The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 581: Improve the comfortable life on the battleship

The blue sky gives me many dreams!

The bright water and the white trails that cut through the water outside the porthole deeply attracted the attention of Deputy Captain Yan Donglai. He closed his diary and was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Yan Donglai is definitely not the first brother. He has seen a lot of seascapes, but the seascapes seen from the new battleship are very different.

This is the largest battleship in the Southeast Mansion, with 76 guns and 32-pound guns.

All navies other than this ship must envy him!

Even after staying on this big ship for ten days, Yan Donglai still feels comfortable!

Perhaps, I should sleep for a while and enjoy the precious time that belongs to me, which is rare when I command at sea.

Yan Dong came to live in the stern senior officer's cabin, a single room!

Not as big as the captain's, but with a five-meter-wide bed, a small table, a potted plant can be placed on the table, and a comfortable seat, so that he is already satisfied.

Compared with all battleships, the new battleship has improved the living environment of officers. The officers of other battleships generally live in single rooms only for captains, and at least two senior officers live in them. This battleship has two luxurious suites with a bathroom and a bedroom. And the living room, one of the suites belonged to the captain, and the other suite was reserved for senior officers.

There are four small single rooms, assigned to three deputy captains and navigator captains, and six double rooms, which are much more comfortable than all warships.

As for the sailors, the environment they live in has improved, their per capita area has increased (0.2 square meters more), and the center of gravity of the battleship has been lowered. They are sturdy and stable. They are not easy to capsize in wind and waves, and they are usually unstable. Bumpy.

An insulation layer was added below the open deck, and five large ventilation towers were built on the open deck, which is very eye-catching! ,

The metal plate and felt shading on the top of the ventilation tower uses fan blades and multiple air inlets inside, which are blown by the wind on the deck or the hot air on the deck, thereby driving the airflow under the deck to rise and bring out the heat on the deck. Air, and then **** in fresh air from the air inlet to promote air circulation.

Of course, all entrances are well protected, and they can be closed in time to prevent water from flowing in when there is wind and rain.

This has greatly improved the living and working environment of the sailors. The conditions of the previous battleships were very difficult. The scorching sun in Southeast Asia made the cabin of the battleship at one or two o'clock in the afternoon look like a huge oven!

The personnel could not rest in the cabin at all, and coupled with the high-intensity training, many officers and soldiers suffered from skin diseases!

The improvement of the ventilation conditions allows everyone to at least know how to write the word "cool", and at least they can stay in the deck cabin of the battleship at noon.

And everyone’s food conditions have also improved. The fleet’s meals are already good. In addition to the necessary bread, compressed dry food and dried meat, dried fish, simmered meat, instant noodles, tea, jam, and dried vegetables, fried chicken has also been added. , Barbecue steak, toasted bread, baked cakes, homemade desserts, etc., such as the "Yokang" introduced by the Southeast Prefecture from the country of Japan.

Yokan originated in China, and then it was introduced to Japan and became a local traditional snack. In the early days, yokan was indeed a soup made by adding mutton, and then cooled to serve as a frozen meal. In the later period, yokan was introduced to Japan, but from the Kamakura period to the Muromachi period, the Zen Buddhism was introduced. Because the monks cannot eat meat, the yokan gradually evolved into a jelly-shaped food made of beans.

The initial method of making yokan was mainly made by mixing adzuki beans and wheat flour, and then steaming them.

In the 17th year of Tensho (1589), Yoshiyuki Okamoto, the owner of the Suruga shop in Wakayama, modified the original yokan and added Hantian (a dried vegetable made from the sun) to the filling and solidified in a jelly shape after being boiled. It is similar to modern "agar") to make refined yokan, and the shape of the yokan is consolidated into a square with bamboo poles.

This toy is really delicious and looks beautiful. The surface is smooth, dense and translucent and light-receiving. It can be called a piece of art no matter how it looks. It can be eaten as dessert or afternoon tea.

Of course, there are Chinese-style cloud slice cakes, date flower cakes, pretzels, Cantonese oil corners and so on.

Sometimes the dinner starts with the Fujian-style run-cai bing, which is a local flavor snack in southern Fujian. It is similar to spring rolls. It is made in a thin, almost transparent dough and wrapped with rich ingredients. It is served with dipping sauce and chilled. Just eat.

The filling is based on seasonal fresh vegetables and local specialties, with red carrots as the main ingredient, adding bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, egg peel, pork leg, egg fried leeks, bacon diced, and chopped Thin strips of roast meat, coriander, water celery, etc., including all kinds of small stir-fries, can be greeted into the noodles (do the northern friends become more familiar with them?), they are especially rich and delicious.

Fruits are indispensable. The supply of coconuts, mangos, papaya, bananas, pineapples, grapefruits, oranges, watermelons, etc., can be supplied by officers and soldiers. In particular, coconuts are very popular because they are rich in water and nutritious. Let's eat one on the warship, just two words!

Soldiers have a rich diet and change them frequently. If they are not trained well, they can easily get fat.

On the new battleship, the storage capacity for fresh water has been increased, and a large silver alloy water tower has been activated!

Silver ions can sterilize, thereby prolonging the storage time of fresh water.

There is a danger of heavy metal poisoning, but it is better than drinking the water from the Romans who drank lead pipes. The release of silver ions was very slow and hard to cause toxic damage.

Therefore, there are many tower cabinets on the "Southeast Asia 10" battleship, and the cost is high, but it is not hesitating!

How much silver does a ten cubic mercury tower cost? Even if it is alloy, the people from the Southeast Mansion are convinced by Young Master Yan. This guy puts all his money into the welfare of the army and the people, and he has almost no savings!

At the same time, there is a coal bunker.

Coal is used to heat food, not cold biscuits and dried meat.

Serve hot food, while living on the sea, add an egg to your warm bowl of smoky noodles, pour two bottles of rum, and let you dare to single out the sharks in the water!

When warships are anchored in different places, there will be local flavor dishes, such as a variety of seafood and fresh meat dishes, sea fish, prawns, crabs, shellfish, etc., so that the officers and soldiers will be uniformly supplied.

This kind of food supply was second to none in the navies of all countries at that time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The southeast prefecture commander Yan Changwu attached great importance to the navy, which is unmatched by any country in the world.

The standard of food is high and the cost is huge. The emphasis is on Chen Zhongji, the Prime Minister of the Southeast Government, as the commander of the three armed forces. One of the important duties is to supervise the army's food. Once there is a problem with the food, Chen Zhongji will be held accountable and dare not take it lightly.

The design of future battleships has been based on the "Southeast Asia No. 10" battleship, improving the living environment, improving the quality of food, plus rich bonuses, good promotion mechanism and good placement after retirement. The morale of the Southeast Army is quite high, and the enlistment rate is also good. High, this regards the navy and even the army as a career rather than a profession, and its combat effectiveness is completely different.

The situation of seafarers and navies of other countries is quite different. Due to the difficult conditions and high risks, even if there are many adventurers in the red hair fan, they are often short of personnel. They have to avoid unskilled navy and merchant marine personnel, foreign seafarers, released slaves, and detainees. The sentenced smugglers, volunteers, and seaside fishermen are supplemented with manpower. Such manpower is uneven. Once a battle with the Southeast Army, the outcome is self-evident.
