Chapter 80 is closed Some things are difficult to explain, but Li Zhen knows very well in her heart, knowing that the limit of wooden sailing ships is far more than 2,000 tons.
Not to mention anything else, France's Valmy sail battleship, Li Zhen has heard of it, this guy is the pinnacle of sail battleships, but it has a full load displacement of more than 5,800 tons.
This is still a battleship, if it is replaced by a cargo ship, the displacement must be at least doubled - under normal circumstances, the size of a battleship of the same mass is much smaller than that of a cargo ship, because it is enough for a cargo ship to have a cargo hold, unlike a battleship, which has to thicken the walls, pull cannonballs, and have to be equipped with combatants, and sometimes have to add armor, so much extra weight is added, and the battleship will look much petite compared to the cargo ship.
This is only the limit of the sailing ship, if the power is replaced by a steam engine, the displacement will be increased again, and it is not impossible to even reach tens of thousands of tons.
It is a pity that although the design of the steam engine has already been drawn by Li Zhen, and even the finished product has been manufactured, it is a pity that the lack of some airtight materials has limited the popularity of the steam engine, and now only a few arsenals under Li Zhen's name use such machines, and the production efficiency has increased rapidly.
It's just that the best airtight material rubber is still in the primeval jungle of South America, and Li Zhen can't go for a while.
But he was not in a hurry, anyway, from the time he decided to open the Age of Discovery, the new continent was already destined to be the Tang Dynasty - the Age of Discovery began in the 15th century, and now it is only the 7th century, with an interval of eight centuries.
Li Zhen doesn't believe it, my descendants of Yan and Huang are working 800 years in advance, and the New World and Australia can still fall into the hands of Westerners?
If that's the case, Li Zhen really has nothing to say, but to kill herself to prove her innocence.
"Okay, since you, the proprietor, have no opinion, what else can I, a part-time worker, say?"
Zheng Yintao had never seen such a heroic boss, and he was suddenly angry in his heart, evil was born from the side of his guts, and he took a breath of vitality in his mouth, and shouted like a spring thunderstorm: "Isn't it a 5,000-ton dock?"
I'm out of the way, I'll do it for you.
But Your Highness, if you want 8,000 tons of docks, ordinary materials can't work, you have to get me cement materials, I have to try cement to cover wood to strengthen the strength of the wood. ” "That's no problem, when the cement plant is built, I'll send you the first batch."
This is naturally nothing, Li Zhen casually agreed.
"Your Highness."
Zheng Yintao hurriedly thanked him, with cement as the foundation, it should be able to support the weight of 8,000 tons.
Under the leadership of Zheng Yintao, Li Zhen visited the battleship department again, the battleship here is also a fifth-class battleship, and Yoga's is also the same drawing, which is exactly the same as the model of Dengzhou Shipyard, but there are some differences in subtleties, it should be caused by the different sea conditions in the two places, but the problem is not big, and it can be adjusted after going to sea.
"Yes, everyone's enthusiasm for work is very high, and it's not the same as the bleak business you said."
Looking at the boatmen who were in full swing, Li Zhen asked suspiciously.
The scene in front of him is completely opposite to the bleak business in Zheng Yintao's mouth?
I have never heard that the factory loses money as pants, and the workers inside can still do it so enthusiastically.
"They are just workers, and they do things when they are paid, and it is none of their business whether they can sell what they make or not, as long as their salaries are paid on time, they don't care if you are doing badly."
Speaking of this, Zheng Yintao rolled his eyes: "And the boss of our shipyard happens to be a big tyrant, the salaries of the craftsmen have not been broken at all, and bonuses and benefits are paid from time to time, so they naturally will not make a salary." ” "......"
Li Zhen was speechless, thinking that Zheng Yintao had some good management methods, but it turned out to be as simple as that.
"Does Your Highness think that your subordinates have any good management methods?"
Li Zhen naturally wouldn't admit it, and hurriedly changed the topic: "That's not true, but I see that the manufacturing process of your fifth-level battleships has come up, and you can try to build fourth-level battleships in the future, after all, on the sea, fifth-level battleships can only be used as frigates, and the real battle is still battleships." ” glanced at Li Zhen with disdain, and said respectfully: "Yes, we are already preparing, and the empty thousand-ton dock over there is being prepared for this, and it is preparing to lay the keel." ” Ignoring Zheng Yintao's contempt, Li Zhen looked at the bustling and lively dockyard and said proudly: "Very good, I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of development of Yuechuan."
You're doing a good job, keep up the good work, and one day, you'll be proud of the boat you built.
Because it is these ships that will help us create an unprecedented prosperous Tang Dynasty and create an unprecedented and glorious empire. ” As Li Zhen's confidant and in charge of shipbuilding matters, Zheng Yintao also vaguely knew Li Zhen's ambitions, and he was immediately full of spirit: "Yes, the minister will work hard, and the minister will definitely see that day."
When the time comes, the minister will personally ride the ship I have built and travel all over the world to see what the world in your mouth is like, Your Highness. ” "Hahaha......"
After a visit to the shipyard, Li Zhen gathered the employees of the entire shipyard and gave them a speech.
I don't know what the effect is, anyway, I heard Zheng Yintao say that since Li Zhen's speech, the workers in the shipyard have been like chicken blood, and they don't want to be excited.
Even took the initiative to work overtime every day, and the work efficiency was greatly improved, and the gallop, which was originally expected to be completed in three months, was completed in two months, which was really unexpected. made Li Zhen want to give a speech again, but later for the sake of the boatmen's health, he still dismissed this idea (Author: Are you sure it wasn't because you were in the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate at the time and couldn't come back?).
Li Zhen (pause for a moment): ......
Three thousand guards, oh no, five thousand guards, pull this out a hundred times, a hundred times.
Author: For the sake of the shipwright's body, His Royal Highness King Yue is really a benevolent king, and the Lun family admires you.
Li Zhen (Flying Kick): Dead ladyboy, get out of the way. ）。
Next, Li Zhen looked at the passenger ship department and the small boat department, and the passenger ship department was really as Zheng Yintao said, there were only two old men left who looked at the façade, and the rest of the people went to the cargo ship department and the battleship to help, and it was empty.
The small boat department is just the opposite, the business is unusually hot, Li Zhen saw with his own eyes a fat big boss, one person bought ten inland river cargo ships, looking at his appearance, he was very satisfied with this cargo ship, and did not hesitate at the end of the payment.
Looking at the hot small boat department, Zheng Yintao said proudly: "Your Highness, all the ship manufacturing standards of our Yuechuan are in accordance with the battleship, both the quality and workmanship are first-class, and the price is not much higher than the ships on the market, so it is very popular in the market, and the order has been scheduled for half a year." ” "Turn it off."
"Yes, we will definitely continue......
What did you say, Your Highness?
Closed?
Zheng Yintao was halfway through his words before he reacted, and suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Your Highness, are you wrong?"
Is this little boat's business so good?
Why is it closed?

Don't look at the price of small boats is not as good as big ships, but there are many people, many people like our boats, plus the small boat department has enough manpower, the manufacturing speed is very fast, an average of five ships can be produced a day, a month is one hundred and fifty searches, a ship we earn fifty pieces of silver is not a problem at all, a month is seven thousand five hundred, so much money is enough to pay the wages of the workers, such a good business, why close?
