In this shipyard in Langya County, you can actually meet the Gongshu family, which was famous for its craftsmanship during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was also the current head of the Gongshu family. Li Yang was both surprised and happy.

Regarding Gongshu, some people later believed that Gongshu only had Luban, and then he was unknown.

In fact, this statement is wrong.

Because Lu Ban's family was originally a family of craftsmen, and his ancestors and parents were very good at carpenter work, and the things they made were extremely ingenious.

Lu Ban has been influenced by his knowledge of architecture and carpenter since he was a child, and his personal talent has led to his achievements in craftsmanship.

Since Lu Ban itself is a carpenter family, after him, Gongshu naturally inherited and carried forward the family's cause.

Therefore, since Lu Ban, the Gongshuo, has been skilled in the machinery and craftsmanship. However, Lu Ban's reputation is too big, and its descendants are hard to surpass, and it is just overwhelming the reputation of Lu Ban.

Li Yang was very curious that the Gongshu family was a family of craftsmen and craftsmen in the world, so why didn’t Jiang Zuofu invite him? After all, Jiang Zuofu has gathered all the craftsmen, and almost all the powerful craftsmen have been summoned.

Thinking of this, Li Yang turned to He Zhang and asked, "He Zhang, you know the public sending book in front of you today, right?"

Unexpectedly, He Zhang smiled and said, "Director doesn't know that I have known each other many years ago."

"Oh?" Li Yang was a little surprised.

At this time, Gongshuocai took the initiative to explain: "Returning to Zhenguo, the emperor was also serving in the Shaofu many years ago. However, His Majesty wanted to build a sea ship and go out to sea to find elixirs, so the emperor volunteered to return to his hometown to be responsible for shipbuilding."

"I see!"

When Li Yang heard this, he suddenly realized.

The Gongshuoists are indeed from the Lu family, that is, from Shandong.

However, what Li Yang did not expect was that the sea ship manufacturing industry of Qin Shihuang actually flourished because of Qin Shihuang's desire to go out to sea to find elixirs.

Of course, Li Yang also roughly understood at this time that the reason why the Qin Dynasty's sea ships were so developed may be directly related to the inseparable public transport book made by this leading sea ship.

Li Yang respected Gongshuo Cas very much, which made Gongshuo Cas feel a little relieved.

This is not because of how big Li Yang's official position is, but because of Li Yang's achievements in invention and creation, and he is the first person today. And his skills of craftsmanship are not worth mentioning when compared with Li Yang.

Think about papermaking, printing, saddle, stirrup, gunpowder, which one is not shocking the world and is unparalleled?

Therefore, in front of Li Yang, Gongshuocao did not dare to pretend at all.

Next, under the leadership of Gongshuocai, Li Yang entered the shipyard for a visit.

The shipyard occupies a huge area and is divided into two parts: indoor and outdoor. The indoor is processed as a component, while the outdoor is assembled as a whole ship.

Daqin's manufacturing industry is so developed. Even shipbuilding is operated assembled lines and is divided into different workshops. It is simply amazing.

The sea ships at this time are naturally pure wooden ships.

In addition, Gongshuoists and carpenters are also a family of people. Perhaps this is why Qin Shihuang arranged Gongshuocai as the Dushicheng of the Shipbuilding Bureau.

I saw that hundreds of carpenters in the shipyard were busy with various wooden components of the hull.

Gongshuo Ce explained on the sidelines that he was still full of confidence and pride in carpentry and shipbuilding.

When you walk out of the woodworking craftsman workshop, there is a dock in front of you. Countless craftsmen are assembling the prepared hull components into a ship.

A huge thirty-meter-long sea ship is about to be assembled and is docking at the shore of the pier.

This ship is about 100 tons.

However, after detailed understanding, Li Yang discovered that the sea boat at this time was still a flat-bottomed hard sailboat.

The biggest disadvantage of flat-bottomed hard sailboats is that flat-bottomed center of gravity is unstable in places with large waves; while hard sails are even worse in places with high waves and strong winds. Therefore, flat-bottomed hard sailboats are more suitable for rivers, but not very suitable for oceans.

As soon as Li Yang saw this flat-bottomed hard sailboat, he immediately pointed out its shortcomings, which surprised everyone.

Especially the Gongshuo Book, he was so surprised that he asked: "How come the dean knows such a sea boat so well?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "This is all told by Xu Fu."

Everyone suddenly realized.

There is no way, it is impossible to say that I traveled through time, right?

Gongshuge said: "The dean doesn't know that the wind and waves on the sea are extremely strong, and they are not comparable to those of rivers. Therefore, if the wind and waves are high and the waves are rapid, the center of gravity will be unstable."

Li Yang said: "Then have you ever thought that you can change the flat bottom to a sharp bottom?"

"Change the bottom of the ship to a sharp bottom?" Gong Shue was stunned and frowned.

Li Yang said: "That's right, if the bottom of the ship is made into a sharp bottom, there will be more underwater parts, which will increase the hull under the waterline and move the center of gravity down to the waterline. The more the center of gravity falls, the more stable the ship will naturally be, and the stronger its ability to withstand wind and waves, which is extremely suitable for marine navigation."

Hearing this, Gongshuo's eyes lit up and he was shocked: "Yes, why didn't I think I could increase the center of gravity under the water?"

Speaking of this, Gongshuoche looked at Li Yang in surprise. He had really seen Li Yang's ability now, and immediately said with admiration: "The dean is really smart, has unique skills, and is extremely wise. He can easily improve the sea ship. It is really amazing, and the subordinate is really impressed!"

Gongshuo is not flattery. He was really shocked by Li Yang's words.

I have been thinking hard about how to make the sea boat more stable in recent years, but I have never thought of a good idea. As a result... The Zhenguojun in front of me actually thought of a way to improve it just by just a glance. Why isn't this shocking?

Of course, He Zhang and others were also extremely surprised.

Although Li Yang had invented magical objects such as papermaking, printing, gunpowder, and everyone knew his talents, he did not expect that he would even have the ability to build ships. He was simply a versatile talent.

At this moment, the governor Ren Bu bowed deeply and said, "The dean's talent is really rare in the world, and it is unparalleled from ancient times to the present."

Li Yang smiled, feeling extremely modest: "Don't praise you, I'm just giving some small opinions casually, not worth mentioning."

As the current head of the Gongshu family, Gongshuo Pao, known as the world's number one skilled craftsman, heard this and felt like crying.

The problem that I can't solve for many years can only be regarded as a small opinion in others' words...

Oh my God, why is the gap between people so big?

In terms of craftsmanship, the Gongshuo Pao, who has always been arrogant, has felt for the first time what inferiority is and what it means to beat you in your professional field.

Originally in the shipbuilding industry, he regarded himself as an "expert", and immediately acted as a "student" and humbly asked for advice: "The dean is very talented, and he doesn't know what other ideas about sea boats, so I hope you can give me more advice."

He is really asking for advice humbly. If he can get more ideas and opinions on improving the sea boat, it will be a big gain.

However, he also felt that Li Yang was not a person engaged in the shipbuilding industry after all, and now he could have a sudden idea. It was an extremely unexpected idea to change the flat bottom to a pointed bottom, increase the hull below the water level line, and improve the stability of the sea ship. If you think of other ways to improve it, it would be obviously unlikely.

Li Yang said: "I do have some ideas about sea boats, such as this hard sail, which can actually be improved."

"How to improve the sail?" Gongshuo was really shocked. Why did this person really have other ideas?

Li Yang said: "There is only one support point for the hard sail, so the area of ​​the sail is limited. The large amount of wooden skeletons also limits its wind consumption. Therefore, the speed is very slow, the efficiency is low when sailing across the ocean, and it is not suitable for long-distance navigation. Moreover, the hard sail can only reach the top and the sailing force cannot be adjusted according to the situation. This is not conducive to crossing the island group. Therefore, I think it has been changed to a soft sail."

Then, Li Yang began to talk big and talked about how the soft sailboat looks.

Finally, it is concluded: "Soft sails have strong wind and support points, so they can have larger areas, and they have great advantages in speed and load. In addition, even if the soft sails on the same mast are section by section, the sail strength can be adjusted according to the situation. This benefit is one that is conducive to naval battles and avoiding reefs, and the other is that they can drive safely and slowly when encountering smaller storms."

“…………”

Gongshuocao was stunned and his mouth became "o"-shaped, and his whole body was messy!

He suddenly realized that Li Yang knew better than himself how to build a ship!
Chapter completed!
