Daming One Piece

Chapter 19 Apprenticeship (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
When I turned my head to look, I saw two middle-aged men walking into the yard from the outside.

The leader was a burly middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man beside him was a little thinner.

Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

Oh, yes, while fishing, it seemed he had said to himself that he could build a boat just for hauling nets.

When seeing these two people, a smile appeared on Shi Yiwen's face.

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Li, you are here."

Yan Ruyu smiled.

"Please come here, I want you to see something."

As soon as she spoke, she unfolded the drawing, and the eyes of the two middle-aged men suddenly lit up, and the thin one's expression was astonished and ecstatic.

His eyes widened in shock, and he swallowed excitedly. The middle-aged man asked:

"Miss, this, this is..."

"Sloop."

Shi Yiwen smiled and said,

"Although these drawings are not a complete set of drawings, basically the dimensions and proportions of the main components such as the keel and ribs have been written out. You just need to enlarge them according to the drawings. Although the ship shape is somewhat different from Daming's ship, some things are all in one. It works."

In fact, the specific process of shipbuilding, even Shi Yiwen’s hard drive contains hundreds of books on shipbuilding from Britain, France and the United States in the early 19th century, but the theory is always a theory, and he still doesn’t know how to build a ship. Blueprints can completely create a ship.

In fact, Shi Yiwen's thinking about the ship was too complicated, not to mention that there were blueprints. In this era, shipbuilding did not have blueprints at all. Shipbuilding was based on experience. Even until the Napoleon era, shipbuilding still relied on experience.Not counting those father-son shipbuilders, but the Russian Cossacks, they are a group of good shipbuilders. When they encounter a place where the waterway is impassable, they abandon the boat and go ashore.Rebuilding ships and continuing to sail where there are waterways is even a magic weapon for them to conquer Siberia.When they arrived in the Far East, the Cossacks built ships by the sea, crossed the sea to Kuye Island, and then sailed all the way to Kamchatka and Alaska.

And just a few decades ago, a Spanish sailor named William Adam, after living in Japan, built the first Western-style sailing ship for Japan based on his experience.The 120-ton galleon also became the first Japanese sailing ship to cross the Pacific Ocean.

"Uncle Fang, do you think it's okay?"

Yan Ruyu asked with a smile.

"Can we build this ship?"

"Master Shi, how long is this boat?"

"About eight feet!"

A 24-meter-long boat is about eight feet up and down.

The middle-aged man froze for a moment and murmured.

"Eight feet...eight feet, full eight feet..."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man who was also muttering to himself burst into tears.

"Father, have you seen it? We, our family is going to build a big boat eight feet long!"

"Brother Fang, did you hear that, it's eight feet, a big boat of eight feet!"

Li Fuxing cried while talking, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of others.Fang Dayang on the side looked at his distraught appearance and sighed.

"Miss doesn't know anything, but there are not many people who are shipwrights who don't want to build big ships, but the craft of shipbuilding is passed on from father to son, and from son to grandson. It is only passed on from male to female, and it is even more impossible to pass it on to outsiders. Brother Chen's father even married his daughter to someone else in order to learn the craft of building a big ship, but in the end... he didn't even learn a single thing."

When he spoke, Fang Dayang was stunned. He was over 40 years old. Although he had thought about building a large ship across the ocean, he never thought that he would be able to learn this craft one day. Of course he did not believe that Mr. Shi would The craft of shipbuilding.But in fact, there is not much difference in shipbuilding. The key is some tricks on the ship. No one will ever know where the tricks are. But just looking at this pattern right now, he knows that with this pattern, he will definitely be able to create the sea. The boat is coming.

"So, with this blueprint, it is really possible to build a sea-going ship?"

"Can, can, why can't..."

Li Fuxing, who was crying loudly, said excitedly.

"Miss, you don't know, these blueprints are the secrets of each family. With this blueprint, let alone a single-masted ship, even a three-masted ship can be built. The key is..."

After thinking about it, Li Fuxing said:

"Master Shi, is this boat different from ours?"

"It seems to be a bit like an orangomania boat. It has not only a keel, but also ribs. It is different from our boat, but its sails are also different from the orangomania's. But as long as we understand this boat thoroughly, We will definitely be able to build larger seagoing ships in the future, with two or three masts not a problem.”

"That's right, you guys can figure it out by yourself in the future,"

Listening to what they said, Shi Yiwen smiled and said,

"Let's build this ship first, and when it's finished and the skills are practiced, I'll get you new blueprints. This ship is not big, so it's just for training."

Fang Dayang and Li Fuxing, who were already in their 40s, glanced at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed:

"Master is here, please accept the disciples!"

Shi Yiwensheng accepted the obeisance, but did not refuse.But Fang Dayang and Li Fuxing worshiped sincerity, because what they learned was that those shipbuilding families had "unpassed secrets", and with this blueprint, they could master the "secrets" of building seagoing ships.

Watching this scene dumbfounded, Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded. Both Fang Dayang and Li Fuxing were boat builders hired by his father at a high price, but even if they paid a high price, they would not build a big ship that can pass through the sea. , why?

Because such shipbuilders have been passed down from generation to generation, either they build ships for a certain maritime merchant family from generation to generation, or they build their own ships and sell them.But even so, his father had to invite the boatman to come to Beigang, why?
Ship repairs and hull maintenance are all inseparable from the boatman.

But now the two masters who could usually sit and talk with his father, both knelt down to worship Shi Yiwen as their teacher, how could she not be surprised?
"Uncle Fang, since that's the case, you all go back and prepare. Let's build this boat first to practice."

"That... I'll go back first, and I'll wait for you in the factory when I turn back!"

Fang Dayang rubbed his hands, looked at the drawing with some reluctance and said.

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Li, go slowly!"

Seeing the figure of the big man disappear and turning to look at Shi Yiwen, Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing again.

"It's too unexpected that they actually worship you as their teacher."

After a little contact with Shi Yiwen these days, she no longer looks at him with the same eyes as before, but today's incident was beyond her expectations, even until now, she still thinks about this guy's ability Where is the bottom line.

"Those who are capable are teachers!"

Shi Yiwen smiled slightly, then clapped his hands, and said:
"Ruyu, have you eaten yet? Xiaoyue brought back a fish today, and we will eat sweet and sour fish today!"
