Chapter 1129 Collision of Thoughts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°All details require detailed demonstration. After all, everything on the picture is just Liu Deng¡¯s imagination.

    However, in the eyes of these master craftsmen who have been dealing with ships all their lives.

    Although there are still many errors and omissions in this drawing, it must be said that this drawing opened the door to a new world for them.

    Many times, what people lack is the power to pierce the window paper, and this drawing perfectly achieves this.

    Although these craftsmen don¡¯t actually have much cultural literacy, they have accumulated countless experiences after all.

    In the collision with their thoughts, Liu Deng suddenly had a lot more ideas.

    The group of people talked more and more enthusiastically. Until the sky slowly darkened, Liu Deng still felt that he still had unfinished business.

    Although Chen Bo'an is already in his early seventies this year, he is full of energy at this time.

    It was like I was back when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at this drawing and discussing the details with Liu Deng.

    The scenery at the seaside actually looks like the same thing. The eldest princess came back an hour ago.

    He looked curiously at Liu Deng sitting with these boatmen, arguing nonstop about something.

    At this moment, Liu Deng was filled with strong self-confidence. When he was sitting with the boatmen, if he hadn't looked at his clothes, he might have been mistaken for an experienced craftsman.

    "Your Highness, should we"

    Seeing the sky slowly getting dark, Cheng Liu asked in a low voice.

    "No need to disturb him, I have nothing to do anyway, just stay here and listen!"

    Seeing Liu Deng talking non-stop, the eldest princess smiled slightly and stopped Cheng Liu directly.

    "No!"

    Cheng Liu stopped talking and immediately stepped aside.

    When it was completely dark, and seeing that Liu Deng still had no intention of finishing, Du Ziteng immediately ordered the soldiers around him to start preparing food for the night.

    After all, this is just a newly built dock, and the ingredients are really limited. The cooks accompanying the army really can¡¯t make anything good.

    ¡°However, Liu Deng didn¡¯t mind what they served.

    ¡°Everyone is eating, let¡¯s talk while eating!¡±

    Liu Deng completely forgot about the presence of the eldest princess and just greeted the craftsmen to start eating.

    A huge bowl of noodles, paired with a few boiled vegetables, a few cut fish balls, sprinkled with red spicy pepper, and of course, a small plate of pickles, and a plate of canned fish.

    For these boatmen who have worked hard all their lives, this is already a hearty dinner. After all, what they eat at home is far less than this.

    ¡° However, when they saw that Liu Deng¡¯s dinner plate was exactly the same as theirs, everyone had a different feeling in their hearts.

    ¡°After all, all the kings in this world like luxury more than the other. It is said that King Jiaodong¡¯s dinner required a full three hundred guan in terms of ingredients alone.

    "Your Majesty, you"

    Chen Boan's eyes were a little complicated.

    Originally, he thought that Liu Deng was just like those princes, all of them luxurious and extravagant people, but he didn't expect that Liu Deng's dinner was exactly the same as theirs.

    ¡°Old man, this is what the king eats on weekdays!¡±

    Du Ziteng whispered from the side.

    "Your Majesty, do you usually eat this?"

    The way the great craftsmen looked at Liu Deng was also different.

    "I don't really pay much attention to eating and drinking, so let's talk while eating! I still feel that our discussion on paper is too shallow after all. How about we try to build a small boat during this period?  ?¡±

    Liu Deng waved his hand and changed the topic directly. After all, what is there to talk about about eating and drinking?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The bumpkins in Chang'an city, none of them have even tasted stir-fry, how do they know what delicacies are?

    "Your Majesty is right. We haven't made much progress just by talking on paper here. Whether this method will work or not, we still need to build a ship. Only then can we see clearly!"

    Chen Bo'an slapped his thigh and was the first to stand up to support Liu Deng's decision.

    "Mr. Chen is right, I think we should start tonight! We will start immediately after dinner. The wood and other materials are all ready-made. Let's build a ten-foot-long ship based on this drawing."??  "

    "As for the fifty-foot-long ship, they really can't build it now, but there is absolutely no problem with the ten-foot-long ship.

    "I think it's okay! It's just that, Your Majesty, I still don't quite understand why the bottom of this ship has to be so deep?"

    Chen Boan finally asked the question he was most confused about.

    After all, in this day and age, all boats are flat-bottomed boats. The deeper the boat, the greater the strength required for paddling!

    "Look, old man, our current ships are all flat-bottomed boats. If we sail in the near sea, of course there is no problem, but what if we go to the open sea? The wind and waves in the open sea are huge. If the draft at the bottom of the ship is not deep enough, a gust of wind and waves will blow by.  I'm afraid it will capsize immediately. If we build such a huge ship, is it possible for it to stay huddled in this shallow water?"

    While Liu Deng was speaking, he took out a model of a building ship from the side.

    Then he threw it into the puddle aside, picked up a fan, and fanned it hard on the side. At that time, the two-inch-long warship model was overturned

    Looking at the capsized model, Chen Boan was silent for a long time.

    "Your Majesty, if we follow this idea, can we change the style of our keel?"

    As Chen Boan spoke, he began to make gestures on the ground with his fingers.

    Liu Deng¡¯s original design of the keel was actually very simple. It was just a giant log from beginning to end, with countless ribs extending horizontally from it.

    But Chen Boan¡¯s thinking is different now. Of course, one main keel is the most important, running through the front and rear of the entire ship. Then, two auxiliary keels are installed on both sides of the main keel.

    In this way, the stress on the main frame can be greatly reduced, the requirements for materials are reduced, and the stability of the ship can also be greatly enhanced.

    "That's great! I think it's feasible!"

    Liu Dong just thought for a moment and immediately agreed with Chen Boan's opinion.

    Although there are countless giant trees in this era, compared to the giant ships that were nearly a hundred meters long in the later period.

    No matter how old the wood is, its strength is still far from enough!

    "Actually, if the keel can be made of pure steel, the ship should be able to be built larger"

    "A keel made of pure steel? How much does this ship have to weigh? Can it float?"

    Liu Deng¡¯s words immediately made these master craftsmen fall into confusion again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
