104 Longmen Seaport
Yun Fan asked Zan Qing, "Is it our place, or is it the sea everywhere?" "If this place is in a special geographical position like the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, then it is understandable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zan Qing said: "I have inquired, other places are not much better, maybe in the north a little better, I heard that Xizhou, Qiangzhou in the northwest, Manzhou in the northeast and other places, the wind and waves are smaller." To the north, Youzhou Mozhou is connected to the ice field, which does not melt in all seasons and has no waves. ”
"Well, there are such big waves every day, do you know why."
"That's a matter of opinion. Some people say that the sea monster is caused by the wind and waves, and some people say that the sea is too big, and there are three feet of waves without wind, and there is no time when there is no wind on the sea. ”
"Has anyone seen a sea monster? How big is it? ”
"There are a lot of people who have seen it, the big ones are several miles long, the mountains are as high, and you can swallow a large river boat in one bite."
Yun Fan didn't take this as an exaggeration, there were huge creatures comparable to dinosaurs on land, and the creatures in the sea must be bigger. As for whether it is a whale, a shark, or some other unseen sea beast, it is unknown. In this way, it is really not easy to build a sea ship, no wonder Dongzhou has no sails to sea.
Yun Fan did not give up, and met with local resident representatives and officials in Longmen while inspecting the terrain.
Since Longmen Town was handed over from the Zhan family to the Dragon Kingdom, Yun Fan came here for the first time, and most of the local residents had never seen this new master.
The young Yun Fan was neither ostentatious nor jerky, and was amiable.
And since Yun Fan took over, the poll tax, agricultural tax, etc. are all exempted, only industrial and commercial tax is collected, and those who do not do business do not have to pay taxes, and they also enjoy the welfare treatment of Longguo residents, such as children can go to school for free, and the elderly who are lonely and widowed are raised by the state.
Therefore, Yun Fan was warmly welcomed by the residents of Longmen, which had never been a good master and official for thousands of years, and he really thought about their livelihood, rather than looting their meager surplus wealth as much as possible.
Yun Fan had no interest and energy to involve the specific affairs of Longmen Town, patiently listened to the various praises and opinions of the villagers, and turned his head to explain to Zan Qing to implement.
He called Yang Sui, the general manager of the local Yang's shipbuilding company in Shanglongmen, and asked him to lead the way and inspect the terrain along the coastline.
The exit of the Qinglong River is very open, and the widest point is four or five miles. However, the waves are not small, and you may encounter sea beasts, and you can't sail.
Longmen Wharf is about ten miles up at the exit, and it is already the water surface after the Qinglong River has turned a bend, and the water depth and width of the river may not accommodate large sea beasts.
Take a boat from Longmen to Longdanjin, it is best to set off in the morning, with the high tide of the sea, the Qinglong River poured more than 50 miles, and the reverse current became a downstream.
Longmen is on the west side of the Qinglong River, just like Longdanjin. So Yun Fan decided to survey the terrain of Jiangxi first.
The sea is intertwined with the land, with cliffs, reefs, and valleys, and there is little terrain suitable for people, or for building ports or factories.
All the way to the west, overnight in the mountains. The entourage set up tents in the leeward mountains and made fires to cook.
In all the entourage, there were a total of ten women, five each from the Bai family and the Li family, all of whom were left by Yun Fan in the Dragon Gate to protect Zan Qing's daughters.
These men can do physical work with them, but they are not good at cooking, not to mention the taste, and they are still half-cooked.
Yun Fan didn't dislike it, and the bosses could only swallow it with the desire to vomit.
These bosses are the most offended, their skills are not high, their physical strength is naturally poor, and they dare not say that they have crossed mountains and mountains.
As soon as Yun Fan revealed his meaning, the bosses immediately forgot about the pain and instantly became refreshed.
Yun Fan plans to build a large seaport near Longmen, and then build ships to go to sea.
Don't doubt Yun Fan's determination, what he wants to accomplish has not yet encountered failure.
This is a large-scale project that can be compared to an elevated road, and the prospect is very attractive.
There are five largest rivers in Dongzhou, which originate from the mountains around Zhongzhou and flow in all directions according to the mouth of the sea.
To the south is the Li River, to the west is the Chiqiu River, to the east is the Dongjiang River, to the north is the Nulong River, and to the northeast is the Tsing Yi River.
There are also countless navigable rivers of all sizes.
If there are sea ships that can travel around Dongzhou, then water transportation can easily and quickly achieve goods to the world. Not to mention the greatly increased carrying capacity, the cost has been greatly reduced, and the possibility of encountering thieves has also been greatly reduced.
Insert a foot in the construction of the harbor or participate in the future shipping company, and you can foresee how bright the future will be.
The next day continued, but unfortunately I never found a suitable place.
Yang Sui suddenly remembered that there might be a place on the east side of the Qinglong River that could satisfy Yun Fan.
Yun Fan just didn't want to go west, one was too far away from Longmen, losing the support of the Qinglongjiang River, and the difficulty of material transportation led to a decline in the efficiency of the harbor, and the other was further west, which was the enclave of the Zan family, if it could be taken from the Zan family, it would be the best, if it couldn't be taken, the safety of the port would have hidden dangers.
Everyone turned back to the east, took a boat upstream to cross the river, and after walking less than ten miles, Yunfan saw a miniature Bohai Bay. It is like a lake with a radius of dozens of miles, but the width of the exit connected to the sea is less than four miles.
"Okay, great, this is it." Yun Fan couldn't help but scream.
The waves in the bay are noticeably smaller than those in the open sea, but as the tide rises and falls, the water can vary by several meters in a single day. There is also a lot of work to be done on whether the water depth is appropriate, whether there are sea monsters in it, etc.
Yun Fan likes to act vigorously and resolutely, and immediately asked Zhang Xun to summon Peng Wei here.
In the army system that Yun Fan is preparing to form, there is a plan to establish a naval army that has never been established in Dongzhou, and Peng Wei is in charge.
The specific survey was handed over to Peng Wei, and the construction plan was discussed by Yun Fan and the bosses he brought.
At the outlet of the bay, how to build a windproof and wave embankment to further reduce the wind and waves in the bay, everyone has their own opinions. Around the bay, where can a large dock be built, where can a station be built, is it possible to dig a canal from the Qinglong River to here, etc. Before making a conclusion, Yun Fan solicited everyone's opinions extensively.
In the evening, back at Longmen, Yun Fan ordered Mingfeng to stop the construction of the outer wall of Longdanjin, and concentrate all the manpower that could be mobilized here to build for Yun Fan's new idea. If Mingfeng is willing, he can still be in charge of this huge project.
Yun Fan wanted to preside over it personally, but he didn't have that time, once this matter started to operate, he would go back to implement the plan of batch training of masters. There are few people in the Dragon Country, and it is impossible for the army to win by quantity, so it is only possible to be strong and sophisticated weapons, and all of them are cultivated into the nature of special forces, with one block ten or even one enemy hundred.
Yun Fan stayed in Longmen, kept listening to everyone's opinions, and constantly summoned relevant personnel from Longdanjin and even the whole country, as long as they knew water power, knew shipping, could build ships, knew how to build, and those who intended to come here were all dispatched.
This is the largest and most important engineering project in the Dragon Kingdom after the development of elevated roads and various cities. Youyun Fan personally planned here, and the recruits came like a tide.
The preliminarily identified projects are: 1. Twenty miles up the Qinglong River from Longmen, a canal will be excavated to lead here. Second, the elevated road from the dragon gate to here, and third, the large dock, the scale is larger than everyone imagined. Fourth, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and build a huge arc-shaped breakwater outside the exit.
Although the onshore project is huge and the materials required are huge, there are people with money and people, and there is no need to worry about whether it will be built well.
People are worried about sea vessels, and various suggestions have been made. Yun Fan laughed and said directly that it was going to be cast with steel, which scared everyone, iron is heavier than water, how can it float.
Yun Fan said that you have a misunderstanding in your thinking, and picked up a rice bowl casually, "This ceramic is heavier than water, you see." "Place the bowl flat on the water and the bowl does not sink.
Mingfeng still questioned, "This load capacity is not large, because the dead weight is too large." ”
Yun Fan said: "This is to calculate the specific gravity and volume. But you don't have to worry about this for now, I have a solution. "What Yun Fan wants is to go back and let Yun Hui design it, it is a supercomputer, and designing an aircraft carrier should be a piece of cake.
As for power, it is not prepared to use sails, and it is impossible to use people to support the boat and pull the fiber. Yunfan plans to use an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. These are the next steps, and the onshore project cannot be completed in a year and a half or even a few years, so there is no hurry.
It took almost a month for Yun Fan to arrange the construction of Longmen Port and prepare to return to Longdanjin.
Before he set off, there was a sudden and terrifying episode.
Finally, that night, Yun Fan walked around the bay, and there were not many people with him. Looking at the sea at night, imagining the huge steel ships coming in and out, I feel indescribably proud.
At this time, he suddenly faintly heard the roar of a leopard.
It's been more than half a year since I was separated from Yun Phantom Cloud Shadow, and I miss it very much.
At first, I thought it was a hallucination, but after listening carefully, it was a cloudy voice, and the roar was full of anxiety, anger, and pain.
Yun Fan was so shocked that he didn't have time to inform his subordinates, so he stood up and rushed quickly in the direction where the voice came from.
He couldn't think of a person or beast within the Dragon Kingdom that dared to do something to the Cloud Phantom Cloud Shadow and could cause damage to them.
If you are ruthless in your heart, whoever you are, you will be unforgivable, and you will make it pay a heavy price.
The phantom can be said to be his brother or child, except for his grandparents and Mingfeng, who are not as good as the status of the phantom in Yun Fan's heart.
During those lonely and painful five or six years, without the company of the phantom, Yun Fan estimated that he would either be crazy or dead.
The followers who followed behind chased after him, but his skills were much worse than Yun Fan's, and he couldn't even see Yun Fan's figure after a while.
Luo Yi, who came from the Bai family in Suihuli, was very smart, and asked one person to go back to report the news and recruit more people, because once Yun Fan couldn't deal with it, the three or five of them would not be able to resist, if everyone came and used the battle formation of Yun Fan Sect, there might be a chance to win. If Yun Fan can handle it, they are just an errand boy, and it doesn't matter if there is more or less. Luo Yi himself and the other three continued to follow in the direction of Yun Fan's running.
After crossing the two mountain peaks and running for nearly ten miles in a straight line, Yun Fan really saw Yun Fan. It was in a miserable state, and he had been beaten to the point of dying, but he was stubbornly guarding in front of Yun Ying and not retreating.
Cloud Shadow lay behind him, trembling and twitching, covered in blood.
Yun Fan was furious, but he was shocked, and the person who fought against Yun Fan was Wen Renda.
I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about this big threat.
Although he knew that he was invincible, Yun Fan did not hesitate at all, and shouted, "Wen Renda." And he pounced on him as quickly as he could.
