Chapter 946 Eight-Trough Ship
Zhang Fan and Xuan Yuanxing got into the cave and followed the mark, and really discovered a box of gold bricks and silver! However, these gold bricks and silver blocks are forged with a layer of gold foil and silver foil coated with lead blocks and copper blocks. Those who don't know are easy to be fooled.
When Zhang Fan and Xuanyuanxing dragged such a box of gold bricks out of the hole, the pirates immediately couldn't stand it. He rushed to Zhang Fan and Xuanyuanxing from the hiding place, greeting his accomplices on the ship! Good boy, thousands of pirates poured from the sea to the peninsula. That scene is spectacular!
Zhang Fanxuanyuan star immediately threw down the gold bricks, flew off the ground, and fled in panic. The pirates who left these heads were seduced and killed by dozens of boxes of gold bricks and silver in the cave!
At this time, the pirate group led by Wang Hu also participated, trying to suppress the peripheral pirate group of these Wang Zhi pirate groups. However, he does not have the prestige of 'Pure Sea King'. In the face of huge interests, no pirate leader still buys him! As a result, it can be imagined that a chaotic battle started in the mountain pass!
At this time, the hidden Daming sailors in the bay have blocked the only channel in the bay. More Ming officers and soldiers also drilled out of the hidden ground on the peninsula and surrounded the mountain pass!
This is a dead end! Zhang Fan and Xuanyuanxing, who had been watching the battle through the telescope in Muyuan for a long time, were relieved to see the tragic massacre below and the raging fire burning pirate ships in the bay. This trip to China not only got the 'certificate of the four seas', but also helped the court eliminate the Japanese pirates who severely harassed the coastal people, and changed history! What's more, I got a real treasure map that is likely to be the 'King of Pure Sea' Wang Zhi! The harvest is beyond imagination!
At the end of the battle below, Zhang Fanxuan and the book demon have received a ring reminder: with your efforts, with the supervision of the left servant Hu Zongxian of the Imperial History Department, to complete the hidden task of 'the destruction of the Japanese pirates' in advance to save the people and water and fire along the coast of China...
"Let's go to Luzon Island and see what Wang Zhi left us..." Zhang Fan asked Xuanyuanxing to turn Muyuan and fly to Luzon Island. "That strange woman Wang CuiQIAO seems to be also on Luzon Island, which is just lucky..."
............
Wang Zhi's treasure land is really hidden! If it weren't for the detailed guidance of the chart, no one would have found it. In the depths of a narrow bay near the Gulf of Luzon in Luzon, the Philippines, it would be a straight treasure. And this treasure place also goes up a river deep in the bay to a cave! The treasure place is a huge Chinese sea boat! I don't know how Wang Zhi found this place and how he brought such a big sea ship in!
When Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan entered the depths of this tall cave, they found a large area of human corpses lying here. Judging from the rotten clothes, many of them are Japanese pirates. Their throat bones and abdominal bones were black, and they were clearly poisoned to death! It seems that Wang Zhi made a cruel move in order to hide this secret! And these Japanese pirates tried their best to drive the sea ship to this Jedi, and it is estimated that they finally dragged the ship in! I can't imagine that this place has become their cemetery!
This sea ship is actually a Daming standard sea ship, which is known as the strongest wide ship among the four major ships in China! This kind of ship is characterized by a long head, wide upper and narrow lower, thin and pointed bottom, small beam arch and small deck ridge arc. The transverse structure of the hull is composed of tight ribs and compartments, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by the keel. Strong structure, good airworthiness and endurance.
This ancient sailboat is similar in size to the famous lucky boat, but the shipbuilding materials are more exquisite. It is made of iron wood unique to the southern subtropics, which is much stronger than the lucky boat made of pine wood. If the Guangchuan collides with the Fuchuan, the Fuchuan will be completely defeated!
This standard wide ship is the legendary 'eight-trough ship', that is, there are more than eight watertight compartments! It's a three-masted sailboat. It is 30 meters long and 10 meters wide, with a displacement of nearly 300 tons. On the old fan-shaped red hanging sail, you can actually see a five-clawed golden dragon pattern! This is obviously a Royal warship of the Ming Dynasty!
Judging from the standard of the ship and the five-clawed dragon pattern on the surface of the sail, its identity is ready to come out. This ship should be a standard warship in the fleet of Sanbao eunuch Zheng He went to the West during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty! Because in Zheng He's fleet, the strong wide ship built by Tielimu must be a warship used as a guard.
"Hey! Aken is right. Our 'Shengyi' does have a chance to improve on this trip to China!" Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he saw the Guangzhou ship, "Compared with Wang Zhi's treasure, this sea ship is more precious!" Look at its rudder, but the legendary porous rudder has diamond-shaped holes on the rudder blade, which can minimize the resistance caused by the eddy current when the water flows through the small holes of the rudder blade, thus making the ship rotary and easy to operate. Europeans learned from China very late!"
Zhang Fan immediately summoned the 'Shengjiao'. The two big ships were lined up side in this wide cave, but they did not look crowded. This time, the 'Shengyi' seemed to be very urgent. Unexpectedly, it shook the cable by itself, pulled down the unique fan-shaped hanging sail of the wide ship and hung it directly on its mast! Then he seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he turned into a huge dragonfly and rushed to the wide boat. After twisting for more than half an hour, he ran out lazily and turned into a big sailboat with propellers again.
Zhang Fan carefully checked the attributes of the 'Holy Sui' and found that its mast and hanging sails were replaced with the dark gold props of this Guangchuan! A diamond hole was also opened on the original steering board, and dark gold watertight cabin props were added! This dark gold watertight cabin has transformed the interior space of the 'Shengyi', which not only greatly enhances the durability of the ship, but also increases the capacity of the ship by 50%!
You should know that as early as the Song and Yuan dynasties, Chinese ships have generally set up watertight compartments, and there are several cabins or even dozens of cabins in large ships. The watertight compartment of Chinese ships is well-recognized at home and abroad, and people from many other countries mentioned Chinese ships and praised its watertight compartments and good sink resistance. Western ships did not have watertight compartments until the 18th century.
Because the cabin is closely separated, even if one or two cabin areas are damaged and watered, the water will not flow to other cabin areas during ocean voyages. From the overall point of view of the ship, it still maintains considerable buoyancy and does not sink. If the ship is not seriously damaged and there is not much water, as long as the goods in the water tank area are removed, the damaged place can be repaired without affecting the ship's continued navigation.
