Three transfer certificate cents

The gentle sea breeze blows the sea of ​​clouds in the twilight, and the little islands in the distance are hidden in the waves of the sea of ​​clouds. The weather starts to become slightly cooler. Under the guidance of Liu Xitong, Zhang Tian inspects Liu's shipyard.

Liu Xitong's eloquence is good, he said slowly: "Official ship transportation has a long history in Tianyu State. For hundreds of years, we have "cut wood to make boats, and dried wood to make boats. Let's invite Shangguan to inspect Liu's shipyard together!"In the past, wooden sailboats were made of ironwood from around Dadu, which was easy to build, but it also had disadvantages.Since the hull is just nailed together, tall sails cannot be used.We need to use low-tension rigging, so we have to add sails, so that the sailboat can run straight, and we splice the wood piece by piece according to the curve, and each piece is measured and cut separately..." A group of people slowly Walking forward slowly and talking, it took about half a stick of incense to arrive at Liu's shipyard.

The first thing that catches the eye is the gate archway of Liu's Shipyard, which looks tens of feet high. On the horizontal plaque on the front gate of the archway are the four characters "Official Shipyard" written by the Lord of Tianyu Kingdom.The handwriting is vigorous and vigorous.As the saying goes, "The pen is like the wind and clouds, and the air is like a rainbow. If you accumulate strength and become a hero, see this old man."

The Liu family's official shipyard occupies a large area, with a total of six docks, it can be regarded as a large official shipyard for the royal family of Tianyu Kingdom.Usually it is relatively busy. After all, the process of manufacturing an official ship is complicated. Official ships, as the name suggests, are "military ships".The official ship is an official ship for the royal army, and it is also used to transport goods. The work on the official ship is very hard, requiring about [-] crew members to operate the sails.

Liu Xitong led Zhang Tian to step into the shell-shaped stone road in the forest, wandering in a green forest, with slanting wind and drizzle, and the rustling of emerald green bamboo leaves, he came to the sixth dock. The majestic appearance of the official ship is clearly visible. The mast made of iron and wood is painted with yellow cooked oil, standing high on the ship and pointing to the sky.The sea beast totem carved on the stern of the ship shuttles and jumps in the waves to fight against the wind and waves.This official ship has a bowsprit, a foremast, a mainmast and a mizzen, with square canvas hanging on it, along the No. grace.

One of Liu Xitong's leaders said: "My lord, according to the historical records here, this No. [-] dock once built a large official ship. In order to explore the nearby sea area, the largest official ship was built here - [-] in length. Zhang, eighteen Zhang wide, but unfortunately all the materials have been destroyed! Now we can only build government-made ships that are thirty feet long!"

Standing on the deck of the government-made ship, Zhang Tian couldn't help but nodded, "It's really spectacular!" He had to marvel at the wisdom of human beings and the development of ancient shipbuilding technology. It is a shipbuilding myth to be able to compete with big brother's ship. The modern shipbuilding technology of the previous life has allowed ships sailing on the sea to be three to 400 meters long.But it is far less than the shock brought to the world by wooden sailboats made by wise working people.

To the west of the dock, the Liu family built a Neptune Temple here, commonly known by the locals as Dragon King Temple.Standing in front of the temple, Zhang Tian saw words engraved on two pillars: The thousand-year-old incense sticks only in Tianyu Ruisheng Land, and all meritorious deeds stand in Zhongbao Longwang Temple.Legend has it that whenever people sailing at sea encounter danger, if they can see a dragon flying in the sky, the danger will be eliminated.

According to legend, whenever a craftsman builds a boat, he will hold a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King. A piece of iron wood with a red rope is invited to the boat to worship, and the government-made ship will also be offered incense and fruits to worship the Dragon King. , Pray for the safety of the boat after it is launched.

In the docks No. [-] to No. [-], several government-made ships under construction are being erected. Zhang Tian followed the three of them and walked slowly all the way. The east side of No. [-] dock is the rest place for the boatmen, and the material warehouse is nearby. .

The government-made ship at Dock No. [-] in the distance was already faintly visible at this time. Everyone continued to move forward and stopped to rest at an ancient pavilion. Under their feet was a road paved with blue stones, which was extremely solid, because this road was for importing goods. cargo channel.

A leader of the Liu family briefly introduced the ship's production process, "Sir, the construction process of our Liu family's official ships is simple and clear. It was cut down. Then the keel of the ship is placed flat on an open space, its length will determine the size of the ship when it is completed, and then the bow and stern are added, and the inclination angle between them and the keel during installation is official. Relevant regulations are strictly regulated and limited.”

The little boss paused and said: "Our Tianyu Kingdom's shipbuilding method has lasted for several dynasties, and the design and construction are often judged by old craftsmen based on experience, but now our Liu family has improved and started to have new changes. Arrange materials according to the principle of arithmetic. The workers must measure the size of each material. As long as the most critical number of the captain is determined, we can process the others according to the corresponding algorithm. The remaining processing steps of the ship are the ribs. Construction starts from building the main ship ribs, and constructs the basic outline of the hull below the top edge of the ship. The shape of the ship ribs is designed in accordance with the anti-collision method, and the thickening installed in the middle and the reduction at the tail are consistent with the shape of the finished ship. , after adding the upper edge of the ship's side, the entire hull is built..."

After listening to the introduction, Zhang Tiancai clearly realized that the design of this ship is not easy for ordinary people to handle, but he has the funds, and the rest is to come up with a prototype ship, but this is a big problem in keeping it secret.

While Zhang Tian was thinking, his eyes were on the bluestone on the ground not far away. There were several stone carvings of ancient ships carefully carved by craftsmen, which looked quite special.

Liu Xitong asked cautiously: "Shangguan, what do you think of this place, why don't we take a look..."

Zhang Tian sorted out his thoughts and nodded, then Zhang Tian came to the "Wusi Pavilion" of the shipyard, and several people stepped up the steps. This "Wusi Pavilion" is actually a gallery for designing official ships. Si Ge" and found that there is a fresh smell of ink everywhere. It is full of shipbuilding blueprints designed by the Liu family. Each of them has been rolled up and placed in a bamboo tube, neatly placed in the corresponding cabinet. Among them, Zhang Tian reached out and took out a blueprint, and found that the details depicted on the blueprint were very clear. It seemed that the craftsmen of the Liu family were really good, and the design of the official ship was not a one-day effort.

Pass through "Wusi Pavilion" and walk north on the Qingshi Road, and come to the material warehouse. A small leader ran forward and took out the key on his body to open the warehouse. A group of people walked into the warehouse and inspected it. It is wood, shipbuilding tools, shipbuilding materials, ship components, large iron anchors, water compass, twelve rudders, weather vanes and other materials. It seems that I have to find a reasonable excuse...
