Daming pirates

After everyone received Yu Xiaotian's confirmed answer, they couldn't help but get excited. Ma Xiao rushed over and lay down next to the ship model, his tongue dripping onto the side of the ship. He wanted to stick out his tongue and lick the ship.

mold.

Yu Xiaotian pulled Ma Xiao away and said with a smile: "Be gentle! This boat is not strong! Many places are glued together! Some places are simply put on empty. You can take it apart to see the structure inside. You

If you lie down like this and crush me to pieces, my ten nights will be in vain! Can you afford to pay for it?"

Ma Xiao was so frightened that he quickly grinned away, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Just scare me, Master! I don't have the ability! If it's broken, I can't repair it. You all saw that, I don't have the ability."

Bump it, if it’s broken, it’s none of my business! Hehe!”

Ma Xiao's performance was immediately despised by everyone.

Yu Xiaotian removed many parts of the ship one by one. These parts are all movable and can be removed or installed at any time, allowing others to easily see the internal structure of the hull and the structure of some transmission components.

Seeing this, Guo Fu and others admired Xiaotian even more. Even if they were asked to make such a ship model, they might not be able to make it, and they would make it so finely and thoughtfully.

Yu Xiaotian thought triumphantly: Now I have suppressed you guys. I used to be a master at this, and with the help of a few joiners, it will not be easy to do this! Hehe!

After Yu Xiaotian removed some parts, he asked Guo Fu and others to observe the structure inside. After recovering, he asked Guo Fu and others:

"That's it for the ship model. I've tried my best to take everything into consideration! The next thing is your business. According to this ship model, start building a new ship.

I don't care about the structure. Use your own methods to make it as strong as possible for me. Don't think about saving on materials. All stress-bearing structures are made of good wood!

If you have any problems, just ask me and we will find a solution together! In short, I will need this kind of ship in the future. You can discuss it. How long will it take to build it? "

Guo Fu and others bowed to accept the order, and with several masters from the boathouse, they began to discuss around the model of the ship. After a while, they asked Xiaotian:

"Master, how big is this boat Master plans to build? This is our first time building it. How much material will we need to build it?"

Yu Xiaotian had a headache when it came to building a ship of large materials. In later generations, the size of ships was calculated based on displacement and tonnage. However, in this era, Chinese shipbuilding craftsmen used materials as a unit.

However, it is difficult to tell how much a material is in units of materials. It is also difficult for Yu Xiaotian to figure out how materials are calculated. Only after getting to know these shipwrights did he roughly know that in terms of materials,

One material is about ten cubic feet. Generally speaking, if converted into tonnage, the tonnage of the third material is about one ton. In this way, Yu Xiaocai roughly figured out how big the unit of material is.

When Guo Fu and others asked how much material it took to build the first ship, Yu Xiaotian thought about it and said: "Since it is the first ship, let's build it smaller first, and use one hundred and fifty materials."

Make it according to the size, you can enlarge it according to the specific proportion!"

The displacement of a ship made of 150 materials is about fifty tons. Even in this era, it is not a big ship. It is more convenient and easier to build. With the current technical strength of Nanyue Island Boathouse,

There is not much pressure to build a ship of this size.

Moreover, once built, this kind of 150-material ship is not weak in strength. It is slightly larger than the bird ship, but its firepower is much stronger. Coupled with its advantages of speed and flexibility, even if it encounters

The Great Fortune Ship may not necessarily be able to defeat it in battle, but at least it has the ability to deal with it. If it can defeat it, it will fight. If it cannot defeat it, it can slip away with oil on its soles. It is very suitable for the use of the sea wolf at the moment.

After setting the tonnage, it was equivalent to waiting for the size. Guo Fu and others began to calculate the construction period based on the tonnage. After several shipwrights discussed for a while, Guo Fu told Yu Xiaotian: "If we go back to the boss, if we are both one hundred

If it costs only fifty materials, I can build one within two months!

But this ship has a lot of ribs, and we are not familiar with the construction method, so if it is built, it will probably take at least four months! I hope you will forgive me!"

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, he felt that the time was a bit long. It took four months for such a small ship. If he wanted to build a large number of such sloops and expand the hull, wouldn't it take even longer?

?

At the moment, he really needs this kind of sloop to expand the strength of his fleet. No matter what the purpose is, it is very urgent. Four months is obviously a bit too long.

So he frowned and shook his head and said: "Four months! No way! It's too long! I also know that you have never seen this type of ship, and it will definitely be slower the first time you build it, but four months is still a bit too long!

Let's do this, three months! Give you three months to complete the first ship and deliver it for trial navigation. In addition, after the main body of the first ship is built, the construction of the second ship will start immediately. By the end of the year, we estimate that

Four or five can be built!

It’s not that I’m making things difficult for you, it’s that time waits for no one and we really can’t afford to wait! You have to think of a way to speed up the speed! If there are not enough manpower, I will find a way for you, and if the materials are not enough, I will give you more materials! If it really doesn’t work,

Just start work day and night at the same time! Shorten the construction period as much as possible!

If you can complete the trial voyage within three months, I will definitely reward you heavily! I will never break my promise!"

Although Guo Fu looked troubled, he saw that Blacksmith Zhang, Blacksmith Lei, and the craftsmen from gunpowder workshops, glass fields and other places on the island had all received a lot of rewards. The craftsmen in their boat house also felt that

A little jealous.

Some time ago, they had nothing to do. They were either repairing existing ships, cleaning the bottom of the ship, or they were on strike. Naturally, their pay was not as good as that of craftsmen in other workshops.

Now that they have finally waited until they can show off their skills, if they cannot meet Yu Xiaotian's requirements, wouldn't they slap themselves in the face?

So Guo Fu and others gritted their teeth and agreed without any further nonsense. They immediately carefully invited the ship model out and sent it to their boathouse to start measuring and cutting materials in preparation for construction.

Of course, before they took away the ship model, Yu Xiaotian still made a request to them. The construction technology and data of this kind of ship were also the top technical secrets of Sea Wolf, and only a limited number of their shipwrights were allowed to watch it, and

Data must not be shared externally, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Guo Fu and others also quickly agreed to this, but for them, there is actually no need to say anything about this kind of thing. People like them rely on their craftsmanship to make a living, and now they can learn a new type of ship.

Construction technology is a dream for them. They don't even have time to keep it secret. How could it be spread and ruin their jobs in the future?

(I’m dizzy! Brother Xingkong, your reward is too much! How embarrassing it makes me! I really deserve it! Hanfeng is here to say thank you! No more nonsense! Two days today

Update! I’ll update another chapter in the afternoon! It’s a special thank you to my brothers!)
