Chapter 52 There is a ghost ship

He Chen looked at the red sunset glow on the edge of the sky, and the evening boat fished a song, but spit out that was not at the right time with the scenery at this time. He killed and said domineering words: "Those who offend my strong man will be killed even if they are far away. Everything Xie Matai has done to my big man and people will bring them back sooner or later.

When he said this, He Chen thought uncontrollably in his heart. He didn't know that at this time, the humble call of both literature and martial arts in Qunying 7li, and many other ordinary beauties such as Feng Yuji, Yuyiji, Saku Yeji, Shicunjimaji, Taki Duji and so on were born? When the time is caught, each loyal subordinate will be divided into one, and let them taste the special taste of an island woman.

Hua Xin looked at He Chen with a silver smile on the corners of his mouth, which was a little inexplicable.

" By the way, are Bi Lan, Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan here?" What did He Chen think? He turned back to Hua Xin.

"It's arrived." Although Hua Xin didn't understand He Chen's intention to summon these three people, she didn't ask much. This is the way to be an official and how to deal with the world. You should know it. Naturally, it will tell you that if you shouldn't know it, it's useless to ask. Maybe the impression is also at the lower level, which is annoying.

"Notify them to go to the hall, and the general has an important task for them." After saying this, He Chen no longer looked at the night view of the Yellow River. He shook his clothes and strode away, leaving only the silver and charming moonlight on the ground.

"No."

He Chen's only purpose when he came to Gaotang was to have a dream of building a powerful navy. When he was in Jingzhou, he had such a belief, but with a paper order to leave, this lofty dream was dead before it could be implemented. Now, his power has extended to the north bank of the Yellow River, and this idea has once again been rekindled.

Bi Lan, the inventor of the keel waterwheel; Zheng Hun, the inventor of Han Wei's Ma Jun; Bo Yuan, not only a master of knife making, but also a mechanical genius and so on. He Chen intends to gather the wisdom and strength of these people, and with his own financial help, not only to build the most advanced Mengchong warship in this era, but also to improve and upgrade it to make it more mobile, stronger, more powerful in combat effectiveness, and more prominent in ocean-going ability.

The water army has always been the pain in He Chen's heart. It was because of the closed door and the lack of power of the water army that China was knocked on the door of the barbarian country in a certain year, which led to the most tragic failure in history. Now that I have returned to this world, I will rewrite this broken history from myself. I will return these unequal treaties that have lost power and humiliated the country to whoever should be returned to.

In Gaotang County.

In addition to He Chen, Hua Xin, Bi Lan, Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, there are three or four people. These people are either tough middle-aged, or drooping old, or dressed as scribes, or dressed in coarse linen, but without exception, these people have dark and cracked skin and their limbs are obviously thick and powerful, which is the reason why they have been blown by the sea breeze and soaked in the sea for many years. They are famous shipbuilders in the Han Dynasty today. They were hired by He Chen with a lot of money.

He Chen sat on the main seat and began to say what he said in a low voice, "You are all skillful hands of the world and mechanics. Now I invite you to come. There is only one purpose... shipbuilding."

"For several sailors, as long as they have enough manpower and material resources, warships, bridge ships and battleships are as simple as pediatrics. As long as they are given a certain amount of time, even large warships such as squires and building ships are not a problem, but these are not the requirements and needs of the general."

At this time, He Chen paused and saw that everyone was full of puzzled eyes, so he then explained: "I want a large warship that can not only sail in the inland sea, but also expedition to the ocean. Outside China, there are many Yiren island countries, and endless gold, spices and soil are waiting for us to develop.

"So that's it." Everyone realized that they couldn't help but be shocked when they thought about the aliens from all over the world to pay tribute in the Central Plains. This general's ambition was not ordinary. At present, the Central Plains had not yet calmed down, so he turned his eyes to overseas.

"At present, warships almost rely on the sky for food, because the wind is ercreme in the water war. Don't fight. Therefore, your first task is to pay attention to the development of manpower-powered warships, that is, pulp ships. The key to the wheel pulp ship is the word wheel pulp. In this regard, Mr. Bi is the world, and his principle is similar to that of the keel water wheel, so Mr. Bi should pay more attention to it.

Bi Lan stood up and said respectfully, "I understand, General."

"I can't give any good advice on how to build a ship, but I still want to talk to you about a few points. First of all, the canvas structure can be improved. Triangle sails and even four-cornered sails sails, how to make better use of various wind directions to control the wind is the top priority. For example, the four sails, which are not straight forward, are all oblique and gather together to get the wind.

"The second is the rudder. This thing is installed behind the stern of the ship, the rudder is towed, because it is towed at the stern of the ship; the rudder can help the ship not deviate from the course, so that it can reach its destination smoothly.

"Mr. Zheng, I will trouble you more in this regard." Speaking of this time, He Chen said to Zheng Hun's forehead.

"This is simple. When I traveled to Shouchun, I had found that some fishermen had invented this kind of thing, as long as it was slightly improved." Zheng Hun answered happily.

He Chen nodded and said, "The third is the watertight compartment. The so-called watertight compartment is to use the compartment plate to divide the cabin into compartments that are not connected to each other. The number of compartments is determined according to the design. Because of the water-tight compartment, it has a multi-faceted superior surname. First of all, due to the tight separation between the cabins, in navigation, especially in oceanic navigation, even if one or two cabins are damaged and flooded, the water will not flow to other cabins. Judging from the overall view of the ship, it still maintains a considerable buoyancy and will not sink. Secondly, the compartment on the ship improves the loading and unloading efficiency of goods and facilitates personnel management. In addition, because the hatch plate is closely connected to the hull plate, it plays the role of strengthening the hull, which not only increases the overall lateral strength of the ship, but also replaces the rib processing and simplifies the shipbuilding process.

The three points mentioned by He Chen, the first two points have actually been invented in Hanwei, but they have not been widely promoted. As for the watertight compartment, this was invented in the Tang Dynasty and applied in a large area in the Song Dynasty. The invention of this rudder can be said to be two outstanding contributions in the history of world ships.

Of course, He Chen did not expect them to find out the water-tight compartment doorway at once, but at least he gave his own direction so that they could also have a goal to move forward. As for steam ships and iron armored ships, at present, it is still a little unrealistic. After all, the technology has not reached that level, and it is useless to have theoretical drawings alone.

He Chen's words, the eyes of several people in the hall were bright. Although some of these have been heard and some have not heard of them, this does not hinder the minds of these skilled craftsmen. There is no doubt that He Chen's in-depth and simple analysis let them see the possible surnames of success.

One of the old men with white hair and full of energy hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "General, these statements are immeamental. But the watertight compartment looks beautiful, but without the addition of ribs, I'm afraid that the boat will become bumpy, which is really not good for the soldiers.

He Chen smiled and said indifferently, "Mr. Wang has been immersed in a silver boat for decades. He is skilled and experienced. It can be said that no one in the whole Central Plains can compare with him, but practice is the standard for testing everything. It has not been created. Judging by experience alone, sometimes there will be errors. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Wang will try his best to find the way to shine for our Han Dynasty.

He Chen's words first raised and then suppressed, first praised, and then vague criticism, but the old man was willing to be praised by the world-famous General He, which made him a little fluttering.

"Ziyu, before Quanrou comes, all these things will be handled by you. If they have any requirements, as long as there is a way for our army to develop a new warship, you can meet them.

"Yes." Hua Xin sighed in his heart, and even He Chen said this, which showed how great his determination was. If you do this job well, you will be promoted to the title, and even become He Chen's confidant, and it is very likely to be transferred to the center. In any case, this must be done well. Hua Xin made up her mind secretly at the first time.

After saying this, He Chen got up and slowly came down from the high seat and said, "If you have no ideas and opinions, that's it. Ha ha, I'm looking forward to standing on the new ship you made, traveling all over the world, going to see the Cape of Good Hope, looking for mermaids, and maybe I can also fish for sunken ships, hahaha. Speaking of the back, He Chen couldn't help laughing.

At this time, a middle-aged man also smiled and said, "I am also looking forward to the birth of these new warships, and I also want to find overseas fairy islands and legendary ghost ships."

"Emp? Ghost ship? What's going on?" Half of He Chen's legs had stepped out of the threshold, but after hearing this, he stopped and turned around and asked in surprise.

"Well, it's like this. Fishermen who go to sea from Leling often see a big boat floating on the sea. At first, they thought it was a merchant ship and a cargo ship, but they didn't care. But once, the careful fishermen found that the boat was constantly dilapidated, and there was no one on it, automatically floating on the windless sea, which scared the fishermen. The reputation of the ghost ship began to sound in Leling. It is said that more than one or two people have seen this situation, and many people have witnessed it with their own eyes.

Drap, what kind of ghost ship is this? It should be a sunken ship. The more He Chen thinks about it, the more likely it is. Damn it, I have been in this world for so long, and I finally ran into a sunken ship. As long as he thought about the countless treasures and talismans on the sinking ship, He Chen felt itchy in his heart. No, I have to salvage it anyway. Thinking of this time, He Chen immediately made a decision.
