In the spring, from the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery along the coast, the Internet celebrity scenic spot that kills future generations in minutes, no wonder the ancient poets were good at making poems Wing Chun, and Sun Xiangfu was a little disgusted that the water steamer going down the river went too fast.

In the process of enjoying the beautiful scenery from time to time and reciting poems, the boat soon arrived at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, I have to say that Li Tai's achievements in literature are indeed much stronger than him in politics, Sun Xiangfu If it were not for the fact that there are many good poems that can be sung through the ages that can be plagiarized, he would lose in front of him, and the reason why Li Shimin in history did not choose him to succeed him may be because he is more suitable to be a nerd!

If you want to go to sea, you need to change the sea ship, and Weinan Shipyard has opened a shipbuilding branch here in the first two years, which is responsible for manufacturing sea ships, and Lingnan Shipyard shipbuilding is only for its own use, Weinan Shipyard, almost to meet the needs of all aspects of the country, military, civilian, commercial, they have to build, therefore, Yang Shunshui's children and nephews, not only in Hangzhou Bay estuary opened a branch, Laizhou, Dengzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou have.

Sun Xiangfu came, the shipyard naturally wanted to provide him with the best ship, from the first Baotou steel hydro ship production to now, more than three years have passed, shipbuilding technology has been greatly improved, new ships, there is also a replacement, after looking inside and outside the big ship, Sun Xiangfu feels that the ship of Datang, in fact, is short of a steam engine to provide more constant power, because, in other aspects, almost to the extreme, even the solar energy technology he proposed before, It was also used a lot on this ship.

The weather in the south is hot, and the sun is abundant on the sea, and on the wide deck, there are some cooking pots on several large iron pots that reflect the dazzling light, as long as the person in charge of taking care of them adjusts its angle from time to time, so that the focus of these large pots is at the bottom of the cooking pot, or it will not be long before the water in the cooking pot will be boiled.

If, its function, is only to boil water, it is too underestimate the wisdom of these researchers in the Tang Dynasty, there are some large cooking pots, will be connected to the mouth of the iron pipe, the boiling water boiling out of the high-temperature water vapor, through this iron pipe, you can go to the bottom of the steamer lattice on the side, the steamer lattice inside the steamed buns, steamed buns, fish, and other easy-to-cook food.

With this design, the space for carrying fuel on the ship can be saved by at least eighty percent, which can be used to store more materials for continuous navigation, because, as long as the sun is out, they do not need to waste fuel for cooking and boiling water, so that the ability to carry people and goods is much stronger.

In the past, the residents of those high-rise buildings living in Weinan needed to use coal stoves to boil water, but now they don't use them, and the balconies of each family's rows of such iron pots have helped them save a lot of coal consumption, not to mention, the water is also cleaner, and there is no smell of coal.

Don't worry about the lack of iron production in Datang, after the various industries engaged in local development are done, Datang's mineral output has more than tripled, and it is still increasing, just to supply the existing more than 30 million people, iron tools can basically be made at will, which is why Sun Xiangfu dared to promote the people to live in buildings, the eldest grandson Wuji built so many buildings in Jiangling City, and he has never seen a lack of steel and iron.

"Yang Min, yes! I remember that you are Lao Yang's nephew, in fact, this time I just went to Lingnan casually, you don't have to send me personally. Sun Xiangfu patted the shoulder of the strong man who introduced him to the situation on the ship.

The old Yang in his mouth, naturally, went to Xiaohe to sell boats back then, and was favored by Sun Xiangfu, and in the end, he became the Datang shipbuilding industry, and he had to shake three times when he stomped his feet, Yang Shunshui, chairman and chief engineer of Weinan Shipyard.

"Yes, yes, sailing at sea, there is no 100% safety at all, or I personally drive the boat is more assured, in addition, if you have any comments on the design and transformation of the ship, I will also count it in time, and make adjustments when the next round of design of new ships." Yang Min smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Looking at his dark skin, you can know that he is not less running at sea, and the shipyard in Hangzhou Bay is responsible for manufacturing sea vessels, and various tests are inevitable.

"How much is this new ship more resilient to risk?"

The so-called anti-risk ability is formed by two factors, one is the ship itself, and the other is the bonus given to it by the crew, if the ship is built like the aircraft carrier of later generations, then his safety at sea is as high as more than ninety percent, and it can avoid almost all risks except for natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Of course, with the technology of the current era, it is impossible, so far, there is no Sun Xiangfu that the safety factor is more than sixty percent of the ship, if you add experienced captains and seafarers to avoid some common dangers at sea, it can reach seven or eight percent, it is already a rare good ship.

At present, only the seafarers of the ocean-going exploration fleet who have been running at sea for seven or eight years can reach this level when driving those steel-clad ships, that is to say, in ten voyages of more than ten days, they can only ensure that seven or eight times are safe and accident-free, and there are two or three possible accidents, as for the size of the losses caused, it depends on luck, usually, some bumps and bumps, or the hull is more damaged, because so far, they are in a group to pull a long line, However, there was no total annihilation, and the most serious one was only the loss of two boats and one or two hundred men.

"The draft of this ship, more than all the ships we have made in the past, its highest safe carrying capacity, reached 50,000 stones, waves within a zhang high, it is difficult to overturn it, after our 30 navigation tests, we have come to the conclusion that the ship's own anti-risk ability, should reach sixty percent, and, because of its large size, very firm, under the control of experienced captains and sailors, it can better avoid risks, so we give it an overall safety rating, is more than eighty percent."

50,000 stones, that is, 6 million catties, converted into tons, that is, 3,000 tons, and in fact, it will not be transported to the highest safe load of cargo at all, can be loaded to 2,500 tons, and still run, even if it is good, this kind of load of the ship, in the later generations, let alone at sea, is on the Yangtze River, the load capacity of any small and medium-sized sand transport ship, are more than it, the ship of later generations, without a load of three or five thousand tons, is easy to lose money when running on the river.

But it can't be helped, it represents a kind of limit in this era, power, hindering its development.

"In my opinion, his safety factor is about sixty percent, because, we Datang, there are not so many experienced captains like you, from the time I go to Lingnan, I need to dispatch you, the chief engineer of the Hangzhou shipyard, to personally drive the ship, which can be seen."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Yang Min's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and it was really as he said, the Datang shipping system has expanded tenfold in just seven or eight years, and all the skilled shipwrights have been recruited into this industry.

You know, at the beginning of this year, even the ordinary crew members who run boats on the Yangtze River waterway have risen to five yuan a month, but there is no one on the market at all, if it were not for the shipyard to provide some students from Weinan Vocational and Technical College to support, it would not be possible to expand at all, of course, even if it is expanded, it is very reluctant to expand, the reason, Sun Xiangfu has just said that this little thing of driving a boat also requires a chief engineer like Yang Min to come, this is the status quo.

Yang Min said helplessly, "This is also a helpless thing, after there are more technologies involved, there are not enough talents in the society to join, and we have no choice." ”

Sun Xiangfu said, "If there are not so many talents, we must start cultivating talents." ”

To put it bluntly, what restricts the development of this industry is the education system, and if Datang had opened a special navigation college in the early years, this would not have been the case.

Yang Min explained, "Vocational and technical colleges are recruiting students every year! However, the conditions for learning to sail are very harsh, and the northerners are not good at water, and there are not many people who have the conditions and choose to be seafarers. ”

"The northerners are not good at water, so they built the college to the south, to put it bluntly, or the treatment is not good enough, in this way, you send someone to help me send a letter to Lao Yang, let him write a chapter to His Majesty, the shipyard funded, specially set up a navigation college in Hangzhou Bay, people who have completed basic cultural education can sign up for the study, during the study period, the board and lodging are free, and then the living allowance of the consistent money is given every month, each college has a maximum of three years of study, during which as long as the graduation standard is reached, the monthly salary starts at ten times."

"Study for free, pay back the money, and the monthly salary starts at 10 percent?" Yang Min's eyes widened at Sun Xiangfu's words.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Market demand determines their value, and in the future, Datang will need more crew members who can drive ships to sea, so such an investment is also worth it, let Lao Yang play the imperial court." ”

Why do you say that the 100-year plan is education-oriented! Without the support of the education system, you will be subject to elbowing restrictions when you do anything, Datang has now passed the period of primitive capital accumulation, it is in the mints all over the country, every day is constantly minting money, it's time to smash money at the education mouth, when the supply and demand relationship is balanced, when is it not too late to stop.

Just like Li Shimin's crazy minting of money now, Sun Xiangfu has never dissuaded him, because there is still too little money in the market, and to a large extent, it has not been able to guarantee the circulation, and it can be concluded from the fact that the prices of grain, cloth, poultry, livestock, and other major commodities that can be produced by the people still do not have the slightest tendency to rise.

Of course, Li Shimin will not be willing to stop until he mints the money to the scale of Tang money used all over the world.

The boat is big enough, so the facilities are also very complete, what a lifeboat, life jacket! Emergency medicine, etc., etc., everything, Sun Xiangfu's favorite fiddle is still those metal fishing rods.

Marseille's alloy research has made new progress, he has made a lot of synthetic metals with different toughness, and marked them, now he loves to get it, is no longer tough and wear-resistant metals, because he feels that the dozens of models he has researched are comprehensive enough, to a limit, so he turned to the study of those metals with morphological recovery, and even tensile force.

The first batch of results, is the fishing rod in Sun Xiangfu's hand, don't look at him only as thick as a finger, dozens of catties of sea fish, the pull that bursts out in the water, it is impossible to break it, or permanently bend it, see the grouper weighing more than 20 catties he caught, Sun Xiangfu's fishing desire has been greatly satisfied, it seems that this way to Lingnan, will not be so boring.
