"If we just build ordinary building ships here, we really won't be able to use these things!"
"What does the king mean? Do you want to build a hundred-foot tower ship?"
Before Liu Deng finished speaking, Chen Boan interrupted him.
"The Ququ Lou Ship is so unethical! What I want is a big ship that is more than fifty feet long and more than ten feet wide!"
As soon as Liu Deng said these words, the expression on Chen Boan's face suddenly became wonderful.
If it weren't for the gantry crane in front, the old man would have turned around and left at this time.
"Your Majesty, do you know that the strength of wood actually has a limit? Where can you find wood that is tens of feet long? Even if your Majesty really learns such wood, the ship will fall apart as soon as the wind and waves blow on the sea! "
When Chen Bo'an said this, he really looked like he wanted to cry without tears.
It seems that Liu Deng is regarded as one of those fools who don't eat minced meat.
"I know the old man has some doubts about what I said, but please give me some time!"
Looking at the expression on the old man's face, Liu Deng understood what was going on.
After all, what these people have seen most are building ships dozens of feet high.
If converted in proportion, the length is only twenty or thirty meters.
In this age without keels, the length of a ship reaching twenty or thirty meters is already the limit.
If it were longer, it would soon be blown away by the wind and waves, so when Liu Deng mentioned that the ship was dozens of feet long, he was immediately regarded as a fool by these master craftsmen.
"The old man should listen to your Majesty's advice. I don't know what your Majesty's solution is!"
As Chen Bo'an spoke, his face was filled with a disdainful sneer.
Liu Deng was not annoyed and just clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought up a roll of white cloth.
"Open!"
"promise!"
Liu Deng gave the order and several soldiers took action together.
In an instant, a roll of white cloth had been spread out on the ground.
Chen Boan just glanced at it, and the expression on his face immediately changed from disdain to solemnity.
"Is this a blueprint of a sea ship?"
Although Chen Boan had never seen this kind of ship, with his intuition, he immediately felt that this thing was not as simple as it seemed.
"Yes, this is the big ship I want. I wonder if you can build it?"
Liu Deng's face was full of confidence and he said with some high spirits.
"I wonder what this is, Your Majesty?"
Almost all of the master craftsmen present had been building ships all their lives. Seeing the appearance of this new type of warship that they had never seen before, they all immediately gathered around.
As a leading master craftsman, Chen Boan naturally understood the key points at a glance and asked, pointing to the keel that ran through the entire ship from beginning to end.
"I call it the keel, just like the bones of a fish, used to support the entire hull of the ship!"
"Fish bones?"
After listening to Liu Deng's words, Chen Bo'an suddenly froze on the spot.
Although this kind of ship has never appeared before, Liu Deng's words did remind him.
They live by the sea all year round, and of course they have seen those big fish that beached and died.
Isn't this what the skeletons of these big fish are exposed after they rot?
He seemed to suddenly understand something, and yet he seemed to understand nothing at all, but the expression on his face became a little silly.
"Fish bones? Fish bones?"
…
"Is Mr. Chen okay?"
Chen Boan's abnormality immediately attracted the attention of the people next to him.
"It's okay, I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm fine! It turns out it's that simple, it turns out it's that simple!"
"Hahaha! It turns out it's that simple!"
As Chen Bo'an was talking, he suddenly started laughing, but then he started crying again while laughing.
He was crying so sadly, and looking at them howling loudly, Liu Deng felt worried.
If this old man died here today, wouldn't the blame be placed on him?
"How about I come back another day?"
After waiting for a long time, Chen Boan's mood did not improve, and Liu Deng was really worried.
"I made the king laugh! My old man has been confused all his life, and today he finally woke up. I also ask the king to introduce me to the master who designed this ship! If I can meet him face to face, my old man will do it. There is no regret in dying!"
Chen Boan's excited look made Liu Deng even more worried. If his age really passed by all of a sudden, he really couldn't explain it.
"All the drawings of this ship were drawn by the king himself, and he spent several nights working on it!"
Before Liu Deng could speak, Du Ziteng could not help but speak.
"What did you say? This is painted by the king?"
Chen Bo'an was not so polite to Du Ziteng. As he spoke, he grabbed Du Ziteng's collar.
"Yes, yes..."
Du Ziteng also didn't expect that the old man's hands were so strong.
For a moment, he even felt that if he had answered any later, he might have had his neck strangled by the old man.
"Your Majesty, is this really what you drew?"
After getting the affirmative answer, Chen Boan turned to look at Liu Deng again.
But fortunately, he also knew Liu Deng's identity, so he didn't take action directly.
"This king just happened to see the carcass of a big fish one day, and I was inspired by it, so I drew this picture. Today I am here to confirm with the seniors to see if this method is feasible!"
Liu Deng coughed dryly and then said.
"The king is indeed a genius. I don't know how many people have been thinking hard for many years, but they can't build a bigger ship anyway, but they never thought that this method is so simple!"
As Chen Boan spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The elders also think that this method is feasible?"
Liu Deng asked tentatively.
"Of course it's possible! When I was young, I was lucky enough to go out to sea with a group and saw a boat-eating fish once! Since big fish can grow that big, so can boats!"
Chen Boan said very firmly.
"Although I say that, we still need to carefully consider these details!"
Liu Deng only knew about the laying of the keel, but when it came to the specific details, he actually had no idea, so he didn't dare to speak too fully.
Chen Bo'an immediately came over. At first, he walked carefully around the drawings. Later, he simply took off his shoes and walked directly to the drawings. He used the crutch in his hand to point at the weird things Liu Deng had drawn. Symbols, constantly asking for details.
Whether it's the keel, the watertight compartment, or those weird sails, everything is attracting Chen Bo'an's attention...
