The next day is the New Year, but the most important thing in this era is the Lantern Festival, and the New Year is not very important, so on this day, the Special Administrative Region has a half-day holiday, and the morning is as usual for business or work, and the afternoon is off.

Mao Geng sat in the carriage and went straight to the Guogong line, the car was halfway through, and when he saw that the time was still early, he explained to the coachman, and the carriage turned and went straight to the shipyard.

Mao Geng climbed onto the "iron ship" and walked back and forth, all the iron sheets had been nailed, and the deck was shining with an iron-gray luster, which made Mao Geng suddenly have an illusion, as if he was on the deck of a ship in the future, and then understood that this was just conjecture, and he was a little dazed for a while.

Looking back at the special zone that I am proud of, there are no high-rise buildings, no cars shuttling back and forth, and this kind of situation is not even comparable to a small town in later generations.

As far as the eye can see, the blue sea stretches to the horizon, and the waves crash against the shore before receding from the beach.

This is the era of green environmental protection, there is no exhaust gas, no carbon emissions, no toxic food, almost no pollution, and the only pollution here is the emission of soap, which is almost negligible.

However, Mao Geng has never been an environmentalist, on the contrary, Mao Geng advocates industrialization.

Mao Geng, who knew the power of industrialization, came to the Great Song Dynasty and came to this era, and he was destined to be lonely, and no one around him could understand himself.

This is a primitive era, even though the Great Song Dynasty is technically stable in the world, with proud water transport instruments, large hydraulic looms, and so on, but there is still a long way to go before industrialization.

But it doesn't matter, there will be a qiē, there will be a small building, there will be a high-rise building, and then there will be a skyscraper; With small ships, there will be big ships, and then there will be steel megaships------。

It's like a dream, and this is the place where your dream begins.

Mao Geng thought about it and smiled, okay, Zhao Luan is a very good young man, he is an aspiring young man with ideals and ambitions, he wants to build an iron ship, in fact, it is not an unattainable thing, within three or five years, he can help him realize this dream.

Mao Geng walked around the deck again, and felt the feeling of the iron sheet under his feet, well, it looks beautiful, but when he stepped on it, he felt that the iron sheet was stepped on, and as soon as he raised his foot, he rebounded, alas! It's still very empty under your feet! No, we have to hurry up and make steel!

After getting off the boat, Mao Geng jumped into the carriage and shouted:

"Quick! Go to the country. ”

The next moment, in the spacious reception room of the National Public Bank.

On the sand in the middle of the moment sat Zhao Luan, Mao Geng sat in his left hand, and Han Yanxuan sat in his right hand.

The three of them are old partners, the original Xiaobai combination is now the golden combination of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is only more than half a year.

"Please two of you, let's talk about the shipbuilding plan for next year."

Zhao Lian has an ambitious shipbuilding plan, one of the plans is to build two new large dry docks in Kaohsiung Port, ready to build large ships with great fanfare, the second plan is to prepare to hold two private shipyards in Quanzhou, Quanzhou's shipbuilding industry in this era is the world's leading, shipbuilding degree is also the world's largest, originally Zhao Lian wanted to put Quanzhou's official shipyard under his command, but Quanzhou shipyard is the main shipyard of the imperial court to build warships, and there are some old and serious courtiers in the imperial court who think that they can't be tossed blindly by Zhao Luan, Therefore, Zhao Lian had no choice but to turn to the acquisition of private shipyards.

Han Yanxuan was worried about the ship, and immediately said:

"Guogong's shipbuilding plan, Xiaguan fully supports! Guogong, you don't know, the people below have been looking forward to the launch of the fast ship for a long time, and when it comes to shipping, everything is good, but it's too slow! I don't know what kind of distance the clipper can go to, if it is really as Mao Geng said, the navigation capacity is doubled, and we will order three ships at a time in the Taiwan and Song Dynasty Sea Trade. One ship from Hokkaido and two ships on the Annan route to Zhancheng. In addition, Mao Geng, whaling ship, you have to build two large ones, Jin Ding came to the news, saying that there is a whaling ship that almost overturned the whale and killed more than a dozen people. ”

Mao Geng is not very professional in shipbuilding, especially sailboats, especially the design of soft sails, but he knows more than people of this era, so he is relieved:

"Mr. Han, even if the clipper ship is not doubled, it will always be a lot faster, I think it shouldn't be a problem to save one-third of the time on sea voyages. As for whaling ships, if they are built too large, they will be slowed down, and another way is to increase the steam power, but I don't advocate that. I have a new design here, which I came up with after this typhoon, but it could also be used for whaling. ”

When Zhao Lian heard this, he became interested, and hurriedly asked:

"What a new design, tell me about it."

Mao Geng took out a wooden model from his bag and put it on the coffee table, Zhao Yan took a look, can this thing also be called a boat! At first glance, it looks like an egg, no, like a big goose egg, but the proportions are wrong. To be precise, this is an ellipsoid, and its thickest point is less than a quarter of its length. However, it is said that it does not look like a ship, but it has wings and propellers, hehe, it looks like a monster.

"What kind of strange ship is this?"

Mao Gengxin said, I haven't seen it! This is just a reference to the design of later submarines, of course, you don't have the concept of submarines, you can't understand this model.

So Mao Geng patiently explained, telling sù Zhao and Han Yanxuan, this is a new type of ship that can be fully enclosed, resistant to wind and waves, anti-whale siege, all-weather, multi-functional, safety performance is second to none, and it kills other ships in this era.

Although the ship was similar in design to later submarines, it was not intended for diving. To put it bluntly, this is just a ship that looks like a submarine but can only sail on the surface, and as for a submarine that can dive, we can only count on an upgraded version in the future.

Since the lid can also be sealed, it will not sink even if it is besieged by a group of whales.

Mao Geng's design of this type of ship was purely designed for the navigation safety of an important person like Zhao Luan at the beginning, and of course it can also be said that it was designed for his own navigation safety.

"You think, you know, there will be a typhoon at any time on the sea, sometimes it comes without warning, with this tumbler-like ship, no matter how bad the wind and waves are, this ship will shake and churn in the sea, and it will never sink. Even if it is a short turnover, because the center of gravity is designed at the bottom, even if it is turned over instantly, it will immediately turn over, so this boat is not afraid of the wind and waves at all. ”

Zhao Lian is already smart, this time immersed in shipbuilding skills, has a little peep into the mysteries, naturally a little thorough, Zhao Lian picked up the model, thought about it and asked questions:

"Mao Geng, do you have a way to make this boat not leak?"

Han Yanxuan also had questions:

"If it's so tightly sealed, how can you hit a whale with an arrow?"

Mao Geng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that these are not problems, there is already a mature solution, but Mao Geng is not in a hurry to explain, just said:

"Guogong, after the Chinese New Year, build a prototype boat, and then you can appreciate the wonders of this ship."

"Alright! Mao Geng, I believe you won't let me down! Hehe, if it succeeds, isn't this a tumbler in the water! This boat is wonderful! Wonderful! With this ship, you will no longer be afraid of typhoons. ”

The topic returned to Zhao Lu's grand plan for shipbuilding.

On the list of Zhao Lu's shipbuilding, in addition to the No. 1 iron ship to be completed after the year, three iron ships of the same type will be built next year, which are 300-ton warships. Coupled with the three clippers that Taisong Haimao may order, as well as the whaling ship, it is enough for the shipyard to be busy for a year.

That's not all, Zhao Lu's plan is to build an 800-1,000-ton warship next year.

Today's special zone, in many ways have reflected a "special" word, in the special zone, has been gradually implemented the metric system, kilograms, tons, meters, kilometers and the like, at least the technical mouth can be used, Zhao Lu is young, but also quickly adapted to the metric system.

For the construction of thousand-ton ships, Mao Geng felt that the problem was not big, to ensure the structural strength of the ship Mao Geng thought that he was still quite sure, there was no practical means, which could improve the safety factor and leave enough room for strength.

But the bigger the ship is built, the more money is burned, and of course it burns more money to build a real ironclad ship, so Mao Gengjian yì Zhao Lu adopted the method of raising part of the funds publicly, right! That is to say, shipbuilding is also engaged in the joint-stock system. ，

Mao Geng's request to Zhao Luan to unveil the plaque of the SEZ Stock Exchange was based on the pretext that it would be conducive to raising shipbuilding equity in the market.

Originally, Zhao Yan also applied to the imperial court for shipbuilding funds, but Zhao Yan has always saved, to put it irreverently, Zhao Tuan is notoriously stingy, and the money is allocated, but the money allocated is only 100,000 yuan, which is far from satisfying Zhao Luan's shipbuilding career.

It costs money to build a dry dock, it costs money to buy a shipyard, in short, everything costs money, and the warship was originally made in Taiwan, and it was sold to Zhao Luan himself.

Originally, Han Yan's profit from Song Haimao was more than 300,000 yuan, but first, Song Haimao also needed money turnover when he came to Taiwan, and secondly, he had to settle accounts with the imperial court after all, so Zhao Lian also felt that public raising of share capital was a good way.

After some deliberation, the three of them decided on the name of "Donghai Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.", with the imperial court contributing 100,000 yuan, the Taiwan Song Dynasty Haimao and the Special Economic Zone Group each contributing 50,000 yuan, and then publicly raising 100,000 yuan of share capital.

Mao Geng hopes that the exchange will continue to be prosperous, and Donghai shares will be able to raise share capital after the year.

After discussing this matter, the three of them felt very relaxed, and Han Yanxuan mentioned that the Arabian horse from the big food had arrived, and it was indeed a good horse! Zhao Lian was curious, and immediately asked him to take a look.

Zhao Lian likes to be lively, so he invited the two of 6 Ye and the three generals of Wu Guoyue, including Jiang Bokui, Guo Xixian and Zhou Wei, to enjoy the horses.

Everyone was amazed to see the tall Arabian horses, these horses will be transported to Hokkaido as soon as the New Year is over, as a breed/horse, will shoulder the important task of cultivating a new generation of excellent military horses in the Great Song Dynasty.

A group of people were led by Jiang Ang to visit the iron ship and the clipper ship that were about to be completed, and everyone was in high spirits for a while. They all said that with the iron ship, at least the water war can brutalize the Jin soldiers and sailors.

After laughing and laughing for a while, 6 Jiuyuan reminded that Mao Te would be the groom the day after tomorrow, and everyone should not disturb Mao Te in the past two days.

So there was another congratulation, and the crowd dispersed.

6 Jiuyuan pulled Mao Geng and asked:

"Is the cannon on the iron ship ready? Also, what kind of musket did you tell me last time, you said it needs to be improved, how is it improved now? ”

It's hard to remember 6 Jiuyuan! Mao Geng smiled:

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my precious musket."
