Originally, Wei Zheng and others thought that the shipyard was such a big deal.
The stall was spread out like this, and at the same time, His Majesty's most trusted eldest prince was presiding over it.
But with such a big business, now there are so many weird things happening.
If His Majesty is not satisfied, the court will have to handle another case.
The whole thing will be completely complicated by then, and in the end it may even be impossible to do it, so that it can only be left alone, and there may even be a lot of other negative effects derived from it.
But the moment I walked into the shipyard...
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were immediately dumbfounded.
Standing still, even a little at a loss...
This ship...
It’s so big!
…
After arriving in Hangzhou, according to what His Highness said, the newly built large ships had to be built in a new shipyard in the recent period. They had to wait for more large ships to leave the factory and form a fleet before they could sail.
If other officials had said this, given the temper of Wei Zheng, a well-known old troll throughout the ages, an investigation would have been launched in a matter of minutes.
Hidden, tucked in, what are you hiding here? Huh?
Combined with this pile of tricks, it is impossible to directly turn the officialdom of the entire dynasty upside down.
But now, because His Highness is in charge of this matter.
Wei Zheng and his gang know very well what kind of person His Highness is, so there is no such thing as getting to the bottom of it.
However, it is inevitable to worry about the quality of ships and the progress of fleet construction.
But once inside the shipyard...
Wei Zheng and the three men immediately understood that this ship... was obviously much bigger than the big ship anchored in the port next door!
This is a bit strange.
Well, and Wei Zheng and others also felt really strange at this moment.
Obviously the entire volume of this shipyard is smaller than the shipyard next door. Why is the size of this ship so terrifying...
The big ship next door, Wei Zheng thought, was already big enough. Even though he had traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers in his life and had seen countless things in the world, he had never seen such a big ship.
But now...
Only then did Wei Zheng realize that... just as His Highness said, the situation was really small...
This boat is at least about 50% larger than the one next door!
The size is 50% larger, and the entire volume is 1.5 times cubed, which is about three times the size.
One can imagine how terrifying it is.
However, the confusion lasted for a moment. Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling immediately understood what was going on.
The shipyard next door uses a beam and column structure, and the whole is a large traditional house.
But the shipyard here is completely different!
The entire structure used is similar to that of an auction house.
It is surrounded by cement walls. The walls made by this thing are thin but thick, and it goes without saying that it is extremely strong.
At the same time, the top is similar to the auction house, which is like a bird's nest and is built based on crisscrossed steel bars.
In this way, the structure of the entire building can be imagined, and the space utilization rate is completely different from that of the shipyard next door.
It may seem smaller on the outside, but the space inside is actually much larger!
The size of this ship is naturally huge as can be imagined.
There are countless tall wooden frames all around, and there seem to be many wheels hanging above them. There are also countless ropes hanging on the wheels, up and down, lifting large pieces of wood up and down.
This scene of the shipbuilding process shocked Li Er and others to their core.
Countless craftsmen among them are moving up and down along with the wood, coming and going freely.
There is no shipyard in the world where shipbuilding can have such a grand scene.
This is simply like a giant putting together thin wooden boards on a desk.
In ordinary shipyards, shipwrights are knocking around with hammers, and there are ladders up and down.
But how can it be like this, using the smallest space to transport the most labor and materials up and down...
And, is it still possible?
Shocking...
So shocking!
At this moment, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others...
Whenever I see surprising things in Li Sheng's place, I am usually surprised for a while and then gradually calm down.
But this time, everyone became more and more frightened.
Such a big scene...
Even if everyone does not understand ship affairs, they can still see that the efficiency of personnel coming and going is far better than that of ordinary craftsmen building ships.
Not to mention, there is a leader among them, holding a handful of flags in his hand. On a high platform in the middle, he raises the flag from time to time to coordinate the countless craftsmen below to come and go.
The entire shipbuilding site seems to be full of people working on various materials, but in fact it is very orderly. Just looking at it makes you feel as if you are using your hands and fingers.
Watch this for a while,
Wu Meiniang didn't even start to introduce her, Li Er and others also knew...
The navy of the Tang Dynasty is stable!
No wonder...
No wonder the eldest prince Li Sheng wants to call the future Maritime Forbidden Army a navy instead of a navy.
This ship, no, just looking at the shipbuilding site, you can tell that a ship built like this...
How can the land of rivers and lakes accommodate it?
This is simply a dragon creating the sea!
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others all had this idea in their minds!
At this moment, Wu Meiniang finally began to introduce.
"Well, this is the shipyard established by Mr. Li. You can see how different this shipyard is from ordinary shipyards..."
Considering that Li Er and others may be future customers...
The smile on Wu Meiniang's face this time was very moving, and she also worked hard in explaining.
Especially focus on the big ship in the middle.
You should not brag to potential customers who may take care of your business in the future.
And Li Er and others...
I was amazed at this magnificent shipyard, and then...
While walking with Wu Meiniang, I listened to Wu Meiniang explain the various advanced features of this big ship, and my face was filled with surprise and dullness.
Here, Li Er and others learned for the first time that Li Sheng was building a ship this time...
A lot of new techniques were used.
Far beyond the various small inventions of the past, it is a real big scene.
The various technical details of the ship are even more ingenious.
In the end, Wu Meiniang told Li Er and others that all this was done by modeling first and then enlarging it.
Li Er and others knew this, because Li Sheng had mentioned it before.
But what surprised them was...
In this way,
For thousands of years, the shape of the ship has not changed, but there are so many things that can be optimized...
And all of them are implemented using modeling.
Little tip, Li Er and others didn't take it seriously when they heard it at first, and mainly focused on other places.
But now after listening to Wu Meiniang's story, I realized that after this little trick, there was such a big article...
Sheng'er's talent is truly unparalleled in the world!
Not only that... After a while, Du Ruhui suddenly discovered another magical thing.
