Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

But this thing is too advanced for Datang, it is unnecessary.It is already very powerful to have a weight accurate to gram. As for the slight gap caused by air corrosion and other reasons in daily life, it is inevitable.

Hearing the approximate conversion given by Li Ke, Li Shimin roughly converted it, and was a little stunned. A ship can carry 35 shi of goods? !A set of Mingguang armor is about 3 catties. Doesn’t it mean that such a sea-going ship can carry more than [-] sets of Mingguang armor? !

The amount of material delivered far exceeded Li Shimin's imagination, which is much better than land transportation.

"Can the inland river in Datang be opened at present?" Li Ke asked.

"Empty loads are fine, but full loads are not. The sharp-bottomed sailboat is a sea-going ship. Its waterline is deeper and the inland river cannot support it. However, if the traditional flat-bottomed ship is adopted, it can be transported in the canal. The paddle wheel and the spinnaker are more powerful." Yu Wenlin said with a respectful expression.

(The above canals are feasible and the records of ten thousand stone boats are from Tang Dynasty and Shi Huilin's "All Sutras and Meanings": The residents live in the middle of life, send to death, marry and marry, open alleys as gardens, and drive hundreds of workers. It reaches Jiangxi in the south and Huainan in the north. Once the exchanges, the benefits are huge, and this is nothing less than a million years.)

"We are now talking about sea-going ships. It is now early February, and before mid-July this year, that is five and a half months, and we will hand over all the official Datang shipyards in Bohai Sea to you, and mobilize the Yuelai Trading Company Most of the power is for you to use, and you can hire as many people as you want nearby, regardless of the cost, how many ships of this size can you build?" Li Ke asked directly without talking nonsense.

The reason why it is mid-July is because the battle of Qadishia between Arabia and Sasanian Persia will start for about 7 months from July to October, and the journey will be calculated according to one and a half months. Shanbosi must be handing over to the other party.

Of course, the handover personnel can leave earlier, or even start now.

But it is possible to allow enough time.

"If enough ships are mobilized to use the canal to transport timber from various areas of Datang to Bohai Sea, it will take five and a half months. Counting the current two ships, I can build up to four more, because the shipyard in Bohai Sea has only three docks. If the existing dock is to be expanded, at most one can only be built at the same time, no matter how many people there are, it is useless, but if the time is not tight, the follow-up dock can be expanded, and the construction of a dock will take about one to one and a half months."

"Does Your Highness need to go overseas?" Yu Wenlin looked at Li Ke and asked.

"Yes! Yuanyang, take the Guangzhou Tonghaiyi Road (the name of the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty) and go directly to Persia. I can provide a complete chart, including related tools that can be positioned at night and during the day." Li Ke said directly. .

Yu Wenlin's eyes lit up instantly, and he directly raised his head and said, "Your Highness, I strongly request to follow the fleet."

"No, you still have a great role to play." Li Ke shook his head and refused directly. Yu Wenlin is different from people like Lu Daqiang. Lu Daqiang and other craftsmen can become master craftsmen entirely because of their use. Time piled up, talent may be there, but not much.

But Yuwenlin is different. Yuwenlin was met by Li Ke. He was a real scientist in ancient times. He is very similar to Li Ke's postgraduate tutor in the university, and Li Ke's tutor is the kind of real pillar of the country. kind of.

Or people say that for most ordinary people, the mentors you meet in college may be the pinnacle of your life.If you don't understand, you have no idea how awesome your mentor is.

Li Ke didn't know it when he was studying. He was also a person who gradually realized how awesome his mentor was after graduating from graduate school.

And Yu Wenlin's temperament is very similar to his teacher. For example, this straightforward and simple communication method is not because he does not understand, but because he is too lazy to learn, because in his opinion, this straightforward communication method is the most efficient. The communication method can avoid wasting his time.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already found a few good seedlings, and most of what I have learned can be left to him. Even if I die, Your Highness, you will not be unavailable, but I will run with the fleet If I take a trip, I may be able to discover the advantages and disadvantages of the ship, and I will not delay my study and research on the ship. In addition, we are a fleet of ships, and each ship has small boats and watertight cabins, so we will not die." Yu Wenlin arched his hands.

Li Ke was completely speechless, why did you run away as a researcher?

"In this way, I don't think you need to go to Persia. It may take half a year to go back and forth, which is too long. If you want to go to the ocean, you can test it in the Bohai Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea and other sea areas. If you find any problems All can be adjusted on shore, which is more efficient.”

"And it doesn't mean that the construction of these ships will stop. After the construction of these ships, the construction work of the entire fleet will not stop, but will increase!"

"There is no limit to your research funding." Li Ke hurriedly drew cakes for Yu Wenlin.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Yu Wenlin thought for a while, he didn't have to go to Persia, he just wanted to study how to build a ship.

"Then it's settled. If you can maintain six sea-going ships, you can consider the ratio of the fleet. For example, those that specialize in the placement of personnel and those that specialize in transporting goods can make detailed arrangements." Li Ke opened the mouth.

"I understand that it is very difficult to arrange the counterweight and storage space of a sharp-bottomed ship. I will consider it even if you don't tell me." Yu Wenlin nodded and agreed, "However, Your Highness, I have another idea. If it is for the ocean, I personally suggest that the riveting technology should also be applied. In this way, the strength of the bottom keel can be strengthened, and it will be more handy in resisting storms.”

"Is it possible? If the iron sheet is passed on, will it affect the progress of the shipbuilding? Moreover, if the iron sheet is covered, the counterweight will have to be recalculated?" Li Ke hesitated.

"Your Highness, this is something you shouldn't consider. This is what I should consider. I can guarantee that it will be completed! The progress will definitely not be affected, but I need your Highness to provide me with materials and related technologies! Of course, I am also ready Good money!" Yu Wenlin said that he was rude.

Li Ke: "..."

Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say.Riveting technology is actually not difficult. Of course, it is definitely not as efficient as later generations, but for Datang, this thing is already very advanced. After all, modern aircraft carriers more than 1000 years later still have riveting parts on them.

As for Qian Li Ke doesn't care at all, he is not short of money!
