Luo Zhang left Yanlailou and went straight to the shipyard. After spending so much money, he naturally wanted to see the situation. He was so busy these days that he didn't have time to go and see. Although the news reported that everything was as usual, he still wouldn't do it without seeing it with his own eyes. Relieved!
When Luo Zhang arrived at the shipyard, he saw that the shipyard was in full swing. A group of old guys were vigorously directing a group of young people to assemble offshore ships!
The reason why I talk about assembly is that I have said before that Luo Zhang uses shipbuilding as a model aircraft. He builds all the wood in advance and finally puts it together, and an offshore ship is built!
This method saves time and effort, and more importantly, saves money and does not cause waste. Even if the warship breaks down in the future, it is easy to repair. Wherever it is damaged, just replace the material there, and the warship can be put into battle again. .
For Luo Zhang's innovative method, a group of old guys in the Shipyard Department were shocked and regarded Luo Zhang as a god. In their opinion, only a god could come up with such a method!
Luo Zhang didn't explain this either. How to explain it? Tell them this is based on experience gained through model aircraft?
Even if you tell them, they won’t understand, so it’s better not to tell them!
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, the person in charge of the shipyard, Mr. Ma, came over and said with a flattering smile: "Why are you free to come to the shipyard to see us today? Did you bring us some good wine? I've heard it. It’s delicious!”
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes. Although these old guys are older, their noses are sharper than those of dogs. He did bring wine, but he didn't put it on his body. Instead, he put it on the carriage and brought it from Yanlailou. Knowing that these old guys are good at drinking, they naturally want to reward them!
"There must be wine, but how is your shipbuilding going?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Ship? With your help, it only takes three days to build a ship. This also includes launching inspection. In other words, in three days, we can deliver a warship that satisfies you!" When Mr. Ma heard that there was wine, he hurriedly explained.
Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction. Efficiency, this is what later generations would call work efficiency. With Luo Zhang's method, shipbuilding has become an assembly line operation. How can it be faster?
Under the leadership of Ma Lao, Luo Zhang visited the shipyard. Up to this time, the shipyard had built eighteen improved offshore warships, and all of them have been delivered to the Royal Navy at the dock for daily training. As for operation, there are a lot of new recruits recruited there. Most of these recruits don't know how to swim, let alone how to operate a boat. These all need to be taught and practiced!
"How are the details of the large seagoing ships going?"
After walking around in a circle, Luo Zhang came to a pavilion outside and sat down and asked.
After hearing Luo Zhang's question about the large sea ship, Mr. Ma's bright smile suddenly disappeared without a trace! It turned into a bitter face!
"Sir, this large sea ship is really difficult to build. Although you have given a lot of suggestions, the most important keel of a large sea ship is difficult to find. There are other things... If you want to build this large sea ship, you must first solve the keel. Problem! We can slowly think of other solutions!" Mr. Ma cried!
"Dragon bone..." Luo Zhang pondered.
Indeed, this keel can be said to be the backbone of the ship. What would happen if a person lost his backbone? Nature collapses into mud, and a ship without its keel is like a human being, unable to even build.
A lot of wood was used to make the keel before, but they all failed in the end. The ship was too big and the keel couldn't withstand such a large torsion, and it was easy to break. This problem has never been solved well!
Therefore, no large-scale sea-going ship has been built until today!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Luo Zhang's mind. It's just that this matter is a bit difficult. If it can be done, the problem of the keel will be solved!
But this is just an idea. Whether it can be realized will have to wait until Liu Renyuan comes back!
"Leave this matter to me. I will find a way to get the keel of the large sea ship. Now you think more about how to solve other problems. When the keel is obtained, you can build it directly without wasting time!" Luo Zhang warned!
"Yes, sir!" Ma Lao was shocked when he heard Luo Zhang's words and hurriedly bowed and replied.
After visiting the shipyard, Luo Zhang took a carriage and went straight to the Royal Pier of the Tang Dynasty.
When we arrived at the dock, the master craftsman came out to greet us in person. Although the dock had been built, there were still many basic things that had not been completed.
What Luo Zhang wants is a town-like wharf, including accommodation, warehouses, restaurants, markets, etc.
There should also be walls around it to protect the goods. If the goods want to be shipped out, they can only be released by clearing the main entrance and having documents for the goods to be shipped out of the warehouse.
Luo Zhang, this is also the standard for freight moved from later generations to be shipped out of the warehouse. This will prevent the goods from being messy, avoid smuggling and false claims, and prevent some people from taking advantage of them.
Of course, it is still under construction and has not been put into use. There is not much cargo at the terminal, so there is no need to implement that method.
People in the Tang Dynasty were still not used to transporting goods by ship, and still preferred to use horse-drawn carriages. This was a habit they had developed over the years. If you want to change it, you can’t just talk about it. You have to come up with something that impresses them. This will still have to wait until Liu Renyuan comes back. Can!
Accompanied by the master craftsman, Luo Zhang inspected the situation of the dock. There was nothing special about it. Everything was under construction and operation in an orderly manner. Luo Zhang was quite satisfied with this and encouraged the master craftsman. Luo Zhang went straight to the military camp not far from the dock.
There are recruits recruited by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty stationed there. Luo Zhang spent a lot of money on this, so naturally he went to see what the situation was like!
Before arriving at the barracks, I heard bursts of shouts and shouts, which seemed very impressive.
This makes Luo Zhang very satisfied. No matter how good the sea skills are, this momentum is very good, which shows that everyone is very motivated and naturally motivated to learn things!
Without disturbing anyone, Luo Zhang walked to the gate of the camp and was stopped by several guards!
"This is an important area of the military camp. No idlers are allowed in!" A young man with a beard stopped Luo Zhang and said!
Luo Zhang looked at this majestic young man, smiled and said, "What's your name?"
The bearded young man was slightly startled and said: "You don't care what my name is, get out of here quickly. This is not a place you can come to. If you come closer, be careful that the military master will be rude to you!"
After hearing this, Luo Zhang laughed even louder, thinking that this young man was so interesting!
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, go and call Liu Rengui!" Luo Zhang ordered lightly.
"Hey, where did this kid come from? He actually knows the name of our adults? What, you want to find connections to join our Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty? Boy, you have found the wrong person. We don't want to use the back door here. Every soldier who comes in They are all carefully selected and have gone through layers of selection. You think you can get in easily if you find an adult, but you are wrong!" The bearded young man mocked Luo Zhang.
"Yes, kid, you'd better leave quickly. This trick doesn't work here. Many officials came here before and wanted to send their children in, but none of them agreed, so they all were driven away. !" The guard on the side said in support.
"Oh, your adults are not afraid of offending those people?" Luo Zhang asked curiously.
"Afraid? Why should my lord be afraid? Do you know who is the head of our Royal Navy? He is the youngest marquis in the dynasty. Who dares to chatter here? Be careful not to eat and walk around!" The bearded young man said proudly.
"Yes, we adults only have one thing to say, that is, you can enter here if you want, as long as you pass the test. Considering your small arms and legs, you should go home and practice for two years before coming back. Maybe you will have a chance then!"
Luo Zhang smiled so much that he almost lost his breath. Of course, he was more impressed with his admiration. He admired Liu Rengui for running the army well and not using the back door, which was extremely rare in the Tang Dynasty.
After all, who doesn’t have a personal love life? But Liu Rengui rejected them all. This requires a lot of determination and will offend a lot of people. It is not enough to have Luo Zhang as a backer. Luo Zhang's backing is only one aspect. It is more about the principles of life!
At this time, Luo Zhang was very confident about choosing Liu Rengui as the coach here.
"Boy, why don't you listen? What I said is all for your own good. Go quickly and don't waste time here. You won't be able to pass even if you go in. Come back after two years when you have mastered your skills. When the time comes, brother, I’ll help you find an adult, do you think that’s okay?” the bearded young man persuaded!
