Chapter 857: Shipbuilding Base

Qin Feng came to the third day of Longquan Temple of Cuiping Peak in Changshan, and went down the mountain without accomplishing anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jia Xu saw that the lord's affairs did not work out, on the one hand, he felt that things were tortuous, and on the other hand, he comforted: "The lord doesn't have to be discouraged, let's think of other ways." ”

Zhao Yun said again: "My master loves fish like life, if you can really find fish that my master has not eaten, I can do it." But Master has traveled the world for nearly 100 years and has eaten all the fish ....... ”

"It's really an old monster......." Pang Tong muttered, he was only in his twenties, just a fraction of Zuo Ci's age.

Qin Feng signaled that it was okay, and said, "Since it has come out, let's go to the Northern Earth Academy of Sciences to have a look." ”

Everyone thought that Qin Feng was going back to Beijing, but they didn't expect to go to the Academy of Sciences. They have also heard of the name of the Beidi Academy of Sciences, which is in Tanggu Port. Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan are in charge and specialize in the study of new gadgets. Now the main project is a research ship, a ship capable of going into the deep sea.

Pang Tong came from Jiangnan and said happily: "Yes, my lord, let's go to the Academy of Sciences to have a look, with a huge warship, we can start the Age of Discovery." ”

So, everyone was depressed and followed Qin Feng to the Academy of Sciences. In fact, Qin Feng knew in his heart that the research on sea ships was still in its infancy, and there was still a long way to go before the Age of Discovery.

The crowd galloped on the avenue, and two days later, they entered the port of Tanggu.

Lao Jia sighed, "Although this road is not long, it used to take about five days, but now it can be reached in two or three days." This is inseparable from the construction of the road by the Lord. ”

"If you want to get rich, build roads first, the lord is too right." Pang Tong said.

Building roads isn't just about boosting the economy and making it easier to get around. The road is the foundation of an empire's management of its territory.

Tanggu, before, was just a deserted coast.

However, when Qin Feng made this the address of the Northern Earth Academy of Sciences and the research base of sea ships, thousands of skilled craftsmen came here, and it became lively.

After half a year of development, it has begun to take on the appearance of a seaport.

Standing on the sea rock, the long coastline looks like a blue necklace, and the port pier located in it is the pearl of the necklace.

Under the illumination of the sun, the sparkling waves of the sea, the blue sky, white clouds, seagulls, islands and reefs constitute a beautiful picture.

Originally, Tanggu could be based on the Academy of Sciences and the base to form a large-scale port city. But at present, the secrecy of keel shipbuilding is more important, which is related to who can start the Age of Exploration first.

Therefore, due to Qin Feng's extremely high level of secrecy, Tanggu has completely become a militarized base port, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

"What people!"

At the gate leading to the interior of the base, a group of men and horses arrived, and the garrison sounded the horn.

Naturally, it was Qin Feng and them, they stopped at the gate, and everyone saw that Gan Ning and Tai Shici, with a few people, were actually outside the gate, as if they were waiting for something.

"It's the lord!"

After the soldiers of the Qin army at the base were stunned for a moment, they were overjoyed.

The gate was opened, and the garrison swarmed out and bowed by the roadside.

Qin Feng motioned for everyone to get up, a little surprised that Gan Ning and Tai Shici were also here, and said, "Ziyi, Xingba? ”

Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning were embarrassed, and saluted again: "Lord, we are here to see the ship." ”

Qin Feng smiled and suddenly realized. He was quite pleased that the Naval Governor cared about the construction of the ship, so he asked, "Why didn't you go in?" ”

"Lord, these soldiers won't let us in, saying that we can only go in if we get approval." Tai Shi Ci said.

Gan Ning shouted, "It's not the first time I've come, I have to approve it every time." ”

Qin Feng smiled: "That's right, let's go and have a look." ”

Since Qin Feng personally led the team, everyone was exempted from the approval process and followed Qin Feng into the base.

Everyone knows that Gan Ning and Tai Shici are the governors of the navy, and they are at the base of the Yellow River every day. This time I came here, it goes without saying that I can't wait for the new ship.

Subsequently, Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan heard the news.

Speaking of which, since the establishment of this base, it was the first time Qin Feng had come here.

Led by Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan, Qin Feng then visited the base. Although it can't be compared with the huge shipyard in later generations, this base of Qin Feng is also quite large-scale.

The five-story building ship, built in the dock, is also quite shocking.

Inside the base, it is also a hot work scene.

Qin Feng asked, "How is the development of keel technology?" ”

Keel technology will give the vessel a higher displacement, greater stability and greater strength. The significance of keel technology, the high-level executives around Qin Feng have long been aware of it.

The arrival of Qin Feng led the Chinese people to understand the vastness of the world in advance, and too many places were not explored, so great wealth slept in unexplored places. And the huge raging ocean, isolated from place to place. Today's flat-bottomed boats can't conquer the seas.

After understanding why the keel technology became even more important when it came to the ocean.

Qinfeng's Tanggu base is divided into several areas, including the academic research area of the Academy of Sciences, the shipbuilding area, the simulation area, and so on.

Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan took Qin Feng to the simulation test site.

It is a modified enclosed place, that is, a huge pond was dug on the coast, and on the side of the sea, a dam with a lock was built.

Huang Chengyan said: "This is a simulation of a huge wind and waves in the sea. ”

Everyone saw that there were two ships in the simulation area at this moment, one with a deep draft and the other with a shallow draft. These two ships are three-story fighting ships, but they are just hulls, but heavy objects are placed inside to simulate the displacement of real ships.

The engineering design here was all designed by Qin Feng, but he acted as a commentator, saying: "This ship with a deep draft has keel technology, and this shallow one is a flat-bottomed boat." ”

After that, the experiment began.

Because the artificially dug 'sea pool' is below sea level, after the dam is opened to release water, the seawater can easily simulate the big waves in the sea after passing through several curves designed by Ma Jun.

The simulated huge wave was more than ten meters high, and Jia Xu and Pang Tong were immediately stunned. And Tai Shici and Gan Ning and other water generals were radiant and their blood was boiling.

A big wave came, and when the second and third came, the flat boat capsized, and the keel boat was fine.

However, after the keelboat held out for a little longer, it disintegrated in some places, and the sea water poured into it, and eventually it sank.

Ma Jun hurriedly ordered the gate to be closed, and said ashamedly: "The lord ......." ”

Qin Feng motioned to him without saying much, and explained: "In the sea, the wind and clouds are unpredictable. Storm zones always appear suddenly, creating strong winds and waves. It can be as short as a few minutes, as long as days and nights. Flat-ground ships can't enter the deep sea because they can't withstand the strong wind and waves, and there is no return. But with keel technology, it's different, however, for the time being, this technology needs to be improved. ”

Everyone is on the seaside, and the waves on the seashore hit the shore, one after another without stopping, you can imagine the waves in the deep sea.

Qin Feng specifically said to Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan: "Don't care about failure, failure is the mother of success." ”

Everyone couldn't help but feel moved, failure is the mother of success, and the lord said it too well.

Ma Jun had a chance to say at this time: "Lord, just the day before, a ship with complete keel technology has been tested by the True Sea. However, the keel technology used in larger fighting ships and building ships is not perfect. ”

The warship was the smallest of the battleships, and it could carry a dozen people.

But Qin Feng was still very happy and said, "It's only been half a year, and it's really good to be able to have a keel technology ship." ”

His heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Can this keel ship go to sea now?" (To be continued.) )
