Chapter 364 Shipbuilding

Xu Shouhui died, and he died without dignity. His most trusted generals were in the blood-stained Wutong Temple. Chen Youliang held an ascending ceremony.

Although he is a completely immochieous villain, Chen Youliang is a man who dares to be a man. His year is called great righteousness!

Although he has ascended to the throne, Chen Youliang did not carry out military operations immediately, because some of his subordinates did not obey his emperor's orders, and he had to be eliminated one by one.

Moreover, Chen Youliang also knows that if he wants to attack the rich land in the south, he will inevitably conflict with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has not been a dragon for a long time, but a worm. Originally, Chen Youliang still valued him very much. He thought that he would conquer Yingtian and occupy the land, and he would be his great enemy in the future. Unexpectedly, he was severely beaten by Zhang Shicheng in Yingtian and fled back to Chuzhou, even losing Yingtian.

Moreover, according to the legend, Zhu Yuanzhang not only defeated this battle, but also injured himself. Although it was just gossip, most of the soldiers had hardly seen Zhu Yuanzhang appear in the past six months, which was evidence, and Xu Da presided over various affairs. However, his prestige was obviously not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang. That is to say, now Zhu Yuanzhang has been half abolished.

Therefore, the biggest threat at present is Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng is definitely one of the most powerful people in this era. He launched in the salt field and won many battles. Moreover, every time he wins more with less, he shakes the enemy from the front. His weapon is obviously very powerful. I heard that the main weapon is Tianque. This kind of fire gun has a long range, high accuracy and great power. Another kind of weapon, It is the rain of artillery, which can definitely not be resisted by human flesh and blood.

So, how can we defeat Zhang Shicheng?

Use your own invincible fleet!

Therefore, in addition to consolidating the regime, another thing Chen Youliang did was to build a large-scale shipbuilding.

Mixing the river dragon, breaking the river, knocking down the mountain, Jiang Haiao, this kind of three-deck ship, the more he wants to build, the better. Although his firearms are not as powerful as the other party, the ship is also equipped with artillery. When attacking Yingtian and other cities occupied by Zhang Shicheng, it is directly on the ship and bombarded with cannons, because. When the water rises, attack. The upper deck of the ship is higher than the other party's city head. The other party's firearms are useless at all!

Chen Youliang urged his craftsmen to make big ships all night.

Similarly, Zhang Yang's side also keeps building ships at night.

If you want to fight with Chen Youliang, a large-scale professional warship is indispensable! Therefore, these days, Zhang Yang has been in the shipyard almost all night.

Two months · Give him two months, the first batch, 30 small treasure boats, and they can be put into the water.

The captain is 23 feet, 12 feet wide. (In a modern unit, it is about 70 meters long and 30 meters wide. This refers to the widest place.) In the middle of the ship, a newly developed steam engine was placed at the base. Li Youcai and Zhao Jiamin finally successfully trial-mand the new steam engine!

In the usual steam engine, there is only one cylinder piston, so that when the steam is released from the cylinder, it still carries a lot of heat, all of which flow.

And the two people had a whim to let the released steam flow into the second cylinder, and then push the piston to do the work, so that they can further use the thermal energy. After experiments, they can push the three pistons in turn. At this time, the ability is the largest. This optimized steam engine has already It is a three-cylinder steam engine widely used on ships in later generations! It is second only to more advanced steam turbines.

Use this steam engine to drive the water wheels on both sides of Zu Qing's newly developed, and experiment on the old ship. The speed of the ship is 50% faster than before, which makes Zu Qing very happy.

The speed of this power has exceeded that of the fastest sailboat, coupled with the mobile and flexible hull, at that time, the battle between the fleets will take a great advantage.

On the side of the ship, under the deck, a layer is arranged, with a total of 40 God of War cannons on both sides, which are usually covered by cannon curtains. When used, open the cannon curtain, such firepower will be extremely strong.

However, the firepower at the beginning and end is very weak. The head of the lucky ship is sharp, and only two Ares can be placed on the top deck. Therefore, this kind of warship is not suitable for frontal attack, but suitable for driving in the same direction, destroying the opponent with side firepower.

On the upper deck, there are 50 scattered cannons. If a large number of God of War cannons are arranged, the center of gravity will move up. In the big wind and waves, it is easy to be in danger of overturning the boat.

The production of Tianque in the base has been suspended, and the full-speed production of steam engines and cannons. In addition to the need to be arranged on these 30 warships, more than 1,000 God of War cannons and more than 1,500 scattered flower cannons, a large number of cannons should also be deployed in various cities near the river, although most of the manufacturing of the base has been realized with machines. However, this is also a considerable amount. However, the craftsmen do not have any complaints. Zhang Yang has enough ways to stimulate their production efficiency, which is naturally the bonus and share.

The way of cooking in a big pot is absolutely undesirable. The production volume is accurate to the individual, and the more work is more, so that the people on the base have long been full of energy.

At Zhang Yang's proposal, the manufacturing of Fuchuan realized the assembly line operation.

The emergence of the assembly line has led to the greatest development of labor efficiency. A qualified boatman, not to say that from the laying of the keel to the completion of the last paint, all processes can be firmly mastered, and he can also be skilled.

Each part of the design drawing is broken down into several small parts, and most of the workers only need to make a small part of it.

For example, ten horizontal keel are made by 20 groups of workers, each of which only needs to make its own curved keel.

Everyone only does a small part, which can greatly improve their proficiency. Until later, even if they close their eyes, they will not do anything wrong.

This production method opened Zu Qing's eyes. It turns out that it can still be done like this!

There is also a certain premise for doing so, that is, each part must strictly fit the size, otherwise, there will be problems when assembling. However, this problem has also been solved by Zhang Yang in advance. He asked the base to make countless iron models, and the components made can be compared with iron models. Therefore, iron rulers were also distributed to every craftsman.

So, what I see in the shipyard now is such a scene.

Although a ship on the platform has not yet begun to be built, even the chairs in the captain's room have been built.

Zu Qing admired Lord Zhang's idea very much. She didn't expect that Lord Zhang was so far-sighted to do other things besides 'war'.

Everyone is only partly responsible, which is definitely an innovation. Of course, this is also required. The final assembly of the workers needs to have a comprehensive vision.

Fortunately, in the last part, Zhang Yang has also provided a way to number all the final assembly steps!

Start from laying the keel, number the keel, which keel to lay first, and then which one to lay, so that every step is in orderly.

And 15 platforms have been built, and these 30 warships can be divided into two batches.

The first batch of accessories have been produced. Today, it will be the first day of assembly, and it can be launched for trial in half a month.

In order to celebrate the beginning of the equipment, Zhang Yang also specially asked Jiao Yu to make fireworks and firecrackers and hold a ceremony.

Jiao Yu, you can't do anything else. This is really good. Looking at the fireworks flying into the sky, it turned into a clear handwriting in the sky: Long live the warship into the water!

"Don, thon, thon." Firecrackers roared. On this day, the shipyard was completely jubilant.

With a smile, Zhang Yang cut the good red silk cloth with big flowers in the middle of the plate into three sections.

"What is this for? Such a good piece of cloth has been cut out. A boatman whispered.

"You haven't seen the world, have you? This is called ribbon-cutting, which means a good omen.

"However, there are a lot of silk cloth left. If you come later, you can make a belly pocket for your wife and children."

"Belly pocket? It's almost enough to make a pair of trousers, Geely.

In the sound of firecrackers, the platform began to be busy. The huge keel did not use manpower, but erected many "dragon door cranes" and used "crackers" to put pieces of raw materials in the designated position. This kind of thing was also proposed by Zhang Yang.

Even this kind of gadget is also amazing to Zu Qing. It turns out that there are still these ways to save energy and improve efficiency!

She looked at Zhang Yang's eyes, which was not just worship, but almost worship. She felt that her husband was really talented! Thinking that after the ship was put into the water, she was going to marry him. She was very satisfied to have such a husband. This person was her destined husband.

Among the crowd, I'm afraid Bian Yuanheng is the one who laughs the most.

At the beginning, when the eldest brother promised to let himself be the leader of the navy, he was still a little unhapproval. However, since the steam engine ship equipped him, he has already liked the navy very much. This thing is invincible across the rivers and lakes. Since then, the surrounding rivers have become his world.

Now, the eldest brother promised to make a professional warship for himself, which has finally been realized. This kind of warship is really a tiger's wing for himself. With these warships, even when they go to the sea, they can show off their power. Moreover, this is still the smallest warship. How majestic it will be when the large warship is equipped with its own navy!

Moreover, the eldest brother expanded his scale for him. From the newly recruited soldiers, he first selected 10,000 soldiers and joined his navy, making other generals jealous. The eldest brother is really generous to the navy!

It's just that the progress is too slow! Bian Yuanheng couldn't wait for the warship to be put out immediately and put into the water. He led the fleet to compete with Chen Youliang's navy.
