Chapter 406: Cruisers

Zhao Shimin said loudly: "Yes, my lord, I understand that if I don't let them take it easy, they may really die of exhaustion in order to earn more money." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Shi Jincai said: "My lord, every time I take turns to rest, the mechanics arrange major repairs when they rest, and sharpen the knife and not cut the wood." ”

Huang Sheng asked the officials who followed the inspection: "How much money can the female workers earn in a month after working hard?" ”

Sun Jiwang was the person in charge of the experimental workshop of the cloth factory, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, these female workers are all skilled masters, and they used to earn one or five taels of silver without working overtime a month, but now they should be more than two taels." ”

The labor remuneration of a skilled female worker can catch up with the guaranteed monthly salary of the regular soldiers, and Huang Sheng is very satisfied.

Said to everyone: "Remember, the welfare benefits can not be paid less because they have more monthly money, prepare more mung bean soup in summer, and let every worker change into sweat-soaked clothes after work in winter. ”

"Yes, my lordship, I know how to treat every craftsman well." Everyone who heard the advice of the head of the house said loudly, and a few of the female workers who were busy were already ...... with tears in their eyes.

Thirty looms were producing canvas, which was woven with multiple strands, so the texture was firm, wear-resistant, tight and thick, and the wider the better, and the sails on the warship would have fewer seams to increase durability.

The Han people used tung oil to prevent corrosion as early as a thousand years ago, and this technology was thousands of years ahead of Europe.

The tung oil is not soaked or brushed several times with a brush, but the raw tung oil is processed into cooked tung oil, and the cotton yarn is dipped over and over again and evenly rubbed, and the service life of the sail on the tung oil is more than twice that of the European sail.

Such oiled canvas is also the best material for making marching tents, raincoats, umbrellas, and carports, so wide canvas is in high demand.

The Huang family has already begun to use canvas to make labor protection uniforms for craftsmen in steel mills, and is also producing canvas military shoes, and can even try to produce hot air balloons in the future.

This is the research project of the Huang family's technical team, Huang Sheng came up with an idea, trial production of a burner fueled by fierce fire oil to make a hot air balloon, if successful, in the vast prairie in the future, looking for the enemy will be twice the result with half the effort!

The hot air balloons that rose into the air one by one, on which there were two Huang family scouts who were observed with Galilean telescopes, and the Mongolian cavalry within a radius of dozens of miles could not hide.

The cavalry has lost its concealment, and of course it has lost the suddenness of its attack, and they will continue to fall into the encirclement of Huang Jiare's weapons and horses, and there will be no chance of turning the tables in the future.

The output of the Huang family's weaving mills and yarn mills has doubled, and the cost has plummeted, but the Huang family's Songjiang cloth is still not exported to compete with the private capital of the Ming Dynasty for the market.

So far, Huang Sheng has not let his system produce products on a large scale to impact the already fragile economic balance of the Ming Dynasty.

It is better to take some trouble to dump it on foreign countries, the European market is very large, and many European countries that have accumulated too much wealth after continuous plundering in the colonies of the world, Huang Shengxian economic aggression and they will get a piece of the pie.

This is very beneficial, and the influx of high-quality and inexpensive cloth has made the European textile industry, which is already inferior in technology, lagging behind the Ming Dynasty by a century.

With the closure of European yarn mills and cloth factories one by one, there are no workshop-type yarn mills and cloth factories that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, if you don't learn the technology of the Huang family, European history will be rewritten, and I am afraid that Jenny spinning machines may not be able to be invented in a hundred years.

There is no doubt that invention and technological innovation are the sparks of thought that the wise man burst out of his continuous labor, and without the support of the industrial chain, it is impossible to fabricate it out of thin air, and it is not Huang Sheng's intention to open a golden finger.

Daming is actually the advanced productive forces of this era, cotton spinning, silk weaving technology is proud of the world, agricultural technology throws off a few streets in Europe, the Han people's minds are emancipated, Wang Yangming's psychology has a far-reaching influence, and all kinds of books published in a month by Daming are the sum of the whole European year.

What a pity! Pity! At the moment before the cold weapon was about to withdraw from the stage of history, the Tunguska barbarians jumped out, the luck of the Jiannu was too good, and the Han people were so unlucky!

The ship design team led by Zhao Shimin completed the design task arranged by the head of the family again, and the three-masted galleon "cruiser" with a single gun deck was successfully designed, and two models were designed this time.

Zhao Shimin and the designers named the "cruiser" after the Wenchen Wufu of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the "Guo Jia-class" has a carrying capacity of 400 tons and a displacement close to that of the Daming No. 2 Fu ship. The "Zhaoyun class" has a carrying capacity of 200 tons and a displacement of 400 tons.

The advantages of the new "cruiser" are that it is simple in structure, easy to build, cheap to build, and fast in speed. Due to the propeller technology, the Huang family designed "cruisers" that were very different from those of the West.

In order to increase the speed of the European "cruisers", each ship is equipped with more than 24 giant oars, and the Huang family does not need such an inefficient manpower drive at all.

If the Huang family's "cruisers" appear in Europe, they can completely blow up their "cruisers", because the Huang family's "cruisers" are fast and have strong firepower.

The "Guo Jia" class "cruisers" are designed with 24 guns of 9-pound, 12-pound, and 24-pound specifications, including six rifled guns.

The single-gun deck "cruisers" were much shorter than the "battleships" to increase safety, and the Huang family specially designed a watchtower as high as seven zhang to compensate for the limited visibility due to the low height.

The "Guo Jia-class" and "cruiser" together with all the standard equipment were designed to cost a total of 50,000 taels of silver.

Why is there no savings in cost at all? Because the head of the family is people-oriented, he refuses to regard every time he goes to sea as a gamble of fate.

In order to prevent such a fast ship from running aground, not only the multi-sealed cabins of Chinese ships were designed.

He also ingeniously used the technical advantages of Huangjia springs to use white copper plates with 64 sealed spring shock absorbers in the bow of the ship, just like the anti-collision device of the Hummer car, and the front of the bow below the waterline, this device alone requires 5,000 taels of silver.

With such a design, theoretically, the "cruiser" will not sink if it hits the reef at a speed of twelve knots, and the probability of even being injured is not high.

The ship is small, the Huang team is confident in their own design, and each arranged seven ships under construction at a time, such a ship is not only used as a warship, its carrying capacity is also remarkable, and it can be used for both purposes when escorting merchant ships in the future, Zhao Shimin thinks it is too cost-effective, so he decided to produce it in large quantities.

On the ninth day of September, Huang Sheng set off again to Edo Bay to find the Japanese general Zhengyi to re-sign the "38 Treaty".

The main purpose was to increase the supply of rice, copper ingots, sulfur, saltpeter, and lead, and now that "Huaxia Island" is close to Japan, most of the gunpowder manufacturing will be produced in the arsenal of "Huaxia Island" in the future, and the large-scale relocation of the arsenal on Scorpion Island has begun.

There was no diplomatic rhetoric in dealing with the powerful Wa Kingdom, and four huge battleships and dozens of small battleships flaunted their might in Edo Bay, and the roaring artillery almost scared the Admiral of Seiyi out of his heart.

The little Japanese were stunned, they found that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be getting stronger and stronger year by year, and they couldn't catch up with their horses, so the general Zhengyi had an attitude.
