162, making large steamers
Three days later, Chen Chen redeployed the work of Dongshui, and now that the government is harmonious, everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and life is on the right track, it is time to shift the focus to army building and weapons building. Δ(viii)(1)Chinese Ω Net*.┡81.
The opponent he will face in the future is an overseas opponent, and he doesn't know much about the overseas situation, so he wants to explore, but as long as there is a steam engine in hand, then he should be able to cope with the past, after all, the steam engine is also relatively advanced, not to mention that his own steam engine is also a combination of the experience of his predecessors and modern science and technology, and there is no problem at all.
In terms of the army, according to His Majesty's order, the 6th Army has been greatly reduced, on the contrary, the navy and air force have been quickly expanded, and as the factory has produced many Airbuses, the requirements for the air force have become more stringent and increased, so these are the top priorities of the construction work.
Now that there was a steam engine, it was time to play a positive role, so Chen Chen ordered people to start building large ships.
The newly built ships were made of steel, and at the same time, modeled after the size of modern ships, they were equipped with spears and cannons to increase the strength of external attacks.
Chen Chen took out the drawings brought out from the ruins of the high priest and handed them to the shipbuilders in Dongshui and said, "This time I plan to build a new ship, this is the drawing, I hope you will study it carefully, and we will start building a new ship." ”
Compared with the previous ships, the design of this drawing is more exquisite, whether it is the structure or size or a variety of machines, it is very complicated.
"Your Majesty, the difficulty of this drawing is beyond our expectations, we are really difficult to start, please give us a little guidance." Although everyone was fascinated by the intricacy of the drawings, the difficulty of the drawings also gave them a headache.
Chen Chen smiled slightly: "This is natural, because some structures are completely unattainable with the knowledge you have, so when making the first ship, I will work with you, and by the way, we will communicate with each other, and it will be much easier to make the second and third ships in the future." ”
Everyone heard that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to make it with them, and His Majesty the Emperor of Dongshui was a myth in the hearts of the whole people, whether it was the handicrafts he made or the weapons he made or the ships, none of them were superior, if they could get the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor today, and learned new technologies, then it would be very helpful for their future exhibitions, not to mention that this group of people is also obsessed with shipbuilding, and their enthusiasm for learning shipbuilding technology is no less than the attraction of a rotten egg to flies.
In the first few days, the master worker and Chen Chen made a model out of wooden planks, first selecting good wood for the hull of the boat, then treating the wood so that it can twist and turn, and finally carrying out the final assembly and manufacturing.
The production of this ship model took more than a month, so the manufacture of this ship is estimated to take even longer, and everyone was attracted by Chen Chen's advanced technical concepts.
In this era, the workers made the ship, the bow orientation was almost a square, in order to facilitate the cargo, and at the same time, in order to prevent leakage, the bottom of the ship was made of a lot of wood, and the bottom of the ship did not have a cabin, or although there was a cabin, the capacity of the cabin was very small, and the bottom of the ship was almost a flat bottom. This way of making a boat not only wastes wood, but also does not help the boat to break the waves in the water.
Chen Chen has now changed this practice, bringing modern shipbuilding concepts and models to everyone, the bottom of the ship can be made into a cabin, not only can be drafted, but also can be stored cargo, and the bow is a more sharp shape, which is more convenient for the boat to row.
"Your Majesty, this model is complicated, so isn't this ship even more complicated." A worker's master looked at the model of the ship that had been formed, couldn't help but be stunned, and said to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why does the master feel that the technology is too complicated, can't you make it?" ”
When the master worker heard Chen Chen's meaning and tone, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you just made a model of the ship with us, so we have also mastered some related technologies, but the minister thinks that it will cost a lot of financial and material resources to build this ship, and I'm afraid it's not worth it." ”
"It's worth it later, although it is more economical to make that kind of boat, but its quality is difficult to withstand the squeeze of strong winds and waves, at most it will be scrapped after one use, at most a disposable item, and then you have to make a new boat, rather than making a boat many times, it is better to spend a lot of effort to get it in place." Chen Chen patiently explained to the master worker that it was really difficult for a boat made of wood to withstand strong winds and waves, and he knew this better.
The person in charge immediately bowed his head and said to Chen Chen: "It's Your Majesty, the minister remembers, the minister is short-sighted, lonely and unheard, Your Majesty's far-sighted and admired five-body throw to the ground, and it must be made in accordance with Your Majesty's requirements." ”
"Hmm." Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction: "You make the general framework first, and then I will come over for further guidance." ”
After all, some small components are also very complex and need to be done by yourself. For example, if a steam engine is equipped on a ship, then the size, power, and mass of the steam engine must be carefully calculated, and these workers and masters cannot do it at all.
After commending everyone, Chen Chen returned to Kyoto, and now the shipbuilding work and weapons are in full swing, this is a matter of time, and it is impossible to pull out the seedlings to help grow, so take this opportunity, Chen Chen plans to make some other tools.
Now the roads all over the country have been opened, but the means of transportation are really scarce, the traffic throughout the country is mainly carried out by the carriage, thanks to the smooth cement pavement, the degree of the carriage has increased a lot compared with before, but the truth is the animal power, the degree is still a little slow in the end, if the future enters the period of high development, then such a means of transportation is simply not in line with the needs of the society, so we must invest a lot of energy in the traffic from now on.
Chen Chen plans to solve personal problems first and make it easier for people to go out, so he plans to make bicycles first.
After all, the production technology of the bicycle is relatively simple, and the production price and production time of the bicycle are also relatively affordable. After manufacturing, the sales price of the bicycle will be low, which is more in line with the needs of the people and the basic national conditions of the country at this stage. (To be continued.) )
