Daming One Piece

Chapter 85 Arms Trading (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
It's really nice to have someone to accompany you.

It's hard to say clearly, this feeling, but what is certain is that someone is with you at night, and it must be a lingering night.

The night of the apocalypse, the shaking mosquito net, and the imaginative sound.When all these things come together, it will definitely give people an indescribable enjoyment.

When she woke up in the morning, Xiaoyue had already woken up.

After Shi Yiwen packed up and got up, when he was about to have breakfast, he felt a little unwell.

Something seems to be different from usual.

"By the way, why didn't Xiaoxue come today?"

Shi Yiwen glanced outside the door, usually at this time, Xiaoxue should come over to grab a meal.But today she seemed to have disappeared.

"Maybe she is studying at Mr. Li's side. The young lady said that the young lady has been running wild for a while, so she has to calm down."

Mr. Li.

An old man in his 50s with a gray beard and gray hair appeared in Shi Yiwen's mind.Although the round neck shirt he was wearing was a bit worn out, it was very clean. He was a teacher from Zhaizi School.

There is a school in Beigang, and there are not many students, both male and female.This may also be the reason why Yan Siqi is known as the "King of Taiwan". No matter what you say, he is worthy of this title.

What is since ancient times, since ancient times has never been casually said.It is the result of generation after generation of Chinese ancestors "Bilu blue strands to enlighten the mountains and forests". This has not only included Taiwan, but also the Philippines... Back then, the pirate Lin Feng also introduced immigrants and expanded land in Luzon. Isn't that also from ancient times? since?

Oh, yes, there is also Saigon, Singapore, Malaya, and... well, there are too many places from ancient times, and now, since I have come to this era, all I have to do is to consolidate those ancient places , Let those lands completely belong to Huaxia.

After breakfast, Shi Yiwen did not idle, but was busy in the shipyard, staying in the shipyard for the whole day.After the completion of the "Black Pearl", the shipyard was not idle, but continued to build a two-masted schooner, the so-called "Skuna schooner", which began to be widely used in the 18th century. Used where speed and tacking capability are required, such as slave traders, privateers, and fishing and expedition vessels.Technically speaking, he is not much more complicated than a sloop like the "Black Pearl", but it is longer and larger.

Of course, the difficulty of construction is also "slightly" greater, but some things are universal.

For those pirates in Beigang, oh no, for those sailors, a shipyard that can build seagoing ships means that they no longer need to worry about their livelihood, especially now that the big guys are starting to prepare for sailing.

As long as the wind is steady for a few more days, you can sail away.

To Hoi An, to Manila, to Batavia, and some Ming sea ships in Guangzhou and other places will sail all the way to India, to Persia, and even to Suez in the Red Sea.

In the age of great voyages, is Daming absent?

never absent!
In fact, from the day Longqing opened the sea, the footprints of Daming maritime merchants have traveled around the South China Sea and all over the Indian Ocean.Just like these sailors in Beigang, they are participants in the great age of discovery.

As the owner of the ship, Guo Huaiyi was naturally also a participant. He even brought a few subordinates to help in the shipyard. It's just because he is the future son-in-law of the Yan family, and more importantly, this Mr. Shi has the ability to turn stones into gold.

Don't talk about anything else, it's just a salt, how many people will benefit from it? In the past few days, Yang Tiansheng, Chen De, and the others have bloomed with grins.

Finally, after a busy day in the shipyard, before Shi Yiwen could rest in the tea pavilion, Guo Huaiyi came over there.

"Captain Guo must have something to do when he came here today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Mr. Shi is really a straightforward person. In fact, my old Guo is not for myself, but for the brothers on the ship. When we went to sea, we didn't catch up with the salt field. I don't ask for anything else. I just want to make cannons with Mr. Shi. , Didn’t you say on the boat that you can cast cannons?”

Guo Huaiyi seemed very straightforward and did not hide it, and directly put forward his request.

"Cannon? Hey, what am I supposed to be? Look at my mouth... To be honest with you, I can only say that I know a little bit about how to make a cannon, but I have never practiced it. Can I cast it like a Dutchman? I'm not sure about a cannon like that."

Co-author Guo Huai saw that he fell in love with the business of cannons. Over the cannon, it is true that I learned metallurgical machinery.

It is also true that the technique of casting cannons is uncomplicated.

But understanding the truth and being able to make it are completely two concepts.There are many people who know the principle of the atomic bomb, but how many countries can build the atomic bomb?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's not as good as the Dutchman's, even if it's officially cast, it's not as good as the Dutchman's."

Far from being disappointed, Guo Huaiyi became even more concerned.In his opinion, cannons are not cheap in themselves. As long as they can be cast, they can be sold at a high price. Not every sea merchant has the means to buy cannons, but every sea merchant must need cannons.If cannons were so easy to make, they would be sold as farts.

"I don't know how confident the young master is in casting it?"

"Well... [-]% to [-]% certainty, it mainly depends on whether the raw materials are suitable or not."

Shi Yiwen recalled in his mind the knowledge related to casting that he had learned in college. The knowledge of casting was not complicated. The craft of casting cannons in this era, to put it bluntly, was just the basic casting process.

What is the real problem?
It's an iron furnace.

This furnace has a lot to do with it, and of course the raw material quality of the pig iron directly affects the performance of the cast cannon.

Carefully recalling the corresponding knowledge learned in college, Shi Yiwen felt that there was still a certain degree of difficulty in his heart.After all, at that time, I was just learning from books, and I didn't do it myself at all.

Come up now and cast a cannon.

Where to start?

This is a thing.

Well, let's find a teacher first.

There are too many specific operation links, and it will not be clear for a while. It is always good to have a master guide.

"What is the raw material? Is it iron? We have it. I brought 10,000+ catties of iron when I came back this time. If I want to make iron, the mountain is full of wood, that's..."

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Guo Huaiyi said.

"Well, what about the joint-stock system? I have to give you a word from Mr. Shi."
