ferry.

"Does this bright red dress look good? Is it too bright? But I like red, but this peach color is not suitable for me. How about this bright red dress? It's too gloomy, not good.

." Zhao Qi gestured with several pieces of clothing and asked with a distressed look on his face.

Choosing clothes is her specialty, but now she is very anxious.

Qi Xingyun looked at the pieces of clothing in Zhao Qi's hand, frowned and asked, "Is there any difference between bright red, pink, and dark red?"

Isn't this all red?

After some preparations, Zhao Qi put on the bright red and extremely festive dress from last night and followed Qi Xingyun to the dock.

Qi Xingyun travels in his own car.

You can lie on it, with pure white tulle covering the top, and wind chimes hanging on it. When a gust of wind blows, the tulle sways, and the sweet ringing sound fills your ears.

The people carrying the chariot were not strong men, but four very beautiful women. They were dressed in white gauze and looked very graceful. They were walking very fast and followed Qi Xingyun's driver.

Qi Xingyun listened to Zhao Qi's laughter like a bell, shook his head and said with a smile: "She is still a little girl after all."

Wang Yun pointed to the wide sea in front and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the dock has arrived."

Qi Xingyun originally planned to board the fast boat from here.

This way, the speed is the fastest, the distance is the shortest, and the sea is boundless, so accidents are less likely to happen.

Qi Xingyun's idea was good, but it was a pity that Zhang Tingyu stopped it in time.

The emperor went to sea for the first time in history. No one had ever gone out to sea in a boat!

And there are too many variables at sea. What if the ship capsizes?

Especially since he had fish for lunch that day, Qi Xingyun, who had no taboos, finished one side and turned over the other side.

This was so outrageous that it scared Wang Yun to the point of crying and wanting to die.

It was Zhang Tingyu who persuaded Qi Xingyun. His reasons were very good. When the emperor arrived at sea, where should Zazi be sent?

The sea is endless, with only the starting point and the end point. It is difficult to find where the road is.

The sea surface near the ferry was different from what Qi Xingyun had imagined. The entire sea surface was not a clear blue, but a hazy yellow. It was not until the horizon that a clear yellow-blue line appeared.

Qi Xingyun was a little surprised by the grand scene. He had heard about this sand line, but when he actually saw it, he felt extremely shocked.

The entrance to the Tongtian River is now near the ferry, and the entire entrance is shrouded in dim yellow.

Like a fast boat hanging from the sky, it docks quietly in the harbor, and craftsmen are constantly pushing forklifts to transport goods to the bed.

There are countless ships in the nearby berths, constantly handling cargo, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.

Qi Xingyun stood at the dock and saw countless motorcades coming and going. The vehicles were loaded with wood. The motorcades stretched all the way to the ferry city.

There was not just one workshop in the dock, but several workshops. The berths were busy day and night. Qi Xingyun saw the huge workshop and heard the loud shouting in the workshop, as well as the aroma of grass and wood.

The fishy smell of the sea came.

The sea breeze carried the unique smell of the sea, making Qi Xingyun's clothes rustle.

Qi Xingyun was very curious as he watched the coal trucks being delivered to the dock, and asked with some confusion: "Why are they pulling coal into the dock?"

"In order to dry the wood." Wang Yun said with a smile: "It is a technology brought by the Science and Technology Garden. It probably boils water and uses steam to dry the wood."

When steam dries wood, doesn't it mean that it becomes moister as it dries? What is the truth behind this?

When Qi Xingyun walked to the drying workshop, he saw craftsmen coming in and out, carrying stacks of wood and placing them in the open space.

The plates, keels, masts, and decks are sorted and sorted very cleanly and neatly.

“Is it because Qin Nan’s notice arrived and a thorough cleaning was done, so it’s so clean and tidy?”

"I'm not a fool. When I first came to the throne, I visited the Ordnance Supervisor. Don't you know what the workshop looks like to bully me?" Qi Xingyun looked at the clean and tidy workshop and shook his head.

Wang Yun nodded and looked at Qin Nanshu and Shaocheng who was accompanying him at the dock next to Qin Nanshu. This was self-defeating.

The emperor is not the kind of person who stays in the palace and does not know the sufferings of the people. It is not beautiful to deal with it like this.

"Your Majesty, Hu Hao, is here to see you. Your Majesty is safe and peaceful." Shaocheng from the dock said helplessly.

When the emperor makes an inspection tour, of course he has to clean it up before inspection. Everything will be dirty. How can you let a nobleman inspect it?

Qi Xingyun had no intention of embarrassing Qin Nanshu and Hu Hao. He pointed at the wood and asked, "Why do we need to use steam to dry it? How is this steam dried? Doesn't it get moister the more it is dried?"

Hu Hao pointed to the finished board and said: "This is what the people from the Science and Technology Garden told me. Before this, Daqi used naturally-dried fir. The fir itself is dense, but when it is dried, it can easily crack.

,Transformation.”

"Especially long-branch materials are easier to bend, so if you want to make a plate for ships, in addition to time and craftsmanship, you also need luck."

"And it takes several years to dry, which takes a long time. In the past, when the shipyards destroyed the big ships, they burned all the wood that had been stored for hundreds of years."

Qi Xingyun glanced at Wang Yun, and Wang Yun nodded helplessly. When the emperor started to build the ferry dock, Wang Yun went to search the files left by Emperor Qi Wei. He said with helplessness: "From the city

From the shipping company to Kangji and Tongji, to the planks and to the craftsmen, everything is handled neatly."

"Kill the craftsmen too?" Qi Xingyun asked dumbfounded.

Wang Yun hurriedly said: "That's not true. We moved to the capital and built river boats."

Hu Hao said helplessly: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. We have craftsmen but no materials, and we can't build a ship."

"There is no wood, and the emperor wants to build a new large ship urgently. Even if we have the drawings, we can't build it. Because of the problem of planks, we visited dozens of shipbuilding yards in Jiangnan, but we can't find enough for the emperor to build it."

A new type of ship.”

"Science and Technology Garden told me about this method, saying that it can be dried with steam. It took me three months to confirm that this method can be used."

Qi Xingyun followed Hu Hao and had a good visit to the wood processing workshop of Xia Daqi's shipyard.

The processed boards were put into the kiln and placed neatly. After sealing the kiln door, the coal began to boil water, and the steam quickly spread throughout the kiln.

Hu Hao looked at the red kiln fire and said with emotion: "After the wet wood is cut, it needs to be neatly smoked in the kiln for at least three to five days. At the beginning, we opened the kiln directly, and the wood in the kiln was cured to varying degrees.

There was an explosion."

"Now I wait a whole day for the inside to cool naturally, then open the small door next to it, wait another six hours, open the kiln door half a foot, and wait another six hours before starting to leave the kiln.
