Zhen Qian made two round-trips between Saga Town and the Wufeng Islands within a month, and although the distance between the two places was less than 200 miles in a straight line, it was not easy to go back and forth in the era when there were no trains and planes.

However, this time Zhen Qian had to return to the Wufeng Islands, and this time the matter was too serious, and even some previous plans had to be revised, so that Zhen Qian had to personally gather everyone to discuss together.

In a large conference room in the parliament building on the north main island of the Five Peaks Islands.

"Mr. Ke, when will the transformation of the three sea ships brought by Zhen Shi this time be completed, and how many sea ships can the shipyard take out in a short period of time now, and what type of ships are they?"

This time, Zhen Qian's sudden return to the Wufeng Islands surprised everyone, and they didn't know what major events had happened, if it wasn't for the big things, Zhen Qian would not have rushed back to the Wufeng Islands in person.

"Zhen Lang!" Ke Ming was obviously unprepared for this problem, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said: "In the past two months, the shipyard has mainly focused on the design of new sea ships, and only five 500-stone cargo ships and one thousand-stone cargo ship have been built, and there are two 500-stone cargo ships and one thousand-stone warship in the dock, which will be completed soon. As for the three sea ships that Zhen Shi brought this time, they have already been rebuilt in the dock, and if they are urgently needed, they can be transformed within fifteen days! ”

In the past three months, seven 500-stone cargo ships and two thousand-stone sea ships can be built, which is already very amazing in Datang, but under the construction and assembly line of the Wufeng Islands, this speed can only be described as snail speed.

The construction of 500 stone cargo ships is mainly used for the transportation of goods between short-distance islands, after all, the manpower required by the thousand stone sea ships and the 500 stone sea ships is different, and the flexibility, operability, convenience and other aspects are different, which does not mean that large ships are better than small ships.

These days, Ke Ming did not put his mind on building ships, this is also Zhen Qian's requirements, the larger the tonnage of cross-sea transport ships, the more stable, the bigger and more economical, the big ships have the benefits of big ships, but the big ships are not easy to build, the shipyard has just been built, the technology, material allocation, personnel management and other things are in the run-in, at this time it is most suitable to build some small ships.

Plans can't keep up with changes!

Zhen Qian found that he now had a pitiful number of ships available in his hands, large and small, including a few ships still in the shipyard, there were only a dozen ships in his hands, of which there were only four thousand stone ships, and if there was really something, he would only cry.

Blunder! It's definitely my biggest mistake!

He was bent on building a new type of sailing ship, but the requirements for the ships were too high, and he neglected to fight between the islands, but in fact, a large number of small ships were enough.

Now the frustration is gone!

Zhen Qian suddenly discovered that shipbuilding should actually adapt to his own development plan, for example, if he wants to control the first island chain in the first step, it would be best if he had more than a dozen thousand-stone sea ships in his hand.

The problem is that building a thousand-stone ship, and building two five-hundred-stone boats, is not as simple as adding tonnage, and the time to build a thousand-stone ship can completely build three, or even four five-hundred-stone boats, because the boat technology is simpler, and the materials required are not harsh, and you can form your own navy in a short time.

When all aspects of shipbuilding technology are mature, the time to build large ships will also be shortened, and there is nothing wrong with it in the long run.

Moreover, during this time, a large number of small boats could be used for the training of sailors, and there was no need to wait for the construction of large ships before allowing sailors to train for use.

After understanding this, Zhen Qian did not regret it, but it was an opportunity for self-training.

Since Zhen Qian handed over the shipyard to Ke Ming to take care of, he rarely asked about the shipyard, which was also worried about what jokes he would make as a layman leader inside and outside, in fact, it was true, in the past three months, Ke Ming took care of the shipyard in an orderly manner, soaked in the shipyard all day long, and brought a lot of apprentices with him when he had time, and passed on his experience to others without reservation, without carrying it at all.

"Mr. Ke, our previous shipbuilding ideas are a little biased", Zhen Qian first admitted his mistake, and did not feel any shame at all, dodging will only make professionals look down on in their hearts, "We are now based on the Wufeng Islands, and the islands we occupy are all on the southern coast of the Wa Kingdom, and the distance between the islands is mostly not too far, so there is no need to rush to build large sea ships ......." ”

"Does Zhen Lang want to give up building large sea ships for the time being?" Ke Ming, of course, would not think that Zhen Qian would give up the construction of large ships.

"That's not what I meant!"

What to build first, what to build later, you can't become a fat man in one bite, Zhen Qian actually forgot about this.

"We used to ignore the construction of ships below a thousand stones, although we are also building some cargo ships of five hundred stones, but the number is far from enough, and the technology and technology of building ships of a thousand stones in our shipyards are not mature, and it is obviously half the effort to build a large number of ships of a thousand stones in a short period of time, and in the future, the transportation between islands like the Wufeng Islands, the use of large ships for transportation is not economical, and it is easy to cause management chaos, so I am ready to make a plan for the application of ships, For example, in the future, when the distance between the islands is within 100 li, ships of less than 300 stone should be used as much as possible when traveling between them, and ships of about 500 stone should be used only if the distance is within 300 li for more than 100 li, and ships of 1,000 stone should try not to leave the port ...... when there is no major task. ”

Wang Lun on the side nodded frequently and said: "Zhen Lang's idea is too good, there are more than 30 islands in the Wufeng Islands alone, and now eight have been developed and utilized, it is indeed inappropriate to use ships of more than 500 stones for the exchange between the islands, and we do not have a single ship below 500 stones, which makes it extremely inconvenient for the islands to travel between them, I didn't expect Zhen Lang to have considered this problem." I have a few ideas, one is to establish a fixed route between the islands with frequent traffic to facilitate the movement of people on the island. The second is whether it is possible to build some smaller boats, which can carry more than a dozen people, and the cost can also be reduced, and can even be sold for personal use, or used as personal fishing boats. The third is to formulate a method for planning the use of ships, first plan the channel of the sea area around the Wufeng Islands, and then change the ...... if it is found to be inappropriate. ”

Ke Ming is very interested in Wang Lun's proposal, the shipyard builds some small civilian ships, this idea is very good, the more ships are built in the shipyard, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is improved, the construction process can slowly become reasonable, and even some new navigation technology can be used on small ships first, avoiding waste at the same time, you can also have time to improve and explore!
