Defeated by the whims of the shipwrights, Zhang Yunna held his breath and quickly returned to his residence. Thinking about it, anyway, there is no specific data for my reference now, so it is better to go and design a real new sail battleship.

Anyway, the so-called sail warships are just to bully those armed merchant ships. Now that he has hundreds of years of knowledge of pirates far beyond his time, can't he beat them himself?

As for whether the design is reasonable? Zhang Yun can't care so much!

For themselves, the biggest use of the sail battleship is speed and firepower, as well as defense. With the technology of the whole ship armor in hand, the defense is naturally needless to say.

Firepower has not yet developed artillery, so naturally it is put aside for the time being. But at this speed, you can do a good job!

In addition to these three, there are other auxiliary functions on the ship. To put it bluntly, it can be developed and improved slowly.

Anyway, there are more than 200 skilled shipwrights under his command, and these common sense questions must be over time. The sail battleship of the future will be better and better!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun desperately recalled the appearance of ships after the shipbuilding technology was very mature in later generations......

Half an hour later, Zhang Yun frowned as he looked at the appearance of the ship drawn from his memory.

In fact, from any point of view, this new drawing. Thanks to the experience of shipbuilding during this time, it is already perfect!

But Zhang Yun faintly felt that something was wrong, so he fell into deep thought on the drawings again.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yun to finally pick up the pen again. The first was to reduce the position of the thirty-two-pounder gun to thirty, as it was shown by the vague memories in his mind. The weight of such a gun will reach two or three tons!

Although, a few years ago, I had improved the steel for casting steel knives. But presumably, the weight will not be reduced much, and naval warfare requires speed, at least to be able to catch up with enemy ships with full sails. And also to take into account the recoil when firing a salvo, the ships of this age were all wooden......

After crossing out some gun emplacements, Zhang Yun suddenly felt that this drawing was much more pleasing to the eye. And because the three-deck deck was changed to a two-deck, it is expected that the weight of the ship will be greatly reduced at that time. In this way, the speed naturally increases.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yun picked up the pen again and eliminated some of the messy settings on the first deck.

With the general direction given by Zhang Yun, and the guidance of the drawings that can be said to have exhausted all of Zhang Yun's mental energy. Plus there was no shortage of materials, so the second experimental battleship was finally launched a few days later......

After some tossing, looking at the small boat on the river, with a tailwind, it was already able to run to four knots. Zhang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that this is a situation wearing iron armor, not to mention that it can beat all the smuggling ships of the Ming Dynasty at this speed. At least enough for it to be used as a battleship.

As for the special ships that went to the merchant ships to collect protection money, because the flying clippers were too famous in later generations, Zhang Yun had imitated them as early as a few years ago. With this kind of ship moving at full speed in a downwind state, it can reach a speed of ten knots, and it is not trivial to collect protection fees!

Next, although from the extent of the expansion of model ships to thousand-ton warships. There are still a lot of questions.

However, all the shipwrights were full of confidence, and under Zhang Yun's order to build a battleship that could be used in actual combat as quickly as possible at all costs, the shipbuilding work finally made substantial progress.

It's a pity that Zhang Yun has to return to Yingtianfu at this time, and there is a group of insatiable wolves staring at him behind him. You can't relax a little!

Not to mention the construction of a thousand-ton battleship, although all the materials are complete, and there is no shortage of craftsmen. But it's still not a short time to drive a warship to the sea to rob.

……

"Childe, the list was released a few days ago, and you ...... high school" Zhang Yun had just stepped into Yingtianfu on his front foot, and Liu Mingguo, who got the news, ran over to report the good news as soon as possible.

Zhang Yun didn't pay attention to his stubble, and he was all hanging! Can you not hit?

Therefore, Zhang Yun instead asked about the actions of the noble class. "During the time that this son was not in Yingtianfu, did those people make any noise?"

Hearing this, Liu Mingguo's eyes rolled, and he knew who Zhang Yun was talking about. So he said with some disdain: "Childe, you didn't take the lead in provoking the conflict, the proportion of shares that should be given to them is as much as it was before, and now it is, what reason do they have to get up and jump!" ”

"Let's go home!" Regarding Liu Mingguo's disapproving attitude, Zhang Yun threw these three words to him. But in my heart, I wondered if I should change to an intelligence officer!

No matter how stupid Zhang Yun is, after all, he comes from the era of the information explosion in later generations, so he knows deeply that an intelligence officer acts with contempt for others. How much damage it will bring to itself.

And Zhang Yun believes that the noble forces that are no longer the same as themselves and are even full of malice will not think of ways to rectify themselves behind their backs. Unless the sun comes out in the west!

Before entering the mansion with a gloomy face all the way, Zhang Yun immediately broke out......

"If you say you're stupid, you're still really stupid, if it weren't for this boy knowing that you haven't made any big progress since this time. Otherwise, Ben Gongzi would have killed you just now! ”

Liu Mingguo's neck shrank when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he just wanted to defend one or two times. Zhang Yun opened his mouth again and roared violently.

"Since you can't do it, then change it. Yang Zhen, from now on, you don't have to follow Ben Gongzi in and out. In the future, you will fully accept his mess! ”

"As for you, Liu Mingguo, for the time being, I will aggravate you, a great talent, to stay by my son's side......"

Yang Zhen glanced at Liu Mingguo, who could be called his old boss, but saw that he looked at Zhang Yun in disbelief at the moment. I can't help but secretly worry about him in my heart!

was afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't say, but fortunately, Liu Mingguo was not stunned for long, and immediately knelt down after replying.

It was only at this time that Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhang Yun lost his temper and turned to leave, he rushed forward and helped Liu Mingguo up: "Liu Tou, you really did something wrong this time." You can't ...... in your heart."

Yang Zhen hadn't finished speaking, but he saw Liu Mingguo turn his head and stare at him. I can't help but be speechless for a while. However, before Yang Zhen could figure out how to continue to persuade, Liu Mingguo opened his mouth faintly.

"Do you know something? Or did you hear something? But why don't you remind Lao Tzu? ”

Liu Mingguo's three questions completely made Yang Zhen stay on the spot, and he knew in his heart that this time the old boss was completely resentful of himself. But I was also aggrieved in my heart, and I still had something to say, but in the end I shook my head.

And seeing this Yang Zhen silently turn around and leave like this, Liu Mingguo's anger reached its peak in an instant. After taking three steps and making two steps, he rushed up and grabbed Yang Zhen's sleeve. He didn't speak, just stared into his eyes.

"I'm telling you, will you listen?" The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yang Zhen threw down this sentence. Without looking back, he turned around and strode away.

"Will you listen?" At this moment, Liu Mingguo kept echoing this sentence in his mind.

Especially when I think of these days, Zhang Yun is not around, and he has completely herded sheep. Although he also sent people to monitor the Wei Mansion, he ignored the other nobles intentionally or unintentionally.

always thought that without the leader of Wei Guogong, the other nobles would not be able to become the climate. But reality slapped itself in the face!

Thinking about this, Liu Mingguo looked at the study where Zhang Yun disappeared last. gritted his teeth and was ruthless......
