Concentricity

Mo Jinyan just wanted to wave his hand and say no.Master Lin had already answered: "This is what it should be. Leave this ship model to me for safekeeping, and I will ensure that it will be handed over to Xiao Mo exactly."

Mo Jinyan smiled and said, "Actually, although this ship model has been made, I just made a preliminary calculation. As for whether it is really feasible or not, I still need everyone's help to prove it."

Master Lin said: "There is no need to worry about this. Since you brought it, Xiao Mo, it means that the construction of this ship has entered the preliminary stage, and the rest are all about details."

Yu Simian asked: "If this ship is going to be built, how long will it take?"

Master Lin said: "If it goes well, it will be completed in two or three years."

Yu Simian was taken aback: "How could it take so long?"

Mo Jinyan added on the side: "This ship is a big ship that has never been built before. The keel of the ship is much larger than before. The shipyard must have not prepared it in advance, so it needs to be prepared separately. It takes time to dry the wood. It is very smooth to build ten thousand dendrobium ships in three years."

Yu Simian sighed and said, "It's really like a mountain. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to build a ship. In the future, the soldiers only need to take more care of the ship."

Master Lin said: "Thank you Master Yu for your compassion. Sir and Xiao Mo will stay in the shipyard for a few more days. In these few days, let's hurry up and study Xiao Mo's ship model. If there is any problem, we can communicate with Xiao Mo in time."

In fact, it is reasonable to say that Mo Jinyan, as the main designer, should participate in the whole process of building such a large ship, but from the perspective of the shipyard, he should not be allowed to participate too much as an outsider. Second, they don't want Mo Jinyan to take the main credit.

In fact, Mo Jinyan doesn't care whether he can sign his name or not, but Yu Simian feels that they don't want to make a profit. It is his own name that needs a little bit. In the future, everyone will become a piece of loess, at least one A famous name will live forever in the memory of the world.

When there was no one around, Yu Simian said to Mo Jin: "This ten-thousand dendrobium boat is to be built by the imperial court. It seems that the imperial court will make some changes in maritime policy, but I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Mo Jinyan wondered: "If the court can't help the sea, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Yu Simian smiled wryly: "It would be a good thing if the sea ban is lifted. What I'm worried about is that Shangxiongtu is planning to expand overseas."

Mo Jinyan frowned: "Do you want to fight?"

Yu Simian shook his head: "It's just my guess, and it may not be. After all, the dynasty has only been established for a few decades, and the people's life has just stabilized. The national power is far from being strong. If there is a strategy today, it will not be so reckless. Decision-making. Maybe I was thinking too much, maybe it will really be a sea ban."

Mo Jinyan put his hand on the back of Yu Simian's hand: "Don't worry, let's think on the bright side, maybe we really have to open the sea ban."

At noon on the second day after arriving at the shipyard, Yu Simian and Mo Jinyan had dinner, and the two went for a walk in the shipyard together.It is already deep winter, and the vegetation in the yard of the shipyard is withered. Looking over from the slanting branches, the sky is blue, and the sun is pouring down, shining on people warmly, and people are lazy, like a cat. lazy.

But it was a different scene in the shipyard. It was the peak season for shipbuilding, and all the workshops were buzzing and busy, with no sign of winter at all.

Mo Jinyan walked along the various workshops with great interest, and sometimes even went to participate in it twice, planing a piece of wood, and hammering twice in the iron workshop, and suddenly felt warm all over his body, and the chill disappeared.

The scope of the shipyard is extremely wide, and you can't finish it in two hours.Yu Simian accompanied Mo Jinyan for a walk, and he didn't think it was troublesome, and he always enjoyed it and worked hard without complaint.

They turned to the cable workshop and went in to watch the cable making for a while. When they came out, they met a man. Intimacy.

As soon as the man saw them coming out, he came up to him and asked, "May I ask you, I just came out of the joinery workshop and wanted to go to the hull assembly workshop, but I lost my way. Please show me the way." When he spoke, he spoke with a northern accent, even further north than Yu Simian's Beijing accent, but his voice was slightly softer.

Hearing his accent, Mo Jinyan felt more fond of this person, he smiled and said, "This brother is going to the main workshop, right? "It turns out that the ship's main body assembly workshop is divided into different workshops according to the size of the ship. For example, the A-character workshop is the workshop for building the largest ships.

The man seemed to be a little unexpected, he scratched his head: "I really don't know. Whichever one is fine, let's say it's closer."

Mo Jinyan raised his hand and pointed to the southeast corner: "There, in fact, these workshops are all connected together, but the A shop is in the middle, the B shop is on the east, and the C shop is on the west."

"So that's the case, then thank you little brother." The man made a bow, turned and left.

Mo Jinyan saw the man walking away, so he pulled Yu Simian and said, "Brother Yu, the accent of this man is from the north."

Yu Simian looked at the man's back and smiled: "They are from the north, but not from our place. They go further north than me. Actually speaking, I am not a northerner, but I am farther north than yours." .”

"Is there a sea in the north? Do you still need to come to Fuzhou to see the boat?" Mo Jinyan was a little puzzled.

"Well, there are." Yu Simian pondered for a while. He was not sure what the identity of this person was, but one thing was for certain. This person was ninety percent a court servant, and most of them were royal envoys. Make a big move?

In the evening, the two were eating in the guest room.Master Lin came to look for them in person: "Master Yu, Master Xiao Mo."

"Master Lin, please sit down." Mo Jinyan quickly stood up, "Have you eaten, Master Lin? Let's have some together."

Master Lin waved his hand: "No, no, I've already eaten. I haven't greeted you well in the past few days, Master Yu and Master Xiao Mo are very sympathetic."

Mo Jinyan took a look at the dishes on the table, all of them were trendy dishes, boiled river fish, steamed scallops, and Xi Shi Tong, all of which were excellent dishes, so it could be seen that they were well received.It's just that there is no one to accompany them, this is Yu Simian's request, they can eat by themselves, there is no need to accompany them.

Yu Simian smiled and said, "Master Lin, you are being polite. I don't know what you can do, Master Lin?"

Master Lin smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that an imperial envoy from the imperial court arrived early this morning, saying that he wanted to check the progress of our boat building. I plan to take them to see the boat made by Master Mo tomorrow. Mo, I hope Master Mo can also be present, so as to clear up the confusion for the imperial envoy in time."

Master Lin's meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that Mo Jinyan can explain his ship model to the imperial envoy in person.

Mo Jinyan glanced back at Yu Simian, Yu Simian said: "Master Lin, if this happens, we may not be able to control the ownership of the main designer of this ship."

Master Lin hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "We haven't had time to study Master Mo's ship model, and the convenience has already arrived. I am afraid that when we answer it, there will be many loopholes, which will arouse the other party's suspicion. How about this? Let's say that Xiao Mo is the master shipbuilder of the shipyard, and he took the lead in designing the Wanhu ship model."

Yu Simian frowned, he didn't want Xiao Mo to show off like this, but now it seemed that the situation was out of their control, he thought about it, and said to Mo Jinyan: "Xiao Mo, it seems that you must go."

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Then I'll go."

Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will send someone to invite the two of you tomorrow morning."

After Master Lin went out, Yu Simian said to Mo Jin, "I will accompany you tomorrow. Be careful with your words, and be careful not to speak out."

Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian's eyes, they were shining, this was the first time Yu Simian asked him such details: "Brother Yu, is there something wrong?"

Yu Simian reached out and touched the back of Mo Jinyan's head: "I can't tell, anyway, there is nothing wrong with being cautious."

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Okay."

Yu Simian picked up a scallop stick for him: "Let's eat. Don't worry too much, there is a brother."

In the early morning of the second day, Master Lin sent a servant to invite Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian, and led them to the Azihao workshop.

The masters of the shipyard have all arrived, but the imperial envoy has not yet arrived. Master Lin and Mo Jinyan discussed the wording, and as soon as they agreed, all the adults of the shipyard accompanied the imperial envoy and arrived.

Mo Jinyan took a look, and among the three people who came, one of them was the white-faced and beardless stalwart man he met in front of the cable workshop yesterday.When the man saw Mo Jinyan, he showed a friendly smile, and Mo Jinyan's uneasy heart eased a little.

The person in charge of Fuzhou Shipyard introduced: "This one is Mr. Ma from the capital."

The stalwart man nodded to everyone as a greeting, and his attention was quickly attracted by the model ship on the table.He scrutinized it carefully for a long time, and asked a lot of questions, not very professional, but not completely layman, most of them were about the safety and stability of the big ship.

Mo Jinyan gave answers one by one, and the other party nodded again and again, as if quite satisfied.

Finally, Master Ma asked: "If we need three Wanhu ships, how long will it take for Fuzhou Shipyard to build them?"

Mo Jinyan was stunned for a moment, a ship with three dendrobiums was already very important, and the other party actually needed three ships. He didn't know much about the manufacturing capabilities of the shipyard, so he set his sights on Master Lin.

Master Lin took over the conversation: "If you start preparing now, it will take at least three years for the three Wanhu ships."

Master Ma nodded and said: "Very good, then hurry up and build the Wanhu boat as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, everyone backed out, Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian just wanted to leave when they were stopped: "Master Mo, stay here."

Mo Jinyan looked back and saw that it was Master Ma: "Master Ma called me?"

Mr. Ma came over and said with a smile: "I just want to thank you for pointing out yesterday."

Mo Jinyan smiled honestly: "Master Ma, you are welcome."

Master Ma looked at Yu Simian behind Mo Jinyan: "Master Mo, is this also the master of the shipyard?"

Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian and shook his head: "No, this is my elder brother, he is with me..."

"I'm here to see my brother." Yu Simian cut off the conversation, in case Mo Jinyan slipped his tongue.This time he came to the shipyard not on business, but to accompany Mo Jinyan on vacation, so he did not reveal his identity to outsiders.

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "So that's it. Master Mo is much younger than I imagined. I didn't expect to be in charge of the repair of such a big ship. He is really a hero."

Mo Jinyan waved his hands: "I'm ashamed and dare not take it. It's a bit ignorant, and it makes Mr. Ma laugh."

Mr. Ma shook his head: "Master Mo doesn't have to be humble, even if he is ambitious."

Yu Simian said: "I just listened to Mr. Ma, it seems that the imperial court is going to go to the ocean?"

Master Ma smiled and said, "It seems that today I have such a plan."

Yu Simian nodded, turned to Mo Jin and said: "Little Mo, this is a big deal, the boat you built can go to Nanyang."

Ma Daren said: "It may not be Nanyang, maybe I will go to the surrounding countries to see, or I may go further."

Yu Simian pretended to be extremely excited: "That's really awesome."

Master Ma nodded and smiled, "That's true. Then there will be Master Lao Mo, and I hope to see the ship as soon as possible."
