Become the city lord from today

"One-two-one, one-two-one..."

A neat shout came from afar, and before Liu Feng reached the dock, he heard the familiar army shout.

"One-two-one, one-two-one..."

As the soldiers got closer and closer, sweaty trots and marched rhythmically to the sound of shouts.

"It's like exercising." Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction, compared to the training he saw a few days ago, today's training made him very satisfied.

The training a few days ago, I didn't even see how much sweat flowed, and now the amount of sweat is like exercising, as long as salt water, warmth and the like keep up, there is no big problem at all.

The soldiers put down the wood and lined up again to run to the Forbidden Mountains, where there was still a lot of wood, this was the last trip, and after this trip they could go back for lunch.

Dalena looked at the group of people carrying wood in a daze, these people gave her the feeling of being like those knights in the royal capital, no, a little different, that is, they moved more neatly and were not as lazy as those knights.

"Your Excellency Liu Feng, are they?" Dalena asked curiously.

"My soldier." Liu Feng chuckled, seeing Dalena's puzzled eyes, and added, "It's the knights you think, but in my place, they are all soldiers." "

"Soldier?" Dalena raised an eyebrow, a strange title.

However, she was also surprised that she actually let the knight move wood, which is unthinkable in other cities, the knight is to obediently practice swordsmanship, horsemanship, and gunship, how can it be impossible to move wood.

Liu Feng did not explain the meaning of the word soldier, he would not admit too many knights, otherwise class struggle would appear, soldiers would be the mainstream in the future, and knights would sooner or later be replaced by him with an officer system.

"Click, click..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The dockyard is working in full swing, and hundreds of people gather here, under the command of more than a dozen shipbuilders, sawing wood, digging pits, etc., all working in an orderly manner.

There are also dozens of tents next to it, which are places to keep people warm to eat and drink, after all, work sweats too much, and if you don't pay attention, you will get sick and catch a cold.

"Lord City Lord." A steward saw Liu Feng and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"What about Whisk?" Liu Feng scanned the circle and saw no one.

"Lord City Lord, Wizard is directing the work there." The steward said respectfully.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, and had already begun to transform the opening?

"I'll go and call him over." The steward said quickly.

"No, show me." Liu Feng shook his head and said, he also wanted to know what the opening had been transformed into.

"Yes." The steward hurriedly stood aside.

Wizard was directing people to dig a hole in the shore to bury a stake, and build a wooden platform to come out, and the wooden platform was to create that kind of inclination.

The shipbuilding is started on the wooden platform, as long as it is blocked with a wooden stopper, so as not to let the boat slide into the water, after the ship is built, to remove the wooden plug, you can follow the wooden platform into the water.

This method is actually a method of coastal shipbuilding, after all, a ship is too heavy, relying on manpower to pull into the water, a little too hard.

When Liu Feng came to the opening, his brows furrowed, the slipway (wooden platform), the dock cover and so on, not to mention, not even a dock frame has been shadowed, there is no cement such a 'artifact', the construction process is really very slow.

"Lord City Lord, you are here." When Wei Shi saw Liu Feng, he immediately ran over to salute, he was a little nervous, for fear that he would not do a good job, after all, it was the first time he accepted such a big task.

"How? Any questions? Liu Feng asked lightly.

"No, you have everything you want here." Whisk shook his head again and again, can he not be satisfied, he wants people to give people, wood to wood, even woodworking tools are unprecedented, such as the saw, the chisel made of stainless steel, etc.

"I'll build one of the slipways first, and then expand the rest next year." Liu Feng instructed that what he wanted was an indoor slipway, after all, it was a wooden product, and when it was not brushed with waterproof tung oil, it would not be too long to let the wind and rain blow.

Moreover, next year's expansion, it will not be this wooden slipway, but a pure cement slipway, or a water-diversion slipway, that is, relying on water diversion to create buoyancy, and then dragging it into the river.

The most important thing is that you can use cement columns plus steel, with the pulley group can be made into an overhead crane, but this has to be pulled manually, but there is the principle of labor-saving pulley group, as long as a few people can lift many times the weight, that is the equipment prepared for building large ships.

At that time, the speed of shipbuilding will increase many times, after all, the most time-consuming thing is to move, especially the kind of tall large ships, it takes a lot of time to move wood from under the ship.

"Yes." Wizard hurriedly answered, in fact, he also thought so, after the first ship was successfully launched, it was necessary to expand before he had the confidence to expand.

"What kind of wood is used to build the ship?" Liu Feng asked curiously, he had never seen the real thing, and the name of the wood was something he had not heard of.

"It's a cedar tree." When Wei Shi said this, he became excited, and quickly said, "Lord City Lord, this kind of wood is the most suitable for shipbuilding, the hardness is only worse than ironwood, but it is very corrosion-resistant, and can be soaked in water for a long time..."

It turned out that this cedar tree only grew in a few places, and there was a large forest of cedar trees in the forbidden mountain range near Xiyang City.

Vass personally went to inspect that the number of ships built for hundreds of years could not be used up, which was simply a blessing for him, like a ship made of pure cedar trees in the coastal dock, the price was more than five times more expensive than ordinary ships.

"Show me." Liu Feng ordered.

"Yes." The wizard quickly led the way and took Liu Feng to the place where the cedar wood was placed.

The cedar tree is a tall tree species with tall and straight outside, with dots of red stripes in the trunk, which is also the origin of the name of the cedar tree.

"What about the ship's keel? What wood to use? Liu Feng then asked, a wooden ship, the most important thing is the keel of the ship.

"Iron mahogany." Wizard said seriously, if the cedar tree is a surprise, then ironwood is ecstasy, this material comparable to iron is the best ship keel.

The price of iron mahogany is more than ten times more expensive than that of cedar wood, and it is generally used by large merchants and nobles to make spear handles, or furniture.

As for the use of ship keels, very few people use it, expensive is on the one hand, mainly rare, only the Forbidden Mountains grow iron mahogany.

Liu Feng nodded, this iron mahogany he knew, because the wood is strong, the heart of the tree is red is famous, I heard that knights use long swords to cut down an iron mahogany for a day.

This made Liu Feng think of the ironwood on the other side of the earth, which is also extremely strong, but not as exaggerated as the ironwood.

As for why he didn't use iron mahogany to build ships, it would take half a year to process the wood alone, but Liu Feng had heard that four or five people divided iron mahogany into planks, and they could only make one piece a day.

Think about how many planks a ship uses, and just thinking about that amount can make people fall to the bottom.

Iron mahogany shipbuilding can be built, but not now, Liu Feng once planned to use iron mahogany to build ships, only one a year, this time let him know that he could not be in a hurry.

In the future, his big ship will be made of iron mahogany, and he still wants to go to the sea of this world to see.
