Chapter 111: Construction within a time limit
After getting Yu Xiaotian's definite answer, everyone couldn't help but start to get excited, and the horse owl pounced and lay next to the boat model, and the harazi flowed to the side of the ship, eager to stick out their tongues and lick the boat model.
Yu Xiaotian pulled the horse owl away and said with a smile: "Tap, tap!" This ship is not strong! There are so many places that are glued! Some places are simply put on the void, you can disassemble and see the structure inside, if you lie down on me like this, I will be in vain for more than ten nights! Can you afford it? ”
Ma Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly grinned, rubbed his hands and smiled: "The big boss will scare me!" I don't have the skills! If it breaks, I can't fix it, you can see, I didn't break it, and if it does, I won't do my job! Hey! ”
Ma Xiao's performance was immediately despised by everyone.
Yu Xiaotian removed many parts of the ship one by one, these parts are movable, can be removed or installed at any time, so that others can easily see the internal structure of the hull and the structure of some transmission parts.
Seeing this, Guo Fu and others admired Xiaotian even more, such a ship model, even if they were asked to do it, they might not be able to make it, and they did it so finely and thoughtfully.
Yu Xiaotian thought triumphantly: This time it can be regarded as suppressing you guys, master, I used to be a master here, plus a few joiners and I will help, it is not easy to do this! Hey!
After Yu Xiaotian removed some parts, he asked Guo Fu and the others to observe the structure inside, and then after recovering them, he asked Guo Fu and them:
"That's it for the ship model, I try to take into account everything I need to think about! The next thing is your business, start building a new ship according to this ship model.
I don't care about the structure, you use your method, try to make me stronger, don't consider saving materials, and use all the best wood!
If you have any problems, you can ask me to raise them, and we will find a way to solve them together! Anyway, I want this kind of ship in the future, you can see and discuss, how long will it take to build? ”
Guo Fu and the others bowed down to receive the order, and took a few masters in the boat to start discussing the ship model around the ship, and after a while, they asked Xiaotian:
"Big boss, how big is this ship going to be built? How many materials do we need to build for the first time? ”
Yu Xiaotian had a headache for the question of how much material to build, and the size of ships in later generations was calculated according to the tonnage of displacement, but in this era, China's shipbuilders were based on materials.
But this kind of material is a unit, but it is difficult to say how much a material is, and it is difficult for Yu Xiaotian to figure out how the material is calculated, or after understanding these shipwrights, he probably knows the Tao, in the unit of material, a material is about ten cubic feet, in general, if converted into tonnage, the tonnage of the three materials is about one ton, so that Yu Xiaotian probably figured out how big the material is.
When Guo Fu asked them how much material the first boat made, Yu Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is the first boat, then let's build a smaller one first, and build it according to the size of one hundred and fifty materials, and you can enlarge it according to the proportion!" ”
The displacement of a ship of one hundred and fifty materials is about more than fifty tons, even in this era, it is not a large ship, it is more convenient and easy to build, with the current technical strength of the Nanri Island shipyard, there is not much pressure to build a ship of this size.
And this kind of one hundred and fifty material ship, once built, the strength is not weak, slightly larger than the bird ship, but the firepower is much stronger, coupled with the advantages of its ship speed and flexibility, even if it encounters the Daifuku ship, it may not be able to win the battle, at least it has the ability to maneuver, it can fight if it can be beaten, and if it can't be beaten, it can be smeared with oil on the soles of the feet, which is very suitable for the use of sea wolves at the moment.
After discussing for a while, Guo Fu told Yu Xiaotiandao: "If you go back to the big house, if it is the same bird ship of one hundred and fifty materials, I will be able to build one within two months!"
But this ship has a lot of ribs, and we are not familiar with how to build it, so if it is built, I am afraid it will take at least four months! I hope you will forgive me! ”
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian felt that the time was a bit long, such a small ship, it would take four months, if he wanted to build a large number of such sloops, and then expand the hull, wouldn't it take longer?
He needed this dhow to expand his fleet at the moment, and for whatever it was for, it was urgent, and four months was obviously a bit too long.
So he frowned and shook his head, "Four months!" No way, no way! It's too long! I also know that you have never seen this type of ship, and it will definitely be slow to build it for the first time, but four months is still too long!
So be it, three months! I will give you three months to build the first one for sea trials, and after the main body of the first ship is built, we will start building the second one immediately, so that by the end of the year, we estimate that we will be able to build four or five!
It's not that I'm sorry for you, it's that time is running out, and we really can't afford to wait! You have to think of a way to speed up the speed! If there are not enough people, I will find a way for you, and if the materials are not enough, I will add materials to you! If you really can't do it, start work day and night at the same time! Shorten the construction period as much as possible!
If you can complete the trial voyage within three months, I will definitely be rewarded! Never break your word! ”
Although Guo Fu's face was embarrassed, he now saw that the craftsmen on the island, such as Zhang Blacksmith and Lei Blacksmith, as well as the gunpowder workshop and Liulichang, had all received a lot of rewards, and the craftsmen in their boat also felt a little blushing.
Some time ago, they had nothing to do, either to repair the existing ships and clean the bottom of the ships, or they were in a state of suspension, and the treatment was naturally not as good as that of the craftsmen of other workshops.
Now that they have finally waited for the time when they can show their talents, if they can't meet Yu Xiaotian's requirements, then won't they slap themselves in the face?
So Guo Fu and the others gritted their teeth and agreed, and stopped talking nonsense, and immediately carefully invited the ship model out of the boat, sent it to their shipyard to start measuring and cutting, and prepared to start construction.
Of course, before they took away the ship model, Yu Xiaotian still made a request to them, the construction skills and data of this kind of ship are also the highest technical secrets of the sea wolf, and only a few of their limited shipwrights are allowed to watch it, and the data is absolutely not allowed to be transmitted, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Guo Fu and others also hurriedly agreed, but for them, there is no need to say anything about this kind of thing, people like them eat by craftsmanship, and now they can learn a new ship-type construction technique, which is an undesirable thing for them, they are too late to keep it secret, how can it be spread that they will ruin their jobs in the future?
(I'm dizzy!) Brother Starry Sky, you have too much to give! What a shame it makes me! What a deserved! Thank you for the cold wind! No more nonsense! Two changes today! One more chapter in the afternoon! It's a special thank you to my brother! )
