When Li Feng came to the shipbuilding base with the drawings, Liu Zong was thinking about the design of the new ship.
After the initial frenzy of updates, it became increasingly difficult to improve on the original foundation.
In the past, when Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were too worried about the need to constantly test ships because they were too worried about the upgrading of ships, they asked Liu Zong to conduct research more slowly and steadily to minimize the huge losses in research and development.
In fact, Liu Zong also had this plan at that time, so he agreed without hesitation.
Because that was exactly when he fell into a situation where he felt that there was no way to change or make any progress, as if he had reached the end of the ship and had completed the optimal solution.
But Liu Zong vaguely felt that the ship was far from reaching its limit!
But the thoughts in his mind were suppressed like countless chains and boulders. The blur allowed him to see a little light, but he was still unable to find the direction of the next ship.
Liu Zong scratched his head in distress. There were countless drawings and scraps of paper on the desk in front of him, all of which were designs he kept coming up with and discarding.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door of the house. Liu Zong raised two dark circles and said irritably: "What's the matter? Didn't you say don't bother me if you have nothing to do? Just mass-produce the latest ships!"
The person outside the house said tremblingly: "Yes, the lord has come here and said he wants to give you something. He is currently inspecting the ship building base. Governor Zhou asked me to inform you."
There are three sub-governors and one governor-general in the shipbuilding base. Governor Zhou is one of the three sub-governors.
The four governors are the backbone of the ship building base and played an extremely important role in the rapid replacement of previous ships.
One of the more interesting things is that when Liu Zong serves as the governor-general, two of the following three sub-governors are his apprentices, and the remaining one also has a relatively close relationship with him. He would not even say that he is a professional ship. Pass.
"Bang!"
As soon as the people outside the room finished speaking, they heard the sound of tables and stools knocking over from inside, and asked worriedly: "Chief Governor, are you okay?"
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and the door opened with a bang. Liu Zong glared at him, straightened his messy clothes, and coldly snorted: "I didn't tell you earlier!"
Then he hurriedly walked towards the ship building base.
The man muttered aggrievedly: "Didn't I tell you right away after knocking on the door? How else could it be too early?"
Glancing into the room, I saw that the desk had been knocked over, as if someone had been frightened and had hurriedly overturned it.
There were numerous scraps of paper and drawings on the ground, making the whole room look extremely messy.
This person felt both admirable and a little amused. Is this the current life situation of people engaged in technology? It’s either a hair-catching design or a sweat-soaked construction. The cycle is endless and continuous.
If you encounter a sudden attack from the leader, you have to go to greet it with fear, for fear that if you don't do well, the leader will be disappointed and heartbroken, and then you will go back to the manuscript and redo it frantically.
On the other side, Li Feng was inspecting the shipbuilding base in this territory with great interest.
It is said that after the craftsman competition, he really didn't pay much attention to these things. He just kept getting news that construction in all aspects was advancing by leaps and bounds, and he was very relieved.
Now when I take a look for myself, I can see that it is really developing well. It has really reached the limit of wooden boats.
If he hadn't come here on a whim to inspect the newly obtained iron ship drawings, he might have been stuck on the wooden ship issue for who knows how long.
Li Feng silently praised himself: "I came at the right time!"
Generally speaking, the boat renewal in Maplewood Village has mainly gone through seven stages: raft, small wooden boat, large wooden boat, single sailboat, multi-gallon boat, building boat, and five-story boat.
The current stage is that a five-story ship serves as the central main ship, multiple four-story, three-story, and double-story ships serve as deputy command ships and frigates, multiple sailboats serve as attack ships, and single sailboats serve as patrol, reconnaissance, assault, etc. Functional vessel.
It can be said that the system has been developed very well and the divisions are relatively reasonable, but after all, it is limited by the wooden structure and cannot make greater breakthroughs.
Regardless of the load capacity, weapons and equipment, driving speed, and defense level, there are many restrictions.
Simply speaking, Li Feng has various advanced theoretical guidance, plus the drawings of the cavalry warship obtained this time, it is very easy to break through this point.
Li Feng was fascinated by the study of these ships when a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind, and at the same time there was a slightly uneasy confession.
"Liu Zong, the governor of the shipbuilding base, has met my lord!"
"I didn't know that my lord came today, but I didn't meet you from afar. Please forgive me, lord."
Li Feng shook his head and said with a slight smile: "This time I came out for a private visit. There is nothing to welcome, let alone a trial of guilt."
"I'm here to give you something, and to see how the shipbuilding development in our territory is going."
"I am very happy with the result. You are able to develop shipbuilding to this level without any external help. It is gratifying and your contribution is outstanding."
“But equally, I also like that you don’t get too proud, stay down to earth, and continue to push shipbuilding to new heights.”
"Here is a groundbreaking shipbuilding drawing. It may inspire you. When the new warship is built, I will personally celebrate it for you!"
Li Feng handed the drawing in his hand to Liu Zong.
Liu Zong was already excited by Li Feng's heartfelt words, recognition and encouragement. When he got the drawing and opened it, his boiling blood suddenly turned cold. He stared blankly at the huge iron lump on the drawing.
He murmured in his mouth: "So that's it! That's it! I just said, I just said that shipbuilding must not have reached its limit! It turns out to be a problem of material!"
"Wood is light and easy to float, but this does not mean that boats must be made of wood. As long as the structure of other materials is well done, you can also move forward on the water!"
"And the characteristics of wood itself determine that its performance limit in many aspects is very low. It is just because of its ease of use that everyone subconsciously chooses it and stubbornly believes that only wood can build ships!"
"But why can't we build ships with iron or even stone? It's just that it's too difficult and has power problems, so everyone avoids using other materials to build ships!"
"But if others can't do it, why must I not be able to do it? I still want to build a stone ship and an iron ship!"
"With the materials of stone and iron ships, as long as they are built, the load capacity and defense will naturally be greatly improved. The only thing that needs to be solved is its power problem!"
"And this! I seem to have found the direction of my research!"
Liu Zong stared at the drawings in his hands with burning eyes, especially the core power design drawings. He squeezed his hands tightly and his heart was filled with excitement.
Li Feng looked at Liu Zong's performance and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you already know the direction of your next research, so I wish you early success."
"Okay, my purpose has been achieved this time, so I will leave now. There is no need to send you off. I will continue to work on your work. I believe you must have a lot to think about now, so I won't disturb or delay you here."
After saying that, Li Feng turned around and walked away gracefully.
Liu Zong pinched the blueprint hard, glanced at Li Feng's back, and hissed excitedly: "Get started! The three sub-supervisors, come with me to study this blueprint. We must not let the lord down!"
