Accompanying Liu Mingqi during the inspection was Jin Changyuan, the supervisor of the water transport shipyard.
Jin Yuanyuan has been working in the shipyard for a long time. He is quite capable but not good at pleasing the superiors, so he always does thankless things.
Until Miao Yan came over, he discovered such a talent within a few months, and decisively assigned him to the position of supervisor, in charge of the overall situation, so that he could perform like a fish in water.
The ten four-masted sailing ships were built under the command of Jin Changyuan in just one and a half years.
Because of previous deficiencies in drafts, sealed cabins, etc., Jin Changyuan has already gone out twice. He came back to solve the problem when he found it, and solved it again when he found the problem That's it, he didn't need to personally take part in the third trip.
"If there are no accidents, the first two four-masted sailing ships will be back around tomorrow." Jin Changyuan reported to Liu Mingqi, "This trip we went around the Ludong Peninsula to Qingdao, Rongcheng and Dengzhou. Everything was fine. .¡±
It was said earlier that the Grand Canal is an inland river and has no way to go to the sea. In fact, it is not very rigorous.
If you go northeast from Huai'an, you can enter the Yellow Sea after passing Lianyungang.
But there is an elite fleet of the Northern Navy there. Even if the Japanese ships escape there, they will not be able to go to sea. They also suffered a big loss from the Japanese pirates last year, and because the Japanese pirates suddenly landed and caused so much damage, He was scolded bloody by Emperor Jinghe and the court, and now he is holding back his anger. How could he let the Japanese go?
Liu Mingqi built the four-masted sailboat just for going to sea, so the three tests were all at sea, not in the rivers in the mainland.
"Have you tested extreme storm data?" Liu Mingqi asked him.
"This is not available yet." Jin Changyuan said with a bitter smile: "How can such a precious ship be driven into the center of tornadoes and violent storms for testing? Ordinary ships can only dodge after encountering them, instead of facing the difficulties. Come on!"
"I will still do it if I have the opportunity in the future." Liu Mingqi said to him, "But if you want to ensure the safety of the personnel, you can let the empty ship go It is not terrible if the ship breaks down. The key is to know where its limit is and which zero Which part and location breaks first, and which part and location is the strongest.¡±
"According to what you said, how can we observe without leaving people on top? You can't do it afterwards." Jin Changyuan responded.
"oh!"
Liu Mingqi laughed dumbly, "It's because I'm too persistent! Okay, let's talk about this later."
Jin Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this talented and beautiful King De was no longer obsessed with this.
¡° If we do what Liu Mingqi said, it¡¯s not certain whether the four-masted sailboat can come back safely, but the crew on board will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Jin Changyuan was not a cruel person to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for Miao Yan to discover him.
So don¡¯t take risks. It¡¯s best to be safe.
In fact, the reason why Liu Mingqi gave up was not because of Jin Changyuan's persuasion, but because he remembered various catastrophes in modern times.
Even modern warships can't withstand these disasters. If you have to let this wooden four-masted sailing ship resist, you are simply kidding.
It is now August, the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the end of summer.
There are not many days when the weather is hot.
So the craftsmen are carefully applying cooked tung oil.
There is also a strong smell of cooked tung oil in the air, which can make people who are not used to it feel dizzy.
When Jin Changyuan saw Liu Mingqi looking at them, he said: "Mr. Miao was still talking about it before. Your Highness, you are indeed the king of the country. As long as you go out, you can solve problems that others cannot solve The price of tung oil has actually increased from fifty We have been reduced to eighteen cents, which has saved us a lot of money!"
Liu Mingqi twitched his lips.
¡°For a guy like Miao Heizi, you shouldn¡¯t take his compliments seriously at all.
Because when he should cheat you, he will definitely cheat you, without any emotion at all.
Liu Mingqi was actually not unhappy about being "used" by Miao Yan so many times, because everything Miao Yan did was for the sake of prosperity and the people of the world.
"But after you finish using me, can you be a little more polite and consider my kindness?"
"Don't impeach me at every turn, and ask the emperor to grant me permission to commit suicide. Wouldn't you feel a little embarrassed when you see me again?"
It would be better for someone like Ge Songdao to switch from Confucianism to Legalism.
People know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they know what compromise is, and they will never turn their backs on others.
Liu Ming???Line hair brush, the hair alone has absorbed a lot of oil, this is a waste!
Frequent replacement of cotton and linen brushes is another waste!
And the efficiency is not high!
Liu Mingqi also saw the suspicious expressions of the craftsmen.
He said nothing, preparing to slap him in the face with the facts.
What a joke! !
During the war against Japanese pirates, my country¡¯s number one export was tung oil, and the number two export was boar bristles!
Pig bristles are definitely the number one brush when it comes to painting, especially for aircraft, ships, etc.
Even in the following decades, after chemical brushes were continuously invented, many people felt that pig bristles were more useful.
Such a magical thing, no one uses it now! ?
¡°Is this God lending my hand to guide the people of Dakang?
The young man was a little jealous for a while.
It¡¯s a good time for you, and I¡¯m here to help.
¡° If in my time and space, after 1840, such a person had appeared, I¡¯m afraid my country would not have suffered so much!
