"Good!" When Li Pingshi finished speaking, Zhang Yuan took the lead in applauding, and waited for the applause to stop before he spoke again: "Now into the theme of this meeting, the manufacture of medium-sized Chinese-style sailing ships can be temporarily stopped, and the sail battleships can also be put aside for a while, and the main energy can be focused on the manufacture of flying scissor sailing ships!" So how many ships can be built after three months? ”

Walking by sea, Outer Mongolia is not too far away from the Xihe, although it may be that the national border is not opened, the wind and waves on the sea will be much greater, but if you go along the coastline with a large sailing ship and detour from the Yuan Dynasty into Outer Mongolia, there should not be any major problems.

However, the road has not been traveled, and Zhang Yuan cannot estimate how much time it will take along the way. Therefore, I left as much time as possible, and only threw three months, so as to avoid that the sailing ship would not be able to arrive in Outer Mongolia in time.

Hearing this, Andriy stood up with a frown, and said, "Boss, the Chinese-style sailboat has just been put into production, and the production is immediately suspended, and the production of the flying scissor sailboat that the craftsmen are not familiar with may cause their current craftsmanship to be rusty. Moreover, if it is forcibly launched, it may not be possible to manufacture a qualified flying scissor sailing ship in a short period of time. ”

Small sailing ships have little access to the sea in the expeditionary world, and medium-sized sailing ships that could sail far distances in reality can only trade along the coastline near the sea. It is precisely because of this that after a long time in the postgraduate examination, Andriy and his team chose the Chinese-style sailing ship that had sprouted as early as the Xihe period.

First, shipbuilding technology has been passed down in a very short time, and it has also reduced the time for re-training shipbuilders. After all, once a skill is set, it is very difficult and long-term to turn it around, even easier than retraining a shipbuilder.

But. Now that Zhang Yuan is doing this, almost half of their previous work has been wasted, which is naturally unbearable.

Zhang Yuan is not a person who can't listen to words. Hearing this, he said: "If this is the case, then the medium-sized sailing ship continues to be produced." How about the shipbuilders trained during this period focusing on flying scissor sailboats? ”

Li Pingshi stood up again at this time and gave Zhang Yuan a difficult question, and said: "Chairman, if you go all out to manufacture flying scissor sailboats, with the assembly line production that has begun to take shape, you can increase about nineteen ships in three months, but I have to say that among these nineteen ships. At least 10 of them will have a useful life of less than a year. ”

"Why?" Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, in a year's time, the expedition to Outer Mongolia will not have any impact, but the cost of a ship is not low, and the price of buying genuine products to buy 'cottage' defective products, even if you can get more from Outer Mongolia, it is enough to be painful.

Li Pingshi said: "Talent restricts speed, but materials restrict the quality of ships!" The expedition to the sea is larger than expected, which also leads to its difference from the real sea, and some of the subtle differences are fatal. Even now. We also cannot guarantee that the ships we build will achieve the intended results. In addition to the storm at sea, the reason is also the corrosion rate of bacteria and seawater! ”

"What we do with wood today. It's just that the special materials possessed by the expedition at this stage, as well as the improvement of the craftsmanship obtained from the aboriginal craftsmen, combined with the technology existing in the real world itself, are preliminarily processed, and the process formed is still very simple and superficial! It can only be said that it has initially adapted to the sea environment of the expedition world, but it still has a long way to go if you want to surpass the real technology and truly conquer the expeditionary sea, so as to carry out ocean exploration and trade. ”

Saying that, Li Pingshi said helplessly: "Let the number of flying scissor sailboats reach nineteen within three months." Shipbuilders have been used to the limit, so that the clinker used to make the ships cannot keep up. Therefore, it is only possible to use preliminarily treated semi-finished timber in areas that are not particularly critical, and. The premise of all this is that Xuan Tie can keep up with the use in order to make up for the shortcomings of the flying scissor sailboat! ”

The wood used to make large ships is not the general in reality, but the wood unique to the expedition world is chosen, and the process of processing wood naturally cannot completely copy the reality, in combination with the shipbuilding technology developed in the expedition world, and the reality itself into a systematic process, only to tap some of the potential of the wood itself, but it is still very far from the ideal and even the peak.

"That's all there is to it!"

Zhang Yuan could hear the persuasion in Li Pingshi's words, but the trip to Outer Mongolia was imperative, and the seized property naturally needed to be transported, so it couldn't be sent back by land thousands of miles away, right? If you really do that, you can transport back one-tenth of it in the end, and Zhang Yuan will be blessed by the Bodhisattva.

Li Pingshi sat down, Zhang Yuan thought in silence, and finally could only retreat, and asked Andri: "Can a medium-sized sailing ship pass through Dingzhou and enter the Yuan Dynasty?" ”

Dingzhou, originally a place adjacent to the sea, sandwiched between the Han Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, close to the ocean, covering a vast area, the reason why it has not been discovered, in addition to hiding on the land, but also because of the frequent storms at sea, there are many reefs, so that the people in distress have to enter and exit, and the grass barbarians generally believe in the god of storms, which is not without reason.

"Galchis is an expert on tides and oceans, and I asked him to introduce the boss!" ”

"According to my exploration of the waters around Dingzhou in the past few months, there should be an active submarine volcano near the coast of Dingzhou, and there should be an undercurrent around it, and magma ash is washed into the coastline, thus forming a reef, and at the same time forming a storm area, if medium-sized ships want to pass, it is not impossible, but it is very dangerous!"

When he heard about the submarine volcano, Zhang Yuan was shocked, this is really a volcano sitting under the buttocks, and it is an active volcano, no one knows how long it will be angry, if you dare to walk over it, you can be wiped out if you are not careful, and there is nowhere to cry.

And when he heard that there was a way to solve it, Zhang Yuan was overjoyed, the problem of the Dingzhou volcano is a problem in the future, because Xihe has not yet had ocean-going trade, so the volcano can not be considered for the time being. The top priority is to enter the Yuan Dynasty through Dingzhou.

Zhang Yuan asked, "How to solve it?" ”

Galchis cocked his index finger and listed one, two, three: "The easiest and most brutal way is to build more lighthouses along the coastline, send ships to find out the reefs along the road, and build more safe havens!" ”

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, and the manpower and material resources are as you choose!" ”

"Boss, I need sailors, the most elite sailors, but not in Xihe?" Garkis shrugged helplessly and said, "The offshore of Dingzhou is a wonderful place, and there are rare places along the way, who knows what will happen?" So, it takes a brave and adventurous heart, and of course, a lot of professional knowledge, with the old thinking of the aborigines, no! (To be continued) (.com Wangshuge debut)
