Chapter 60 The Wind and Rain Are Coming to Break the Shipbuilding
"Yu'er! I heard that it was your idea to tear down the top two floors of the ship? How can you be so confused! Even if you want to hide your tracks and destroy the ship, then you have to see the land, the sea is as endless as the lake, how can we move forward after the ship is destroyed! ”
Xiang Ji was just about to speak, but was stopped by Yu Zhou, this guy is too stupid, the more he talks, the more confused he becomes, it's better to explain it himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Uncle Xiang, don't blame Brother Yu, in fact, it's all my idea, the boats used in navigation are different from those used in rivers, the taller they are, the more dangerous they are, and the demolition of the shipbuilding above is to prevent risks, anyway, we have fewer people and bigger boats, and only one cabin is enough to shelter."
"Nonsense! Many of the sergeants on this ship have lived by the sea for generations, and many of the shipwrights have been adrift for half their lives. Child, my uncle knows that you are keen and studious, but everyone has a good way, so let the ship's navigation be left to the boatmaster! ”
It is difficult to understand the reason just by talking about it, Yu Zhou dragged a bag of corn, found a wooden block to put on it, and said: "Uncle, look, this wood is our ship, this bag of corn is the sea, the ship is as tall as standing wood, it is easy to overturn in a slight wind, and the upper deck is demolished in order to reduce the height of the ship, so that the wind surface becomes smaller, and it is naturally more stable." ”
"What is the reason, isn't the ship as strong as possible, how can you say that it becomes more reliable when it becomes a half-destroyed ship!"
"Uncle Xiang, that's the truth of water warfare, solid and solid is naturally invincible, but we don't need to fight with people, just want to cross the sea safely."
"I still don't agree! Shipbuilding and boating have already had ancestors who have explored countless experiences, how can you compare with a few words, don't make any more extraneous branches, okay, uncle promised you, wait for the shore, this ship can be tossed by you, I don't care if you dismantle it all! ”
It seems that Xiang Liang is dead and alive without taking some dry goods, Yu Zhou buried the wooden block in half of the corn, and continued: "How does my uncle know that the little nephew doesn't know the way of shipbuilding? Sometimes, the earth has air, the material is beautiful, and the work is coincidental. The material is ingenious, but it is not good, from time to time, and it is not good. ”
Xiang Liang groaned: "These are all wood works, not enough to prove!" ”
"Uncle Xiang, this ship has no keel and no compartment, once it encounters wind and waves, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"What is this?"
"Uncle Xiang has eaten fish?"
"Of course I did!"
"Just like a fish's spine, if the boat is shaped like this, it will have a pointed shape underneath, which will not only make the boat stronger, but also have a deeper draft and be more stable to sail.
I know you still have doubts, Lao Ziyun: The mother of the country can last for a long time, which is the way to be deeply rooted and long-lived.
To put it bluntly, it is a deep-rooted way, when the underwater part exceeds the surface of the water, the ship is like a big tree that is not afraid of wind and rain, so our current towering ship is not only useless but dangerous.
As for the compartment, it is even simpler, use wooden planks to divide the belly of the ship into a number of compartments that are not connected to each other, once it is damaged, it will only be one cabin into the water and will not affect the whole ship, please think twice! ”
Xiang Liang was silent after listening to this, in his opinion, the way of sailing should be as safe as possible with the more floating parts, how can it seem that what Yu Zhou said also has some truth? If the keel is only skeptical, then the compartment has completely opened a different door.
That's right, no one thought that if the ship was divided into cabins, whether it was sailing or fighting, the slightest damage and overturning the ship would never happen again, and the ship would be made in this way, and the naval army would be inherently more durable than others.
If the Lou boat warriors who fought against the Qin people also smashed the hull, then the Great Qin Navy would definitely be subverted, and the new warships could continue to fight, and it was no longer empty talk to be one for ten!
From this point of view, maybe the dragon bone is not unreasonable, Xiang Liangqiang held back his excitement and asked in a deep voice: "Who else have you told this?" ”
Yu Zhou smiled knowingly: "Just mention a few words to Brother Yu, he is also a little rougher, and the little nephew will never talk to anyone in the future!" ”
After hearing this, Xiang Liang gave him a knowing look, and hesitated: "Is it really as serious as you said?" ”
"Uncle Xiang, the little nephew has even taken out the capital to do big things in the future, and he can still deceive you!"
"Good! Then dismantle! Tear down the top two floors! ”
With an order, the sergeants acted together, and soon dismantled the shipbuilding, and Xu Fu, who saw it, jumped to his feet: "Loser, this is made of fine camphor wood, not moth-eaten and not afraid of moisture, only in the Lingnan land of Bajun......"
"Then don't throw it, it's all in the bilge as a counterweight!"
It is said that the children's faces in June, the sea is even more cloudy, just now the sky is still clear, and soon the dark clouds are shrouded as if they can be pierced by the mast, when the children are commanded to hide in the bilge, the lightning of the thickness of the bucket suddenly crosses the ink-like sky, illuminating everyone's face.
The rumbling thunder is like an explosion in the ears, like a giant hand stirring, the roaring waves swing more than a foot high, constantly slapping the side of the ship, people and the sky are indisputable, the wind and the waves are muffled, the sound is gripping and devastating, coupled with the creaking of the building boat, it makes people frightened.
Xu Fu pouted his ass like a mouse, hiding in Tong Lu without any interest, he couldn't take care of him anymore, Yu Zhou hissed and shouted: "Get off the cabin!" Hide in the cabin! The sails are all lowered, and the clutter in the cabin is shrouded in fishing nets! ”
"Sub-period, what am I doing?!"
"Why are you coming up again, it is a great achievement to be optimistic about Tong Lu with Yan Heng, go back quickly!"
As he spoke, the raindrops the size of beans had fallen indiscriminately, hurting on his face, and it was difficult to open his eyes in the wind and rain, and his personal voice was even more pitiful.
"Little Shanzi, take your men to help the boatmen take control of the ship, old fool, let everyone on the deck be tied to their waists with ropes! If you fall into the water, you won't see your body! ”
Yu Zhou said as he held his long sword to stabilize his figure, but at this moment he heard a loud click behind him, and the ship was even more out of control, blown by the wind and waves, and faintly began to spin around.
"In the sub-period, the tail rudder was broken, and several boatmen couldn't dodge and were seriously injured, what should I do!"
It's really a headache, how important it is to be at the helm is self-evident, the tail rudder at this time is not the kind of vertical shaft appearance, the long rough wood is directly connected to the paddle board, known as the boat, the whole length of the twelve zhang wing needs to be controlled by three people, not to mention this building ship!
Xiang Ji tied his shirt to his waist, and shouted naked on his upper body: "I'll go!" ”
"Don't make a fuss! You don't, that thing can't be manipulated by brute force alone, it has to be the most experienced old boatman! ”
Xiang Ji didn't listen, he plunged into the rain, and the voice from afar came back: "Let them teach me!" ”
The gloomy sky and the turbulent sea have become one color, much like the dream that Yu Zhou once had, it was not just the torrential rain that hit his face, it flowed into his mouth with a hint of saltiness, and he even saw a few fish stunned by the waves flying onto the deck.
A few sergeants lowered their sails, but fortunately they had demolished the ship building earlier, otherwise the ship would have capsized as early as the first wave of wind and waves, but there were also inconveniences, and the mast became taller and it was extremely difficult to lower the sails.
At the moment of life and death, how can you still think so much, Yu Zhou still cares, the sword stepped forward and chopped up, this kind of work is very dangerous, once the rope is cut, dozens of pounds of canvas sail poles are smashed down by gravity, and a dodge is broken bones.
Thanks to the perennial sword practice, the middle sail was lowered smoothly, and the bump of the ship seemed to be lighter, Yu Zhou wiped the rain on his face and roared: "Don't be stunned, you go to the front sail, remember to tie the rope!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhou went straight to the back sail, who knew that at this moment, a huge wave was raised, the boat shook violently, Yu Zhou's feet were unstable and fell to the ground, the person had nothing to do, but the sword slid out and was firmly inserted in the female wall.
The women's wall is a protective wooden plank set up on both sides of the hull, intended to peep at the purpose of firing arrows, it can be said to be the outermost side of the ship, Yu Zhou estimated that it was too dangerous to get a sword, and continued to walk to the rear cabin with his bare hands.
Luckily, the backsail was not affected by the ship's building, and everyone worked together to land smoothly, but after a while, the wind and waves became more dangerous, and it became extremely difficult for everyone on the deck to even stand, let alone hide in the cabin.
"With a rope...... One tied to the other...... All tied up! ”
One sentence was blown into countless copies, everyone finally understood what he meant, and tied a knot on their waists, Yu Zhou tied himself, looked up and saw that there was a rear cabin, and walked in with everyone.
"How do you ...... It's also coming! ”
Xiang Ji's muscles skyrocketed, and he struggled to control the tail rudder, and when he saw Yu Zhou and them coming, he actually had time to say hello.
"Don't fight hard...... It's really not good...... Count it, there's only this rudder left, and it will be troublesome to break it again......"
After hearing this, Xiang Ji's eyes became even more excited, and he shook his head full of tide and shouted: "Riding the horse and manoeuvring the boat...... It can gallop the world and turn over the river and the sea...... I am a Chu person, so what am I afraid of! ”
Hearing only a click, Xiang Ji's hand suddenly became fluttering, and he was flashed firmly, almost kneeling on the ground, he smiled awkwardly: "Broken ......"
"Damn!"
