After Gu Feng was caught working on Nanri Island, he was paid every month, and he couldn't use these wages on Nanri Island, so every month, the sea wolf would send someone to send the money back to their families on the shore, so that their families would not lose their source of livelihood.

Gu Feng learned the news that his youngest son was seriously ill through the people of the sea wolf, and he was anxious to just want to jump into the sea, and after Yu Xiaotian learned about it, he ordered someone to pick up his youngest son from the land, because the strength of the sea wolf's medical hall is still quite strong, and the level of the medical officers here is even much higher than the level of the doctors in the pharmacy in the city on land, so he brought his youngest son to Nanri Island for treatment, and the chance of survival is greater.

Gu Feng was sick and went to the doctor at that time, pinning his hopes on Yu Xiaotian, kneeling and kowtowing, begging Yu Xiaotian to save his youngest son, of course Yu Xiaotian was not sure whether he could save his son, just did his best.

But I didn't expect that the Seawolf Medical Center actually cured his youngest son's illness after the most reluctance, in fact, his youngest son's illness was not a big disease, but he met a quack doctor, and he never found the cause of the disease, and the result was that the treatment became more and more serious, and he almost lost his life.

After arriving at Nanri Island and being consulted by the medical officers here, the cause of the disease was immediately found, and after applying the medicine to the symptoms, he quickly improved, and within a few days, the disease was cured.

But Gu Feng doesn't understand this! thought that Yu Xiaotian had thought of a lot of ways to save his son, so from then on, he stayed behind and started to work for Yu Xiaotian.

Originally, he was old and almost no one used him, but here in the sea wolf, he was taken seriously, his salary was high, and his food was good, and his body, which was originally a little weak, gradually became tough again.

And the ancient style is a family handicraft, similar to Guo Fu, are the shipbuilding skills handed down by the ancestors, and in the craft, the experience of the ancient style is very rich, compared to Guo Fu's skills, there is no more, so after Guo Fu transferred to the freshwater shipyard, the Nanri Island shipyard here was handed over to the ancient wind to be responsible.

When Yu Xiaotian arrived at the shipyard, Gu Feng was here with a few apprentices and craftsmen to inspect the two large plywood boats, and when he saw Yu Xiaotian coming, he hurriedly asked Yu Xiaotian to say goodbye.

"Why did the big boss come over? Your body has not fully recovered, this seaside is windy and hot, why do you not care about your body so much! Gu Feng knew that Yu Xiaotian was usually very polite to them craftsmen, and seeing that Yu Xiaotian's body was still a little weak, and his face was not as good as before, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's all wrong! Let Master Gu worry you! Hehe! I know my own physical condition, and now I have nothing to do, and if I don't come out to move, I'm afraid the bone buckle will rust! Don't worry, my body bones are not as soft as you think, if I wasn't careless this time, I wouldn't have made such a fuss! Hehe!

What do you think? What do you think of the craftsmanship of this ship made by the Tessians? Yu Xiaotian waved his hand and smiled.

Gu Feng nodded again and again: "Just now, the villain took these guys to the boat to take a look, this boatsmith of the Taixi people is indeed exquisite, this boat is really good, the materials are sufficient, the seams are also good, there are a lot of whimsical ideas, but let me wait to open my eyes!" If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, there were some places that you really couldn't think of, so you can see that these Taixi craftsmen really can't be underestimated! ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled and then asked: "In fact, many things, it is likely that they learned from us Chinese, but they also have something to create, that is, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!" These dry silk people have been crisscrossing the sea for more than 100 years, and they are good at summing up experience and constantly renovating their ships, so over the years, they have surpassed our Chinese-style ships!

If the imperial court did not seal the sea after Zheng Daguan went to the West back then, with the skills of you craftsmen, you might not necessarily lose to them, it's a pity!

It's a pity that the imperial court closed the sea, so that many of the skills of building treasure ships have been lost, and our craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are too conservative and lack the courage to innovate.

Don't dislike to listen to me, now we have to admit that the shipbuilding skills of the Taixi people do have their own uniqueness, especially these big ships, which are built to be sturdy and durable, can withstand the wind and waves in the sea, and cross the ocean.

But now that I am here, I can't watch our Chinese's shipbuilding skills decline like this, you have to help me, step up the creation of some new ships, let us catch up with them, let these Taixi people also see and see, we Chinese are not stupid, can build better ships than them!

Now our Feizi Clipper is an example, although this ship is not big, but even if you get them to Tessie, it is not a loss! At the moment, there are not necessarily any ships that can outrun our Feizi Clippers, including the Tessie people, so as long as we are willing to do it and think more, there is nothing that cannot be done!

Okay, let's talk about it, after you have seen these two big plywood boats of the Taisi people, do you think they can be repaired? ”

Gu Feng listened to Yu Xiaotian's words, although he felt a little piercing, but he had nothing to say, the Taixi people's boat was placed in front of them, they saw it before they knew that the craftsmanship of others was indeed better than theirs, if they were asked to do it, they couldn't think of using these methods to build ships and build such a ship, so if it doesn't work, it won't work, and it can't be blamed on Yu Xiaotian's bad words.

But fortunately, now they have also built the Feizi clipper, and a few days ago they also transformed the gunboat of the three-masted Daifuku, and it cannot be said that they are useless, and they did not dare to say that they could build this big plywood ship of the Tessie people before, because they had never seen it.

Now things are easy to do, there are two big ships of the Tessians in front of them, from the inside to the outside, they can look at it casually, learn it casually, except for some crafts that they may not know much for a while, they can quickly figure out the structure of this ship.

As long as they write it down, they can also draw a scoop compared to a gourd in the future, and learn to build, in the past, they lacked a sense of innovation, held on to the defects, and only built those old ship types, which is not to blame for not wanting to think about building a better ship.

But the environment determines that they can't change the ship type casually, because they are shipwrights, and they must build ships according to the type of ship ordered by the customer.

Therefore, there is no demand, there is no motivation to create, the shopkeeper of the ship's liao will not take out the silver, toss the new ship type, the craftsmen naturally do not dare to mess around, and China's maritime trade, has always been accustomed to just running the South Seas, it is OK, and the routes taken are mostly routes near the shore, at least there must be some islands on the waterway as markers.

Basically, no one sailed across the ocean, ran to tens of thousands of miles of vast sea, to open up to find new opportunities, so after the Chinese ship in the middle of the Ming Dynasty Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the progress of technology stagnated, lost the momentum for continued development, coupled with the implementation of the policy of sealing the sea in the Ming Dynasty, shipbuilding technology completely stagnated, and even had a serious regression.

At least now how to build thousands of materials of the treasure ship of the craft, has been completely lost, the most important thing is such a long keel, how to splic, but also to ensure the strength of the structure, so that the sea ship can be in the wind and waves, keep the structure strong, without breaking and disintegrating, this point is no longer known.

And China's shipbuilders, most of them are the lowest level of society, they rely on word of mouth, hand-to-hand teaching and learning, most of them are illiterate, naturally there will be no technical materials, or literature and the like, limited some textual things, but also some seemingly expert scholars left.

And these scholars are not willing to be in the company of these shipwrights, soak in the shipwretties and really learn shipbuilding skills, so the written materials they left behind are mostly some hearsay and half-clawed things, many things are simply taken for granted or superficial, or even simply specious things, and future generations cannot learn anything useful from them.

In addition, the Chinese have not developed systematic cartographic techniques, and they do not know what the scale drawings of the road are, and some readers draw some ship drawings, but the proportions are out of balance, and there are no structural drawings, which cannot carry more information at all, so that later generations want to copy some ancient ships according to some documents or drawings, and there is no reliable information.

This is also the model ship of later generations, most of which are Western-style ships, but there are very few Chinese-style ships, or they are simply some specious things.

Chinese shipwrights, all relying on the craftsmanship left by their ancestors, in step by step to eat the old book, and each other and cherish each other, for fear that their craft will be learned, smash their own jobs, but also make a lot of very good skills, gradually lost in the long river of history.

After the beginning of the Age of Discovery, they were more willing to innovate because of the demand, constantly correcting the problems existing in the previous ships, constantly innovating some new ship types, and exploring ways to build ships that were more suitable for sailing in the sea.

In addition, at present, they have developed a relatively complete cartography, and shipbuilders no longer go to shipbuilding in person as before, but gradually become shipbuilding designers, they draw drawings, make models, and after testing, they hand over to the shipyard workers to build according to the drawings.

These have greatly promoted the development of shipbuilding in the West, and even more European countries have begun to set their sights on the sea, wanting to get a huge piece of the cake from it, so they compete with each other, and it is indispensable to fight at sea.
