Chapter 124: Divided into Eight Floors

Zheng He's treasure ship, on the deck, thousands of people stood here, all of them seemed extremely empty.

After getting on the ship, Zhu Zi released all the people equipped in Zheng He's treasure ship, and with the addition of the seven people on the ship, there were thousands of people here.

But Zheng He's treasure ship is too big, although there are more than a thousand people here, it won't feel a little crowded.

This is an impossible situation on the previous warship, before the change, more than 1,000 people sat on one ship, and it is estimated that it has been crowded.

"Handsome!"

Zhu Zi looked at the environment on the deck and couldn't help but admire.

There is a majestic tiger head relief on the front of the bow, a solemn dragon relief or painted on the front of the two sides, a phoenix painted on the rear, and a bird with wings spread above the stern plate.

To be able to have such exquisite reliefs and paintings on the ship, it is none other than Zheng He's treasure ship.

According to the boatman's mouth, the activity space on the deck is divided into two parts, front and rear, and the bow has a forward cabin 1 floor, which is mainly the place where the sailors on board live and work.

"You guys are free, I'll go shopping too."

After explaining, Zhu Zi walked down the steps and went down.

Such a big ship must have something inside, it can't be as simple as the surface, and there should be a lot of things inside.

The fourth floor is the first floor from the top to the deck, and it is also the first floor that Zhu Zi walked down and passed.

There are 20 gun emplacements on both sides of the ship's side on this floor, and I briefly asked the crew on the ship, the space in this is where the soldiers and junior officials live, and everyone has a lot of space for them to rest, and then there is the deck above.

I walked through the second and third floors all the time, and I didn't see anything new.

A general look at these two floors is two large cargo compartments 80 meters long, 36 meters wide, and 2 meters high, which are used for carrying cargo and food. These two cabins are the "supply hubs" of the entire voyage.

Such a large supply center, filled with grain, can support the sea route for several years on the premise of ensuring that it is not bad, and the space is definitely large enough.

To the most underground layer, there is nothing, the ground is all sand and gravel, in order to ensure the stability of the ship, the bottom layer is all placed with sand and gravel, commonly known as ballast.

With such a large ship, it is really not as easy as it is to sail on the sea, and there is so much sand and gravel to be placed underneath, which is really painful for the people who made Zheng He's treasure ship, how many ways did they think of to successfully let Zheng He's treasure ship sail safely on the sea.

"Your Highness, there is nothing to visit down here, I will take you to Zheng He's treasure ship, a really powerful place."

A crew member, said enthusiastically.

There is nothing to visit here, but His Highness wants to come down for a walk, so they have to come with His Highness.

"Oh? What's really powerful? ”

"Take me there!"

When Zhu Zi heard this, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he hurriedly spoke.

He also thought that what he had just seen, that is, all of Zheng He's treasure ship, was shocking enough, but he hadn't seen the real power of Zheng He's treasure ship yet.

Sure enough, Zheng He's treasure ship is Zheng He's treasure ship, and it is not as simple as he imagined.

Soon, the group of them returned to the deck, and when they arrived on the deck, Zhu Zi was still full of doubts, how could they return the same way? Shouldn't the really powerful place be down there? How did you bring him back.

"The "brain" of the entire fleet "is on the rudder in the stern of the treasure ship. ”

"Your Highness, you come with me."

Just when Zhu Zi was full of doubts, the crew next to him also explained.

As he spoke, he walked forward with Zhu Zi.

"This rudder has four floors, and where we are now, on the first floor, is the helmsman's operation room and the medical officer's infirmary."

The group walked into the helm tower, and the crew member who led the way continued to introduce.

"Operator's room and infirmary?"

Some people have a different feeling, there are tour guides and tour guides, which are completely two meanings, and the importance of the operation room and the infirmary is beyond doubt.

The operation room is equivalent to the limbs of the ship, controlling the movement of the ship, is an indispensable part, the infirmary is also very important, if you are sick at sea, you are facing the endless sea, if you want to treat it as soon as possible, it will definitely not work without the infirmary, otherwise there is only a dead end.

Even Zhu Zi's previous fleet was equipped with a lot of ship doctors, and there were no ship doctors on every ship, and there were no ship doctors when they went to sea, either they were lucky enough not to get sick, or they just died.

"The second floor is called the official hall, which is where middle and high-ranking officials and envoys from various countries live and work."

After a brief stroll around the first floor, Zhu Zi also came to the second floor.

The second floor is very high, the official hall, the place where the executives are still qualified to stay, the environment inside is not too good, the entertainment facilities, everything is here, very comprehensive.

What surprised Zhu Zi the most was that in the middle, there was also a big fish tank, which raised a lot of fish, I have to say, I really would enjoy it, on the sea, I also built a fish pond to raise fish, which is really idle.

"There's nothing to see here, just keep going."

Zhu Zi waved his hand, his mind was already on the third floor.

He wasn't interested in these things, he preferred practical things, and as for these bells and whistles, he didn't want to look at them a few more times.

"The third floor is a shrine dedicated to the gods of Mazu, and there are 4 yin and yang officials who are specially managed."

As soon as I walked up, there was a solemn and sacred feeling on the dark side.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Zi was not surprised at all.

Mazu is the god of the sea in China, and when sailing on the sea, he must first worship Mazu before the ship sets sail, pray for blessings and safety, and set up a Mazu shrine on the ship.

Zhu Zi didn't know this knowledge before, and it was only after coming to Qiongzhou that he learned about this statement.

So seeing this scene, it is not surprising at all, it is normal for such a large ship to have such a shrine.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zi paid tribute in front of the gods of Mazu in accordance with the memorial method he had learned.

Since I came, I want to pay tribute to the walking, which is a respect for Chinese culture and a little more peace of mind.

"Let's go."

Zhu Zi walked down the stairs and continued to walk up.

The fourth floor, the top floor, the top floor of the rudder, is also the highest place where they can go up.

"At the top of the rudder tower are the places for command, meteorological observation, signal liaison and so on. On the deck between the front and rear buildings, in addition to the guns and sail winch, there is also a special space the size of two basketball courts, which is specially reserved for practice activities. ”

Not long after coming up, the crew who followed from behind made another introduction.
