Today's wind was very strong, and the sky was also overcast, Gao Yun baked the brazier in his study very strongly, and told Pan Ran to close the door tightly and plunge into it, as if there was something to talk about.

"Brother Gongji, what kind of reputation has you studied?"

Gao Yun had already given up his desk, and looked at Lu Ji, who was staring at the half of the sheepskin drawing, looking quite anxious.

Early this morning, he sent someone to call Lu Ji, who was still serving in the official office, to the Taishou Mansion, and without saying a word, he gave Lu Ji the drawing that Zhou Tai gave him to see.

The Lu family can be said to be the largest shipbuilding family in the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Kang is old and rarely responsible for the family business, and Lu Ji, who is about to reach the age of establishment, has naturally become a good hand in shipbuilding planning.

And even if he is a good hand, in the face of this craftsmanship that transcends the times, he still looks at it with sorrow for nearly an hour.

"Dare to ask how Lord Taishou got this drawing, and why is it only half of it?"

Lu Ji raised his head slightly, looked at Gao Yun and asked.

"Oops, I said public discipline. You still have the heart to ask me where I got it, I'll tell you so, this is what Youping and they salvaged from the river, and half of it is in the hands of the brocade thief Gan Xingba! ”

Gao Yun walked to Lu Ji's side, ignoring Lu Ji's surprise, and continued to ask, "Can Brother Gongji restore this picture?" ”

"It's hard, it's hard." Lu Ji rubbed his forehead and said, "There is no doubt that this drawing is the shipbuilding drawing, and this kind of shipbuilding plan is unheard of." I don't know what this painting is? ”

Seeing Lu Ji pointing to the keel, Gao Yun did not hesitate, and immediately turned over his poor shipbuilding knowledge in his previous life before replying: "The name of this thing is called keel, if I guess correctly, it is a longitudinal member that connects the bow column and the stern column in the center of the base of the hull, and it is not difficult to see from the picture that it is located at the bottom of the ship." ”

He pointed to the horizontal stake above the keel, and said: "The object should be the rib of the ship, and like the human body, it is distributed horizontally on the keel, and it is also used to consolidate the role of the hull." ”

Gao Yun said here, the drawings had been stopped abruptly, and some other drainage acceleration equipment couldn't be said, so he could only tell Lu Ji what he knew.

Keel, ship ribs?

Lu Ji rubbed his head and thought for a while, then said: "I think my Lu family has been building ships for a hundred years, and most of them are small boats, and most of them are Monga, and all they ask for is that they can withstand the wind and waves on the river, and the lower draft."

I have also built a building ship, the amount of work is huge, but you should also understand that the bigger the ship, the more difficult it is to stabilize the problem, in terms of the hull we choose the whole wood, but where in the world is there such a big whole wood at all? Most of them are fixed and repaired repeatedly, so that they can barely withstand the wind and waves on the river. ”

Lu Ji seemed to be talking about the bitter history of their family's shipbuilding, and his face was particularly solemn, "In the past, shipbuilding, because the wind and waves on the river were relatively small, all we sought was to reduce the weight of the hull, reduce the draft level, and save wood, but it was not until today that I saw the keel and realized that my subordinates understood that if they could build a boat according to this map in the future, it would definitely develop into a new field." ”

"What field?" Gao Yun subconsciously asked.

"The hull is heavier, stronger, and has a larger carrying capacity, and it can withstand wind and waves better than previous building ships."

Lu Ji's eyes lit up after he finished speaking, and he said, "So my lord, with the skills of my subordinates, I can't restore the ship diagram at all." If you want to open up your territory farther away and conquer the sea, please find Gan Xingba quickly and retrieve the drawings of the other half. My Lu family will definitely cooperate fully! ”

"What?" Gao Yun's face was even more excited, and he asked Lu Ji: "Gongji said that if this ship can be completed, it can enter the vast sea?" ”

When Lu Ji heard this, he hurriedly got up and bowed, and said solemnly: "Although the performance is not talented, if there are all the drawings, it will be able to help Taishou achieve the immortal merit of entering the sea!" ”

...

Lu Ji left, still with half of the ship-making diagram, Gao Yun was at ease at all, even if Gan Ning asked for the other half of the diagram early in the future, he would give it all to the Lu family, in fact, he was ready to temporarily give all the cake of building a big ship to the Lu family.

In fact, Gao Yun has a certain understanding of the building ships of the Three Kingdoms era, Dongwu is the most prosperous, mostly more than five floors, can carry 3,000 soldiers, but because the center of gravity is unstable, the floors are too high, and they can only gallop in the inland river.

It is said that when Gao Yun got this keel shipbuilding map, he also had the slightest extravagant hope for entering the sea, even if he couldn't enter the sea, he believed that he could become the backbone of the naval army in the future.

But now, the shipbuilding tycoon Lu Jia has confirmed his conjecture. Into the sea... It's too wonderful to think about, the most unused resource in this era should be the sea, whether it's the spices of South Asia, or the wealth of the North and South American continents, it's all desirable to think about.

Although these are a little too far to think about now, sailing is not enough only to have a ship, whether or not to sail such a long distance is also a long time to experiment. But Gao Yun was at least sure that he could definitely bring Yizhou into the arms of the Central Plains earlier, without waiting for Wei Wen or 208 AD.

With a creak, the sound of the door being pushed open has brought Gao Yun back to reality, although he wants to be a hero of the famous clan, but when he sees Guo Jia Youheng coming together, he knows that he has to deal with the things in front of him first.

"What is the joy of this?" Guo Jia asked tentatively, when he first came, he bumped into Lu Ji with a happy face, and when he saw that he came out of Gao Yun's study, he also had a guess.

"Oh, nothing. I talked to Gongji about shipbuilding, and there was some progress. ”

Gao Yun didn't hide it, and asked the two, "Fengxiao, is there anything wrong with Zhengping?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, and said: "The land problem of those families has almost been solved, and we have distributed those land deeds to the Lu He family, just waiting for the two to sign." ”

"Will Ji Ninggong and He Bo really agree?"

"Zi sigh rest assured, I will definitely agree." You Heng laughed for a while, "The two of them are also smart people, the way of nature is something that can't be escaped, since you can't escape, you have to accept it, otherwise what else will you use to compete with your opponent?" Besides, Gong Du's thunderous methods on the street have already made all the families fearful, and they are afraid that they are now eager to let Lu Kang and He Fu accept this land deed. ”

"Isn't it a little too radical?" Gao Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Not radical, not aggressive." You Heng shook his head, "These are all as they should be, if you don't use thunder methods to deter those small families who are eager to start, they will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and at this time, there will be endless troubles." ”

As soon as You Heng said it, Gao Yun glanced at him, Gao Yun had already discovered Your Heng's growth, and the wind and rain in the past half a month have made the arrogant and uninhibited madman gradually become a well-rounded person.

"One more thing." Guo Jia said: "Youping and Guan Hai are already selecting candidates, and Ah Wei is also going to help, I believe that soon General Gao's trapped camp will reappear in the world." ”
