At the end of April, firecrackers came from the shipyard on the left side of the dock, and the two three-masted sail cruisers with colorful silk tied on their masts were launched again. They were carved from the same mold as the four previous warships, but a rocking water cabinet was installed at the bow, so that the ship could reduce the forward and backward swing when sailing under high sea conditions. The principle of this thing is very simple. It is a bow water tank that connects to the bottom of the ship. Usually there is half water and half air. When the waves press the bow into the sea water, the sea water will enter the sealed cabin along the opening of the bottom of the ship and spray the air inside out from the nostrils of the whale on the bow. In this way, the bow is heavier and when it is lifted up, the amplitude is much smaller than usual. As the bow is raised, the excess sea water in the water cabinet will flow out from the opening below the bow until the water volume at the design is restored.

This simple design not only reduces the front and back swings of the boat, but also restores the balance of the boat faster. The scientific name is the corrective effect. The principle is similar to the tumbler. The rocking water cabinet is the first of Chinese ships, but it is also like a gunpowder compass. It was developed after it was introduced to the West. If you want to know this thing, you can pay attention to the scene of long-distance ships sailing in the wind and waves. Once their bows fall into the waves, two streams of water vapor will be emitted, like whales breathing. This is the rocking water cabinet is emitting air. Whether it is a warship or an aircraft carrier, this kind of equipment is necessary, but it is more advanced, and the water volume and air volume are controlled through computers.

Although this technology is the construction technology of Chinese ships, it took more than a year for shipbuilding technicians, Wen Lao Da and Wen Lao Er, to figure it out. The reason is very simple. Most of the bows of Chinese ships are square or trapezoidal, and it is easy to create a water cabinet separated from the rear cabin and sealed. However, the European sail warship designed by Hong Tao has a sharp bow, and it is too technical to make a triangular water cabinet with wood. In the end, a carpenter with a boat caught back from the Mongolian navy came up with an idea, which was to make a round bathtub-like thing inside regardless of the shape of the bow. The round one solved this problem.

Now the Wen family's shipyard is the unit with the most technical jobs in the entire Jinhewan, which has the busiest and most modern large-scale production style. Shipbuilding is a comprehensive industry. Just like building cars, it requires the cooperation of all trades to successfully build a ship. As shipbuilding technology improves, other technologies will also be improved. At the same time, it is also the place where technical labor is most occupied in the entire Jinhewan. Almost 70% of the craftsmen are serving the shipbuilding industry, and they also have to take part in a part of slave labor, which is equivalent to more than half of the Jinhewan labor. Similarly, Jinhewan's largest expense is also a shipyard. It is a gold-eating beast. Such a large investment is nothing more than building 4 fast cruisers a year. It is impossible to think too much. This is the limit of the shipyard.

"Oh, Wimbledon, not only do you lack people, but I also lack people. Look at me, the sailor on the boat, one quarter of it is the first time I sailed far away. I have let them be the captain of the little fish and shrimps. All the children who are 13 years old in the school have been drawn out. I don't want to take them to take risks. These children are the future of our family. But there is no way. I can get more confidence in one more boat. This time I go there, not only to exchange the horses, but also to consolidate our supply points. Otherwise, you can stop the remaining two boats first, even if you build them, I will also

There are not so many sailors available. We can rest for half a year. You can think about how to start the big ship. The extra people make them easy and relaxed, and they will build water trucks for mines and sugarcane fields. On the board of directors, Huang Bo and others complained, saying that the carpenters were stolen by the shipyard, and you didn't hear it." Hong Tao looked at the new ship. Half of them were happy and half worried. He never expected that it was not the shipbuilding that restricted the development of Jinhewan in the end, but the cultivation of qualified sailors. The main reason for restricting the development of Jinhewan was also a population problem.

People, Hong Tao could no longer think of where to find people besides catching slaves. The Dan family members of Hainan Island were almost caught by him. Old Man Rong, a member of the Dan family in other places, had contacted him, but there was no progress at the moment. Old Man Rong spoke very well on Hainan Island, and who knew who he was? Although they were all from the Dan family, the Dan family members in each place were basically isolated. They are not the same ethnic group, and they have no ethnic cohesion. Everyone has their own relationships and never interacts with each other. They even don’t even understand living habits and language, so they are basically no different from the two ethnic groups.

Just catching slaves cannot solve the problem in front of you. Even if Cixi can manage it again, Jinhewan will be attracted to the future of slaves. You have to let them learn language first before they can use it, right? Farming is easier, and they can communicate easily in half a year, but being a sailor is very troublesome and you won’t be able to teach it in a year. Moreover, there can’t be too many slave sailors or captive sailors on the ship. Hong Tao is not very worried about their loyalty. He must have enough han family sailors to mix sand to use it with confidence. After all, you caught them, and maybe they might even kill their relatives. Knowing others, but not their hearts.

"It's all that's the case. Don't be too anxious. I'll leave half of the people to think about your big ship slowly. Things on the sea are not careless. Don't mess up your inch just because I'm too verbal." Wen Lao Er is a sensible person. After hearing Hong Tao's difficulties, he was also worried and had to comfort Hong Tao in reverse, for fear that something might happen to Hong Tao on the sea when he was anxious.

"Well, don't worry, I will solve the population problem first when I come back this time. But don't be idle. I'm not here these days, please talk to my grandfather, Rong Weng, Uncle Huang and others about the local people. If you still don't want me to catch too many native people back, then I'm really out of my way. I can only wait for the children in the school to grow up. I guess you won't be able to do it at that time..." Hong Tao began to take advantage of the issue and thought of Yanger for Wen Laoer.

In fact, Hong Tao came up with a way to increase labor force quickly, which is much more reliable than slaves, so he doesn't have to worry too much about language problems. He wanted to drive a boat to the Jin Dynasty or the coastal village occupied by the Mongols to take medicine according to prescriptions and catch Han slaves back. Although the language of the Han people is different from that of the south, they are people of the same nation after all, and there is still a difference between not getting used to it and not understanding it. The most important thing is that the writing is universal, and there is no need to literate from scratch, which is relatively easier.

However, Hong Tao's proposal was ruthlessly rejected at the board meeting. From Old Man Rong to other directors, they basically voted against it. It would not work for Sheng Qizu to support him alone. The Dan family was very afraid of the natives, even surpassing those slaves. A small number of natives were captured by Hong Tao and they could accept them, but when a large number of natives came back, they felt it was very dangerous. As for where the danger was and why, they could not explain it clearly, but they were unwilling to do so.

Is Hong Tao angry if his ideas cannot be implemented? Do you regret creating this board of directors? I’m angry, but I don’t regret it. This just means that the board of directors has begun to work. It is subtly affecting everyone in Jinhewan, and what they want to change includes these people. They know that they can’t say it to authority. This is a good thing. Jinhewan is not his own. If it’s just for power, Hong Tao can never do anything in Jinhewan, bring a few useful people who like and take a boat to Australia, South America, North America and North America to fool the local natives. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to be a local emperor? At that time, you only need to show Ouyang Qing’s style and create a few so-called miracles. You are a god there, and you are more satisfied with any emperor. The people and wealth that have all fallen are their own. It’s the same.

But Hong Tao thinks that is not fun, the game mode is too simple. If you are reborn for the first time, you can make such a choice. This is the third time. Does it seem too mentally retarded to play this simple mode? If you want to play, you have to play big things. Is it difficult to fight for power and profit? It is difficult but it is not hell mode. The most difficult thing in the world is to change other people's thoughts, and philosophers are the highest existence. Hong Tao, Stein, Hong Zhelun, Hong Fit, Hong Hughes and other characters, Hong Tao has played it, it is not new. Now he wants to do a Hungrath, Hong Latuk, Hong Torch, Hong Gen Hung So Honter

Who has ever heard of a philosopher who goes barely and becomes a gang of political enemies and has to destroy his personal body? That's too low-level. A philosopher is to form a bureau for everyone, then watch by himself, take the crowd as the test object, and figure out a whole set of people who can convince others to flock to theories.

If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. Let the facts speak. I'll let you spare yourself. In the end, I won't mention this proposal, but you have to make it your own. The current life is not a pleasure for Hong Tao, but it's already a paradise for the Dan family and all the people in Jinhewan. You can wait and give up, but they can't wait and give up. When a person tastes the sweetness, they will immediately pursue sweeter, and it's a cycle of reincarnation until the sweetness becomes bitter. At the same time, they will also understand many things and know what it means to stop. At present, these people have just tasted a little sweetness, so it's not themselves who are anxious to eat more sweetness.

"... As long as there are not too many natives, I don't object to it... In fact, there are nothing in the natives. The local craftsmen in the shipyard are all good at craftsmanship and are responsible for their duties. If everyone comes like them, I will be happy." Wen Laoer knew what Hong Tao was saying, so he had already let go. In Jinhewan, the ones who have the most contact with natives were him and Huang Hai, so the resistance was the least. To be continued.
