Chapter 740 - Make the Iron Plate as Required on the Diagram
"Hey, I haven't said yes yet."
Li Xing hugged his arms, his face full of pride.
Chu Ze waved his hand and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you promise or not, you can just do it." Anyway, our life will be in your hands."
"Oh, you're a scoundrel." Li Xing stared at him.
Don't look at the disgust he wears on his lips.
But from beginning to end, I didn't say a word.
In the final analysis, Chu Ze's approach still shocked him.
When he wrote the letter, he had no idea where he was.
He didn't even send anyone to find him.
If he hadn't met him today, once he returned to Ryukyu and killed the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze would definitely die.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang favors him again.
He won't even live.
This made Li Xing's heart feel shocked.
Na Chu Ze made this request at this time, and he naturally would not refuse.
Chu Ze also grasped his thoughts, and he was not polite at all when he made a request.
Looking at Chu Ze, who didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, Li Xing said, "Aren't you the best at manipulating these? Why don't you just dismantle those mechanisms?"
"Directly dismantling?"
Chu Ze was immediately happy.
He looked at Li Xing's eyes speechless.
"Li Xing, Master Li, those mechanisms are all installed underwater, if we are not mistaken, there must be a touch mechanism like a lead in the water, once it is touched, the mechanism will be activated, how do you let us dismantle it?"
He's not a god.
"And the demolition must be very big, once it alarms the people on Niutou Island, it will either be a big battle, or the other party will flee from the wind." Chu Ze sighed faintly and continued, "We want to arrest them, if they escape, it will not be easy to arrest them again. By the way, you've been here for so long, and you haven't heard of the prestige of the water tiger?"
Li Xing has really heard of it.
To tell the truth, because of the gold case, all the ships going to the Ryukyus were stopped.
The reason why he is still amused here is because there is no boat.
If he couldn't find the boat again, he even thought about whether to find a water or not a tiger to make a deal.
He pays the money, and the other party goes out of the boat.
It's just that before his idea was implemented, Chu Ze came to the door first.
"So, what kind of water tiger do you think I caught for you?" Li Xing asked directly.
If it is, it's not impossible.
Taking the head of a general in a million troops, Li Xing is happy to do it.
"No, no, no. We heard that Niutou Island is full of murderous machines, and there is an expert in making mechanisms on it. Your mission to the island is very simple, destroy all the mechanisms on the island, make them unable to move, and let our people go to the island smoothly. As for arresting people, you don't have to worry about the others, just catch the maker of the machine." Chu Ze said, his eyes glowing.
He was eager to meet the man who made the mechanism.
Li Xing thought about it, this task is indeed not difficult.
In addition to destroying the mechanism.
"Okay, I promised." Li Xing weighed it again and again, and finally nodded.
Chu Ze happily patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother."
"How do we get in touch after that?" Li Xing asked.
Since he promised to do things for Chu Ze, he naturally had to do it well.
If you want to end Niutou Island inside and outside, then the contact with Chu Ze is indispensable.
Chu Ze touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "In this way, before you get your hands there, you will go to the Wan Restaurant in the city to find their shopkeeper. This restaurant is the property of the Zuo family, we will explain to Zuo Ying and let him arrange the person who will answer it."
"Okay."
The two agreed, and Li Xing left the alley.
He quickly merged into the crowd.
Chu Ze estimated that when he walked almost far, he walked out slowly.
At the entrance of the alley, Zhao Si was leaning against the wall, peeling and waiting for him.
When they saw him come out, they immediately threw their raw husks and met him.
"Master, have you negotiated?"
Chu Ze glanced at him: "You know a lot."
"Then follow the master, no matter what, you have to be smart. But sir, your gamble is a bit too big. You don't know anything about his whereabouts, and you dare to write a guarantee. If this person leaves Daming, then you can't take your life in vain?" Zhao Si thinks about it now, and he sweats for his master.
Chu Ze hooked his lips and smiled, looked at Zhao Si, and his tone was inexplicably determined: "He can't go."
Zhao Si didn't understand.
He asked Chu Ze, "How does the master know that he can't leave?"
"We're your master, of course we know." After Chu Ze finished speaking, Shi Shiran walked forward.
Leaving Zhao Si standing in place, confused.
He also wanted to ask.
But Chu Ze said that "the secret of heaven must not be leaked", and he refused to answer anything.
Chu Ze returned to his residence, first found Zuo Ying, told him about Li Xing, and asked him to arrange a response.
Then the retreat begins.
Now although there is a very good iron smelting technology.
But it was not applied to ships.
Today's boats, large and small, are made of wood.
In particular, natural aged fir is the first choice.
Because such wood has good material and strong toughness, and the density is small after air drying.
The boats made from it are buoyant and can carry heavy loads.
And it's also fastened and durable.
But such a ship is not enough to see the mechanisms in Buffalo Bay.
An iron arrow came up. The ship was wrecked and people died.
Before they saw the water tigers, half of their men were killed first.
So how is this battle still fought?
Didn't have to fight.
These organs cannot be dismantled.
Then you can only force your way in.
Breaking through also requires skill.
The current ship will definitely not work, and if you want to break through the trap array, you need to strengthen the bottom of the ship.
The best way to reinforce the ship is to add iron plates to the bottom of the ship.
to increase the defensibility of the ship.
Chu Ze took the pen and drew the picture he had conceived.
Then start drawing the part details.
At the current level, he can't build a pure iron ship.
And it's too late.
It's much easier if you just add iron sheets.
Chu Ze handed over the drawings to Nong Yesi - for fear that they would not understand them, and deliberately asked Zuo Yingdai to write the pen after Chu Ze confirmed that it was correct, so he gave it to him - let Nong Yesi immediately find a blacksmith and make iron plates according to the requirements on the drawings.
"Lord Chu, in this way, won't the speed of our ships be greatly reduced?" After listening to Chu Ze's thoughts, Nong Yesi raised his brows, and he had to remind, "The water tiger has a lot of light boats in his hands, which are flexible and fast in the water, if our boat is slow, won't all the soldiers on the ship become live targets?"
"Don't worry, we've thought about it too."
Regardless of the era, having a certain number of clippers will increase your combat power.
He had already taken this issue into account when he thought of reinforcing the hull.
He pulled out a second drawing.
This drawing is just an ordinary boat.
Much like the usual small fishing boats.
But at the stern, there is a strange slot.
Nong Yesi pointed to that place and asked, "Lord Chu, what is this?" (End of chapter)
