At the Tianjin Shipyard, Liu Jin is inspecting the newly built whaling ship in the shipyard.
During this period of time, due to the various shipbuilding technologies provided by Liu Jin, coupled with Liu Jin's emphasis on and preferential treatment of shipbuilders, especially skilled workers, and of course, the most important thing is that Liu Jin used the advanced management experience of later generations, so that People in the shipyard are learning and building ships at the same time, which has greatly improved the level of technical workers in the shipyard.
Therefore, the Tianjin Shipyard has also been manufacturing some ships one after another. Of course, due to time constraints, large ships like Fuchuan cannot be built for the time being, but boats used for fishing can still be built. of.
The reason why Tianjin has been able to persist to this day is naturally related to Liu Jin's emphasis on shipbuilding and fishing. The original five Dafu ships were temporarily transformed and turned into fishing boats. They go to sea every day and can bring back ten fish every time. Thousands of pounds of sea fish.
¡°Coupled with the fishing boats built specifically for fishing, the daily production of marine fish caught in Tianjin has exceeded one million catties.
A million pounds is 500 tons. This number is naturally not worth mentioning in later generations, but in this era, it is definitely a very terrifying number.
The daily harvest of millions of kilograms of sea fish fills Tianjin with the smell of sea fish. Everyone eats fish for three meals a day, eating fish until they vomit. Even if they have all kinds of cooking skills, people here in Tianjin are still tired of eating fish. I am tired of eating this sea fish and miss the taste of steamed buns.
However, Liu Jin was not satisfied with this, and his eyes were fixed on the whale again.
According to reports from crew members who went out to sea, the number of whales in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea is extremely large, and groups of whales can often be seen.
Because of their huge size, whales have almost no natural enemies in this era. Human beings have always maintained a sense of awe for this giant in the ocean, thinking that this huge whale is a god in the ocean and cannot Not the slightest bit disrespectful.
But Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, knew that whales were full of treasures, so he hung out in the shipyard every day, discussing with the people here in the shipyard to build a special whaling ship.
"The bow of the whaling ship must be reinforced, because once the whale is injured, it will run away desperately. The whale is huge and powerful. Once the structure of the ship is unstable, it is very likely that the entire ship will collapse. fall apart."
In the shipyard, a large ship has not yet been built. It is just a keel. The length of the ship is more than 20 meters, and the width is also seven or eight meters. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is very different from the traditional Fu Ship of the Ming Dynasty in shape. .
Next to the ship, many shipbuilders and workers gathered together. Liu Jin stood in front, with a huge blackboard erected behind him, on which many things were written and drawn with chalk.
Liu Jin is currently giving lessons to the masters and workers of the shipyard to explain the knowledge of the shipyard.
Shipbuilding is a technical job, especially if you want to build a large ship that can go to the ocean, it is even more technical. In this era, people who are technicians have the least status.
These techniques are often passed down from father to son. It is difficult to promote good techniques, and it is also difficult to make progress and development, because both carpenters and blacksmiths are often uneducated people.
In response to this situation, Liu Jin adopted the same strategy as Xishan Coal Industry. Workers and masters in the shipyard all need to take classes. There is a lot to learn in reading, literacy, mathematics, astronomy, etc. , work during the day and attend classes at night, and there are also regular assessments.
Those who pass the assessment can get promotions and salary increases, while those who fail the assessment will be eliminated.
Under such a system, the workers and shipwrights in the shipyard are naturally studying hard and studying hard. Let alone the age of famine, even if it is not an age of famine, there will never be a better place than here in the shipyard. Once you have done your job, the wages are high, the treatment is good, and the status is high, you don't want to leave when you come here, and people outside are also trying to get in.
Wan Carpenter listened carefully to Liu Jin's lectures. The time Liu Jin gave lectures was very precious. He was able to learn a lot from every Liu Jin lecture.
¡°Okay, that¡¯s it for today¡¯s lesson. Let¡¯s go back to study and research, and strive to perfect this whaling ship as soon as possible.¡±
Liu Jin¡¯s lecture lasted for more than an hour. His mouth was dry and he was ready to take a break after class.
"Mr. Liu, is this whale the legendary Kunpeng?"
The atmosphere in class was quite serious, but after Liu Jin announced that get out of class was over, the atmosphere became more lively. Wan Carpenter also raised his hand to Liu Jin.? asked.
"This whale is a whale, and Kunpeng is Kunpeng. Whales are creatures that exist in the ocean in reality. This Kunpeng is something from mythology. How can they be the same."
Liu Jin smiled, shook his head and said, then out of the corner of his eye he saw Li Dongyang coming with some people, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you about this whale."
"This whale is the largest fish in the ocean. The largest whale can be more than ten feet long and weigh more than 300,000 kilograms. It is almost as big as our current largest fortune ship."
Hearing that Liu Jin was going to tell everyone about the whale, everyone suddenly became energetic again. Everyone liked to hear Liu Jin talk about some things outside the Ming Dynasty and the things in the ocean.
On the other side, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao were looking for Liu Jin and found the shipyard. When they heard Liu Jin talking about whale-related things, they immediately became interested. They signaled to the people around them not to make any noise, and they came quietly. Everyone beside them listened quietly.
"More than ten feet?"
"Weights up to 300,000 kilograms~"
"As big as the Dafu Ship~"
When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help but open their mouths. Here in Tianjin, as a large number of sea fish are caught every day, these kinds of big fish are commonplace and are no longer unusual. But after hearing Liu Jin's description of this whale, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Someone kept looking at the big ship in the dock, and the figure of the whale appeared in their mind, imagining how huge the whale was.
As for Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao who had just come over, they looked at each other in disbelief. It was their first time to hear such a huge fish, let alone see it.
"Of course, only the largest whale among whales can have this size, but ordinary whales are also several feet long and weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms. As for whales that weigh tens of thousands of kilograms, they are small whales."
Seeing everyone¡¯s surprised looks, Liu Jin also smiled happily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
