    "If it weren't for the fact that this old guy was already old, Du Ziteng would really want to go up and knock him to the ground right now and beat him up.

    "The reason why I want to make these things is because these are the ultimate tools for building ships."

    Liu Deng smiled, stretched out his hand to stop Du Ziteng, and then continued.

    "My old man has been building boats all his life. Why didn't I know that these things are needed for boat building?"

    ¡°Obviously Chen Boan is not that easy to fool. After all, he has been working in this shipyard all his life, and he is naturally very familiar with the things needed for shipbuilding.

    "How about you let me show you an example for the elderly?"

    Liu Deng was not angry at all. Anyway, these things had to be handed over to the boatmen for use.

    ¡°After all, they still have to do the hard work. The most that he, the king, can do is serve as a strategic guide.

    "Then my old man will wait and see!"

    As he spoke, Chen Boan bowed his hands to Liu Deng very rudely, holding his neck stiff from beginning to end, refusing to lower his arrogant head.

    Liu Deng suddenly felt that this old man was really lucky to have no children.

    ??????????????????????? Otherwise, just his father's mouth would be a supreme weapon to bring trouble to his children.

    "You must be curious, what is this wooden shelf used for? This thing is used to lift heavy objects, come here!"

    As Liu Deng spoke, he pointed to the neatly coiled hemp rope next to him, and then directed a soldier beside him to thread the hemp rope into the pulley above.

    If it weren¡¯t for the urgency, Liu Deng would even want to replace all the wooden shelves on both sides with steel ones.

    "It's just because there aren't many iron ores around Buqi City, and transporting it from Jinyang would take too long and cost too much, so we gave up.

    These pulleys were specially brought by Liu Deng from Jinyang. Each set of pulleys is a ratchet wheel, with a fixed pulley and a movable pulley.

    For this thing, Liu Deng came and went, but he wrote seven or eight letters before finally finalizing all the details with Cai Xin.

    "Can these things also lift heavy objects?"

    Watching Liu Deng tossing and tossing and getting seven or eight rolls of hemp rope, Chen Boan looked at Liu Deng with a puzzled look.

    "Of course, elder, you have to keep an eye on it!"

    As Liu Deng spoke, his eyes directly focused on the neatly stacked pile of wood in the corner next to him.

    These are all leftover materials from the previous shipyard. These are fine pine and cypress wood, which have only been briefly roughed.

    The weight of this pile of wood alone is estimated to be three to four thousand kilograms.

    Seeing Liu Deng¡¯s eyes resting on the pile of wood, Chen Boan¡¯s pupils immediately began to shrink.

    With a smile on his face, Liu Deng directed his two soldiers to step forward, took two rolls of hemp rope, divided them into two sections, and then tied the wood tightly.

    "Can this be done?"

    "I'm disgusted. Although these two people are tall and strong, the wood weighs three to four thousand kilograms just by the strength of the two of them. How is it possible?"

    The master craftsmen in these shipyards are all veteran shipwrights. They are naturally very familiar with these things.

    Just by looking at the volume of the wood, you can probably calculate the weight of the wood.

    "Pull up!"

    Liu Deng listened to them whispering behind him, but he didn't explain too much to them. He just directed his two soldiers to pull the rope upwards hard.

    None of the soldiers around Liu Deng had any doubts about Liu Deng's orders.

    Since the king said to pull up, they couldn't embarrass the king no matter what. Although they knew that they might make a fool of themselves, they still used all their strength.

    "Crack-pull-pull"

    What they didn¡¯t expect was that as the two of them exerted their strength, the two hemp ropes under their hands were suddenly stretched a lot.

    The wood weighing three to four thousand kilograms was actually pulled up in the air by the two of them!

    This time, not only the two of them were stunned on the spot, but even the people watching next to them were all dumbfounded.

    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the way the two of them looked just now, it was obvious that they used too much force, and their hands have now left the rope, and the wood is still hanging in the air.

    Chen Boan is even moreHis face was in disbelief, and he looked at Liu Deng with confusion.

    "These things are used to carry heavy objects. The approximate force that a rope can bear should be about two thousand kilograms!"

    Liu Deng said with a smile.

    "But, butthere is no need for such heavy things in the shipyard"

    Although everyone can see it, Chen Boan is finally in trouble this time.

    However, there were still a few young disciples who spoke for him in low voices.

    "This, this is not a spell?"

    Chen Boan glared at them fiercely, then turned around, grabbed Liu Deng's sleeve and asked.

    "Of course these are not spells, they are just the application of some power. Anyone can do what they do! Even you, the old man, should be fine!"

    Liu Deng¡¯s face was full of smiles, and he motioned to Chen Bo¡¯an with his hand, indicating that he could go up and give it a try.

    The old man really had the spirit of not believing in evil. He walked forward swaggeringly, reached out and pulled the hemp rope with hesitation.

    But it didn¡¯t matter if he pulled it. The other end of the wood was obviously much shorter. Fortunately, Liu Deng had quick hands and eyes and pulled the other rope, which prevented the wood from falling to the ground.

    "What a wonderful workmanship! What a wonderful workmanship! What is the name of this thing? Does it have other effects?"

    Chen Bo'an's eyes immediately lit up. If you want to build a big ship, transporting wood and splicing wood are indeed laborious tasks, but if you have this thing, it will be a lot more convenient!

    "This thing is called a gantry crane. As long as you lift these heavy objects into the air, and then use animal power to pull the wheels, you can transport them to any location within the dock!"

    Liu Deng smiled and pointed to the side, and Chen Boan discovered that the wooden shelves nearby all had wheels on them.

    And the wheels used are all solid wheels cast from pure iron.

    He immediately understood it. It seemed that he only needed to wear things like cows and horses to move around freely!

    "Wonderful, it is indeed wonderful! But in this small shipyard, so many gantry and gantry cranes are made, isn't it a bit overkill?"

    ¡°I really don¡¯t blame the old man for this. The longest sea-going ships they usually build are only twenty or thirty meters long.

    The total weight of the entire ship is only about four to five thousand kilograms. The amount of spliced ??wood that usually needs to be transported is only a few hundred kilograms.

    Liu Deng These gantry cranes measured in kilograms are indeed overkill when placed here.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
