Chapter 277 Designing a new ship overnight
Extremely troublesome for fortune transfer.
The road when we came was not easy to walk.
The Great Zhou navy harassed all year round, and most of the people in Liao people moved inland along the river.
A large number of fertile land has been deserted, and the village has long been reduced to ruins.
The Liao Kingdom has occupied the Datong Basin for more than three years and the population has recovered very slowly.
This is something that can't be done.
At the beginning, the two countries fought and killed many people.
Some of the migration southwards, how many are left?
Later, although the people's hearts gradually stabilized after some of the Liao Dynasty's pacification policies.
But if you want to restore the population size of your heyday.
Where is more than three years enough?
It's impossible for two or three generations to do it.
Even if a large number of people retreated into the inland, they still do not lack land for cultivation.
The road leading to the riverside has been disrepaired for so many years, Chen Lin and his group have suffered.
He first brought two hundred cavalry and carried a large number of food and grass and war horses back to the riverside.
The navy sent more than 300 people to ride on horses, flew away the carriage and continued to run twice.
Anyway, half-body armor cannot tell the truth at night.
The retreating Liao army mostly went back to defend its nest.
Harassment and sneak attacks did not occur.
It's midnight.
The navy also had to transfer the excess war horse supplies to the other side.
I definitely can't leave tonight.
The group boarded three captured warships.
Chen Lin calculated carefully and found that each ship was equipped with five heavy trenchers.
All kinds of ammunition are well preserved.
Even the reserved food and grass were not destroyed.
It can be seen how panicked these people are running?
Wu Qi sighed as he stroked the porthole window a bed crossbow.
"These things, when put into Anding Navy, are all high-quality products."
"The Liu family has a great goal!"
The red lady curled her lips.
How powerful was Liu Lianchou, the famous iron gallant in the North?
As a result, he was shot into a war horse and fell to bite the dog.
In the end, she couldn't even catch it with a single knife.
Actually, it is not the case.
The Liu family father and son were defeated in the water battle, but they dared not fight in the land battle.
As anxious as a dog that is strayed, how much courage and strength are there?
The heavy cavalry swung his sword, even if he was a good martial arts player, he would be hard to resist.
Didn’t the young and strong Liu Chengzhi also cut off his silver spear by Wu Qi’s knife?
With a swipe of his sword, he didn't even have the ability to dodge.
Not to mention that Liu Lianchou was already injured and experienced a series of blows such as the pain of losing his son.
The Hongniang has taken a bargain.
"I blinded their dog eyes, and I have to provoke our Iron Army?"
"Eggs hit stones."
"I deserve it!"
Liang Zhi searched up and down and came down happily to report the report.
"Sir, this ship is extremely sturdy."
"The basics are better than our six ships!"
“It’s very valuable to make a transformation.”
Wu Qi looked surprised.
How is that possible?
"Forget it, the four thousand-dan ships are still civilian ships."
"But the two large ships are not Liao people's escort-class warships?"
"Isn't it as good as a camouflage warship like the Liu family?"
Chen Lin felt it was not surprising.
"The Great Zhou does not allow private warships to be built."
"Even if the Liu family's shipyard is hidden, it is always located in the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture, right?"
"Build too much, where can I hide it?"
"The only way is to keep improving!"
"Chen Liang is so happy now, hahaha!"
Chen Liang, who is arranging a transfer, is of course happy.
He now has a total of one navy and a thousand-department department, and the original six ships are not enough.
Once the three 3,000-class warships are transformed, they will be completed.
The navy can be considered as strong as a strong army.
Every time you go out, all the staff can be dispatched.
Get rid of the trenchers and crossbows that take up space.
The nine iron warships were enough to achieve a total carrying capacity of 15,000 dan.
For the current Lushui Iron City, it is loaded with a thousand armored cavalry to be released from a long range.
No need to worry about being unable to squeeze.
Enough to use it for a long time.
In fact, Chen Lin prefers to build his own ships.
The current sailing warships are supplemented by masts and oars, and it is too difficult to drive against the current.
Strangely, there were no paddle wheels and ships in the Great Zhou and the Great Liao.
Cars and boats have sails, and there is no worries when the wind is smooth.
When counter-current, it mainly relies on human power to step on the paddle to drive the paddle wheel to rotate.
With the addition of sails, it is not much slower than the speed of the water.
Chen Lin can completely design a more advanced precision paddle wheel system composed of iron fans, gears, chains and pulleys.
With the protection of the shell and armor, the paddle wheel is not easily damaged.
More importantly.
Inland boats are all flat bottoms, and it is already very large to build tens of thousands of tracts.
Currently, the sailboats are all a main keel with limited length.
But the car and ship are divided into three-stage structures.
The inland rivers are not very windy and waves, so what if you get 15,000 dan?
Converted to later units, the displacement is less than 2,000 tons.
In the upper reaches of the Lushui River, a large ship of 5,000 dan can be opened.
It’s not that the bigger ones can’t leave.
Who would enter a remote tributary like Lushui, an ordinary large ship?
I am not familiar with hydrology, and once it is stranded, the big ship will be in trouble.
Moreover, when you arrive at the wandering beach dozens of miles away, it is completely out of navigation.
But this is not a problem for Chen Lin.
Don't work?
We have cement, so isn't it okay to build a cement channel wide enough?
It can still be used for many years.
Of course, once the weather is too cold, the Lushui River may freeze.
Once the warship is frozen, it is very dangerous.
A suitable docking land and digging a salt lake must be put on the agenda.
As long as the artificial lake is built, the boat yard and mooring will be safe.
Do you still need to worry about not having a warship?
That night, Chen Lin stayed on the seized warship and kept writing and painting.
He wanted to design the most labor-saving paddle wheeled ship that was most suitable for the Iron Army.
It was dawn, and Snake Bai got up and put on a thick coat for him.
Looking at Chen Lin with black eyes, Chen Wuxia said with pain.
"I can't stand it if I don't sleep all night."
"My husband, there are many people in our Tiecheng who are capable."
"You can't do everything yourself, right?"
Chen Lin enjoyed the gentle massage of his beloved wife, and his sour shoulders were loose.
He patted White Snake's warm little hand and chuckled.
"Most things can be left to someone to do."
"But when it comes to invention, who else in the entire Iron City is better than your husband?"
Snake White rolled her eyes charmingly and giggled.
"Look, you can do it."
"So many gentlemen in the school? Some people like to study magical skills."
"You wouldn't have to find a few helpers?"
Chen Lin nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Let's discuss with them and set up a design institute."
Outside the window.
There was a tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-
Liang Zhi reported in a low voice.
"Sir, a navy fleet was found upstream."
"Under the banner of Li Guangli."
Will you win the team so quickly?
Li Guangli is not a person who can easily let go, right?
There are many wealthy counties and towns on both sides of the Danshui River.
How many places can I grab in ten days?
If Chen Lin is replaced, he will be unwilling to accept it.
White Snake smiled and said, "General Li has made a lot of money!"
"He doesn't know how much our Iron Army has helped him secretly?"
Chen Lin stood up and rubbed his stiff hands.
"We are not short of money, nor do we care about those who have three melons and two dates."
"Let's go, take a look!"
