There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 406 Custom Cruiser

Fuchuan, Guangzhou Ship, Sand Ship, Bird Ship.

China's four ancient ships.

Fu Chuan, also known as "Big Fu Chuan".Fu Chuan is a sharp-bottomed ship, famous for sailing in the Southeast Asia and the open sea.The warships of the later Ming Dynasty were mainly Fuchuan.

The name of Fuchuan comes from the fact that the place where it was built and invented is Fujian, so it is named after the place. The two also have the meaning of "blessing", especially when sailing on the sea. Fu is blessing, happiness, and happiness. The blessing of harvest represents the safety of people at sea, the happy life of fishermen and the harvest of fishing at sea.

Guangzhou Shipbuilding, produced in Guangdong, its basic characteristics are long head and body, small beam arch, and low deck ridge arc.The transverse structure of the hull is composed of tight ribs and bulkheads, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by keels and bulkheads.The structure is solid, and it has good airworthiness and endurance.

bird boat.The prow is shaped like a bird's beak and is named for the green eyebrow above the prow's eyes.Compared with the other three boats, the bird boat is the smallest and the speed is average, but its cost is cheap, and it is the boat most used by seaside fishermen.This kind of boat is fine for fishing, but it is useless for fighting.

The four ancient ships each have their own magical functions and uses.

The reason why Fuchuan is the most famous is because it takes into account the characteristics of all other ships.

In terms of size, among the four ancient ships, the Cantonese Chuan and the Fuchuan are the largest, especially the Cantonese ships that go out to sea are bigger than the Fuchuan.

Compared with the hardness, Guangzhou Chuan is also the most. If you use Fuchuan to compete with Guangzhou Chuan, it will definitely be Fuchuan.Because the main beams and beams of Guangzhou Shipyard are made of precious Southeast Asian wood, such as iron plow wood, etc., and the manufacturing process and procedures of Guangzhou Shipyard are too complicated, it takes too much time, but the effect is also very good. , Catalpa worms are hard to destroy even if they eat them.But this is also a disadvantage of Guangzhou Shipyard.

What are the disadvantages?
The cost is too high!

Secondly, maintenance is the most difficult. In the society at that time, it was difficult to have so many resources.

Fuchuan, on the other hand, uses pine and cedar, which can be found anywhere, and is easy to repair and low in cost.

It is also for this reason that Fuchuan is much more applicable than Guangzhou Shipyard in terms of construction volume and functions, and coupled with its low price, Fuchuan has the greatest reputation.

In addition to the high cost of construction, Guangzhou Shipyard has a bigger disadvantage that it cannot go far.

It's not that it can't go to sea, but because of its own structure, it is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, shaped like two wings. It is stable in the Caspian Sea, but if it enters the deep sea area like the Pacific Ocean, the stability is poor, not as good as Fuchuan.

However, this is a problem when it comes to ship maintenance.

Not only Fuchuan, but also Dingyuan and Yangwei.

These ships were drawn by lottery through the customization system, rather than built by themselves, and the shipbuilding technology in this time and space is also limited. If there are good masters on the domestic coast who can repair some minor faults, but if you go to the ocean, go to other places. What should I do if the road breaks down in my country?
Whether a ship is bad or not depends not on people, but on the sky?
When the Yangwei returned to the Beiyang Navy from the United Kingdom, it did not participate in any battles at sea, but it broke down several times during the few months at sea...

This is what Li Chu was thinking about.

But soon he felt that he was thinking too much.

Because this matter has no solution at all. Since there is no solution, why bother to think so much?
Immediately, Li Chu called out the template of Fuchuan.

The number of shells is limited, and we cannot rely on the artillery of Dingyuan and Yangwei to fight every naval battle. As the backbone of the navy, the attack method is to rely on collision. If it relies on collision, the material of Fuchuan is hard. Certainly not enough.

The hardness is not enough. If you use high-quality wood, the price will be high.

How about wrapping Fuchuan with a layer of iron?
Tin?

Since it's all made of iron, why not just put steel on it?Anyway, the price of this thing is cheap in system customization.

Suddenly, Li Chu slapped himself on the head again.

Silly.

I have a steel ship, why are I still limited to Fuchuan, and directly call the ships of later generations.

So Li Chu changed the customized ship into a ship of later generations, but before Li Chu could modify it, the price of this custom coin was shocking, 4000 million...

How can 4000 million customized coins be so expensive?
Well, he got it.

Technological barriers.

It stands to reason that if the Dingyuan number is drawn, then the technological barrier will definitely be opened because of the Dingyuan number. The custom price will definitely drop a lot. Why is it so expensive?
That's right, the Dingyuan is a ship from the Sino-Japanese War, while the ships of later generations are the technology of later generations, and the power systems of the two are not the same.

So Li Chu settled for the next best thing, and replaced the model with something like Yangwei.

It stands to reason that since the Dingyuan has lowered the custom price, the price of customizing a warship of the same period as the Dingyuan should not be too high, right?
Li Chu directly built a Yangwei, and made an identical one.

Look at the customized price of customized coins: 600 million.

Why is it still so expensive?
It stands to reason that this technological barrier has already been lit up once. Even if the price does not drop too much, it is not so expensive, right?
and many more?

Li Chu suddenly remembered something.

That is the weapon!
The technological barriers of weapons are different from others. Even if the barriers are broken, there are still more small barriers in him. Not only that, the more high-tech weapons are customized in the customization system, the price is the highest. For example, the Leopard 1 tank brings Although the effect of barriers has been reduced a lot, the price is still an astronomical figure.

So Li Chu temporarily removed all the gun barrels, shells, and fish weapons of this new Yangwei, and then looked at the customized price.

30……

really!

Because of the shells, the price of the Yangwei is very expensive, but if the weapons are removed, it will cost 30...

So Li Chu counted the number of Yangwei to five, and then looked at the price, 140 million!This price is one hundred thousand less!
So Li Chu tried to equip the new Yangwei with a weapon, his original Armstrong 10-inch main gun.

Look at the custom price again, 700 million.

wipe!
In other words, this 254mm Armstrong breech-loading gun is worth 670 million custom coins.

Hold the grass!

Now, suddenly discovering this big accident, Li Chu suddenly felt very pleasantly surprised.

The barrier is really broken!
The 254mm rifled gun is only 670. Li Chu seems to have seen another hope.

It seems that the dream of forming an artillery team in the future is not far away.

good, very good, excellent!

Afterwards, Li Chu tested the other guns on the Yangwei one by one, testing the price one by one.

In the end, Li Chu chose to keep the 37mm single-barreled Hatches.

The cost of one such gun is as high as 60.

Worth two ships.

No hurry, take your time.

Cannon, Li Chu only needs one, and the 60 includes this cannon and [-] rounds of shells.
