Zhu Cijiong often lamented that it would be nice if there were computers and printers in this era.

If there are these two things, he only needs to draw the drawings in his mind, add annotations, and send them down, and with Bi Maokang's current ability, he will definitely be able to make things quickly.

But, unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not have these two things.

Moreover, it is simply impossible to develop these two things at the current state of technology.

Therefore, he could only gather everyone together, talk about the drawings, explain carefully, let them completely understand what it was, and then draw the drawings themselves to do it.

He explained for a long time, and the problem of displacement and sealed cabin was finally clarified, but this only solved the problem of excessive mass of ironclad battleships, and did not involve specific production links.

Next, he has to separate all aspects of the development of the entire ironclad battleship and hand it over to specific people to be responsible for, so that the ironclad battleship can really be made.

Which part should I talk about first?

Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a while, and then decided to start with the simplest.

If you want to say that all the links in the manufacture of ironclad battleships, or all the equipment and materials that need to be used, it is the steel plate.

The steel plate was originally mass-produced, and the marine steel plate was only slightly different in material, and the formula of the material was also given by the system.

Zhu Cijiong said directly to Song Yingxing: "Chang Geng, wait a minute, I will write you a few steel recipes, and you will make these steels, which are all used when building ironclad warships." “

This is naturally very simple for Song Yingxing, even if there is no formula, he can slowly develop it, not to mention that now that the formula is available, as long as it is trial-produced, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Weichen understands." “

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijiong asked Xu Fuyuan again: "Fu Zhai, have you ever seen a hanging gourd?" “

That thing is everywhere now, Xu Fuyuan has naturally seen it, he quickly nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has seen it." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and then said: "Think about it, if you replace the chain with a wire rope kneaded from thin steel wires, and then use the motor to drive the wire rope up and down, is it more powerful and more trouble-free?" “

When Xu Fuyuan heard this, he thought about it, and then excitedly arched his hand and said, "The emperor is wise." “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll draw you a sketch, you can make this thing as soon as possible." “

After that, he picked up the brush and drew a sketch of the electric hoist and handed it to Xu Fuyuan.

Next, Zhu Cijiong drew a sketch of a blind rivet and a riveting gun, and then pointed to the sketch and said to Wang Zheng: "Liangfu, this is called a rivet, this is called a rivet, the usage is to make a move as big as a rivet on two iron plates, and then stuff the rivet in, and then use the rivet to pull the core of the rivet, so that the head of the rivet will be deformed, and the two iron plates will be riveted tightly together, do you understand?" “

This is actually not complicated, it is just a matter of conception, as long as you think of it, it is not very difficult to make it.

Wang Zheng looked at it with interest for a while, then nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen understands." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, handed him the sketch, and advised: "This ironclad battleship will also be used when building an ironclad battleship, you should make it quickly." “

Wang Zheng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." “

The seemingly simple things have been explained, and the next thing is more complicated, but there is one thing that should be made quickly, and this thing is the electric welding machine.

It's not that the principle of the electric welding machine is simple, nor that the electric welding machine is easy to develop, the main thing is that he has handed over this project to Xia Yunyi for research and development four years ago, and the difficulty of the electric welding machine is not the welding machine itself, but the production of the welding electrode.

He believes that after so many years, Xia Yunyi should have made the welding machine a long time ago, as for the welding electrode, this time the system provides a detailed formula and production method, as long as he hands it over to Xia Yunyi, I believe that this thing will be made soon.

Thinking of this, he asked Xia Yunyi directly: "Yi Zhong, how is the development of the electric welding machine?" “

When Xia Yunyi heard this, he said ashamedly: "The emperor forgives the sin, the welding machine Weichen has already made it, the main thing is that this welding electrode is too difficult to do, Weichen has tried a lot of materials, and the welding effect is not very good." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and comforted: "It's good that the welding machine is made, I have already thought of the materials and production methods of the welding electrode, and I will write it to you after the meeting." “

Xia Yunyi was naturally surprised when she heard this, and thanked her again and again, the problem of the welding machine was solved.

Then there is the problem of the production of ironclad battleships, this is a huge project, to be introduced in detail step by step, it is estimated that it will not be finished in a few days, however, the ironclad battleship is actually covered with a layer of ironclad outside the wooden battleship, and the wooden battleship will be produced early in the morning, and he does not need to make too many introductions, but the overall structure and how to cover the ironclad need to be described in detail.

Zhu Cijiong thought about it, and then picked up the brush to draw, this time he drew in more detail, the structure of the entire hull was drawn, and some sizes were marked in some places, after the painting, he said directly to Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, you see, this is the general structure of the ironclad battleship, the interior is actually similar to a wooden battleship, but with a layer of sealed cabins, do you understand?" “

Hearing this, Bi Maokang carefully looked at the sketch drawn by Zhu Cijiong, and then nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen understands." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, took a blank piece of paper and drew it, this time he drew a battleship, but judging from the marked size, the volume seems to be larger than the ironclad battleship, and there are no gun doors on both sides, but there are many guns on the deck.

After finishing the painting, he said to Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, you see, this is another kind of ironclad battleship, called an ironclad cruiser, the structure is a little simpler than the ironclad battleship, mainly used to hit the enemy's battleship, do you understand?" “

In later generations, the main function of the cruiser was, of course, not to hit the enemy's battleship, everyone was an iron bump, and if they collided together, they would end up together!

However, the cruiser at this time is more suitable for ramming, because the battleships produced by the anti-Habsburg coalition are all wooden battleships, and they are rammed with ironclad battleships that are far superior in quality and hardness to wooden battleships, which will definitely fall apart as soon as they collide, plus the cruisers are basically super cannons, and they are also in the front and rear directions, and they can also concentrate on firepower while crashing into enemy ships, which is especially suitable for frontal rigidity, so Zhu Cijiong said that it was used to collide, but it was not wrong.

This is simpler than the structure of the ironclad battleship, Bi Maokang naturally understands it at a glance, he quickly nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen understands." “

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijiong explained to him in detail how to cover the exterior of the battleship with iron sheets, and how to make and install ramming angles, and he finished talking for nearly half an hour.

In the end, the only people present were Sun Yuanhua who did not arrange a task, not that he was not skilled enough, the main thing is that there is a war everywhere now, he has a lot of things, Zhu Cijiong is afraid of delaying things, so he did not arrange a task for him.
