Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

Chapter 349 Fighting Jianghua Again (9)

Goryeo, Tamna.

"What, it takes so long for the ships to launch! No, no, the fleet is anxiously waiting for these two ships to form a two-ship formation! You have to speed up the speed of repairs, how about this? A group of Korean prisoners of war came to serve as coolies, and you have to work harder yourself. Three shifts will take turns to repair, and we will change people without stopping work. We must shorten the construction period of these two bird ships to less than one month! How about it, do you have any? Confidence to complete this daunting task?"

"Liu Gong, it can't be done. It will take at least a month for the internal stress of the ship to settle down. Even if we rush to work overnight and build the ship as quickly as possible, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter service in a short time! Besides, even if the ship doesn't count its lifespan , Barely launched into the water, is our artillery inventory enough to outfit these two ships? As far as I know, Master Bao has not been able to produce artillery so far. The ship cannot be fully armed! If you are really free, you might as well urge the blacksmith to hurry up and develop the artillery! As long as the artillery can be in place in time, our side will not delay the navy brothers to receive the new ship..."

Looking at Liu Laoliu, the magistrate of Tamna Prefecture, who was wearing a blue tunic with a collar, a leather belt around his waist, and no black hat, bossing around five people and six people there, Yue Heli also showed a dissatisfied look on his face!He is a technical person, but he will not flatter and flatter superior officials like some spineless guys!In this guy's opinion, Ding is Ding, and Mao is Mao. Sea ships are tools for carrying people across the ocean, and they can't be sloppy in construction. Nonsense!After all, if the ship has any problems during the voyage, or even capsizes and sinks, as the general person in charge of shipbuilding, I will bear the main responsibility!Now the old guy slapped his head and ordered himself to speed up the construction indiscriminately. In his eyes, it was obviously a manifestation of greed for big things, and this kind of reckless life, he and others would never agree!However, in view of the fact that the other party is a big boss who is under one person and above ten thousand people, he is just an insignificant little person, and his small arms can't twist his thigh after all!So he pondered over and over again, and gave a more pertinent answer!

"Well, there is some truth in what you said. If the artillery is not produced, even if you build the ship, it will be useless! In this way, I will go to the blacksmith's workshop today to see what Bao Dazhong said, and come back with me You discuss the production of this ship..."

Seeing Yue Heli, the ship engineer, showing embarrassment and evading words in his mouth, Liu Laoliu couldn't help being furious!But his current identity is no longer a lowly boatman busy barefoot on a sea boat after all, he must pay attention to his official dignity and not let others look down on him!So I could only cough violently a few times to cover up the anger in my heart!Relying on his own seniority and age, this fellow has always been one-sided in the group of Chiyang. Even if the leader is a guerrilla in the East China Sea, Kang Lin, who is also the governor of Youshuiying in Jeolla Province in Korea, has to be courteous when he sees him. , How have you ever been contradicted like this?And his dental soldier, after seeing how his boss behaved, he knew that the incomprehensible guy in front of him had unknowingly offended his master Zhizhou, so he didn't hesitate and hugged him immediately. The latter got on the green cloth warm sedan chair carried by four people, and then the group drove to Nanshan where the blacksmith workshop is located, leaving only a group of shipbuilders looking at each other, at a loss!

"Work, work, everyone get busy! Didn't you hear the order from Master Zhizhou? If the construction period is delayed, be careful that the old man wants you to look good..."

Watching Liu Laoliu get into the warm sedan chair carried by four people, and gradually disappear from his field of vision surrounded by tooth soldiers and his entourage, Yue Heli couldn't help spitting thick phlegm on the ground!Then he lost his temper at a group of subordinates who were watching the fun. Liu Laoliu's official position is too high, he can't afford to offend him, and he can't afford to offend him, so he can only use the methods of his subordinate craftsmen to get rid of the evil in his heart. Evil fire!Fortunately, he is the boss here. After seeing him get angry, the guys around who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles immediately withered, and returned to their posts with their heads drooping, and started to work hard!

They must seize the time to repair the two bird ships on the berth and enable them to enter service as soon as possible!Otherwise, my boss can offend Master Zhizhou by relying on his skills, but these little roles like myself can't afford to offend his old man!You must know that another hidden identity of this old man is Chi Yang, who is under one person and over ten thousand people, the chief executive. If he offends him, he will probably really be overwhelmed and walk away!As long as the latter moves his lips in a rage, there will be a lot of sycophants who are good at catering and stick to the necks of people like him!

Such things as deduction of salaries are too bad and prone to accidents. They may not dare to do it, but if they give themselves poor-quality copper coins and silver taels, and mix sand in rice grains, these people will be ambiguous in order to flatter their horses. Do it with a conscience!Anyway, if something really happened, their backer, Liu Laoliu, the head of Tamna Town Guard Mansion and Tamna Zhizhou, would not really sit idly by!This old man is well-known as a protector among the big bosses in Chiyang, and with him, he will never allow others to frame his subordinates for no reason!Otherwise, if the hearts of the people are scattered, he will be the number one confidant under the leadership of the leader, and I am afraid that no one will dare to come and serve him in the future...

Well, let's get back to business and turn our attention back to the bustling shipbuilding scene!Thanks to the hydraulic sawing machine to help cut the wood, and the human crane to transport the ship materials, the difficulty of building the bird ship has been greatly reduced by Chiyang craftsmen, and at the same time, the time required has also been greatly shortened!Under the command of experienced craftsmen, these apprentice craftsmen, who have undergone simple training, form a working group of three or five people, stand on high scaffolding and continue to carry out carpentry work on the prototype of the ship!All of a sudden, the sound of cutting, transporting, smashing, shouting, and various sounds continued to ring out over this small primary shipbuilding factory, and the flying small sawdust made people almost suffocate!However, it was all worth it, because with their unremitting efforts, two sailboats with sharp bows and low hulls quickly took shape on the berth!

That is the bird boat urgently needed by Liu Laoliu and a group of Chiyang high-level executives, a small lucky boat that can paddle and sail, and fly freely in the offshore area!This kind of ship can not only carry several powerful front-mounted smoothbore guns, which pose a great threat to the Korean board house boats, but also can stretch out long oars and sculls to add extra power to the ship, making it flexible and maneuverable. After finishing the latter, if you add the crane-wing hard sails that are already on the bird boat, it will be like a lion fighting a rabbit against a board house boat, reducing dimensionality!Of course, as a junior ship engineer certified by the system, Yue Heli did not completely copy the design in the ship book, but made appropriate improvements to address the shortcomings of this ship!

At least, he decisively abandoned the open bow!This guy not only designed the bow of the self-made bird boat to be sealed according to the design of the boat, but also installed a steel ram on it, so that the ship can be hit by the wind when fighting in the future. Plow those Goryeo boats!After all, in the naval battles of Ganghwa and Jeju, the reason why the Chiyang warship was able to crush the Korean ships was not only supported by artillery, but also the steel ram angle temporarily suspended on the bow also played a big role. With these iron plates With the help of Chiyang, Chiyang's high bow can slap those Korean boats and auxiliary ships like cucumbers!

Therefore, when designing and improving the self-made bird boat, this guy wrapped the sealed and sharp bow with a ram made of fine iron!In addition, in order to give full play to the power of the artillery on the bird ship, Yue Heli, Chiyang's chief ship expert, also made certain improvements on the gun positions!Different from other East Asian sea powers in this world, and even the Ming Dynasty’s brutal practice of directly fixing artillery on warships, this guy imitated the design of European sailing warships, built artillery slide rails on the sides of self-built ships, and carried out special repairs there. Reinforce!

And in this way, the biggest disadvantage of the Chinese sailboat, which cannot be loaded with a large number of Hongyi artillery due to the shape of the ship, has been cleverly overcome!The combination of arc slide rails and rope pulleys allowed Chiyang, a bird ship with only [-] materials, to be equipped with two nine-pound front-loading smoothbore guns and four six-pound front-loading smoothbore guns. The Franc cannon is completely reduced to a supporting role!In order to reduce the ship's counterweight and load more powerful Hongyi artillery, Yue Heli, who advocates the cannon giant ship doctrine, only symbolically loaded a large Francophone on the bow and stern of the ship!

Of course, in view of the East Asian naval battle at this time, which is used to jumping gangs and seizing ships, this guy also left four carefully crafted large tiger squatting cannons on the deck!If this thing is loaded with the special shotgun newly unlocked by Chiyang boss Kang Lin, it will be the nightmare of all jumping sailors. The latter, propelled by high-quality gunpowder, can easily penetrate and tear apart the enemy's body at a certain distance. , and disassemble the enemy's sampan boat into parts!

In addition, in order to increase the structural strength of the self-built ship, Yue Heli also used iron components in key parts such as the keel of the ship!This is also one of the products that Chiyang Blacksmith United Workshop can temporarily manufacture in batches!With these things to help strengthen the ship, Master Yue is absolutely confident that the ship he built can withstand the "gale wind and huge waves" on the North Sea!If it weren't for Chiyang not discovering copper ore resources, and his own foundation is too weak, Yue Heli would also want to wrap the bottom of the warship with copper skin, that thing can effectively resist the erosion of sea maggots and barnacles during sailing!There are too few warships available in Chiyang right now, if it is not necessary, it is best not to reduce the number of non-combat personnel on a single ship!
