but, its performance should still be more than half that of the original."
Choi and his father were stunned to stare at the object in front of them and seemed to have seen something that would really shake the entire development of technology.
"This thing can really do what's written on that blueprint.it's definitely historic moments!" Choi exclaimed happily while Choi's father simply kept silent and smiled in satisfaction
He then looked at Weng Lou who was in front of him that, "So, what is the name of this thing?"
"Hm? Ah, true. You guys don't know yet. This thing is a steam engine, and with this engine we're gonna build a ship capable of sailing through the Dead Sea."
