Difficulties in the world are only for the rich.Although Daming Haiban still has a name, it has actually been relaxed a lot, but even so, it is still not an easy matter for Ningbo Mansion to build a boat.In particular, what Bofu wants to build is a ship that has never appeared in this era-a fast sailing ship. This guy is trying to build a clipper ship with a displacement of about [-] tons. The corridor attached to the tower and the poop, the two tall masts can be filled with sails, and the mast protruding from the bow can also be hung with jib sails. The long and narrow hull and the beautiful hollow bow are expected to be able to run on the sea. With a speed of more than [-] knots, it belongs to a high-speed ship like a super sports car in this year.

But even if Bofu has money, blueprints and ideas, it is still difficult to build this boat. The shipbuilders in Ningbo have never built such a streamlined boat before, and those processes are not counted by Bofu. He is proficient, so he can’t instruct those craftsmen how to make it—the demon power doesn’t play much role here, he can indeed make the wood bend or build itself, but making a sailboat model is still different from making a real boat—— The biggest reason is that Bo Fu doesn't want to use demon power. One wish in his heart is to plant the seeds of a high-speed sailing ship in the current Daming—at least in a few decades, Daming's sailing career will have a new level since the previous eunuch Sanbao. The great development after Xiyang, and this time the development is entirely out of the need for capital profits, "Maybe I can throw a dice or exert a little force at this moment."

It should be said that the most outstanding craftsmen at this time are indeed in Daming. Those shipbuilders recruited by Bofu saw the small sailboat model and those blueprints that Bofu brought out, and even their eyes were red-this is a craft of eating , Relying on this, their apprentices and grandchildren may be able to eat and drink without worrying about it.Bo Fu asked them to improve the original design. Daming's ship had a watertight compartment and a lifting stern rudder, but Bo Fu's model did not.The shipwrights redesigned the hull structure, installed watertight compartments and ribs according to their ideas, and then began construction.Bofu used lead to cast a thick keel, which made the center of gravity of the ship very stable, and Bofu let the craftsmen do all the work of cutting the ship boards and splicing the hull, and he himself soaked it every day. Hang out in restaurants and teahouses in Ningbo.

There are still things to say, Ningbo is near the sea, very close to Zhoushan, and Mount Putuo is the dojo of Avalokiteshvara, so there are naturally many kind-hearted monsters who have listened to the Dharma conference and started to practice spiritual wisdom.Although most of them belong to the genus of fish, shrimp, clam and turtle, but due to the influence of Buddhism, all of them have a good appearance when they transform into shapes.These monsters are happy to practice in the world of mortals, and Bofu has heard a lot of stories about the so-called snail girl here.In fact, he really saw a few monsters or monsters' young wives. Even among the shipwrights, he also saw a few monster shipwrights who sold their labor—these guys restrained their evil energy perfectly. , in fact, what they have cultivated is originally biased towards the Buddhist lineage, and there is no evil spirit in the first place.These monsters are also enjoying themselves, "Could it be that this is the origin of the mixing of people and monsters in the future?" Bo Fu looked at the monster shopkeeper in front of him who was settling accounts at the counter. Year.

Of course, there are monsters in the shape of sharks and whales. These monsters stir up troubles in the sea, and sometimes show their monster bodies, tricking the fishermen to set up their silver shrines and eat the offerings.As for the most vicious of them, it is to stir up the big wolf, turn over the fisherman or the merchant ship, and eat the person who fell into the water on the ship-but most of these monsters dare not do this in the shallow water near the sea, otherwise they will naturally There will be practitioners who will come to get merit.Bo Fu also saved a few monsters of this kind, "It's just that those bald donkeys are not pleasing to the eye, but nothing else." As a result, all the delicious ones were sacrificed to Bofu's five internal organs temple, and those that didn't look delicious were directly thrown into the deep sea by Bofu.

On this day, Bofu was having a drink in a restaurant along the street, when a shipbuilding craftsman ran over quickly, "Master! Master! The mast is broken!" But there was something wrong with the tall mast in the design.This mast was originally made using the assembly method-it is really not easy to use a piece of wood for such a straight mast with a length of more than 30 meters, especially in this day and age, the best shipbuilding wood is as early as several years ago. Ten years ago, it was transferred to the north, and all of them were used in the treasure ships of the Sanbao eunuchs. In the past ten years, the imperial sea ban has not been directly abolished, and the wood used to build large ships has not been prepared at all.

To say that there are always skilled craftsmen, they just figured out how to use sections of wood with tenons and rivets to assemble a long mast-this is also a common method for making masts in the future.And everything went well after the first and second masts were installed on the ship, but something went wrong when installing the crossbar-one mast broke.Fortunately, the deck has not been laid, otherwise, in order to deal with this mast that directly penetrates the two decks in the design and reaches the keel, major surgery must be done.Bo Fu looked at the scene, "I don't want to do anything! The gourd was overthrown and the oil was spilled! Just get out the steelmaking blast furnace and the plate rolling machine!"

The big project started, this little boat changed the history of the whole world

Three months later, on a tall earthen bun, a man with a face covered in black and gray pulled a hand brake, and a water-powered mechanism lifted a cauldron and poured out a bright red "red" molten steel.The molten steel is poured into a mold on the ground, and then the rollers under the mold start to roll, and the hydraulically driven rollers blast the molten steel that has begun to solidify into a steel plate.Then the next process is also driven by water power. The still soft steel plate is rolled into a hollow pipe. The sound of the craftsmen on one side swallowing their saliva is the roar caused by the splashing of molten steel and the rumble of rolling steel plate. Can't hold it down either.As for the fact that Bofu is currently collecting money—he sold the technology and the design of the machine to a local shipbuilder—this blast furnace is a small blast furnace with a daily output of several tons, which is worthless in future generations. ; and that rolling machine can roll a steel plate with a width of more than one meter, and it can't roll out any thick steel plate or very thin steel plate; and the machine for rolling steel plate can roll out a few centimeters to A steel pipe with a diameter of about thirty centimeters.These can already be regarded as artifacts in this world-only among mortals but in the supernatural world, any super-thick or ultra-thin, ultra-long or ultra-short steel pipes can be made casually-at least until Dracula It is possible to make a super monster [

Using steel pipes and wood, these craftsmen once again put together two new masts, which are lighter and stronger than the original ones - thanks to Bo Fu's demonic power, this guy originally planned to directly make the masts into hollow steel pipes after going to sea of.And at this time, the Daming Ministry of Industry also approached Bo Fu and the businessman, and directly took away the blast furnace and the machine—just gave the businessman a little money. Everyone knows that this can be used to make artillery, but the businessman handed it over. They didn't take away the blueprints in

Half a year later, the long and narrow sailboat, about 30 meters in length and five meters in width, went into the sea. The ship's sides were quite high, about three meters above the water surface, and the sails were hung on the tall masts. Those sailors Running back and forth to pack up the rigging - by the way, none of these sailors are human beings, all of them are sea monsters who were stunned by Bo Fu and directly tied up and thrown on the ship, and then restrained with the forbidden method, although these guys It was Bofu who tied them violently, but he didn't have much resentment - firstly, he didn't dare, and secondly, Bofu helped a few of them who were relatively inhumane to "reshape" them, so that they at least looked looks like a normal human

In the amazed eyes of those sea merchants in Ningbo Mansion, this strange sailboat left the port with a very flexible and fast movement, and Bo Fu also saw the appearance of those sea merchants pouring into the shipbuilder's house

The number of monster sailors tied to the sailboat is not many, that is, fifteen, and five people are enough to control the sailboat——Bofu also used demon magic to transform the boat when he went to a place far from the shore (To be continued.)
