When Zhang Shun took people to visit Chen Lan, Shi Jin took people to inspect the shipbuilding workshop.

In a coastal fishing village 50 miles away from the temporary water village in Laizhou, Shi Jin sent people to buy off the officials of the Laizhou government.

Meng Kang, alias Meng San, set up a shipbuilding workshop here with nearly 200 carpenters and craftsmen to build sea ships.

The process of making a boat is quite complex, with a fixed process.

The manufacture of a ship, from material preparation, keel erection to painting, is all done by hand.

The materials used for shipbuilding need to choose wood that is lightweight, strong and water-resistant, and Huaxia mostly chooses camphor wood, fir wood, pine wood, and iron power wood.

Choose the wood and leave it to dry for a few years.

First of all, the keel should be erected, and then the keel should be nailed on both sides of the "flat bottom" to increase the area and prevent the ship from shaking during the voyage, which is easy to operate;

Immediately after that, the ribs were fitted and fixed with beams, during which low seats were installed, and the cabins were divided in parallel, and the bulkheads were bound to complete the frame of the ship;

Then nail the longitudinal member gangway, first nail the mid-ventral gangway, and then bind the gangway from the bottom of the ship upwards, after the gangway is bound, that is, the deck and the edge of the deck are covered to complete the hull;

Then there is the house, that is, the ship's boss's platform, bedroom, rudder, mast, sail, anchor, etc.;

Finally, the putty workers plug the seams, repair the plaster, paint and paint, and complete the whole ship.

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Li Kui walked in the shipbuilding workshop, listening to Meng Kang's explanation of the construction of the ship, while watching the keel in front of them have been spliced. It is next to the keel on both sides of the nail "flat bottom".

This ship was the first sea ship built by Liangshan, and Shi Jin did not dare to ask Meng Kang to improve it for the sake of safety. It was built according to the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty with 2,000 stones.

The traditional 2,000 stone sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty are generally more than 10 zhang long, 3 zhang high, 2 zhang and 5 feet wide, and can carry 2,000 stones.

The bottom of the ship has a unique watertight cabin structure.

The ship is divided into three cabins: the front bilge is used for the stove and the water tank. The middle cabin is divided into four compartments. The rear cabin is more than a foot high, and there are windows on the four walls.

Shi Jin took a look at it and asked, "Brother Meng Kang, how long will it take to build such a ship?" ”

Meng Kang thought for a moment and said, "It takes about 250 days to build a sea ship with a load of 2,000 stones (about 120 tons). ”

When Shi Jin heard it, he said, "It's going to be 250 days!" Can that be faster? ”

Meng Kang shook his head and said, "Big brother, the sea ship is different from others, and you can't ask for speed. If the ship is damaged due to a mistake in construction, it will lead to the death of the whole ship! ”

"It's me who is confused, and safety comes first in construction!"

Shi Jin pondered for a moment and said: "If we adopt the division of labor, each carpenter is only responsible for one task, that is, those who plane wood only plank wood, and those who nail planks only nail planks. Wouldn't it be a little faster? ”

Meng Kang thought for a moment and said, "If several ships are built at the same time, it may shorten the overall construction time, but it may take a little longer than just one ship." After all, we have so many people. “

Shi Jin heard this and said, "You mean, if we adopt the division of labor, it will take about three or four hundred days to build several ships at the same time?" ”

Meng Kang nodded and said, "Well, that's roughly the case!" ”

Sure enough, streamlined production is not a panacea, only suitable for large-scale, standardized production, in order to reduce the overall cost and time.

Otherwise, with modern technology, the construction of small batches such as large sea ships and large aircraft is still very time-consuming, even up to a year or two.

Shi Jin said: "If that's the case, I've waited anyway, and two or three hundred days are about the same." Brother Meng Kang, we bought the timber for five sea ships, and you can build them at the same time! ”

Meng Kang said: "If it is built at the same time, this water village needs to be expanded, and the carpenters and craftsmen had better use more tricks!" ”

Shi Jin said: "For the carpenter and craftsman, I will let Zhu Gui assist you." You just need to build a sea boat with peace of mind! ”

After inspecting it, Shi Jin told Meng Kang to build a sea ship with his heart, and he took Li Kui and them back to Shuizhai quickly.

Zhang Shun has returned, waiting for Shi Jin in the camp.

As soon as he saw Shi Jin walking into the handsome tent, Zhang Shun hurriedly got up and shouted, "Big brother, I didn't do what you explained." Please punish you! ”

Shi Jin sat down and said, "Brother Zhang Shun, tell me about the matter in detail!" ”

Hearing Zhang Shun's description, Shi Jinpi lowered his mouth without smiling.

Dozens of taels of silver!

This is called Hanako!

Shi Jin also thought about persuading them to submit, but the three of them together had more than 300 thieves, 2 medium-sized boats, and more than 80 fishing boats.

The newly established navy in Yangsan had only more than 400 people, 4 large sea ships and 20 small boats, and it did not have an advantage in strength.

They were obedient, and Shi Jin didn't know how to place them. The status is low, but I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied. The status is high, but I am afraid that Zhang Heng and Li Jun will be dissatisfied.

What's more, these three pirates are all ruthless, as long as the ships he robs never survive.

This made Shi Jin very dissatisfied with their brutal and unkind style.

Shi Jin planned to forcibly incorporate the three of them after gaining a foothold in Liu Dao. After all, the three of them are familiar with this sea area, which can help Liu Jun and Zhang Heng adapt to Hainan Airlines faster.

When the time comes, if they are willing to mend their ways, then let them go. If you don't repent of death, you will have to be dealt with by military law.

But now it seems that these three guys really look like themselves as a dish, and if they don't take it seriously, I'm afraid they will underestimate them.

Shi Jin said with a cold face: "It's not your fault, it's that Chen Lan's house is too rampant!" Brothers, Chen Lan from Liu Island rejected our proposal. You say, 'What should we do?' ”

Li Kui immediately shouted: "Big brother, what else is there to say." Since those pirates don't give you face. Iron Bull led people to kill the island and wiped out the birdmen. ”

Zhu Wu said: "Those pirates must be exterminated!" It's just that if it's not clean. Let them escape, I am afraid that it will cause us a lot of trouble. After all, having lived here for many years, the sea is more familiar than us. Zhang Heng: Their training time is relatively short, and there are not enough sea vessels, so it is difficult to eliminate them in one fell swoop. If you can mobilize another 200 sailors and more than 50 ships from Liangshan. That would be more secure! ”

Shi Jin said: "No, Liangshan only has 600 sailors now, and they still want to defend Liangshan, which is already stretched." Now with more than 200 people and more than 50 ships, it will definitely not work! What else is there to do with the virtuous brother? ”

When Zhu Wu heard it, he thought about it and said, "If that's the case, big brother, it can only divide them and break them one by one!" The three bandits together are only more than 300 people to fight against us, as long as we find a way to divide them, it will not be difficult to win them! ”

Shi Jin said: "Brother Xian, tell me your strategy!" ”

Zhu Wu said: "I heard that when the three of them worked together to rob the big ship, Chen Lan relied on his own strength, and every time he sent troops to rob him, he always took six or seven percent, leaving only a little bit for Wanbao and Wang Gang. Wang Gang and they have complaints about Chen Landuo. The eldest brother has a promise of money, and his reputation for righteousness and squandering wealth is even greater, if he sends someone to lobby the other two, he will say that as long as they are obedient, let them sit in the chair. Or promised, after Chen Lan's death, this Liu Island will be under their control. Then let out the wind for Chen Lan to hear, no matter whether Wang Gang and they would return to obedience at that time, as long as they were suspicious and unwilling to cooperate. We can go all out to encircle and suppress Chen Lan. As soon as Chen Lan dies, she is not afraid of the hanging ear tiger Wang Gang and the world-shaking waves! “

Shi Jin nodded when he heard it and said, "Yes, just do what the virtuous brother wants!" ”

Zhu Wu said: "Tomorrow Zhu Wu will go to visit the hanging ear tiger Wang Gang and the world-shaking waves!" ”

Everyone should pay attention to their body and eat regularly. Otherwise, like a fat man, you have to spend money to see a doctor and take medicine! Get enough sleep and have regular meals!
