Chapter 525: Test ship

The old man Qi then accepted the money and asked, "Did you say this morning that I want me to build a ship for you?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, how about it? I wonder if there is any problem?"

"No problem, no problem!"

Old Man Qi said quickly, then hesitated to look at the fat Zhu Shanzhi. Zhu Shanzhi said quickly: "What do you want you to do? Just do it. How many people do you want? Muchang will mobilize it. As for your business, I will naturally arrange people!"

Zhu Shan knew it was quite tactful. Jiang Lang nodded slightly and then said, "It should be OK now!"

Old Man Qi nodded quickly and said, "There is no problem. I don't know what ship I want me to build!"

Sun Yuanbiao next to him immediately took down the drawing on the table and handed it to Old Man Qi. Then Jiang Lang said, "You can build it according to the picture. You also have this wood yard. If there is any problem, just tell me what you need. Just say it to me. I will prepare everything for you!"

Old Man Qi nodded and said, "I will do the things that the lord has given me!"

Jiang Lang nodded with satisfaction, and then let the two go out.

In the next few days, a corner of the timber farm was transformed into a shipyard. Then, Lao Han Qi and others took a few fellow villagers to work hard. At the same time, all the raw materials for shipbuilding they needed were sent over.

As for Jiang Lang, he has been busy with official duties these days, and the information sent out to investigate has gradually returned a lot. A large number of Komu Army resting places on the sea surface were marked on the charts, waiting for Jiang Lang to give orders and then send troops.

However, Jiang Lang has no plans to send troops yet. For these Komu Army, he is waiting now, and after all the spies' information has been concentrated, he will dispatch the warships and then capture all the remaining Komu Army's maritime forces on the sea, completely scattering them.

On the fifth day, as before, after breakfast, Jiang Lang was handling the matter. The guards outside reported at this time: "Sir, Zhu Shanzhi, the manager of the wood farm, asked for advice!"

Jiang Lang raised his head and said, "Let him come in!"

After a while, Zhu Shanzhi walked in and saluted respectfully, then said: "Sir, the ship that Mr. Qi wants to build by Old Man Qi has been completed. Please check it!"

“Complete?”

Jiang Lang was still a little surprised. It was only five days before, and the old man Qi could complete the boat he gave him. The speed was still relatively fast, so he stood up and said, "Then take me to see! Where is the old man Qi?"

Zhu Shanzhi immediately said, "Sir Qi, they have already gone first. Please move to the beach. Where are they waiting now!"

"I'm more anxious than adults!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look together."

Zhu Shan Zhize said: "They are naturally intimidated and afraid that they will not do it for you, so they took the boat to try it first. If it is not good, they still have time to repair it!"

Jiang Lang nodded, without saying much, and followed Zhu Shanzhi toward the beach.

After arriving at the beach, I found that Old Man Qi and others were waiting. A boat was parked in the water. Like his own design, it was equipped with four wheels for paddling. There were baffles in front, which could be used to resist arrows and other things.

With a slight smile, Jiang Lang said: "How is this fun? I heard you tried the waters here early in the morning?"

Old Man Qi grinned and said, "I tried it, it's okay, it's just a little bit of effort!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Then you are trying it for me. I'll see, maybe there is anything else that can be improved!"

Old Man Qi and others nodded quickly, then asked the five men to board the boat, unveiled the cable, and then the four began to step on it. One man was at the back. As the wheels on both sides turned, the boat slowly sailed forward. Soon, the speed exceeded that of ordinary people. It can be seen that the hands of the men who were stepping on the wheel were also free. If the weapon was shooting, there should be no problem.

However, Old Man Qi said just now, it was a bit laborious. Thinking of this, Jiang Lang looked carefully and saw that the men were very hard.

Jiang Lang frowned slightly. If it was too laborious, it would be somewhat less worth the effort. You should know that whether it was landing or blocking boats that were riding on small boats and doing suicide attacks, you should save the soldiers' physical strength. If you have to spend your physical energy on rowing, you would be somewhat less worth the effort.

The brow frowned slightly, and Jiang Lang said, "Let them come back!"

Old Man Qi was stunned and said strangely: "Sir, this is just the beginning! Is there any problem?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "There is one problem, that is, what you said is too hard, so this should be improved!"

Old Man Qi nodded and said, "I know this grass man, but what do you mean by sir?"

Jiang Lang touched his chin and couldn't help but think in his mind. To save energy, a big way is to use gears. With the current casting technology, there should be no problem with gears. So he nodded and said, "I have noticed this in my mind. I will give you an answer tomorrow. I've actually come today. Then I'll try it too, see how this ship is like?"

"Sir, I want to try?"

Old Man Qi couldn't help but say in surprise.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said strangely: "What's so strange about this? Can you try it?"

"No, no?"

Old Man Qi shook his head quickly and said, "I might say this, it might be very dangerous. If it is...!"

Jiang Lang laughed and said, "I want to try it if it is dangerous. If it is really dangerous, how can I feel at ease to equip this ship with troops and use it for my soldiers? Only when I personally prove that he is safe, then there is no problem, which means that the ship is safe! I feel at ease to use it for my soldiers like this. There is no distinction between high and low in life!"

Old Man Qi was stunned. He really didn't expect Jiang Lang to say such words, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Lang turned his head and said to Sun Yuanbiao: "Let's go, go with me!"

Sun Yuanbiao has been following Jiang Lang for a long time, so he naturally understood Jiang Lang’s thoughts and did not stop him at the moment. He followed Jiang Lang to the beach.

At this time, the men had slowly leaned over the boat.

Jiang Lang waved and said, "You two come up!"

The men were a little puzzled, but according to Jiang Lang's wishes, two people came up. Jiang Lang and Sun Yuanbiao stepped into the boat and sat inside.

In order to facilitate the boat stepping on, simple chairs are set up in the four boat stepping on the boat, so that it is convenient to use force. After sitting on it, Jiang Lang stepped on the pedal, and it felt that the distance was still appropriate.

He nodded slightly and asked Sun Yuanbiao: "How do you feel?"

"Well enough!"

Sun Yuanbiao nodded and added: "It's good that the two sitting side by side need to cooperate well!"

There is no such wheel now, and there is no chain. It is a crankshaft-like pole connected to the wheel outside the ship, so the two people must be synchronized, otherwise it will consume extra strength and the ship will not leave. After all, this is not the two-person and three-person bicycles in the original society.

What Sun Yuanbiao said makes sense. Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "Let's start!"

"etc!"

Old Man Qi on the shore suddenly shouted, "Little Heizi, come up!"

The helmsman, who was called Xiao Heizi, got on the shore when he heard this, and the old man Qi got on the ship all at once and took the helm for the ship.

"Why did you come up?"

Jianglang’s strange path.

Old Man Qi immediately said: "This boat was made by the grass people. You are not afraid of danger and have to test the boat yourself. Old Man, I am not young and stand here on the sidelines. If something goes wrong, the grass people can still help!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly. It seemed that the old man Qi was afraid that something would hurt him, so he got on the boat. He didn't know that he was in the water, so he was completely comparable to the fish in the swimming pool. However, he refused a lot of his heart and said, "Let's start!"

Several people slowly began to exert force at the same time, and the wheels on both sides began to rotate, rowing the water, and the boat immediately began to move forward.

"The reaction was very fast!"

Jiang Lang made an evaluation. The boat moved as soon as these four wheels were paddling, which means that the boat was still relatively flexible.

Of course, Jiang Lang also experienced it personally. It is indeed very laborious to step on this boat. Even if he has his own strength, he probably can't hold on. It seems that using gears is still imperative.
