The first thousand four hundred and ninety-three chapters of the empire
With the help of Zhao Zun and others' large ships, Zhou Yu finally no longer has to focus on stabilizing the balance of the fleet, and has 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 so close 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, Hua Yan, the prefect of Donglai, had received the message from Lu Su. Although it contained many unreasonable demands and was even clearly a request to collaborate with the enemy, looking at the several seals stamped on it, Hua Yan did not say much at all and immediately opened the door.
The warehouse took out the military supplies in reserve and prepared to sell them to Zhou Yu at a low price when Zhou Yu came.
Similarly, the Lu family also received the transaction from Liu Bei and Sun Ce. In this life, the Liu family and Sun Ce and others did not have much hatred. In the first battle of Lujiang, Sun Ce did successfully capture Lujiang, but Lukang had no idea of coexisting with Lujiang.
, and took the whole family away conveniently.
Therefore, the six companies 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 they didn't have much resentment towards Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. After all, their own clan
No one in the direct lineage died.
"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."
"Reinstall 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 strength and load-bearing capacity can be appropriately reduced." Lu Jun thought for a moment and said.
The housekeeper gave the order for renovation.
The third-generation sea-going ships on Lu Jun's side are about to be eliminated as civilian products. Their sixth-generation sea-going ships have already appeared, and the seventh-generation sea-going ships have already been put on test ships. They just need to wait for Gan Ning to come back for a test drive and then quickly improve them.
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.
Of steel, Lu Jun finally determined that metal can be used to build ships.
Lu Jun immediately wanted to build an invincible ship out of steel. Later, after calculating the cost, Lu Jun said that even if Lu was sold, he couldn't build it. But 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 a product made by Lu Jun by changing materials and strengthening the structure. 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 large ship can only carry 3,000 people. Of course, it is built in this way, and after the center of gravity is lowered, there is no need for ballast. The dead weight of this ship is still very high.
Awesome.
However, because it is a product of imagination, Lu Jun, the seventh-generation sea-going ship, is actually very unsure. Although according to various data, this seventh-generation sea-going ship is very good, if he does not drive it out and try it, 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 now blocking the remaining Kushan fleets in Malacca. Of course, Gan Ning has no idea that Vesuthiva I could not find King Sariputra 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.
A fleet of ships threw ships into the sea.
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 dispatched nearly half of his 200,000 infantry and cavalry to attack eastward from Route 6. The land on the Indian subcontinent was visibly destroyed.
Vaisudeva 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 scolded by Brahmin bastards and forced into the palace by other Kshatriyas. In a rage, Vesudeva I angrily 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.
In this country, Vesudeva I has established himself as a tyrant and is actually stable! (To be continued.) 8
