Chapter 949: Visit

Xu Zizhen and a few others simply unloaded the disguise when they entered the forest that protected the base, but they had not washed it with water, and there were still some oil paint and other things on their faces, and they were a little stuffy after walking this section of the road, and their faces were a little uncomfortable, but at this time, none of them had the heart to wash their faces, because everyone couldn't help but want to see the whole picture of the ship.

When I came closer, I realized that I had underestimated the ship just now, standing in front of this huge monster, everyone felt that they were extraordinarily small, Xu Zizhen and Zhao Zhen took the lead in climbing up from a long ladder at the stern of the ship, and officially stepped on this giant ship, Xu Zizhen took a deep breath, only to feel a passion in his chest.

There were people busy everywhere on the ship, there were carpenters, blacksmiths, and the science and engineering students sent by Xu Zizhen were also among them, each of them looked very focused, as if they were working together to create a peerless boutique, Xu Zizhen and the others did not attract their attention, and many people did not even raise their heads.

Suddenly, someone came over with a smile, he was wearing a dirty short coat, and a bag hung around his waist, the bag was a variety of tools, Xu Zizhen also smiled, strode over, and shouted: "Uncle! ”

This man who looks like a craftsman is Yun Shanglan's uncle, Du Jin, a former master of the three peerless halls, Xu Zizhen found that he was much thinner than before he came here last year, and his white hair was half a circle more, but his spirit seemed to be good, and his eyes were full of energy.

Du Jin put a small chisel back into the bag, wiped his hands on his body casually, and said with a smile: "I guess you should also come, you are in a hurry these days, look, are you still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, so satisfied, it simply exceeded my expectations." Xu Zizhen's praise was completely sincere, because he just drew a drawing for Du Jin, indicating the general situation of each part, and the size was completely decided by Du Jin and Hao Donglai.

Xu Zizhen suddenly stood still, bowed deeply, and said with a straight face: "Uncle, thank you, you have worked hard!" ”

Du Jin was slightly stunned, then nodded at him with his finger: "You kid...... Come, I'll show you the whole thing. ”

"Hey, good!"

Du Jin walked side by side with Xu Zizhen and Zhao Zhen, and Meng Du, Gao Pujun and others followed closely behind, listening carefully to Du Jin's explanation.

"This ship is almost finished, only some small work still needs to be finished, the total length of the hull is forty-one zhang, the width is nineteen zhang, and the cabin has three floors, which can accommodate a thousand people." Like an old engineer, Du Jin took out a drawing from his arms that was about to be turned over, and said as he walked.

"There are nine main guns on each side of the ship, three at the bow and three at the stern, and the firing range is about five miles when there is no wind, so if it is a naval battle, it will be enough to deal with a whole fleet."

Xu Zizhen nodded again and again, thinking deeply, because he knew that the Northern Song Dynasty actually did not pay attention to the navy, most of them were deployed in the south, and they were only used to maintain law and order in various places, and the real border navy was mainly the Dengzhou Navy on Jingdong Road, which was at the tip of the Shandong Peninsula, facing the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea, and the main attack weapon was nothing more than a bow and crossbow spear, at most equipped with some rockets.

And since the decline of the Liao State and the rise of the Jin people, accounting for half of the Great Song Dynasty, even Dengzhou is gone, how can there be any water army? Du Jin said that according to the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty naval army, and with more than 20 guns on this ship, in fact, the Dengzhou naval army with a full formation is rich.

Du Jin walked to the side of the boat, tore off a large oilcloth, and suddenly revealed a thick cannon body that was dark and dull with a cold and cold light, and everyone looked at the muzzle that was almost the size of their heads, and they all gasped, becoming more and more convinced of everything Du Jin said.

The more Xu Zizhen looked at it, the more excited he became, because these cannons were obviously more advanced than the cannons he had built at the beginning, just by touching the barrel with his hand, he could feel that the quenching technology had improved again, obviously in order to forge these cannons to match such a ship, Du Jin and Tang Lun did not waste a lot of brain cells.

And Zhao Zhen, Meng Du and the others didn't know what was going on, and thought that this was still Xu Zizhen's means, so they looked at him with awe and weirdness, Du Jin didn't say anything in his eyes, he only smiled secretly, anyway, Xu Zizhen is his nephew and son-in-law, and this credit is the same for everyone.

Du Jin took them around, and did not explain them all in detail, Xu Zizhen and they also understood that since it was only "almost completed", there must be a lot of things that had not been installed, just talking about artillery fire, Du Jin had already said that these more than 20 were main guns, and there were obviously other guns of various models.

The three-story cabin also took a lot of thought, when it looked closely, it looked like a city tower, majestic and majestic, standing at the highest point and looking into the distance, coupled with Xu Zizhen's telescope, Gao Pujun even doubted that they could see the capital of the Jin Kingdom from Bohai Bay.

When he got out of the cabin, Gao Pujun suddenly noticed one thing, there was another cabin at the back of the cabin, only one and a half stories high, and there were windows everywhere outside the cabin, but they were all closed.

Gao Pujun asked, "Where is this?" ”

Du Jin's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of pride, and he replied with a smile: "This place is called the boiler room." ”

Rao is Gao Pujun is known as a talented woman, and she didn't understand what this was, she was just about to ask, but Xu Zizhen interrupted: "What do you care about him, let's take a look at the others first, such a big ship can't be seen in the middle of the night at your speed?" ”

Gao Pujun glared at him angrily, but didn't ask any more, Du Jin glanced at Xu Zizhen funny, seemed to see something, and didn't explain any more.

Xu Zizhen secretly screamed that it was dangerous, the bet of the double phoenix and the dragon still had to rely on this thing, and it could not be exposed now.

Everyone then visited the front cabin and deck, Gao Pujun looked at it very seriously, she was stunned to find that this ship has a total of nine masts and thirteen sails, three points more than the warships used by the ordinary Song Dynasty Navy, she glanced at Xu Zizhen, and secretly disdainful, the wind power of this ship is enough for sea navigation, but the more sails there are, the more manpower is needed, and thirty people can start? Fool it!

Half an hour later, the entire hull was all visited, and the others were fine, but professionals like Gao Pujun were already excited to see it, if there were more such ships...... No, as long as there are two more ships, she can already dominate the four seas, but she still has a lot of things she doesn't understand, such as the boiler room on the ship, and why the stern is empty, as if there are still some big things that have not been loaded.

Back on the ground, Zhao Zhen and Meng Du praised the boat again, and Xu Zizhen was not polite, and accepted all the orders, as if the boat was man-made by him.

Gao Pujun frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "Although this ship can carry a thousand people, it seems ...... a thousand people to attack the capital of the Jinren."

Du Jin smiled: "No, no, no, not thousand, but three thousand." ”
