Super Smuggling System

Li Mu ended his leisurely life and started his busy work, which is to carry out a major transformation of the coastline.

Let the craftsmen who came come part out and lead the hard labor to organize the cliff highlands of the natural deep-water port, making it a real port where ships can berth.

At this time, in order not to delay the renovation of the port, the Muhai had already left the port and was moored on the sea far away from the offshore.

At the same time, Li Mu also ordered some craftsmen who knew how to build ships to find a suitable place for shipbuilding next to this natural port, and use it as a manufacturing base for seagoing ships in the future.

In this way, the sea ship shipyard and the port are together, which also solves the problem of no place to dock after the sea ships built in the future are launched.

In addition to these things, Li Mu had to choose a place not far from the coastline where the intensity of sunlight was good enough to accept the longest hours of sunlight in a day.

Carry out artificial cushion soil compaction, and then level the compacted land.

After leveling, Li Mu had to do it himself, because the bricklayers in Datang didn't know how to use cement at all, and didn't know the most basic ratio of cement and sand, one to two. (The author does not know what craftsman is called specifically, please forgive me.)

Not to mention how to calender and smooth the cement.

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't know either, but the good thing is that when Li Mu came to Datang, he knew about this matter and watched the basic teaching videos.

It's probably possible to imitate it.

Put a small pile of reconciled cement on the compacted ground, and Li Mu took a shovel and roughly leveled the pile of cement in front of him.

Then use a large wooden trowel to basically level it, and then do the detailed work, that is, to level and calender the cement, you need to use an iron trowel.

After explaining this series of action specifications and demonstrations to several bricklayers around him, Li Mu handed the thing in his hand to a bricklayer beside him.

"How is it? How many masters? Have you learned it?" Li Mu pointed to the large compacted land and said, "When you make it, you can use wood to make a long push board at the initial leveling. Flatten a large area of ​​cement, and then use the trowel in your hand to level and calender it little by little.”

"Back to my lord, we all know it, but it's just getting started, it's inevitable that it's too unfamiliar, and I hope your lord will not be offended."

The bricklayer who took the trowel from Li Mu's hands also knew in the past few days that the nobleman's temper was an easy-going nobleman, so he spoke out what he was worried about.

Otherwise, as a craftsman, he would not have the guts to say that.

The bricklayer seemed to express the aspirations of all the craftsmen present, and they all nodded in agreement.

Over the past few days, Li Mu has also met many craftsmen. The talking bricklayer in front of him is a familiar one, otherwise he would not have handed over the tools in his hand.

However, Li Mu is not the kind of harsh and unreasonable person, and he understands the worries of these craftsmen, so he smiled and comforted him: "Craftsman Zhang, don't worry, as for everyone who is not familiar with how to use this cement in the early stage, my lord Lord knows, after all, anyone has to go through a process of accepting new things, and I understand this."

"Thank you, Sir, for your understanding." Hearing Li Mu's words, the craftsmen present said happily.

"Okay, go ahead, I won't make trouble for you here." After comforting these craftsmen, Li Mu planned to leave this dusty place.

He came here only because the craftsmen in Datang didn't know how to use cement, and he needed to demonstrate it. After the demonstration, Li Mu would naturally leave.

He is not a craftsman, there is no need to stay here and teach them to work.

As for whether these craftsmen would be lazy after he left, Li Mu believed that these craftsmen in Datang would not be as lazy as modern people.

The ancient craftsmen were actually the most orderly traditional people, the rules were greater than the sky, and they were also the most moral group of people.

At least Li Mu has not discovered that these artisans under him have the imagination of idle work. As for those who work slowly, it is because they have just been exposed to new things, they are not used to them, and they are not easy to use.

In addition to instructing the craftsmen how to use cement, Li Mu also told the craftsmen some characteristics of cement, that is, the reconciled cement should be used up within a certain period of time, otherwise it will solidify, and then it will not be used again .

During this period of time, Li Mu traveled back and forth between the port, the shipyard, and the sea salt drying site.

After solving the cement problem, he can temporarily put this place down. After all, it will take a few days after the rammed ground is paved with cement.

In addition, once the cement is paved, it cannot be used directly, because it is only a plane and cannot achieve the function of water storage.

It is also necessary to build a circle of bricks and stones around it, divide this large area of ​​cement into several pools with different functional areas, and then spread cement to make several short cement pools that can hold things.

After the pool is made, at least wait until the cement is dry and after a few days of maintenance, it can be officially put into use, and seawater is introduced to dry the sea salt.

After solving the problem of sea salt foundation land, Li Mu began to care about the work of the shipyard.

There is no need for Li Mu to care about the shipbuilding base. Datang is familiar with how to build a shipbuilding base. He only needs to combine modern ideas and make some improvements to Datang's inherent technology.

What Li Mu cares about is how to make the style of sea-going ships, and the most important structure inside.

The reason is that the shipbuilders of the Tang Dynasty did not know about the keel. Li Mu also knew this. The use of keel in ancient China had to wait until the Song Dynasty.

It was not until the nineteenth century that Europe began to use keels.

It can also be understood why Datang Shipping or the Maritime Silk Road is underdeveloped. Sea-going ships without a keel basically cannot go out to the open sea.

You can only wander around the continental shelf.

The Maritime Silk Road was so prosperous in the Song Dynasty, not only because the Silk Road was cut off, but also because of the invention of the keel.

Let sea ships have the ability to sail on the sea for a long time, and more goods brought by SH can bring more benefits to merchants. Under the guidance of money, the Maritime Silk Road in Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous. prosperity.

The purpose of the shipyard that Li Mu wants to pay attention to is on the keel. He wants to explain the importance of the keel in combination with his need for the ships built by these shipbuilders.

Li Mu couldn't help being careless, because besides the merchant ships for transporting goods, there were also warships he needed.

These boats carry human lives. Although Li Mu doesn't care about human lives, it's better to avoid death or not to die. In addition, he needs some of these boats to plunder his wealth.

It is even more impossible to let these boats go wrong, otherwise, the built boats will fall apart after sailing far, which would be embarrassing.

Chapter 1 and seven are tedious things.

He told all the artisans present about the importance and function of the keel to the sea-going ship, and handed over the blueprint of sea-going ship manufacturing to all the artisans present. (www.mianhuatang.la has no pop-up ads)

This time Li Mu only chose two kinds of sea ships.

A kind of Fuchuan, a famous sea-going ship of the Ming Dynasty, is a blueprint of the internal and external structure of the Fuchuan, which was copied by modern technology using the treasure ships of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West as a template.

There is also a flying clipper ship invented by the United States. The reason why Li Mu chose this kind of ship is because of the speed of the clipper ship.

The same clipper boat is also the fastest sailboat design in terms of speed since the development of sailboats, and the fastest speed of clipper boats can reach the historical record.

It is the Great Republic built by the United States in 1853. It is 93 meters long, 16.2 meters wide, and 9.1 meters deep. It only takes 3400 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

The speed of the flying shear ship is a natural escort ship, which is also the only purpose for it to enter Li Mu's eyes and bring it to Datang.

In Datang, the clipper ship will not become the purpose of its invention in the United States, it is for transporting goods.

The main function of Li Mu's clipper ship is an attack frigate, and the auxiliary function is to transport goods.

In the Tang Dynasty, the clipper ship will become the frigate of Fuchuan for ocean-going trade. The clipper ship can use its excellent speed to wipe out the enemy in danger when encountering pirates during the oceangoing period. outside.

In the same way, Li Mu chose the clipper ship for another reason, that is to equip the Muhai with frigates. The clipper ship is the only sailboat that can keep up with the speed of the Shanghai Muhai.

In Li Mu's vision, he will build an attack fleet in Datang, with the Muhai as the command center and the clipper ships as the attack frigates.
