Chapter 354 Started construction!

Generally speaking, the general gun position requires about one zhang. There must be sufficient distance between two cannons. This is a need for a safe angle and a shooting angle. If the distance is too close, once a chamber explosion accident occurs, the cannon next to it will be affected. The cannons have been bombed very frequently in the past. At the same time, when the cannon shooting requires adjustment of the angle left and right. If the distance is too close, the angle cannot be adjusted.

The length of the No. 2 Fu Ship is generally about fifteen zhang (about 50 meters), so the upper deck can only be equipped with fifteen cannons. In fact, due to the division of cabins and the division of various engineering areas, one cannon per zhang. It is even more difficult for the second-level cabin. The second-level cabin needs to be loaded with a large amount of supplies, and it is very knowledgeable to have a safe place and install cannons.

The design of warships is a very complicated systematic project. Cannons are just one of the sub-engines. Warships are first ships and then warships. If even the basic functions of the ship cannot be guaranteed, then what is the use of installing more cannons? Just like the famous "Vasa" sail battleship in Sweden, the king made arbitrary changes and constantly demanded the increase of cannons, which caused the ship's center of gravity to be too high. As a result, it sank when it first went out to sea. The more than 120 cannons on the ship can only be gifts to the sea.

However, Zhang Zhun insisted on setting up a special monster. Zhang Zhun from later generations certainly knew the tragedy of Vasa. However, what Zhang Zhun needed was not Vasa, he only needed Vasa's cannons. These two monsters were not ready to sail far away. On the floating platform, one hundred cannons were installed. At least sixty of the No. 2 Fu Ship needs to be installed. Therefore, all the gun positions must be pushed down and started over again.

Finally, naturally, install cannons and fill sandbags.

After setting up the cannon position, the cannon will naturally be installed. Since no one has encountered such a monster, Xue Zhidie cannot accurately measure whether it is feasible. She also has no time to carefully calculate the force balance problem. Therefore, she can only install the cannon while experimenting and crossing the river while feeling the stones.

The purpose of sandbags is to press the ship firmly. The position of the cannons is relatively high. The more cannons, the heavier the weight of the upper half of the ship, the lighter the bottom, and it is easy to be head-heavy. The Swedish Sail Battleship was sunk for this reason. At the same time, since there are cannons on one side of the floating turret, the ship has severely lost balance, so a large number of sandbags must be used to maintain the balance of the ship. All of these sandbags are pressed on the bottom layer of the ship. In order to increase the weight of the sandbags, most of the sandbags, even wet.

For ordinary warships, if you want to sail, carry cargo, and maneuver flexibly, every bit of weight on the ship should be useful. It is shameful to waste the load capacity randomly. There is no ship that uses a large number of sandbags to maintain balance. For ships, this is completely impossible. However, Zhang Zhun has made it clear that these two big guys are just for the door and will not leave the one-acre and three-point land at the door. Therefore, Xue Zhidie turned this impossible into a possibility. This is the easiest, fastest and lowest-cost method. Of course, it is OK to install iron plates! However, Zhang Zhun has so many iron armor in a short time?

The sea area around Fushan City has relatively fewer winds and waves, so Xue Zhidie can greatly increase the displacement of the ship. The original displacement of the No. 2 Fu Ship was only 300 tons, but now it can increase to about 400 tons. These heavy sandbags are also to increase the weight of the ship. After putting in a large amount of heavy objects, the stability of the ship will greatly increase. According to her design, after filling thousands of sandbags, the side of the Fu Ship is definitely less than two feet away from the sea level.

This means that all artillery can be fired at will without worrying about recoil. Because the Cangshan boat is too light, the ships tend to be very tilted when the three artillery fires. It is definitely a test for sail drivers. Therefore, the Cangshan boat basically does not fire volleys, and the flying dragon cannons fire one after another.

However, the two lucky ships that were modified to be abnormal can be fired at their own volley without any scruples. Since the weight of the ship was greatly increased, the tilt of the ship would not cause sea water to surge on the deck when the cannons were fired. Just imagine what kind of scene would it be like when hundreds of cannons fired together! Although there were no tnt explosives from later generations and bombs from later generations, if a series of shells fell, no matter what ship it was, it would be in a mess. Solid bombs were used as grape bombs, which was not something that ordinary ships could withstand.

"Now!"

"start!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hands and announced loudly.

Time is tight, so Xue Zhidie quickly gathered the foremen to divide the labor.

The original shipyard had five foremen, responsible for different affairs. Now, there are two foremen Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu. Duan Changfa has poor hearing, but he is quite proficient in gestures. In fact, he is also an old ship craftsman. As long as Xue Zhidie uses special gestures to say hello to him, and Yin Dafu's yell, he can basically understand it.

The most important thing to complete the complex work is to be responsible for the reasonable division of labor. Yes, time is indeed very urgent, and work is indeed very cumbersome. However, the more time is, the more complicated the work is, the more chaotic it cannot be messed up. Because, once it is confused, at the last moment, it is discovered that what you have to do is not done, and you are forced to rework, or you have to do it again, this errand will be completely messed up.

Therefore, when Xue Zhidie was divided, she seemed particularly calm. She implemented it one by one to every foreman, or even every little foreman. What kind of errands each person should be responsible for and what he had to do every day were marked out, nailed to the wooden wall behind the high platform, and could be checked at any time. What kind of work he had completed every day should be marked out as soon as possible here to facilitate Xue Zhidie's overall grasp.

In order to facilitate command, Xue Zhidie set up a command center on Gaotai, and he stood here directly to solve problems at any time. As long as the foreman has any needs, he can come here to find him at any time. The technical problems can be studied and solved anytime and anywhere. Of course, Zhang Zhun is also staying here to assist in solving problems.

The transformation of two lucky ships is not something that can be completed in one unit of the Quail Bay Shipyard, and involves all aspects of the area controlled by Zhang Zhun. Standing on the high platform, Zhang Zhun's orders were issued continuously, providing a large amount of resources for the transformation of two lucky ships.

The first thing to be mobilized is a large number of skilled craftsmen.

In addition to the craftsmen responsible for making artillery, all other craftsmen were temporarily transferred. During the construction of Fushan City, a large number of workers and craftsmen were mobilized now. Xue Zhidie wanted 500 craftsmen, so Zhang Zhun naturally had a lot of them. To be serious, Zhang Zhun now has a lot of craftsmen. Therefore, it is not difficult to mobilize craftsmen.

Xue Zhidie was quickly responsible for arranging these craftsmen to help, mainly doing rough odd jobs. In fact, the space of the two ships could not accommodate so many craftsmen. On the Fuhai, there were at most two hundred craftsmen who could work at the same time. On the Ninghai, there were even fewer craftsmen. Most of the other work needed to be done on the beach.

For example, to build a moving gun mount. One hundred dragon cannons require one hundred gun mounts. Since Zhang Zhun needs too many cannons, each dragon cannon has very little room to move. Therefore, the original standard gun mount is no longer applicable. All gun mounts need to be redesigned and rebuilt.

There are many other sporadic guys who are arranged on the beach. For example, cutting raw cowhide, sewing cotton cloth, preparing standard purlins, cutting steel bars, filling sand into sacks, etc. These are the most basic raw materials, and now they must be made into standard parts that can be boarded.

To arrange such a complex division of labor, Xue Zhidie's ability to deal with it fully demonstrated. She arranged every job in an orderly manner. Of course, Xue Zhidie was also exhausted. Her body was already a little feverish, but now she was overloaded with her brain, and her face became more and more red. Zhang Zhun touched her forehead and found that it was so hot. He hurriedly called Ning Lingwei.

Ning Lingwei checked Xue Zhidie's pulse, reached out to check her body temperature, and said, "She wants to sleep, sleep well! It's not a problem to take medicine!"

Zhang Zhun frowned.

Xue Zhidie said, "I'll go to bed when I finish my work."

Ning Lingwei said: "When you finish your work, your body will collapse and it will take at least two months to recover."

Xue Zhidie said, "I understand, I am willing."

Ning Lingwei had to prescribe some nourishing medicinal herbs. She was fine anyway, so she cooked it for her in Caidiexuan and brought it over. Xue Zhidie hurriedly every time, and then went to work hard. Ning Lingwei had to complain to Zhang Zhun and said helplessly: "No matter how good the medicine is, it will be useless!"

Zhang Zhun could only say slowly: "In four days, just four days, I will let her have a good sleep."

Ning Lingwei complained rarely: "You came back from Jiangnan this time and you were really doing something."

Zhang Zhun shrugged helplessly.

Yes, this time in Jiangnan, the noise he made was indeed a little bigger. Just because Zheng Zhilong's fleet arrived, the entire Queqiao Bay Shipyard was full of people. However, Zhang Zhun would never regret it. The soldiers came to block the generals, and the water came to cover the soil, so he was afraid of a bird! After my two monsters came out, you, Zheng Zhilong, would know how powerful I was!

After allocating work, all the craftsmen became busy.

On the first day, the main task was to dismantle all the things that were not available on the two ships. Zhang Zhun was personally responsible for this work.

Although Zhang Zhun is not proficient in the construction of ships, he is definitely an expert in destroying ships. There is no way, the boatmen have their own inertial thinking, thinking that this is dangerous to demolish, and that is dangerous to demolish. It is like when moving, the owner is always reluctant to throw this or that. But everyone in the moving company wants to throw it away. Now Zhang Zhun is the role of this moving company.

In fact, it is indeed dangerous to remove these things. The warship is a whole and an inseparable whole. A certain part is demolished, and even if there is no problem in a short period of time, problems will occur in a long period of time. During the years of sailing at sea, the situation encountered by warships is very complicated. However, in Zhang Zhun's opinion, all he needs is one year. Therefore, he will demolish all the 300-ton warships. He will demolish at least fifty tons of extra parts. He will demolish the entire warship with an empty shell.

"dismantle!"

"Disassemble!"

"I told you to tear it off! You can tear it off!"

Zhang Zhun said without doubt.

Behind Zhang Zhun, two craftsmen followed, carrying ink pens. As long as Zhang Zhun designated the place to be demolished, they would draw a big cross on it and then circle it, indicating that it would be demolished here. Originally, Zhang Zhun wanted to write the word "demolition", but unfortunately they didn't know how to write such a word, so they had to give up.

"Tu tuk!"

"Bang bang bang!"

“Gaga!”

So, all kinds of sounds sounded.

Some people used an axe, some used a saw, some used a pry bar, some used a pulley set and a simple crane to remove all the parts that Zhang Zhun circled to dismantle. There was also a foreman who observed carefully next to him to avoid accidents.

There is no way, dismantling the ship is not an easy task. You have to remove excess things as much as possible, and not destroy the structure of the entire ship, but it is very important to kung fu. Especially things like joints and mortises, they were all connected after a long time. Now they have to be removed. The mortise cannot be damaged, so there is only a saw. Zhang Zhun just needs to open his mouth, but the boatmen have to do it themselves. In the cabin, dozens of people were bounded by Zhang Zhun to dismantle. At the same time, the entire ship suddenly became busy.
