Chapter 363: Start Shipbuilding
Listening to Zhu Hao's words, Li Fei was more or less a little happy, and at the same time, his expression was extremely excited.
For him, it was clear that he was willing to build a big ship so far, whatever it took.
It's just obvious that it is obviously unrealistic to rely on his efforts alone, and Li Fei is not sure that he can make a good ship out of the situation alone.
After all, their current small boat should be outdated in all aspects, not only because of the problem of manned capacity, but also because of others, which often leak and are not very strong.
Such a ship can hardly withstand any disaster, and if it hits a reef, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will shatter at the slightest touch.
Now that there is a way to build a new ship, for Li Fei, there is naturally no reason to refuse.
And he always dreamed of owning a big ship, not just to satisfy his dream of being a captain.
On the other hand, it is clear that now that they are exploring the seas, they have a powerful ship, which will not only allow them to sail faster and safer, but more importantly, carry more supplies.
Even according to Li Fei's idea, after they set up a new camp, they opened a special route to Tacuo Island for use.
In this way, the two sides are equivalent to communication, and at the same time, they can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and deliver the materials they need to each other.
At that time, as the degree of exploration increases, the progress made will certainly be very impressive.
Thinking of this, Li Fei also couldn't help but stand in place and grin.
The others silently looked at Li Fei who was dreaming, and their eyes were quite strange.
"Is the captain dreaming again?" Li Han couldn't help but speak.
"He does this a lot, just get used to it." Liu Keying nodded and replied.
The merciless ridicule of the two also pulled Li Fei back to the real world in an instant.
Only then did he slowly come back to his senses and realize that it was too long ago to think about so many problems now.
After all, they haven't even taken the first step yet.
"I also know a bit about shipbuilding, so I can help." After Catherine learned about Li Fei's shipbuilding plan, she volunteered.
Li Fei raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised: "You are a woman, how can you still know how to build ships!?"
Then Catherine only looked at Li Fei with a little anger, and then spoke again: "Have you forgotten that I am an engineer?"
At this time, Li Fei suddenly realized that Catherine's previous profession was a female engineer, but unlike Zhao Xian, she was only accomplished in architecture.
Catherine has dabbled in almost every aspect of the industry, and can even be said to be proficient in the seafaring industry.
"I was responsible for the maintenance of the vessel, as well as some safety measures." Catherine's eyes seemed to have some brilliance at the moment.
Her sense of existence for so many days is really a little low, after all, Zhao Xian is in charge of many things on the island, and he basically doesn't need to worry too much. ap.
And for the rest, there will be no big things on the island, and even if there are some problems, they will be solved by the rest of the women.
Although she is a foreigner, at least she is quite good in the team, and she has not had a discordant relationship with any woman.
It's just that this makes it difficult for her to contribute to the team, which means that her role is not so obvious or even dispensable.
Although Catherine is not a very expressive person, it is clear that she does not want to be a woman without a sense of existence.
"Okay, the three of us are mainly responsible for the shipbuilding, and the others are responsible for collecting materials!" Immediately, Li Fei couldn't help but speak.
The rest of the people nodded, and they didn't linger too much, and they all dispersed around the island
I went looking for wood and other raw materials.
"We might as well put the blast furnace in order now, there are too many of these coral reefs, and it will be very difficult to put them there, so it is better to calcinate them sooner."
Zhu Hao suggested at this moment, after all, everyone knows that lime is a thing, and basically there will never be such a thing as deterioration.
It only needs to be stored reasonably in a dark and dry place.
Anyway, they are idle now, and the task of drawing drawings is naturally entrusted to Catherine, who is more professional in this matter.
Although Zhu Hao is good at manufacturing and hands-on, drawing is not a big man's strength after all.
Obviously, with the addition of Catherine as a professional, their situation has indeed really improved a lot.
At least Li Fei and Zhu Hao can free their hands and study the construction of the blast furnace!
So the two of them went together to find the right mud.
However, the weather on the island is a bit exaggerated, and it is now midday, almost like a steamer scorching their skin.
"To build a blast furnace in such a place, I think the temperature can reach at least 900 degrees, which should be a great news for us!"
Immediately, Zhu Hao said to Li Fei with some excitement between his words.
Although the latter was a little out of breath at the moment, he still said curiously: "Why?"
"The optimal temperature of the blast furnace should be around 900 degrees, so this is basically the most ideal manufacturing environment, not only the lime produced will be of higher quality, but also the speed will be improved to a certain extent."
After listening to Zhu Hao's explanation, Li Fei nodded and said he understood.
He had never thought that there were so many factors affecting the calcination of lime.
"I haven't used coral reefs to forge them, but I think this thing is so precious that it must have its own collectible value." Zhu Hao continued to speak.
"It's okay, money is something outside of the body, so let's experience the feeling of indulgence!" Li Fei smiled lightly and then continued to speak.
Zhu Hao nodded, stopped his joke, and the two of them began to search for mud and some other materials very seriously.
Fortunately, even though the temperature on the island is so exaggerated, there are still many places near the island where the soil is moist and can be easily dug out.
But the interior of the island has become a steamer at this moment, and almost staying in it is a great torment for every minute and every second, as if it is a great punishment for them.
