Whether it is shipyards or docks, the Mohists must be responsible.
Now we have just experienced a big war, and nearly 60% of the ship was destroyed. The situation is very bad. Even if there is no war, we are not fully sure to fight against the Japanese pirates at sea, let alone the current situation, not counting the fishing boats.
, the few remaining intact warships alone can at best resist sporadic privateers.
Cuiyu is one of those talented people who can be both literary and military. After capturing a prince alive at the border, he broke the habit of killing and started to let himself go.
In tonight's battle, if Cuiyu hadn't been wearing a Confucian robe, who would have thought that this guy was a man of culture, and he killed many people when he boarded the Zhenhai.
Chu Qing poured a cup of tea for Cuttlefish: "Brother Mo."
"There is no good thing in calling me brother."
Chu Qing: "..."
"If you fart, let it go."
"About the warship." Chu Qing sat back, worried: "It's not an option if we continue like this."
"After saying it in one breath, you call me brother all the time, and I feel uneasy."
"I don't want to trick you, I just want to discuss the improvement of warships with you."
Cuttlefish was happy: "Do you know about warships?"
"I don't understand, but I am the commander-in-chief, so I have the right to pretend to understand when I don't understand."
"Even when you are not a handsome man, I don't hesitate to pretend to understand."
Chu Qing looked suspicious: "Why are you getting poorer and poorer now?"
Squid took a sip of tea and said, "Those who are close to the ink will be black."
Chu Qing couldn't say a word. He found that Cuiyu was becoming more and more eloquent.
In fact, it’s not to blame that Mo Yu is poor. Apart from those who are close to Mo, Lao Mo knows very well that as long as he follows the same words as before, he will definitely suffer a loss if he follows Chu Qing. Either he will be disgusted by Chu Qing or Fu San. It’s not just him, many early
My friends all have long memories.
Rolling his eyes, Chu Qing brought up the business: "The warship is too fragile, especially in this kind of encounter. It is impossible to take full advantage of the gunpowder crossbow. The attack method is too single. On the one hand, it is necessary to maintain the battle formation to attack intensively."
Quickly destroying the enemy's warships is the most critical issue. The prerequisite for victory in the naval battle I want to fight is to ensure everyone's safety, not to change the limit for one."
Cuiyu said helplessly: "Once the warship approaches, if the gunpowder crossbow does not quickly sink the enemy ship, just like tonight, the battle speed is extremely high, and even if it is slightly damaged, the entire ship will enter the water. It is necessary to fight, but also
The damaged areas must be plugged to prevent water from entering. If you want to win but are unwilling to suffer losses, how can such a good thing happen?"
Glancing at Chu Qing, Cuiyu also knew that the former was considering everyone's safety, so his tone softened a bit.
"This is what happens in naval battles. This is also the reason why there are no docks in the three channels of the East China Sea. If the damage is serious, the ship will be rebuilt. But as early as the third year of Yuansheng, the family headed by the Yu family no longer built warships.
Many shipyards near sea areas are also abandoned. The only two remaining shipyards can only build sea-going ships and cannot build warships. If you want big ships and warships, you need to build new shipyards from scratch.
"
"No, what I want to say is not about the shipyard, but about the hull structure."
"structure?"
"I just thought of it after hearing about the battle damage." Chu Qing picked up a pen and paper: "I'd better draw it. It's just an idea. I don't know the details. The general idea is that there are many independent cabins in the hull. When
When a warship is damaged and flooded, other watertight compartments that have not been affected can still provide buoyancy for the warship, greatly slowing down the sinking speed of the warship, and can also be used for storage, classification, and multi-purpose space."
While talking and drawing, the cuttlefish holding the tea cup was thoughtful.
After drawing the drawing, Chu Qing handed it to Cuiyu: "Can you understand it?"
Cuiyu lowered his head and took a closer look, with a look of confusion on his face: "Originally, I understood it, but when I looked at this drawing, I didn't understand it again."
Chu Qing: "..."
"Why do you want to draw a bucket?"
"What is this barrel? The waves are the sea, and the barrel is... No, this thing is a warship. In today's warships, if water leaks in one place, it will spread to all places immediately. These vertical lines are watertight compartments, dividing the ship into many
Independent spaces, once water leaks, water will only leak in these independent spaces, other locations can still..."
Cuiyu directly threw it at the drawing: "Don't continue talking. I understand. If I look at the drawing again and listen to you again, I won't understand."
Chu Qing wanted to curse again. He didn't know whether he should say it was because of his poor expression ability or because Cuttlefish's ability to understand was strong. The more he spoke, the less he could understand.
Cuiyu gave Chu Qing another fatal blow: "When you talk about this watertight compartment, as the name suggests, I already understand. Next time, just say what it is called, don't say what it means."
Chu Qing pointed at the handsome tent and said, "You can start cooking, thank you. I'm in a bad mood right now. If you keep pushing me hard, I'll easily let Third Brother hurt you."
The cuttlefish is not afraid: "Then let me tell you a happy event."
"What a happy event."
"Do you still remember what I told you about flying birds when we were at the border? People can hang in the belly of birds..."
Chu Qing's face showed ecstasy: "Flying Wings?!" 1
"Yes, that's what you called this thing at that time. It was made a few days before my death."
"I'm going, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is indeed a joy..."
Halfway through, Chu Qing suddenly pointed at the handsome tent and said: "Get out!"
Cuttlefish was dumbfounded. How could he fall out so easily?
Chu Qing's nose was so angry that he forgot about it and wouldn't get angry if he didn't mention it.
When you were at the border, you couldn't get it done by grinding and grinding. Now when you go to the East China Sea, you mainly rely on naval battles. It's useless for you to get it out.
Whether it's a flying wing or something else to call it, Chu Qing understands the function of this thing. He stands on a high place and swoops down with the help of wind speed.
If it is at the border or in a land battle, it is indeed very useful. It can detect the enemy's situation or sneak past the enemy's position to attack the rear grain and grass, etc. Even if it is not good, it can kill many people with just two bricks.
But now we are in the East China Sea, there is no hair, but there is height. Stand on the flagpole, fly directly over, and then... there is nothing more. You cannot control the landing point. Even if you control the landing point, you will either fall into the water or fall into the water.
on enemy ships.
If you fall into the water, it is difficult to save. A warship is not a bicycle. You can stop wherever you want, and stop whenever you want.
Falling onto an enemy ship would be worse than falling into the water. By the time we get over, the corpses will be feeding the fish.
As for throwing gunpowder in the way of a "bomber", even Sun An went to the flower boat. You must know that the flying wing dives, not flies in a straight line. It can dive to a close distance, and the crossbow can also shoot over it.
Chu Qing's mood became even worse: "It's the Mo family's rich son. What do you think I need you for? If I had known, I would have donated the 500,000 yuan to the mountainous area."
Cuttlefish was so angry: "Didn't I pay you back the money?"
Chu Qing felt wrong and was too embarrassed to say anything.
The third brother intervened in time: "The principal has been paid, but the interest has not been paid."
"What the hell is there interest on?"
"What do you think." The third brother waved his hand grandly: "I will let my young master make the decision, and the interest will be waived. You Mo family, please think of some more useful mechanisms. Don't be lazy all day long."
Cuttlefish: “…”
"Who says it's not?" Chu Qing teased: "Old Mo only has this ability. Forget it, the watertight cabin is designed and will be used on new warships in the future. I will tell He Jizhen later and continue to study how to improve gunpowder.
Power, and you, the children of the Mo family, see if there is room for improvement in the bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow. The most important thing is sea defense tower, sea defense tower, or sea defense tower. The most important thing is to say three times. There is almost no maritime combat now.
If you have the ability, build coastal defense towers quickly to protect yourself. Build coastal defense towers in any area where ships can dock, carry out major construction projects, and hire all the people who can work. The sooner the better."
