Chapter 237 When technology really shows off(1/3)

 The fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean at that time was composed of ships of various types and sizes.

There are more than sixty ships, large and small.

The largest ship among them was 148 meters long, 60 meters wide, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. It was the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time. The ship had four floors, and its nine masts could carry twelve sails. The anchor weighed several kilograms.

It takes two to three hundred people to set sail.

Such a huge fleet was definitely unique in the world at that time.

It is said that the scale is a hundred times that of Columbus's fleet!

Moreover, Columbus's voyage to the West was even later than that of Zheng He and others, eighty or ninety years later.

At that time, our shipbuilding technology and technical level were definitely top-notch in the world.

From this we can see how powerful the manufacturing capabilities were at that time, which was absolutely astonishing.

The construction and design of these ships have a very high level of craftsmanship and are not ordinary structures. The design is very avant-garde, with more than ten cabin areas, and the ships will not sink easily.

In order to prevent safety problems caused by water leakage, the treasure ship used bulkheads to divide the bottom cabin into cabin areas during the design. There are at least a dozen similar cabins. In addition, in order to improve the collision resistance of the ship, the treasure ship also

Flat plates are used for bulkheads and hull plating.

The iron and hook nails are connected, and the hull plate is partially made of three layers of thin plates that are superimposed and are very strong. Since the cabins are strictly separated by bulkheads, during ocean voyages, even if one or two cabin areas are damaged and flooded

, the water will not flow to other cabin areas.

At that time, Zheng He's fleet to the Western Ocean brought a lot of things and shipped a lot of treasures, including gifts given by Emperor Yongle to various Western countries, as well as items used for trading.

If it was the return journey, the ship would also contain tributes and treasures from Western countries to the emperor, as well as items exchanged through trade, etc.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty fleet at that time was also called a treasure ship.

The meaning is obvious, it is a treasure-carrying ship.

As for why there was a Ming Dynasty treasure ship sunk here, it is temporarily unknown, and we don’t know what happened at that time.

On the seabed dozens of meters deep.

Fang Hao looked at the sunken ship and looked at it carefully.

This sunken ship is still well preserved, and these wooden structures are still in decay after hundreds of years.

Wood is still strong and durable.

This surprised Fang Hao.

However, there is also a saying, if it is dry for a thousand years, if it is wet for ten thousand years, it will only take half a year if it is neither dry nor wet.

The wood on the sunken ship has been immersed in the sea water. It is in the water environment and will be preserved for a longer time.

Due to time constraints, Fang Hao did not enter the interior of the sunken ship to check. He is still checking the external situation.

The size of this sunken ship should be about a thousand tons of displacement.

Belonging to one of the fleet.

Because the fleet is divided according to its purpose, it can be divided into several types of warships such as treasure ships, grain ships, water ships, horse ships and sailing ships.

This ship now is a treasure ship.

A treasure ship means there are a lot of things inside.

Things like silk, porcelain, etc.

These were all brought by Zheng He during his voyages to the West.

If the predictions are correct, the things inside this sunken ship should be porcelain and silk.

After checking the situation outside the hull, Fang Hao was ready to go back.

After all, his breath-holding time is limited, and he can't stay in the water forever.

He has practiced Kumbhaka Kung Fu, and his longest breath-holding time is now less than an hour. And because he is in a place with a depth of tens of meters, the breath-holding time is even shorter, probably only more than half an hour.<

/p>

Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Hao was also ready to head upstream.

……

"It's over... It's been so long, and I don't know what Brother Hao's situation is now."

I was not wearing any diving equipment, and after such a long time, something must have happened.

If a normal person can hold his breath underwater for three to five minutes, that is already very impressive.

Even if Fang Hao is different from ordinary people and can hold his breath underwater for ten minutes, that's a long time.

I'm afraid the preparation time has already been more than twenty minutes.

After such a long time, there is still no movement at all. Obviously... the probability of something happening is very high.

"I'm afraid... the situation is far worse." The captain's face also looked a little solemn.

Judging from his experience, Fang Hao may have had an accident.

He has never seen a person stay underwater for such a long time.

And I don’t even have any equipment on me, so I just dive like this.

No one thinks that we can come back safely.

"Anchor, something really happened..."

"I calculated the time and found that twenty-eight minutes and forty-three seconds have passed since the anchor jumped into the sea. Such a long time has passed. I guess...the anchor is finished."

Some water friends even timed it to calculate the time when Fang Hao jumped into the sea.

It has been almost half an hour now.

After being underwater for half an hour, there is no oxygen equipment... How can a normal person hold his breath for such a long time?

It’s impossible even if you think about it.

"It's over, it's over. I won't watch the anchor's live broadcast in the future."

"The anchor couldn't have been eaten by a shark, right?"

"Everyone, please remember today's time."

"Aww, anchor... stop making trouble, stop joking."

"Anchor come back soon, please come back soon."

At this moment, many water friends in the live broadcast room began to panic.

They were worried about Fang Hao's safety, and they suddenly became anxious. They were really afraid of hearing the news about Fang Hao's accident.

"Why can't the anchor think about it..."

"Did we tease you too harshly before? The anchor's head didn't turn around for a while."

"Woo hoo, anchor, please come back. We won't tease you so harshly in the future."

"Yes, let's stop teasing you less from now on."

"..."

Most of the water friends now want Fang Hao to come back and appear on the sea.

And such a scene also worried the staff of Huya platform half to death. Fang Hao can be said to be their God of Wealth and the mainstay. The reason why their platform can rise is largely because of Fang Hao. If something happens to Fang Hao...

The consequences would be disastrous.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It is very likely that their Huya platform will lose the identity of this brother and then be overturned by the sharks.

As a friend of Fang Hao, Su Baige was also very worried about his safety. She was very nervous and her eyes were full of worry.

Only a very small number of people who hoped that something would happen to Fang Hao are now secretly happy.

"Hey, it seems that this person will never come back. God helps us. Finally, we no longer have to envy Rabbit for having such a talent."

"Otherwise, I would be really jealous watching that person catch all kinds of good things."

"Since we can't have it, let's destroy it!"

This is what those people lurking in Fang Hao’s live broadcast room think.

They know that they cannot have Fang Hao, so they hope that something will happen to Fang Hao. In this way, no one else will, and there will be no psychological imbalance or jealousy.

……

Wow.

Just when everyone thought that Fang Hao had an accident and could not come back, suddenly a burst of water appeared, and then a figure emerged from the water.

Everyone took a closer look.

Hey, who else can I use if this person is not Fang Hao?

After a brief period of confusion, a burst of surprise suddenly came to my mind.
To be continued...
