This story is, of course, the legend of the Condor Heroes of later generations, and after a few lectures, Huang Han saw that the soldiers loved to listen to it, and he had an idea in his heart.

Why didn't the "Red Banner Army" publish a newspaper of its own system? Newspapers can convey information, broaden the horizons of soldiers, promote positive energy, and serialize such as the Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Then when he had time, Huang Han picked up the pen and began to write the biography of the Condor Heroes with his memory, basically faithful to the original work, but emphasizing the national integrity, belittling the Mongolian Tatars, and exposing the cruelty of the Tatars and their destructive power to the Han civilization.

Due to the design of the Chinese hard sail combined with the Western soft sail of the old lock ship, it has been widely praised by the shipbuilders of the "Red Flag Army" system, and it has been proved in practice that this design makes better use of wind power under the condition that safety is guaranteed.

Therefore, the No. 2 and No. 3 Fu ships that were seized and embezzled, including the Zhu Yin ships of the Wa Kingdom, were also renovated one after another, and soft sails were added, and these ships were about 10 percent faster than before the renovation without exception when there was a suitable wind direction and wind strength.

When some of the occupied ships were renovated, some of the ships that were too old were scrapped because of the large amount of money required for maintenance, and also because the speed of these ships could not meet the requirements.

Huang is building large-scale old gate ships with simple structure, high cost performance and superior seaworthiness.

With traditional Chinese stiff sails and a streamlined Western-style hull, this type of ship is faster than traditional Chinese sailing ships, requires fewer manpower than Western-style sailing ships, and is unmatched in speed with the addition of oars.

Due to the adoption of all-steel keels to save the thirst for giant trees, it has become possible to standardize production, and now the drawings of the displacement of 300 to 900 tons have been perfected, and it is believed that in the near future, the larger old lock ship will also be successfully designed.

The forging of steel into keels and ribs only reduces the demand for hard giant wood, but at this time, the main structure of the sea ship is still wood, so the demand for shipbuilding wood is still endless.

Steel is used to solve the most wood-demanding components of the keel and ribs of the sea ship, and other parts such as decks, cabin wrenches, masts, etc. are relatively easy to prepare.

Huang's docks are all purchased from existing government and private docks for expansion, and the craftsmen are actively preparing materials when production begins, because the wood has to be dried in the shade for a year or two before it can be used.

Originally, all the major shipyards in Liaohai had prepared materials, but now they have basically been bought out by the Huang family, and these ready-made timbers can meet the production of the Huang family's initial warships and merchant ships.

With the increase in the tonnage of ships under construction, the existing timber in the vicinity is unsustainable, and now the merchants who purchase and traffick marine timber have been stocking up in Nanzhili.

Last autumn, driven by Wang Yuqi, a senior craftsman of the former Longjiang Shipyard, under the temptation of having a new type of sea ship to build, and with the support of Xu Guangqi, the old man of the Imperial Court, more than a dozen masters from Longjiang Shipyard defected to Huang's shipbuilding industry.

They have adopted the method of purchasing new materials and dismantling old materials from seagoing vessels in large quantities, and have basically been able to maintain the production of Huang's shipbuilding.

A year later, a large amount of timber cut down from the deep mountains and old forests and transported to the dock for dry use will be put into use, and the far-sighted Wang Yuqi has already prepared materials in advance on a large scale, and the timber resources will not become an obstacle to the development of the "Red Flag Army" sailors.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, too many deep mountains and old forests, as long as there is food, there are so many Han people who are willing to make efforts to cut wood, which are not at all comparable to Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands.

The soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town have been cutting timber in the Yalu River basin and selling it down the river to the Huang family in exchange for grain and cloth, and they are not satisfied with cutting down on the Korean side of Jiangdong, so they cross the river from time to time to dig ginseng and cut down big trees in the Jiannu area.

It was precisely because of the rising "Red Banner Army" that Dongjiang Town's life was much better, so the situation of the island generals rushing to Li Jiucheng to participate in the rebellion did not appear.

Mao Chenglu, the main leader of the rebels, is now stationed at Zhenjiang Fort at the mouth of the Yalu River, and this kid has been awarded the honor of being beheaded by 100 people, and has been trained in the logistics of the stainless steel pulley bow as a prize, and is now able to continuously shoot a whole arrow and insert fifty steel arrows.

He now gets a lot more money and food, and his men and horses have a small 3,000, and he trains his soldiers every day to fight for the Jin army to repay the Holy Son of Heaven for rehabilitating Zhaoxue to his father-in-law Mao Wenlong, who died unjustly.

Mao Chenglu's main way to make money is to organize people to go into the deep mountains and old forests to dig ginseng, beat black bears, make bears' paws, cut down big trees and sell them to Tiger's Den City, which has become the norm.

The construction of new ships with the wood of old ships is not an expedient measure, but the instinct of a master shipbuilder.

Because the official shipyard of Daming has clearly stipulated that a new ship under construction must use no less than 30% of the old materials, and regardless of whether the shipyard has a surplus of new wood.

Therefore, as long as the craftsmen who built ships for the imperial court have developed the habit of using some old materials, and as long as the old ship materials are properly selected, the quality of the new ships will not be affected at all, and it is easier to form.

Huang also has the advantage that he does not need the keels of old ships, these giant trees are often the best wood on old ships, and now they are used as ordinary wood for the masts and decks of new ships, which makes the master master led by Wang Yuqi feel overwhelmed.

After the improvement, a certain proportion of the sail of the Western soft sail is added to the wind area of the sail of the Fuchuan is two or three percent more, and it can be close to one percent in the case of a large headwind, and it can be close to one percent along the zigzag sailing, after all, the large sailing ships of this era are completely dependent on the wind resistance, and there are few people who are driven by manpower.

This was due to the importance of supplies for the sea, and if there were too many sailors on board to drive the ship, there would be no need for the ship to travel long distances.

Calculate the accounts, a person's daily consumption of water and food is about one-fifteenth of his body weight, if a month's voyage for a person's supply needs to occupy the weight of two people, the required space for activities can not be small, with a hundred people in the cabin how much space can be used to carry goods?

After feeding 100 people to eat, drink, and pay 100 people, how profitable is this long-distance trafficking?

Therefore, it is too luxurious to drive large merchant ships by manpower, and although the oars designed by Huang have tripled the efficiency of manpower, they cannot be used on merchant ships, but on passenger ships and warships.

Because there are idle passengers on the passenger ship who are provided with free labor, as long as the ticket is appropriately discounted, the gunners and marines on the ship can take turns to provide manpower to speed up the ship.

Huang Han often managed the master craftsmen in the system to continue to study and explore, and Wang Yuqi and other master shipbuilders often accompanied warships and merchant ships to the sea, and they wanted to improve the design of ships through practice.

This time, the head of the family went to sea in person, of course, Wang Yuqi had to be more attentive, he not only went to the flagship in person, but also brought a few masters, more than 20 apprentices, and grandchildren.
