Do you have an opinion?" Zhang Tan was not happy, Mr. said that if you can, you must be able to, even if you are a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry, Lao Tzu is also a craftsman.

Xiao Man's face turned red, if it weren't for Zhang Tan's age, he would have scolded people a long time ago, and you are embarrassed to call yourself a god craftsman?

Iron!

Don't you understand, iron can't float on the water, and if you put it in the water, it will sink, regardless of whether it's a river or a lake or a sea, the result is the same.

Zhang Tan smiled silently, as a craftsman, after listening to Mr.'s guidance, although he was half-convinced, but after all, it was Mr. who said, and tried several times according to what Mr. said overnight, and it was all successful, this is incredible, the first time I saw it, the ship model made of thin copper and iron really floated on the water, even if I had prepared in advance, I was still shocked.

With a gesture of his hand, two disciples came behind him, carrying a ship made of brass, not only in the shape of a ship, but also in the deck, masts, and sails made of silk, and even the tail rudder and iron anchor.

This ship model was made by Zhang Tan himself, and since he became a craftsman, he has rarely done it himself. In the past two years, under the hands of Mr., he has built a lot of things, and he is only responsible for the most difficult part, in fact, it is all left to the disciples and grandchildren to create.

Don't look at this copper ship is extremely exquisite, in fact, there is really no technical content, you must talk about technology, maybe making such a thin copper plate, let him spend some thought, it is too easy to make a ship model.

"Little Manchurian, please take a look. Zhang Tan pointed to the copper boat and said.

"This ...... Is this a bronze ship?" asked Xiao Man in surprise, could it really float on the water?

Craftsmen are different from bachelors, craftsmen don't like to talk cannons, everyone compares the kung fu in their hands, since Zhang Tan dares to build a copper boat, I'm afraid it can really float on the water, and it doesn't take much time to try, Zhang Tan can't not try.

"Yes, this is an all-copper ship, the hull is made of brass all over the top, except for the sails, no other materials are used, please ask the little man to advise. ”

After speaking, the two disciples carried the copper boat to the beach, walked to a waist-deep place, slowly let go of their hands, and with the gentle shaking of the waves, the all-copper boat actually floated on the sea magically.

The sails were blown up by the sea, and the bronze ship took advantage of the wind to get faster and faster......

Xiao Man couldn't care about anything else at this time, rushed into the sea, he was a ship-builder, with excellent water quality, so he naturally wouldn't be afraid of the sea, and he caught up with copper and lead for a while, and kept swimming around the copper boat, his eyes were going to stick to the copper boat.

After swimming in the sea for half an hour, with the help of his disciples, he pulled the copper boat back to the shore and looked at Zhang Tan with a longing expression.

Zhang Tan nodded slightly, this bronze boat was originally used to confirm Mr.'s theory, and it was made by him casually, not a real sample ship, and it was dismantled when it was dismantled, so there was no pity.

Xiao Man's fingers are very long, flexible and not like human hands, in the eyes of ordinary people, this copper ship can't be seen how it is connected at all, and when it comes to his hands, it will be disassembled into a pile of parts in just a moment.

It's all copper, Xiao Man knew that it was impossible for Zhang Tan to deceive him, no matter how he said it, he was also a god craftsman, and he wanted to be faced.

Can...... But how could a ship made of copper float on water......

Half a month later, the first dry ship tungsten in Shengong City began to build the first pointed bottom sea ship, and this ship had a ship name before it began to be built, Renault personally ordered the name, and the Hope, of course, there was another name, Experiment No. 1.

Although the design length of this ship is only twenty meters, among the sea ships, it can only be regarded as a small guy, and it cannot sail at all, but it carries Renault's expectations and hopes.

Renault doesn't know how to build ships, Xiaoman doesn't know how to build iron ships, and he doesn't know how to start the first step. In the end, it is impossible to use the keel of the fine iron ship, and it is meaningless, at most, after the hull is built, the reinforcing ribs are poured.

How is the hull made?

It's very simple, Zhang Tan's old business, he was originally a master craftsman in smelting and manufacturing, since Mr. didn't know where to start, then use the method he was most familiar with.

The 20-meter-long, 3-meter-5-high hull could be cast as a whole, and in order to accumulate experience, it was dismantled in eight sections. Cast in sections first, and finally poured and welded.

In the project of building a fine iron ship, Renault has no good way, he only understands so much, everything that can be said has been said, when it is really time to make it, not to mention the two craftsmen, any little apprentice can kill Renault in seconds.

Renault, like most of the college students on Earth, has an okay ability to use his brain, and compared with the craftsmen of Dachu, he is definitely a scumbag, and he can't compare with others without the help of tools.

After looking at it for a few days, Renault left it alone, don't look at the small boat that is only twenty meters long, because it is experimental in nature, so the progress is not fast, hundreds of people have been casting day and night, and after three days, the casting of the hull part has just been completed.

Xiagou Village, Lantang County, Chunjiang Prefecture

If you have a map of the distribution of the Great Chu Naval Army, you will find that this is the dividing line between the Southern Naval Army and the Northern Naval Army.

Although they were both Great Chu naval armies, the relationship between the southern and northern armies was quite tense. The reason is simple, the military expenditure distributed by the court every year varies too much.

In terms of the number of ships and sergeants of the two naval armies, the difference is not very large, but the difference in military spending is more than 10 times.

The south is rich and the north is poor, and Da Chu has always been like this. The reason is simple, the south is not cold in winter, and winter crops can be planted, and two crops can be planted in a year.

Although the output of a single season is not as good as that of the north, the two seasons together exceed too much. In addition to food, there is also clothing, and the North needs significantly more clothing than the South.

Of course, there are many other reasons, such as the fact that the plants in the south are green all year round, and poultry and livestock can be raised.

From the natural conditions, you can see the difference between the north and the south, with so many convenient conditions, the south is richer than the north, shouldn't it?

The rich in the south and the poor in the north are not only the people, but also the officials and the army. The southern navy received 10 times the military expenditure of the north, but the actual expenditure was as high as 30 or even 50 times.

The Southern Navy has new ships launched every year, and these new ships are not from the Ministry of Industry of Dachu, and they can't be approved when they are reported, and now the Dachu Dynasty is too poor.

The southern navy has its own way to get money, escorting caravans, fighting pirates, and even carrying smuggled goods, there are many ways, anyway, when they get to the sea, they can only do things according to their conscience.

For example, the question of who is a pirate is understood differently by the captain of each warship, and it is usually more likely that a ship with a relatively wealthy background will harbor pirates......

The days of the Northern Naval Army......

If you really don't mention it, the ragged clothes are just a trivial matter, and the problem of the battleship is a big one. Not only is there no new ship, but even the maintenance of the old ship is a problem, two words: no money!

Every year, the court pulls out the military expenses to the northern navy, which is free enough to support the navy, if there are generals and officers working together, it is a question whether the navy can eat enough, not to mention maintenance, going to sea for drills, it is all.

In fact, the number of the northern navy is only 30% of the roster, and the remaining 70% are empty, even so, there are still more than half of the navy, only two meals a day, and they may not be full.

At this time, three miles away from the coast of Xiagou Village, a warship anchored and stopped, and a group of sailors wearing broken battle armor dragged out the fishing nets and threw them into the sea under the command of the deputy captain.

Don't look at the seaside here, the seaside of Xiagou Village is not extraordinary, usually close to the shore, the water is very shallow, but here is different, the seaside of Xiagou Village, is straight up and down, the previous step is only waist-deep, and one step is like a cliff, and the sea water is hundreds of meters deep.

Don't think that by the sea, there are endless fish, in fact, the fishermen are not rich, there are very few fish in the offshore water, even if there is, they have already been caught by generations of ancestors, people are not stupid, who doesn't know that eating fish can fill the stomach, and can be left to you?

Of course, there are fish in the open sea, and they don't need to be too far, as long as they are fifty miles from the shore, there are ten times more fish in the sea than on the shore. But it requires a larger boat, and ordinary fishermen only have a small boat a few meters long, and if they force themselves there, the probability of an accident will increase dozens of times, and a big wave can break the boat into pieces.

Unless you really can't survive anymore, you don't have a big boat, and no matter how experienced a fisherman is, you don't want to go deep into the sea.

"Brother Four Dogs, it's only three miles from the shore, can we make a net here? We are a battleship, why don't we go fishing in the deep sea?" spoke a young man who had just turned from another battleship this morning.

Why turn around?

The battleship sank, it was originally a problem, and there was no money to maintain it, but it was scraped on the reef, and the ship's board was broken in a large piece, and when the sailors bravely wanted to save it, they were not in a hurry.

Fortunately, the warships of the Northern Navy were similar to the fishermen's boats, and they never went to the deep sea, and although the warships sank, the people on board swam and returned to the shore.

Everyone is a brother, so naturally they can't just watch it and divide the people on the boat, at least they have something to eat.

The court doesn't care, and the general can't help it, so he turned a blind eye to the matter of fishing with naval warships and went with them.

"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Xiaolan said, just put the net here, just listen. The old sailor, who was called the Four Dogs, glanced at the newcomer with disdain, and dared to doubt Captain Xiaolan's words!

Captain Xiaolan is a celebrity in the Northern Navy Army, and his reputation has been spread in the past six months. Lan Bing is only fourteen years old this year, and she is only a child, and her father is the real captain of the ship, with more than 180 men, begging for a living at sea.

Lan Guangzu is a good man, not only is his own strength very strong, but he also didn't say anything to his brothers, if he has a bite to eat, his brothers are indispensable.

Half a year ago, when he encountered a giant fish in the open sea, Lan Guangzu gritted his teeth and ordered a pursuit, shooting fish with a crossbow on the bed of the warship.

But giant fish are so easy to catch?

Facts have proved that with an old warship that has been in service for 20 years beyond its age, it can't fight a giant fish at all.
