Datang Live Room

"Magistrate Xiaoyan, this dock will be built in a few days." Master Deng said.

It's said to be a dock, but it's actually just a big pit dug and a foundation made of big logs.

At that time, the construction of the Fu Ship will begin on the basis of these logs. After the construction is completed, it will be dug directly to the sea, and the ship will be launched.

"Sorry to trouble you, Master Laodeng!"

Yan Kai had no choice but to learn from other masters that Master Deng had been lost for a long time because of his original title.

This is the master of civil engineering among his craftsmen.

If he wants to be old, he can be old.

According to historical records, the total length of ordinary fortune ships reached 75 meters.

Some information mentions that the length of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean was 150 meters and the width was 50 meters.

It was a maritime aircraft carrier at that time.

Of course Yan Kai can't build it that big.

The first ship he built was enlarged and doubled based on the model of the Tianjin Maritime Museum.

It is 50 meters long and 17 meters wide. The designed pool depth is about 5 meters and the molded depth is about 8 meters.

Even so, this is the largest sea-going ship of this era.

Because in history, it was not until the Tang Dynasty one or two hundred years later that the Tang Dynasty built a large sea-going ship of twenty feet.

Moreover, after traveling all the way to the Persian Gulf, because the ship was too big, we had to change to smaller boats to carry the merchant cargo into the inland river.

The dock here is still under construction, and the shipbuilding project next to it has actually begun.

This ship is still made of wooden planks piece by piece. At this time, a lot of planks have been built and put aside.

Next to the construction site, Yan Kai also made a large display board, which not only has model drawings, but also renderings after completion.

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw this treasure ship for the first time.

"Don't you want some artillery on this ship? It feels a little unsafe to sail out."

"Yeah, the anchor should do it like in the movie, at least have more than ten red cannons on one side."

"It's still an all-wood structure. Is the anchor short of iron? Let's donate some to you to build an entire all-iron structure warship!"

"Forget it, the artillery is not that simple to make. The crossbow is already very good, but the anchor's crossbow is a bit lacking."

"The captain is fifty meters long, so it's not too much to have a large crossbow machine every two meters, right? It's enough to have 25 on the left and 25 on the right!"

"I don't think 50 is enough. Can we add another layer on top of this deck? We are building 38 of them. The numbers are auspicious!"

After seeing the words of netizens in the live broadcast room, Yan Kai knew that he was indeed being conservative.

The main weapon on this lucky ship is the crossbow. He designed 10 of these bed crossbows, 5 on each side, single-shot, and the main target is the opponent's ship.

This kind of bed crossbow already uses the technology in the Song Dynasty's "Martial Classics General Essentials".

When stretching the string, the number of people required to winch the shaft is about 15.

The shooting range can reach nearly 600 meters, which is definitely a shooting distance that cannot be surpassed in this era.

And in addition to ordinary crossbow arrows, this bed crossbow can also have a pocket on the string.

Each pocket holds dozens of arrows and shoots them out at the same time, which is the famous "jackdaw arrow".

Used against fast small ships.

Then there are also 10 crossbows in a row, 5 on each side, and the target is sailors.

At that time, Yan Kai asked Li Anyan whether such firepower was enough to run a business.

Li Anyan replied, give him ten ships... no, just give him five such ships, and the entire East China Sea will have the surname Yan.

Only then did Yan Kai realize the status of such a lucky ship and its firepower in this era.

The key point is that he really didn't create this thing just to fight!

There are many pirates at sea, so it is used for self-defense.

Its main function is still for commercial use, and it can be regarded as an armed merchant ship at most.

As for the steel battleship, even if there is enough iron, he actually can't build it now, so he can only take his time.

At this time, Li Lizhi ran over with a pile of various small conches and shells.

"Big lie...Brother Yan Kai, look, I picked a lot."

Forget it, he took himself to the sea to play, so just forgive him.

Yan Kai saw the sweat on her forehead and said with a smile: "You are here to work, not just to play."

In fact, it's not that she isn't allowed to play, it's just that the sun is getting high now, and if she keeps running on the beach like this, she will suffer from heat stroke.

He took her under a shed and said, "Look, these are boiled herbal teas. When the masters come over, you can put the herbal tea in a bowl and hand it to them. How about it?"

"This is simple!" Li Lizhi nodded and said.

"Then...can I drink it?" Seeing the masters drinking the herbal tea so happily, she started drooling.

"You have your own." Yan Kai took out a thermos cup, which contained the medicine Sun Simiao prescribed for her.

He brought it after it was cooked.

Li Lizhi thought it was really herbal tea. After opening it, she found that it was still steaming. She blew on it and tried it with her lips and found that it was not hot enough to drink.

I had been sweating from playing just now and the weather was hot, so I was already very thirsty at this time.

She raised her head and poured it into her mouth.

I didn't feel anything at all for the first two bites, but then something felt wrong.

Turning around and looking at Yan Kai with a pout, he was indeed a big liar. The herbal tea definitely didn't taste like this.

Although she was still young, she didn't believe that someone could drink something so unpleasant and still be so happy.

"Drink quickly. I'll give you this when you finish." Yan Kai, who had been prepared, took out a lollipop from his bag.

"Lollipop!" Li Lizhi's eyes lit up.

"you know?"

"Well, Mr. Chu has one, but he is so stingy. He only gave me one in total. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I just licked it every time."

"But then one time when little Man'er got sick and cried a lot, I gave her something to eat."

As she spoke, she stared at the lollipop in Yan Kai's hand.

"Little Man'er is also His Majesty's daughter. Her biological mother was a concubine in the palace. After she passed away in childbirth, she was adopted by the Queen."

Yun Zhuiyue explained on the side.

Hey, who doesn’t like a little girl like this?

Yan Kai took out another lollipop.

"Then I'll give you two, but this is the medicine Grandpa Sun has prescribed for you, and you have to finish it."

"I know." Li Lizhi took two lollipops from Yan Kai's hand and gave one to Yun Zhuiyue.

Then he stuck out his little tongue and said, "I know it was prescribed by Grandpa Sun. I have to get well soon before I can go back to accompany my father and mother."

Then he began to feel proud of his cleverness.

It was a bitter medicine that I had to drink, but I got two lollipops from this big liar.

But...in this case, would he be a little liar?

After thinking about it, she shook her head. It was because the big liar deceived her first and she defrauded the lollipop from him, so it definitely didn't count.

Frowning, he drank the rest of the medicine and then happily put the lollipop into his mouth.

Sweet, so sweet!
