072 High Speed Sailing Ship 1
In the evening, after Jiang Chun came back, he went directly to Li You's place. When he finished speaking, Li You was also a little surprised. Sailing, Li You naturally understood, because he had owned a wooden high-speed sailing ship in his previous life. Shi also occasionally went to sea. This boat was made of teak wood, but he bought it for nearly two million US dollars that year.
Teak boats can be used for 30 to 50 years, which is basically the same as the lifespan of steel battleships. It can be seen how good the wood is. For Li You, there is no shortage of money anyway. Twelve pieces of teak are enough to make two pieces. There is a small monohull high speed sailing boat. This time, Li You intends to copy his original high speed sailing boat. It is a little excited to think about it.
"Tomorrow you take Hong Wu and Gouzi with you, buy all the wood, and remember to ask Hong Wu to bring more money."
"Okay, Patriarch, the young one will retire first." After Jiang Chun left, Li You took the pen and began to draw the high-speed sailing boat named Harrier in his previous life.
Just after dawn the next day, Jiang Chun came to the small courtyard where Hongwu lived. Now he is married and must live in a small courtyard alone. Wang Sanniang has a big belly. After opening the door, she asked: "It turned out to be Jiang Erlang, is there something going on this early in the morning?"
"Sanniang, I'm looking for something to do with your Dalang. Patriarch ordered."
Originally Wang Sanniang wanted to let Hong Wu sleep more, but as soon as she heard Li You's order, she quickly went back to the house and called Hong Wu.
Jiang Chun didn't wait long before Hong Wu came out and asked, "Sanniang said that the young master has orders, what's the matter?"
"The owner asked us to go to the Guangzhou Ferry Terminal and buy some wood from there. He also asked you to go to the account room to pay more."
Hong Wu was also a little puzzled. Jiang Chun has been responsible for selling wood for takeout these days. Why did he ask to buy wood back? He also asked, "Why buy wood?"
"This is the wood used in shipbuilding. It is teak. It is very expensive. When I came back yesterday, I ran into it at the pier. Buy all the wood."
"Twenty gold!" Hong Wu really thought he had misheard, and he could buy a house at this price. He also said, "Which, how much is it, how can it be so expensive?"
"The twelve roots are naturally a bit expensive because they are foreign things."
Hong Wu didn't say much either, he only said that he would go after washing. Jiang Chun also went to the dog again. Li You asked the dog to go, so naturally he asked him to take a few more people. On the pier, after more than 20 people got on the ship, they left with two catamaran cargo ships.
Li You went to bed together and began to paint again. He knows the ship very well. Whether it is structure or size, as long as he finishes it here, he believes that it won’t take a few months to make it in the shipyard. This boat is built, not to mention that it can reach the fastest speed of 25 knots like the original, at least it can definitely exceed 20 knots.
The Harrier is a high-speed sailing ship with a length of 30 meters and a width of 5 meters at its widest. It is also a yacht. The interior is beautifully decorated. It must be difficult to replicate it now. Some materials are simply not available. It can only be reduced, but Li You still intends to replicate the interior tables, chairs and sofas.
In the afternoon, he was really tired. He just left the room and planned to walk around. He had just left the inner courtyard and came to the door of the main house. He saw Chen Yu carrying a bow and carrying a small wild boar. When he came back, this guy was only sixteen years old, and he was really good enough to be able to carry nearly a hundred catties so far.
After seeing Li You, Chen Yu dropped the wild boar, and said: "The little one sees the young master." New 81 Chinese website updated the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
"No ceremony, so you are alone?" Li You asked. He knew that Chen Yu and the group would definitely not go out hunting alone.
"I came back first. Others planned to besieged the elephant. I didn't go, so I came back alone." Chen Yu answered Li You's words seriously, but Li You was a little surprised to hear that this elephant is not so good. Hunted.
"How are they going to hunt?"
"Heizi made a few giant crossbows according to the short crossbow that you gave, and planned to shoot them with the giant crossbow."
"Hehe, it's interesting, you can do your own thing."
"It's the young master."
In the evening, Hong Wu and others came back. Li You also came to the pier when he learned about it. He was a little surprised when he saw the wood. The wood was all dragged in the water. Each one was very thick, and the length directly exceeded 30 meters. The length is estimated to be nearly forty meters, and the diameter is nearly two meters.
Looking at it this way, let alone two ships, it would be okay to build a few more ships, but he immediately thought of another question, that is, why the wood was transported by big cannibals. Teak is only available in Thailand and Myanmar. There is no such thing as a colonialist in the period.
Immediately, Li You found Gouzi and asked: "Guzi, is there any other cargo in the cannibal ship?"
"Young Master, I don't know this, but this group of big cannibals looks a little... It should be said... They look a little bad." The dog is also difficult to describe.
Li You understood it at a glance. These people might be a group of pirate merchants, but it was none of his business after all, and he didn't say much.
A day later, Li You gave the picture to Jiang Chun. Jiang Chun looked at it. This is a three-story ship with a watertight compartment on the lower level and a residence in the middle. There is only a deck on the upper level and no buildings. The mast of the mainsail is very long. , It has reached sixteen feet, the fastest computer terminal of the new 81 Chinese website: https://
"Patriarch, if this ship is built, it should not be difficult, and it can be built within five months."
Nowadays, all kinds of craftsmen in the manor, especially blacksmiths, are also very easy to make metal parts to reinforce the hull. Now, Jiang Chun doesn’t think it is too difficult to build such a ship with many watertight compartments. After all, this ship is not. How old is it.
"It's still the old rule. You first make a model. After there are no problems, you can build it. I'm not in a hurry, as long as you can make it within half a year."
"The owner can rest assured that this ship does not have a superstructure. It will not take half a year in time. The interior can also be built by other craftsmen. It should be very fast."
Li You went on to say: "You can build the keel according to the length of the wood, and make the ratio on the ship photo correspondingly larger."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After Jiang Chun left, Gouzi also brought people to Li You's place. He was here to send elephant trunks and ivory.
Li You looked at the three-foot-long ivory and asked the dog: "Where is elephant skin?" Elephant skin can be used as medicine, and it can also be made into leather armor. This is a good thing, otherwise Li You would not ask this.
"Ah! Heizi only took the ivory and the trunk. I know that the ivory is valuable. The trunk was cut off after you heard the young master talk about it. So, the other things are ignored."
"Although this elephant meat is old, it is also meat. Everyone here has meat to eat, and this elephant skin is even more precious. You don't even get it. Now go and ask someone to get back both the elephant meat and skin. , Remember to call more people. After you get it back, remember to allocate a few catties to each household. Also, remember, the elephant skin needs to be cut off in its entirety."
"Yes, young master, I will let Heizi bring more people." (End of this chapter)
