Chapter 213 New Ship Design

Cheng Wenying took a look, ouch, the child's brain is the spirit! It's useless for me to ask for this, but I can give it to my son! The folding fan that collects the inscriptions of the bigwigs from the central to the local government, has nothing to take out to play, and the faint force flutters in the wind!

Well, go home and find the master to sum it up, and see how much silver can be exchanged for the fan of the court......

For a long time, the first thing the literati said when they met was: "Today, did you write it?" ”

Then someone responded: "Although I haven't written a word yet, I have a kind of calm ...... like a fan."

……

But the pear blossoms in the dragon bloomed and thanked, and Su You was eight years old.

Today he was at the pier to bid farewell to Chen Yu and Chaogu.

Chaogu was going to join the Western Army, and Chen Yu was sued by his uncle again: this baby ran away from home and ran to Dali, and was almost caught by Nong Zhigao urn!

However, this time, Chen Xiliang applauded, thinking that his fourth child was still a talent after all, and he had to be tied up by his side to train him.

Don't underestimate Chen Xiliang's training, don't want what Su You envy - in history, as long as the characters who are involved with Chen Xiliang, except for Su Xun, almost all of them have to be in the Jinshi!

Su You maliciously thought that this was Chen Xiliang taking revenge on his brother and revenge for not allowing him to study back then.

Didn't you let me study? Lao Tzu will get the whole family to study, and all of them will be admitted to the Jinshi, so that you will become a vulnerable group at home!

Just ask if you're afraid!

However, Chen Wei doesn't think so, according to him, most of them will be forced to marry this time.

When his father was caught as a son-in-law by the Hedong Liu family, Lao Chen sold the children in order to protect himself - it is impossible for a son-in-law to be a son-in-law, I have already married, and the children are the oldest.

However, our children are okay to study, and I also took the Jinshi exam, so I don't feel any difficulty, and it is estimated that in a few years, our whole family may become Jinshi - thanks to the Liu family, or we will marry our children!

The chosen one is so willful.

Su You handed Chen Yu three folding fans: "You missed the three key figures in my Meishan, and I made it up for you, my cousin and Su's small article, you can have fun!" ”

Chen Wei disagreed: "It's okay for your cousin, Brother Su and Xiaosu...... Hehehe, I'm not as famous as Chen Jichang......"

Oops, so arrogant?!

Forget it, I don't care about you, Su You tried to stand on tiptoe and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder: "Brother Ji Chang, when you meet Zizhan in the future, remember to befriend him, I believe that he will be famous in the future, maybe when the time comes, he can make a name for you." ”

Hehehe, I suddenly heard the roar of the lion in Hedong, and the cane fell into the palm of my hand at a loss. Your reputation is destined to be passed down through the ages with the poem Dasu.

Chaogu's gift was a four-and-a-half-foot hardcover long sword, but Su You didn't give it to him, but asked him to give it to Shangguan.

Chaogu's literary talents are not enough among the literati, but among the martial artists, especially among the low-level martial artists, they are still the best, and Su You himself is not familiar with martial arts, so he had to let Shi Fu find some connections, write a few letters and give them to him to bring, which can be regarded as doing his best.

Sending the two away, Su You thought about the current military of the Great Song Dynasty, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this kind of decline is to be reversed, it is not an overnight effort.

Shi Wei sent a letter, admitted her mistake aggressively, and turned the topic to the white ape.

The white ape and Taoism have a deep origin, there are records in the Book of Mountains and Seas, and later there are many legends such as the white ape preaching in the Chu State, the sword in the Yue Kingdom, and Taoism itself has a "Taishang Cave Xuan White Ape Sutra", which is said to be the book of heaven handed down by the White Ape Gong.

Shi Wei felt that Muke was getting fatter and fatter, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he should control his diet.

The peep mirror caused a sensation, and now the Jade Bureau Stargazing Platform is crowded with a group of Taoist priests at night, citing scriptures and studying the stars, making a mess, and practicing with dark circles under their eyes one by one the next day.

Whitebeard's father-in-law was furious, added a large iron gate to the stargazing platform, and then began the exam, and only the Taoist uncles who passed the exam were eligible for stargazing.

Su You excerpted a few stories about the white ape, and told some interesting things that happened recently. Then let Shi Wei help inquire, if there is a stargazing platform, then there should be a star map, there are records of solar and lunar eclipses in the past dynasties, if there is, he will go to the jade bureau to watch it when he has the opportunity.

……

Ziyan returned to the city full of flowers, and Su You felt that the days were beautiful.

The number of salt wells has increased to ten, and the emergence of new wells has made Jiang Qing discover a big problem - traffic bottlenecks.

It was not enough to rely on the four ships of the Erlin Department, and everyone remembered that Su You had reminded them about shipbuilding, but they all set their sights on building roads and accumulating fame at that time.

Now that the road has not been repaired to Yizhou, the problem has been highlighted.

Fortunately, the initial accumulation of new sailing technology, the kind of round-bottom streamlined warship technology of the Erlin Department, the shipyard along the river is also very mature, and the funds are still abundant, so the board of directors of the firm decided to build a large salt warehouse to stock up on the same time, while recruiting shipbuilders to build new ships.

It is not possible to buy a boat, today's river boats are mostly made of pine, cutting corners, and the habit of Sichuan people is to run from Yizhou to Yangzhou with a boat, and then sell it with the ship.

Suyou's keel boat gave the boatmen a great hint, the mortise and tenon structure is a trick that the Chinese ancestors played old, and now there are iron bolts, then use the split keel.

The new ship abandons the one-time use method, and uses high-quality wood - the keel and ribs are made of the finest Chung Nan, a specialty of Sichuan, and the rest of the body is made of oak and elm, and the lining bilge and deck are made of miscellaneous wood to reduce costs, and the rudder and mast are made of elm and nut, and the rudder and mast are made of fir wood.

The mast can also be spliced with iron hoops, but there is no such shipbuilding in Sichuan at present-there is no shortage of wood.

Iron hoops still need to be used, but only to strengthen the mast.

The rigging also uses a variety of materials for cost considerations, the anchor rope is steamed into bamboo silk from green bamboo skin, and then made by rope making machine, and the sail rope is made of hemp rope made of hemp. The sails abandoned the bulky straw mats and bamboo mats, and replaced them with the sturdy copper coin linen cloth of the Su family.

The area of the sail far exceeds the size of today's ordinary river sail, the length of the ship is ten zhang, the widest point is four zhang, the height of the main mast is eight zhang, and the two secondary masts are six zhang.

The whole ship is a product of transition between the old and the new, which can be seen by the weights and measures used.

On the whole, the underwater part of the new ship is almost the same as that of the Erlinbu battleship, with a streamlined round bottom.

The water part is closer to Suyou's flying scissor small sailboat, the mast is also old, but the sail has become new, and the sail control system has introduced the design of the Kelongli, just because the number of masts has increased, and it needs to be controlled by more people.

Perhaps the most outrageous design is the one that sticks out of the bow of the ship, which is used to tow the three spinnakers together with the foremast and use as much wind power as possible.

This design has not appeared in any Chinese sailing ship before, but there is a ready-made example of the Longli, and the shipbuilders think that this designer must be an old fox who can calculate - too good at picking!

The anchor is 500 catties, and it is cast in Shijia Iron Mill.

Su You did not participate in the design of this sailing ship, and the old shipwrights understood the design idea almost as soon as they looked at the drawings and real objects of the Kelongli.

The difficulty of drawing is to draw it, so that the person who looks at it can see it at a glance, which is the basic requirement.

However, Su You is not without contribution, he put forward several concepts such as project budget, construction period evaluation, material procurement, human resource allocation and so on at the board of directors, and asked to take this project as an example to explore the regulations and regulations.

The proposal was highly approved by the board of directors, and the little monkey always likes to eat all over the world with one trick - to put it bluntly, it is still a trio of fine and pure old-fashioned tunes.

In addition to this, Suyou also earned a little pocket money.

The bamboo catkins dug out of the arrow poles in the dragon are mixed with the rubber ash prepared by tung oil and lime mussel shell ash, which is a good thing to fill the gaps in the shipboard.

This is unique to China, and it is also the reason why Chinese ships can travel everywhere made of ordinary wood. Unlike in the West, you have to use high-quality hardwoods such as oak, beech, teak, etc.

The new ship is expected to take six months and carry a terrifying 3,500 stones!

In the Song Dynasty, a stone was 100 kilograms smaller, which was more than 300 tons, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wuzhong did not know, but it was definitely the largest ship in Shu today.

The output of ten salt wells, if it all depends on this kind of ship, it will take nearly fifty ships, but fortunately, the snow salt is now consumed by the four roads themselves, and the Wu ship and the Erlin Department transport one-third, and the remaining one-sixth, about ten ships, two such big ships are enough to deal with it.

For the sake of insurance, the board of directors decided to build three ships at a cost of 3,000 yuan.
