Chapter 403: Modification

No matter what has become over there, Li Hang feels that it has become a normal appearance, as if the war has never come, and now seeing the various scenes full of roads in this place, a group of people are speechless.

Especially the various pieces of wood that came ashore at this time, many people were dumbfounded.

The wood that was bought on a large scale at this time alone can simply drive people crazy.

What's more, now the entry and exit of materials in Donglin Port is simply more than that of Jinling City.

All kinds of things, all kinds of things look varied.

And now look at the second steam engine being built.

Li Hang looked at these huge steam engines, fortunately this is the mouth of the Yellow River, this place will no longer affect the water supply downstream, and now there are a lot of workshops here, and now these steam engines are all driving all kinds of things.

Punches, lathes, pumps.

And all kinds of things are driven by steam engines.

Not to mention anything else, the rest of the places are similar to the current situation, but going to Donglin Port, it is more and more prosperous, because there are more and more machinery in it, and there is a chimney not far away.

At the same time, the transportation of materials here is all about being powerful.

Many people pushed wheelbarrows one by one on those concrete roads, whether it was meat or all kinds of things in sacks, they all wanted to attract attention, but what was even more eye-catching was the sound coming from the high walls at this time.

Not to mention the roar, the sounds in it at this time alone were enough to make them feel strange.

Because there are not only all kinds of metal banging sounds, but also all kinds of other sounds, such as the sound of boiling water, and so on.

But it was in these workshops that the finished armor was dragged out by carts.

The slats that are most needed to make slats are processed one by one, and then sent to the punching workshop to punch holes, and the things that can only be produced in a month are now made in dozens a day.

That's the benefit of technological advancement.

In less than a few months, it would be enough to gather enough weapons and armor to be delivered to Jinling City.

It's just that now the manufacture of this kind of steam engine has begun to be put on the agenda, and now there is no pre-work left on my side, and I can start to make some other things.

For example, looms.

If this kind of thing is placed on weekdays, it should be something that some ordinary families will have, but now once it is made here, you can make such a thing so that many people can use this, and the hand-cranked loom can be made.

But what I have to do is to weave cotton cloth.

The cotton grown has already been harvested for the first time.

Although the application of this cotton is still very low-level. But as long as it can be used properly, there are so many things that can be made from this thing.

Whether it is a cotton coat or a quilt, the application of this cotton is still very extensive, and at this time, the border army collected the wool that was traded in a winter, and at this time the people in the entire fiefdom can wear cotton clothes and cover the quilt, plus the wool wool kneaded into wool, and there are still sweaters in the fief at this time.

It's just that these things can only be redeemed by workshop workers with work points.

Although it is taboo to pay wages to these slave workers, if it is a share of work, then this kind of work will not be counted in the remuneration, and it can be used to pay them benefits.

The more you work, the more benefits you will have, and there will be more benefits.

Li Hang's hands are full of all kinds of good things, all kinds of beef and mutton, this kind of things can be exchanged for labor, which can make them compete to a large extent, and competition can make them more motivated.

This will be more efficient.

However, at this time, Li Hang's attention was not here, but in the workshop.

The blueprints of the shipyard came out. "How? Is there a problem with making such a vessel? ”

Although Li Hang can't understand this design drawing, Li Hang can see this kind of thing, at least this general shape is correct.

This approximate ship type is out. And this ship is not ordinary.

This vessel has watertight compartments.

Although it is not like the various steel productions of later generations, this kind of watertight compartment has a good chance to keep this thing silent as long as there is in this era.

Li Hang glanced at these things, and then picked up the model over there.

This model is very realistic, and more importantly for Li Hang, the ship is a twin-masted sailing ship.

In fact, a very important indicator of the size of the sailboat is the number of masts.

The number of masts is a very important indicator, the more masts on the ship, the larger the ship, because the sails of the ships at this time have to be very large, to be able to make the sails move in all directions, then there needs to be a long enough space, so that the number of masts of a ship proves the size of the ship.

The three-mast is the largest sailing ship, but it is not easy for them to make two masts. If this sailboat could be used, it would be much better than ordinary boats.

"Does this ship produce energy? How much cargo can be loaded into a cargo ship, and if it is a warship, how much artillery can it be equipped with? ”

Li Hang was very curious about this, because if he could really make these large sailing ships at this time, he might be able to make a lot of special things, at least he could use these things to play tricks.

"How's that converted ship going?" That is a political task, but it is given by Emperor Yingwu, this must be completed, and this kind of thing is the highest priority.

"A total of sixteen shooting holes can be opened on both sides of that ship, and after these shooting holes are opened, we can arrange this kind of artillery to go up, but the protection of this kind of ship is not good, if you forcibly change the thickened warehouse wall, it will easily lead to the instability of the center of gravity!" These craftsmen were the first to start learning mathematics, because both design and manufacturing are in great need of mathematical support, and such mathematical knowledge is enough for them to begin to appreciate the benefits of mathematics. And began to study on his own.

"No problem, at this time, we don't need to increase the thickness of the ship's walls to improve our defenses, we just need to cover the top of the ship with iron sheets. This does not add much weight, and it can also effectively prevent rocket attacks, and can also effectively improve defense. "Although there is a risk of rust, this method can still be used on a small number of warships.

After all, this new type of warship is no longer primarily aimed at close combat.
