- Mr. Zhao could not leave the county boundary, so Zhao Hao sent his godmother, the little county master and Xiao Zhuzi to Chongming. Because the executive class has already started, Zhao Hao cannot send his godmother back to the capital this time, so he can only ask Chen Huaixiu.
The little county magistrate went to Suzhou City to inspect the city, and took a fancy to the house of Xu Taishi, the former imperial servant, on Shangtang Street outside Changmen. Li Mingyue's vision is really good. It is adjacent to the Lingering Garden to the east, Hanshan Temple to the west, Tiger Hill to the north, and Changmen Canal to the south. It is an excellent location.
Oh, by the way, this place was originally called Guiyuan Temple. When Xu Taishi built the Liuyuan Garden a few years ago, he converted the declining Guiyuan Temple into a residential garden, named Xiyuan, also known as Xiyuan Temple. Therefore, the little county owner plans to name the future department store world ¡®Xiyuan Temple World¡¯!
After hearing the news, Mr. Zhao was shocked and felt a chill on his back. He wanted to stop it, but the little county master acted vigorously and decided to leave. He happily took Ma Xianglan to start designing.
As the head of a scientific sect, Zhao Hao couldn't get in trouble with things like Feng Shui and Kefu, so he could only silently accept this name that made his hair stand on end.
¡°However, the Xu family still has to move, demolish, rebuild and decorate. When the world of Xiyuan Temple is born, it will be the end of the year at the earliest. The little county head asked Xueying to help supervise the work, and planned to use this time to receive all-round guidance from the eldest princess, learn some business skills, and then come back to work hard.
Xiao Zhuzi went back with several books that Zhao Hao was preparing to publish. She is now the editor-in-chief of Tiedi Book Club of Jiangnan Group. She does not have to take care of the daily affairs of the book club. She only needs to ensure the quality of the published books.
For Zhang Xiaojing, she is still qualified for this job. She will proofread the manuscript carefully first, and then show it to her father. If he thinks it is okay, then she will naturally not get into trouble. Then he would give his feedback to Zhao Hao, revise and proofread the manuscript, and then he could publish it with peace of mind.
???????????????????? In fact, she is currently doing the editor-in-chief job, and the real editor-in-chief is Bu Gu. Zhao Hao made this arrangement out of long-term considerations and not to please his future father-in-law. Do you think so, father-in-law?
But this time the two girls left more confidently. Because there is a joint management company established by them. Girls who stay with Zhao Hao are also bound by the company's rules, such as the 'anti-supervision and theft clause', 'combat readiness clause', 'exclusion clause', 'intelligence sharing clause', etc. With these strict guarantees, they can I feel much more at ease and no longer restless.
??~~
After a long and tearful farewell, Mr. Zhao rushed to the Jiangnan Shipyard to inspect the progress of Project No. 1.
Yang Fan, Ma Hu and others were notified at short notice and rushed to the gate of the shipyard to greet Mr. Zhao.
The carriage stopped there and swayed slightly for a quarter of an hour. Mr. Zhao calmly opened the window and smiled at everyone: "I heard that the ship model has come out. I couldn't help but come over to take a look. It's not a surprise inspection." .¡±
"Yes, yes." Yang Fan and others believe that he is a ghost. Fortunately, we are not sloppy, our daily management is meticulous, and all rules and regulations are implemented, so we don¡¯t have to worry too much.
A group of senior shipyard officials hurriedly escorted Young Master Zhao into the factory. Take a car directly to the No. 1 shipyard, which is individually fenced with high walls and guarded by a security squadron day and night.
The convoy passed through two gates and stopped in front of the No. 1 pond.
When Zhao Hao got out of the car, he saw that the pond was empty, and the magnificent Galen ship was nowhere to be found.
¡°Where is our oriental beauty?¡± he asked.
"Masts, keels, ribs and other big items are all over there." Yang Fan pointed to the material preparation yard next to the pond. "The delicate small pieces are kept in the warehouse, and they are all numbered and recorded, corresponding to the drawings for future reference."
Mr. Zhao took off his sunglasses and looked at the seemingly chaotic but actually orderly piles of various ship materials. He smacked his lips and said, "The demolition was really thorough, for such a big ship"
"If we don't take it all apart, we won't be able to figure out the structure inside. For such a big matter, you can't just listen to the words of the carpenter of Folangji." Yang Fan said a little embarrassedly: "And the removed parts can also be used directly as original molds. , which can save a lot of time.¡±
"Can it be assembled again?" Zhao Hao asked with a hint of luck.
"Theoretically, it's possible. It's just a matter of using more nails" Yang Fan was a little unsure and said, "But can it withstand the wind and waves? I can't guarantee it."
"It would be great if we can put it together." Zhao Hao said overjoyed: "It's been hard work. I'll put it together before the end of the year. I'm going to send it to Macau."
I received a letter from Guangdong the day before yesterday. The old man has reached a preliminary agreement with the Portuguese. Once the group signs and seals it, the contract change can take effect.
In the Portuguese¡¯s request, it was emphasized that?Return the 'Governor of Goa' and 'Oriental Beauty', together with their important crew members, intact.
Although Mr. Zhao has said it beforehand, there is no harm in dismantling it, but if we can only send back a bunch of parts, there will be another setback.
And in the past two years, he still doesn¡¯t want to conflict with the Portuguese.
Of course it would be best if you can put them together and send them back.
"Let's go and see your progress." Zhao Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can't wait to see our little beauty."
"Young master, please." Yang Fan invited him to come to the warehouse nearby.
There, Zhao Hao saw Yang Fan¡¯s ship model imitating the Oriental Princess at a scale of 1:15.
¡°It¡¯s a model ship, it¡¯s over four meters long, about the same size as a small sampan. This allows tens of thousands of tedious parts to be scaled down, and the sense of sophistication brought by it is somewhat compromised.
Zhao Hao opened a gun window and looked inside. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs and everything it should have. It was completely restored.
"It is made so big to facilitate research." Yang Fan explained: "This way, if you encounter any problems, you can easily see them when you come over for comparison."
"Hmm." Zhao Hao suppressed the boring idea of ??collecting ship models, straightened up and said, "Remember you said that as long as you build the ship model, you will have a clear idea of ??how to build this ship?"
"Well, I have almost figured out the components, structure, and construction sequence of this Western-style ship." Yang Fan nodded confidently and said:
"And we took it to sea for trial sea trials, which proved that this type of ship is indeed capable. Such a small ship model can stand firm in the wind and waves. No wonder it can launch a salvo on the side."
¡°Then start construction quickly!¡± Zhao Hao urged happily.
"The lumber yard has started to prepare materials." Yang Fan said: "We are going to build a half-sized boat first to give the craftsmen a practice, and then build an eight-cent-sized boat. Only when there is no problem will we build a full-sized boat. In addition, we are building Before the full scale, in addition to the keel ribs, I don¡¯t plan to use hardwood as extravagantly, so let¡¯s make do with pine and fir.¡±
"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, completely agreeing.
He remembered that in another time and space, France in the 18th century, in order to close the huge gap with the British navy, used a large amount of ordinary wood to replace the century-old oak, and built a large number of 74-gun sailing battleships like dumplings, although it was not completed in the end. Too big. But he helped France secure the second largest number of colonies in the world and made great achievements.
¡° Even if those French-made sailing battleships are carefully maintained, their average lifespan is only about twenty years. This is why it is difficult for future generations to see their true appearance.
Although it is a pity that a warship built at a high cost can only be used for twenty years, we have to admit that this is indeed a good way to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the navy.
At the critical moment when war with the Portuguese may start at any time and the Spanish have arrived in Luzon, this is the only way Zhao Hao can meet the challenge.
Fortunately, according to the report of the Tamna Chamber of Commerce, the timber purchased from Japan has been continuously delivered to the Tamna Security Area. According to the arrangement, most of the wood will be shade-dried there for about two years. In other words, in three years' time, a truly luxurious and exclusive version of the sailing battleship can be built using century-old oak.
??~~
Yang Fan looked at Zhao Hao again, hesitated and said: "In addition, through communication with Fo Langji shipwrights, I found that they are not ahead of us in all craftsmanship. So I want to build a few more half-size ships to compare and verify."
"Oh, how do you say it?" Zhao Hao asked with interest.
"The most obvious example is the sail. The soft Western sail on the Oriental Beauty is good-looking and more wind-resistant. But it uses special canvas, which we don't have. And the installation operation is extremely complicated, that is, it uses full rigging. Assistance still requires a large number of sailors to operate it, and it is very dangerous to climb up and down.¡±
"Because our sails have supporting ribs, the material requirements are not high and can be replaced with reed mats. Moreover, it is easy to raise and lower, and sailors can learn to retract and retract it in a few days. Although it is difficult to raise the sail, it can be retracted very quickly. It is critical. At the critical moment, you can cut off the main rope and it will be lowered."
"There is also a very important point. According to the reminder of the maritime representative of the security area, these sails will lose their function once they are shot. But our sails are still functional even if they are riddled with holes. On this point alone, I support Use hard sails on battleships.¡±
In order to enhance his persuasion, he also moved Haldi out Haldi was appointed as the representative of the garrison area, responsible for providing opinions and suggestions for Project No. 1, and collecting in detail various data on the construction and trial of the new warship. In this era, if you can sail a ship, you must also be able to repair it. These are essential jobs in the future.
Zhao Hao finally heard that Yang Fan wanted to compete for the Chinese hard sail.
But it doesn¡¯t hurt to have a fight.
Because Chinese-style sails have unparalleled advantages, they are like the wings of an airplane and have extremely high wind-receiving efficiency. Even when the wind is blowing, a rigid sailboat can sail in a zigzag pattern and can truly take advantage of winds from all directions.
After the Opium War, the British purchased a Qing Dynasty warship with 2,000 materials, the Qiying, and prepared to sail it back to London for research. However, due to a storm and other reasons, it sailed from the Cape of Good Hope to the United States, and then crossed the Atlantic in only 27 days¡ªeven shorter than the time it takes for an American regular cruise ship to cross the Atlantic. During this long voyage, the Chinese-style hard sail withstood various severe tests and proved that it could accompany the warship across the sea.
