Li Chenan didn't know what was happening behind him.

Under the protection of the four Amu, he was walking towards the lake.

Zou Huanzhang's family, who followed Li Chen'an, was actually scared at this time.

Zou Huanzhang is already in the year of ear shun.

His eldest son, Zou Jiahui, is in his forties.

Even his eldest grandson, Zou Zhipeng, is twenty-five years old.

Zou Zhipeng walked cautiously, while glancing at Li Chenan's back from time to time, his mood was quite complicated.

This complication is not what just happened.

As the eldest grandson of the Zou family in Linshui City, Zou Zhipeng has a deep attainment in shipbuilding.

He not only inherited the shipbuilding craftsmanship of the Zou family, but also made many innovations in the original craftsmanship. Regarding shipbuilding, even in the Zou family, even if it is grandfather Zou Huanzhang, many times you have to listen to his opinion.

In the shipbuilding industry of Ningguo, he is a real authority with real talent and learning.

A research-oriented craftsman like him, he is so conceited about his craft that he is so conceited that no one will allow anyone to question it!

He was also so obsessed with shipbuilding that he didn't care about anything else.

Even if it was the life and death of the regent, it only worried him for a moment at that time, and since the regent had saved the day, all he wanted was to build a ship.

As the most famous shipbuilding family in Ningguo, their ideal is to build the best warship, which is to restore the former glory of Zou Mansion.

When the regent came to Watertown, he met his grandfather.

When Grandpa returned, he smiled and talked about the time he met the regent.

Grandpa said that the Zou family had finally waited for a good opportunity, and the regent wanted to restart the dock in the waterfront port, and to build a new warship to revive the sailors......

This is of course a first-class event for Zou Fu!

So much so that the Zou Mansion almost stayed awake last night.

Of course, Zou Zhipeng was also very excited.

This is his chance to shine!

The new warship of Zou Mansion was designed by him in the early years, but it is a pity that Ji Tai did not put his mind on the sailor at all.

Ning's national strength has also become weaker and weaker over the years, and the treasury simply does not have extra silver to support the construction of new warships.

He was extremely disappointed.

I thought that those hard-earned drawings could only be sealed, but now there is new hope.

Touching the drawings of the new warships in his arms, Zou Zhipeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hoping that the regent of Shixian would understand his explanation of these drawings......

I guess he doesn't understand.

After all, shipbuilding and writing poetry and articles are two things that are incompatible.

He only hoped that the regent would not pretend to understand, not command indiscriminately, and leave the professional matter of shipbuilding to the professional people of the Zou family.

In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort!

Originally, he was a little worried, but now Zou Zhipeng is a little relieved.

After all, such a big thing that happened just now, the regent can pass it in one stroke, and he can quickly put down the matter and go to the dock, which shows that in the regent's heart, he has not let go of this serious matter.

This also shows that he attaches great importance to shipbuilding, and may not point fingers indiscriminately.

Obviously, Zou Zhipeng was thinking too much.

At this moment, Li Chen'an, who was walking silently all the way, was searching for his memory.

He didn't know how to build a dockyard.

He also didn't know how to build a warship.

But I had seen it in a previous life.

It's just that those things from the previous life obviously don't fit into this world.

In the previous life, it was a highly industrialized society, and here ...... But it is still an extremely backward era.

Huge machines can't be made.

Then you can only learn from it.

After all, it is also a civilization that is thousands of years ahead of this world, and there is always something to be desired.

I can put forward some suggestions, maybe I can enlighten the thinking of craftsmen like Zou, and maybe I can promote the faster progress of the shipbuilding industry.

Shipbuilding is a big deal!

In such a world, water transport is the most efficient and least costly mode of transportation.

In addition, the warships that are far ahead of other countries can escort the future large shipping, and secondly, they can ...... It can not only defend the homeland, but also bring firepower suppression to the enemy countries that can be reached if there is a foreign war.

As for the opening of the Great Voyage......

This is a bit far away, Li Chenan just thought about it, and didn't think much about it.

Just walking all the way, Li Chen'an's sight appeared in the dilapidated dock by the lake.

This dock is huge.

The shore is dotted with worn sail canopies, carpentry workshops, piles of almost rotting wood and hemp rope, and so on.

A rather wide ditch leads out of the lake, and on both sides of the ditch there are many wooden shelves that are crooked and crooked.

At the other end of the ditch there was a long row of mossy houses that had almost collapsed, supposedly the residences or warehouses of the craftsmen.

Standing on a high ground near the dock, Li Chenan looked carefully, searched in his mind, and remembered the brief history of the development of ships in the previous life that he had seen.

I don't remember it too clearly, but I still have some impressions.

I still remember that it was roughly during the Warring States period, and most of the ships at that time were wooden boats, including flat-bottomed boats, sailboats, raft boats, and so on.

The ships of the era in which I live now seem to be similar to those of the Warring States period.

In the Han Dynasty, there were warships.

Because of this thing, the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty Navy was greatly improved, and it became the first in the world at that time!

I remember that in the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the extremely famous Battle of Chibi, thousands of warships were invested by both sides, which is enough to show the strength of the naval division and the huge scale of the water battle at that time.

But the warship needed to be improved.

Because it is covered with raw cowhide, although it has a certain amount of defense, but now that it has made steel, it may be possible to cover the hull of the ship with steel, so that the defense is stronger.

In addition, the offensive method of the warship still uses crossbow windows and spear holes, which are far from being comparable to naval guns in terms of lethality.

Although it is not known how the Ministry of Industry has studied the redcoat cannon, as long as a few key problems are solved, it is not too difficult to build a redcoat cannon.

For example, the extraction of molten iron with extremely high purity.

For example, casting iron molds that are better than clay molds.

For example, the portrayal of rifling and so on.

Since he wanted to build the most powerful sailor in the world, Li Chenan decided to study the construction of a three-masted gunboat at the same time as the construction of the warship.

Because power is really something that can't be solved by itself, it can only rely on wind power and manpower.

The three-masted gunboat of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, it was equipped with eight red-coated cannons and forty Franky cannons!

The ship is five stories high and can accommodate more than 300 sailors.

It can not only walk on the Yangtze River, but even in the sea, it can still do it.

Of course, it takes a long time to build a three-masted gunboat, firstly, because the span of the shipbuilding process is too large, and secondly, it also takes a long time for the cannon to enter the actual combat.

So...... It's a two-pronged approach!

While researching the three-masted gunboat, build a simpler warship.

Thinking so, Li Chenan turned his head to look at Zou Zhipeng:

"Your grandfather said that you would be in charge of the shipbuilding...... That's good, come on, come on, I'll tell you how to build the ship I want! ”

Zou Zhipeng looked at Li Chenan dumbfounded.

I thought to myself, shouldn't I tell you how this ship should be built?
