I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 740

The advantage of this is that a shipyard does not need to keep an eye on a ship from the end to the end.

They only need to do a good job of fitting a certain part of the hull.

Finally, all the parts can be assembled in a shipyard.

One benefit of doing this is.

It is not necessary for everyone to know everything about the craft of building this boat.

They just need to perfect their part.

In this way, the shortage of shipbuilding talents and even the number of shipyards has been greatly alleviated.

Large shipyards are responsible for large parts, and small shipyards are responsible for small ones. They all make the best use of each other without delaying each other.

Only through division of labor and cooperation can the shipbuilding industry of Ming Dynasty be pushed to a whole new level.

Of course, this idea was not invented by Li Tian.

In the later generations, almost all small and medium-sized factories faced the same situation. Basically, more than half of the parts needed to be purchased from other places.

From the production of raw materials to the delivery of the final product, a product has to deal with at least one or two hundred factories in the middle.

This is the most common situation in later generations.

But today's Daming is still adhering to the concept that no matter what it is, it will be completed by a single factory from the beginning to the end.

In their view, the quality of the product can only be guaranteed if it comes from one place.

As everyone knows, this is an extreme waste of top talents.

Take the dozens of craftsmen who made the experimental ship this time as an example.

Each of them alone is a famous shipbuilder, and so many of them gather together, they are all working on one thing.

Everyone was involved from the beginning to the end, which led to a problem, each of them understood how the ship was rebuilt.

But no one stands out in particular.

According to Li Tian's method, more than 20 individual elites were separated.

Let each of them focus on a certain part of the hull.

With their strength, within a very short period of time, they can polish the part they have mastered to a flawless level.

Finally, the hull is assembled, and all parts are perfect, so the built ship is naturally perfect.

If he were to rush forward and mess around all at once, the final effect would definitely not be so good.

This is like a bucket, and each of them is a piece of it. When the level is about the same, the water that the bucket can hold is limited.

But if each of them stands out a lot in their respective fields, and then gather them together again to create a new bucket, the upper limit will inevitably far exceed the original one.

At the beginning, Sophia didn't understand why Li Tian insisted on designing this way, and she dragged off what could have been completed in three days until six or seven days later.

But when Li Tian explained the benefits of doing this to her in detail, Sophia seemed to have suddenly opened up a new world, and she almost worshiped Li Tian as the god of craftsmen.

Looking at the finished product of the final design, even Sophia, who was already exhausted, couldn't help but excitedly said,
"Your Majesty, the ship we designed will definitely shock the whole world. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to participate in the design of such a great ship."

Li Tian smiled slightly,
"Sophia, you don't have to be so humble. If you didn't provide me with so much experience in Western shipbuilding, even if I have three or five years, I may not be able to design such a perfect ship.

At least half of this credit is yours! "

This wave of business exchanges between the two has greatly satisfied their hearts.

The design drawing is finally finished, and then the shipbuilding industry will begin in full swing.

But there is another problem, that is, the shipbuilding concept of Daming is still used on the upper part of the hull, and those craftsmen of Ming Dynasty only need to study carefully for a period of time, and they can almost understand it.

However, the bottom structure of the ship is the structure of the western flat-bottomed boat.

There are very few people in Ming Dynasty who can build such a boat bottom. If they want to get started, it will take at least half a year of exploration.

It is impossible for Li Tian to wait so long.

Originally, Sophia was the best person to oversee the manufacture of the bottom part of the boat.

However, after a few days of understanding, Li Tian has discovered many advantages in Sophia. It would be a waste of talent to throw a talent like her who is proficient in various western disciplines into a shipyard that doesn't shit up.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know how to make a decision, Sophia made him a proposal that he couldn't refuse.

She said that among her crew, there are a small number of three or four crew members who are not weaker than her in shipbuilding.

And in a seaport in the south, there are still three long-distance ships that she brought from the Byzantine Empire moored, which can represent the top craftsmanship in the West in this era.

If her crew can be found and those three ships are used as references, I believe that Da Ming should be able to master this new technology as quickly as possible.

After Li Tian heard her proposal, he almost jumped up with joy, held Sophia's smiling face, and gave it a poke.

"Sophia, you are really my lucky star. It seems that you just came here. Don't worry, I will send people to Fujian immediately. No matter what the price is, I will definitely help you get your crew and ship back. "

Sophia was kissed in a daze, and her whole face flushed with shame.

Although she is a European girl, even though she is a princess, this is the first time she has encountered such a thing as being kissed on the cheek by an outsider.

This couldn't help but make her heart surge for the first time, and an uncontrollable emotion began to pile up in her heart.

In people's impression, western girls should be very open and even bold.

But there is a knowledge blind spot in it.

Perhaps, those uncivilized areas, or people who have inherited the bohemian temperament of the Roman Empire, are indeed as open as you think.

But since the Western Renaissance era has gradually kicked off.

There have also been similar theories to Eastern Confucianism in the West.

Girls who came from aristocratic families and came from the royal family pay more and more attention to their appearance, and regard a lady as their standard of conduct everywhere.

The so-called proper nouns such as gentleman and lady became popular at this time.

Although Sophia was very rebellious since she was a child, a girl actually hangs out with sailors and traders all day long.
But she is still very ladylike in her bones, and she values ​​chastity very much.

Li Tian's bold move, in the eyes of later generations of European girls, is nothing, but to Sofia now, it is Chi Guoguo's act of expressing love.
