"Two or three thousand people? Really? Ah Hai thought it was incredible, even a little unbelievable. He seems to have seen the official ship a few times, but it doesn't seem to be so exaggerated, right?

In fact, it was really Zhu Zilong's doppelganger who exaggerated and bragged about confusing the era.

It is impossible for a wooden structure to accommodate 10,000 people, and even the largest aircraft carrier in the 21st century will have a crew of only a few thousand. People are to eat, drink, and sleep, not to put them on and be done.

It is estimated that only the Noah's Ark in the Western Bible story is possible!

More than 3,000 years ago, King Wu of Zhou allied with 800 princes, led 45,000 soldiers, and used 47 large ships to cross the Yellow River from Mengjin (now Mengjin County, Henan), and finally overthrew the corrupt rule of King Yin.

The first recorded water battle in Chinese history took place in the summer of 549 BC. The three wings include large wings, middle wings, and small wings, and are the main warships. The large wing is 23 meters long and 3.5 meters wide, and can carry more than 90 officers and oarsmen. The weapons in the ship include 32 crossbows, 3,300 arrows, and 32 pairs of armor.

After that, China's shipbuilding industry developed rapidly.

The scale of the Han Dynasty's naval army was even larger, and the warships were more complete. At that time, there were both huge buildings with 4 cabins and boats with less than 200 hus. In the famous Battle of Chibi, thousands of ships were used by both sides, but each ship could only seat a few hundred people.

Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty built a "five-toothed" ship, with 5 floors, more than 100 feet (about 29.5 meters) high, able to accommodate 800 soldiers, with 6 shooting rods, 50 feet (about 14.76 meters) high, to smash enemy ships.

The sea falcon ships of the Tang Dynasty were created in imitation of seabirds, with floating plates on both sides, which had good stability to meet the requirements of sea warfare. The Tang Dynasty even invented the chariot boat (paddle boat)!

At this time, in the Song Dynasty, the car and ship in the war had a great development, the giant combat vehicle made by the master Gao Xuan was 20~30 zhang (about 60~90 meters) long, with 23~24 wheel oars.

But at most, it can only sit about 1,000 people!

The two or three thousand people that Zhu Zilong's doppelganger boasted to Ah Hai actually blew the ship of the Ming Dynasty to the Song Dynasty in advance for a time.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people on the warships has increased exponentially, and they have also been equipped with a variety of attack weapons such as cannons, powder guns, and arrows. Of course, there are also special snap fishing nets!

Among them, Zheng He's treasure ship is the most famous, according to the "History of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's Biography" and "Yingya Shenglan" (Ma Huan) records, Zheng He's sailing treasure ship has a total of 62, the largest is 148 meters long, 60 meters wide, is the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time. The ship has four layers, the nine masts on the ship can hang twelve sails, the anchor weighs several thousand catties, and it takes two or three hundred people to set sail.

At the same time, the Columbus fleet in the Atlantic Ocean consisted of only three sailing ships, and the largest, the Santa Maria, was only 100 tons, and the tonnage was only one percent of Zheng He's treasure ship.

The modern Chinese in the 21st century have studied it thoroughly, and the data can be found on the Internet at will, and Zhu Zigentian dares to blow it like this, also because as long as there are conditions, he can also be imitated.

In these two important aspects of the power propulsion system, Zheng He's treasure ship adopts a unique design. First of all, unlike the segmented soft sails used in European sailing ships at the time, Zheng He's treasure ship used a hard sail structure with a brace on the canopy surface.

Although this type of sail is heavier and more laborious to lift, it has a very high wind efficiency and increases the speed of the boat. And the mast is not set up with a fixed crosswder, which adapts to the sudden change of wind and clouds at sea, and the adjustment and turning of the foot are flexible, and can effectively use the multi-faceted wind.

Later generations, on July 12, 2012, Nanjing, Jiangsu, the main body of the antique Zheng He treasure ship was completed. Invested tens of millions of dollars to imitate the "Zheng He Treasure Boat" of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Zilong was still in college, he was in Nanjing, and he deliberately went to experience it.

As the footsteps approached, Ouyang Feng came over to pick up Zhu Zilong's clone, and after a few words of laughter, he pointed not far away, pointed a little and said: "Brother He, please see, it is the big ship in front of you, the owner's surname is Zheng, and he is a middle-aged man in his thirties." He is also a leading businessman in this area, and when he heard that we are scholars, and there are also big names such as us, he refused to accept money. In the end, I couldn't shirk it, so I barely collected fifty yuan! ”

Zhu Zilong's clone glanced at Ouyang Feng in surprise, and thought, I'm going to go. Only fifty dollars? You're not forcing it, are you? I know that you still have a concern about the local county honor, and the businessmen are not a dish in your hands, is this considered a forcible robbery?

Well, it's hard to say anything about it. Is this a benefit after ganging up? Just like that Ximenqing, who was in Yanggu County before he died, he also ate no matter what. Monopoly industry everywhere?

Zhu Zilong's face was slightly red, but he held on for three seconds, and the festival disappeared again.

When the group walked to the side of the big boat, there was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe waiting by the board, and he was Zheng Yuanwai when he stepped forward to introduce him. Zhu Zilong couldn't help but think, he didn't expect that he was only surnamed Zheng, and he was half a peer with him, and they all believed in it.

After greeting for a while, Zheng Yuanwai let them over half of his body and invited them to get on the boat, "Ladies and gentlemen, please get on the boat quickly." ”

Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked at him as if he didn't want to be reluctant, and thought to himself, could it be that it wasn't Ouyang Feng's family who wanted to take it, but people who took the initiative to give gifts and favors?

Quietly, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger observed this Zheng Yuanwai and his housekeeper and others.

It was found that he was in his thirties, with a three-inch-long beard under his chin, a white face, a belt around his waist, and no cat's eye green emerald gems on it. On the surface, it doesn't look like a super-rich owner!

But with the hint of the Mystery Perception Technique, Zhu Zilong's clone gradually discovered some hidden secrets.

For example, the indigo caftan on people's Taoist clothes has a balanced and delicate color and does not fall into the water, obviously this kind of cloth is not an ordinary cloth clothes. Maybe this material alone is more than all the belongings of ordinary people.

The belt around the waist seems inconspicuous, but it is made of the skin of the pig dragon (crocodile skin). It's not a big deal in modern times, but in ancient times. The crocodile is equivalent to another kind of dragon in legend, and it is very unbeatable, that is, it can catch one that is not seen in the whole village. And there are no people who are willing to catch it, after all, Jiaolong is also a dragon. There is a taboo saying!

The Song Dynasty was not very powerful, but this belt was definitely priceless. It can't be measured by money, and naturally there is no need for any gems and the like to support it!

This is a local tyrant who seems to be low-key on the outside, but in fact he is invisibly pretending, and he is extremely shrewd!

Waited for the boat because the sea was windy. This Zheng Yuanwai directly invited everyone into the inner room to rest first, and asked Ah Hai to hand over to his captain. As soon as he entered the inner room and opened the door of the room, his painting style really frightened Zhu Zilong's clone.

A sense of luxury came to the face, the floor was covered with a Persian carpet (gold-edged and gold-rimmed), a mottled incense burner (decorated with precious stones) was placed in each room in the corner of the door, and the windows were covered by curtains, which were strung with huge pearls......

You're numb, let's not talk about anything else. Do you give these things away, too? Fifty yuan to send a sea ship worth more than 10,000 yuan, it is surprising enough that there is no market. In the bedrooms, the decoration and decoration in each room are only small and worth more than 10,000 yuan.

Giving such a big gift, no matter how you look at it, there is a weird energy!
