However, Lin Sen's own plan, when it came to these old boatmen, was not fully approved.

They basically agreed with the structure of the old lock boat, but the additional floating plate was unanimously opposed by them.

It's not that these things are bad, but as Lin Sen thought, they can completely help stabilize the hull and reduce the possibility of capsizing.

But since Lin Sen's positioning of this new ship is a dual-purpose warship and a merchant ship, whether it is loading cargo or transporting more troops, it is necessary to let this big guy dock by himself, and it will be very difficult to dock with two more floating plates like wings.

Moreover, in naval warfare at this time, the main combat method must be inseparable from collision, and broadside warfare, and even the main attack method of most warships.

In this way, the two floating boards will also become a great weakness, and may even cause the whole to overturn because of some obstacles.

Lin Sen pondered for a while, but decided to stick to this design, of course, to make some changes, to change the original simple floating plate into a subhull, and to make the whole warship into a real trimaran style.

With only two additional reinforcing beams across the hull, you can place two smaller hull-style floating plates parallel to the whole ship, forming a III. that is basically flush in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Whichever side of the ship is docked, just let the pontoons go close to the dock, and the goods and personnel can be transported to the main hull through the two beams.

Of course, these two large floating boards cannot be made of balsa wood alone, and they must also have some reinforcing structures to ensure that they have sufficient strength.

This way, they don't become a weak point when facing a collision. And in the broadside battle, they become a natural buffer zone.

The enemy can't jump directly to the main hull, so he can only go to the floating board first, and if he wants to attack the main body and start a melee fight, he can only come through the two beams, and defending the two beams is obviously much more convenient than defending the entire side of the ship.

In addition, the side of the main ship will be a cut higher, which can be used as a battlement, which will be very convenient when defending.

This is still not taking into account the many big killer weapons placed on the ship, and if you get these guys out, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the enemy to get close, and most of them can only be beaten passively.

Of course, in order to house these big killers, this ship will be much larger than the sea ships that can be seen on weekdays, and for the convenience of control, Lin Sen also used his remaining physical knowledge to help design many devices of different sizes, which will further simplify the control and save more effort.

Thanks to Linsen and the plant transformation system in hand, we can use those timbers that should be extremely expensive unscrupulously, in order to build this future flagship to the fullest.

However, in the future, such new ships will definitely not be so complicated when they are equipped with a large number of them, only the main body can be retained, and the design of the trimaran will not be continued, and even the size will inevitably be smaller than the current flagship.

Because it consumes too many materials and the engineering difficulty is too high, it directly greatly reduces the efficiency of shipbuilding, and it is not very cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

However, as a test ship type, it also undertakes the role of solving all technical problems at one time, increasing technical reserves, etc., so that complex ones can be made, and it will be much more convenient to do some structural simplification in the future.

As for the installation of those weapons of the big killer level, they must be put to the end, and there is reserved space for them on the ship, and those big guys will hide in the hull on weekdays, disguised as ordinary merchant ships.

Only when it goes out to the open sea will those guys with bad intentions can have a good look at the sharpness of its minions.

After all, it is still a private merchant ship in name, and it must be said that it can only be done, or it will seem that he is a little unscrupulous as a swaggering captain.

However, the institutions involved in these guys are relatively complicated, and they still have to wait for those students of their own families who came with the caravan to come and take charge of this aspect.

Their cognition of mathematics and physics should be said to be ahead of this era, and there are often wonderful ideas germinating, and Lin Sen is now just giving them an opportunity and platform to practice.

Of course, it is also out of the need for secrecy, what is the combat power of this future flagship, how many big killing weapons there are, their respective power and range, and the location of the layout, etc., all need to be avoided from any potential enemy as much as possible.

Compared with those boatmen, it is natural that these young farmers of their own families are more trustworthy.

After discussing back and forth a few times, the ship type is basically settled, these old shipwrights are more familiar with each other, and they have all heard each other's names, what is their level, and which piece is better at it.

Lin Sen, a guy who is not a half-ass, can retire for the time being, and if there is a problem, people can go to him again.

As for the safety of this relatively remote shipyard, there is no need to worry, there are some special forces members guarding here, and small-scale invasions, or covetous eyes, can definitely be blocked from the outside.

Lin Sen's military camp is also quite close to this side, and there are really people who are attacking on a large scale, and they have time to come and support.

Besides, it's unrealistic to hide from them from such a big movement, so the safety here is still relatively guaranteed, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen such a shipyard to house those shipbuilders.

However, just in case, after Lin Sen went back, he still arranged for a team of people to come over every day to inspect it, just nominally to come out to practice for a lap.

In fact, the reason why Lin Sen was allowed to take these thousand elite soldiers south was to take this situation into account, or that the local government soldiers were always not so reassuring.

Lin Sen's side is basically on the right track, everything seems to be making great strides towards the good side, and the only ones who can be worried are those who have shown indifference and even hostility at the beginning.

It's not that they're too noisy, on the contrary, it's precisely because they've been too quiet lately that Lin Sen feels a little wrong.

When those soldiers first went to Guangfu to take shifts, they were also attacked by the armed forces of unknown forces, and the other party retreated after losing a dozen lives.

Although everything acted as if nothing had happened afterwards, everyone decided that this was a temptation by the locals.

And now that they seem to have completely disappeared, to say that they will stop and admit it completely, Lin Sen must not believe it.

They didn't even show any intention of bowing their heads on their faces, so Lin Sen was worried that they must have some kind of tricks waiting for them.

Especially on their own side, which is the pillar of the foreign faction's armed forces, it is a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

Therefore, during this period of time, Lin Sen and his subordinates did not dare to take it lightly at all.
