There was no steam engine, no engine, and no electric motor.

At this time, most of the ships were sailboats, which were driven forward by the wind.

But due to the coarseness of shipbuilding technology, the lack of innovation of shipbuilders, and the indifference of the imperial court.

As a result, shipbuilding technology has developed slowly.

Since the establishment of Daxu, HNA has slowly emerged, and compared with the past, it has made considerable achievements.

But in Ye Qiange's eyes, it is far from enough.

This trip is very important, and what he wants is to achieve it overnight, once and for all.

If you want to do it, you must do it best, otherwise, it will take a lot of time and manpower to start all over again.

Although there is no guarantee of foolproof, the probability of failure can be minimized, and the outcome is left to God.

"What is this?"

Xu Yichan blinked her eyes, her face did not change, and she didn't care about her momentary negligence.

Ye Qiange smiled and handed her the drawings.

After Xu Yichan took it, she took a closer look.

She reads very slowly, and almost every one of them will be carefully read for a long time, frowning and thinking deeply from time to time.

Gradually, her expression became solemn, and the light in her eyes flickered, as if there was a leap of brilliance.

"You drew it?!"

She had seen his drawings, styles, and brushstrokes unusual, but she still couldn't believe that the ships were made by him!

Ye Qiange smiled and bowed his head slightly.

In order to draw these ship types, he took great pains to draw them, and for this reason, he also consulted relevant books.

There isn't a lot of useful information, but it often brings back memories deep in the mind.

In this way, he drew several ship models intermittently.

Xu Yichan opened her small mouth, and her heart was full of waves.

Before, Ye Qiange told her that he had designed several boat types.

At the time, she didn't take it to heart.

Ship design is a meticulous and delicate job that requires a great deal of professional knowledge.

Ye Qiange's knowledge of ships is well known to her.

He had hardly ever seen a big ship, let alone a ship sailing the seas.

At most, he has seen a flat boat, taken a painting boat, and been on a building boat!

In this way, if he can design ships as if they were made out of nothing, how can he be trusted?

"What do you think of these boats?"

Xu Yichan attaches great importance to professionalism and believes that there is a specialization in the art industry.

She seems to have the same appearance of these ship types, and she has already believed in seven or eight points in her heart.

Gonggong Zhou picked up the drawings and handed them to the shipwright, and Xiang Fei and a few people also approached and looked at them curiously.

"Good, good—good ship!"

"Not just a good ship, but a treasure ship!"

It didn't take long for both the shipwright and Xiang Fei to look bright, and their faces were full of shock and excitement.

They have dealt with ships all their lives, shipwrights build ships, repair ships, sailors drive warships to gallop rivers and seas, and the ship types on the drawings can be seen at a glance.

After complimenting them one after another, they lowered their heads and looked intently at the details.

Ye Qiange's drawings are extremely detailed.

Not only the exterior structure of the ship, but also the internal structure, the height and number of masts, the length and thickness of the keel, and even the cross-joints and positions of the ribs are clearly marked!

The four of them praised each other, and let out exclamations from time to time.

The drawings draw five types of ships, some large and some small, the big ones are dozens of zhang long, like a dock, which can carry tens of thousands of people!

The smaller ones are more than ten zhang long, much larger than most of today's warships.

Of course, the advantage isn't just about size.

It's more about its ingenious construction and design.

It solves the problems that many shipwrights encounter when building ships.

The two shipwrights were fascinated and fixed on the papers.

"It's a subtle place, it looks simple, but it's actually very useful."

"However, in my opinion, this is the most wonderful place, which is very bold, but it undoubtedly solves the problem of the stability of the ship-"

The two of you said a word, discussing in a small voice, and slowly, it turned into a loud emotion.

Ye Qiange didn't think it was wrong, and there was always a smile on his face.

He had expected the admiration of the two veteran shipwrights.

These five types of boats, he combined today's shipbuilding technology with the current level of sailing, specially selected these boats.

Among them were European-style sailing ships, as well as warships of later generations.

For example, the largest of them, Ye Qiange, was copied according to the ship that Zheng He took to the West.

How does this not surprise them?

If the ship on the drawing is built, it is definitely a great leap in the history of shipbuilding!

Xu Yichan listened to all the discussions and praises of several people.

Sure enough, it's true!

He actually designed five models of ships that even shipwrights would exclaim as treasures!

Xu Yichan looked at Ye Qiange steadily, seeing his light appearance, she suddenly had an urge to try her best to understand this person!

What else will you do?

After a long time, several people recovered from the shock.

"Lord Wang, forgive the villain's courage, I don't know who these five types of ships came from, if the prince knows, please be sure to recommend, the person who can design these five types of ships must be the only master in the world today——"

The shipwright named He Ye was full of excitement and his eyes were full of urgency.

After He Ye finished speaking, the remaining three couldn't help but look at it.

The people who can design these five types of boats are by no means idle, they don't want to meet such amazing and brilliant people!

Ye Qiange's face turned red, he pursed his lips, touched his nose, and said with a sneer, "The master can't be called, but he just has a little experience." ”

Another boatmaker called Yuan Ping'an, shook his head, and said solemnly: "The prince is not familiar with the boating art, and it is reasonable to not know the exquisiteness and excellence of these five ship types...... The name of the master is deserved, and there is no boast of it! ”

The relationship between the two is sincere, word by word, very sincere.

Even Xiang Fei beside him also said, "Your Majesty, if these types of ships can be put into practice, my Daxu Sailor will definitely dominate the world, whether it is the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, or the near sea and the sea, they can gallop vertically and horizontally, and even South America, which is thousands of miles away, can be easily reached!" ”

Xu Yichan was moved, "Are these ship types really so useful?" ”

Xiang Fei nodded affirmatively, "Back to Your Majesty, these five types of ships are warships, not merchant ships, and the largest ones can carry twenty or thirty thousand people, far exceeding the capacity of all warships in the world today." ”

"In this way, if you want to sail far and cross the deep sea, it is also a breeze?"

Xu Yichan's eyes flickered, and she didn't know what to think, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook.

Ye Qiange swallowed his saliva, and seeing Xu Yichan's expression, it was clear that he had the idea of attacking the vast and boundless land overseas.

The Empress's ambitions began to sprout again.
