With the temptation of promotion and fortune, the craftsmen were very motivated. After I said that this projectile was just my initial idea and I would need to leave it to them for further improvement, someone immediately had the courage to put forward their own opinions, and soon formed a Two groups started to argue - one group said that range was the most important thing, and the other group said that projectile strength was the most important thing!
And what both groups of people say is very reasonable, because the launch speed of this projectile has limited room for improvement, so those who insist that range is important believe that firing first at the farthest distance can fire twice more when the enemy rushes in front of you. ; And those who insist on strength believe that as long as the strength of the crossbow arm is increased, it is reasonable to fire three times the weight of "ammunition" at one time to cause serious damage to the enemy!
There is motivation only when there is competition. Seeing that they were divided into two theoretical schools in an instant, I immediately divided them into two groups and let them practice in their respective directions. What is more important, range or projectile power, I also I don't know, but I know that if the two are "matched high and low", it is definitely feasible.
Of course, I did not forget to set a unified condition for them - accuracy must be taken into account! Otherwise, if this thing is installed on Asan's boat in the future, most of the ammunition fired will fall into the sea. Wouldn't that be a joke to others?
After receiving my instructions, the two teams of "engineers" immediately ran to their respective workshops with great enthusiasm and began to discuss and work in full swing.
Real knowledge comes from practice. With my instruction of "Don't care about waste", what they need is to turn the theory into physical objects. There is no need to worry about raw materials and materials. Of course, there is also the reward of ten thousand taels of silver that I added. Gold can definitely allow them to unleash 250% of their creative potential!
Seeing the enthusiastic enthusiasm of the craftsmen, I felt so happy!
And God bless me, my happiness turned into a surprise the moment the craftsmen ran into the workshop.
"Your Highness! Report from outside, there are several young men from Shuanghe Town who want to see Your Highness." A guard hurried in to report.
"Shuanghe Town? Tell them to come in quickly!" I was happy and immediately became overjoyed.
"Huh? Is it Jun Xingjian and the others here?" Li Jia's eyes lit up and he asked knowingly.
"Hehe, there's Dai Yang, the handsome guy you fell in love with at first sight." I joked with a smile, but in exchange I got an angry look from the girl.
After a while, a group of young people dressed in simple clothes appeared in front of me. Before I could speak, they all shouted to His Highness and began to salute.
"Your Highness, you are so stupid! From now on, as long as you are not in front of outsiders, you can call me big brother!" After helping Jun Xingjian and others, I laughed and cursed, and immediately pulled them towards the special pavilion in Baiqiaofang, "First Come and look at my drawings of the ship, and talk about other things while you look at them!"
Although they had a lot to say, Jun Xingjian, Jiang Feng and others saw me talking as soon as they met, and immediately realized that the matter was important, and immediately put away the smiles on their faces and followed me.
As soon as they arrived in my ¡®research room¡¯, a group of people were stunned.
It was a large, square room without any decoration. In addition to the odd square cabinets surrounding it, there were a few long square tables in the empty hall, as well as some messy bottles and cans. paper.
"You all come from naval families. Please help me take a look at this ship and see if there is anything that needs to be improved when traveling on the sea." I picked up a huge roll of white paper and spread it on the table. I looked at the picture of the ship. asks a charcoal sketch of a seagoing ship.
At first sight, Jun Xingjian and others were curious when they saw the pure black sketch of the ship. After checking it for a while, curiosity turned into admiration, and everyone was amazed and amazed.
?????????????????????? Of course the ships I drew were not designed by me
We don't know who its designer is, but I know its appearance clearly - when I was doing "archaeological" research in my previous life, I often collaborated with foreign colleagues. One of them was salvage A Viking shipwreck, so in the early homework, I had a deep understanding of the construction and appearance of the warships that the Vikings once roamed across Northern Europe. Unexpectedly, under a strange combination of circumstances, my original boring behavior ended up There is a huge use case at this moment.
It is said that Viking ships are divided into two types: warships and cargo ships. Warships have lighter hulls, narrow and long hulls, are flexible, light and resistant to wind and waves; while cargo ships are relatively tall and wide, and have heavy hulls. When sailing with heavy loads in rough seas, They can remain stable, but their unified characteristics are high freeboard and pointed bottom, which are very different from the low freeboard and flat bottom of river ships, and they are most suitable for sailing on the sea.
So Jun Xingjian, Jiang Feng and others looked at the sketch for a while, and then they all clapped their hands and applauded.
A layman looks at the excitement, and an expert looks at the door. Within a moment, they know the benefits and advantages of this ship - by the way, what we plagiarized is a famous Viking warship in another world. After getting this ship, it has not yet flourished. How can it not be shocking to the world?
"Brother, did you design this?" Jun Xingjian asked with admiration on his face.
"Of course! What do you think of the effect of using this ship to conduct raids at sea?" I chuckled and decisively put gold on my face, without even noticing that my integrity had fallen to the ground.
"Isn't it too wasteful just to conduct a raid" Jiang Feng looked at the drawings with bright eyes and murmured to himself.
"What a waste! I came here to ask you to carry out a raid." I replied with a smile.
As soon as I finished speaking, a group of young people looked at me curiously, as if they were guessing why I asked them to come to Yuezhou a long time ago.
"I asked you to come to Yuezhou because there is something important for you to do." Looking at them with a smile, I added with a strange expression.
"What's the big deal?"
"Your mission is to go to the West China Sea to form a naval force No! It's a navy! It's specially used to fight in coastal waters!"
"What does eldest brother mean is he telling us to be on guard against the Miguo navy that was recruited by Daduan?" Jun Xingjian asked with piercing eyes.
"Exactly! The navy that Daduan has collected has always been a serious problem for me, Nan Le, so in order to prevent them from making a surprise landing, I asked my father to let you go to the West Sea to secretly form a navy."
'Really? Hahaha, it¡¯s great to be so real. We have long been tired of staying in the rivers and lakes of Shuanghe, and we have long been looking forward to going to the sea to play! "A group of young people were overjoyed when they heard that I asked them to form a navy, and Dai Yang among them even shouted with joy.
But I can understand their excitement. These young people are full of blood. Living under the eyes of their parents in Shuanghe Town, they are somewhat uncomfortable doing things. How can they not be happy now that they have the opportunity to "fly freely".
"I'm not asking you to go play! This matter concerns the country, the country, and the country. If any of you feel relaxed, then don't go." I glared at a few people pretending to be dissatisfied, and I said with a disappointed expression.
"No, no, no! We will never be careless about what big brother told us!" Seeing that I was angry, several people immediately promised me one after another.
"It's empty talk! If you want to go, issue a military order. If someone makes any mistakes, I will never let it go." I took the opportunity to make a request.
Without any hesitation, several people agreed immediately.
"Also, after you go to Xihai this time, if there is no need, don't contact me for the time being." Seeing several people making guarantees, I suddenly made a request with a smile.
"Why?" Several people were puzzled.
"Hey, when you go this time, I'm not asking you to lead troops! But to assist! Assist my third brother. In a few days, he will be named the King of the West Sea, and the military administration along the coast will fall into his hands. You will be his generals in the future.¡±
"Ah? The third princebut he and the eldest brother"
When several people heard that they were going to be Ah San¡¯s subordinates, they all had tangled expressions on their faces.
It can be seen that they are very dissatisfied with Ah San for attacking me a while ago, and because Ah San is younger than them, they all look down upon me.
"I know what you want to say! But I can only tell you that sometimes what you see is not necessarily true! Do you understand?" Looking at them with burning eyes, I solemnly commanded.
Jun Xingjian, Jiang Feng and others stared at me for a while, and then looked at each other for a while, and then they all nodded with joy on their faces.
"Now that you understand, I won't say more! No matter what happens in Xihai in the future, you must listen to your third brother. If he does anything inappropriate, you can only put forward opinions and cannot disobey? Do you understand? ?" Seeing that several people had taken my hint, I smiled and continued to give instructions.
"I understand, I understand! Since the third prince is the eldest brother's younger brother, he is our younger brother" Dai Yang spoke quickly and kept making guarantees.
With a snap, Jun Xingjian slapped him on the back of the head.
"Nonsense! The third prince is the third prince, how can I let you call me brother." Jun Xingjian cursed with a dark face.
"Hahaha! As long as you can make my navy in the West Sea look decent, it doesn't matter what Asan calls you!" I laughed.
"I understand! Brother, when will the construction of this ship start?" Jun Xingjian nodded to me with a dry smile, and Jun Xingjian couldn't wait to ask.
??It can be seen that this guy has very high expectations for the Viking warship I designed, so??The stability of the past is somewhat lost.
"These ships will be dispersed to shipyards in various places for construction. The naval forces in Sanjiangkou and Shuanghe will be responsible for part of it; the civilian shipyards in the West China Sea and South China Sea will be responsible for part of it. After the ships are built, they will be dispersed to the West Sea to assemble secretly! I have already told Ah San said that he was asked to choose a remote island to run a new navy base. All material purchases on the island must be changed hands at many levels. Daduan must not let the slightest knowledge. In the future, your mission is to stay on the island. You must be prepared to endure hardships when training navy troops." I explained with a solemn expression as I stared at the drawings in front of me.
"It's nothing to suffer a little! Brothers, we all want it! But big brother If such a good sea-going ship is built by a private shipyard, aren't you afraid of leaking secrets?" Jun Xingjian was puzzled.
"There's no way! Time is running out, and the navy's ship lines alone will never be able to build enough quantities in the short term, so just think of me as doing a good deed for the sailors in China. As long as private ship lines are willing to learn from it, they can build it in the future, hehe. ." I smiled with a strange expression.
Seeing my wretched appearance, several people in front of me were confused, but Li Jia, who had been silent all this time, started laughing.
"Your Highness has already prepared a backup plan!" She explained with a playful smile while standing next to me.
"What's the backup plan?" Jun Xingjian and others looked at me eagerly.
"Let's go! Come with me to see the good things first! These things will be placed on the warships, and I just need your suggestion You can live here for the next few days, and have a good chat with my engineers about how big those warships are. The fighting strength depends on whether you and them can communicate with each other." Facing their admiring gazes, I laughed, stepped forward, hugged a few of them, and walked out.
"Siege division?"
"Well, let's call them craftsmenthere are carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths"
""
"Don't underestimate them! In the future, our Nanle's armaments will depend on them!" With a group of extremely excited boys, I walked towards the nearby workshop in a hurry.
We have warships, catapults, gunpowder cans, and fire oil cans, but what we lack is trustworthy manpower.
At this moment, as soon as Jun Xingjian and others arrived, most of my worries disappeared. All that was left to do was to let them go to the West Sea to toss with Ah San. As for the result then, it depends on God's will.
¡°But even I didn¡¯t expect that a cross-era navy that would roam the world in the future would be born just like that on my last breath
