Chapter 1,483 Some suggestions from Luo Zhang (fourth update, asking for diamonds)
Luo Zhang also has his own ideas about high-sea ships. Building high-sea ships is just a prototype. Luo Zhang wants to build giant steel ships for future generations, but today's productivity is completely unreachable.
The first thing is the engine. How can the people of Tang Dynasty come up with this thing?
Even if Luo Zhang has the drawings and understands the principles of construction, these are completely insufficient.
You can't just build a giant steel ship and just put it on the dock for viewing, right?
Since we can't build a giant steel ship, we can only make some changes. Luo Zhang's suggestion is to load some light steel plates around the high-sea ships.
The steel plate does not need to be very thick, but it can protect the hull very well. At the same time, a stern is also installed on the front end of the ship, making it a giant stern ship. The fleet can not only rely on artillery, but also can
One more means of attack.
The so-called giant ship is to install a spike-like thing on its front end, which can be used to smash through the enemy's hull.
The hardness of the steel plate is much harder than that of iron. With this thing, the ships of the Dashiguo people must not be able to withstand a single blow.
Coupled with the surrounding steel plate protection, offshore ships are almost armed to the teeth.
Of course, it also has its disadvantages, that is, the sailing speed will be reduced, but this is not a problem. Luo Zhang also suggested loading propellers on ships in high seas.
A bunch of old guys were very unfamiliar with this thing, but under Luo Zhang's teachings on propellers cut from wood, these old guys were almost astonished.
Imagine that if a high-sea ship is equipped with this device, its speed can almost double in a short period of time, which is several notches higher than when the long-sea ship was the fastest before.
Some people can't help but ask, how can you make the propeller rotate without an engine?
This is naturally not a problem for Luo Zhang. Without an engine, he can only rely on manpower. He only needs to install a lever and a crank to make people keep turning.
However, this can only be used on the battlefield. After all, manpower is limited, and it is impossible to turn the propeller all the time. This is a very physically demanding job.
But even so, it also allows ships on the far sea to have more flexibility and maneuverability when fighting on the battlefield, so that they will not be hung up by the enemy.
After putting forward his own suggestions, Luo Zhang stopped taking care of them. He was a leader, not an executor. He could make suggestions, but the execution would naturally be left to these old guys.
For them, they don't care how old Luo Zhangguan is. The reason why they believe in Luo Zhang so much is because Luo Zhang can bring them wonderful ideas.
This is the charm and power brought by knowledge.
After leaving the shipyard, Luo Zhang did not go back, but went to Yushan for a stroll. However, Luo Zhang did not go to the place where wood knots were processed in Yushan, but to his area where various plants were planted.
Nowadays, most of the things planted here have matured, and Luo Zhang's experiment can be considered a success. In particular, a lot of corn has been planted, and its effect is actually no different from that in the system, and it can make people stronger.
Because of this, Luo Zhang sent heavy troops to guard this place. Anyone who wants to enter here will not be allowed in without his order.
All these harvests were sent back to Luofu and handed over to Chen Kuifeng for arrangement. The family guards were the first batch of beneficiaries.
The success of field planting allowed Luo Zhang to save a lot of points.
As for whether to spread this thing, Luo Zhang has not yet decided. After all, once it spreads, it will be difficult to control.
So this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
At the last stop, Luo Zhang came to the hot spring. This hot spring, once famous because of Yang Yuhuan, was Luo Zhang's first fiefdom.
Luo Zhang also chose this place when many people didn't understand it.
I remember that at that time, this place was completely a stone hill without even a tree. When Luo Zhang chose this place, he was called a fool by many people. His grandmother was so angry that she almost fainted.
But looking at this place now, it has become a place filled with birds singing, flowers fragrant, and mist forming, just like a fairyland.
Nowadays, Lishan Hot Spring has become a place where dignitaries and dignitaries from Chang'an come to relax. A dip here can relieve tiredness and relax the body.
And the services here are not something you can experience in other places. Ahem, don’t think about it. We don’t provide that kind of service here, but some health care services.
