Volume 1 Chapter 333 Childe is no longer needed

On the other side, there is also an anatomical diagram of this kind of ship model, and the eyes of the two old shipwrights are full of light, just like a dog seeing a bone, and the eyes are glowing green.

"Brother Xian, these are all boats?" Liu Hongji touched his chin for a long time, and said a little uncertainly: "There are too many sails on it, right?" And it's all weird. ”

"The more sails have more surface area, the more the area is enough, and the boat can be fast, such as this kind of boat, I am afraid that it is the fastest among these three kinds of boats." One of the old shipwrights replied without looking back, staring at the clipper.

"Yes, this kind of ship has a long pointed bow, which is conducive to splitting waves, and is not easily affected by the waves, and has many sails, it is definitely fast enough, this kind of ship is much faster than other ships in my Great Sui today." Another old shipwright couldn't help but sigh after looking at it for a long time. "By the way, Childe, what is this?"

"Oh, it's a watertight compartment, after all, the ship is sailing in the water, in case it sails in an unfamiliar channel, no one knows when an accident will happen to the road, with this thing, then even if the ship is damaged, it can support returning to the port to repair it." I pointed to the little grids.

I don't remember when this thing appeared, but this thing is indeed a Chinese invention, with watertight compartments, so that the cabins are tightly separated from each other, so in navigation, especially in ocean voyages, even if one or two cabins are damaged and enter the water, the water will not flow to the other cabins. From the overall point of view of the ship, it still maintains considerable buoyancy and does not sink.

If there is too much water, the ship will not be able to support it, as long as the cargo is abandoned and the load is reduced, it will not sink to the bottom of the sea quickly. If the damage to the ship is not serious and there is not much water ingress, as long as the goods in the water inlet area are removed, the damaged places can be repaired without affecting the ship's continued navigation. If the water ingress is severe, it can also be repaired by sailing to the nearest port or land. Therefore, the watertight compartment not only improves the anti-sinking performance of the ship, but also increases the safety performance of long-distance navigation.

Secondly, the ship is divided into cabins, and the loading and unloading and management of goods are more convenient. Different cargo owners can load and pick up goods in individual cabins at the same time, which improves the efficiency of loading and unloading, and is convenient for management.

In addition, because the hatch plate is closely connected with the hull plate, it plays the role of reinforcing the hull, which not only increases the transverse strength of the ship as a whole, but also replaces the process of adding ribs, so that the shipbuilding process is simplified.

"Yes, if we really use this way to repair ships, the ship's ability to resist sinking will definitely be greatly improved. Childe is really talented, and he can actually come up with such a method. The old shipwright looked at the three ship models with admiration on his face, and his eyes were very excited.

"Can these ships be built?" I asked, seeing the two old shipwrights who were trembling with their mouths.

"It should be possible, but these four kinds of ships have never been built, and I am afraid that we will have to build a small boat to test before we can be sure."

I was relieved to hear that. "If you can make a line, first make a small one to try, if there is anything wrong, come to find this son, and then make it after re-modification." In the future, the Fu ship, the Galen ship, the sand boat, and the clipper ship will become the pioneer of the opening of the Age of Exploration in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Gallian? This name is not good, and it is more Chinese to call it Changsun Boat.

When I think about it, one or two decades later, Datang's ocean-going ships, Changsun ships, sand boats, and clippers will sail in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and even the Arctic Ocean...... This seems to be a bit nonsense, in short, the first to discover the Americas in history is definitely not the Western barbarians, but the Chinese nation.

"If it is built for testing, the old man thinks that this kind of ship is the simplest, if the materials are enough, at most a month, it will definitely be able to build one, but the length cannot exceed three zhang, and if it is large, the time will be extended." The older old boatman pointed to the sand boat road.

"That's okay, how many manpower and materials are needed, just say it, my son will prepare them for you in the shortest possible time. When the time comes, I will have to ask the two old people. In addition, he asked one of the two old shipwrights to write a letter to his family, handed it to Liu Hongji's men, and brought it back to Luoyang to find their family.

The two old shipwrights confirmed to me that their salary was 20 times per month, and there was also a full attendance bonus of 10 times, and if they worked overtime for eight hours, there would be overtime pay, and each overtime work would be calculated according to the usual calculation.

The old shipwright also wrote letters to a few old shipwrights he knew well, and asked them to drag their families over, the master here has a lot of money, but people are not stupid, and they can also give them the opportunity to display their talents, why not?

Of course, they also promised that when the other two kinds of ships were sufficient, they would start trial production of small prototype boats, and the satisfied Ben Gongzi finally reluctantly said goodbye. Liu Hongji excused himself to taste the life of Hancheng County and disappeared, well, according to his subordinates, this hooligan went to the hooligan place to love Yu.

Regarding his behavior, in addition to sighing, Ben Gongzi really didn't know how to describe it, and waved his hand. "Zhilu Dao, go to see my brother's platform, it's okay to go to the Qinglou Pavilion, don't let this guy be out of tune, and make people angry."

The tribal leader hurried away, and Ben Gongzi continued to admire the masterpiece he had just gotten his hands on: the design of the car and ship. Well, this thing is a treasure that Ben Gongzi got from the hands of those two old shipwrights, and it is said that it was first designed by Zu Chongzhi, that is, the kind of boat with wheels and using human power to trample, because there are blade wheel drives on both sides, so it is called a car and boat.

"I really didn't expect that those two old guys would have such a good thing in their hands." It's a rough drawing, and it's drawn in a more abstract way, but at least it can make Ben Gongzi think of the boat and the wheeled oars on both sides.

"Childe." Sister Qingxia, who helped me bring me tea, was a little curious. "You're constantly praising this picture here, why don't you let them try to make that kind of car and boat?"

"Don't worry, that thing is fast enough, but now, it's not necessary." I shook my head, well, safety first, vehicles and ships, I'll keep them first, this thing is most suitable for use as a warship, of course, small vehicles and ships, used for reconnaissance and communications, that is the best choice.

"I really don't understand, Childe, how did you design those ship models?" Sister Qingxia let out a long sigh and looked at me, as if she wanted to see the flowers on my face.

"Hehe, naturally it's more to see and do more, by the way, Qingxia, how are you doing here during this time?" I replied with a smile, my eyes fell on Sister Qingxia's body, yes, for this period of time, the clouds on Sister Qingxia's face have hardly appeared again, and her face is much better than after the injury, pink and tender, well, it seems that even the full and attractive double pill on the chest has been a size?

Not...... I'm really just a visual inspection, although I really want to play hooligan, it depends on the time, the mood, and the other party's emotions. The three are indispensable, after all, I am also a gangster at the level of a decent man and a gentleman, and I am definitely very gentlemanly, at least, I don't want to take advantage of others.

"What did Childe say, is there anything wrong with Qingxia?" Sister Qingxia lowered her head, looked at herself, blinked her Qiushui eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and looked at me with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, I'm worried that you won't be used to living here in Hancheng." Looking at the beautiful woman close at hand, the mood is very pleasant, both pleasing to the eye, and can help me a lot, such Xiaomi, cough cough, Xiao Mi, is really the best, at least I feel that because of her next to me, even the work has become enjoyable.

Serve me tea and water every day, polish the ink draft, and record some important affairs for me, in addition, I also wait for my son to eat and dress, of course, just the coat, well, between me and her, so far there has been no relationship beyond friendship, although occasionally you can eat some fragrant soft and glutinous tofu, but, it is definitely not intentional.

I can swear by my conscience that although I think Sister Qingxia is very good, I am not the kind of person who uses the maids in the house as playthings.

"It's nothing, these days, busy and busy, although a little tired, but the heart is very fulfilling, doing things, and also very goal-oriented, unlike the past, ...... in the day" It can be seen that Sister Qingxia likes her current life very much, full of fighting spirit and direction. However, in the past, in addition to playing the piano and practicing martial arts, it was to practice dance, and whenever there were guests from the Duke of Chu, they had to stand guard, and sometimes they had to bring tea and water to people.

And with me, she doesn't need to worry that one day, Yang Xuangan will give her away, and she doesn't need to worry about intrigue, let alone any more fear of rebellion or non-rebellion, and the daily busyness makes her feel more fulfilled.

“…… Speaking of which, the son treats Qingxia so well regardless of remuneration, Qingxia is really unrequited. When Sister Qingxia said this, she couldn't help but swallow a little, tragedy, why don't you add the four words of personal promise for the gods?

The resentful Ben Gongzi Yu smiled and waved his hand. "Okay, okay, you have done so many things for me, I haven't thanked you yet, besides, you work with me, you don't even have a salary, you don't scold me, it's good."

"If Childe talks about that thing like this, Qingxia is treating Qingxia as an outsider." Sister Qingxia sighed faintly. A pair of watery eyes fell on me, and the gaze was resentful like a stunning female ghost who had wandered on the shore of a deep lake for thousands of years.

"Could it be that Childe doesn't need Qingxia anymore?" In the resentful eyes, they began to flicker like a stream. I'm dizzy, that look, like a stray dog abandoned by its owner, as pitiful as I want to be, I'm dizzy
