Chapter 239: Preparing for the Sailor
"Visiting the scenery of the Qinhuai River?"
"Or 100 days?"
The corners of Han Lin's mouth twitched wildly.
This system is really euphemistic.
What kind of sightseeing, these 100 days, I haven't gone out much at all, and I'm on the boat almost every day.
It's good now
It can also trigger a system reward.
Looking at the system prompt,
Han Lin first took the design of the Dafu ship in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't see the reason.
For Han Lin, who is only familiar with history and the Qin and Han Kingdoms, he doesn't know what the Dafu ship is.
In the current timeline of this world,
Only Qi and Wu, Yue, and Chu, these four countries surrounded by mountains and rivers, have built sailors.
When Wu and Yue fought before, most of them were mainly water battles.
thereinto
It is also most famous for the warships of the former Wu Kingdom.
The warships of the Wu Kingdom are divided into several categories: large wings, middle wings, small wings, sudden attacks, building ships, and bridge ships.
Among them, the large wing can reach a length of more than 27 meters.
The three wings are the sharp weapons in the river water war in Wu, and the big wings are the first of the sharp weapons, the boat is slender and long, there are many oarsmen, and the speed is fast, which is a kind of fast warship.
The Raid is an assault ship with an angle of attack at the bow.
The tall ship is the capital ship in water warfare.
Bridge ships are small warships in water battles, flexible and light, and often take the lead in water battles.
Historically,
Since the Western Han Dynasty, the building ship has become the main warship.
Later, until the Three Kingdoms period, the building ships built by Soochow, such as "Feiyun" and "Gaihai", all had five floors and could carry 3,000 soldiers.
merely
There is a major flaw in the ship.
Although it is said that its ship building is high, it is suitable for both long-range and close combat, and is usually used as the main force in water warfare of various countries.
But it is precisely because of the height of the ship that the center of gravity is unstable.
Therefore, there is no way to sail far, and most of them can only serve as the main force in inland river and coastal water warfare.
So
This development is only compared with other countries.
There is simply no strength in ocean trade.
Han Lin scratched his head.
Professional things have to be handed over to professional people.
So Han Lin immediately called Zhou Zhi and asked him to find a few knowledgeable people to come over.
The land of Wuyue, after all, is located in the southeast coastal area.
In the maritime industry, it is on a par with the Qi country.
There are a large number of fishermen along the coast, who make a living from fishing.
In a moment's work,
The man arrived.
The three people who were brought by Zhou Zhi, after seeing Han Lin, immediately bowed down and kowtowed.
"Get up."
Han Lin said in a flat voice.
After the three of them got up,
Zhou Zhi immediately opened his mouth and introduced: "Your Majesty, the three of you are the commanders of the naval army of the Wu State. ”
Han Lin said with interest: "So, you guys know a lot about warships?" ”
"Avoidance, I don't dare to say how proficient I am, I can only say that I understand a little."
The three of them faced Han Lin, which was called respectful and modest.
"Take this one and take a look."
Hand over the blueprint,
After the three of them took it, their eyes almost popped out as soon as their eyes fell on it.
Looking at the design in disbelief, his face full of horror.
"This ...... This is a warship? ”
One of them swallowed a mouthful of water with great difficulty before he came back to his senses from the shock.
The warships of the current countries,
The main force is mainly building ships.
Although it is said that the balance is poor, because of the height and width of the ship, it is very suitable for both long-range and close combat.
But they never imagined that the hull could be built like this.
Although at the moment,
I only have this design in hand.
But compared to Han Lin, a layman, they understand too well the gold content of this warship.
According to the picture on the design drawing,
The entire hull is still as tall as a building, with a wide bottom, a raised bow and a towering stern.
Enough for hundreds of people.
The hull is built on three floors. Its side are guarded plates, protected by thatched bamboo, erected like a wall, and its sail mast is two.
The hull is divided into four tiers.
The lower level is filled with ballast stones, the third floor is for fresh water tanks, and the second floor is where the soldiers live.
The top floor is a terrace, which needs to be climbed from the ladder on the third floor, and the two sides are fenced with board wings.
Soldiers can fight against it, and they can shoot arrows from a down's eye.
The design on the drawings, looking at the three people scalp numb.
If it could really be built according to the drawings, they even felt that it was not impossible for the ship to sail not only on inland waterways, but also on the ocean.
"Have you finished reading?"
"How does it feel?"
Seeing the three people looking at the design drawing, they were stunned for a long time.
Han Lin said impatiently.
Hearing Han Lin's voice, the three of them came back to their senses.
One of them said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if this ship can really be according to the drawings, it will definitely be a weapon of water warfare." ”
"At that time, the Great Qi Sailor will definitely be able to dominate the world."
The other two chimed in.
Compared to their excitement, Han Lin's expression was very calm from beginning to end.
"So, this ship is very good?"
The three of them nodded one after another.
One of them couldn't help but ask: "Subordinates, I don't know if Weichen can know, who designed this ship?" ”
Han Lin said lightly: "Don't worry about who designed it, you just tell me, can this ship be built?" How long does it take? After it is built, can it be sailed in the ocean? ”
Hearing Han Lin's question,
The three of them were a little embarrassed.
Just shipbuilding is still talking.
If there are enough craftsmen and funds, a few months will be enough.
But who knows if it will be able to sail the ocean?
They haven't been to sea either.
The three of them glanced at each other, and one of them replied: "Back to Your Majesty, if you start construction with all your might, you can build it within half a year, but the ocean is ...... Wechen and the others have no experience either, so it's really ......."
Seeing that they are embarrassed,
Han Lin also knew that these people had no sailing experience at all.
But there are firsts for everything.
Now the system has given the design of this big ship,
Han Lin really wanted to send someone to the sea to have a look.
If possible,
It's exciting to think about building an empire where the sun never sets.
"The three of you are responsible for this matter, and within half a year, I will see the hull of the ship go into the sea."
"If we can be sure that we have the ability to go to the sea, then we will build it on a large scale, and then I will rebuild the sailors and start training."
Although the state of Qi also has a water master.
But compared with the three kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Chu, the scale is not ordinarily small.
After all, the state of Qi is still dominated by plains.
Although it is close to the river, the waterways are not as complicated as those in the Gangdong area.
The most important thing is that
It was useless for the Qi State to establish a water division.
When going out to fight, it is still mainly an infantry cavalry.
It is also because of these reasons that there has been no emphasis on training water masters.
But now it's different,
After occupying the Wuyue region, while taking over the opponent's naval division, he also had to face the water threat of the Chu State.
And
Han Lin knew that this world was much bigger than that.
I'm not sure if the world outside Kyushu is the same as the world I used to live in.
But if it was possible, Han Lin still wanted to go to sea to have a look.
"System, or you can reward a steam engine."
"No, the steam engine is too troublesome, and you need a tech tree."
"Why don't you directly reward all kinds of guns, planes, tanks, and aircraft carriers?"
System: "You can dream about it, you have everything in your dreams." ”
