Chapter 889 Sea Weapon
Liang Chuan fell in love with the mulberry garden of wealthy businessman Huang Shougong on the West Street. Picking mulberry silk every year is also a huge profit.
Liang Chuan had already invited Cao Buxi to see Feng Shui, which was really a Feng Shui treasure land. Liang Chuan came to talk to Huang Shougong. When Huang Shougong heard that he wanted to build a temple, he thought Liang Chuan was here to beg for alms with him and wanted to use the land for free. He quickly complained about his illness and lay at home to pretend to be dead.
Liang Chuan's current identity is anyone who has experienced the world. Anyone who has experienced the world knows that his thighs are not ordinary thick. Ordinary small businessmen are not his opponent. Huang Shougong's family has a lot of wealth, but that is the wealth accumulated by several generations, and he is still doing a small business. Therefore, he does not want to sell his ancestral property without shortage of money and gain a bad reputation.
Liang Chuan went to visit the door several times and was turned away. Later, he responded that it turned out that Huang Shougong didn't want to sell the land.
How can you succeed if you don’t sell land?
Liang Chuan could only find Zhao Xiaopin first. Since he couldn't get the land, he would find the master first and then find a solution!
Zhao Xiaopin’s current status is not something that ordinary people can invite. These days, people are helping local big families build houses in Fuzhou Prefecture!
Since he went to Bianjing City, he got a certificate from the Ministry of Works, and when he came back, he worshipped it like a treasure of the world. The good news spread quite quickly, and it was spread to hundreds of people. It was immediately announced. Although they didn't know what Zhao Xiaopin was responsible for when building a palace for the official family, the people who knew the goods recognized the seal of the Ministry of Works, and it was really not fake. It was the best certification of the qualifications of the Zhao family engineering team.
Who wouldn't be willing to gild his face if he could invite Zhao Xiaopin and others to build a house for him or her, and he could also benefit from the royal family?
It was a few days since they went there. While waiting, Liang Chuan ran to Liuao Island and handed over the two crystals to the Jinyujiang.
When Liang Chuan was away, he made another pair of glasses. This time he made it more perfect. Secretary Huang felt his vision back when he was young. He looked at the whole world clearly!
The two were shocked not over yet. This time the crystal brought by this time is larger and better quality, and Liang Chuan is preparing to make a more practical tool - a telescope!
Two concave lenses are placed together to make reading glasses, but if a concave lens and a convex lens are placed together and the focal focal is adjusted, it becomes a telescope!
The trouble is to adjust the distance between the two lenses so that you can adjust the distance!
The production process is not that fast. The only job of Jinyujiang having enough food is to polish the crystal. He already understood Liang Chuan's intention. Under Liang Chuan's guidance, he also found that if the curvature of the lens changes, the effect of enlarging and shrinking is also different. For a moment, Jinyujiang was like discovering a new continent, cutting the crystals and polishing them to make various lenses with different curvatures, ready to be used for Liang Chuan to choose them for matching.
Liang Chuan also needs a lens barrel!
The lens barrel was handed over to Zhaodi to make, made of brass. Although this process is complicated, the craftsmen can now make cannon barrels, and making brass tubes is even more trivial for them!
The texture of copper is very soft, and after tempering, it can be made with a hammer. Zhaodi didn't even have to take action personally, so he asked his apprentice to hand over the made lens barrel to Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan looked at the lens tube and seemed to think about something again. Now he wanted to make a telescope, so he didn't.

Think more about it if you have any.
Two extremely polished curved crystals are perfectly embedded on the brass tube made by Zhaodi, making one end of the eyeball with a convex lens embedded in one convex lens and the other end is a concave lens.
Liang Chuan originally thought it was two convex lenses, which played a role like a magnifying glass. Later, he tried these lenses with Jin Yujian for a long time before he found that it was necessary to adjust the distance between the two lenses to form an image!
As soon as the telescope was made, Liang Chuan got An Yisheng and Secretary Huang and asked them to try the effect first!
The two of them each got a pair of reading glasses and were already very impressed by Liang Chuan's magical skills. Liang Chuan brought another golden brass tube. What a fresh thing!
"You two gentlemen help me try how the effect of this clairvoyance is!"
clairvoyance!
Glasses can remove turbidity and restore brightness. Now Liang Chuan can even make a thousand-mile eye!
An Yisheng hurriedly took the brass tube handed over by Liang Chuan, and when he saw that there was a sea in the distance, it seemed that there was no change!
"Yeah, it's not effective!"
Liang Chuan was stunned and took it by himself. Because the telescope was a single tube lens, Liang Chuan narrowed his other eye and looked closer. The crystal lens was polished very well and the visual effect was also very good. How could An Yisheng say that it was not effective?
An Yisheng saw all the sea water, so he didn't feel the gap. Liang Chuan immediately pointed to a small fishing boat on the sea in front of the right and said to An Yisheng: "Doctor An, look at the fishing boat on the sea in front of you!
An Yisheng moved the camera over and saw a huge sea boat appearing inside the camera, as if he was looking at it with his naked eyes. In a hurry, he put down the telescope and looked at it. The man was still a hundred years away, but why did he just look so clearly!
An Yisheng, who did not believe in evil, tried several times, but the result was the same. He actually saw people and things from several miles away more clearly. This is not what a clairvoy is!
"It's so amazing!"
The two of them took turns to try the effect of the telescope. What they wanted was not meeting Liang Chuan's expectations. This simple telescope could only see a distance of six or seven hundred meters, which could be seen with the naked eye. It was just not clear. It also needs to be improved and the visual range was increased to two to four miles, which would be a qualified product!
Liang Chuan immediately took the treasure ship and handed it to Xia Dehai. This thing is of no use to people on land. Except for defending the city and fighting wars, it is very useful to people in the sea. You can observe a longer distance. If the enemy does not discover this distance, many preventive measures can be taken to truly predict the enemy's initiative!
Xia Dehai is a natural master of naval warfare. The moment he got the telescope, he knew that from then on, he had no opponent at sea. With the telescope, he could adjust the angle of the artillery first when the enemy was not ready, and combine the two with each other. Who is his opponent from now on?
In fact, it is not just for combat. With a telescope, you can also find islands and weather changes in the vast ocean. The deadliest thing on the sea is not the enemy, but the shortage of fresh water and the dangerous weather!
Once you have a telescope, you can't say that you can completely avoid these dangers, but you can have a little more chance of survival at sea, which is much worse!
Look far

As soon as the mirror was invented, Liang Chuan's first idea was to use this thing to make money, but after thinking about it, he gave up on this idea.
Because the principle of the telescope is too simple, once this technology is leaked, it is easy to be imitated by other opponents. The group of people under my command are quite firm, and at least for a period of time, it can ensure that this technology will not be leaked.
How much money can a telescope be sold is at most tens of thousands of yuan, but selling the telescope means losing this technical patent, which is not worth it.
Besides, Liang Chuan is not short of this money at the moment!
He didn't want to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon!
Liang Chuan told Xia Dehai that he would use the telescope first, and there would be an improved version later. At that time, he was a real clairvoyance, and his vision was nearly one or two times higher than the current primary version. That was the real battlefield weapon!
Xia Dehai dreamed of having two kinds of things: artillery and telescope. Who would have thought that he, a thief in Wan'an Watanabe, has now transformed into a great navigator with capital across the world!
"Take the last north wind to go to Nanyang to find another batch of crystals. If we can make an extra batch of glasses, we can not only use them on the sea boat, but also during land warfare!"
Xia Dehai was about to try the power of matching glasses and artillery. With Liang Chuan's order, he immediately sorted out the fleet and drove towards the South China Sea!
Since the Battle of the Yangtze River Estuary, Xia Dehai's fleet returned to the shipyard in Qingyuan. Xia Dehai and Liang Zao have made many improvements to the warships in response to the defects of the sea ship.
The treasure ship is undoubtedly the most chaotic in commerce and ocean trading, but many problems will be exposed if they are used in naval warfare.
One is that the hull is too bulky, and the huge hull is easily the target of the opponent, and even escaping becomes a problem. Another is that the equipment, cargo and crew on the ship are mixed together, which is extremely dangerous. There is no good distinction between combat zones and material zones. Once the gunpowder and fresh water on the ship are polluted, a warship is equivalent to a cemetery!
The most important problem is the transfer of artillery. Xia Dehai found that it is best to put the cannon on the deck when the weather is good. Using artillery in the cabin will damage the hull. The crew complained even more in the cabin, and the view on the deck is more convenient. This is the case alone. Many crew members raised this point!
After improvement, the treasure ship has changed from round to long and thin, and the division of labor of the ship is more accurate, including special cargo ships and warships used by Xia Dehai!
The new warship looks like it is armed to the teeth, and it is all combat areas on it. Such warship beams are said to myself that looking at the entire ocean, I am afraid I will not find any opponent!
With this sentence, Xia Dehai wanted to give it a try. After receiving Liang Chuan's order, he could no longer wait and urged the warship to sail south and slowly!
When the fleet sailed out of Qingyuan Port, Abdullah happened to run into the sea overlord. Although he didn't understand what the black iron pipe was used for, he knew just by seeing the seamen on the ship who exuded a rebellious and unruly atmosphere that he would never get a good deal if he ran into this fleet at sea!
Another half month passed, and Huang Shougong suddenly came to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan was about to find him, but he was fine. He came to him. Just as Liang Chuan wanted, he was going to sell the mulberry field!
