Fortunately, the craftsmen of the shipyard are not sloppy, these two boats are still quite good, after entering the cabin, the first feeling is that it is strong, and it is built with thickened materials everywhere, and the key load-bearing parts have also been reinforced, giving people a very safe feeling.

After adjusting the ballast stone, the hull immediately balanced, and there was a slight seepage in some places, which was also unavoidable, and it was possible to deal with it in a tethered state on the water without going to the slipway.

The overall situation of the ship is very good, Yu Xiaotian after a careful inspection from the inside to the outside, his face turned cloudy and clear, and he praised Guo Fu without hesitation, and after Guo Fu had an accident, he handled it properly, and brought people to rush up in time to stabilize the hull, without causing greater consequences, this kind of adventurous spirit must be commended.

At that time, if Guo Fu's reaction was a little slower and the command was wrong, the third boat would capsize if it was not done well, and Guo Fu would be the first to rush up after the accident.

This shows that Guo Fu has devoted himself to the boat, and he can't even take care of his life, which Yu Xiaotian was very moved, so he ordered on the spot to give Guo Fu a credit and a reward of silver, which is actually equivalent to making up for Guo Fu's three-month salary that was deducted, and giving some more rewards.

After Guo Fu heard this, he hurriedly thanked him again and again.

"Thank you don't have to, you still have to pay close attention to the shipbuilding, the ship on the No. 3 slipway should be straightened out of the water, and the standardized production should also be carried out quickly, and the next vacated slipway should be quickly put on the new ship, the current slipway utilization rate is not high, the first, second and third slipways are all slipways that can build large ships, and now only this kind of flying fast boat is built, which is really a bit too wasteful.

Just now I measured the length of the slipway with steps, just enough to place two flying clippers at the same time, just a little shorter, you have to think of a way, without spending too much manpower and material resources, try not to change the slipway, but also to be able to start two flying clippers on one slipway at the same time.

In this way, after the three slipways are vacated, the keels of six boats can be loaded at the same time, which should be solved as long as the calculation is more accurate.

In addition, if the standard workpiece production is used in the future, the shipbuilding speed can be doubled, and you must pay attention to this matter.

Once the work here is full, I plan to stop the work of producing Feizi clippers in the shipyard on Nanri Island, and be responsible for the transformation of our existing old ships in the future, and the shipyards on both sides will perform their own duties in the future, so that our fleet can become more powerful.

With the current speed of shipbuilding and the speed of refitting ships, the production capacity of the cannon is much higher than that of your shipyard, and the cannon built has to wait for the ship, which is really a waste! Yu Xiaotian waved his hand and said to Guo Fu.

When Guo Fu heard this, he didn't dare to agree immediately, but said that he would calculate it first, and immediately led his subordinates to start measuring on the vacated slipway No. 1 and No. 2, and after a while, they basically came to a conclusion.

The length of these slipways is just enough to fit the keels of two such dhows, but they are a little more compact, and there is almost no free space for the end to end, but as long as they are well grasped, they can still be constructed, but the bow of a ship cannot be installed before launching, and it must be installed after launching, otherwise it will cause an impact.

But on the whole, it is still possible to start two flying clippers at the same time on the same slipway, which they can basically do.

In addition, while renovating the slipway, it is only necessary to add a boom on the slipway to carry out production.

Yu Xiaotian was very proud that he could come up with such a solution, and now he wanted to squeeze the productivity of his various workshops to the extreme, and make as many things as possible while using the existing facilities.

In fact, the workload of the shipyard is quite full now, but in Xiaotian's view, the production efficiency of the craftsmen has not yet reached the requirements, the backward organization and coordination, a lot of productivity has been wasted, and many things cannot be carried out at the same time.

So how to fully mobilize manpower, so that it can reduce the waste of manpower as much as possible, is the next way he has to think, now the shipyard has begun to adopt the standardized production method, in the shore shed, first make a variety of standard parts used on the ship, and then assemble it on the ship, instead of using one to make one, which has improved the production capacity of the shipyard a lot.

If two boats were to be loaded on one slipway at the same time, it would be no problem for the shipyard to double its output without adding too much labor.

In this way, according to the current production speed, the five slipways of Chuanliao all adopt the production method of two ships at the same time, combined with the help of standardized parts production, almost every month in the future, almost two Feizi clippers can be launched, and more than 20 Feizi clippers can be produced in a year.

Although this dhow is not very suitable for use in ocean-going operations, it can be used, and most importantly, this kind of ship is flexible and easy to operate, fast, and extremely suitable for combat use on the sea surface of the coastal zone, and in the case of his lack of strength to carry out expeditions, this dhow is currently the most suitable type of ship.

As long as there are dozens of these dhows, the Seawolf can control a larger area of the sea, easily block the enemy's ports and river estuaturies, even if it is facing a large enemy fleet, such a fast fleet can play against it in a dignified manner, and will not be left behind.

Now the sea wolf wants to say that the force at sea is quite powerful, but Yu Xiaotian is not satisfied at all, he still feels that his strength is too weak, and hopes to continue to increase their combat strength.

Building new ships alone will not solve the problem quickly, and unless he has more resources and more financial resources, it is unrealistic to increase the number of new ships significantly.

So another solution for him is to rebuild the old ships he currently has in his hands.

Some time ago, he has tried to transform some Chinese sailing ships in the fleet in Nanri Island Shipyard, among these Chinese ships, some of the ships are still quite strong in hull structure, but because of the inherent structural defects, the Chinese sailing ships can not be equipped with more guns or heavier guns, and even the old-fashioned five or six hundred catties of hair can not be carried.

Therefore, in order to equip his ships with six-pounder guns and twelve-pounder guns, Yu Xiaotian initially made limited modifications to the Chinese sailing ships in his hands, and this limited modification was mainly focused on strengthening the deck and hull structure of the ship so that it could carry six- or twelve-pounder guns.

However, in the later patrols, training and operations, some problems were found, although these ships could be loaded with six-pounder guns and twelve-pounder guns made by Seawolf after reinforcement, but these guns were still loaded on the deck in the open air, first of all, maintenance was more troublesome, the concentration of salt spray at sea was high, and the iron cannons were easy to rust, and they had to be carefully wiped every day, and they had to be oiled for maintenance, and the consumption of manpower and material resources was large.

In addition, when the guns are concentrated on the deck, in case of bad weather, especially heavy rain, these guns may not be able to fire due to the influence of the weather, making them ornamental.

In order to maintain the center of gravity, it is necessary to load ballast stones for counterweight, otherwise the ship may capsize in bad weather and poor sea conditions.

For this they have already paid the price, the first few ships that were renovated have become victims, lost in bad sea conditions and capsized at sea, both for personnel and materials.

However, loading the ballast stone increased the dead weight of the ship, making the hull clumsy, slowing down the sailing speed, reducing the payload, and making the already not fast enough ship even more clumsy, which was even more unacceptable to Yu Xiaotian.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian decided to carry out a further transformation of these ships and completely solve these problems, which must be greatly modified and strengthened by the ships.

Some time ago, he had already asked Nanri Island Shipyard to do this, and he had renovated several fortune boats.

This further transformation, in addition to keeping the original hull main structure unchanged and sail rope structure unchanged, the rudder is completely transformed, the old rudder steering device is transformed into a steering wheel steering mode, and the helmsman is raised to the stern deck to operate the ship, so that the helmsman can directly see the situation in front of the bow, and the steering is simpler and more labor-saving.

At present, this modification has achieved good results, and several of the ships that have been modified are now running well, because the modification of the steering wheel mechanism has made the ships more flexible when maneuvering at sea.

In addition, the internal structure of these ships has been deeply transformed, and the guns have been transferred to the lower cabins, so that the trouble of open-air maintenance of the guns has been solved, and the weather is also much less affected.

In addition, this also greatly reduces the center of gravity of the ship, eliminating the need to load more ballast stones on the bottom bilge, reducing the dead weight of the hull.

However, this kind of transformation is relatively troublesome, and it is necessary to greatly strengthen the structure of the lower cabin, increase the thickness of the deck carrying the artillery, change the structure of the cabin inside the original hull, and reduce the ability of some ships to resist sinking.

In addition, because the guns were moved into the cabin, the gun windows had to be opened on both sides of the ship, which reduced the structural strength of the hull, and it had to be compensated.
