Chapter 13: Inventing the Slipway
Taking advantage of the daytime, everyone hurriedly built private houses to prevent them from being left without shelter at night. Anyway, wood and stone, Li Tang and Roaring Sky Dog prepared a lot of them in those days, and they also bought a lot www.biquge.info of cotton and iron.
Li Tang was tired of eating seafood and snake meat for many days in a row, and remembered whether he killed the wild wolves last night, so he immediately took a few people to find those wild wolf corpses.
But when I arrived at the place, there were blood stains all over the ground, not to mention the corpses of wild wolves, and even the intestines could not be seen. Li Tang regrets it!
Through the giant snake, Li Tang knew that in this game, the prey was still very valuable. If nothing else, let's just talk about fur, it is estimated that it can be worth a lot of money. Even in reality, a wolf skin is expensive. If I had used the Qiankun Bracelet to take them all away yesterday, it wouldn't have been like this!
I had heard that when a wolf was killed, its corpse would be eaten by its companions, and it seemed to be true.
Since he pounced, Li Tang had no choice but to take the roaring dog to the market, and only in the market did Li Tang feel that he was not playing alone.
Li Tang saw rice, noodles and other things at the God of Wealth Altar, all of which were sold, and there were many weapons, all of which were not expensive, a red tassel gun was only 30 copper plates, a sharp waist knife was also 60 copper plates, and a straight sword was only 100 copper plates! So Li Tang came back with equipment and weapons to protect the village, and bought some rice and noodles by the way.
So I chose 50 red tassel guns, 30 waist knives, 10 iron bows, and 5 crossbow bows, all of which were whiteboard weapons, as well as 1,000 catties of rice and 1,000 catties of noodles. After choosing, as soon as the bill is checked, a sweet female voice prompts:
"The total amount of items is 12,300 copper plates, and the shipping fee is 10 gold coins, do you want to pay now?"
Li Tang immediately heard the sound of his own eggs breaking, Nima, living in a remote mountainous area, is it my fault? Such an expensive shipping fee is 10 times the price of the goods!
This hateful little witch, Li Tang still can't help but slander the root cause of all this pain. Forget it, just these guys and three, they will cost 100,000 yuan, and they are reluctant! Wait a minute! See what else you need, wait for more, buy together, and estimate the shipping cost is also this price.
The depressed Li Tang had no choice but to return home. Since you're not happy to watch this, let's watch something happy!
Li Tang returned to the ancestral hall and opened the Linhai Village attribute interface:
Village Name: Linhai Village (the first village in the world)
Village Chief: Ye Liangchen
Deputy village head: Ye Biao
Features: Blessing of the Sea God (Diamond Level) - the children of the Sea God who love the sea the most......
The first village in the world (special) - a well-known village in the world, which has great attraction to homeless people, special talents, unmastered strategists, and unowned generals.
Manjushri's Blessing (Diamond) - A ,...... who can receive the blessing of the God of Wisdom
……
Population: 154
……
Yes, there are already 154 people again, and it won't be long before it will exceed 1,000 people, hahaha...... It's a pity that Li Tang is happy early, how can such a good thing happen every day? The Lord God said, "Nima, you think it's easy to get together a boatload of people who have scolded me!" ”
Li Tang looked at the attributes of the village, and then pressed the stele, immediately showed the attributes of each villager, a cursory look, immediately laughed, the original 150 new people, there are 8 A-level qualifications, 43 B-level qualifications, 34 C-level qualifications, and 65 D-level qualifications.
It seems that the quality of this boat of people is very high, and with the original attribute bonus of Linhai Village, it has become what it is now! Among them, 116 are males and 34 are females, all of whom are family members.
What made Li Tang even more excited was that one of these people was a senior businessman, the one who was willing to be Ye Biaotuo in order to keep his belongings. And it is also an A-level qualification, with good intelligence.
There are also 4 mid-level traders, 16 junior traders, and a number of women and children as their dependents.
These people's qualifications are really good, there are 2 A-grades, the others are B-level, C-level, and there is not even a D-level, it seems that the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make a hole!
Another baby is a C-level qualified junior doctor, that is the doctor on board, and he is also a sailor, with which there is no problem with the junior doctor.
And there are 4 junior carpenters, all of whom are sailors and carpenters, and they are also necessary manning on the ship, especially the wooden boat, which must be carpenters, so the junior carpentry workshop workshop has also been settled.
As for the tailors, there are also 3 of them, one intermediate tailor, two junior tailors, and the two junior tailors are also sailors, and the sailboat is bound to be equipped with tailor skills, or who do you think will make up for the broken sails on the ship?
Cook? Absolutely, the fat-headed and big-eared one is not an intermediate chef! You can live without a captain on board, but you can't live without a chef! If there is no chef, everyone will drink the northwest wind! So the chef has a whole bunch!
Quite a few of them are junior chefs. Cooking is a very common life skill! There are several sailors and cooks alone. After all, the food of more than 100 people must not rely on the chef alone, and the second and third chefs must help.
As for the blacksmith, there is no more than a junior blacksmith, with A-level qualifications, or a part-time sailor.
Speaking of which, the blacksmith on the ship is dispensable, but some carpenters are smart and learn blacksmith skills part-time. So the young man in his 20s was both a sailor, a junior carpenter, and a junior blacksmith.
As for the rest, some were ordinary sailors, fishermen, and farmers.
It seems that the system treats itself really well, and so many special talents have come at once, and the territory construction is more than enough. In fact, there is no way to the system, who let Linhai Village be built on the sea, and can only use this method to send people over, without this method, can you use a tornado to blow people over?
Just using the boat can not be without the above-mentioned staffing, and it is not possible to simply put some farmers and fishermen, otherwise it will be difficult to justify itself! Could it be that the Lord God said, "Yes, they have all scolded me!" ”
It's a pity that there is no junior shipbuilder that Li Tang wants the most, with a shipbuilder, you can build a dock, and with a dock, you can build a ship. In this way, the connection with the mainland is one step closer! In fact, Li Tang is not only a shipbuilder, but also lacks dock drawings!
Now it seems that upgrading to a small town is no longer a luxury, basically the primary market has been built, as for the bun shop, the junior tailor shop, the primary grocery store, the junior inn, the primary medical hall, the junior blacksmith shop, the junior carpentry workshop, and the militia camp can now be built.
There is a shortage of horses in the primary post station, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be built for a while. Of course, it is estimated that it will take a lot of money to build them all, and only 200,000 units of iron and 100,000 units of cotton are enough to spend those 200 gold coins!
Looks like this game is really expensive! When I haven't entered the game yet, haven't I heard that some game veterans give rookies literacy to talk about how to lose money if you fight monsters in the game?
I finally killed two bosses, and I didn't give a copper plate, and the system was too stingy!
But Li Tang really wronged the system, you really can't lose equipment, money, etc. when you fight monsters in this game, unless you fight humanoid monsters or humanoid monsters.
You said you killed a rabbit and dropped a sword, what is that? As for why the village building order was dropped, Jiyun Zhiwu, it was actually rewarded by the system, not by the boss.
Seeing this, Li Tang found Ye Biao and explained that he would first build the militia camp and transfer some villagers to soldiers, in case something happened, he could also block one or two.
Of course, there is no need for Li Tang to explain, Ye Biao has already arranged the people properly, for example, the tailor did not go to help the fishermen organize the net in advance, the farmers first went to reclaim some wasteland and prepared to grow some food, and the others either went to the beach to collect some ingredients, and went into the water with good water quality to pick some coral, pearls, etc., or helped build some buildings.
Anyway, except for Li Tang and the Roaring Sky Dog, everyone else was in full swing and busy, and the whole village became a big construction site. Ye Biao's demagogic skills, it is estimated that the proficiency is not low!
Since there was nothing to do, Li Tang wanted to find something to do. In retrospect, in reality, shipbuilding was basically not built in a dockyard.
Because of the high cost, low efficiency. At that time, China, as the largest shipbuilding country, could build ships on any beach, and a few buddies who crowded the bus said that we should build a shipyard in total (the author's personal experience)!
The shipbuilding industry, which used to be very mysterious and highly technological, has suddenly become an industry with no technical content than farming. The farmer puts down the hoe and picks up the welding torch, and that's the shipbuilder! In the past, when a 10,000-ton ship was built, CCTV news broadcasters had to boast about it for many days.
Now an 80,000-ton ship can be built casually on a tidal flat, without pressure. They don't use docks to build ships, you must know that any dock, the cost is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it takes a lot of time to dig a dock, and at the same time, the dry dock is leaky, and the risk of floating dock is high.
As long as there is a site for slipway shipbuilding, it is best to have a small slope, you can build a ship.
So what Li Tang wants to do is that the dock can't be built without drawings, but is it feasible to build a slipway? Something that needs to be tried, and it can't be done without trying!
Therefore, Li Tang found a seaside with a relatively smooth slope, and began to fill in the mound of earth, preparing to build an inclined slipway, which is about 20 meters long and 3 meters wide.
Through the Qiankun bracelet to transfer the mound, it is also a day to complete the pile of the inclined slipway, pour water, wait for the water to penetrate into the soil layer, after the surface is slightly dry, with the processing of a huge stone mill for repeated rolling, a slope is not very large platform is established.
With the platform, Li Tang called two carpenters and a dozen other laborers to help. When everyone heard that they were preparing to build a ship, they were all very excited, thinking that the lord was thinking about them and helping them return to land.
Li Tang recalled that modern shipbuilding usually uses welding to connect different plates into a ship. This is a wooden ship, it must not be welded, even if it can be welded, there must be electricity, and there is a welding machine.
Ancient Chinese wood-made ships generally used wooden nails to splice plates, nail curium reinforcement, twisted material filling, etc., and foreign countries also used giant keels, rib fixation, and even lap connection methods. In modern times, riveting is used to connect ships into ships.
In summary, ancient and modern shipbuilding, unless it is a canoe, the others are spliced into a shell-like container to ensure that the container does not leak.
Now it is a wooden ship, and how is it built? Talking about the main hull alone, the ancient Chinese wooden boat, using shovel nails, shovel nails, leech nails, etc., so that the complex wooden structure can be easily put together, hung and reinforced together through various ship nails, so as not to "fall apart", and add more watertight compartments.
The advantages are good sinking resistance, linear smoothness, light empty ships, large load capacity, the disadvantages are cumbersome processes, the overall strength and local strength are not high, and because of the watertight cabin, the center of gravity of the cargo is higher, which is not conducive to the stability of the ship, and often requires ballast stones, which reduces the cargo capacity in disguise.
For foreign ships, the giant keel, the ribs are fixed but strong, and the production is not so cumbersome. However, it is more bulky, the material requirements are high, and it takes a long time to prepare the materials, which can be used for reference. There are also some ships that are riveted and connected, resulting in a smooth surface of the ship and greater resistance in the water.
To sum up, Li Tang decided to use a giant keel, and the outer plate was riveted and connected. However, the riveting is treated by a special process, so that the outer surface of the riveting is flat, the inner surface is convex, and the connection is fixed with small rib lengthened rivets. The appropriate position assumes that the transverse compartment is located, and the bow, stern, and bottom of the two sides are each provided with watertight compartments to ensure a certain degree of sinking resistance.
Although such a ship is nondescript, and the material processing is very problematic, even the ship's ribs have to be dried and bent for several years, and the riveting joint treatment is extremely wasteful of materials, almost twice the amount of outer board planks. However, all these problems are not a problem for Li Tang, he has a Qiankun bracelet that is simply a cheat, it is very easy to process materials in it, what materials that need to be dried in the shade, materials that need to be bent, are not a problem.
As for the special shape of the wood board joints, there is no problem and there is no problem of wasting a lot of material. Because in ancient times, because the tools were not good, they would be wasted, and the processing of the Qiankun bracelet did not require tools, so it was naturally not wasted. The only drawback of the material produced in this way is that it is not durable.
The overall line shape of the ship made like such a cheating is extremely smooth, and the outer surface is very smooth, like sandpaper finely polished, which ensures that the ship encounters less resistance to water. The use of a giant keel structure ensures the total longitudinal strength of the ship. The wooden planks are lapped, the ribs are riveted, and the transverse compartment is set to ensure the local strength and transverse strength.
The limited watertight compartment can not only prevent most of the damage (the vast majority of ship damage occurs in the bow, stern and broadside), but also ensure that the center of gravity of the ship is not too high, and improve the effective loading capacity of the ship.
Under Li Tang's guidance, it took almost 8 days for everyone to basically complete the construction of a ship.
Of course, this speed is quite fast, after all, people do not need to process materials, nor do they need to drill rivet holes, the material error is very small, and it is relatively easy to assemble, and it is not a nest. Workers only need to put the materials in place in order and nail the rivets.
Speaking of the era of crazy shipbuilding in China in later generations, some shipyards have mastered the unsurpassed shipbuilding that Japan and South Korea have already played very skillfully, and the efficiency has increased by two or three times! It may take 4 hours for a project to assemble without margin, manpower and crane to cooperate, but with margin assembly, it may take two full days to meet the standard, which sometimes does not matter, but sometimes it can determine the duration of the entire project. This shows the importance of material processing.
The ship has a shape, sails, rudders, all of which are not too difficult, and I am afraid that the system will not allow the hull to be built.
Now the ship has not collapsed like building a house, and now it has entered the most critical stage of ship launching, and what Li Tang is most afraid of is that the ship will sink into the water or disintegrate in the water as soon as it is in the water. But no matter how scared you are, you have to try.
Li Tang found some logs of similar diameter and spread them on the slipway under the hull, and the slipway and logs were covered with smooth silt to ensure that the ship could slide down. The tense moment is coming, Li Tang is tired enough these days, not that Li Tang is physically tired, but mentally tired.
You must know that all the materials these days are basically processed by Li Tang, although Li Tang has a certain grasp of the internal space of the Qiankun bracelet, and can even control some rules, but these are extremely painstaking, especially the use of the Qiankun bracelet space for fine processing, especially the mind. Otherwise, the Qiankun bracelet can be used for unlimited money.
Li Tang gave an order, and everyone opened the small door under the pier wood one after another. The sand in the hollow part of the pier base slowly flows out of the sand outlet under the pressure of the movable pier pile, and the supporting hull slowly descends to the log with the flow of sand. The crowd then removed the timbers.
With a voice Ye Biao said: "Cut the cable." Ye Hui, who was at the top of the slipway, cut off the bow cable of the boat with a knife, and everyone pulled the cable, shouted in unison, and let go of the cable after pulling the boat out of an initial velocity.
The boat began to slide, and finally slipped faster and faster, and rushed into the sea. Watching the boat enter the water, Li Tang's heart jumped to his throat, that is, excited and worried. After all, this is one of my own works!
But what Li Tang feared did not happen. The ship floated steadily on the surface of the sea, and it seemed that the ship was recognized by the system. Li Tang immediately ordered the sailors to drive the surviving dinghy to catch up with the new ship, drop anchor, and tie it to the shore.
At this time, Li Tang heard the long-lost system prompt on the boat:
World System Announcements:
Congratulations to players in Greater China for building the first self-created building on the whole server, and rewarding you to increase the level of the building by 3! Increases the player's reputation by 10,000.
System Prompt: Congratulations on creating a new building, the Beginner Slipway, as a reward for upgrading the slipway to a Premium Slipway. Since the building was created by you, you will have a patent for the construction of the slipway for 30 years, and others will not be able to make the slipway without drawings.
In the slipway drawing room, 1 special slipway drawing, 2 advanced slipway drawings, 3 intermediate slipway drawings and 5 low slipway drawings can be drawn every month.
System Prompt: Congratulations on comprehending the skill shipbuilding, as the second player in Greater China to comprehend the skill, upgrade the skill proficiency to high, and reward the intelligence attribute +2.
Li Tang looked at the slipway again, and the slipway had undergone earth-shaking changes. The first is that the place where they stood was no more than 50 meters above the flat ground, and the ground became a whole hardstone slab, and the slipway was much wider, almost 80 meters wide, and the length extended from the top to the sea, a total of more than 500 meters.
There are also some tall wooden fixed trusses around it, the trusses are hung with wooden pulley sets, the bottom of the slipway is a huge warehouse, and there are many more buildings around it, such as drawing paper, air drying room, lofting room, tung oil room, ironwork room, carpentry room, processing room, canvas room and so on hundreds of rooms with various functions.
Seeing this, Li Tang was so excited that he almost fainted! It seems that everything good has fallen on his head, and it is the first again! In fact, this is not to say that Li Tang is particularly smart, or that Li Tang is very lucky, there are some accidents in it, and some are bound to be in it!
Li Tang's ability to build a slipway is related to Li Tang's talent. When Li Tang entered the game, he got a shipbuilding talent, without this talent, the ship built by Li Tang would definitely collapse when it was built, and it would sink when launched, which is a prerequisite for the system.
And it's not that if you have the talent, you can just make anything, and the system will admit it.
First of all, this thing must be basically reasonable.
Secondly, this thing can't go beyond technology too much, and it can't be something that was not available in ancient times.
Third, the game does not allow the development of technological civilization and mechanical civilization, and you definitely can't add a steam engine to the ship.
So this can be done, just like the song sings: "Everything is providence, everything is fate, and it is doomed after all." ”
As for why no one else has built anything, in fact, the average player is busy fighting monsters, leveling up, learning skills, making money, playing, etc., and basically don't think of building things.
Besides, even if the player wants to build a building, he can't build it without territory! If it's not your territory, you can dig a deep pit in the street with a sketch of a well?
Is this possible?
It's strange to say.,Li Tang is in the game.,The game time has been a month.,During the period, it's the fastest speed that can be reached.,And his stand-in has also communicated.,But so far there is no second system announcement.,The notice says that the second village has been established.。
Li Tang checks the properties of the slipway:

Seeing that so many and such big ships could be found at once, Li Tang smiled proudly in his heart! But seeing the limitations of construction, Nima wants so many engineers? What other levels of materials are there? What's that?
