Dongzhou.
What was originally a small fishing village on the seaside has now expanded into a sizable town.
at the very beginning.
This is a deep water bay.
For some fishermen, there are many undercurrents in the sea currents here, making fishing much more difficult than in other places.
Moreover, small fishing boats encounter great dangers when going out to sea.
It is for this reason that many fishermen left this place.
But Zhang Bao chose this place precisely because he took a fancy to this deep water bay.
Although there will be undercurrents inside, it is more stable here compared to those rough coasts.
Perfect for boat testing.
Especially during those stormy times at sea, although the waves in this deep water bay are large, they are generally quite stable.
After having the blueprints left by Zhang Bao last time, many shipbuilding craftsmen started building them here.
As for the Dongzhou matter, Zheng Shiqi naturally paid attention and supported it.
All the needs here are supported by the Zheng family.
It is precisely because of the attitude of the Zheng family that the shipbuilding needs here are continuously supplied.
Shipbuilding not only requires various manpower support, but also requires a lot of material and transportation support.
The comings and goings and permanent crowds will naturally bring about changes in this place.
At the very least, restaurants and bars for dining are gradually emerging.
There are also places like brothels coming one after another.
After all, a project like shipbuilding requires a lot of manpower. There is no industrial equipment in Daxia now. Everything from the movement of wooden sticks to the inlay of dingmao needs to be done bit by bit.
Over time, all kinds of things here appeared.
For many people this is the first time building a boat of this size.
I have no experience at all. Although I have built a few according to the appearance, during the process of testing the waters, they all became too heavy.
Either the balance is not well grasped, or there is a water leakage problem.
The volume is easy to handle, but the balance is difficult to master.
Moreover, this large ship is not like the small ships they came into contact with before, it just has the most basic structure.
On a large ship, there is also a need for a variety of rooms and functions.
Even the layout of the upper and lower floors was done by fumbling.
According to this process, the progress of shipbuilding will naturally be much slower.
The most troublesome issue is the sealing of the ship. Various methods have been tried, but no effective solution has been found.
this day.
They set out to sea with a newly built ship to try again.
This time it was a great improvement compared to before. At least it could sail normally. However, this time, the mast was not strong enough and it broke while controlling the mast.
Moreover, this ship needs to be anchored in the deep water bay for a period of time to test, and then driven out to the ocean for testing. Only when there are no problems will it be considered a success.
While everyone was busy repairing it, they saw a huge ship sailing towards here in the distance.
"not good!"
"It's a Japanese ship!"
"Everyone, run!"
One person reacted first.
For the current Daxia, there are no such ships at all, and the Japanese came here across the ocean from the Japanese country, so they naturally had their ships. The technology on the ships before was far superior to that of Daxia of.
Everyone dispersed in panic, but the people who were repairing the ship were unable to retreat in time.
Now the ship's mast is broken and it's impossible to move.
Many people crowded into the small boats and rowed towards the shore, but compared with the Japanese boats, the speed was still slower.
Many people also fell into the water in panic.
He was caught back by the fishing net thrown from the Japanese ship.
Many people thought that they were going to fall into the hands of the Japanese and be killed, with their faces turned earth-colored.
Especially some shipbuilding craftsmen.
When they were found by Zhang Bao, they came because of the amount of money Zhang Bao gave them.
But I didn't expect it.
Now the money is earned, but no life is spent.
I have always heard that the Japanese were ruthless and ruthless. After catching someone, they would kill them directly. Although they wanted to struggle, it was useless inside the fishing net.
Just when they were left on the deck to die, they found some familiar people appearing in front of them.
its not right.
Why do these people look familiar?
Moreover, they had seen these purebred Japanese before. They were all short in stature, but these people in front of them were very tall.
Only when they saw Zhang Bao among the crowd did they react.
"grown ups!"
"How could it be you?"
"It scared us to death. I thought they were Japanese!"
A craftsman said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao quickly asked people to release these people who were caught with fishing nets.
Explained the origin of this ship.
I also heard about the problems people in Dongzhou are encountering during the shipbuilding process.
But now with this Japanese ship, all the problems they encountered before can be easily solved.
No matter how bad it is, some structures can be built directly with reference to the current Japanese ship, and there will be no problem.
Zhang Bao also arranged some gaps in the structure of the existing Japanese ships.
These gaps are reserved for later weapon positions.
After the last time, Zhang Bao and the others used this ship to fight Japanese ships, and found that the shortcoming was still insufficient firepower.
At that time, if Zhang Bao's ship was equipped with sufficient weapons, it would be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the Japanese ships.
The hot air balloon used by Zhao Gao and others can cooperate with Zhang Bao and his ships.
According to Zhang Bao’s current thoughts.
The most feared thing when dealing with the Japanese was the direct collision with the Japanese ships.
Now these Japanese ships have no way to deal with their ships.
And want to sink them.
The best way is to hit.
No matter how powerful Zhang Bao's ships are, they are still made of the same wood.
I can't bear it at all.
Once the Japanese used this suicidal method, Zhang Bao and his ships would be in danger.
Zhang Bao had to guard against this suicidal attack method, which was often used by the Japanese dwarfs.
If you want to resist this kind of impact, you must either rely on fast speed to dodge, or rely on heavy defense to resist.
But for now.
It is relatively difficult to achieve both aspects.
And if there is absolute force to suppress it, it can be done.
But Zhang Bao can't care about it now.
Changes always happen faster than planned, and Zhang Bao cannot wait until everything is perfected before dealing with it.
And the more important task is to move step by step on the land after arriving at the Japanese country. After all, the ships are only for transportation.
Zhang Bao is waiting for the news from Hezhou.
