Chapter 343 Drawing 2

These workers are all special people. In order to protect the secrets of armaments, Liu Xia gathered some people as special craftsmen. They are responsible for building things for Liu Xia's special institutions, such as shipyards, arsenals, etc. The treatment is directly managed by the logistics department, and their families have also moved to a fixed place. Basically, there is little activity with the outside world, and even their children in the family are married within them. Of course, there are not a few people like them, tens of thousands of people, and they are constantly increasing.

Work for Liu Xia, and her treatment is also very good. She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. There are also special schools in their gathering places to educate their children. So don't worry about education. It's just that they need to keep it secret, so they can't go out at will and deal with outsiders.

That is to say, personal freedom has been restricted.

Yu Mingjun came to the shipyard with the drawings for a moment. The one who came out to greet Yu Mingjun in the shipyard was still the director of the shipyard, Yang Wuxiao Qian Taiduo. He has received the news from the logistics department, knowing that it was Yu Mingjun who sent him shipbuilding drawings this time. As a craftsman, he was very interested in creation, so when he heard that Mingjun found the drawings of the ship used by Zheng He in the West, he laughed happily for a long time.

"I've met the general."

Although Bai Menghu has now been promoted to deputy governor of the navy, his rank is just a cavalry school, which is not enough to be called a general. When Bai Menghu learned that he had been promoted to deputy governor, he was very happy. According to the division of Liu Xia. The governor is a cyclist, so the deputy governor should be at the cyclist level. But in fact, his white dream tiger is just a riding school level. After thinking for a while, he understood Liu Xia's intention. As long as he made new contributions, he would definitely be called the second general of the navy.

So Bai Menghu secretly swore in his heart that he must build the water army well, be able to fight and win the battle.

Qian Taiduo saluted Yu Mingjun, and he also belonged to the army. But it belongs directly to the logistics department. The personnel of the logistics department are mostly technical personnel, or some people who have retired from the front line who are injured and can no longer go to the battlefield but have great credit and want to stay in the army.

Qian Taiduo is a technician and is a highly skilled craftsman.

Yu Mingjun smiled and said to Qian Taiduo, "Lord Qian is so polite."

"No wonder I heard the magpie call early this morning. I didn't expect a nobleman to come today."

"Hahaha, I can't afford this nobleman. If you want to say nobles, you can only be a prince. Today, the general was ordered by the prince to send a gift to Lord Qian. With that, Yu Mingjun waved his hand to the two guards behind him, and the two guards came over with a small wooden nanmu box painted with red paint.

Qian Taiduo took a look and understood the legendary shipbuilding drawings in his heart. This is a baby!

A long-lost baby.

Qian Taiduo quickly said to Yu Mingjun, "Mr. General, please come to the room and sit in the room."

With that, he led Yu Mingjun to the stone-built room behind him. Inside the room is a small living room, and Qian Taiduo invited Yu Mingjun to take a seat. Then several shipyard staffs sent some cups of hot tea.

"The general sent the drawings of the shipbuilding?" Although Qian Taiduo was clear in his heart, he still asked, and he wanted to hear it from Yu Mingjun's mouth.

Yu Mingjun said, "Lord Qian guessed correctly. It's the drawings of the shipbuilding. This was found when I went to catch pirates a few days ago. I really didn't expect that such a valuable thing would be killed by pirates. If you are not careful, it will be completely destroyed. Fortunately, I was met by General Ben. Otherwise, it's really a big loss for us.

Yu Mingjun took a sip of Xiangcha, looked at Qian Taiduo, and only heard Qian Taiduo smile and said, "What the general said is right. How can these pirates understand the preciousness of these drawings? If it is given to him, they will just be a pile of waste paper. But it's really a treasure in our hands. With that, Qian Taiduo turned his eyes to the wooden box not far away, with enthusiasm burning in his eyes.

Yu Mingjun smiled and said, "Lord Qian wants to have a look?" After saying that, Qian Taiduo nodded awkwardly and said, "Exactly. This baby, who doesn't want to have a look? Yu Mingjun said, "This is indeed a treasure, but it can only be called a treasure after giving it to Lord Qian. This thing is just a pile of paper in the hands of General Ben, who can't move his craftsmanship. Even if you look at it, you can only see it as a picture.

"Someone brought the box over and opened it."

After saying that, the two guards carried the box to the coffee table between Yu Mingjun and Qian Taiduo. One guard took out a copper key and opened the copper lock on the box.

Yu Mingjun stood up, lifted the lid of the box with a gentle lift. There was a thick pile of drawings lying quietly inside. Ordinary people really can't understand these drawings. There is a lot of data on it, and the painting is also very fine, and each board used is clearly drawn.

However, these ships cannot be quoted directly, and Qian Taiduo still needs to transform them. Install steam engines and propellers on these ships. Then wrap a layer of iron armor outside. Such an iron-claded ship is ready.

Qian Taiduo stood up excitedly, reached out and picked up a drawing, looked carefully a few times, and said eagerly, "This kind of craftsmanship is really ingenious. The predecessors in those years are really awesome. No wonder we can't build such a big warship. It turned out that there was a problem here. Qian Taiduo looked at it and commented again and again.

Yu Mingjun is not familiar with shipbuilding, but listening to Qian Taiduo's words, I feel that the craftsmen hundreds of years ago are quite powerful.

The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was so developed that it was inseparable from the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rulers at that time. Before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he once fought with Chen Youliang in the south. Chen Youliang was a man who attached great importance to warships. After all, most of the places he is in are waterways and naturally concerned about warships.

Chen Youliang often dispatched hundreds of warships to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang suffered a great loss for this. At that time, Chen Youliang's warship had even been wrapped in iron. It can be seen that wrapping a layer of iron armor on the outside of the warship was not Liu Xia's first creation. However, Chen Youliang's era has passed for a long time. After Chen Youliang died in the war, these techniques for laying iron armor were also lost. So many craftsmen don't know that ships have been equipped with iron armor hundreds of years ago.

The more Qian Taiduo looked at it, the more energetic he became. In the end, he was obsessed with it and directly threw Yu Mingjun next to him there, which made Yu Mingjun sigh.

After a long time, Qian Taiduo read the drawing and woke up. At this moment, Yu Mingjun had already sat on the chair and tasted good tea.

Qian Taiduo smiled awkwardly and said, "Let the general laugh, the general smile."

"Yes, General. Our shipyard is about to build an ironclad ship. Qian Taiduo suddenly remembered what he was going to say to Yu Mingjun today. He was going to tell Yu Mingjun today that the shipyard was going to launch another iron-clad ship. But because Yu Mingjun gave him this box of drawings, he forgot it. Now because of a moment of embarrassment, he thought about how to get rid of the embarrassment in his mind, and suddenly remembered it again.

When Yu Mingjun heard the words, he suddenly got up again happily. He may not care about other Yu Mingjun, but he is very concerned about the ship Yu Mingjun now. He hurriedly said, "Really? Ironclad ship? How big is it. It's great to form another fleet."

Qian Taiduo said, "It's an ironclad ship, but it's only thirteen feet smaller than the [Zhenyuan] delivered to your navy last time."

Yu Mingjun obviously did not lose his happiness because he was seven feet younger. He said, "When will the water come out as soon as possible?" As the governor of the navy, he needs to develop the navy, and the development and growth of the navy is based on the number of ships.

Qian Taiduo said, "It only takes five days for the ironclad ship to be launched. At that time, someone will be sent to inform the general to send someone to receive the warship. In addition, the subordinate received an order from the logistics department to build several wooden warships the size of treasure ships according to the drawings, so the other iron armored ships of your army need to be delayed for some days.
