Chapter 243: Get the Compass
The next moment, the names and descriptions of dozens of ships were all displayed on the estimate. Liu Yao was dazzled for a while.
Immediately, Liu Yao sat down and looked at it carefully with a frown.
In Liu Yao's view, among the warships, the building ship is necessary, as a building ship, it must be the strongest, the most durable, able to withstand wind and rain, and the most needed. There are also some small ships like the Ship, which are also needed, this kind of Liu Yao considers to be fast, flexible, and also needs novelty, with some special functions, so as to win by surprise. After summarizing the above situation, the names of three types of ships came into Liu Yao's eyes.
Zheng He's treasure ship, when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the largest sea ship in Zheng He's fleet, is a flat-bottomed sand ship type, 44 zhang long, 18 zhang wide, nearly two zhang draft, displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the treasure ship is divided into eight layers, can carry nearly 20,000 people at the same time. It was the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time, which made Zheng He's unimpeded and unstoppable when he went to the Western Ocean. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the hegemon among the large wooden sailing ships.
The centipede ship was a ship used by the Portuguese in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, who were known as the overlords of the sea. Its sea ship belongs to the light and fast sailing ship, because the hull is narrow and long, there are many grooves on both sides, and the shape is like a centipede, so it is commonly known as "centipede ship". This kind of ship is ten zhang long, broad and blue, with more than 40 side slots and 34 washes, supported by 300 people. Because of its unique shape, it is more than two or three times faster than the current punch, and it is agile and lightweight. It has an incomparable advantage among small boats.
The bottomless boat is the Southern Song Dynasty, the militia leader Zhang Gui in the war to defend Xiangyang. Manufactured vessels. The bottomless boat has no bottom in the middle, but there are flags, and there are standing boards on both sides to lure the Yuan army to jump into the boat and drown, although this kind of boat is not fast, it is not very flexible to use. But that's what you're needing, and it's best to use it to seduce others. In the absence of the enemy's knowledge. Surprise wins are king.
Liu Yao was very satisfied with these three kinds of ships. Zheng He's treasure ship is used as a building ship, and now the largest ship that this big man has ever seen is estimated to be less than one-fifth the size of this Zheng He treasure ship, and the enemy may have been frightened when he saw a giant like Zheng He's treasure ship. Not to mention combat, which could not be better than being used to deter the enemy.
And it can be used not only in the battle for hegemony in the future. Later, when it came to the sea, it was also the most excellent ship, and it was not afraid of the winds and waves of the sea. As for the speed dexterity of the centipede ship. Whether it is pursuing or retreating, it is a huge advantage. The deepest bottomless boat. Surprisingly winning. Together, these three ships will definitely work wonders.
However, after the end, Liu Yao looked at the prices of the drawings of these three ships, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and his eyelids jumped, not knowing what to say.
Zheng He's treasure ship, one hundred draws. Centipede boat, twenty draws, bottomless boat. Ten draws. The price of this centipede boat and bottomless boat is okay, and Liu Yao can also accept it. It's just that this Zheng He treasure ship needs a hundred lotteries, which makes Liu Yao depressed.
For a while, Liu Yao also hesitated, if he exchanged them all, he was afraid that his one hundred and seventy-second lottery would be used up all of a sudden, and if he wanted to exchange other good things, he might not be able to do it. And if you don't leave some guaranteed scores, then you will take over the task in the future, and you will be a little constrained, for fear that if you are not careful, the ancient books will leave you at that time, and you will be depressed.
"Damn, fight, isn't there a lottery, anyway, the matter of this ship is not in a hurry, if it can't be drawn, then we will talk about it." In case I'm lucky and all three are drawn, I wonder if there are other good things. Liu Yao slapped the table and said angrily.
In the end, Liu Yao decided to use the lottery function that he hadn't used for a long time. At the beginning, Liu Yao already didn't want to use the lottery function, after all, this thing was too unstable. If you can't get what you want at the critical time. It is estimated that once the game is wrong, Liu Yao can't afford to gamble.
But now it's different, now Liu Yao hasn't encountered any real problems, even if he really can't draw the boat, it doesn't matter, if he really waits for Liu Yao to fight to the south, I'm afraid it will be a few years or even a few years later. Then when it turns to the lottery again, you can redeem it at that time.
"Ancient books, give me a lottery!!" Liu Yao shouted viciously. This time, Liu Yao was also ruthless.
The next moment, there was a green light in the ancient book, and a drawing appeared in front of Liu Yao, the design of the rice cooker.
"Congratulations to the host for getting the rice cooker blueprint, the host still has one hundred and seventy-one draws left, do you want to continue!"
The corners of Liu Yao's mouth twitched, and he secretly cursed in his heart to congratulate your sister. He was used to it, but he didn't show any more aggressive behavior, but continued to shout, "Go on!" ”
"Go ahead...... Congratulations to the host...... There are still one hundred and seventy left......" and then there has been a kind of endless cycle between Liu Yao and the estimate. Liu Yao either pumped something that needed electricity to start, or something that needed to burn oil to use, or everything that was completely useless. In short, I haven't seen anything useful.
"Go on." Liu Yao shouted weakly, he already regretted his choice of lottery, and there was nothing useful for the twenty-six lotteries, which made his little confidence about to wear off. However, Liu Yao still intends to continue. His limit is seventy-two, and if there are no usable drawings in seventy-two, then he will give up decisively. There are still a hundred lottery draws left to exchange for Zheng He's treasure ship, and as for the centipede ship and the bottomless ship, let's save it for later.
The next moment, a green light flashed in the ancient book again, and a drawing appeared in front of Liu Yao's eyes. Compass blueprint.
"Congratulations to the host for getting the compass blueprint, there are one hundred and forty-five draws left, please ask if you want to continue the lottery."
Liu Yao couldn't sit still anymore when he saw these words, and his eyes, which were already a little bored, burst out with a fine light in an instant. Immediately stood up with a "Teng" sound. I looked at the compass in front of me with some excitement. What is this compass, it is one of the four great inventions of ancient times.
And this is not the kind of Northern Song Dynasty that is the easiest to polish the magnet and make a simple childish compass made of a thread that can be compared, and it is not the more ancient kind of Sinan, or the guide car, the guide fish can be compared. At that time, people didn't have much sailing experience, so God knows if such a simple thing as the Dao can be used.
But this drawing is different, this is the product of the 21st century, and modern seafaring technology can be said to have reached the point of excellence. The four oceans have not been anywhere. The compass used at this time is naturally the best one, and there will be no problems.
This is what Liu Yao needs. Whether this ship is driving in rivers and lakes, it needs a compass, otherwise who can tell the direction in the vast waters. There may be experienced sailors who do not need a compass and can rely on their own experience and feelings to discern the direction. But when is it time to get a fog? At that time, there was nothing to see, and the only thing I could rely on was the compass, otherwise there would be only a dead end at that time, and I would eventually lose my way and die in the belly of the fish.
Even rivers and lakes need the help of a compass, not to mention that Liu Yao is still thinking about going to sea in the future. Outside Europe, Africa, South America, etc., those are all places that Liu Yao yearns for, where potatoes, corn, peppers and other crops are what Liu Yao has always wanted. It's just that these are still too far, and now Liu Yao's goal is only the entire Han.
After calming down, Liu Yao sat down slowly, the most important goal of his trip had not yet been drawn, there was no boat, what was the use of asking for this compass. Immediately, Liu Yao shook his head helplessly, and continued to shout, "Ancient books, continue to draw lotteries." (To be continued......)
