Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 499 Wisdom
Patriarch Yang looked at Hong Lianshuo with a smile and said, "That's five or six craftsmen, and all the men in our village joined the battle." Then he said, "Which of the young and old men in this village can't do carpentry work! If the carpenter is good at fine work, he can do fine work. If he is not very good at it, he should be able to saw wood and boards, which will greatly speed up the speed. If each part is made according to the standard, it will be much easier to assemble. .”

"Assembly line." Hong Lianshuo looked at him in surprise and said.

She hasn't said anything specifically?It has already been implemented here.

"It's not that I want to get the boat ready as soon as possible, so I just think of a way!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile on his face.

"Have you tried this sharp-bottomed boat? Is it stable? How is the balance? How is the effect? ​​Is it leaking? Is it easy to control." Hong Lianshuo asked a series of questions without stammering.

"Try it, let's go out with it now." Patriarch Yang looked at her with quiet eyes and said, "We need to put some stones at the bottom of this boat to keep the hull stable."

"Ballast stone!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him in shock and said.

The stone used to stabilize the center of gravity when the ship is empty. When the ship is empty, the overall center of gravity of the ship is above the water surface, and it is easy to capsize. For this reason, ballast stones are provided when sailing empty to avoid capsizing.

Patriarch Yang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "That's right! The ballast stone."

"How did you think of it?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him curiously and asked.

"Ever since you mentioned this boat with a sharp bottom, I've been thinking about how to make it stable without capsizing." Patriarch Yang frowned and looked at her and said, "It's the same model, the flat bottom won't capsize, and the sharp bottom won't capsize." The bottom turned over directly. Later, I made a lot of models. No matter how I tried it, it turned over to varying degrees. I really wanted to hold it with my hand until it became stable. I also remembered that it was a flat-bottomed boat, and everyone was on one side. If it sinks, it will still turn over. The number of people on both sides is the same to be safe. This gave me some ideas, and then I put pebbles."

"Hehe..." Hong Lianshuo laughed softly when he heard the words, and said with a thumbs up, "You are awesome."

"This is not forced." Patriarch Yang said modestly.

Hong Lianshuo really didn't expect to do it so quickly. Before they had time to say something, they used their brains to find a solution.

"How about this boat?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile on his black eyes and asked.

Mentioning Chuan Yang patriarch's brows and eyes are full of satisfaction, "Good! The load is much more than our small wooden boat. In the past, the boats of this family have basically been dispatched when going to sea, but now two or three are enough." Then he said, "And the sails are tall, and the speed of the boat is fast!"

"Then how about the wind!" Hong Lianshuo asked worriedly.

Relying on wind power is not good at this point. You have to wait for the wind and see the direction of the wind. It is not as good as mechanical power, which is not restrained.

"Then we have to paddle manually." Patriarch Yang said with a chuckle, "But don't be afraid, we have a lot of people, and we learned to paddle before the paddle is high, and we can't lose the ability to eat."

Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo looked at him with warm eyes like jade and said, "The boat is big, paddling must be hard work!"

"It's okay, I don't feel anything, it's very smooth." Patriarch Yang said simply and relaxedly, looked at her excitedly and said, "Would you like to go up and have a look."

"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo readily agreed, and followed him up the ladder to board the boat.

The ship is obviously much wider, and the load capacity of the upper and lower floors has been greatly increased.

"The separated area is larger than expected." Patriarch Yang introduced enthusiastically, "One boat, three to forty people."

Patriarch Yang took Hong Lianshuo to visit one by one, and his face was full of joy, "New things are good!"

"To tell the truth." Hong Lianshuo said with a smile when he heard the words.

"Madam Hong, there is still plenty of wood! Shall we continue to build ships?" Patriarch Yang said standing on the deck and looking at her bathed in sunlight.

"Create!" Hong Lianshuo tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said, "Now these are not enough, Han Xin will order troops, the more the better."

"Okay, I will build as many as you say." Patriarch Yang said confidently now.

"Is a boat bigger than this okay?" Hong Lianshuo said, patting the side of the boat and looking at him.

"This..." Patriarch Yang swallowed his saliva, "I still have to make a model first, try it out, you can't simply enlarge it."

For his rigor, Hong Lianshuo agreed very much, "Listen to you."

"Let's go down!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him softly and said.

"Okay!" Patriarch Yang replied with a smile.

&*&
Hong Lianshuo followed the leader of the Yang family into the cave. At this time, Yang Fan and the others were working hard!
Seeing Hong Lianshuo coming, they all put down the carpentry tools in their hands, bowed their hands and said, "Madam Hong."

"You are busy, leave me alone." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with crooked eyebrows and said, looking at Haisheng, "Your leg."

"It's all good, walking is not a problem at all." Haisheng bent down and rolled up his trouser legs, "Look! There is more meat, it is no longer a firewood stick, it looks scary."

"That's good." Hong Lianshuo squatted down.

"Hey! Why did you squat down?" Haisheng was so frightened that he quickly squatted down and said.

"Check it out!" Hong Lianshuo turned slightly to look at him and said.

"Come on, come on, you can check even if you sit down." Yang Fan wittily carried the two ponies over and said.

"Sit!" Hong Lianshuo looked at Haisheng and said.

The two sat down, Haisheng rolled up his trouser legs, Hong Lianshuo checked his legs, "Does it still hurt? Do you feel sore or heavy?"

"No." Haisheng said immediately after hearing the words.

"Have you ever tried heavy work?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with concern and asked, "Carrying water?"

"No, my mother won't let it go." Haisheng said carelessly, "You mean I can carry water and chop wood."

"You can try it in half a year." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with bright black eyes and said conservatively.

"Okay!" Haisheng responded briskly, "If I can carry water, my mother won't be so tired."

Hong Lianshuo asked them about their studies, saw that there was still a lot of wood, and left.

"Let's talk about it at lunch, so we won't delay your work." Hong Lianshuo looked at them tenderly and said, "Keep working, don't move, don't move."

"Then we won't see you off." Yang Fan and the others said in unison.

&*&
Hong Lianshuo stood on the beach, the golden sun shone on the beach, and the soft sand under his feet was warm.

"Looked around, how about it?" Hong Lianshuo simply sat on the beach and looked at Han Qinhu and said, "This place is not good, too many ships can't be docked."

"If you want a seaport and a wharf, you still need a bay." Hong Lianshuo pursed his lips and said.

"Why?" Han Qinhu said in surprise, he is really not familiar with this, especially the sea.
