With the help of Zhao Zun and others' large ships, Zhou Yu finally no longer had to focus on stabilizing the balance of the fleet, and had the opportunity to take a good look at the ships of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although Zhou Yu also knew about things like pointed bottom boats, the structure of this thing was difficult for Zhou Yu's boatmen to grasp. On the one hand, it was the proportions above, and on the other hand, it was the center of gravity.
This is also an important reason why Zhou Yu has not yet built a sea-going ship. According to Zhou Yu's original idea, he would have a fight with Gan Ning, win or lose, grab a ship, and then dismantle and rebuild it.
Unfortunately, Gan Ning did not appear at all in the previous Battle of Huai River, so this plan could not be implemented. However, after seeing the real thing at such a close distance this time, Zhou Yu quickly asked the boatmen he brought to observe it carefully, hoping to achieve the purpose of imitating it.
On the other side, Donglai Prefect Hua Yan had received the message from Lu Su. Although there were many unreasonable messages in it, and it was even clearly a request to collaborate with the enemy, looking at the several seals stamped on it, Hua Yan didn't say much at all, and immediately
Open a warehouse and take out the reserved military supplies, preparing to sell them to Zhou Yu at a low price when Zhou Yu comes.
Similarly, the Lu family also received a deal from Liu Bei and Sun Ce. In this life, the hatred between the Lu family and Sun Ce and others was not great. In the first battle of Lujiang, Sun Ce did successfully capture Lujiang, but Lu Kang had no idea of ​​coexisting with Lujiang.
, and took the whole family away conveniently.
Because of this, the Lu family had the opportunity to move to Donglai, and became the only two sea-going ship manufacturers in the Central Plains. It was also a gain from the east, so there was not much resentment towards Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. After all, there were no direct descendants of the family.
One person dies.
"How many third- and fourth-generation ships do we still have?" Lu Jun asked his housekeeper. Lu Jun, who was dying due to lack of energy, has now completely recovered due to Hua Tuo's treatment. The head of the previous generation of the family has
Lu Kang resigned directly to Lu Jun.
"There are still forty-four third-generation sea-going ships, and there are twelve fourth-generation sea-going ships." The steward quickly replied, "Twenty-seven of the third-generation sea-going ships have dismantled their crossbows and are preparing to transfer them to the Chamber of Commerce.
The remaining seventeen ships have not lost their crossbow machines, but their reinforced decks have been removed."
"Refit the reinforced decks on those seventeen ships, test all the independent sealed cabins, and solidify the entire ship to ensure that it reaches the sturdiness of fifth-generation sea ships, and the speed and load capacity can be appropriately reduced." Lu Jun gave the steward an order after thinking about it.
A transformation order was issued.
Lu Jun's side of the third-generation sea-going ship has almost been phased out and has become a civilian product. Their sixth-generation sea-going ship has already appeared, and the seventh-generation sea-going ship has already been put on the test ship. All they have to do is wait for Gan Ning to come back for a test drive and then quickly improve it.
The seventh-generation sea captain is twenty-five feet long, ten feet wide, with a three-and-a-half-story structure, six masts, and nine sails. It can carry three thousand people. However, this ship is no longer suitable for running on rivers. It is only suitable for running in the sea. It is fully maintained in a warm environment.
Strengthened structure, but the biggest difference from other ships is that this ship has added steel!
One day when Lu Jun was washing his clothes in a gold basin, he accidentally discovered that the basin he made of gold was floating on the water. His imagination immediately opened up and he ordered people to build a bunch of basins, including gold, silver, and copper.
Steel, finally Lu Jun determined that metal can be used to build ships.
Lu Jun immediately wanted to build an invincible ship out of steel. After calculating the cost, Lu Jun said that even if the Lu family was sold, it would not be possible to build it. However, after having this idea, Lu Jun had many ideas, such as
Add steel to strengthen special places, even if the steel is not enough for stone!
In short, the seventh-generation sea-going ship is the product of Lu Jun's various materials and strengthened structures. This ship can no longer be said to be a purely wooden ship. First of all, the decks of this ship have been replaced by granite by Lu Jun, and the exterior has also been decorated with
layer.
This is also an important reason why the broken-down ship can carry 3,000 people, and this super large ship can only carry 3,000 people. Of course, it is built in this way, and after the center of gravity is lowered, ballast is not needed much. The dead weight of this ship is still
Very powerful.
However, because it is a product of imagination, Lu Jun is actually very unsure about the seventh-generation sea-going ship. Although according to various data, this seventh-generation sea-going ship is very good, if he does not drive it out and give it a try, Lu Jun really has no idea.
As for if it sinks when driven out...
The previous test ship Gan Ning has sunk so many times. Once it sank in the sea and was chased by sharks. It had to swim all the way back. Shipbuilding and other things always require experts to test it. Only after it sinks can you know where to improve.
Therefore, Lu Jun and Gan Ning have been waiting in a hurry recently. However, Gan Ning is currently blocking the remaining Kushan fleets in Malacca. Of course, Gan Ning has no idea that Vesuthiva I could not find King Sariputta for a long time.
His position has been somewhat shaken.
Therefore, Vesudeva I was already acting a little crazy. In the second month when the spiritual relics were not found, he started the state machinery and frantically built ships and dumped dumplings.
Different from the Central Plains, both Kushan and Rome have stockpiled a large number of sea-going ships because they cannot bypass the ocean. They also stockpile a large amount of shipbuilding materials. Once there is an urgent need for warships, the shipyards across the country will go into full operation, which can cost more than ten dollars per month.
Ships, a fleet of ships are thrown into the sea at the speed of a fleet.
This is just like the Central Plains princes hoarding weapons. If necessary, they can mobilize massive troops. The geographical structure of the two sides determines that the materials hoarded by the two sides are completely different.
Of course, Vesudeva I's frenzied dumplings were only one aspect. On the other hand, he had already dispatched nearly half of his 200,000 infantry and cavalry to attack eastward from the land. The land on the Indian subcontinent was destroyed by Vesuthiva at a visible speed.
Deva I won it.
Along the way, countless foreign states, small countries, and tribes were crushed by the army of Vesuthiva I. As they marched eastward, the scope of Kushan's rule continued to expand. It was as if the loss of spiritual relics not only did not damage Kushan's luck, but also made it worse.
Kushan awakens and burns.
In response to this situation, Vesudeva I, who had been waiting for death, cheered up. The spiritual relics had been lost, and there was nothing that could be done. However, with the expansion of Kushan territory and the expansion of strength, Vesudeva I
Thought of another method.
People were forced out. It was very difficult for Vesudeva I to sit high on the throne, suppress the people who were trying to divide the four sides, and let Kushan barely become a whole.
However, after losing the spiritual relics, he was reprimanded by Brahmin bastards and forced into the palace by other Kshatriyas. In a rage, Vesudeva I threw an army of 100,000 and crushed him all the way, even indiscriminately killing a few people with separatist intentions.
small country.
As a result, the Kushan Empire, which was originally in turmoil and seemed to be falling apart at any time, started to sell dumplings like crazy. More than a hundred warships went to sea again. One hundred thousand troops crushed the same army to expand its territory, and another one hundred thousand troops slaughtered countless people.
A country in which Vesudeva I had established himself as a tyrant was actually stabilized!
