Chapter 1030: It's Too Heavy
The river and sea dual-purpose boat in Gaojia Village came to Zhoushan with a boatload of workers.
In the past, most of the workers on the ship were workers who traveled back and forth between the island and the mainland, but now, many workers have settled on the island and are too lazy to return to the mainland, and they have already picked up all their relatives from the mainland to the island and live with themselves in staff dormitories, which are better than their hometown on the mainland.
Their relatives and friends were also brought to the island one after another.
In this way, the workers will not find a reason to return to the mainland, and the whole family will live on the island together. Anyway, there is no shortage of materials on the island, and life is happy, and there is no oppression and exploitation by corrupt officials.
Therefore, this time with the ship, most of them are newly recruited new workers, including the two poor people from Suzhou, the two are full of anxiety, although they have heard distant relatives say that the island is good, but the newcomer must be panicked, just like the first time modern people go to eat KFC, but also ask netizens, should they be left foot first, or right foot first.
Before he could get there, the pilot stood on the bow of the ship and shouted to all the anxious workers on the deck: "I am about to arrive on the island, I am here, and I will remind you first, what is being built on the island is top secret!" Any idea what top secret is? If you leak a word, you will tie a stone to your feet and sink into the sea. ”
The new workers were taken aback.
The pilot said: "If you know that your mouth is not tight, and you like to talk about everything, don't do this job, get off the boat on the island in front of you, and wait for the next boat to return to the mainland." Only those who can control their mouths can continue on to the main island. ”
Everyone has come here, and the workers have no reason not to move forward, so they can only desperately warn themselves to keep their mouths shut.
Moving on, the ship finally came to Zhoushan Dinghai Port.
Before they could land on the shore, the workers were startled, and a huge port appeared in front of them, and the construction of the port was very large, and a long stretch of coastline was all built with wooden shelves.
Dozens of large ships dozens of feet long are moored here.
These big ships are obviously all warships, and there are sailors on board who are training to catch and fight, and the sound of shouting and killing can be heard from afar.
A huge ship rushed past the cargo ship carrying the workers, and the workers heard a man on board who looked like a captain shouting, "Left rudder 30 degrees ......"
"All ready for battle!"
"The cannon is wide open."
As soon as he gave the order, the sailors on board immediately tossed for a while.
The workers immediately understood, the military port!
No wonder secrecy is required here, it turned out to be a military port.
Didn't the imperial court abandon overseas islands before? Why do you suddenly come here with great fanfare to build a military port and train sailors? It seems that the court has really changed its sex.
The workers did not dare to ask, so they docked and cautiously disembarked.
Then they were welcomed into a large newly-built house, which still smelled of fresh paint, and after listening to the 100,000,000,000 words of various precautions, the foreman who spoke loudly proclaimed: "As long as you obey the rules and work hard, you will be paid a total of four taels of silver a month, and the skilled workers will receive more." ”
"Wow!" The new workers cheered.
Then they began to assign the construction site......

Two brothers from Suzhou, who were assigned to build a shipyard, followed the foreman out of the house, walked east along the beach, and after walking for a while, a sentry appeared in front of them, and a group of soldiers with loaded guns stood in front of them.
They were inspected by soldiers before passing the sentry post and entering the shipyard.
The two brothers muttered in their hearts, is it necessary for a shipyard to be so strict? Isn't it just to take the wood and knock it on the saw......
However, as soon as the two walked into the production workshop, they were stupefied by the scene in front of them.
A steel ship frame appeared in front of the two of them.
The keel of the entire ship is made of iron, and the steel and iron bones are not a lie.
A large number of workers wearing yellow hats are adding huge iron plates to the keel under the command of the blue hats.
The two brothers in Suzhou were numb: "A ship made of iron? Can it float? ”
"New kid, come here!" A blue hat beckoned to them: "Come here, put your hats on, in the production workshop, you must wear hard hats at all times." ”
The two brothers followed the flow of people, and one of them took a yellow hat to cover himself.
Blue Hat: "You are new to the city, and you don't know how to do it yet, so I'll arrange for you to lift steel plates." Look over there, the steel plate sent from the armor workshop, you will transport it to the side of the big ship and hand it to the assemblers, understand? ”
The two brothers replied together: "Understood! ”
The two brothers quickly found their place, and in a group with a few other workers, they lifted a huge steel plate from the warehouse, placed it on a cart, pushed it under the hull, and secured it with steel cables.
The assemblers shouted twice on it, and together they made a force, and through the strange wheels, the steel plate was lifted into the air, and then the assembly workers pasted the suspended steel plate to the keel......
Then use a huge nail to knock it in.
The two Suzhou brothers were dumbfounded: "Can the boat built like this really work?" It's iron, and it's piece-by-piece, won't the splicing leak? ”
The blue hat laughed and scolded: "It's not your business! If you don't learn well, you can only be the lowest porter all the time. ”
The two brothers stepped back in embarrassment and continued to move the steel plates.
As he was moving, he saw a group of people coming from the factory, the first of whom was a young man, who looked very learned, wearing a white hat on his head, and a large group of people wearing blue hats around him.
When the two brothers first came, they felt that the blue hat was already an unattainable big man, but now when they saw a large group of blue hats, they looked respectful to the white hat boy, and they knew that this was the real boss.
The boy brother is the white boy, he is frowning, looking at the drawings in his hand: "No matter how I calculate repeatedly, the final result shows that this ship is very heavy, very exaggerated heavy, the hull of the steam engine, cannon, coal, and steel, everything makes it unbearably heavy." ”
He said with a bitter face: "The self-weight is so heavy, and the carrying capacity is quite weak." ”
Bai Gongzi let out a long sigh: "Obviously, in the era of wooden ships, the situation of carrying five hundred soldiers on a ship could not be achieved on our steam iron ships, and in the future, this kind of ship can only carry a small number of soldiers. ”
