After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Li Chenan didn't know what happened behind him.

Under the protection of Amu and four others, he was heading towards the lake.

Zou Huanzhang's family, who were following Li Chenan step by step, were actually frightened to death at this time.

Zou Huanzhang is already in his prime.

His eldest son Zou Jiahui is over forty years old.

Even his eldest grandson Zou Zhipeng is 25 years old.

Zou Zhipeng walked cautiously and glanced at Li Chenan's back from time to time, feeling quite complicated.

This complexity is not what happened just now.

As the eldest grandson of the Zou family in Linshui City, Zou Zhipeng has profound attainments in shipbuilding.

Not only did he inherit the Zou family's shipbuilding skills, he also made many innovations in the original skills.Regarding shipbuilding, even in the Zou family, even grandfather Zou Huanzhang often has to listen to his opinions.

In the Ningguo shipbuilding industry, he is truly an authority with real talent and knowledge.

For a research craftsman like him, he is extremely proud of his craftsmanship, so arrogant that he does not allow anyone to question it!
He was also extremely obsessed with shipbuilding, so obsessed that he didn't care about anything else.

Even the life or death of the regent only worried him for a moment. Now that the regent had saved the day, all he wanted to do was build the ship.

As the most famous shipbuilding family in Ningguo, their ideal is to build the best warships and restore the Zou Mansion to its former glory.

The regent came to visit Grandpa in Water City.

After grandpa came back, he smiled happily and talked about the scene when he met the regent.

Grandpa said that the Zou family finally had a good opportunity. The regent wanted to restart the Linshui Port dock and build new warships to revive the navy...

This is of course a first-class event for the Zou Mansion!
So much so that everyone in the Zou family stayed up almost all night last night.

Of course Zou Zhipeng was also very excited.

This is his chance to show off his skills!
The new warships of the Zou Mansion were designed by him in the early years. Unfortunately, the Ji Tai administration did not pay attention to the navy at all.

Ningguo's national strength has become weaker and weaker in recent years, and the national treasury has no extra money to support the construction of new warships.

He was extremely disappointed.

I thought that those hard-working drawings could only be sealed away, but unexpectedly, I now have new hope.

Touching the drawings of the new warships in his arms, Zou Zhipeng swallowed, hoping that the Shixian Regent could understand his explanation of these drawings...

I guess he wouldn't understand.

After all, shipbuilding and writing poetry and articles are two completely unrelated things.

He only hoped that the regent would not pretend to understand, stop giving random orders, and leave the professional shipbuilding work to the professional people of the Zou family.

In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort!
He was a little worried at first, but now Zou Zhipeng feels a little more relieved.

After all, the Prince Regent was able to brush off such a big thing that just happened, and quickly put it down and go to the dock. This shows that in the Prince Regent's heart, he has not let go of this serious matter.

This also shows that he attaches great importance to shipbuilding, and perhaps he will not point fingers randomly.

Obviously Zou Zhipeng is overthinking.

At this moment, Li Chenan, who was walking silently all the way, was searching for his memory.

He had no idea how the dock should be built.

He also didn't understand how to build a warship.

But I have seen it before in my previous life.

It's just that those things from the previous life are obviously not suitable for this world.

The previous life was a society with highly developed industries, but here... it was still an extremely backward era.

Large machinery certainly cannot be built.

Then we can only learn from it.After all, it is a civilization that is thousands of years ahead of the world, and it always has merit.

I can make some suggestions, which may enlighten the thinking of craftsmen like the Zou family, and may promote faster progress in the shipbuilding industry.

Boat building is a big deal!
In such a world, water transportation is the most efficient and cheapest mode of transportation.

In addition, the warships that are far ahead of other countries can, on the one hand, protect future large-scale shipping, and on the other hand... they can not only defend the homeland, but also bring firepower suppression to enemy countries that can reach them if there is a foreign war.

As for the start of the great voyage...

This was a bit far away. Li Chenan just thought about it and didn't think much about it.

As they walked along like this, Li Chenan's sight came to the dilapidated dock next to the lake.

This dock is huge.

The shore is dotted with old sail tents, carpentry workshops, and piles of almost rotten wood, hemp rope, etc.

A rather wide ditch leads out from the lake, and there are many rickety wooden shelves on both sides of the ditch.

Just at the other end of the ditch, there is a long row of almost collapsed buildings covered with moss. They must have been the residences or warehouses of craftsmen.

Standing on a high ground near the shipyard, Li Chenan looked carefully, searched in his mind, and remembered the brief history of ship development in his previous life that he had seen.

I don’t remember it very clearly, I still have some vague impressions.

I still remember that it was roughly during the Warring States Period. Most of the ships at that time were wooden ships, including flat-bottomed boats, sailboats, rafts, etc.

The ships of the era I live in now seem to be similar to those of the Warring States Period.

In the Han Dynasty, there were warships.

Because of this thing, the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty's navy was greatly improved, becoming the number one in the world at that time!

I remember that it was the extremely famous Battle of Chibi in the 13th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Both sides invested thousands of warships, which is enough to illustrate the strength of the navy and the huge scale of the water battle at that time.

But the warship needs improvement.

Because it is covered with rawhide, it has a certain degree of defense, but now that I have made steel, I may be able to cover the hull with steel, so that the defense will be stronger.

In addition, the warship's attack method still uses the crossbow window spear hole, which is far from comparable to the naval gun in terms of lethality.

Although it is not known how well the Ministry of Industry has researched the red cannon, it is not too difficult to create a red cannon as long as a few key problems are solved.

For example, extracting extremely pure molten iron.

For example, casting a better iron mold than a clay mold.

For example, the depiction of rifling and so on.

Since he wanted to build the most powerful navy in the world, Li Chenan decided to study the construction of a three-masted gunboat while building a stern battleship.

Because power cannot be solved by itself, and we can still only rely on wind power and manpower.

The three-masted gunboat of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful. It was equipped with eight red cannons and forty Frankie cannons!
The ship is five stories high and can accommodate more than [-] sailors.

Not only can it travel on the Yangtze River, it can still do the job even in the sea.

Of course, it will take a long time to build a three-masted gunboat. Firstly, the span of the shipbuilding process is too large, and secondly, the cannon needs to be verified for a long time before entering actual combat.

So... we have to do it both ways!

While researching the three-masted gunboat, build a simpler stern battleship.

Thinking like this, Li Chenan turned to look at Zou Zhipeng:

"Your grandpa said that you will be in charge of building the ship... That's good. Come on, come on, I'll tell you how to build the warship I want!"

Zou Zhipeng looked at Li Chenan dumbfounded.

I thought, shouldn't I tell you how to build this boat? (End of chapter)
