"Can we build a loach boat now?" Qin Ge looked at the giant ship assembled in front of him in shock. This was a gold-grade warship.

Zheng He shook his head and said, "This is just a test ship! We can basically build a test ship now, but many key technologies of the loach ship have not yet been broken through. The cost of this ship is too high. Including the materials and labor costs, it costs as high as 60,000 taels of gold!"

Qin Ge was stunned when he heard this. This was too expensive. The cost of a flying wave ship was only a few thousand taels of gold. The cost of a sea loach ship was even less than dozens of flying wave ships. This was not worth the cost.

Zheng He pointed to the hull and said, "We have used the maintenance of six seriously damaged loach ships. We have figured out the various structures of the warships. We can basically copy the loach ship perfectly. However, whether it is the materials for the hull or the power system, many technical replications require very sophisticated technology. Ordinary workers cannot participate at all. They can only be done by craftsman and Tie Niu. This leads to the high labor cost. The keel of the hull alone requires more than three hundred years of gloomy wood. It needs to be harvested from the depths of the Taishan Mountains. Not only do we need to avoid various ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, but also because the transportation channel has not been fully established, it takes at least ten thousand taels of gold to transport it to the dock! Now we can only make experimental ships, and we can only wait until the technical bottlenecks are broken through and the quality of craftsmen are improved, and the cost of warships is greatly reduced, and the warships can be mass-produced!"

Accompanied by Zheng He, Qin Ge walked towards the boat workshop. Zheng He said as he walked: "In addition to mass-producing the Feilang Pilot Ship, we have also begun to produce three other iron warships. This was more than a month ago, we held a Youlong Dock Exhibition. At the exhibition, we purchased the turtle ship with a huge load, a flexible grasshopper boat and a simplified version of Pilot Ship. These ships are cheap, and each ship is only a few hundred taels to thousands of taels of gold, but the advantage is that it has a large production volume and has a large market among many small forces of evolution!"

"Secondly, the large-scale production of three types of civil ships, large-scale large-scale medium-sized small-scale civil ships, specially provided for the official and private fishing factories established in Le'an County, and of course also provided for the evolutionary seafood development forces in Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places outside Le'an County, and even provided private ship customization business. This will not only expand the profits of the dock, but also quickly cultivate the skills of ship workers, laying a solid foundation for the future high-end development of the dock!"

Listening to Zheng He's introduction, Zheng He knew everything about the overall development of the entire dock and had clear goals.

Qin Ge had a deeper understanding of Zheng He's value. No wonder Guan Zhong advised him to give up Zheng Chenggong, Liu Rengui and other famous naval commanders in history. However, Zheng He, who was relatively weak, also asked Li Bao to make up for his shortcomings.

Now thinking about Zheng He's seven ocean-going times, which was to open up a trade route for the Ming Dynasty. He was not only a navigator and a water war commander, but also a craftsman, diplomat, businessman and other identities. He was in charge of the production and operation of the dock, which was simply a sensation.

From a gold-swalking beast, Youlong Shipyard has become a treasure pot for making gold every day, injecting a heart-warming agent into the long-depleted finance. It also has an immeasurable effect on driving the development of Le'an's industries, providing relevant jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, and promoting the prosperity and development of Le'an and even China's fisheries!

This is also the confidence that Man Chong dared to attract another five million refugees from Taishan County.

Under Zheng He's leadership, everyone came to the boat workshop. They saw the marshal directing more than a dozen robotic arms, including huge wood planers, lathes, grinding, oil-soaking and polishing. The marshal not only made wood by himself, but also directed the carpenter to be busy.

Seeing Qin Ge arrive, he directed his robotic arm to fly over like a spiritual ape. At this time, the craftsman was covered in wood chips and looked a little sloppy. He took off his goggles and looked a little upset.

However, his eyes were very vivid. Qin Ge just heard from Zheng He that in the past six months, in order to build a flying wave ship, Youlong Shipyard has worked overtime to make various technical breakthroughs, almost supported by Jiangpu and Tieniu.

The marshal was dug by Qin Ge from the side of Jiang Kui of the Mo family in the Snow Wolf Castle with a shameless face. The dock can be said to be one of the most powerful and soul figures!

Although the craftsman was tired, he was very energetic. The large workshop on the dock had various lathes and machinery, which was now controlled by him alone. This guy nagged and told Qin Ge a lot of ideas that he couldn't understand, and pulled Qin Ge to see his various innovations in the machinery factory.

Qin Ge was speechless. He looked at all kinds of exquisitely processed parts. It was Liu Laolao who entered the Grand View Garden and was dazzled. However, he had maintained a mecha in his previous life and could still say a lot of mechanical structures. He told this guy to take good rest and take care of his health.

After leaving the craftsman's workshop, I came to the casting workshop run by Tie Niu. I saw that the entire casting workshop was surging flames, and there were blacksmiths waving iron hammers everywhere.

Because there are many casting workshops on the dock, many hull parts are first molded, and then fine-processed by blacksmiths, inlaid crystals, forging energy arrays, etc.

At this time, on the forging platform in the center of the casting workshop, a huge man was waving the forging hammer. The forging hammer was very fast. When the hammer body was swung, it could even blow out a strong air wave to form a wind whirlpool. The flying sparks bloomed like fireworks, and the overall casting was flowing, which was pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, the man stood in front of the hot fire, and against the backdrop of the fire, his body was flickering with money-like marks, looking extremely majestic.

Qin Ge walked to the central forging platform, took a hook and sickle gun next to him, and held it in his hand, the gun blade flashed coldly, the gun body was very tough, and it danced like a spiritual snake.

Qin Ge couldn't help but praise: "Good gun!"

After the iron cow swung for a moment, the fire tongs picked up a fiery red scale from the forging table, put it into the water to quench it, and snatched a cyan scale from the water, which looked like dragon scales, emitting a strange halo in the fire.

This scale is the standard armor of the Blue Scale Soldier - the Blue Scale Armor Set!

It is a gold-grade armor set, made of workshop casting, forged by three layers of scale armor. The green scale armor set is a light armor, but it can resonate with the water flow in the water, which is conducive to the Qing scale soldiers controlling the vitality of the water system in the rivers and seas, and can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Qing scale soldiers.

However, the forging process of this armor is too cumbersome and expensive. Currently, only 20,000 sets of equipment Qinglin Guards are planned to be built.

Tie Niu was concentrating on forging the blue scale armor set at this time. In addition, the forging workshop was noisy, so he didn't notice that Qin Ge and others came to inspect it.

"Armor!" Tieniu saw several craftsmen stopping to deliver the armor to him, and frowned, his voice was thick and dull, and several craftsmen pointed at him.

Tie Niu turned around in surprise, and saw a black bear with a face full of whiskers and a black face as dark as iron, looking like a black bear.

Although Tie Niu looks in his forties, he is actually only twenty-five or six years old this year, and he is still a young man.

"Lord!" Seeing Qin Ge, Tieniu ran over excitedly, and his hand covered with iron filings grabbed Qin Ge's arm with force.

Tienniu was Qin Ge who followed Qin Ge when he was the village chief. Since joining the territory, he has followed Qin Fuhuo to become the pillar of military industry and now independently supports the Youlong Shipyard.

During the bloody battle in Jinan County, Zhao Yun killed the Liangshan bandit leader Tang Long, who was the few master-level blacksmith in Liangshan. His general soul was a special general soul who was specially transferred to the blacksmith. He was worthless to the five Liangshan tigers at all.

Qin Ge overnight brought the Earth Demon Soul and the Xuanniao essence blood to Tien Niu. Due to his limited qualifications, Tien Niu has been stuck in the master-level blacksmith realm and cannot break through.

However, the craftsmanship that the iron bull has been trained for thousands of times is no less than that of many master-level blacksmiths, and can even create armor that master-level blacksmiths can make.

After fusing the earthly star of the earth star of the golden leopard Tang Long, Tien Niu inherited Tang Long's soul and forging skills, and directly broke through the grandmaster level forging realm.

Now that Tienniu has no qualification restrictions, it is not impossible to become a grand master or even attack the magic craftsman in the future.

Tie Niu is not good at talking and has no hobbies on weekdays. He just likes to spend his whole life in forging workshops. Of course, his talent and talent in casting are even awesome to Qin Fuhuo.

I haven't seen Qin Ge for many years. At this time, Tienniu was so excited that he kept giggling with silly.

"You clean up your beard in the future! You don't have a wife yet!" Qin Ge said with emotion when he saw Tie Niu, thinking of the hard years before.

"Not worry...nothing..." Tie Niu shook his head reluctantly and waved his hand at a loss.

"What's wrong! I promised my aunt back then that I must find you a beautiful and virtuous wife. I'm going back on my promise! Boning! I'll give you an instruction and find a good wife for Tie Niu. Be beautiful and virtuous! This is a task that must be completed!" Qin Ge did not care about the thick iron filings on Tie Niu's body, and held Tie Niu's shoulders.

Man Chong's iron-like face was also amused, and he covered his mouth and said, "Receive the order! I am willing to issue a military order!"

Tie Niu pulled Qin Ge around the forging workshop, like a child, constantly talking about the situation in the casting workshop, and finally sighed: "I plan to use steel to forge the keel and other parts of the hull, which can greatly reduce the cost and cost of the loach boat, and the ship is more sturdy and durable. Unfortunately, a lot of steel have been tried, and the process has been made breakthroughs, but the hardness, strength and stiffness of the material are not qualified!"

Zheng He also came over and said, "I have talked with many evolutionary craftsmen. They mentioned the casting scheme of alloys and special steels. Master Tie Niu tried many ways to cast steel molds, but they basically failed!"

Jinmaohu, who was following Qin Ge, touched his chin and said, "I heard that Yanhuang Casting House uses modern craftsmanship and seems to have mastered a technology for making alloys and special steels. I have reported it on the forum a few days ago, but this technology is a monopoly technology and can even improve the quality level of raw materials!"

Qin Ge was silent for a moment and looked back at Ye Huanghuang and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that the Fire Blue Blade of Yanhuang City wants to learn the shipbuilding technology of our Feilang Ship?"

Ye Huang nodded and said, "They want to learn from each other, but there is really nothing to learn in their Yanhuang City dock, and I rejected it!"

Qin Ge directly ordered Jinmaohu to communicate with the Iron Blood Military Soul video. Soon Jinmaohu connected the Iron Blood Military Soul video and directly turned on the screen projection function.
Chapter completed!
