The manufacturing machinery of the shipyards on both sides of Guangzhou and Quanzhou are all ready-made equipment that Li Hao began to produce in Tanzhou, and the technology of scissor sailing ships has long been familiar with the shipbuilding base on the river in Tanzhou. As soon as the Southern Shipyard was established, as soon as the manpower on both sides was in place, they could immediately produce these things, and they can now produce two or three ships a month in one shipyard.

Modern shipyards in the 21st century use ready-made materials to make such a "small sampan" in five days or less. But this is not the modern era, and the speed is already very impressive, although a large number of people are used, but the productivity of the use of production tools and assembly line operations has indeed increased a lot.

The shipyards on both sides began to produce such scissor sailboats before the funds were fully funded, and by the time the Far East Trading Company was founded, the speed on this side had become even faster. So when Li Hao and the others came to take a look, they could see nearly 100 of these ships in the two shipyards.

"Quick! This ship is so fast, it's almost like flying! In the future, this kind of ship can be used to travel between Quanzhou Port and Guangzhou Prefecture, and the time can be half of that of before. The same goes to Ryukyu and the South Seas, which are much faster than those Hu people's sea boats, and the speed of going back and forth in the future is also much faster. ”

Coupled with a sextant and telescope, as well as Li Hao's astrological technique in exchange for the system, this made it more convenient for these ships to sail at sea. At the bow of the ship, the sailor Han Long said this sentence countless times along the way, looking excited.

Li Hao's ears sounded cocooned when he heard this, what is the configuration of this clipping boat, can Li Hao, as the designer, not know? Li Ke on the side feels similar, but this guy doesn't look good now, and he feels like he is about to vomit at any time.

Hainan is still different from the river, Li Ke took a boat to cross the river in Tanzhou, and swam in the 800-mile Dongting. But that's not HNA, the feeling of HNA is completely different from the river, here is boundless, the waves are high, and it is easy to get seasick.

"The boat is a little faster, and seasickness is normal. Just get used to it, and you won't feel seasick. Glancing at Li Ke who wanted to vomit with disdain, Han Long said in a loud voice. He didn't know Li Ke's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to despise Li Ke so much.

Fortunately, Li Ke didn't care about this, and of course Li Hao was on his side. This Han Long, although he made a serious appearance with a straight face at any time, he couldn't hide his age. This guy is only nineteen years old, a very young sailor, and he will always have a bit of a competitive mentality.

After all, he became a boatswain at the age of nineteen, and it was difficult to convince the public if he was not serious, especially this kind of person who begged for a living at sea. Everyone is playing with their lives, and whoever plays well is the boss.

Li Hao didn't believe it when he first saw him, a thin big boy, it felt as if he could lift him up with one hand. How can you make so many old people who are older than him and have more seniority than him angry? You must know that Han Long is very famous in Guangzhou Port.

When the Far East Trading Company was forming a fleet, this guy was recruited by someone here, and then brought to Quanzhou Mansion for an interview with Li Hao. All the management here have to let Li Hao look at it after they are found, and they have to make another inspection to decide their position.

Han Long, who was interviewing, saw Li Hao's suspicious eyes, didn't say a word, and spat on the palm of his hand. Running towards the mainmast in the middle of the hull where he was sitting, he climbed to the top of the mast with both hands and legs. That's better than a wild monkey climbing a tree!

Later, Li Hao learned that this guy's nickname was actually "Drill Sky Monkey". And despite his youth, this guy has been begging for a life at sea for several years, and has even been to the Persian Gulf side. After knowing this, Li Hao immediately admitted him, and took him with him for special training.

Now there are not many people who can take Li Hao with him to train in person, and even those students of Li Hao are only studying in Li Hao's school. Then collectively referred to as Li Hao's students, after graduation, follow Li Hao to do things, and there are not many people who can train Li Hao.

Generally, only people with very good performance have the opportunity to learn from Li Hao's side for a period of time, and once such a person leaves Li Hao's side, he will immediately be responsible for a large part of the work, and then whether it is salary or promotion, it is very fast.

"It's okay! He can hold on. You operate the boat as fast as it can, and we'll just go around the sea. Li glanced at Li Ke and replied with a smile. This guy can still hold on, and it's not bad for him to experience this feeling.

Li Ke has a good personality, and he will not worry about this kind of thing anymore. However, to Li Hao's surprise, although Han Long gave full play to the performance of this boat, until he went ashore, Li Ke did not spit it out, which made Li Hao a little surprised, but he didn't have time to take care of this now.

"You have to take good care of the performance of this ship, and you should also pay attention to the weapons on board. Then write down all these things, and if there are any things that are wrong, you should immediately mention them to the craftsmen and masters, so that they can improve them. After the New Year, you will have to go to the sea, and the road ahead is difficult, so you must be careful. ”

Through the operation of this ship, Li Liang could see that Han Long's understanding of the ship was excellent. After all, Li Hao made a model, and he didn't know which sail to hang and how to adjust the angle when the wind was blowing.

Moreover, although Li Hao's students and craftsmen knew how to make it, they didn't know how to operate this kind of thing that was relatively new to them. It was completely touched by Han Long, and he just figured it out and drove the boat very well.

Han Long was obviously very satisfied with the ship, and the more he operated it, the more excited he became, and he drove the ship fast. "In the past, it was only a sand boat fast, where do you know that there is a sky outside the sky, the teacher's this, this scissor boat, is really a treasure on the sea!"

Li Hao smiled slightly when he heard this, although this ship is good, it is not very suitable for being a warship. However, Datang is not in great need of warships now, so he has a lot of time to learn more experience on the clippers, and then create bigger, better, and faster ships.

Clippers are generally fully equipped sails to achieve high speeds, but they sacrifice headwind performance, which makes them poor when cornering and upwind. In addition, the name of the flying scissor ship is called the flying shear because the bow is slightly higher than the stern when it sails, in order to achieve the purpose of breaking the waves, and the center of gravity of the hull is not in the middle, which is impossible for the warship to do.

These boats have a shallow draft and a low deck from the sea, which reduces the wind surface and facilitates speed. If you want to install the kind of artillery that Li Hao and they are developing now, you can only install it on the upper deck. In this way, only a small number of guns can be loaded, and the more guns are loaded, the heavier the weight, the deeper the draft of the ship, and the speed will inevitably be affected.

In addition, in high sea conditions, because of the low upper deck, the artillery could not fire. Therefore, the guns on the ship were equipped with 3 guns on the left and right, and each gun was specially equipped with a device that could be manually lifted and moved left and right.

This gun is similar to a mortar, with less recoil, does not damage the hull, and the firing range is not too long. But the accuracy and accuracy have improved a lot, and an aiming system specifically for naval warfare has been added, which makes it a little easier for nobies to get started.

Compared with this era of cold weapons, with several long-range guns, this is already in an absolutely advantageous position. And now it also has a telescope made by Li Hao, so that this ship has the ability to find enemies remotely and strike at a distance.

In addition, the ballista and crossbow arrows were also matched on this ship, and these things could be ranked among the advanced weapons at this time, greatly increasing the power of these flying clippers.

While Li Hao was pondering, several cannon shots woke him up. The ship had been raised to full sail to maximum speed, and the sailors were doing some tests of the ship's speed and performance, and the guns were being tested.

Six shots in a round, one hit, and the hit rate is very low. So everything takes time, training needs to be intensified, and the progress of shooting technology requires ammunition and experience to feed out. Now they are only new to artillery, so if they are given enough time to train, progress is predictable.

"Teacher ....." Han Long was obviously not satisfied with this result either, and looked at Li Hao a little embarrassed. It took a lot of time for Li Hao to let his people develop this artillery, whether it was the improvement of gunpowder or the barrel of the gun, it took time.

Li Hao has not officially installed this thing, nor has it been reported to the imperial court, he needs these things to reach enough power before he will report to the imperial court. Otherwise, the consequences are estimated to be the same as those bombs, because the power is insufficient, and Li Er does not pay much attention to it.

"That's a good result, it's not as accurate on shore as it is at sea. You still need time to train a little bit and learn a lot so that you can improve your accuracy. ”

Li Hao was not disappointed with this result, if he was given the operation, he might not be able to hit a shot. So he patted Han Long on the shoulder and comforted him, this student's talent at sea is too high, and Li Hao will be of great use in the future.

"Brother Xian, this long black tube is the artillery you are talking about? But the power is not as powerful as you say, except for the loud noise, the wooden ship in front of it did not rot even a single shot, but shook a few times. ”

Li Ke couldn't care about fainting at this time, he was shocked by the fierce cannon sound, and he looked at the target in front of him. It's just that the cannon is really not very powerful except for the loud noise.

"It's just in the testing phase, and it's good enough to have that power. Thinking about the range of the bow and arrow at this time, and then looking at the range of the fire run, this is a very big improvement. ”

Li Hao rolled his eyes angrily after hearing this, obviously in Li Ke's eyes, the power of the artillery is not enough, at least the target has to be blown to pieces, the bomb has such power, this artillery is still too far behind.
