Chapter 4: Superpowers—Heavenly Creations

"Zheng He, you use the boat diagram to make a treasure ship, and you will definitely capsize in case of strong winds and waves." Zhu Zhanyong said.

"His Royal Highness Zhan Yong, how do you know?"

"I just know."

Only then did Zhu Zhanyong turn around: "I'll help you draw a map of the ship that can go to sea, but this emperor and grandson have one condition, you go to the West and take all the eunuchs in the palace with you." ”

Among the historical materials he translated, there is a part of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

The big ship is made according to the boat.

The boat is easy to overturn, so the imperial court only transports grain from north to south by river, and rarely by sea.

He is not interested in appearing in front of people, he doesn't want to be a spare tire for the rest of his life, and he needs to gain a firm foothold in the capital now.

As for the abilities he demonstrated?

In the future, there will be Lao Zhu and others, who knows what will happen, and who knows what ability will be extracted from them?

It's better to show it at the beginning, mixed with the name of a young and intelligent person, everything can be pushed here.

Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhanyong suspiciously, he didn't believe that Zhu Zhanyong could draw a picture of the ship.

Zhu Zhan Yong thought for a long time, only Zheng He could take away a large number of eunuchs at one time, and seeing that Zheng He didn't believe it, he could only win his trust first.

"The draft of the treasure ship is not deep, and it is easy to capsize in the waves, so your strategy is to drive along the coast of Daming, am I right?"

Zheng He froze, trembling slightly, he slowly raised his head, and his gaze at Zhu Zhanyong completely changed.

"This plan, the humble post has not yet told His Majesty, and absolutely no one knows about it! How did His Highness know? ”

When Zhu Zhanyong translated this historical material, he was still thinking that it was only a few decades away from Columbus's discovery of the New World, so why not Zheng He?

Zheng He's fleet was mighty, and the clouds covered the sun, but like children who did not dare to go out of the deep water, they played along the coast.

So the New World was not discovered.

All in all, it is still shipbuilding technology that does not support it.

Seeing Zheng He's expression change suddenly, Zhu Zhanyong stopped and let him comprehend it himself.

I didn't understand, but I was shocked, this is Zheng He's mood at the moment.

Zheng He bowed to the ground and shouted:

"I don't know why His Royal Highness Zhan Yong visited, if he can really paint it, he will bring the eunuchs in the palace to the West together!"

The deal is done.

"Bring the charcoal!"

Zhu Zhanyong rolled up his sleeves, he had been pondering here for a while, and couldn't help but think to himself.

He fell into deep thought: "If I want to change, I should change the proportion of the hull, so that the bottom draft of the ship is deeper, only relying on the keel and the head column to support it, it is necessary to set up a number of horizontal bulkheads to stabilize the hull to prevent the hull from entering the water, and install a water cover board between the two ships to absorb shock and resist floating, and block the turbulent wind and waves in the deep sea."

Zhu Zhanyong bit his pen and tried to recall what he had read: "I can't do this enough, to ensure that the hull can withstand the big waves, I also need to improve the structure of the wooden planks." ”

The head thought about the plenum, but the hand did not cooperate.

Zhu Zhanyong suddenly thought that he could extract his ability from Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

As if he had a sense, the slightly younger voice sounded, and he was wanton.

IV: "I'm good at supervising the construction, and I may be able to help you complete it." ”

Zhu Zhanyong asked, "What are you good at supervising?" ”

IV: "Farming, spinning, smelting, casting, weapons, gunpowder, salt-making, everything that passes through the work, nothing can be done." ”

Zhu Zhanyong asked, "Can I extract your abilities at will?" ”

IV: "No, we need our permission. ”

Zhu Zhan was suspicious: "Why did you help me?" ”

"I can't say it clearly, in short, I need some silver taels in a dilemma." ”

Zhu Zhanyong agreed without thinking about it, suddenly, he could feel some kind of signal from wanton, or like he had learned a certain skill.

Successfully extract the ability [Heavenly Creation]!

Zhu Zhanyong feels that he can give you the design drawings of a high-rise building Daxia now, not to mention the drawings of the treasure ship.

This ability is not limited to the unbridled dynasties.

It's strengthened countless times!

Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhanyong, and there was no movement for a long time, but the next moment, he saw Zhu Zhanyong picking up the charcoal, his hands were very fast, but orderly.

Slowly, Zheng He's face turned to surprise, surprise turned to shock, and his chin opened to the point of dislocation!

A clear carbon line appears on the yellowed paper, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth......

These lines are connected.

Unarmed!

Draw the straight keel of the big ship!

Cannot take your eyes off something.

Charcoal is like running water.

silky,

Suffocating,

Articles 1, 2, 3, 4......

This time it's the transverse bulkhead.

There are more and more lines,

hull

joist

internal support structures,

water slab,

Riveting structure......

The ratio of length, width and height is completely different, and a big ship gradually has a prototype!

Zheng He's jaw was dislocated, but he couldn't take care of these, Zhu... How did Zhu Zhanyong draw it?

It's not that he hasn't searched, and he also sent Jinyiwei to find a craftsman who can make drawings, and it is difficult for anyone to draw them except for the Ministry of Works.

Because none of them had ever seen a boat drawing.

Zheng He lowered his head and looked at his calloused hands because of holding the pen.

………

In the Temple of Fengtian.

Zhu Di is squinting his eyes, looking through the classics at the desk, sometimes thinking, sometimes smiling, many worries in the court, and only by reading historical materials can he have a moment of leisure.

The old eunuch held Yun Zhan over: "Your Majesty, Zheng He asks to see you." ”

Immediately, Zheng He quickly entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."

The little eunuch carefully unfolded a large yellowed piece of paper, with messy lines, and when it was fully unfolded, a magnificent and huge picture of the ship appeared on the paper.

Zhu Di was stunned, his eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at it for a long time before he looked up at Zheng He:

"I've never seen this picture of a ship, left from the previous dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, this was just drawn." Zheng He shook his head.

"It's... Can I go to sea? ”

"The minister doesn't know yet, but the minister wants to try, and now there is still wood left in Songjiang Mansion, and he wants to supervise the construction of ten such treasure ships."

Zheng He didn't finish his words.

The biggest feature of this ship is that the ratio of length, width and height has changed, and the bottom is reinforced with many heavy logs.

This ship can go out into the deep sea.

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Order the cabin workers of Songjiang Mansion to supervise the construction!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Zheng He bowed slightly and raised his head: "The minister went to the West this time to lead more than 10,000 people to pay homage to various countries, and he needs to be familiar with the red tape of the Ming Dynasty to not lose etiquette." ”

"If you fart, let it go!" Zhu Di was displeased.

"The minister wants to take away the eighty eunuchs in the palace!"

Zheng He continued: "The sea is stormy, the epidemic is prevalent, once the infection occurs, many people will die, and it is safer for the ministers to bring more people. ”

Zhu Di's eyes gradually cooled: "Go to Da Nei to pick someone!" ”

Zheng He was about to turn around and leave.

Zhu Di glanced at the boat map, and suddenly asked curiously: "Who drew this boat map?"

"It's His Highness Zhan Yong."

……

At this moment, the Han Palace.

A fiery butler entered the main hall and said to the majestic man on the throne: "King Han, news has just come out in the palace that Zheng He is going to take eighty eunuchs in the palace to the West!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Drinking the tea in his mouth, he almost choked out, these eunuchs, he counted a lot of money, in fact, he was also a student of Zhu Di back then.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly calmed down.

"Zheng He won't take away eighty eunuchs for no reason, what happened in the palace?"

"Zheng He gave His Majesty a picture of the ship......"

"I heard a little, it was painted by His Royal Highness Zhan Yong, two days ago, Gonggong Sheng deducted his use, and was slapped by His Royal Highness Zhan Yong, do you think it will be His Royal Highness Zhan Yong's intention to ......" that steward.

Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes, his face seemed to be in doubt, he had never faced this fierce and timid third nephew, a favored Zhu Zhanji was uncomfortable enough, and now there is another Zhu Zhanji.

The steward hurriedly said: "King Han, why don't you go to the palace to meet and let Your Majesty change a group of people?" ”

"My father went to the West, and his determination was obvious, and the civil and military persuasion of the Manchu Dynasty was useless, and the king was reprimanded in vain." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, not wanting to oppose Zhu Di.
