Humans are the most curious animals.

Pandora's box, still don't open it easily.

Humans, and the most intelligent animals, began to conquer nature step by step while taking from nature.

In the huge dock on the edge of the Yangtze River, when Zhu Wu saw a sea ship 60 zhang long and 20 zhang wide, standing quietly. Even he was a well-informed modern man dumbfounded.

It's too big, it's not ordinary. It is 60 zhang long and 20 zhang wide, which is more than 120 meters long and more than 40 meters wide when converted into modern numbers.

Zhu Wu, who was in the customs in his previous life, still has a certain amount of knowledge, and if such a ship is calculated according to its displacement, it should have 10,000 tons. Even in modern times, it is a Big Mac.

And the mast that almost pierced the sky, the long metal ramming angles, and the shiny iron plates wrapped in the hull.

People, in front of such a behemoth, are so small.

The outer part of the dock was full of guarded Han princes, and inside were Xi Yingzhen and the craftsmen who built the ship.

Seeing that Zhu Wu's face showed a bit of obsession, the craftsmen's originally worried faces were a little relaxed.

Most of these craftsmen were forcibly recruited from Anqing, Suzhou and other places, as well as those invited by Fujian with heavy money, and sent by the Pu family in Quanzhou.

It can be said that they are the most outstanding craftsmen of our time. But they are also unlucky, they entered Zhu Wu's craftsman's workshop, and it was easy to get in and difficult to get out.

The memories they relied on to earn a living and passed down from generation to generation are put to great test here. designed several times, and the drawings were torn to shreds by Xi Yingzhen. Moreover, people are under militarized management, strict guarding, and cut off from the outside world.

Lao Dao seems to be kind now, but in the artisan workshop he is an out-and-out tyrant.

But everyone admired him, because the drawings he drew of sea ships were unheard of and unthinkable.

And looking at such a sea beast, the craftsmen are also proud in their hearts. Such a heavy weapon crisscrosses the sea, and it is invincible in the world.

After a long time, Zhu Wu suppressed the shock in his heart and transformed it into ecstasy and excitement.

Navy! Navy!

The century-old navy began today, and from today onwards, the warships of China will crisscross the sea, and the key to the era of great exploration is to open the ship.

Now this key has been made by the Chinese people in advance, and in a few years, such a warship will carry countless Chinese sons and daughters, build a paradise belonging to the Chinese people overseas, and spread our writing, culture, etiquette, food and thoughts.

A few years later, the strong ships and cannons will open the doors of other people's countries and reap victory after victory.

Zhu Wu calmed down, and according to the joy in his patience, he still looked a little majestic of the Han King, and asked to his side, "How many cannons can be loaded!" ”

The surrounding craftsmen didn't dare to speak casually, until Old Man Xi kicked on the calf of a craftsman.

"A hundred cannons!" The craftsman was in pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only grin his teeth.

"What are you kicking him for?" The old man Zhu Wubai glanced at it and asked the craftsman kindly, "It doesn't hurt, does it?" ”

These people are treasures, and with the first finished product, these craftsmen will do it faster and faster, and do it better and better.

"It's fine!" The craftsman bowed his head and smiled.

At this time, Zhu Wu realized that finding a craftsman seemed to be a bit of a lustful person.

"What's your name?" Zhu Wu asked.

"Villain Hou Desen, from Quanzhou!" The craftsman said respectfully.

Those who came from Quanzhou should be descendants of the Semu people. During the Great Song Dynasty, Quanzhou was the world's largest port, and it is not surprising that countless people have taken root there.

"A hundred guns?" Zhu Wu pondered, it seemed a little less, "What kind of cannon?" ”

Hou Desen opened his mouth and came, "Twenty-eight forty-two-pound cannons, twenty-eight eighteen-pound cannons, and forty-two nine-pound cannons." ”

The artillery used by the Han army is called by the weight of the projectile, and the caliber is converted into modern numbers of 17 centimeters, 13 centimeters and 10 centimeters.

Zhu Wu pondered, "Is the firepower a little insufficient?" ”

He was the most staunch artilleryist, and the bigger the barrel, the better.

The craftsmen were suddenly shocked, such a firepower Han King was not satisfied, they really had no way to live.

Old Man Xi rolled his eyes and pressed Zhu Wu's ear, "Little Wu, this warship is based on the materials I saw in the Moscow Naval Museum back then, based on the first-class gunboats of the British Navy from the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries.

This is already an invincible thing in the world, what else do you want, do you want Lao Tzu to get you an aircraft carrier and a few planes? ”

The old man's eyes were blue, and he must have been angry by Xiao Wu's ignorance and lack of skills, "Besides, the navy can't just have this ship, in addition to first-class battleships, there are also second- and third-class, and special-class." ”

"I know, I'm not in a hurry, am I?

In front of the old man, Zhu Wu was like a child. He also knew that the bigger the guns on the ship, the better, and the largest forty-two-pound cannon now, weighing two tons, could hit far but had a slow rate of fire.

The gunners of the navy are also different from those in land operations, because of the relationship between objectives and tactics, they have to form a cathartic network for ammunition, so the most projectiles are fired in a short period of time, which is the king.

The craftsmen saw the Han King and the old man whispering, and then the old man yelled a few times, and the Han King was full of laughter, incredible and funny at the same time.

The King of Han also had a time when he was deflated.

"Tell me, second- and third-class battleships!" Zhu Wu once again assumed the posture of the King of Han and asked.

?? Hudson continued, "The second-class ship has ninety guns. Twenty-eight 32-pound guns, 26 eighteen-pound guns, thirty-six nine-pound guns, and two six-pound guns.

The third-class ship has 70 guns, 28 32-pound guns, 26 18-pound guns, 14 6-pound guns, and 4 3-pound guns. ”

Zhu Wu pondered in his head while listening, the first, second and third levels should all be battleships, and the three battleships add up to at least sixty-six heavy guns.

In the case of small warships, it is a battleship formation. In addition to the battleship formations, the Navy must also have transport formations, as well as landing troops.

"When can I get into the water?" Zhu Wu turned his head to look at the huge first-class battleship and asked.

"Ready for sea trials!"

"How long will it take to build the second and third grades!" Zhu Wu continued to ask.

"At least three years!" "Your Highness, it is easy to build a ship, but the corresponding dock is difficult to repair and maintain. If you can build it, you have to be able to repair it, so that it can be used for a long time! ”

What a talent! Shipbuilding is not a separate industrial system, but a series of large industrial systems. It's not just that it will be opened, not only must it be able to build, but it must also be able to maintain.

It's like the third brother in later generations, who spent a lot of money to buy a submarine in Mao Ziguo, and after several years of tinkering, it will finally be opened, but before his mother can open it, when he maintains it himself, it was blown up.

Maozi is stupid, Lao Tzu made this stupid and simple thing, you can blow it up, third brother, you are really a talent.

The more Zhu Wu looked at him, the more he liked it, "What do you want?" Say! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, Zhu Wu was the king of Han, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a golden mouth, and what he said was a holy decree.

Say whatever you want?

Even the ministers and generals of the DPRK and China are not treated.

"The villain's relatives are still in Quanzhou, please ..... Your Highness"

Zhu Wu waved his hand, "I'll do it!" As he spoke, he shouted to all the craftsmen, "You all have merit, you all have to be rewarded!" ”

The craftsmen were ecstatic, and the old man pulled the sleeves of Zhu Wu.

"This ship is not yet named!" As he spoke, the old man said, "Please give the name of King Han!" ”

"Please give the name of the King of Han!" Everyone said in unison.

Zhu Wu looked at the huge battleship again, his heart was surging, and his blood was boiling.

"It's called Emperor Hongwu!"
