Chapter 284 Ren Yan: Just teasing you~ [Please order in full]

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark yet, Class 9 took the time to start work.

Various wooden boards are marked and divided one by one, and their uses are distinguished by their respective materials.

Which ones are the hulls to withstand wind and waves?

They planned the ones that were responsible for distinguishing them inside the ship one by one.

Overall it looks orderly.

This was also thanks to their previous preparation work. During that time, they probably understood the various textures of wood, plus the help of Wang Yu and his group who had previously explored historical materials.

Everything went smoothly.

All types of wood are completely distinguished before night falls.

They use tough woods such as fir for the hull and deck. As long as the quality of the outer layer is high enough, ordinary wind and waves cannot cause damage at all.

As for a series of softer but extremely tough woods such as redwood, they plan to use them all for cabin construction. Their light texture can better coordinate the overall weight of the ship, and their ability to withstand heavy objects is also good, so they can be used for load-bearing.

After distinguishing these woods, Class 9 immediately felt that the previous feeling came back.

As long as everyone has a clear understanding of the overall situation and plans in advance.

The construction of the hull is much simpler than the keel~

After all, doesn’t the hull completely surround the ship along the keel?

As long as the force calculation is done properly, these problems aren't just watershed?!

Before leaving the warehouse, this thought emerged uncontrollably in the mind of Team Nine.

Based on their 'careful' calculations and estimates.

As long as everyone maintains this working efficiency, if nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to completely surround the entire ship in a week.

After that, they spent another week adding some necessary 'small buildings' throughout the ship. They were done with this ship!

Doesn’t that mean that in about half a month, they will be able to drive their own ship and go on a voyage at the drop of a hat?!

With this thought, Class 9 was not only excited but also a little more expectant.

Along the way, I was chattering about my prospects.

After we get to the sea, we can play whatever we want and where we want to go.

Ren Yan was a little annoyed when he heard this.

But it's okay, according to Ren Yan's current understanding of them.

It is impossible to build a ship without accidents.

After all, even if I have a complete set of processes and various details in my mind, I can't guarantee that I can get it done in such a short time.

It would be even more impossible just by relying on the brats like Class Nine.

Even if they have enough plans, so what?

In the face of reality, plans also need to be revised from time to time.

Moreover, it was their first time, so it was even more impossible.

Sure enough, as noon approached on the second day, everyone in Class 9, who was still in high spirits, could no longer laugh.

Most of them stared at the seemingly built hull and fell into deep contemplation, their brows involuntarily knitted together.

He looked like he had secretly drank a urine test sample.

Although they knew that the hull in front of them was very strong and tough, ordinary impacts would never cause any damage to it.

but.

This thing is leaking after all!

"Is there something serious wrong with you? Why do you have to use mortise and tenon joints to build the hull of the boat?!"

"Also, even if we use mortise and tenon joints, why do we have to choose keel joints? Don't you know how big the gap is between the keel joints?!"

Wang Bo, who has been responsible for business docking recently, rubbed his forehead and looked at Li Qi and others who were mainly responsible for construction.

Li Qi scratched his neck and said with some shame:

"You can't blame us. Isn't this based on the ancient shipbuilding method? Mortise and tenon joints are the most common."

"And when it comes to stability, the mortise and tenon joints of the keel are perfect, right?"

"So, you subconsciously ignored the gaps?" Wang Bo looked at Li Qi and others in disbelief.

Li Qi and others' faces turned red.

Wang Bo sighed and continued: "Also, I don't know whether I should say it or not, why do I always feel that using mortise and tenon joints to make a boat hull is unreliable?"

"Even if you don't use the mortise and tenon joints of the keel type, there will still be gaps after all. Even if it is painted on the back, will it really be waterproof all the time?"

"What paint is of such high quality that it won't dissipate even if it's been in the sea for a long time?"

"You are not mistaken."

"Is it possible that the shipbuilding hulls of the Ming Dynasty were not mortise-and-tenon structures at all?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone responsible for the actual shipbuilding was stunned.

Does this seem to make sense?

Immediately, they looked at Wang Yu and others.

This group of people started out in shipbuilding, and their main job was to reproduce the shipbuilding process.

Seeing this, Wang Yu pinched his chin, frowned slowly, and then shook his head:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Any ship construction recorded in any historical materials involves mortise and tenon joints, I can be sure of this."

"Even if the history books only mention the keel, even if it is speculated based on the keel, the hull should be related to the mortise and tenon joints."

"Otherwise, there is no need to leave mortise and tenon joints around the keel and its ribs."

"We finally analyzed this, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

As he spoke, Wang Yu clicked on the connection between the hull and the keel. They were indeed connected by mortise and tenon joints of different shapes.

Moreover, in addition, they really can't think of a more effective way to connect.

nail?

Even if there was such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, what kind of nails would be needed to completely and tightly connect the hull and the keel?

Therefore, the mortise and tenon joints are 80% correct.

Then, the problem is back to its original point.

This thing is leaking after all.

They couldn't really be sailing in a ship that was bound to leak, right? So what's the difference between this thing and rushing to reincarnate? Fortunately, after this thing was built, it was called the "Hades"?

For a moment, everyone in Class Nine fell into silence.

It wasn't until this moment that they realized that they had been optimistic after all.

If they can finish this thing within a month, it will be considered a success.

At the same time, most netizens in the live broadcast room also fell into thinking.

If this matter is put to them, can they solve it?

Wooden boats don’t seem difficult, but they don’t seem to be any easier.

"To be reasonable, can we stagger the wooden boards and connect them directly with nails? As long as the nails are long enough and the force is dispersed enough, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Aren’t all the medieval ships in those movies like this?”

Soon, some netizens put forward their opinions, and the next moment they were rejected by others.

"You also said that it was a movie or the Middle Ages."

"Even if a medieval ship was fifty meters larger, it would be about the same. If it was smaller and handled properly, it might be able to withstand wind and waves."

"But Team Nine is now building a giant ship of 150 meters. When it is enlarged, any small problem will become a big problem, just like when they built the keel before."

"Do you really think nails still work?"

"Moreover, what they want to build is a Ming Dynasty treasure ship after all. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's power at sea was regarded as the best in the world, so the craftsmanship must be different."

"So, mortise and tenon joints are probably the final solution."

"But that thing must be leaking. Even if the middle of the hull is glued, it will definitely fall off during violent shaking."

"Damn, this is not what people should do. The first step was finally successful, why is the second step so difficult?"

"It's not difficult. Teacher Ren will lead the students to do it?"

"No way, my head hurts thinking about it. I can't find any information at all. There is no other way to do this except flipping through the book."
