Chapter 163: The Sea Falcon Ship
Chapter 163: The Sea Falcon Ship
Under the protection of the two hundred iron eagles, Li Cunhuan came to the vicinity of the Lutai Army in a carriage, because the Lutai Army had a Lutai salt field before, so a gravel road was built between it and Youzhou early. But even so, it was already late at night when Li Cunhuan came to Lutai Army. This made Li Cunhuan decide to take care of the road, and if he really couldn't do it, he would build a steam car, anyway, as long as he didn't know the principle of a steam car, Li Cunhuan asked himself if he could still develop a steam car.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Li Cunhuan was woken up by Sha Yuke, although he only slept for a little more than two hours, Li Cunhuan was in good health, except for the tired look on his face when he looked closely, the whole person still looked very energetic.
"Great General, morning!" When Han Mengyin saw Li Cunhuan, he greeted with a touch of triumph on his face.
"Morning!" Li Cunhuan replied with some lack of interest.
Han Mengyin also said that Li Cunhuan was not in good spirits, and he knew that Li Cunhuan was complaining about why he didn't finish the sea boat later! Didn't he sleep in the Dongfeng Pavilion last night! Li Cunhuan here forgot that he often urged Han Mengyin to hurry up and control the sea ship, it seems that even Li Cunhuan has a dark side that people don't know.
Han Mengyin made a gesture of please and took Li Cunhuan to a dock, which was made of tall steel and built a huge house, which firmly protected the two ships and sheltered them from the wind and rain.
Han Mengyin gave a few orders to his entourage, took Li Cunhuan to the side of a sea ship, and said proudly: "General, this sea ship is called the Sea Falcon Ship, and a total of three have been made, all of which are 800 hundred. It's our future warship of Lulong! ”
Li Cunhuan calculated Han Mengyin's data, one stone is equal to one stone, and one stone in the Tang Dynasty is 62.5 kilograms, multiplied by 800 and divided by 1,000, which is equal to 50 tons. Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be a little speechless, it is true that in modern times, a slightly larger warship has thousands of tons, and the capital ship is based on 10,000 tons.
However, Han Mengyin was still so proudly introduced, and Li Cunhuan also knew that this era could not be compared with the concept of his own later life, so he began to carefully look at this sea falcon ship. But it's okay not to look at it, as soon as you look at Li Cunhuan, his head is full of black lines.
The bow of the sea falcon is high, the stern is low, and the bow is like a duck's tail, which makes people look depressed. That's it, the bow is wide on the front, and the stern is narrow, and when viewed from a high position, it looks like a trapezoid. If the position of the bow of the ship is narrow, Li Cunhuan is not so angry, not to mention that he is not a little streamlined, he actually has such a big front, don't you add resistance to yourself?
"Is this what you call a warship? It's bullshit! Li Cunhuan wondered if Han Mengyin had recruited some liars to come back, and even a layman himself could see the idiocy of this sea ship.
Li Cunhuan pondered whether he should come to manage the manufacturing plant with another person! Of course, Li Cunhuan didn't forget to settle accounts with the shipbuilder, he was paralyzed, he wasted Lao Tzu's time for a year, not to mention, and wasted so much money. If it weren't for the fact that he extorted a lot of money from Zhu Wen's guy, I'm afraid it would be a little more difficult for me to survive now.
"General, what do you mean by that?" A young man suddenly rushed to Li Cunhuan's side, if it weren't for the two Iron Eagle soldiers who quickly clamped him on one side, Li Cunhuan doubted that this guy would rush up and punch him.
"Who is he?" Li Cunhuan glanced at the other party and asked.
"He is Luo Dachuan, the deputy envoy of shipbuilding, and I sent someone to find him to come over and introduce the situation of the sea ships to the general." Han Mengyin said a little overwhelmed.
"He designed this ship?" Li Cunhuan asked with a murderous face.
Han Mengyin didn't know why Li Cunhuan became so angry, and said a little blankly: "No, this is the design we found from the book that the general transported back from Chang'an. ”
"You guy don't know how to pretend to understand!" That Luo Dachuan also shouted angrily.
Li Cunhuan frowned and said, "Then you say this boat is good?" Look at the bow of the ship, raised high, I know even if I am an idiot that a battleship attacks the enemy by ramming its horns. Also, the front is so wide, how to ride the wind and waves! ”
"Stupid! You think the sea is a big river! Ride the wind and waves, ride the wind and sink into the sea! Luo Dachuan didn't have a trace of respect, and reprimanded mercilessly: "The characteristic of the sea falcon ship is that although the wind and waves are rising, there is no capsizing. The wide bow allows the boat to sail smoothly through rough seas. And do you see the waterboard on the side of the sea falcon? ”
(The water board, which was called the floating board in ancient times, is now called the water board, and here it is so that you don't have to change the ancient and modern vocabulary.) Zheng He's treasure ships in the West still used this equipment. )
Li Cunhuan looked at the place pointed by Luo Dachuan, the linear part where the side of the ship and the bottom of the ship were connected, and four long planks were connected, like four oars. "What is this? Oars? ”
"This is the Phi Deck!" Luo Dachuan said proudly: "He can stabilize the sea ship and ensure that the sea ship does not deviate!" ”
Li Cunhuan sneered disdainfully and said, "What I want is a warship, not a slow-moving old turtle!" ”
Luo Dachuan seemed to be greatly insulted, and said with a flushed face: "The Sea Falcon ship can fight in almost any weather!" Even in the stormy seas, he can still drive smoothly! ”
"All-weather combat?" Li Cunhuan couldn't have imagined that this ugly battleship was actually an ancient version of a high-level warship capable of all-weather combat.
Seeing Li Cunhuan's face showing surprise, Luo Dachuan proudly puffed up his chest and said, "That's right!" Moreover, the Sea Falcons are equipped with a total of sixteen small bed crossbows, and they will not be much worse than any sea ship! And this is the smallest sea falcon ship, otherwise I could have made him even better! And Wu Yue's side is also using this sea falcon ship as the main force! ”
Li Cunhuan asked softly to Han Yanhui beside him, "This guy didn't fool me, right?" ”
Li Cunhuan is not an idiot, he knows the gap between concept and reality, so even if Luo Dachuan is the Tao, Li Cunhuan still doesn't believe it. In the simplest form of government rule, not long after the reform and opening up, there were a large number of swindlers along the coast of China who said that they could make oil from seawater, and let the rich invest money to develop it. And this plan is only theoretically possible! In terms of temporary technology, it is impossible to achieve this goal, and the result is that a large number of rich people have been deceived by an unknown number of millions, resulting in bankruptcy, jumping off buildings, and jumping into the sea.
