Chapter 41 - Models

"It's not right for you to do that!"

"Hey...... Old man Li, what do you say is used to fill the gap in the middle of this drawing? Or maybe you're just relying on the old and selling the old ......"

The progress of shipbuilding has not been greatly improved, because there are too many gaps left in the drawings drawn according to the shape. Zhang Yun had no other way but to get up early every day and rush to the construction site.

However, as soon as I got closer today, a burst of argument came into my ears again!

"Didn't Ben tell you? You can say your point of view, but there's no need to argue about it! ”

Zhang Yun's familiar voice had just sounded, and the boatwrights immediately stopped arguing and looked back at Zhang Yun in unison.

The young shipwrights had clearly prevailed in the course of the dispute just now. At the moment, all of them have a color on their faces. Among them, some people are a little eager to try, as if they want to persuade Zhang Yun to support themselves!

And Zhang Yun looked at Li Da, who was a little speechless, but waved his hand to stop some young shipwrights who were eager to try. turned to Li Da and said, "Don't you have anything you want to say to my son?" ”

Hearing this, he looked up at Zhang Yun's encouraging smile. The corners of his mouth twitched, and Li Da finally said his opinion that he had been thinking about for several days.

"Childe, after this period of exploration, the villain and others have wasted a lot of precious materials of Childe, but the shipbuilding progress has never been able to make critical progress."

"The villain feels that it can't go on like this, even if the so-called battleship on the drawings is actually built in the end. With this waste of materials, it is already possible to build more than a dozen of the same warships! Why bother? ”

"Therefore, the villain thinks that we might as well build a small ship model first. In this way, a lot of materials will be wasted due to repeated exploration, but it is a small model. The materials that are wasted are not comparable to the materials that are wasted when building a real ship! ”

After Li Da finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Yun deadly, knowing that this was an idea that he had been holding back for a long time. Other people may have this idea, but under the high pressure of these bandits, many people have the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and no one has brought it up for so long......

At this moment, Zhang Yun only felt as if a lightning bolt was passing through his mind, illuminating all the night.

"Why didn't you think of it?" This is the thought that is repeatedly turning in Zhang Yun's heart at this moment.

You must know that there are so many materials wasted in this period of time, although Zhang Yun seems to have nothing to do on the surface. But in fact, I don't know how many times I feel distressed. No matter how much silver you have, it's not such a trick!

Okay! Now I suddenly heard such a suggestion. Zhang Yun really just wanted to slap his head......

……

"Everyone is working hard, and Childe has already made it very clear. We are going to reduce the ship of 1,000 tons to about 1 ton, and we must strictly reduce it in proportion, and we must not mess around......"

Because of his great contributions, Li Da has been promoted to the head of shipbuilding engineering. At this moment, he is supervising the construction site quite strictly with his hands behind his back!

However, as soon as he turned around, the more than 200 shipwrights on the scene all shook their heads collectively......

"I don't know what this old man is so angry about? Ay! If you had taken the lead in making this suggestion at the beginning, where would there be a chance for him to be an old man now? At this moment, in a group of men near the corner, someone suddenly said this.

Hearing this, Yu Wenxiu's eyes darkened. Almost instantly, he lowered his head, Yu Wenxiu didn't want others to see his loss.

In fact, the suggestion of building a model is not only thought of by the triumphant old man Li at the moment. In fact, many people have already thought about it, but for various reasons, no one has dared to mention it. In the end, it was cheaper for this old man Li.

After a while, Yu Wenxiu raised his head again, and a flash of hope flashed in his eyes. "Brothers, take care of one or two, I'm a little anxious!"

Leaving this sentence, Lu Wenxiu threw down the axe and disappeared here in a blink of an eye.

"I heard that you are in a hurry to come to see Ben Gongzi?" Zhang Yun looked at the man in front of him with interest. But my heart moved......

Originally, he promoted Old Man Li and even gave a huge reward of two hundred taels of silver, just to arouse the enthusiasm of this group of shipwrights.

Otherwise, they are all as lifeless as before, and no one dares to say anything even if they know something. I really can't do anything about them.

But now, sure enough, the two hundred taels of silver in front of him, as well as the arrogance of Old Man Li. It finally worked, and someone couldn't sit still!

To be honest, if you say that you are drawing a drawing based on the physical appearance, you are exalting yourself.

Because I only knew that the battleship had two or three decks, and on each deck was a row of guns. and sail battleships, which basically used soft sails. In addition, not to mention the specific size of the inside of the battleship, even for the specific shape of the battleship, Zhang Yun only knew that it was dozens of meters long......

In this way, the kind of drawings that you draw can be used for viewing at best, if these experienced craftsmen do not stand up to support themselves. Sincerely build your own ship. Then I want to really build a battleship that can be used in real combat. It's just a dream!

Just when Zhang Yun was turning all kinds of thoughts, Yu Wenxiu, who had gone through many twists and turns to see Zhang Yun, finally mustered up the courage to open his mouth.

"Childe sees thousands of miles, and the villain does have something to say to Childe. First of all, there is the question of what materials should be used to maintain the shell of the battleship. There is a fundamental difference between the villain and Li Tou! ”

Li Tou thinks that copper oil can be used for maintenance, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, all kinds of ships sailing on the sea today use this method to protect their ships. ”

But the villain has an idea, Childe has brought so many rare big logs, obviously he wants to do a big job, in this case, why not increase the cost and wrap all the hulls of the ships with iron. Of course, when it comes to this, the son may have a question, since he wants to clad iron, how to prevent embalming? In this regard, Childe can paint the iron with another layer of lacquer......"

Yu Wenxiu's words reminded Zhang Yun of a long memory. It seems that the ships of modern countries are made of steel. So how do they embalm?

Thinking about this, Zhang Yun said with some meaning: "These ships of this son are just armed merchant ships, and if you wrap them with iron, aren't they going to be used as warships?" In this case, it seems that there is no need for this! ”

"It's strange to believe you!" For Zhang Yun's words, Yu Wenxiu was disdainful!

But on the surface, he had to pretend that he didn't know about it, and instead opened his mouth and tried to persuade him: "The villain and the caravan were fortunate enough to see the warships of the red-haired ghosts once, and their way of fighting seems to be a little different from ours, because they usually fire cannons before they make contact. And our merchant ships generally don't have artillery, and even if they do, there are very few of them that can't play a big role, and it's the gang war that determines the outcome of the war! ”

But the villain saw that there were so many gun emplacements reserved on these ships that Childe was going to build, so the villain boldly guessed that Childe must want to learn from those red-haired ghosts, and the red-haired ghosts' naval warfare methods relied on artillery bombardment. In this way, the villain thinks that it is a good thing to put iron armor on the exterior of the ship! ”

"For example, I am not afraid of the other party throwing a fire pot, nor am I afraid of the attack of the bed crossbow. Naturally, they will not be afraid of the other side's shelling! ”

"It's a good idea to have iron attached to the exterior of the whole ship. But have you ever thought that this will slow down the speed of the ship, and the naval battle will not win others, even if it is a turtle shell on the top? Zhang Yun originally encouraged him to express his opinions, but he didn't expect him to end it at the beginning. So I had to pour a bucket of cold water.

Hearing this, Yu Wenxiu was completely stunned. I stayed there for a while, but I still couldn't figure out how to solve this unsolvable problem!

After waiting for a while, I saw that he still hadn't figured out a solution. Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Okay, some problems are unsolvable in themselves. So you don't have to worry about ......."

Wen Yan comforted him, and Zhang Yun called Guo Zhenzong again and asked him to send Yu Wenxiu back for him. And promote him to be a small leader on the spot and set up a banner!

In this way, I guess I only need to be here in the future. Shipwrights spurred on by this should know what to do.

With those somewhat abstract drawings, perfectly imitating, or independently manufacturing, warships comparable to the seventeenth century in the West, Zhang Yun asked himself if he would be able to rely on himself. But if these experienced shipwrights can speak up, then the possibilities will be infinitely magnified.

There is a saying that the wisdom of working people is infinite, and Zhang Yunshen thinks so. You don't see the rampant Chinese copycats in later generations, and some are even far beyond the original! Doesn't that mean anything?
