'Maybe..., you can come back.' Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info', Li Chen's words to Su Xiaoxin's words are not untargeted, nor are they empty words, he moved his mind, wanted to carry out sea trade, planned to build a ship himself, and then sail with Suleiman at that time.

Li Chen was suddenly moved to go to sea, can you not want to? Haimao's profits are huge, and although Li Chen is a half-toned history undergraduate, he still has this kind of common sense.

The profits are big and the risks are big, but he has to take this risk, his business is now spreading, and he earns a lot every day, but he also spends a lot, which is a little higher than the breakeven. Until then, he was able to barely make ends meet, relying on the income of glass. But how long can this income last? I don't know.

In that case, why not meddle in maritime trade? With more money, he will be able to adopt more orphans. And these orphans, all of them are his helpers to turn the Tang Dynasty, who would think that there are many helpers.

In fact, compared to Xufu, since he came to Yangzhou, he has not added people to his family, not because Yangzhou is a paradise on earth and there are no orphans. It's that he doesn't dare to add more people until he has a stable income.

If he can take over some of Suleiman's industries and manpower, he will be able to share in the big pie of maritime trade. When the time comes, not only can more orphans be recruited. He can also let go of his hands and feet, do all kinds of experiments, and try to get all kinds of things out of his mind. When the time comes, Datang may usher in earth-shaking changes.

If this ship is built, it will be the fastest ship in the whole of Datang, as you said. Li Chen was distracted, and Liang Dutou was praised.

'Really? ''If that's all right, definitely.'' Liang Dutou said with certainty, "Maybe you're right." Although the ship is weird. ’

Is this ship built by Li Chen weird? Li Chen felt okay. The total length of this ship reached 18 zhang, narrow in front and wide in the rear, the widest point was about three zhang, and the height was only two zhang.

The length is nothing, this is the maximum length that the Don ship is able to achieve at the moment. It's just that compared to the average Tang ship, this ship is slightly narrower, and the point is, it's too short.

'What's wrong with this ship, but is it just for you to straighten it and get rid of all the superstructure?' Li Chen disdainful, rare and strange. If there is a modern person who sees this ship, he must also agree. Because this ship is just an ordinary Western sailing ship.

'Can this boat, so short, withstand the waves?' Liang Dutou suspected, a higher wave might capsize the ship. Li Chen is really too lazy to answer this kind of question, is it possible to capsize if the boat is hit by any side waves? But he didn't answer directly, his eyes rolled.

'I ask you a question. Li Chen glanced at him, what kind of vision do you have, but he didn't answer Liang Dutou, only asked, "A big boat, the string of the ship is 6 zhang high." There is a small boat tied next to it, the string of the small boat is one foot high, and now the tide is beginning to rise, and every hour is two feet, how long does it take for the small boat string to reach the edge of the big ship? ’

'Ha, you can't bother me with this question. Liang Du high-fived his head, his temperament jumped slightly, otherwise he would not have taken over Li Chen's business. Li Chen ran all over Mingzhou, just this guy rushed to pick up his list, and the other masters heard Li Chen's request, and they all retreated, and some even drove Li Chen away directly, and Li Chen came to spoil their signboard.

How bad? It's very simple, as long as they build a strange ship in the shipyard, it will sink as soon as it goes to sea, and everyone will say that the ship they built is of bad quality and looks weird. Li Chen can completely fight back, saying that he didn't ask for such a thing at the beginning, and they are all messing around.

For such a person, Li Chen can only say, could it be that you did this when you were young? Otherwise, this brain hole will be too big.

'The strings of the big ship are six feet high, and the tide rises two feet every hour, and as long as it is two hours and two quarters, the small boat can touch the big ship. Liang Dutou said confidently, but in exchange for Li Chen's shaking his head and sighing, "You still follow my instructions and build the ship." ’

'What, isn't the answer right?' Liang Dutou was confused, and when he saw that Li Chen didn't dump him, he shouted loudly, "Tell you, don't think that I haven't studied arithmetic." It's two hours and two moments, and you can't go wrong. ’

Wait a minute, did I miscalculate. He was not confident, and pinched his fingers to calculate, "How is it inside, can you take a look?" Li Chen interrupted him to count, he was not satisfied with looking at the appearance now, he wanted to take a look inside, "Okay, now that the keel is arranged, the next step is to arrange the compartment." ’。 Liang Du took Li Chen to climb into the hull.

Li Chen looked at the bottom and could see the compartments layer by layer, that is, the contribution of the Chinese in navigation technology, the famous watertight compartment.

It seems, no, there is something that can be done. Li Chen originally thought that he could provide more advice on the construction of the hull. But in the Tang Dynasty, there seemed to be nothing he could do, and the watertight compartment had long been applied in the Tang Dynasty. However, something came to his mind.

'Why make holes in the hull?' Liang Dutou was very dumbfounded, who doesn't ask the target ship to be sealed, today I met a person who took the initiative to open a hole, this person has a hole in his head. Liang Dutou, who learned the word brain hole without a teacher.

It's not like it's going to be big. Li Chen explained, "You open a hole like this and go down diagonally." If there is water in the cabin, it can flow out on its own. If the waves are really big, they can be blocked. ’

It seems to make sense. Liang Dutou scratched his sparse beard, thinking about whether this would sink the ship, "It seems to make some sense, okay, you are not afraid, just try it." As soon as he gritted his teeth, Liang Dutou agreed, anyway, to build this kind of strange ship, such things have been done, and opening a hole is just a trivial matter.

'Don't worry, it's okay. Li Chen comforted him and assured him that he would be fine. Of course, there is no problem, many modern fishing boats have such a structure, Li Chen has seen it. Besides, even if it doesn't work, it's a big deal.

'Come on, can you do this?' Li Chenbi drew it, he wanted to get two feet for the boat, "This thing..." Liang Dutou hesitated, thought for a while, and agreed, "Alas, I really don't know if it's right or wrong to take your boat." ’

'Please, this building is too high, will it capsize?' Seeing that Liang Dutou was so unconfident, Li Chen cheered him up, he couldn't let him suffer from gains and losses, for fear that he would affect the progress, "Think about that kind of five-tooth warship, is there a taller ship than him?" That kind of warship is going around in the river and river, can it go to sea? ’

'Yes. Liang Du clapped his hands, no wonder he wanted to make the boat so straight, as if there was really no need to make the ship so high.

By the way, what is the answer to your question? Li Chen and Liang Dutou reached a consensus, and they had also seen the boat, so they left temporarily, because he had another appointment tomorrow, and there were important issues to discuss. It's just that before leaving, Liang Dutou, as if he remembered something, hurriedly rushed out again, and yelled at Li Chen's back. (To be continued.) )
