The steam engine is there, and the loom is almost there. As for Li Hang, what he wants most is a big ship. Nowadays, there is really no shortage of wood in the shipyard, but the keel is lacking, and now that the keel is complete, they are ready to start work.

Li Hang stood aside and looked at the design drawing, the design drawing was good, the draft was also very deep, and the carrying capacity of the ship at this time was very large. If it becomes a cargo ship, it is enough to get a lot of cargo.

As for the modification of the first task now, of course, it is to transform this galleys into gunboats, although it will reduce the number of artillery arrangements, but this is enough. Such a scale is no longer something that the warships of this era can withstand. In one-to-one or even one-to-many situations, it can beat the other party into a sieve as long as it is guaranteed not to be close.

This kind of warship is awesome. The compartment below the waterline is then enlarged to form a watertight compartment that can be sealed. It's hard for the ship to even sink. If you were to count it, this kind of ship would be standard in the future.

Li Hang inspected these warships with great satisfaction. Refit has already begun on the top of these ships. There was a bunch of openings where the artillery needed to be installed. The iron sheet that needs to be installed is also ready. If you count the watertight compartment modification at this time, the installation of this ship is actually a pilot experimental version. Verify the effect of the watertight compartment, plus verify the hull structure, if it really works, then enlarge it to make the design of that kind of big ship.

Although there is a certain degree of adjustment, but this does not affect the specific design, these things have to be done, although at this time relying on the wooden plank can not do 100% of the watertight compartment effect like a steel structure, but as long as there is enough time, it can be done unsinkable. Moreover, such warships must have ships willing to block their guns. That's almost invincible.

"How long will it take?" Li Hang is more concerned about this. After all, for him, when will this thing be done, and when will he be able to develop a real merchant ship.

"The modification can be completed in about three months, and the adult's artillery should be able to arrive by then." The craftsman licked his lips excitedly.

Li Hang's apprentice had explained these things to them, and they all understood the role and recoil of the artillery. Otherwise, you won't be able to make a qualified design.

It is precisely because of this that they know that this is almost a sharp weapon for attacking the city.

This kind of thing can easily bomb the enemy, and when the time comes, it can bombard the enemy's walls that they think are strong. It can destroy their defense line in one go, and in the same way, as long as the wall collapses, it can destroy the opponent's psychological defense, so that it can crush the opponent without even any action.

In a war, many times it is about morale, and if the morale collapses, you will have more than 10,000 people, or you may be chased around by several people.

But now the large number of drafts they have calculated has made Li Hang a little impressed.

They use the simplest way to solve these problems. That's the way of left-right symmetry to solve the problem of balance and center of gravity. And there are enough watertight compartments that I am afraid that these things will become unsinkable warships.

"You work hard for a while, first refit this ship, as long as it is done, then everything is easy to say."

At this time, it was not yet possible to use large steel plates to make a boat, and it was the limit to make a wood-clad iron boat.

But even so. It's already remarkable. Wait until the technology matures. Sooner or later, the various materials inside these ships can be replaced with iron.

This time has been a lot of good news, at least after Zhao Feilong has survived the Turks, these people will begin to solve their own internal problems. The goal of these people is to pacify those families, to put it bluntly, it is still a group between several families to keep warm with each other, and everyone is holding together to prevent the other party from annexing themselves. But now they're cleaning up. "What do you mean by the families who are going to join us now?"

At this time, Ying Yun was also very curious. Because all he sees now is that these people are now starting to stammer themselves.

"They're coming for you. Planning to take a stake? Li Hang was a little surprised. Because now the only thing that is open to the outside world is this printing workshop. What about external investment. But now that's it, those families have been found.

In a word, do you have shares if I have money?

It's an attitude, it's a side, and you can't see it anymore. That's a blind man, and this kid came here to show off.

After all, this is a thing worth showing off, because at this time, these families are like them, which means that there are fewer people who support his second uncle. That's why he's so excited about you. This was simply more exciting than hearing about the defeat of the Turks. As long as he can grasp this power, he can easily sit in the position of the future prince. And at this time, help Li Hangla, more people and more money.

"Yes! It just so happens that I also have a careful mind, and I don't have a lot of money like this. Li Hang smiled, although there was no way to engage in shipping at this time, the caravan on land had already been launched. The Chamber of Commerce, which started last time, is aimed at this matter.

"Going to start cleaning up the bandit road rage?" Ying Yun blinked. This is not a trivial matter, and at this time it is impossible to say that it is impossible to clean up bandit road rage without saying hello.

Nodding, Li Hang looked at him very seriously. "At this time, the new army was in high power. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity. Let's start with these people joining our construction team. In this way, many people are recruited together in advance, and it is convenient to manage them in a centralized manner, so as not to let them make trouble, so that they can be managed well in advance, and it will also be convenient for us to get through the drought. With the exception of a very few people, not everyone wants to be a prisoner for generations. "If the thieves are caught in this year, it will be the result of the sidelines, and if they are really caught, they will be punished.

It can be said that the end is very bleak.

Li Hang is ready to do it now, of course, he has to say hello in advance. Anyway, it won't be able to do this. If anyone engages in any more officials and bandits, and whoever raises these bandits privately, he can directly kill them.

"Well, at least at this time, you can still let them eat dogs. Let those private soldiers of Buddhism and Taoism go to suppress bandits and make meritorious contributions. Otherwise, it will be treated as a rebellion. Ying Yun also sneered, those bald donkeys deceived people too much, do you really think you won't deal with them? Let them do it themselves, if they still want to rebel. Then just catch them all. Now it's battle-tested. He no longer had any doubts about the combat effectiveness of this army. Even when it rains, the bayonets on them are not fun, and these muskets can be used as spears even if they can't be fired. The willpower of those soldiers is not comparable to ordinary people.
