Chapter 1493: The Empire is on the move
With the help of Zhao Zun and the others' big ships, Zhou Yu finally didn't have to focus on stabilizing the balance of the fleet, and also had the opportunity to observe the sea ships of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although Zhou Yu also knows about such things as the pointed bottom boat, the structure of this thing is difficult for Zhou Yu's boatmen to grasp, on the one hand, the proportion above, and on the other hand, the problem of the center of gravity.
This is also an important reason why Zhou Yu's sea ship has not been built yet, according to Zhou Yu's original idea is to fight with Gan Ning, regardless of winning or losing, grab a ship, and then disassemble and remake it.
It's a pity that Gan Ning didn't appear at all in the previous battle of Huaishui, and this plan could not be implemented, but this time he saw the real thing so closely, Zhou Yu also hurriedly asked the boatmen brought to observe it carefully, in order to achieve the purpose of imitation.
On the other side, Donglai Taishou Huayan had already received a message from Lu Su, although there were many unreasonable in it, and it was even clearly a request for collaborating with the enemy, but looking at the few seals stamped on it, Huayan didn't say much at all, and immediately opened a position to take out the military reserves and prepare to deal with Zhou Yu at a low price after Zhou Yu came.
Similarly, the Lu family also received a deal from Liu Bei and Sun Ce, in this life, the Lu family and Sun Ce and others have little enmity, when Lujiang was in the first battle, Sun Ce did succeed in taking Lujiang, but Lu Kang did not have the idea of co-living and dying with Lujiang, and took the whole family away.
Because of this, the Lu family had the opportunity to move to Donglai, and became the only two seagoing ship manufacturers in the Central Plains, which can be regarded as the lost harvest of Sangyu, so there is not much resentment against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, after all, no one has died in the family lineage.
"How many more of our third- and fourth-generation seagoing vessels are there?" Lu Jun asked his housekeeper, Lu Jun, who was originally going to die and live because of qi deficiency, has now completely recovered his health with Hua Tuo's conditioning, and Lu Kang, the old master of the previous generation, directly stepped down to Lu Jun.
"There are still forty-four third-generation seagoing vessels, and fourteen fourth-generation seagoing vessels." The steward replied quickly, "Twenty-seven of the third-generation sea ships have already dismantled their crossbow machines and are ready to transfer to the Chamber of Commerce, and there are still seventeen of them that have not been cut off, but the reinforced deck has been removed. ”
"The seventeen ships were re-equipped with reinforced decks, all the independent sealed cabins were tested for water testing, and the ships were solidified as a whole to ensure that they reached the sturdiness of the fifth-generation seagoing vessels, and the speed and carrying capacity could be appropriately reduced." Lu Jun thought about it for a while, and gave the housekeeper an order to renovate.
The third-generation sea ships are about to be eliminated to civilian products on Lu Jun's side, their sixth-generation sea ships have appeared, and the seventh generation has already been on the test ship, just wait for Gan Ning to come back for a test drive, and then quickly improve it.
The seven-generation sea ship is twenty-five zhang long, ten zhang wide, three-and-a-half layer structure, six masts, nine sails, and carries 3,000 people, but this ship is no longer suitable for running in the river, only suitable for running in the sea, and the whole temperature is strengthened structure, but the biggest difference with other ships is that this ship is steeled!
When Lu Jun was washing and combing with a gold basin one day, he accidentally found that a basin made of gold actually floated on the water, and immediately his brain was opened, and he ordered people to make a bunch of basins, gold, silver, copper, and steel, and finally Lu Jun determined that metal could be used to build ships.
Immediately, Lu Jun wanted to build an invincible ship with steel, and later calculated the cost, Lu Jun said that he couldn't build it even if he sold the Lu family, but after having this idea, Lu Jun had a lot of ideas, such as adding steel to strengthen special places, and the steel is not enough for stones!
In short, the seventh-generation sea ship is a product made by Lu Jun by changing materials and strengthening the structure, this ship can no longer be said to be a pure wooden ship, first of all, the deck of this ship has been replaced by granite by Lu Jun, and the appearance has also been pasted with a layer.
This is also an important reason why the broken ship can carry 3,000 people, and this super sea ship can carry 3,000 people.
However, because it is a brain hole product, the seventh-generation seagoing ship Lu Jun is actually very bottomless, although from various data, these seventh-generation seagoing ships are very good, but if you don't go out to try, Lu Jun really has no bottom, as for the sinking if you drive out......
How many times has the previous test ship Ganning sunk, once it sank in the sea, was chased by sharks, and swam back all the way, shipbuilding or something, there is always a need for a master to test it, only when it sinks can you know where it can be improved.
Therefore, Lu Jun and other Gan Ning have been in a hurry recently, but Gan Ning is now blocking the remaining fleets of Guishan in Malacca, of course, Gan Ning does not know at all, Vesudeva I has been somewhat shaken because he has not been able to find the relics for a long time.
Therefore, Vesudeva I was already a little frenzied, and in the second month he did not find a spiritual relic, he started the state apparatus and frantically built the shipbuilding dumplings.
Unlike the Central Plains, Kushan and Rome are unable to bypass the sea because of the traffic, so they have a large number of sea ships, and they also have a large number of shipbuilding materials.
This is the same as the hoarding of weapons by the princes of the Central Plains, and a large number of violent troops can be used if necessary, and the geographical pattern of the two sides is destined to be completely different from the materials hoarded by the two sides.
Of course, Vesudeva I's frenzied dumplings were only one thing, on the other hand, he had already sent nearly half of his 200,000 infantry and cavalry to attack eastward by land, and the lands on the Indian subcontinent were taken by Vesudeva I at a visible speed.
Along the way, countless Fanbangs, small countries, and tribes were crushed by the army of Vesudeva I, and all the way east, the scope of Kushan's rule continued to expand, as if the loss of spiritual relics not only did not consume Kushan's luck, but also made Guishan's awakening burn.
For this situation, Vesudeva I, who was already a little mixed and waiting for death, cheered up, and the spiritual relics had been lost, so there was no way, but with the expansion of the Kushan territory and the expansion of strength, Vesudeva I thought of another way.
People are forced out, and it is very difficult for Vesudeva I to sit on the throne and suppress the guys who are separatizing from all directions, so that Guishan can barely be called a whole.
However, after the spiritual relics were lost, they were reprimanded by the bastards of the Brahmins, forced into the palace by other Kshatriyas, and the furious Vesudeva I angrily threw an army of 100,000 and crushed them all the way, and even washed several small countries with separatist intentions indiscriminately.
As a result, the Kushan Empire, which was originally in turmoil and looked like it was about to fall apart at any time, went to sea again with crazy dumplings, more than 100,000 warships went to sea again, 100,000 troops crushed the same territory and expanded the territory, and another 100,000 troops washed several states in blood.
