"Tell me what you think!"

The designers asked questions, but Yang Meng's solution still scratched his head, if there was a suitable solution, would they still ask questions?

But this shipyard owner is a murderous existence, and the two stewards who are familiar with these designers and mechanics, one was beheaded, and the other was beheaded, and they signed a contract with the shipyard for ten years not to leave the Qing Kingdom, and in the face of the devil, all they could do was rack their brains to find a way.

"My lord, the combination of iron sheet and wooden hull can increase the toughness and strength of the hull, which we know and understand.

The weight of the hull of the old warship was too large, and if you want to attach iron armor, you can only reduce the weight of the hull, and if you want to reduce the weight of the hull, you can only make the planks thinner.

Dismantling the ship's plank, it is easy for these old warships, but once dismantled and reassembled, it is impossible to reassemble, these warships are soaked in water, and they can still have a certain lifespan, once they leave the water, in a month or two, these warships will disintegrate on their own.

Once ashore, the water will quickly evaporate, and the hull will crack and the skeleton will be deformed, which is an inevitable problem.

In addition to attaching iron armor, maintaining the structure of the ship is also a difficult task for us. ”

In fact, all the problems, these designers and technicians have them in their hearts, and they can't solve these problems, and the transformation of the ironclad can only be regarded as a utopian dream.

"It's not hard to solve, but my lord. In addition to maintaining the humidity of the ship. We have an even bigger problem. That's the fixation of the iron armor!

Because of the long time floating in the sea water, the wooden hull is very slippery, the iron armor nailed to the wooden hull, it is easy to fall off, once the wind and waves are too strong, the hull is deformed by compression, and the iron plate nailed to the hull will fall off. It is even possible to cause the disintegration of the entire battleship, which is also a huge problem. ”

Ask questions to solve problems, and then ask questions, who dares to say that these designers and mechanics don't have brains? Yang Meng asked them to talk about their opinions, and they talked about their opinions, but a maze array was also placed in front of Yang Meng.

"My lord, the problem of iron armor can also be solved, as long as one more layer of iron armor is attached to the cabin, so that the double layer of iron armor is wrapped around the wooden planks. The structure of the hull will be stronger.

However, this way. The weight of the warship will also increase exponentially, and according to my estimates, the weight of such a warship will be at least twice or more after the renovation is completed, which is also a huge test for the watertight cabin. ”

One link after another, these designers and technicians in the shipyard used their skills to build a difficult pass in front of Yang Meng, and these problems, for Yang Meng, can be regarded as a pass, only he knows best.

This era is an era of chaos, but also an era of technological explosion, although compared with later generations, these so-called technologies are somewhat pediatric, but compared with the previous life, this era is definitely a big era of technological explosion.

Steam engines, trains, ships, telegraphs, these are all innovations, although this era is a leap compared to before, but Yang Meng has seen more, better, more whimsical things, some things, do not need to know the principle of the Dao, as long as the method of the Dao is known, the question raised by these people in the shipyard is actually the way to transform the ironclad ship.

"Hmmm! You said it very well, you will think about the problem you raised, all the difficulties in transforming the ironclad ship have been overcome by you.

The large structure of the hull, the iron-wood combined planks, and the double-layer ironclad are the construction ideas of the ironclad ship, and you can draw the transformation drawings! ”

After Yang Meng finished saying this, the nine designers and technicians present felt that they had been toyed with by this murderous demon who did not blink an eye, and these three major problems had not been solved, how to draw transformation drawings?

"My lord, what we have raised are unavoidable questions, and if these problems are not solved, how can you ask us to draw drawings?"

It felt bad to be fooled, and there was a little more anger in the tone of the person who spoke.

"The problem has been solved, think about it again! It's almost time, you eat first, and after eating, let's continue talking! ”

Although seven of these nine people are foreigners, they are now employed regardless of Chinese or Western, leaving them some space for free imagination and pondering the Tao in it by themselves, which is far better than saying it by themselves.

As long as many things are slightly improved, it is a perfect method, but the idea limits them, ironclad ships, not without the possibility of manufacturing, but not recognized by most people, especially the navies of various countries, their attitude, can determine the future of ironclad ships.

The ironclad ship is not taken seriously, which is a regression for the times and a loss for the navies of the great powers, but it is an opportunity for Yang Meng, and it is Yang Meng's idea to seize this negligence of the great powers and ravage them on the sea in the future.

In Yang Meng's impression, England has ravage-class warships, but now it doesn't seem to be, this title is good, if these three old English warships are successfully transformed, they will be called ravage-class battleships.

Leaving a group of wide-eyed designers and technicians, Yang Meng walked into the cabin, where a plump servant woman was busy with her work, a woman with such a posture is rare in the south.

"Third master, the slave Lan Ying has kowtowed to you."

Rules are a thing that most of the time is to restrain the people, whether it is in the officialdom or in their own homes, the rules are always formulated for the people at the bottom, how can there be any rules at the top, if dirty and chaotic are rules, then this is the rule of the top.

"Get up! I don't have that much rule, look at your age......"

This servant woman, who claims to be a slave named Lan Ying, looks quite good, but she is a little too old to be a maid at the age of thirty.

"Master, Lan Ying fled here, the man died on the way to escape the famine, there is a son and a daughter to support at home, life is not easy, you just leave her!"

Wei Fuzi, who was hugging the brocade quilt, also swept away his laziness and began to speak for this servant woman.

"Oh...... Something interesting. It was Taechen who asked you to come. Where are you from? ”

Look at Lan Ying's appearance. Yang Meng laughed, Ding Taichen still has a lot of twists and turns, recently his ability as a big housekeeper has become good, and he can touch his own veins.

"The slave maid is originally from Jiangsu, it was Ding Ye who arranged for me to come here, and now my two children have entered school, and with support, the slave and maid can serve Mrs. anytime and anywhere. Nothing to worry about.

The third master has some mercy, as long as he gives a mouthful of food! ”

After listening to Lan Ying's explanation, Yang Meng was also relieved, although this person had passed Ding Taichen's level, this body shape was still worth paying attention to.

"What can I do?"

"You can do anything! I was originally a person who inserted a mark outside the city of Guangzhou, there is nothing I can't do, as long as the third master can give my children a way to live, Lan Ying can do anything. ”

It is not uncommon in this era to insert a label and sell the head, a dozen taels of silver for a living person. There are some common bazaars, although the imperial court explicitly forbade the sale of human beings. But this thing has been banned repeatedly, and the reason is still in the belly, in order to eat, it is not uncommon to sell children and daughters-in-law and aunts.

In some places where there is no food, the human flesh mouth is also very common, the so-called human flesh mouth, is the place where human flesh is sold, the most famine years, the difficult years are also common, a pound of human flesh is a few big children, cheaper than any food, there are many people who eat this.

In the past few years, there have been few stable places in the Qing Dynasty, refugees and displaced people are everywhere, and human trafficking has become an extremely common business.

"Hmmm! Stay! Zhiqing, you write a note to Taichen, if you encounter such a thing in the future, give them food to eat, we have money and food, not bad for these things, treat Guangzhou as Yunnan, where we are, there can be no starving people. ”

In the past two years, the Yang family has not only had more silver and more food in their hands, but some rules should also be changed.

"My heart is so good!"

"The third master is merciful!"

"Let's get ready for dinner! There's business in the afternoon! ”

Skipping the sycophants of the two women, there are some things that must be done, if you see it, you have to reach out, and if you can't see it, there is no way.

"Sit down together!"

Wei Fuzi couldn't get up, and it was a little awkward to eat alone, pointing to the chair next to him, Yang Meng planned to let Lan Ying serve the table.

"Slaves don't dare!"

"You will do whatever the third master says, don't push."

Wei Fuzi helped, Lan Ying sat down beside Yang Meng tremblingly, after sitting down, this Lan Ying was also very nervous, the soup was sprinkled on the table, and the wine was sprinkled on Yang Meng's body, Lan Ying was just about to kneel, and was pressed on the chair by Yang Meng.

"It doesn't matter! Dine! ”

Eat as much as you have on the table, Ding Taichen is not there, the amount of dishes arranged by the people below is a bit large, Yang Meng can eat hard, and he only eats most of it.

"Zhiqing, tell the people below that the amount of food is too large, do you want to kill Lao Tzu? Lan Ying, you also let go of eating, don't spoil the food. ”

Yang swept most of the food on the table, Lan Ying swept the small half, looked at the clean plates and bowls, and Lan Ying who covered his mouth, Yang Meng smiled, laughed a little miserably, it is not easy to be a man in this world!

"Master, do you have a crush on this rough servant?"

Lan Ying went down to pack up her things, and Wei Fuzi laughed at Yang Meng with the courage to laugh.

"Hmmm! It looks good, and if it can, it doesn't hurt to use it. ”

"There are so many thin horses in Lixiangyuan, why are you doing this?"

"Mutual benefit, no burden, she is widowed and I have needs, after finishing the matter, it is much easier to use than a thin horse, a thin horse, it is troublesome after receiving it!"

Occasionally, Yehe is not a burden for Yang Meng, it is just a curiosity, and he has to keep it when he is thin, and it is really a trouble to work hard.

"Then I'll let Taichen know, and choose a few better-looking ones for you?"

"It's good to tacitly say it, it's not interesting to say it, Taichen knows better than you, don't make a fuss about these things, once you start, the people below will be able to make a large number of decent widows, isn't this evil?"

You must not underestimate the upward and downward effects, as long as Yang Meng opens his mouth, there are no difficulties to create difficulties, and the people below will also think about the flattery of the law, and for some people, the simple ones can't be simpler.

After chatting for a while, estimating that the time was almost up, he asked Wei Fuzi to tidy up his clothes, and Yang Meng stepped onto the deck slowly.

"Guys, what are you thinking?"

"No clue!"

"No way!"

"Can't get the drawings!"

……

Yang Meng's question was simple, the designers and technicians of the shipyard answered very firmly, it seems that this time is in vain for them, and their thinking is not open!

"How can I reduce the weight of the ship? This is the crux of the matter, in my opinion it is very simple, it is nothing more than to reduce the thickness of the ship's plates and skeleton, but after the thickness is reduced, the firmness of the hull is reduced, how to increase the firmness of the hull?

Speaking of which, it's up to you, so there's always some way of thinking, right? Keep thinking! ”

Yang Meng's question, in fact, many people have thought about it, but they only think about the solidity of the hull after reducing the thickness, and after reducing the thickness of the ship's plate and skeleton, the ship will fall apart.

After hearing the reinforcement of the hull, the eyes of the nine people lit up, and they waited for the next step of the adult, but they continued to think about it, and directly dispersed the eyes of expectation, but with this idea, there was also a topic of continued argumentation, looking at the nine people who were gathered in a pile and discussing the method, Yang Meng smiled, this is like words! (To be continued......)
